ADDITIONS/DELETIONS TO THE AGENDA Mr. Marcantonio requested to add the following item to the agenda as there was a need to take immediate action and the need for action came to staff’s attention subsequent to the agenda being posted. Minutes of the YLWD Board of Directors Regular Meeting Held June 23, 2016 at 8:30 a.m. 2 8.4 Request for Letter of Support for City of Anaheim’s Prop 1 Stormwater Improvement Grant Application Recommendation: That the Board of Directors review the attached draft letter of support, provide any necessary revisions to the letter, direct the General Manager to prepare and sign the letter of support and forward it to the City of Anaheim. An agenda report related to this item was previously distributed to the Board and made available to the public. Director Beverage made a motion, seconded by Director Hawkins, to add Item No. 8.4. to the agenda. Motion carried 5-0. 5. INTRODUCTIONS AND PRESENTATIONS 5.1. MWDSC/MWDOC Director’s Report None. 6. PUBLIC COMMENTS None. 7. CONSENT CALENDAR Director Beverage made a motion, seconded by Director Hawkins, to approve the Consent Calendar. Motion carried 5-0. 7.1. Minutes of the Board of Directors Regular Meeting held May 26, 2016 Recommendation: That the Board of Directors approve the minutes as presented. 7.2. Payments of Bills, Refunds, and Wire Transfers Recommendation: That the Board of Directors ratify and authorize disbursements in the amount of $1,112,482.81. 8. ACTION CALENDAR 8.1. Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2016/17 Mrs. Lugo explained that each year, the District must adopt the Appropriations Limit and factors used to calculate this number, in accordance with Proposition 13, Government Code 7900 and Article XIIIB of the California Constitution. The Appropriations Limit assures that government agencies do not assess and collect taxes in excess of the controlled limits. The District receives a relatively small amount of revenue from property taxes annually which is historically well below the Minutes of the YLWD Board of Directors Regular Meeting Held June 23, 2016 at 8:30 a.m. 3 Appropriates Limitation each year. The District’s budgeted property tax revenue for FY 2016/17 is $1,450,000, which is substantially lower than the calculated limitation of $6,728,584. Therefore, there are no excess appropriations to be returned to the taxpayers. Mrs. Lugo then responded to questions from the Board regarding the District’s property tax revenue in FY 2015/16 and the assessment process. Director Beverage made a motion, seconded by Director Kiley, to approve Resolution No. 16-07 Adopting the Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2016/17. Motion carried 5-0 on a Roll Call vote. Mrs. Lugo noted that as required by law, YLWD’s appropriations limit calculation had been posted in the lobby and on the District’s website for two weeks prior to the meeting. 8.2. Financial Reserves Policy for Fiscal Year 2016/17 Mrs. Delia explained that the proposed policy was substantially the same as the prior years with the exception of the addition of a new reserve and an updated account balance. Target levels for previously established reserves would remain the same and the new Conservation Reserve would be funded by the net result of assessed administrative penalties less allowed expenditures each fiscal year. The Conservation Reserve will be used for District efforts related but not limited to, employee salaries and materials for conservation and leak detection, as well as other allowable expenses outside the normal cost of service. President Collett asked about the possibility of having a third party review the District’s reserve amounts and commented on the City of Yorba Linda’s reserve amounts. At the request of Director Melton, Councilmember Hernandez provided an overview of the City of Yorba Linda’s reserves. Mr. Marcantonio suggested that the District’s financial advisors provide additional information to the Board regarding appropriate reserve levels and commented on other agencies methods for calculating reserves. Director Beverage commented on previous recommendations provided by the District’s financial advisors related to reserves. Additional discussion regarding restricted and dedicated reserves as well as the relationship between reserves and bond ratings followed. President Collett requested that staff come back to the Board with a proposal for a third party review of the District’s reserve policy. Director Beverage suggested that this matter be discussed at a future workshop meeting. Director Kiley made a motion, to approve Resolution No. 16-08 Adopting the Financial Reserves Policy for Fiscal Year 2016/17 and Rescinding Resolution No. 15-14. Mrs. Lugo noted that representatives from Fieldman Rolapp were willing to work with the District to establish a new reserves policy based on Raftelis’ Minutes of the YLWD Board of Directors Regular Meeting Held June 23, 2016 at 8:30 a.m. 4 recommendations contained in the water/sewer rate study. However, Fieldman Rolapp has recommended that the District postpone revising its reserves policy until it is able to contribute to each of the reserves on an annual basis as recommended. President Collett reiterated the importance of having a third party review of the District’s reserves policy. Director Hawkins seconded the motion which carried 5-0 on a roll call vote. 8.3. California Special Districts Association (CSDA) 2016 Board Elections Mr. Marcantonio explained that the Board had the opportunity to vote for a candidate in the upcoming CSDA 2016 Board Election. Each of CSDA’s six networks has three seats on the Board. Mr. Bill Nelson from the Orange County Cemetery District is running for re-election for Seat B in the Southern Network along with Mr. John DeMonaco from the Chino Valley Independent Fire District and Mr. Ronald Coats from the East Valley Water District. Director Hawkins made a motion, seconded by Director Melton, to vote for Mr. Bill Nelson from the Orange County Cemetery District in the CSDA 2016 Board Election for Seat B in the Southern Network. Motion carried 5-0. 8.4. Request for Letter of Support for City of Anaheim’s Prop 1 Stormwater Improvement Grant Application Mr. Steve Conklin explained that staff from the City of Anaheim had requested a letter of support for their agency’s Stormwater Grant Application to the State for a project located near Richfield Road and La Palma Avenue. The project is designed to help alleviate flooding in the area and contribute to the reliability of the local groundwater supply by diverting stormwater to OCWD’s recharge facilities which would otherwise be lost to the Santa Ana River and the Pacific Ocean. A copy of the draft letter and OCWD’s letter of support were included in the agenda packet. Mr. Conklin then responded to questions from the Board regarding the location of the proposed project. Director Beverage made a motion, seconded by Director Kiley, to approve the letter of support as presented and direct the General Manager to execute and forward it to the City of Anaheim. Motion carried 5-0. 9. REPORTS, INFORMATION ITEMS, AND COMMENTS 9.1. President's Report None. Minutes of the YLWD Board of Directors Regular Meeting Held June 23, 2016 at 8:30 a.m. 5 9.2. Directors' Reports Director Hawkins commented on the new watering schedule and how fast his lawn turned from brown to green in a two-week period. President Collett noted that he’d experienced the same and asked about the daily production trends. Mr. Martinez provided an overview of June’s daily production as compared to the same month last year and noted that there had been an approximate 10% increase. Mr. Marcantonio clarified that the increase was in production not consumption and that staff had recently augmented reservoir levels due to weather conditions. Director Beverage commented on the number of people in his neighborhood who were unaware of the new watering schedule. 9.3. General Manager's Report Mr. Marcantonio asked each of the managers or their designees to provide a report regarding activities within their respective departments. Mr. Conklin reported on the status of the Richfield Road and Well 21 projects and responded to questions from the Board regarding potholing activities on Richfield Road. Mr. Martinez provided a report on behalf of Mr. John DeCriscio. He commented on the increased number of AMS leaks recently detected through the District’s water loss prevention program. In light of this upsurge, two additional leak crews have been formed. He also reported on the percentage of groundwater versus import water being utilized. Mrs. Lugo reported that Finance staff were working on preparation of the budget and the ongoing audit. She noted that Wells Fargo had determined to delay consideration of extending the District’s line of credit until mid-July. Mr. Vega reported that a hard drive on one of the servers had failed. He provided an overview of staff’s mitigation efforts and commented on the number of blocked threats to the District’s computer network over the past two months. Mr. Micalizzi reported that the State had recently approved the District’s self-certification conservation standard of 0%. Included in the application was a listing of the Districts mechanisms supporting a higher level of conservation, one of which is the 10% water use reduction goal associated with Stage 1 of YLWD’s Conservation Ordinance. At the request of President Collett, Mr. Micalizzi clarified that this meant the District had self-certified that it would have adequate water supplies for 3 more dry years, not that conservation efforts would be discontinued. Mr. Micalizzi also provided an overview of staff’s efforts to notify customers of the new water schedule and the status of various legislative matters. He further noted that the next issue of the newsletter would be out to Minutes of the YLWD Board of Directors Regular Meeting Held June 23, 2016 at 8:30 a.m. 6 customers in the next few days and commented on local media interest in the outcome of pending litigation. Messrs. Martinez, Marcantonio, and Conklin then responded to questions from the Board regarding staff’s efforts associated with Red Flag events and ongoing fire risk mitigation activities. Mr. Micalizzi and Mr. Marcantonio also responded to questions from the Board regarding the City’s and School District’s expected bounce back in water consumption. Mrs. Knight reported that staff had been successful in obtaining a wellness grant for $2,000 from ACWA/JPIA. She also noted that required staff had participated in annual hearing testing for which there was no shift in the results as compared to the previous years. Additionally, staff is in the process of reviewing approximately 250 applications for an open position in Customer Service as well as working on the upgrade to Laserfiche Avante. Mr. Marcantonio reported that MWDOC’s Board of Directors had approved a county-wide conservation goal of 10% which aligns with the District’s current conservation goal of 10%. He also provided an overview of new litigation filed by IRWD against OCWD. 9.4. General Counsel's Report None. 9.5. Future Agenda Items and Staff Tasks None. 10. COMMITTEE REPORTS 10.1.

The Ad Valorem Tax Revenues shall not be used for any other purposes while any of the 2016A Bonds remain unpaid, except as provided for herein and in the 2012A Indenture. In the event that the Ad Valorem Tax Revenues are not sufficient in amount to pay the payments of principal of and interest, and the premium, if any, on the 2016A Bonds and the 2012A Bonds when due, such amounts shall be paid from other Net Revenues. (b) In order to carry out and effectuate the pledge and lien contained herein, the District agrees and covenants that: (i) all Revenues shall be received by the District in trust hereunder and shall be deposited when and as received in a special fund designated as the “Revenue Fund,” which fund is hereby continued and which fund the District agrees and covenants to maintain and to hold separate and apart from other funds so long as the 2016A Bonds and any Contracts or Debt Service on Bonds remain unpaid; and (ii) all Ad Valorem Tax Revenues shall be deposited when and as received in an account within the Revenue Fund called the “Ad Valorem Taxes Account of the Revenue Fund,” which account is hereby continued and which account the District agrees and covenants to maintain 23 and to hold separate and apart from other accounts so long as the 2016A Bonds and any Contracts or Debt Service on Bonds remain unpaid. Moneys in the Revenue Fund shall be used and applied by the District as provided herein. All moneys in the Revenue Fund shall be held in trust and shall be applied, used and withdrawn for the purposes set forth in this Section and the 2012A Indenture.

