DISCUSSION ITEMS
4.1. Status of Water Supply in Metropolitan Water District Service Area
Director Barbre reported to the Committee that Metropolitan's present
storage facilities are near full. Because Southern California agencies
have invested billions of dollars in water - supply improvements over the
past two decades, there is no immediate water - supply emergency in
Southern California. In fact, the region's water supplies are in such good
shape that, so far, most Metropolitan Member Agencies are merely asking
residents to continue to conserve and are not asking for major cutbacks.
4.2. Status of Potential YLWD Representation on the Orange County
Sanitation Board of Directors
Director Kiley updated the Committee on the legislative developments in
the transferring of the City's seat on the OCSD Board to YLWD.
4.3. Status of Annexation to Orange County Water District and Construction of
Well 21
Mr. Conklin gave a brief update on the progress in the Annexation of the
remainder of the YLWD service area into OCWD and an update on the
Construction of Well 21. The annexation will be considered by LAFCO at
its board meeting in April or May 2014. Well 21 is currently being drilled.
The above -grade facilities and pipeline for the well project are presently in
the design stage, with an estimated date of completion for the project in
late 2015.
4.4. Future Agenda Items
None.

5.1. The meeting was adjourned at 10:00 a.m. The next Citizens Advisory
