6. DISCUSSION ITEMS
6.1. Fitch Ratings for YLWD 2003 & 2008 Water Bonds
Mr. Vecchiarelli reported that Fitch has confirmed YLWD's AA- bond rating
and would be recalibrating the District's ratings for its 2003 and 2008
water bonds at the end of the month from AA- to AA.
Mr. Vecchiarelli explained that the reason for Fitch's review and
surveillance was that the District had experienced weakened financial
performance during FY 2008/09, resulting partially from a delay in the
implementation of a rate increase following the Freeway Complex Fire in
2008. The District was also impacted by a considerable cost increase in
its imported water supply as well as mandated reductions in water sales.
Mr. Parker stated that staff had communicated with confidence to the bond
holders that the District would be able to maintain its bond covenants.
1
Mr. Vecchiarelli further explained that the rationale behind the recalibration
was that Fitch would like to ensure a greater degree of comparability
across its portfolio of credit ratings, among non-profit government
agencies and for-profit businesses. Mr. Vecchiarelli then concluded his
comments by stating that it was a great accomplishment for the District to
be able to maintain these ratings and thanked Ms. Navaroli and Mr. Parker
for their efforts and assistance in this endeavor.
6.2. Reserve Policy
Ms. Navaroli explained that the Finance-Accounting Committee had
recently reviewed a draft reserve policy and that the purpose of her report
was to present the Board with various reserve level options.
Ms. Navaroli then provided the Board with a PowerPoint presentation
regarding the purpose and benefits of adopting a formal reserve policy,
the various reserve types and thresholds, and the Districts current
designated reserves.
Ms. Navaroli, Mr. Vecchiarelli and Mr. Parker then responded to questions
from the Board regarding the District's designated reserves and debt
service requirements.
Mr. Vecchiarelli stated that staff planned to continue developing
recommendations for a reserve policy to be adopted with the FY 2010/11
budget in June.
Mark Schock addressed the Board and asked how the District's bond
ratings compared to those of Walnut Valley Water District and Mesa
Consolidated Water District (MCWD).
Ms. Navaroli responded that she did not have this information but that she
believed MCWD was rated AAA. Ms. Navaroli then stated that Fitch looks
favorable on agencies that adopt a formal reserve policy and that it would
be helpful should the District desire to issue bonds again in the future.
Mr. Vecchiarelli then responded to additional questions from the Board
regarding the water rate study.
6.3. Draft FY 2010/11 Budget
Mr. Vecchiarelli provided the Board with a PowerPoint presentation
regarding the draft FY 2010/11 budget. This included a review of
accomplishments during FY 2009/10, goals and objectives for FY
2010/11, and a summary of the FY 2010/11 budget assumptions
Mr. Vecchiarelli, Mr. Grady and Mr. Parker then responded to questions
from the Board regarding the draft budget and projected expenses.
President Mills requested that staff look into transferring the cost of
preparing a CEQA document for the OCWD annexation from operating to
capital.
2
Mr. Vecchiarelli concluded his presentation by saying that staff was ahead
of schedule and planned to present the Board with a draft budget for
review at the meeting scheduled May 27, 2010.
President Mills commended staff on their budget related efforts.
Mr. Vecchiarelli then asked the Board for direction regarding balancing the
draft budget. President Mills requested that staff look into the potential
fiscal impacts, if the OCWD annexation does not occur until July 2011.
Mr. Vecchiarelli confirmed staff's assumptions for FY2010/11 do not
consider the annexation occurring in that fiscal year.

Subject: 2010 Public Health Goals Report
SUMMARY:
Attached is a copy of the District-prepared Public Health Goals (PHG) Report. California Law
mandates that the District prepare a PHG report every three years if any water quality
measurements have exceeded any PHG or Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG). The report
provides information to the public about the occurrence of constituents in the public water supply,
the health risks associated with the contaminant, and the approximate cost to totally eliminate any
trace contaminant, regardless of how minimal the risk might be. PHGs and MCLGs are not
enforceable standards and no action to meet them is required.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors approve the 2010 Public Health Goals Report; authorize staff to notice
the public of the availability of the report for review and comment; and schedule a public hearing on
June 24, 2010 to receive and respond to public comments.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Public Information-Technology Committee considered this item on May 4, 2010 and offered
numerous recommendations for formatting and readability improvements, which have been
incorporated into the revised document.
DISCUSSION:
California Code of Regulations' Health and Safety Code Section 116470 (b) mandates that the
District, as an agency with more than 10,000 service connections, prepare a Public Health Goals
Report commencing July 1, 1998 and thereafter, every three years if any water quality
measurements exceed any Public Health Goal or Maximum Contaminant Level Goal.
The law requires the Public Health Goals Report to address substances in the water that are above
Public Health Goals established by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard
Assessment (OEHHA). For substances where OEHHA has not set a PHG, then the United States
Environmental Protection Agency Maximum Contaminant Level Goals (MCLGs) apply. PHGs and
MCLGs are not enforceable standards and no action to meet them is required.
Only six (6) water constituents (total coliform, lead, copper, arsenic, uranium and gross alpha) were
detected that exceeded the PHGs and MCI-Gs. None of the detected water constituents exceeded
the enforceable primary drinking water standards.
The law also requires the governing Board to officially accept the Public Health Goals report, notify
the public of its availability for review and hold a public hearing to respond to and/or accept public
comments.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
The Board of Directors accepted and filed the 2007 Public Health Goals Report in a public hearing
conducted on August 23, 2007. On June 28, 2007, the Board of Directors approved the final draft of
the 2007 Public Health Goals Report and authorized staff to notify the public of its availability for
review and comment.