(ii) Reserve Funds. On or before each Interest Payment Date, the District shall, first from moneys in the Ad Valorem Taxes Account and second from other remaining moneys in the Revenue Fund, thereafter, without preference or priority and in the event of any insufficiency of such moneys ratably without any discrimination or preference, transfer to the applicable trustees for reserve funds and/or accounts, if any, as may have been established in connection with Bonds or Contracts, that sum, if any, necessary to restore such funds or accounts to an amount equal to the reserve requirement with respect thereto.

In the absence of any such directions from the District, the Trustee shall invest any such moneys in Permitted Investments described in clause (B)(5) of the definition thereof; provided, however, that any such investment shall be made by the Trustee only if, prior to the date on which such investment is to be made, the Trustee shall have received a written direction from the District specifying a specific money market fund and, if no such written direction from the District is so received, the Trustee shall hold such moneys uninvested.

All money at any time deposited in the Rebate Fund shall be held by the Trustee in trust for payment to the United States Treasury. All amounts on deposit in the Rebate Fund for the 2016A Bonds shall be governed by this Section and the Tax Certificate, unless and to the extent that the District delivers to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel that the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the 2016A Bonds will not be adversely affected if such requirements are not satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Tax Certificate, the Trustee: (i) shall be deemed conclusively to have complied with the provisions thereof if it follows all Requests of the District; and (ii) shall have 26 no liability or responsibility to enforce compliance by the District with the terms of the Tax Certificate; and (iii) may rely conclusively on the District’s calculations and determinations and certifications relating to rebate matters; and (iv) shall have no responsibility to independently make any calculations or determinations or to review the District’s calculations or determinations thereunder.

In the event that immediately following the transfer required by the previous sentence, the amount then on deposit to the credit of the Rebate Fund exceeds the amount required to be on deposit therein, upon Written Request of the District, the Trustee shall withdraw the excess from the Rebate Fund and then credit the excess to the Payment Fund. (iii) Payment to the Treasury. The Trustee shall pay, as directed by Written Request of the District, to the United States Treasury, out of amounts in the Rebate Account: (A) Not later than 60 days after the end of: (X) the fifth Bond Year; and (Y) each applicable fifth Bond Year thereafter, an amount equal to at least 90% of the Rebatable Arbitrage calculated as of the end of such Bond Year; and (B) Not later than 60 days after the payment of all the 2016A Bonds, an amount equal to 100% of the Rebatable Arbitrage calculated as of the end of such applicable Bond Year, and any income attributable to the Rebatable Arbitrage, computed in accordance with Section 148(f) of the Code and Section 1.148-3 of the Treasury Regulations. In the event that, prior to the time of any payment required to be made from the Rebate Fund, the amount in the Rebate Fund is not sufficient to make such payment when such payment is due, the District shall calculate or cause to be calculated the amount of such deficiency and deposit an amount received from any legally available source equal to such deficiency prior to the time such payment is due. Each payment required to be made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall be made to the Internal Revenue Service Center, Ogden, Utah 84201 on or before the date on which such payment is due, and shall be accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form 8038-T (prepared by the District), or shall be made in such other manner as provided under the Code. 27 (b) Disposition of Unexpended Funds.

