4. DISCUSSION ITEMS
4.1. MWD Water Supply Conditions and Outlook
MWD has around 3 million AF of storage.
4.2. Condition of OCWD Groundwater Basin, Water Purchased for Recharge,
and In-Lieu Recharge
The groundwater basin has an overdraft of 180,000 to 190,000 AF, with an
incidental recharge of 90,000 AF. OCWD does not plan on purchasing
MWD water this year for recharge or In-lieu. This means that In-lieu will not
be available for groundwater producers. OCWD is considering how to divert
the Santa Ana River away from the settlement basins that recharge the
groundwater basin to reduce the contribution of PFAS from this surface
water.

4.3. Funding and Time Frame for PFAS Treatment Studies, Design,
Construction, and Operations and Maintenance
Mr. Markus said that this will be discussed at the next WIC and Groundwater
Producers meetings in August, and then a recommendation will be brought
before the Board. YLWD requested that OCWD pay for the District’s capital
and O&M treatment costs. OCWD will be putting out an RFP in the next few
weeks for a PFAS Treatment Systems Planning Study. Ms. Weston
mentioned that YLWD will be participating in the planning study.
4.4. YLWD Well Projects (Subject to resolution of funding of PFAS treatment.)
Well 22: Design is complete and the project is shovel-ready. YLWD is
seeking grant funding (SARCCUP) from OCWD for well equipping. The
Engineer’s Estimate for construction is approximately $1.5 million. Mr.
Markus will follow-up with John Kennedy to see if grant funding is available
for YLWD and what are the requirements for utilizing this money.
Well 23: YLWD will proceed to negotiate the lease for the well easement
with OCWD.
4.5. Tour of YLWD Facilities
Mr. DeCriscio conducted a tour of Highland Pump Station and Reservoir,
where all of the well water is blended prior to serving it to customers. YLWD
is building a pressure reducing station adjacent to the pump station to take
import water from Zone 2 to the reservoir to feed Zone 1.