Introduction
The limits established in California's regulatory drinking water standards protect the
public from harmful substances, but no water supply is ever completely free of
contaminants. Some, such as arsenic and uranium, can occur naturally. Others, such as
fuels, industrial solvents, pesticides and metals, may enter water supplies from chemical
spills and leaking tanks and pipelines, or they may be a legacy of agricultural and waste-
disposal practices that pre-dated modern environmental laws.
It is natural for people to want their drinking water to be completely free of all
contaminants. However, preventing or removing all contamination often is not
economically or technologically feasible. State health authorities are responsible for
determining the levels of contaminants that, based on current laws and
recommendations, can remain in water supplies without compromising human health.
Public Health Goals and Drinking Water Standards
To help keep drinking water safe, the California Legislature passed the Calderon-Sher
Safe Drinking Water Act of 1996. This law requires the California Department of Public
Health (CDPH) to regularly test drinking water supplies and set standards for
contaminants in water. The Act also requires the Office of Environmental Health Hazard
Assessment (OEHHA) to develop Public Health Goals (PHGs) for contaminants in
California's publicly supplied drinking water. Public water utilities with more than 10,000
service connections are required by the provisions of the California Health and Safety
Code Section 116470 (b) to prepare a Public Health Goals report by July 1, 1998 and
every three years thereafter if any water quality measurements exceed any of the Public
Health Goal levels or Maximum Contaminant Level Goal levels.
What is a Public Health Goal?
A PHG is the level of a chemical contaminant in drinking water that does not pose a
significant risk to health. PHGs are not regulatory standards; however, state law requires
CDPH to set drinking water standards for chemical contaminant as close to the
corresponding PHG as is economically and technically feasible.
In some cases, it may not be feasible for CDPH to set the drinking water standard for a
contaminant at the same level as the PHG. The technology to treat the chemicals may
not be available, or the cost of treatment may be very high. CDPH must consider these
factors when developing a drinking water standard. PHGs are non-enforceable goals
established by the California-Environmental Protection Agency's (Cal-EPA) Office of
Environmental Health Hazard Assessment. The law requires that where OEHHA has not
2
adopted a PHG for a constituent, the water suppliers are to use the Maximum
Contaminant Level Goals (MCLGs) adopted by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA). Only constituents which have primary drinking water
standard and for which either a PHG or MCLG has been set are to be addressed.
Appendix 1 is a list of California's PHGs and Appendix 2 is a list of the Federal MCLGs.
Included in the appendices are the test results for YLWD for the years 2007-2009.
If a constituent was detected in the District's water supply from year the years 2007 to
2009 at a level exceeding an applicable PHG or MCLG, this report provides the
information required by law. Also included in this report is the numerical public health
risk associated with the PHG and/or MCLG, the category or type of risk to health that
could be associated with constituent, the best treatment technology available that could
be used to reduce the constituent level, and an estimate of the cost to install that
treatment, if appropriate and feasible.
The purpose of the law is to give water system customers access to information on
levels of contaminants even below the enforceable mandatory drinking water standard
known as Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs). In addition, the law intends to provide
an idea of the cost to totally eliminate any trace of the contaminant from drinking water
regardless of how minimal the risk might be. The required report is unique to California.
How does OEHHA Establish a Public Health Goal?
The process for establishing a PHG for a chemical contaminant in drinking water is very
rigorous. OEHHA scientists first compile all relevant scientific information available,
which includes studies of the chemical's effect on laboratory animals and studies of
humans, who have been exposed to the chemical. The scientists use data from these
studies to perform a health risk assessment, in which they determine the levels of the
contaminant in drinking water that could be associated with various adverse health
effects. In performing the health risk assessment, OEHHA considers the following
factors:
• Certain groups of people, such as pregnant women, young children, the elderly
or persons with pre-existing illnesses, who may be especially susceptible to the
chemical's adverse effects. The PHG must consider health effects on individuals
in these groups.
• Accumulated effects of exposure to the chemical from other sources, such as
food, air and soil; as well as and other forms of drinking water, such as
showering.
3
• The chemical's potential to interfere with bodily functions in a way that
increases the risk of chronic health problems, such as liver damage.
• Possible synergistic effects from the combined exposure to the chemical in
question with other chemicals, which may further increase health risks.
When calculating a PHG, OEHHA uses all the information it has

guidelines were used in preparation of this report. No
guidance was available from state regulatory agencies.
Best Available Treatment Technologies and Cost Estimates
Both the USEPA and CDPH adopted what are known as Best Available Technologies
(BATS). BATS are the best known methods of reducing contaminant levels to below
MCL. Costs can be estimated for such technologies. Since many PHGs and all MCI-Gs
are set much lower than the MCL, it is not always possible or feasible to determine what
treatment is needed to further reduce a constituent downward to or near the PHG or
MCLG, many of which are set at zero. Estimating costs to reduce a constituent to zero is
difficult, if not impossible, to verify by analytical means that the level has been lowered
to zero. Additionally, in some cases, installing treatment to try and further reduce very