(b) The District will keep appropriate accounting records in which complete and correct entries shall be made of all transactions relating to the Water System, which records shall be available for inspection by the Trustee (which shall have no duty to inspect such records) at reasonable hours and under reasonable conditions. (c) The District will prepare and file with the Trustee annually within two hundred seventy (270) days after the end of each Fiscal Year (commencing with the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2016) financial statements of the District for the preceding Fiscal Year prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, together with an Accountant’s Report thereon. The Trustee shall have no duty to review such financial statements. Section 6.06. Tax Covenants. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, absent an opinion of Bond Counsel that the exclusion from gross income of the portion of interest on the 2016A Bonds will not be adversely affected for federal income tax purposes, the District covenants to comply with all applicable requirements of the Code necessary to preserve such exclusion from gross income with respect to the 2016A Bonds and specifically covenants, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as follows: (a) Private Activity. The District will take no action or refrain from taking any action or make any use of the proceeds of the 2016A Bonds or of any other moneys or property which would cause the 2016A Bonds to be “private activity bonds” within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code; (b) Arbitrage. The District will make no use of the proceeds of the 2016A Bonds or of any other amounts or property, regardless of the source, or take any action or refrain from taking any action which will cause the 2016A Bonds to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code; (c) Federal Guarantee. The District will make no use of the proceeds of the 2016A Bonds or take or omit to take any action that would cause the 2016A Bonds to be “federally guaranteed” within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code; (d) Information Reporting. The District will take or cause to be taken all necessary action to comply with the informational reporting requirement of Section 149(e) of the Code necessary to preserve the exclusion of interest on the 2016A Bonds pursuant to Section 103(a) of the Code; 29 (e) Hedge Bonds. The District will make no use of the proceeds of the 2016A Bonds or any other amounts or property, regardless of the source, or take any action or refrain from taking any action that would cause the 2016A Bonds to be considered “hedge bonds” within the meaning of Section 149(g) of the Code unless the District takes all necessary action to assure compliance with the requirements of Section 149(g) of the Code to maintain the exclusion from gross income of interest on the 2016A Bonds for federal income tax purposes; and (f) Miscellaneous. The District will take no action or refrain from taking any action inconsistent with its expectations stated in the Tax Certificate executed by the District in connection with the issuance of the 2016A Bonds and will comply with the covenants and requirements stated therein and incorporated by reference herein. This Section and the covenants set forth herein shall not be applicable to, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent the District from causing the Trustee to issue revenue bonds or to execute and deliver contracts payable on a parity with the 2016A Bonds, the interest with respect to which has been determined by Bond Counsel to be subject to federal income taxation. Section 6.07. Waiver of Laws. The District shall not at any time insist upon or plead in any manner whatsoever, or claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law now or at any time hereafter in force that may affect the covenants and agreements contained in the Indenture or in the 2016A Bonds, and all benefit or advantage of any such law or laws is hereby expressly waived by the District to the extent permitted by law. Section 6.08. Further Assurances. The District will make, execute and deliver any and all such further indentures, instruments and assurances as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out the intention or to facilitate the performance of the Indenture and for the better assuring and confirming unto the Owners of the 2016A Bonds of the rights and benefits provided in the Indenture. Section 6.09. Budgets. On or prior to the thirtieth day of each Fiscal Year, the District shall certify to the Trustee that the amounts budgeted for payment of the principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds are fully adequate for the payment of all such payments for such Fiscal Year. If the amounts so budgeted are not adequate for the payment of the principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds due under the Indenture, the District will take such action as may be necessary to cause such annual budget to be amended, corrected or augmented so as to include therein the amounts required to be raised by the District in the then ensuing Fiscal Year for the payment of the principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds due under the Indenture and will notify the Trustee of the proceedings then taken or proposed to be taken by the District. Section 6.10. Observance of Laws and Regulations. To the extent necessary to assure its performance hereunder, the District will well and truly keep, observe and perform all valid and lawful obligations or regulations now or hereafter imposed on the District by contract, or prescribed by any law of the United States of America, or of the State, or by any officer, board or commission having jurisdiction or control, as a condition of the continued enjoyment of any and every right, privilege or franchise now owned or hereafter acquired by the District, respectively, including its right to exist and carry on its business, to the end that such contracts, rights and franchises shall be maintained and preserved, and shall not become abandoned, forfeited or in any manner impaired. Section 6.11. Compliance with Contracts. The District will neither take nor omit to take any action under any contract if the effect of such act or failure to act would in any manner impair or 30 adversely affect the ability of the District to pay principal of or interest on the 2016A Bonds; and the District will comply with, keep, observe and perform all agreements, conditions, covenants and terms, express or implied, required to be performed by it contained in all other contracts affecting or involving the Water System, to the extent that the District is a party thereto. Section 6.12. Prosecution and Defense of Suits. The District shall promptly, upon request of the Trustee or any 2016A Bond Owner, from time to time take such action as may be necessary or proper to remedy or cure any defect in or cloud upon the title to the Water System or any part thereof, whether now existing or hereafter developing, shall prosecute all such suits, actions and other proceedings as may be appropriate for such purpose and shall indemnify and save the Trustee (including all of its employees, officers and directors), and every 2016A Bond Owner harmless from all loss, cost, damage and expense, including attorneys’ fees, which they or any of them may incur by reason of any such defect, cloud, suit, action or proceeding. The District shall defend against every suit, action or proceeding at any time brought against the Trustee (including all of its employees, officers and directors) or any 2016A Bond Owner upon any claim arising out of the receipt, application or disbursement of any of the payments of principal of or interest on the 2016A Bonds or involving the rights of the Trustee or any 2016A Bond Owner under the Indenture; provided that the Trustee or any 2016A Bond Owner at such party’s election may appear in and defend any such suit, action or proceeding. The District shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and the 2016A Bond Owners from and against any and all liability claimed or asserted by any person, arising out of such receipt, application or disbursement, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the 2016A Bond Owners against any attorneys’ fees or other expenses which any of them may incur in connection with any litigation (including pre-litigation activities) to which any of them may become a party by reason of ownership of 2016A Bonds. The District shall promptly reimburse the Trustee and any 2016A Bond Owner in the full amount of any attorneys’ fees or other expenses which such party may incur in litigation or otherwise in order to enforce such party’s rights under the Indenture or the 2016A Bonds, provided that such litigation shall be concluded favorably to such party’s contentions therein. Section 6.13. Continuing Disclosure. The District hereby covenants and agrees that it will comply with and carry out all of its obligations under the Continuing Disclosure Certificate to be executed and delivered by the District in connection with the issuance of the 2016A Bonds. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, failure of the District to comply with the Continuing Disclosure Certificate shall not be considered an Event of Default; however, any Owner or Beneficial Owner may take such actions as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking mandate or specific performance by court order, to cause the District to comply with its obligations under this Section. For purposes of this Section, “Beneficial Owner” means any person which has or shares the power, directly or indirectly, to make investment decisions concerning ownership of any 2016A Bonds (including persons holding 2016A Bonds through nominees, depositories or other intermediaries). Section 6.14. Additional Contracts and Bonds. The District may at any time execute any Contract or issue any Bonds, as the case may be, in accordance herewith; provided: (a) The Net Revenues for any consecutive twelve calendar month period during the eighteen calendar month period preceding the date of adoption by the Board of Directors of the District of the resolution authorizing the issuance of such Bonds or the date of the execution of such Contract, as the case may be, as evidenced by a special report prepared by an Independent Certified 31 Public Accountant or Independent Financial Consultant on file with the District, shall have produced a sum equal to at least one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Debt Service for such twelve month period; and (b) The Net Revenues for any consecutive twelve calendar month period during the eighteen calendar month period preceding the date of the execution of such Contract or the date of adoption by the Board of Directors of the District of the resolution authorizing the issuance of such Bonds, as the case may be, including adjustments to give effect as of the first day of such twelve month period to increases or decreases in rates and charges for the Water Service approved and in effect as of the date of calculation, as evidenced by a special report prepared by an Independent Certified Public Accountant or Independent Financial Consultant on file with the District, shall have produced a sum equal to at least one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Debt Service for such twelve month period plus the Debt Service which would have accrued on any Contracts executed or Bonds issued since the end of such twelve month period assuming such Contracts had been executed or Bonds had been issued at the beginning of such twelve month period; and (c) The estimated Net Revenues for the then current Fiscal Year and for each Fiscal Year thereafter to and including the first complete Fiscal Year after the latest Date of Operation of any uncompleted Parity Project to be financed from proceeds of such Contracts or Bonds, as evidenced by a certificate of the General Manager of the District on file with the District, including (after giving effect to the completion of all such uncompleted Parity Projects) an allowance for estimated Net Revenues for each of such Fiscal Years arising from any increase in the income, rents, fees, rates and charges estimated to be fixed, prescribed or received for Water Service and which are economically feasible and reasonably considered necessary based on projected operations for such period, as evidenced by a certificate of the Manager on file with the District, shall produce a sum equal to at least one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the estimated Debt Service for each of such Fiscal Years, after giving effect to the execution of all Contracts and the issuance of all Bonds estimated to be required to be executed or issued to pay the costs of completing all uncompleted Parity Projects within such Fiscal Years, assuming that all such Contracts and Bonds have maturities, interest rates and proportionate principal repayment provisions similar to the Contract last executed or then being executed or the Bonds last issued or then being issued for the purpose of acquiring and constructing any of such uncompleted Parity Projects. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bonds issued or Contracts executed to refund Bonds or prepay Contracts may be delivered without satisfying the conditions set forth above if Debt Service in each Fiscal Year after the Fiscal Year in which such Bonds are issued or Contracts executed is not greater than Debt Service would have been in each such Fiscal Year prior to the issuance of such Bonds or execution of such Contracts. Section 6.15. Against Sale or Other Disposition of Property. The District will not enter into any agreement or lease which impairs the operation of the Water System or any part thereof necessary to secure adequate Revenues for the payment of the principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds, or which would otherwise impair the operation of the Water System. Any real or personal property which has become nonoperative or which is not needed for the efficient and proper operation of the Water System, or any material or equipment which has become worn out, may be sold if such sale will not impair the ability of the District to pay the principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds and if the proceeds of such sale are deposited in the Revenue Fund. 32 Nothing herein shall restrict the ability of the District to sell any portion of the Water System if such portion is immediately repurchased by the District and if such arrangement cannot by its terms result in the purchaser of such portion of the Water System exercising any remedy which would deprive the District of or otherwise interfere with its right to own and operate such portion of the Water System. Section 6.16. Against Competitive Facilities. To the extent that it can so legally obligate itself, the District covenants that it will not acquire, construct, maintain or operate and will not, to the extent permitted by law and within the scope of its powers, permit any other public or private agency, corporation, district or political subdivision or any person whomsoever to acquire, construct, maintain or operate within the District any water system competitive with the Water System. Section 6.17. Maintenance and Operation of the Water System. The District will maintain and preserve the Water System in good repair and working order at all times, operate the Water System in an efficient and economical manner and pay all Operating and Maintenance Costs as they become due and payable. Section 6.18. Payment of Claims. The District will pay and discharge any and all lawful claims for labor, materials or supplies which, if unpaid, might become a lien on the Revenues or the funds or accounts created hereunder or on any funds in the hands of the District pledged to pay the principal of or interest on the 2016A Bonds or to the Owners prior or superior to the lien under the Indenture. Section 6.19. Insurance. (a) The District will procure and maintain or cause to be procured and maintained insurance on the Water System with responsible insurers in such amounts and against such risks (including damage to or destruction of the Water System) as are usually covered in connection with facilities similar to the Water System so long as such insurance is available from reputable insurance companies. In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Water System caused by the perils covered by such insurance, the Net Proceeds thereof shall be applied to the reconstruction, repair or replacement of the damaged or destroyed portion of the Water System. The District shall begin such reconstruction, repair or replacement promptly after such damage or destruction shall occur, and shall continue and properly complete such reconstruction, repair or replacement as expeditiously as possible, and shall pay out of such Net Proceeds all costs and expenses in connection with such reconstruction, repair or replacement so that the same shall be completed and the Water System shall be free and clear of all claims and liens. If such Net Proceeds exceed the costs of such reconstruction, repair or replacement portion of the Water System, and/or the cost of the construction of additions, betterments, extensions or improvements to the Water System, then the excess Net Proceeds shall be applied in part to the redemption of 2016A Bonds as provided in Section 4.01(a) and in part to such other fund or account as may be appropriate and used for the retirement of Bonds and Contracts in the same proportion which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of 2016A Bonds then bears to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Bonds and Contracts. If such Net Proceeds are sufficient to enable the District to retire the entire obligation evidenced hereby prior to the final due date of the 2016A Bonds as well as the entire obligations evidenced by Bonds and Contracts then remaining unpaid prior to their final respective due dates, the District may elect not to reconstruct, repair or replace the damaged or 33 destroyed portion of the Water System, and/or not to construct other additions, betterments, extensions or improvements to the Water System; and thereupon such Net Proceeds shall be applied to the redemption of 2016A Bonds as provided in Section 4.01(a) and to the retirement of such Bonds and Contracts. (b) The District will procure and maintain such other insurance as it shall deem advisable or necessary to protect its interests and the interests of the 2016A Bond Owners, which insurance shall afford protection in such amounts and against such risks as are usually covered in connection with municipal water systems similar to the Water System. (c) Any insurance required to be maintained by paragraph (a) above and, if the District determines to procure and maintain insurance pursuant to paragraph (b) above, such insurance, may be maintained under a self-insurance program so long as such self-insurance is maintained in the amounts and manner usually maintained in connection with water systems similar to the Water System and is, in the opinion of an accredited actuary, actuarially sound. Section 6.20. Payment of Taxes and Compliance with Governmental Regulations. The District will pay and discharge all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges which may hereafter be lawfully imposed upon the Water System, or any part thereof or upon the Revenues when the same shall become due. The District will duly observe and conform with all valid regulations and requirements of any governmental authority relative to the operation of the Water System, or any part thereof, but the District shall not be required to comply with any regulations or requirements so long as the validity or application thereof shall be contested in good faith. Section 6.21. Amount of Rates and Charges. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the District shall fix and prescribe, at the commencement of each Fiscal Year, rates and charges for the Water Service which are reasonably expected, at the commencement of each Fiscal Year, to be at least sufficient to yield during each Fiscal Year Net Revenues equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Debt Service for such Fiscal Year. The District may make adjustments from time to time in such rates and charges and may make such classification thereof as it deems necessary, but shall not reduce the rates and charges then in effect unless the Net Revenues from such reduced rates and charges will at all times be sufficient to meet the requirements of this Section. Section 6.22. Collection of Rates and Charges. The District will have in effect at all times by-laws, rules and regulations requiring each customer to pay the rates and charges applicable to the Water Service and providing for the billing thereof and for a due date and a delinquency date for each bill. In each case where such bill remains unpaid in whole or in part after it becomes delinquent, the District may discontinue such service from the Water System, and such service shall not thereafter be recommenced except in accordance with District by-laws or rules, regulations and State law governing such situations of delinquency Section 6.23. Eminent Domain Proceeds. If all or any part of the Water System shall be taken by eminent domain proceedings, the Net Proceeds thereof shall be applied as follows: (a) If: (1) the District files with the Trustee a certificate showing: (i) the estimated loss of annual Net Revenues, if any, suffered or to be suffered by the District by reason of such eminent domain proceedings; (ii) a general description of the additions, betterments, extensions or improvements to the Water System proposed to be acquired and constructed by the District from such Net Proceeds; and (iii) an estimate of the additional annual Net Revenues to be derived from such 34 additions, betterments, extensions or improvements; and (2) the District, on the basis of such certificate filed with the Trustee, determines that the estimated additional annual Net Revenues will sufficiently offset the estimated loss of annual Net Revenues resulting from such eminent domain proceedings so that the ability of the District to meet its obligations hereunder will not be substantially impaired (which determination shall be final and conclusive), then the District shall promptly proceed with the acquisition and construction of such additions, betterments, extensions or improvements substantially in accordance with such certificate and such Net Proceeds shall be applied to the payment of the costs of such acquisition and construction, and any balance of such Net Proceeds not required by the District for such purpose shall be deposited in the Revenue Fund. (b) If the foregoing conditions are not met, then such Net Proceeds shall be applied by the District in part to the redemption of 2016A Bonds as provided in Section 4.01(a) and in part to such other fund or account as may be appropriate and used for the retirement of Bonds and Contracts in the same proportion which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of 2016A Bonds then bears to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Bonds and Contracts. Section 6.24. Enforcement of Contracts. So long as any of the 2016A Bonds are outstanding, the District will not voluntarily consent to or permit any rescission of, nor will it consent to any amendment