low levels of one constituent may have adverse effects on other aspects of water
quality.
Constituents Detected That Exceed a PHG or MCLG
The following is a discussion of the constituents that were detected in the District's
drinking water sources and water distributions system above the PHG, or if no PHG,
above the MCLG.
Total Colifor Bacteria
Total coliform (TC) bacteria are indicator organisms that indicate a potential microbial
water quality problem that requires confirmation follow-up sampling, testing, and
investigation. When the District receives a positive TC result from the contract
laboratory, a repeat sample set is immediately taken for a retest. In addition, the
disinfection procedures are reviewed and the sample collection site and the adjacent
section of the water distribution system are analyzed.
The MCLG for total coliform (TC) bacteria is zero percent (0%) of samples with
presence of coliform per month. The MCL for TC is not to exceed five percent (5%)
of positive or coliform-presence samples per month.
During the years 2007, 2008, 2009, combined staff and an independent certified testing
laboratory collected and analyzed from the District's water distribution system an
average of 160 TC samples each month, for a total of 5778 samples over the last three
years.
From these 5778 samples, there were 51 which tested positive for TC. This equates to a
3-year average monthly percentage of TC positive samples is 0.89%, which exceeds the
MCLG of zero percent (0%).
Factors that can produce positive TC test besides degraded water quality include, but are
not limited to, the weather and environmental conditions when samples are taken, and the
human factor associated with the collection methods, handling, and test procedures.
Numerical Health Risks
Because total coliform is only a surrogate indicator of the potential presence of
pathogens, it is not possible to state a specific numerical public health risk. While USEPA
normally sets MCLGs "at a level where no known or anticipated adverse effects on
persons would occur", they indicate that they cannot do so with coliforms.
5
Category of Risk to Public Health
The California Department of Public Health has determined that the presence of TC
bacteria is a possible health concern. TCs are common in the environment and are
generally not harmful themselves. State of California Health and Safety Code Section
64470(a) states: "The presence of these bacteria in drinking water, however, generally is
a result of a problem with water treatment or the pipes which distribute the water, and
indicates that the water may be contaminated with organisms that can cause disease.
Disease symptoms may include diarrhea, cramps, nausea, and possibly jaundice, and
any associated headaches and fatigue. These symptoms, however are not just
associated with disease causing organisms in drinking water, but may also be caused by
a number of factors other than your drinking water."
Best Available Technology to Remove or Reduce the Presence of Total Coliform
The addition of disinfectants to the drinking water is the best available technology to
eliminate or reduce the presence of TC. The District disinfects with and monitors
chlorine levels at our sources and water system to assure that the water served is
microbiologically safe. The chlorine residual levels are carefully controlled to provide
the best health protection without causing the water to have undesirable taste and odor
or increasing the disinfection by-product level. This careful balance of treatment
processes is essential to continue supplying our customers with safe drinking water. In
addition, the District also has an effective cross-connection program, maintains positive
pipeline pressures, and, conducts a regular flushing program for water distribution
system dead-end mains. The District has already taken necessary steps associated with
best management practices and the best available technology for the prevention and
control of TC in our water distribution system.
Cost to Reduce the Level of Total Coliform to a Level at or below the MCLG
Since we are applying a disinfectant and conducting a thorough effort to eliminate and
prevent the presence of TC, it is not prudent to initiate additional treatment as proper
disinfection and frequent flushing programs have proven to be effective methods in
destroying possible TC contamination, therefore no estimate of cost has been included.
Leath
Lead occurs in drinking water as a result of leaching or dissolving from household
plumbing and plumbing fixtures containing lead. The District's well water and import
water sources do not contain lead. Lead found inside homes is a chemical reaction of
the District's water with household plumbing fixtures which contain lead.
There is no Maximum Contaminant Level for lead. United States Environmental
Protection Agency and the California Department of Public Health Notification
6
NN
-yK
Level for lead is 0.015 milligrams per liter. The notification level for lead is
measured at the 90th percentile lead level of all samples taken from inside the
customer's household taps every three years.
The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment established a Public
Health Goal of 0.002 milligrams per liter. The District's 90th percentile of all samples
taken from inside the customers' houses in 2009 sampling for lead is 0.006 milligrams
per liter, which is well below the above-described Notification Level.
Category of Risk to Public Health
The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment and the Department of Health
Services has determined the following health risk for lead:
"Based on human data, the category of health risk for lead is neurotoxicity (decreased
learning ability). Neurotoxicity is lead's capability of destroying or adversely affecting
the nervous system, or interfering with the nerve signal transmission. Infants and
children who drink water containing lead in excess of the Environmental Protection
Agency and California Department of Health Services Notification Level of 0.015 mg/L
could experience delays in their physical or mental development and show slight deficits
in attention span and learning abilities. Adults who drink water containing lead in
excess of the Environmental Protection Agency California Department of Public Health
Notification Level of 0.015 mg/L over many years could develop kidney problems, high
blood pressure, and cancer."
ANEW
Numerical Health Risks
The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has a numerical cancer risk of
3 x 10-7 for the 0.002 mg/L PHG, and a cancer risk of 2 x 10-6 for the California
Department of Public Health Notification Level of 0.015 mg/L.
NOTE. Cancer Risk is defined as the theoretical 70-year lifetime excess cancer risk at a statistical
confidence limit. Actual cancer risk may be lower or zero. Cancer risk is stated in terms of
excess cancer cases per million (or fewer) population. For examples, 3 x 10-7 means 3 excess
cancer cases per 10,000,000 people, 2 x 10-6 means 2 excess cancer cases per 1,000,000 people.
(From the above, that means that 3 and 2 more people will get cancer than if the population
had not been exposed to the chemical.)

Best Available Technology to Remove or Reduce the Concentration of Lead
In general, optimizing corrosion control is the best available technology to reduce the
level of lead in drinking water. This is achieved through evaluations of the effectiveness
of adjusting alkalinity, pH, and calcium hardness, and the addition of phosphate or silica-
based corrosion inhibitors, or a combination of all. Optimizing corrosion control also
includes an intensive process of collection and analyses of water quality data to
determine the effectiveness of corrosion control.
Our water system is in full compliance with the Federal and State Lead and Copper Rule.
Based on our 2009 extensive sampling, it was determined according to State regulatory
requirements that we meet the Notification Levels for lead and copper, and therefore
deemed by the State Department of Public Health to have optimized corrosion control.
Cost to Reduce the Concentration of Lead to a Level at or below the Public Health Goal
Since the District meets the "optimized corrosion control" requirements, it is not
prudent to initiate additional corrosion control treatment as it involves the addition of
other chemicals, which could lead to additional water quality issues. Therefore, no
estimate of cost has been included.
1111k.
Copper
The District's well water and import water sources do not contain copper. Copper found
inside homes is a chemical reaction of the District's water with household plumbing
fixtures containing copper and brass.
There is no Maximum Contaminant Level for copper. United States Environmental
Protection Agency and the California Department of Public Health Notification Level for
copper is 1.3 milligrams per liter. The notification level for copper is measured at the
90th percentile of all samples taken from plumbing fixtures inside the customer's home.
Lead and Copper tests are conducted once every 3 years as required by CDPH.
The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has established a
Public Health Goal of 0.17 milligrams per liter. The District's 90th percentile of all
samples taken from inside the customers' houses in 2009 sampling for copper is 0.21
milligrams per liter.
s
Category of Risk to Public Health
The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment and the Department of Health
Services have determined the following risk for copper:
"Based on human data, the health risk category for copper is acute toxicity.
Acute toxicity is adverse health effects that develop after a short-term exposure
to copper. Short term exposure to high levels of copper can temporarily cause
problems in the gastrointestinal system."
Numerical Health Risks
The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has determined that, in the case
of copper, there is no numerical public health risk associated with the Public Health
Goal. Numerical public health risks are not calculated for chemicals considered non-
cancer causing.
Best Available Technology
Both the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and California Department of Public
Health adopt what are known as Best Available Technologies which are the best-known
methods of reducing contaminant levels to the Maximum Contaminant Level. Since
many of the Public Health Goals and Maximum Contaminant Level Goals are set much
lower than the Maximum Contaminant Level, it is not always possible or feasible to
determine what treatment is needed to further reduce a substance to or near the Public
Health Goal or Maximum Contaminant Level Goal.
Similar to lead, optimizing corrosion control is the best available technology to reduce
the level of copper in drinking water. This is achieved through effectively adjusting and
maintaining alkalinity, pH, and calcium hardness, and the addition of phosphate or silica-
based corrosion inhibitors, or a combination of all. Optimizing corrosion control also
includes an intensive process of collection and analyses of water quality data to
determine the effectiveness of corrosion control.
Arsenic
Arsenic is a naturally occurring element in the earth's crust and is very widely
distributed in the environment. All humans are exposed to small quantities of arsenic
(inorganic and organic) largely from food and to a lesser degree from drinking water and
air. Some edible seafood may contain higher concentrations of arsenic which is
predominantly in less acutely toxic organic forms.
9
GO
YLWD's Well No. 15 slightly exceeds the 10 parts per billion (ppb) arsenic primary
drinking water standard, the MCL. Currently, Well No. 15's 3-year average arsenic level
is approximately 10.58 ppb. Other District wells have an average 2.90 ppb arsenic level.
Whenever in operation, staff blends Well 15 water with other District wells in
compliance with State Health approved blending plan. Blended well water served to our
customer has an arsenic level of about 4.0 ppb, which is well below the current not-to-
exceed level of 10 ppb arsenic MCL.
The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has established a
Public Health Goal of 0.004 micrograms per liter or parts per billion (ppb).
Category of Risk to Public Health
The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has determined arsenic as a
carcinogen.
Numerical Health Risks
The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has a numerical cancer risk of
1 x 10-6 for the 0.004 ppb PHG, and 1 in four hundred for the EPA Maximum
Contaminant Level of 10 ppb. Note that, as previously described, cancer risk is stated in
terms of excess cancer per million (or fewer) population. The value of 1 x 10-6 means 1
excess cancer case per 1,000,000 people. (1 excess case means 1 person will get cancer
than if the population had not been exposed to the chemical.)
Best Available Technology to Remove or Reduce the Concentration of Arsenic and
Approximate Treatment Cost
Activated alumina, ion exchange, reverse osmosis, lime softening, coagulation/filtration
are the water treatment technologies available for achieving compliance with the MCL
for arsenic.
It would cost the District approximately $12 million dollars in capital cost excluding
annual operation and maintenance costs to reduce the arsenic levels of all its well water
to the PHG level of 0.004 ppb.*
* based on HDR-Southern California Arsenic Workshop, 2002 adjusted for 2010 dollars with
estimated 3.5% annual inflation, using granular ferric hydroxide with removal limit up to
<0.002 ppb.
Uranium
Naturally occurring uranium is found in groundwater supplies as a result of leaching
from uranium-bearing sandstone, shale, and other rock formations. Uranium may also
be present in surface water, carried through runoff from areas with mining operations.
10
Air
jc~
V`=
The Public Health Goal for uranium is 0.43 pico-Curies per liter (pCi/L), and the
Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) is 20 pCi/L. The District's average uranium level is
8.01 pCi/L. The levels detected were below MCL at all times.
Category of Risk to Public Health
The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has determined uranium as a
carcinogen.
Numerical Health Risks
The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has a numerical cancer risk of
1 x 10-6 for the 0.43 pCi/L PHG, and a cancer risk of 5 x 10-5 for the California Department
of Health Maximum Contaminant Level of 20 pCi/L. As previously described, 1 x 10-6
means 1 excess cancer case per 1,000,000 people; 5 x 10-5 means 5 excess cancer cases
per 100,000 people. (land 5 excess cases mean 1 and 5 persons respectively will get
cancer than if the population had not been exposed to the chemical.)
Best Available Technology to Remove or Reduce the Concentration of Uranium and
Approximate Treatment Cost
Ion exchange, reverse osmosis, lime softening, coagulation/filtration are the
technologies available for achieving compliance with the MCL for uranium. Using
reverse osmosis, it would cost the District about $45 million dollars in annualized
capital, and operation and maintenance cost to achieve the PHG level**.