to or otherwise take any action under or in connection with any contracts previously or hereafter entered into which contracts provide for water to be supplied to the District which consent, revision, amendment or other action will reduce the supply of water thereunder (except as provided therein), unless the Board of Directors of the District determines by resolution that such rescission or amendment would not materially adversely affect the ability of the District to pay principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds. ARTICLE VII EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES OF 2016A BOND OWNERS Section 7.01. Events of Default. The following events shall be Events of Default hereunder: (a) Default by the District in the due and punctual payment of the principal of any 2016A Bonds, the principal of any Bonds or the principal with respect to any Contract, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity as therein expressed, by proceedings for redemption, by acceleration, or otherwise. (b) Default by the District in the due and punctual payment of any installment of interest on any 2016A Bonds, any installment of interest on any Bond or any installment of interest with respect to any Contract, when and as the same shall become due and payable. (c) Default by the District in the observance of any of the other covenants, agreements or conditions on its part in the Indenture or in the 2016A Bonds, or required by any Bond or indenture relating thereto or by any Contract, if such default shall have continued for a period of sixty (60) days after written notice thereof, specifying such default and requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the District by the Trustee or by the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of 2016A Bonds Outstanding, a majority in principal amount of such Bond outstanding, or a majority in principal amount outstanding with respect to such Contract, as applicable; provided, however, that if in the reasonable opinion of the District the default stated in the notice can be corrected, but not within such sixty (60) day period and corrective action is instituted 35 by the District within such sixty (60) day period and diligently pursued in good faith until the default is corrected, such default shall not be an Event of Default hereunder. (d) The District shall file a petition or answer seeking arrangement or reorganization under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law of the United States of America or any state therein, or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall approve a petition filed with or without the consent of the District seeking arrangement or reorganization under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law of the United States of America or any state therein, or if under the provisions of any other law for the relief or aid of debtors any court of competent jurisdiction shall assume custody or control of the District or of the whole or any substantial part of its property. (e) Payment of the principal of any Bond or with respect to any Contract is accelerated in accordance with its terms. Section 7.02. Remedies Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(d) or (e) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee shall, and for any other Event of Default, the Trustee may, and, at the written direction of the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2016A Bonds at the time Outstanding, shall, in each case, upon notice in writing to the District, declare the principal of all of the 2016A Bonds then Outstanding, and the interest accrued thereon, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything in the Indenture or in the 2016A Bonds contained to the contrary notwithstanding. Nothing contained herein shall permit or require the Trustee to accelerate payments due under the Indenture if the District is not in default of its obligation hereunder. Any such declaration is subject to the condition that if, at any time after such declaration and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered, the District shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all of the principal of and installments of interest on the 2016A Bonds payment of which is overdue, with interest on such overdue principal at the rate borne by the respective 2016A Bonds to the extent permitted by law, and the reasonable charges and expenses of the Trustee, or shall deposit with the applicable trustee with respect to any Contract a sum sufficient to pay all of the principal and installments of interest with respect to such Contract payment of which is overdue, with interest on such overdue principal at the rate borne by such Contract to the extent permitted by law, and the reasonable charges and expenses of the applicable trustee with respect to such Contract, or shall deposit with the applicable trustee with respect to any Bond a sum sufficient to pay all of the principal of and installments of interest on such Bond payment of which is overdue, with interest on such overdue principal at the rate borne by such Bonds to the extent permitted by law, and the reasonable charges and expenses of the applicable trustee with respect to such Bonds, and any and all other Events of Default known to the Trustee or the applicable trustee with respect to such Contract or Bonds (other than in the payment of principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds, payment of principal and interest with respect to such Contract or payment of principal and interest on such Bond, as applicable, due and payable solely by reason of such declaration) shall have been made good or cured to the satisfaction of the Trustee, or provision deemed by the Trustee to be adequate shall have been made therefor, then, and in every such case the Trustee shall on behalf of the Owners of all of the 2016A Bonds, rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences and waive such Event of Default; but no such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Event of Default, or shall impair or exhaust any right or power consequent thereon. 36 Section 7.03. Application of Revenues and Other Funds After Default. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Revenues held or thereafter received by the Trustee and any other funds then held or thereafter received by the Trustee under any of the provisions of the Indenture (other than amounts held in the Rebate Fund) shall be applied in the following order: (a) To the payment of any expenses necessary in the opinion of the Trustee to protect the interests of the Owners of the 2016A Bonds, Contract or Bonds and payment of reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee (including reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel) incurred in and about the performance of its powers and duties under the Indenture; (b) To the payment of Operating and Maintenance Costs and Non-Operating and Maintenance Costs; (c) To the payment of the principal of and interest then due on the 2016A Bonds (upon presentation of the 2016A Bonds to be paid, and stamping or otherwise noting thereon of the payment if only partially paid, or surrender thereof if fully paid), in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, the payment of the principal and interest then due with respect to such Contract in accordance with the provisions thereof and the payment of the principal of and interest then due on such Bonds in accordance with the provisions thereof and of any indenture related thereto, in the following order of priority: First: To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of all installments of interest then due on the 2016A Bonds, with respect to such Contract or on such Bonds, as applicable, in the order of the maturity of such installments, and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full any installment or installments maturing on the same date, then to the payment thereof ratably, according to the amounts due thereon, to the persons entitled thereto, without any discrimination or preference; and Second: To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of the unpaid principal of any 2016A Bonds, principal with respect to such Contract or principal of any Bonds, as applicable, which shall have become due, whether at maturity or by acceleration or redemption, with interest on the overdue principal at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full all of the 2016A Bonds, all amounts due under such Contract or all the Bonds, as applicable, together with such interest, then to the payment thereof ratably, according to the amounts of principal due on such date to the persons entitled thereto, without any discrimination or preference; and Third: If there shall exist any remainder after the foregoing payments, such remainder shall be paid to the District. Section 7.04. Trustee to Represent 2016A Bond Owners. The Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed (and the successive respective Owners of the 2016A Bonds, by taking and holding the same, shall be conclusively deemed to have so appointed the Trustee) as trustee and true and lawful attorney in fact of the Owners of the 2016A Bonds for the purpose of exercising and prosecuting on their behalf such rights and remedies as may be available to such Owners under the provisions of the 2016A Bonds or the Indenture and applicable provisions of law. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or other occasion giving rise to a right in the Trustee to represent the 2016A Bond Owners, the Trustee in its discretion may, and upon the written request of the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2016A Bonds then Outstanding, and upon being indemnified to its satisfaction 37 therefor, shall proceed to protect or enforce its rights or the rights of such Owners by such appropriate action, suit, mandamus or other proceedings as it shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such right, at law or in equity, either for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein, or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable right or remedy vested in the Trustee or in such Owners under the 2016A Bonds or the Indenture or any law; and upon instituting such proceeding, the Trustee shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to the appointment of a receiver for the Revenues and other assets pledged under the Indenture, pending such proceedings. All rights of action under the Indenture or the 2016A Bonds or otherwise may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the 2016A Bonds or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in the name of the Trustee for the benefit and protection of all of the Owners of such 2016A Bonds, subject to the provisions of the Indenture. Section 7.05. 2016A Bond Owners’ Direction of Proceedings. Anything in the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2016A Bonds then Outstanding shall have the right, by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing executed and delivered to the Trustee, and upon indemnification of the Trustee to its reasonable satisfaction to direct the method of conduct in all remedial proceedings taken by the Trustee hereunder, provided that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of the Indenture, and that the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction which in the opinion of the Trustee would be unjustly prejudicial to 2016A Bond Owners not parties to such direction. Section 7.06. Suit by Owners. No Owner of any 2016A Bonds shall have the right to institute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity, for the protection or enforcement of any right or remedy under the Indenture with respect to such 2016A Bonds, unless: (a) such Owners shall have given to the Trustee written notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default; (b) the Owners of not less than fifty percent (50%) in aggregate principal amount of the 2016A Bonds then Outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to exercise the powers hereinbefore granted or to institute such suit, action or proceeding in its own name; (c) such Owner or Owners shall have tendered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; (d) the Trustee shall have failed to comply with such request for a period of sixty (60) days after such written request shall have been received by, and said tender of indemnity shall have been made to, the Trustee; and (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee during such sixty (60) day period by the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2016A Bonds then Outstanding. Such notification, request, tender of indemnity and refusal or omission are hereby declared, in every case, to be conditions precedent to the exercise by any Owner of 2016A Bonds of any remedy hereunder or under law; it being understood and intended that no one or more Owners of 2016A Bonds shall have any right in any manner whatever by their action to affect, disturb or prejudice the security of the Indenture or the rights of any other Owners of 2016A Bonds, or to enforce any right under the 2016A Bonds, the Indenture, or applicable law with respect to the 2016A Bonds, except in the manner herein provided, and that all proceedings at law or in equity to enforce any such right shall be instituted, had and maintained in the manner herein provided and for the benefit and protection of all Owners of the Outstanding 2016A Bonds, subject to the provisions of the Indenture. Section 7.07. Absolute Obligation of the District. Nothing in this Section 7.07 or in any other provision of the Indenture or in the 2016A Bonds shall affect or impair the obligation of the District, 38 which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds to the respective Owners of the 2016A Bonds at their respective dates of maturity, or upon call for redemption, as herein provided, but only out of the Revenues and other assets herein pledged therefor, or affect or impair the right of such Owners, which is also absolute and unconditional, to enforce such payment by virtue of the contract embodied in the 2016A Bonds. Section 7.08. Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Owners of the 2016A Bonds is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each and every such remedy, to the extent permitted by law, shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Section 7.09. No Waiver of Default. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Owner of the 2016A Bonds to exercise any right or power arising upon the occurrence of any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. ARTICLE VIII THE TRUSTEE Section 8.01. Duties, Immunities and Liabilities of Trustee. (a) The Trustee shall, prior to an Event of Default, and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, perform such duties and only such duties as are expressly and specifically set forth in the Indenture and no implied covenants or duties shall be read into the Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall, during the existence of any Event of Default (which has not been cured or waived), exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. (b) The District may remove the Trustee at any time, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, and shall remove the Trustee if at any time requested to do so by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing signed by the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2016A Bonds then Outstanding (or their attorneys duly authorized in writing) or if at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section, or shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take control or charge of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, in each case by giving written notice of such removal to the Trustee and thereupon shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by an instrument in writing. (c) The Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the District and by giving the 2016A Bond Owners notice of such resignation by mail at the addresses shown on the Registration Books. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the District shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by an instrument in writing. (d) Any removal or resignation of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee. If no 39 successor Trustee shall have been appointed and have accepted appointment within forty five (45) days of giving notice of removal or notice of resignation as aforesaid, the resigning Trustee or any 2016A Bond Owner (on behalf of himself and all other 2016A Bond Owners) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee, and such court may thereupon, after such notice (if any) as it may deem proper, appoint such successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed under the Indenture shall signify its acceptance of such appointment by executing and delivering to the District and to its predecessor Trustee a written acceptance thereof, and thereupon such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the moneys, estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such predecessor Trustee, with like effect as if originally named Trustee herein; but, nevertheless at the Written Request of the District or the request of the successor Trustee, such predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver any and all instruments of conveyance or further assurance and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all the right, title and interest of such predecessor Trustee in and to any property held by it under the Indenture and shall pay over, transfer, assign and deliver to the successor Trustee any money or other property subject to the trusts and conditions herein set forth. Upon request of the successor Trustee, the District shall execute and deliver any and all instruments as may be reasonably required for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such moneys, estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations. Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this subsection, the District shall mail or cause the successor trustee to mail a notice of the succession of such Trustee to the trusts hereunder to each rating agency which is then rating the 2016A Bonds and to the 2016A Bond Owners at the addresses shown on the Registration Books. If the District fails to mail such notice within fifteen (15) days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the District. (e) Any Trustee appointed under the provisions of this Section in succession to the Trustee shall be a trust company, banking association or bank having the powers of a trust company, having a combined capital and surplus of at least Seventy Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000), and subject to supervision or examination for federal or state authority. If such bank, banking association or trust company publishes a report of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority above referred to, then for the purpose of this subsection the combined capital and surplus of such trust company, banking association or bank shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this subsection (e), the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. Section 8.02. Merger or Consolidation. Any trust company, banking association or bank into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any trust company, banking association or bank resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which it shall be a party or any trust company, banking association or bank to which the Trustee may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust business, provided such trust company, banking association or bank shall be eligible under subsection (e) of Section 8.01, shall be the successor to such Trustee, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Section 8.03. Liability of Trustee. 40 (a) The recitals of facts herein and in the 2016A Bonds shall be taken as statements of the District, and the Trustee shall not assume responsibility for the correctness of the same, or make any representations as to the validity or sufficiency of the Indenture or the 2016A Bonds, nor shall the Trustee incur any responsibility in respect thereof, other than as expressly stated herein in connection with the respective duties or obligations herein or in the 2016A Bonds assigned to or imposed upon it. The Trustee shall, however, be responsible for its representations contained in its certificate of authentication on the 2016A Bonds. The Trustee shall not be liable in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder, except for its own negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee may become the Owner of 2016A Bonds with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, and, to the extent permitted by law, may act as depository for and permit any of its officers or directors to act as a member of, or in any other capacity with respect to, any committee formed to protect the rights of 2016A Bond Owners, whether or not such committee shall represent the Owners of a majority in principal amount of the 2016A Bonds then Outstanding. (b) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a responsible officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. (c) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Owners of not less than a majority (or such other percentage provided for herein) in aggregate principal amount of the 2016A Bonds at the time Outstanding relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under the Indenture. (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by the Indenture. (e) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any default or Event of Default hereunder or any other event which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge of such event or the Trustee shall have been notified in writing, in accordance with Section 11.07, of such event by the District or the Owners of not less than fifty percent (50%) of the 2016A Bonds then Outstanding. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance by the District of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein of any of the documents executed in connection with the 2016A Bonds, or as to the existence of an Event of Default thereunder or an event which would, with the giving of notice, the passage of time, or both, constitute an Event of Default thereunder. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the validity, effectiveness or priority of any collateral given to or held by it. (f) No provision of the Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers. (g) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Indenture at the request or direction of Owners pursuant to the Indenture, unless such Owners shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, 41 expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. No permissive power, right or remedy conferred upon the Trustee hereunder shall be construed to impose a duty to exercise such power, right or remedy. (h) Whether or not herein expressly so provided, every provision of the Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Article VIII. (i) The Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to any information, statement, or recital in any official statement, offering memorandum or any other disclosure material prepared or distributed with respect to the 2016A Bonds. (j) The immunities extended to the Trustee also extend to its directors, officers, employees and agents. (k) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers of the Indenture and perform any of its duties through attorneys, agents and receivers and shall not be answerable for the conduct of the same if appointed by it with reasonable care. (l) The Trustee shall not be considered in breach of or in default in its obligations hereunder or progress in respect thereto in the event of enforced delay (“unavoidable delay”) in the performance of such obligations due to unforeseeable causes beyond its control and without its fault or negligence, including, but not limited to, Acts of God or of the public enemy or terrorists, acts of a government, acts of the other party, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, earthquakes, explosion, mob violence, riot, inability to procure or general sabotage or rationing of labor, equipment, facilities, sources of energy, material or supplies in the open market, litigation or arbitration involving a party or others relating to zoning or other governmental action or inaction pertaining to the Water System, malicious mischief, condemnation, and unusually severe weather or delays of suppliers or subcontractors due to such causes or any similar event and/or occurrences beyond the control of the Trustee. (m) The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to the Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that the Trustee shall have received an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing specimen signatures of such designated persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the District elects to give the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The District agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties. (n) The Trustee shall not be concerned with or accountable to anyone for the subsequent use or application of any moneys which shall be released or withdrawn in accordance with the provisions hereof. 42 Section 8.04. Right to Rely on Documents. The Trustee shall be protected in acting upon any notice, resolution, requisition, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, notes, direction, facsimile transmission, electronic mail or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Trustee may consult with counsel, who may be counsel of or to the District, with regard to legal questions, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance therewith. The Trustee may treat the Owners of the 2016A Bonds appearing in the Trustee’s Registration Books as the absolute owners of the 2016A Bonds for all purposes and the Trustee shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. Whenever in the administration of the trusts imposed upon it by the Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof is specifically prescribed herein) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a Certificate, Request or Requisition of the District, and such Certificate, Request or Requisition shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken or suffered in good faith under the provisions of the Indenture in reliance upon such Certificate, Request or Requisition, but in its discretion the Trustee may, in lieu thereof, accept other evidence of such matter or may require such additional evidence as it may deem reasonable. Section 8.05. Preservation and Inspection of Documents. All documents received by the Trustee under the provisions of the Indenture shall be retained in its possession and shall be subject at all reasonable times to the inspection of the District and any 2016A Bond Owner, and their agents and representatives duly authorized in writing, at reasonable hours and under reasonable conditions. Section 8.06. Compensation and Indemnification. The District shall pay to the Trustee from time to time all reasonable compensation for all services rendered under the Indenture, and also all reasonable expenses, charges, legal and consulting fees and other disbursements and those of its attorneys, agents and employees, incurred in and about the performance of their powers and duties under the Indenture. The District shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trustee, its officers, employees, directors and agents from and against any loss, costs, claims, liability or expense (including fees and expenses of its attorneys and advisors) incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the execution of the Indenture, acceptance or administration of this trust, including costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers hereunder. The rights of the Trustee and the obligations of the District under this Section 8.06 shall survive removal or resignation of the Trustee hereunder or the discharge of the 2016A Bonds and the Indenture. ARTICLE IX MODIFICATION OR AMENDMENT OF THE INDENTURE Section 9.01. Amendments Permitted. (a) The Indenture and the rights and obligations of the District and of the Owners of the 2016A Bonds and of the Trustee may be modified or amended from time to time and at any time 43 by an indenture or indentures supplemental thereto, which the District and the Trustee may enter into when the written consent of the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all 2016A Bonds then Outstanding, exclusive of 2016A Bonds disqualified as provided in Section 11.09 hereof, shall have been filed with the Trustee. No such modification or amendment shall: (1) extend the fixed maturity of any 2016A Bonds, or reduce the amount of principal thereof or premium (if any) thereon, or extend the time of payment, or change the rate of interest or the method of computing the rate of interest thereon, or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, without the consent of the Owner of each 2016A Bond so affected; or (2) reduce the aforesaid percentage of 2016A Bonds the consent of the Owners of which is required to affect any such modification or amendment, or permit the creation of any lien on the Revenues and other assets pledged under the Indenture prior to or on a parity with the lien created by the Indenture except as permitted herein, or deprive the Owners of the 2016A Bonds of the lien created by the Indenture on such Revenues and other assets except as permitted herein, without the consent of the Owners of all of the 2016A Bonds then Outstanding. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the 2016A Bond Owners to approve the particular form of any Supplemental Indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. Promptly after the execution by the District and the Trustee of any Supplemental Indenture pursuant to this subsection (a), the Trustee shall mail a notice, setting forth in general terms the substance of such Supplemental Indenture, to each Rating Agency and the Owners of the 2016A Bonds at the respective addresses shown on the Registration Books. Any failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such Supplemental Indenture. (b) The Indenture and the rights and obligations of the District, the Trustee and the Owners of the 2016A Bonds may also be modified or amended from time to time and at any time by a Supplemental Indenture, which the District and the Trustee may enter into without the consent of any 2016A Bond Owners, if the Trustee shall receive an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that the provisions of such Supplemental Indenture shall not materially adversely affect the interests of the Owners of the Outstanding 2016A Bonds, including, without limitation, for any one or more of the following purposes: (1) to add to the covenants and agreements of the District contained in the Indenture other covenants and agreements thereafter to be observed, to pledge or assign additional security for the 2016A Bonds (or any portion thereof), or to surrender any right or power herein reserved to or conferred upon the District; (2) to make such provisions for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, inconsistency or omission, or of curing or correcting any defective provision, contained in the Indenture, or in regard to matters or questions arising under the Indenture, as the District may deem necessary or desirable; (3) to modify, amend or supplement the Indenture in such manner as to permit the qualification hereof under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or any similar federal statute in effect, and to add such other terms conditions and provisions as may be permitted by said act or similar federal statute; and (4) to modify, amend or supplement the Indenture in such manner as to cause interest on the 2016A Bonds to remain excludable from gross income under the Code. 44 (c) The Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such Supplemental Indenture authorized by subsections (a) or (b) of this Section which materially adversely affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture or otherwise. (d) Prior to the Trustee entering into any Supplemental Indenture hereunder, there shall be delivered to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel stating, in substance, that such Supplemental Indenture has been adopted in compliance with the requirements of the Indenture and that the adoption of such Supplemental Indenture will not, in and of itself, adversely affect the exclusion of interest on the 2016A Bonds from federal income taxation and from state income taxation. Section 9.02. Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of any Supplemental Indenture pursuant to this Article, the Indenture shall be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith, and the respective rights, duties and obligations under the Indenture of the District, the Trustee and all Owners of 2016A Bonds Outstanding shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced thereunder subject in all respects to such modification and amendment, and all the terms and conditions of any such Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of the Indenture for any and all purposes. Section 9.03. Endorsement of 2016A Bonds; Preparation of New 2016A Bonds. 2016A Bonds delivered after the execution of any Supplemental Indenture pursuant to this Article may, and if the Trustee so determines shall, bear a notation by endorsement or otherwise in form approved by the District and the Trustee as to any modification or amendment provided for in such Supplemental Indenture, and, in that case, upon demand on the Owner of any 2016A Bonds Outstanding at the time of such execution and presentation of his or her 2016A Bonds for the purpose at the Office of the Trustee or at such additional offices as the Trustee may select and designate for that purpose, a suitable notation shall be made on such 2016A Bonds. If the Supplemental Indenture shall so provide, new 2016A Bonds so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the District and the Trustee, to any modification or amendment contained in such Supplemental Indenture, shall be prepared and executed by the District and authenticated by the Trustee, and upon demand on the Owners of any 2016A Bonds then Outstanding shall be exchanged at the Office of the Trustee, without cost to any 2016A Bond Owner, for 2016A Bonds then Outstanding, upon surrender for cancellation of such 2016A Bonds, in equal aggregate principal amount of the same maturity. Section 9.04. Amendment of Particular 2016A Bonds. The provisions of this Article shall not prevent any 2016A Bond Owner from accepting any amendment as to the particular 2016A Bonds held by him. ARTICLE X DEFEASANCE Section 10.01. Discharge of Indenture. The 2016A Bonds may be paid by the District in any of the following ways, provided that the District also pays or causes to be paid any other sums payable hereunder by the District: (a) by paying or causing to be paid the principal of and interest and redemption premiums (if any) on the 2016A Bonds, as and when the same become due and payable; 45 (b) by depositing with the Trustee, in trust, at or before maturity, money or securities in the necessary amount (as provided in Section 10.03) to pay or redeem all 2016A Bonds then Outstanding; or (c) by delivering to the Trustee, for cancellation by it, all of the 2016A Bonds then Outstanding. If the District shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the District, then and in that case, at the election of the District (as evidenced by a Certificate of the District, filed with the Trustee, signifying the intention of the District to discharge all such indebtedness and the Indenture), and notwithstanding that any 2016A Bonds shall not have been surrendered for payment, the Indenture and the pledge of Revenues and other assets made under the Indenture and all covenants, agreements and other obligations of the District under the Indenture shall cease, terminate, become void and be completely discharged and satisfied. In such event, upon the Written Request of the District, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the District all such instruments as may be necessary or desirable to evidence such discharge and satisfaction, and the Trustee shall pay over, transfer, assign or deliver all moneys or securities or other property held by it pursuant to the Indenture which are not required for the payment or redemption of 2016A Bonds not theretofore surrendered for such payment or redemption to the District. Section 10.02. Discharge of Liability on 2016A Bonds. Upon the deposit with the Trustee, in trust, at or before maturity, of money or securities in the necessary amount (as provided in Section 10.03) to pay or redeem any Outstanding 2016A Bonds (whether upon or prior to the maturity or the Redemption Date of such 2016A Bonds), provided that, if such Outstanding 2016A Bonds are to be redeemed prior to maturity, notice of such redemption shall have been given as provided in Article IV or provisions satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made for the giving of such notice, then all liability of the District in respect of such 2016A Bonds shall cease, terminate and be completely discharged, and the Owners thereof shall thereafter be entitled only to payment out of such money or securities deposited with the Trustee as aforesaid for their payment, subject however, to the provisions of Section 10.04. The District may at any time surrender to the Trustee for cancellation by it any 2016A Bonds previously issued and delivered, which the District may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and such 2016A Bonds, upon such surrender and cancellation, shall be deemed to be paid and retired. Section 10.03. Deposit of Money or Securities with Trustee. Whenever in the Indenture it is provided or permitted that there be deposited with or held in trust by the Trustee money or securities in the necessary amount to pay or redeem any 2016A Bonds, the money or securities so to be deposited or held may include money or securities held by the Trustee in the funds and accounts established pursuant to the Indenture and shall be: (a) lawful money of the United States of America in an amount equal to the principal amount of such 2016A Bonds and all unpaid interest thereon to maturity, except that, in the case of 2016A Bonds which are to be redeemed prior to maturity and in respect of which notice of such redemption shall have been given as provided in Article IV or provisions satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made for the giving of such notice, the amount to be deposited or held shall be the principal amount of such 2016A Bonds and all unpaid interest and premium, if any, thereon to the Redemption Date; or 46 (b) Federal Securities the principal of and interest on which when due will, in the written opinion of an Independent Certified Public Accountant or Independent Financial Consultant filed with the District and the Trustee, provide money sufficient to pay the principal of and all unpaid interest to maturity, or to the Redemption Date (with premium, if any), as the case may be, on the 2016A Bonds to be paid or redeemed, as such principal, interest and premium, if any, become due, provided that in the case of 2016A Bonds which are to be redeemed prior to the maturity thereof, notice of such redemption shall have been given as provided in Article IV or provision satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made for the giving of such notice; provided, in each case, that: (i) the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed (by the terms of the Indenture or by Written Request of the District) to apply such money to the payment of such principal, interest and premium, if any, with respect to such 2016A Bonds; and (ii) the District shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel addressed to the District and the Trustee to the effect that such 2016A Bonds have been discharged in accordance with the Indenture (which opinion may rely upon and assume the accuracy of the Independent Certified Public Accountant’s or Independent Financial Consultant’s opinion referred to above). Section 10.04. Payment of 2016A Bonds After Discharge of Indenture. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Indenture, any moneys held by the Trustee in trust for the payment of the principal of, or interest on, any 2016A Bonds and remaining unclaimed for two (2) years after the principal of all of the 2016A Bonds has become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or by acceleration as provided in the Indenture), if such moneys were so held at such date, or two (2) years after the date of deposit of such moneys if deposited after said date when all of the 2016A Bonds became due and payable, shall be repaid to the District free from the trusts created by the Indenture upon receipt of an indemnification agreement acceptable to the District and the Trustee indemnifying the Trustee with respect to claims of Owners of 2016A Bonds which have not yet been paid, and all liability of the Trustee with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that before the repayment of such moneys to the District as aforesaid, the Trustee shall at the written direction of the District (at the cost of the District) first mail to the Owners of 2016A Bonds which have not yet been paid, at the addresses shown on the Registration Books, a notice, in such form as may be deemed appropriate by the Trustee with respect to the 2016A Bonds so payable and not presented and with respect to the provisions relating to the repayment to the District of the moneys held for the payment thereof. ARTICLE XI MISCELLANEOUS Section 11.01. Liability of District Limited to Revenues. Notwithstanding anything in the Indenture or the 2016A Bonds, but subject to the priority of payment with respect to Operating and Maintenance Costs and Non-Operating and Maintenance Costs, the District shall not be required to advance any moneys derived from any source other than the Revenues, the Revenue Fund and other moneys pledged under the Indenture for any of the purposes in the Indenture mentioned, whether for the payment of the principal of or interest on the 2016A Bonds or for any other purpose of the Indenture. Nevertheless, the District may, but shall not be required to, advance for any of the purposes hereof any funds of the District which may be made available to it for such purposes. The obligation of the District to make pay interest and principal on the 2016A Bonds is a special obligation of the District payable solely from the Net Revenues as provided herein, and does 47 not constitute a debt of the District or of the State of California or of any political subdivision thereof (other than the District) in contravention of any constitutional or statutory debt limitation or restriction. Section 11.02. Successor Is Deemed Included in All References to Predecessor. Whenever in the Indenture either the District or the Trustee is named or referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors or assigns thereof, and all of the covenants and agreements contained in the Indenture by or on behalf of the District or the Trustee shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns thereof whether so expressed or not. Section 11.03. Limitation of Rights to Parties and 2016A Bond Owners. Nothing in the Indenture or in the 2016A Bonds expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to give to any person other than the District, the Trustee and the Owners of the 2016A Bonds any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of the Indenture or any covenant, condition or provision therein or herein contained; and all such covenants, conditions and provisions are and shall be held to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the District, the Trustee and the Owners of the 2016A Bonds. Section 11.04. Waiver of Notice; Requirement of Mailed Notice. Whenever in the Indenture the giving of notice by mail or otherwise is required, the giving of such notice may be waived in writing by the person entitled to receive such notice and in any such case the giving or receipt of such notice shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. Whenever in the Indenture any notice shall be required to be given by mail, such requirement shall be satisfied by the deposit of such notice in the United States mail, postage prepaid, by first class mail. Section 11.05. Destruction of 2016A Bonds. Whenever in the Indenture provision is made for the cancellation by the Trustee and the delivery to the District of any 2016A Bonds, the Trustee shall destroy such 2016A Bonds as may be allowed by law, and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the District. Section 11.06. Severability of Invalid Provisions. If any one or more of the provisions contained in the Indenture or in the 2016A Bonds shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then such provision or provisions shall be deemed severable from the remaining provisions contained in the Indenture and such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of the Indenture, and the Indenture shall be construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. The District hereby declares that it would have entered into the Indenture and each and every other Section, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase hereof and authorized the issuance of the 2016A Bonds pursuant thereto irrespective of the fact that any one or more Sections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases of the Indenture may be held illegal, invalid or unenforceable. Section 11.07. Notices. Any notice to or demand upon the District or the Trustee shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or served for all purposes by being sent by facsimile or email or by being deposited, first class mail, postage prepaid, in a post office letter box, addressed, as the case may be, to the District at Yorba Linda Water District, 1717 East Miraloma Avenue, Placentia, California 92870, Attention: General Manager (or such other address as may have been filed in writing by the District with the Trustee), or to the Trustee at U.S. Bank National Association, 633 West Fifth Street, 24th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90071, Attention: Global Corporate Trust Services, Reference: Yorba Linda Water District, Series 2016A. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.07, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have received, and shall not be liable for failing to act upon the contents of, any notice unless and until the Trustee actually receives such notice. 48 Section 11.08. Evidence of Rights of 2016A Bond Owners.