Radionuclides such as alpha in water supplies are from erosion of natural deposits. The
term radionuclide refers to naturally occurring elemental radium, radon, uranium, and
thorium with unstable atomic nucleus that spontaneously decays producing ionizing
radiation. Gross alpha is defined as the sum total of these radionuclides. Exposure to
ionizing radiation in concentrations exceeding the maximum contaminant level may
have carcinogenic (cancer causing), mutagenic (causing mutation of cells) or teratogenic
(causing abnormalities in offspring) effects.
11
The EPA's Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) for gross alpha particle is 0 and
the California Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) is 15 pCi/L. The District's average
level of gross alpha is 8.33 pCi/L. The levels detected were below MCL at all times.
Category of Risk to Public Health
Health risk category based on experimental animal testing data evaluated in the U.S.
EPA MCLG document and California MCL has determined gross alpha particle as a
carcinogen.
Numerical Health Risks
The USEPA's MCLG for Gross Alpha is zero (0) and a cancer risk of 1 x 10-3 for the
California Department of Public Health Maximum Contaminant Level of 15 pCi/L.
NOTE. Cancer Risk = theoretical 70-year lifetime excess cancer risk at a statistical confidence
limit. Actual cancer risk may be lower or zero. Cancer risk is stated in terms of excess cancer
per million (or fewer) population. The value of 1 x 10-3 means 1 excess cancer case per 1,000
people. (1 excess case means 1 person will get cancer than if the population had not been
exposed to the chemical.)
Best Available Technology to Remove or Reduce the Concentration of Gross Alpha
Particles and Approximate Treatment Cost
Similar to uranium, reverse osmosis, lime softening, and coagulation/filtration are the
water treatment technologies available for achieving compliance with the MCL for
uranium. Removal and reduction could be achieved concurrently with uranium.

Conclusion:
Drinking water provided by the Yorba Linda Water District meets 100% of all enforceable
State of California, Department of Public Health, and United States Environmental
Protection Agency primary drinking water standards.
The District also meets 94% of all the California Public Health Goals and 92% of the
Federal Maximum Contaminant Level Goals. Public Health Goal levels are not
enforceable water quality standards, and no action to meet them is mandated.
For total coliform bacteria, the staff does not recommend further action. The District
has already taken all steps associated with the best available technology and multi-
barrier approach for control and occurrence prevention of total coliform bacteria
including an effective cross-connection program, maintenance and monitoring of proper
disinfectant levels, regular water quality monitoring of wells and reservoirs, source water
protection, and maintenance of positive pipeline pressures throughout the distribution
system.
For lead and copper, the District already has optimized Yorba Linda Water District
corrosion control, and the District's water has been meets 100% of all
found to be non-corrosive. Staff does not recommend enforceable drinking water
undertaking additional corrosion control efforts. It is standards from the
not recommended for two reasons: 1) the United California Department of
States Environmental Protection Agency and California Public Health and the
Department of Public Health classified the District's United State
system as having optimized corrosion control, and 2) Environmental Protection
adding chemicals for more corrosion control will cause Agency.
other water quality problems. These could reduce the
effectiveness of the current disinfection process which could increase the presence of
total coliforms. In addition, contributing factors such as type and age of plumbing and
plumbing fixtures, point-of-use and point-of-entry water treatment devices, and electro-
chemical-induced pipe corrosion could change the water chemistry in customers' taps,
thus increasing water lead and copper content.
For arsenic, the District's State Health Department approved blending plan and
performance requirements are being met to keep the level of arsenic below the
enforceable standard. Providing additional treatment for 100% removal to meet the
PHG would be cost-prohibitive.
13
For uranium and gross alpha particle, current methods of removal and disposal
technologies do not provide complete reduction to meet the level of the public health
goals at this time. In the future, if available removal technology can be achieved, the
District will explore and conduct the necessary studies and related costs to implement.
In summary, the drinking water served by the Yorba Linda Water District meets all State
of California, Department of Public Health and USEPA drinking water standards set to
protect public health. To further reduce the levels of constituents identified in this report
that are already significantly below the health-based Maximum Contaminant Levels
established to provide safe drinking water, additional costly treatment processes would
be required. The effectiveness of the treatment processes to provide any significant
reduction in constituent levels at already low values is uncertain. The health protection
benefits of these further hypothetical reductions are not all clear and may not be
quantifiable. Furthermore, the funds that would be required for the additional
treatment, approximately $57 million, might provide greater public health protection
benefits to the District's customers if spent on improving other water system operation,
surveillance, and monitoring programs.