Proof of the execution of any such request, consent or other instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any person of 2016A Bonds transferable by delivery, shall be sufficient for any purpose of the Indenture and shall be conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the District if made in the manner provided in this Section. The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such request, consent or other instrument or writing may be proved by the certificate of any notary public or other officer of any jurisdiction, authorized by the laws thereof to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the person signing such request, consent or other instrument acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness of such execution duly sworn to before such notary public or other officer.

In case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.

Section 11.11. Funds and Accounts. Any fund or account required by the Indenture to be established and maintained by the Trustee may be established and maintained in the accounting records of the Trustee, either as a fund or an account, and may, for the purposes of such records, any audits thereof and any reports or statements with respect thereto, be treated either as a fund or as an account; 49 but all such records with respect to all such funds and accounts shall at all times be maintained in accordance with corporate trust industry standards to the extent practicable, and with due regard for the requirements of Section 6.05(a) and for the protection of the security of the 2016A Bonds and the rights of every Owner thereof. Section 11.12. Waiver of Personal Liability. No member, officer, agent, employee, consultant or attorney of the District shall be individually or personally liable for the payment of the principal of or premium or interest on the 2016A Bonds or be subject to any personal liability or accountability by reason of the issuance thereof; but nothing herein contained shall relieve any such member, officer, agent, employee, consultant or attorney from the performance of any official duty provided by law or by the Indenture. Section 11.13. Execution in Several Counterparts. The Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original; and all such counterparts, or as many of them as the District and the Trustee shall preserve undestroyed, shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Section 11.14. CUSIP Numbers. Neither the Trustee nor the District shall be liable for any defect or inaccuracy in the CUSIP number that appears on any 2016A Bond or in any redemption notice. The Trustee may, in its discretion, include in any redemption notice a statement to the effect that the CUSIP numbers on the 2016A Bonds have been assigned by an independent service and are included in such notice solely for the convenience of the 2016A Bondholders and that neither the District nor the Trustee shall be liable for any inaccuracies in such numbers.