Your 2010 Water Quality Report
Since 1990, California public water utilities have been providing annual
Water Quality Reports to their customers. This year's report also
known as the "Consumer Confidence Report," covers water quality
i s J r w► testing from January to December 2009. The Yorba Linda Water
F 4r. District's annual Water Quality Report is prepared in compliance with
the regulations called for in the 1996 reauthorization of the Safe
Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The reauthorization charged the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) with updating and
strengthening the tap water regulatory program.
Drought tolerant plants in front of District's Admin Building USEPA and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) are the
agencies responsible for establishing water quality standards. To ensure that your tap water is safe to drink, USEPA
and CDPH prescribe regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by water systems.
The State and Federal governments require that this annual water
quality report be sent to every customer to insure that you are
informed of the quality of your water. The District is committed to
safeguarding its water supply and, as in years past, the water delivered
to your home meets the standards required by the state and federal
regulatory agencies. J

What You Need to Know about Your Water, and How it May Affect You
Water System Information
Yorba Linda Water District is an independent special district that provides
water and sewer service to most of the City of Yorba Linda and to portions
of Anaheim, Brea, Placentia and unincorporated Orange County. For more
information about the District or your water service, please call
Management Analyst Cindy Botts, at 714.701.3024 or Water Quality
` Engineer Derek Nguyen at 714.701.3115.
The Yorba Linda Water District Board of Directors' regularly scheduled
meetings are held on the second and fourth Thursday of each month at
t 8:30 a.m. in the District boardroom located at 1717 E. Miraloma Avenue,
Placentia, California 92870.
a. 'aF
Sources c m.
The District's water supply is a blend of groundwater from our own wells and water
imported from Northern California and the Colorado River by the Metropolitan
Water District of Southern California (MWD). The source water for our wells is a
natural aquifer that is replenished with water from the Santa Ana River, local rainfall
and imported water. Managed by the Orange County Water District, the
groundwater basin is approximately 350 square miles in area and lies beneath most
of northern and central Orange County. The Yorba Linda Water District and more - -
than 20 cities and retail water districts pump from the groundwater basin to provide`.
Y
water to homes and businesses. Your water source depends on where you live or
work within the boundaries of our community. To find out which water source is provided to your home or business,
please visit the Water Quality Division of the District's website: http://www.vlwd.com/quality/index-guality.htmi
Local Groundwater
The District obtains approximately half of its water supplies from wells located within the District. The District's
groundwater sources include: Well No. 1, Well No. 5, Well No. 7, Well No. 10, Well No. 12, Well No. 18 and Well No.
19, which are located within Placentia city limits; and Well No. 11 and Well No. 15, which are located within Anaheim
city limits.

The District obtains the remainder of the water from local wholesaler Municipal 4
Water District of Orange County (MWDOC). MWDOC obtains water from regional
supplier Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD). MWD obtains
x
water from northern California via the California Aqueduct, and from the Colorado
River via the Colorado River Aqueduct. MWD owns and operates the Robert B.
Diemer water treatment plant located just north of western Yorba Linda where the '
water is treated to meet drinking water standards.
Basic Information about Drinking Water Contaminants
The sources of drinking water (both public tap water and bottled water) include rivers,
lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and groundwater. As water travels over the
surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals
and, in some cases, radioactive material. Water also picks up substances resulting
from the presence of animals or from human activity.
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some
contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk.
To learn • about potential contaminants listed in this report, call the EPA's Safe Drinking
Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791 or by accessing the EPA's
internet site at www.epa.gov/safewater
Contaminants That May Be Present In Source Water:
4, Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic
systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. Cryptosporidium is a microscopic organism that when
ingested can cause diarrhea, fever, and other gastrointestinal maladies. The organism comes from animal
and/or human waste and may be found in surface (imported) water. A standard treatment process that
includes sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection can eliminate cryptosporidium contamination.
4- Pesticides and herbicides that may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water
runoff and residential uses.
4- Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals that can be naturally occurring or result from urban storm
water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming.
4- Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic
chemicals that are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum
production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water
runoff, agricultural application and septic systems.
Radioactive contaminants that can be naturally occurring or be the result fj~ I' '
of oil and gas production and mining activities.
-
Radon Advisory
Radon is a radioactive gas that you cannot see, taste, or smell. It is found throughout the world. Radon can move
through the ground and into homes through cracks and holes in the foundation. Radon can build up to high levels in
all types of homes. Radon can also get into indoor air when released from tap water from showering, washing dishes,
and other household activities. Compared to radon entering the homes through soil, radon entering the home
through tap water will, in most cases, be a minor source of radon in indoor air. Radon is a known human carcinogen.
Breathing air containing radon can lead to lung cancer. Drinking water containing radon may also cause increased risk
of stomach cancer.
If you are concerned about radon, test the air in your home. Testing is inexpensive and easy. You may want to
consider modification to your home if the level of radon in your air is 4 picoCuries per liter of air (pCi/L) or higher.
There are simple ways to fix a radon problem that are not too costly. For additional information, you can call the
EPA's Radon Hotline (800-SOS-Radon).
The EPA proposed MCL for radon is 300 pCi/L. The proposal will provide flexibility to the states on how to limit
exposure to radon by allowing states to focus efforts on the greatest radon risks-those in indoor air-while also
reducing the risks from radon in drinking water. The states' option for radon compliance is as follows:
First Option: States can choose to develop enhanced state programs to address the health risks from radon in indoor
air. These programs are known as Multimedia Mitigation (MMM) Programs. Individual water systems reduce radon
levels in drinking water to 4,000 pCi/L or lower. EPA is encouraging states to adopt this option because it is the most
cost effective way to achieve the greatest radon risk reduction.
Second Option: If a state chooses not to develop an MMM program, individual water systems in that state would be
required to either reduce radon in their system's drinking water to 300 pCi/L or develop individual local MMM
programs and reduce levels in drinking water to 4,000 pCi/L.
Fluoride
The District does not add fluoride to its groundwater supplies. Naturally occurring fluoride is present in the aquifer,
but not at a level that provides dental health benefits.
In 1995, the California Legislature passed a bill mandating that all large water agencies fluoridate their supplies, but
only if the state or "somebody" provided the agencies with the funds to do so. To date, the state has not come up
with the funds to implement fluoridation.
MWD commenced fluoridation of the drinking
water it supplies to Southern California in
November of 2007. The District purchases
approximately half of its water from MWD.
Because of MWD's decision and the District's dual ackarOL.Ind
sources of water (groundwater and import),
YLWD is faced with a situation where some of its customers will receive water fluoridated
by MWD, some will receive non-fluoridated water, and some will receive a blend of
fluoridated and non-fluoridated water.
z JA
If you wish to know the approximate level of fluoride in your tap water, or specific water service area, please call
Derek Nguyen, Water Quality Engineer, at 714.701.3115. Additional information about the fluoridation of drinking
water can be found through the following sources:
➢ U.S, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1-888-CDC-2306