B. The District has determined that a portion of the proceeds of the $_____ aggregate principal amount of the Yorba Linda Water District Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2016A (the “Bonds”) issued pursuant to an Indenture of Trust, dated as of _____ 1, 2016, by and between the District and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), will be used to provide a portion of the funds to pay all regularly scheduled payments of principal and interest with respect to the 2008 Certificates on and prior to October 1, 2017, and to pay on October 1, 2017 the principal with respect to the 2008 Certificates maturing after October 1, 2017, plus interest with respect thereto accrued to such date, without premium (the “Prepayment Price”). C. The District will irrevocably deposit moneys with the Escrow Agent (as permitted by, in the manner prescribed by and all in accordance with the 2008 Trust Agreement), which moneys will be used to purchase the securities that are described on Schedule A (the “Federal Securities”). Such Federal Securities satisfy the criteria set forth in Article X of the 2008 Trust Agreement, and the principal of and interest on such Federal Securities when paid will provide money which, together with the moneys deposited with the Escrow Agent at the same time pursuant to this Agreement, will be fully sufficient to pay and discharge the 2008 Certificates. AGREEMENT SECTION 1. Deposit of Moneys. The District hereby instructs the Escrow Agent to deposit $_____ received from the Trustee from the net proceeds of the Bonds in the Escrow Fund established hereunder. The District hereby further instructs the 2008 Trustee to transfer to the Escrow Agent $_____, constituting certain amounts on deposit in the funds and accounts established under the 2008 Trust Agreement, which amount the District instructs the Escrow Agent to deposit in the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Agent shall hold all such amounts in irrevocable escrow separate and apart from other funds of the District and the Escrow Agent in a fund hereby created and established to be known as the “Escrow Fund” and to be applied solely as provided in this Agreement. The District 2 represents that the moneys set forth above are at least equal to an amount sufficient to purchase the Federal Securities listed on Schedule A, and to hold $_____ uninvested as cash. SECTION 2. Investment of Moneys. The Escrow Agent acknowledges receipt of the moneys described in Section 1 and agrees immediately to invest such moneys in the Federal Securities listed on Schedule A and to deposit such Federal Securities in the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the conclusion of Grant Thornton LLP, Minneapolis, Minnesota (the “Verification Agent”), that the Federal Securities listed on Schedule A mature and bear interest payable in such amounts and at such times as, together with cash on deposit in the Escrow Fund, will be sufficient to pay when due all regularly scheduled payments of principal and interest with respect to the 2008 Certificates on and prior to October 1, 2017, and to pay on October 1, 2017 the Prepayment Price (as such term is defined in the 2008 Trust Agreement) of the 2008 Certificates maturing after October 1, 2017.

The determination of the District as to whether an accountant qualifies under this Escrow Agreement shall be conclusive. SECTION 4. Substitution of Securities. Upon the written request of the District, and subject to the conditions and limitations herein set forth and applicable governmental rules and regulations, the Escrow Agent shall sell, redeem or otherwise dispose of the Federal Securities, provided that there are substituted therefor from the proceeds of the Federal Securities other Federal Securities, but only after the District has obtained and delivered to the Escrow Agent: (i) an unqualified opinion of Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, a Professional Corporation, to the effect that the substitution of securities is permitted under the legal documents in effect with respect to the 2008 Certificates and that such reinvestment will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of the interest portion of the Installment Payments or interest with respect to the Bonds; and (ii) a report by a firm of independent certified public accountants to 3 the effect that the reinvestment described in said report will not adversely affect the sufficiency of the amounts of securities, investments and money in the Escrow Fund to pay when due all regularly scheduled payments of principal and interest with respect to the 2008 Certificates on and prior to October 1, 2017, and to pay on October 1, 2017 the Prepayment Price of the 2008 Certificates maturing after October 1, 2017.

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Summary Statement have the meanings ascribed to them in this Official Statement. Purpose. The 2016A Bonds are being issued to provide funds: (i) to advance refund all of the currently outstanding Yorba Linda Water District Revenue Certificates of Participation (2008 Capital Improvement Projects) Series 2008; and (ii) to pay costs of issuance of the 2016A Bonds.

The 2016A Bonds are limited obligations of the District payable solely from Revenues of the District’s Water System remaining after payment of Operating and Maintenance Costs and Non-Operating and Maintenance Costs, and from amounts on deposit in certain funds and accounts created under the Indenture. The obligation of the District to pay principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds is payable first, from Ad Valorem Tax Revenues remaining after payment of Operating and Maintenance Costs and Non-Operating and Maintenance Costs, if any, and, to the extent that such amounts are insufficient, next from other Net Revenues of the District’s Water System. The obligation of the District to pay principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds is payable on a parity with payments with respect to approximately $7,230,000 aggregate principal amount of the Yorba Linda Water District Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2012A. The District may incur additional obligations payable on a parity with the obligation to pay principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds in the future as described herein. The obligation of the District to pay principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds pursuant to the Indenture does not constitute an obligation for which the District is obligated to levy or pledge any form of taxation or for which the District has levied or pledged any form of taxation. The obligation of the District to pay principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds is a special obligation of the District payable solely from the sources described herein, and does not constitute a debt of the District or of the State of California or any political subdivision thereof in contravention of any constitutional or statutory debt limitation or restriction. See the caption “SECURITY FOR THE 2016A BONDS.” The Refunding Plan. A portion of the proceeds of the 2016A Bonds will be transferred to U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee with respect to the Series 2008 Certificates.

The Indenture requires the District, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to fix and prescribe, at the commencement of each Fiscal Year, rates and charges for the Water Service which are reasonably expected, at the commencement of each Fiscal Year, to be at least sufficient to yield during each Fiscal Year Net Revenues equal to 125% of the Debt Service for such Fiscal Year. The District may make adjustments from time to time in such rates and charges and may make such classification thereof as it deems necessary, but will not reduce the rates and charges then in effect unless the Net Revenues from such reduced rates and charges will at all times be sufficient to meet the foregoing requirements. See the caption “SECURITY FOR THE 2016A BONDS—Rate Covenant.” Additional Contracts and Bonds Test. The Indenture permits the District to execute any Contracts or issue any Bonds on a parity with the obligation to pay principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds, provided ii that certain conditions are satisfied as described herein.