Special Disk Populations
Some individuals may be more vulnerable to the effects of possible contaminants in drinking water than the general
population. Persons who are undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, some
elderly persons, infants, persons infected with HIV/AIDS, or persons with other immune system disorders can be
particularly at risk. These persons should seek advice from their health care providers about drinking water. The
USEPA/Center for Disease Control guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risks of infection by cryptosporidium
or other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791).
What are Water Quality Standards?
Drinking water standards established by the U.S. EPA and CDPH set limits for substances that may affect consumer
health or aesthetic qualities of drinking water. The chart in this report shows the following types of water quality
standards.
➢ Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking
water. Primary MCLs are set as close to the PHGs (or MCLGs) as is economically and technologically
feasible.
➢ Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL): The level of a disinfectant added for water
treatment that may not be exceeded at the consumer's tap.
➢ Secondary MCLs are set to protect the odor, taste, and appearance of drinking water.
➢ Primary Drinking Water Standard: MCLs for contaminants that affect health along with their
monitoring and reporting requirements and water treatment requirements.
➢ Regulatory Action Level (AL): The concentration of a contaminant, which, if exceeded, triggers
treatment or other requirements that a water system must follow.
How are Contaminants Measured?
The District samples and tests it water sources throughout the year. Contaminants are measured in:
➢ Parts per million (ppm) or milligrams per liter (mg11)
➢ Parts per billion (ppb) or micrograms per liter (µg/1)
➢ Parts per trillion (ppt) or nanograms per liter (ng/1)
Parts per million: Parts per billion: Parts per trillion:

What is a Water uaiity G ail
In addition to mandatory water quality standards, U.S. EPA and CDPH have set voluntary water quality goals for some
contaminants. Water quality goals are often set at such low levels that they are not achievable in practice and are not
directly measurable. Nevertheless, these goals provide useful guidance and directions for water management
practices. The chart in this report includes three types of water quality goals:
➢ Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below
which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs are set by U.S. EPA.
➢ Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG): The level of a disinfectant added for water
treatment below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs are set by U.S. EPA.
➢ Public Health Goals (PHG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no
known or expected risk to health. PHGs are set by the California Environmental Protection Agency -
Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment.
Imported Water Assessment
In December 2002, Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) completed
a source water assessment of its Colorado River and State Water Project supplies.
Colorado River supplies are considered to be most vulnerable to contamination by
recreational uses, urban/storm water runoff, industrial runoff, increasing urbanization in
the watershed and wastewater contamination. State Water Project supplies are
considered to be most vulnerable to urban/storm water runoff, and wildlife, agriculture,
recreation and wastewater contamination. A copy of the assessment can be obtained by
contacting MWD by phone at 213.217.6850
Groundwater Assessment
e
The District completed an assessment of its Wells No. 1, 5, 7, 10, and 12 in January 1999.
The wells are considered most vulnerable to contaminants produced by the following
activities: gas stations; dry cleaners; metal plating/finishing/fabricating plants;
plastic/synthetic producers; underground injection of commercial/industrial discharges;
underground storage tanks; agricultural drainage; fertilization, pesticide and herbicide application; automobile-body
and repair shops; and chemical/petroleum
processing/storage.
Vulnerability assessments of potential sources of
contamination for Wells 11 and 15 were completed in April
2003. These groundwater sources are considered most
r~ a vulnerable to the following activities not associated with
detected contaminants: chemical/petroleum
y
process ing/storage; metal plating/finishing/fabricating; and
plastics/synthetics production.
A vulnerability assessment of potential sources of
_ i contamination for Well 19 and Well 18 were completed in
May 2004 and September 2005, respectively. The
groundwater sources are considered most vulnerable to the
following activities not associated with detected
contaminants: gas stations; dry cleaners; metal plating/finishing/fabricating plants; plastic/synthetic producers;
underground injection of commercial/industrial discharges; underground storage tanks; agricultural drainage;

A copy of the complete assessment is available at Department Public of Health District Office at 605 West Santa Ana
Blvd., Building 28, Room 325, Santa Ana, CA 92701. You may contact CDPH Sanitary Engineer Minliang Shih at
714.547.0430.
Measurements
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA and CDPH
prescribe regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in
water provided by public water systems.
The tables below list all the drinking water contaminants that the
District detected during the 2009 calendar year. The presence of
these contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that
the water poses a health risk. Unless otherwise noted, the data
presented in this table is from testing done for the period January 1
through December 31, 2009. The CDPH requires monitoring for
certain contaminants less often than every year because the
concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary
significantly from year to year. Thus, some of the data, though
representative of current water quality, is more than one year old.
The District contracts with state certified, independent laboratories to perform most of the District's water quality
testing.

15 were completed in April 2003.These
groundwatersou rces are considered most
vulnerable to the following activities not
dated with detected contaminants:
chemical/petroleum processing/storage;
metal plating/finishing/fabricating;and
plastics/synthetics production.
A vulnerability,assessment of potential-mr.of contamination for Well 19
and Well 18 were completed in May 2004 and September 2005,respectively.
The groundwater sources are considered most vulnerable to the following
activities not associated with detected contaminants:gas stations;dry
cleaners; metal plating/finishing/fabricating plants; plastic/synthetic
prod.'es; underground injection of commercial/industrial discharges;
underground storage tanks;agricultural drainage;fertilization,pesticide and
herbicide application;automobile-body and repair shops;sewer collection
systems;food processing,and chemical/petroleum processing/storage.
A copy of the complete assessment is available at Department Public of
Health District Office at 605 West Santa Ana Blvd.,Building 28,Room 325,
Santa Ana,CA 92701.you may contact CDPH Sanitary Engineer Minliang
Sh ih at 714.547.0430.
MeoaeuremeM to n
der sure that tap water is
safe to drink,EPA and CDPH prescribe
regulations that m t the amount of
certain contaminants n water pro vded �
by public water systems.
The tables below list all the drinking
water contaminants that the Dstnct - -- -
detected during the 2009 calendar year
The presence of these contaminants in
the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk.
Unless otherwise an the data presented in this table is Nom testing done
for the period January 1 through December 31,2009.The CDPH requires
onitoring far certain contaminants less often than every year because the
concentrad of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly
from year to year Thus,some of the data,though representative of current
water quality,is more than one year old.The District contracts with state
certified,independent laboratories to perform most of the District's water
quality testing.

Director
Subject: Draft FY 2010/11 Budget Revenue Alternatives
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors consider one of the alternatives within Option 2 to pass through an
increase from Metropolitan Water District (MWD) to be incorporated into the FY 2010/11 budget.
DISCUSSION:
It is Staff's intent to have a draft budget to the Board for the second Board meeting in May and
potentially a final budget document ready for adoption at the first Board meeting in June. Staff is
looking for direction as to what revenue option to include in the budget related to the water fund.
The following are options for Board consideration:
1) Maintain status quo without a pass through to cover the MWD 7.5% increase.
2) A pass through with the following alternatives to take effect during FY 2010/11 which
covers the MWD 7.5% increase:
A) Pass through increase effective July 1, 2010:
a) $0.03/unit increase; or
b) $0.97 increase to the monthly basic service charge
B) Pass through increase effective January 1, 2011:
a) $0.07/unit increase; or
b) $1.94 increase to the monthly basic service charge
Any of the four alternatives within Option 2 would result in approximately the same debt service
coverage ratio and net positive cash for funding reserves, specifically the most conservative funding
scenario recommended by the approved Asset Management Plan (AMP). The following chart
depicts the differences between no rate increase, and a MWD pass through.
Option 1 Option 2
No Pass-Through
Water Rate Increase Rate Increase
(FY 2010/11 (FY 2010/11
Total Operating Revenue $25,846,385 $26,125,874
Total Non-Operating Revenue $1,575,668 $1,575,668
Total Revenue $27,422,053 $27,701,542
Total Operating Expenses (includes
depreciation) $27,500,960 $27,500,960
Total Non-Operating Expenses $2,043,147 $2,043,147
Total Expenses $29,544,107 $29,544,107
Income (Loss) ($2,122,054) ($1,842,565)
Less: Principal on Long Term Debt ($825,000) ($825,000)
Less: Vehicle and Capital Equipment ($244,550) ($244,550)
Add back: Depreciation & Amortization $4,403,257 $4,403,257
Cash Basis $1,211,653 $1,491,142
AMP Recommended Funding - Water $1,820,000 $1,820,000
% of AMP Recommendation Funded 67% 82%
Debt Service Coverage Ratio 1.74 1.84
Should the Board decide to implement a pass through increase, as recommended by Staff, the
following benefits would be realized:
1) The AMP funding recommendation of $1.82M/year would be partially met at a 90% level.
2) The debt service ratio would be closer to the 2.0 Fitch-recommended level.
3) If either option under 2B is chosen, a pass through increase for FY 2011/12 related to MWD's
rate increase would likely not be necessary based on current YLWD and MET projections.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
The Board was presented with a proposed draft budget at a Board Workshop on April 30, 2010. The
Board recommended a revision to move a $100,000 CEQA Study from operating to capital
expense. That change has been incorporated into these budget projections.

2. DISCUSSION ITEMS
2.1. Monthly Groundwater Production and Purchased Import Water Report
Mr. DeCriscio reported on water purchases for April 2010, noting that the
District purchased 1,474 AF, which was 10.9% less than the target
conservation goal. He also reported that cumulative District purchases
are 7.3% less than the target goal through 10 months of the fiscal year.
2.2. Monthly Preventative Maintenance Program Report
Mr. Mendum reported on the status of the PM program, noting that the
District is at or exceeding its target goals in all areas except for sewer
pipeline televising. That activity has fallen behind due to equipment
downtime, which is being rectified by the purchase of backup equipment
now on order.
2.3. Monthly Groundwater Producers Meeting Report
Mr. Conklin reported on the April 14 GWP meeting, noting that OCWD
proposes to purchase groundwater recharge from MWDOC's unutilized
MWD import-water allocation for FY 09-10. The proposed purchase will
be up to 26,000 AF of full-service untreated water at an estimated cost of
$14.1 million. OCWD currently has budgeted $12.6 million for this
1
purpose. OCWD is unsure how much of the 26,000 AF it can utilize
between now and June 30, 2010, due to limitations in its recharge
capacity. Director Mills asked what the cost of this water is versus other
sources for recharge. Mr. Vecchiarelli indicated that staff will get that
information.

are noted, along with new projects being initiated. Mr. Vecchiarelli noted
that this information will be presented in more detail in the budget
document for FY 10-11.
2.6. Future Agenda Items and Staff Tasks
None.