The District was established in 1959 as a county water district under the County Water District Law, Division 12 of the Water Code of the State of California, as the successor to a private water company that was incorporated in or about 1909, for purposes of supplying water for domestic, irrigation, sanitation, industrial, commercial, recreation and fire suppression use. The District is located in the northeastern portion of Orange County approximately 35 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles and 11 miles north of Santa Ana, the county seat of the County. The District includes approximately 14,475 acres of land comprising 23.7 square miles. The District serves a population of approximately 78,539 and currently provides water services to approximately 24,800 residential, commercial, irrigation and other connections. In addition, the District provides wastewater service to a portion of the District. However, no revenues from the District’s wastewater system are pledged to the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the 2016A Bonds. Approximately 94% of the operating revenues of the District for Fiscal Year 2016 were attributable to the Water System. The District service area lies within most of the City of Yorba Linda and portions of the cities of Anaheim, Brea and Placentia, including certain unincorporated areas of the County. The service area of the District is bounded by the City of Placentia on the west, the City of Brea on the northwest, the City of Anaheim on the south, the County/San Bernardino County line on the east and the Chino Hills State Park on the north. See the caption “YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT.” The District currently has two primary sources of water: (i) groundwater pumped from local wells; and (ii) imported water purchased from the Municipal Water District of Orange County delivered from The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. See the caption “WATER SUPPLY.” 1 $___________* YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT REFUNDING REVENUE BONDS, SERIES 2016A INTRODUCTION This Official Statement, including the front cover page, the inside front cover page and the appendices, provides certain information concerning the sale and delivery of the Yorba Linda Water District Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2016A (the “2016A Bonds”). The 2016A Bonds are being issued pursuant to an Indenture of Trust, dated as of _____ 1, 2016 (the “Indenture”), by and between the Yorba Linda Water District (the “District”) and U.S. Bank National Association, Los Angeles, California, as trustee (the “Trustee”). Descriptions and summaries of various documents set forth in this Official Statement do not purport to be comprehensive or definitive, and reference is made to each document for complete details of all terms and conditions. All statements herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to each document. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in Appendix B. The 2016A Bonds are being issued to provide funds: (i) to advance refund all of the currently outstanding Yorba Linda Water District Revenue Certificates of Participation (2008 Capital Improvement Projects) Series 2008 (the “Series 2008 Certificates”); and (ii) to pay costs of issuance of the 2016A Bonds. See the captions “REFUNDING PLAN” and “ESTIMATED SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS.” The 2016A Bonds are limited obligations of the District payable solely from Net Revenues, which consist of Revenues of the District’s Water System remaining after payment of Operating and Maintenance Costs and Non-Operating and Maintenance Costs (as such terms are defined in Appendix B), and from amounts on deposit in certain funds and accounts created under the Indenture. The obligation of the District to pay principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds is payable first from Ad Valorem Tax Revenues remaining after payment of Operating and Maintenance Costs and Non-Operating and Maintenance Costs, if any, and, to the extent that such amounts are insufficient, next from other Net Revenues of the District’s Water System. The obligation of the District to pay principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds is payable on a parity with approximately $7,230,000 aggregate principal amount of the Yorba Linda Water District Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2012A (the “2012A Bonds”). See the caption “YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT—Outstanding Obligations.” The District may incur additional obligations payable on a parity with the obligation to pay principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds in the future as described herein. See the caption “SECURITY FOR THE 2016A BONDS—Additional District Indebtedness.” Copies of the Indenture and all documents, statutes, reports and other instruments referred to herein are available for inspection at the offices of the District in Placentia, California and will be available from the Trustee upon request and payment of duplication cost. Unless otherwise indicated, all financial and statistical information herein has been provided by the District. The District regularly prepares a variety of reports, including audits, budgets and related documents. Any registered owner of the 2016A Bonds (each, an “Owner”) may obtain a copy of such report, as available, from the District. Additional information regarding the Official Statement may be obtained by contacting Yorba Linda Water District, 1717 East Miraloma Avenue, Placentia, California 92870, Attention: General Manager. The District has also undertaken to provide annual reports to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board’s Electronic Municipal Market Access System (“EMMA”) pursuant to a continuing disclosure certificate. See the caption “CONTINUING DISCLOSURE UNDERTAKING.” * Preliminary; subject to change. 2 REFUNDING PLAN Series 2008 Certificates The District caused the execution and delivery of the Series 2008 Certificates, which are currently outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of $29,070,000, pursuant to a Trust Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2008 (the “2008 Trust Agreement”), by and among the District, Yorba Linda Water District Public Financing Corporation (the “Corporation”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “2008 Trustee”). The Series 2008 Certificates are payable from installment payments made under the Installment Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2008 (the “2008 Installment Purchase Agreement”), by and between the District and the Corporation. The District plans to apply a portion of the proceeds of the 2016A Bonds to effect an advance refunding of the Series 2008 Certificates. Under an Escrow Agreement (2008 Certificates), dated as of _____ 1, 2016 (the “2008 Escrow Agreement”), by and between the District and the 2008 Trustee, the District will deliver a portion of the proceeds of the 2016A Bonds, together with amounts on deposit for the Series 2008 Certificates, to the 2008 Trustee for deposit in the escrow fund established under the 2008 Escrow Agreement (the “2008 Escrow Fund”). The 2008 Trustee will invest a portion of the amounts deposited in the 2008 Escrow Fund in Federal Securities as set forth in the 2008 Escrow Agreement. From the maturing principal of the Federal Securities and related investment income and other moneys on deposit in the 2008 Escrow Fund, the 2008 Trustee will pay when due all regularly scheduled payments of interest and principal with respect to the Series 2008 Certificates on and prior to October 1, 2017, and pay on October 1, 2017 the principal of the Series 2008 Certificates maturing after October 1, 2017, plus interest accrued to such date, without premium. Sufficiency of the deposits in the 2008 Escrow Fund for such purposes will be verified by Grant Thornton LLP, Minneapolis, Minnesota (the “Verification Agent”). Assuming the accuracy of such computations, as a result of the deposit and application of funds as provided in the 2008 Escrow Agreement, the Series 2008 Certificates will be defeased pursuant to the provisions of the 2008 Installment Purchase Agreement and the 2008 Trust Agreement under which the Series 2008 Certificates were delivered, as of the date of issuance of the 2016A Bonds. The amounts held and invested by the 2008 Trustee in the 2008 Escrow Fund are pledged solely to the payment of the Series 2008 Certificates. Neither the funds deposited in the 2008 Escrow Fund nor the interest on the invested funds will be available for the payments of principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds. Verification Upon issuance of the 2016A Bonds, the Verification Agent will deliver a report on the mathematical accuracy of certain computations based upon certain information and assertions provided to them by the Underwriter relating to: (a) the adequacy of the maturing principal of and interest on the Federal Securities to pay when due all interest and principal with respect to the Series 2008 Certificates on and prior to the prepayment thereof and to pay the prepayment price of the Series 2008 Certificates on October 1, 2017; and (b) the computations of yield of the 2016A Bonds and the Federal Securities which support Bond Counsel’s opinion that the interest on the 2016A Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. THE 2016A BONDS General Provisions The 2016A Bonds will be issued in the aggregate principal amount of $___________.* The 2016A Bonds will be dated as of the date of initial issuance thereof (the “Issuance Date”), will bear interest from such * Preliminary; subject to change. 3 date at the rates per annum set forth on the inside cover page hereof, payable on _____ 1, 201__ and each April 1 and October 1 thereafter (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), and will mature on the dates set forth on the inside cover page hereof.

Interest on any 2016A Bond will be payable from the Interest Payment Date preceding the date of issuance thereof, unless such date is after a Record Date and on or before the succeeding Interest Payment Date, in which case interest thereon will be payable from such Interest Payment Date, or unless such date is on or before September 15, 2016, in which case interest thereon will be payable from the Issuance Date. Transfers and Exchanges Upon Termination of Book-Entry Only System In the event that the book-entry system described herein is abandoned, the 2016A Bonds will be printed and delivered as provided in the Indenture. Thereafter, any 2016A Bond may, in accordance with its terms, be transferred on the Registration Books by the person in whose name it is registered, in person or by his or her duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of such 2016A Bond at the Office of the Trustee for cancellation, accompanied by delivery of a written instrument of transfer, duly executed in a form acceptable to the Trustee. The Trustee is not required to register the transfer of any 2016A Bond during the period in which the Trustee is selecting 2016A Bonds for redemption and any 2016A Bond that has been selected for redemption. Whenever any 2016A Bond or 2016A Bonds is surrendered for transfer, the District will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver a new 2016A Bond or 2016A Bonds of authorized denomination or denominations for a like series and aggregate principal amount of the same maturity. The Trustee will require the 2016A Bond Owner requesting such transfer to pay any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer. Following any transfer of 2016A Bonds, the Trustee will cancel and destroy the 2016A Bonds it has received. 2016A Bonds may be exchanged at the Office of the Trustee for a like aggregate principal amount of other authorized denominations of the same series and maturity. The Trustee is not required to exchange any 2016A Bond during the period in which the Trustee is selecting 2016A Bonds for redemption or any 2016A Bond that has been selected for redemption. The Trustee will require the 2016A Bond Owner requesting such exchange to pay any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange. 4 Following any exchange of 2016A Bonds, the Trustee will cancel and destroy the 2016A Bonds that it has received. Redemption of the 2016A Bonds Optional Redemption. The 2016A Bonds maturing on or after October 1, 20__ are subject to redemption prior to their respective stated maturities or mandatory sinking fund payment dates, as a whole or in part on ___ 1, 20__ or any date thereafter in the order of maturity as directed by the District in a Written Request provided to the Trustee at least 35 days (or such lesser number of days acceptable to the Trustee in the sole discretion of the Trustee, such notice for the convenience of the Trustee) prior to such date and by lot within each maturity or mandatory sinking fund payment date in integral multiples of $5,000, at a Redemption Price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption, without premium. Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption. The 2016A Bonds with stated maturities on October 1, 20__ are subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption in part (by lot) on each October 1 on and after October 1, 20__, in integral multiples of $5,000 at a Redemption Price of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, without premium, in accordance with the following schedule: Redemption Date (October 1) Principal Amount 20__ $ 20__* * Final Maturity. Extraordinary Redemption. The 2016A Bonds are subject to extraordinary redemption prior to their respective stated maturities, as a whole or in part on any date in the order of maturity and within maturities as directed by the District in a Written Request provided to the Trustee at least 35 days (or such lesser number of days acceptable to the Trustee in the sole discretion of the Trustee, such notice for the convenience of the Trustee) prior to such date in integral multiples of $5,000 from Net Proceeds, upon the terms and conditions of, and as provided for in, the Indenture, at a Redemption Price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption, without premium. See Appendix B under the captions “PARTICULAR COVENANTS—Insurance” and “PARTICULAR COVENANTS—Eminent Domain Proceeds,” respectively, for a description of the circumstances under which the 2016A Bonds could be subject to extraordinary redemption from Net Proceeds of insurance or condemnation. Notice of Redemption When redemption is authorized or required, the Trustee will give notice to the Owners of the 2016A Bonds designated for redemption. Notice of redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 20 days but not more than 60 days before any Redemption Date, to the respective Owners of any 2016A Bonds designated for redemption at their addresses appearing on the Registration Books, to the Securities Depositories and the Information Services. Each notice of redemption will state the date of notice, the Redemption Date, the place or places of redemption and the Redemption Price, will designate the maturities, CUSIP numbers, if any, and, if less than all 2016A Bonds of any such maturity are to be redeemed, the serial numbers of the 2016A Bonds of such maturity to be redeemed by giving the individual number of each 2016A Bond or by stating that all 2016A Bonds between two stated numbers, both inclusive, have been called for redemption and, in the case of 2016A Bonds to be redeemed in part only, the respective portions of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Each such notice will also state that on the Redemption Date there will become due and payable on each of said 2016A Bonds or parts thereof designated for redemption the Redemption Price thereof or of said specified portion of the principal thereof in the case of a 2016A Bond to be redeemed in part only, together with interest accrued 5 thereon to the Redemption Date, and that (provided that moneys for redemption have been deposited with the Trustee) from and after such Redemption Date interest thereon ceases to accrue, and will require that such 2016A Bonds be then surrendered to the Trustee. Neither the failure to receive such notice nor any defect in the notice or the mailing thereof will affect the validity of the redemption of any 2016A Bond. Notice of redemption of 2016A Bonds will be given by the Trustee, at the expense of the District, for and on behalf of the District. With respect to any notice of optional redemption of 2016A Bonds, such notice will state that such redemption will be conditional upon the receipt by the Trustee on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption of moneys sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such 2016A Bonds to be redeemed and that, if such moneys have not been so received, said notice will be of no force and effect and the Trustee will not be required to redeem such 2016A Bonds. In the event that such notice of redemption contains such a condition and such moneys are not so received, the redemption will not be made, and the Trustee will within a reasonable time thereafter give notice, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such moneys were not so received. Book-Entry Only System One fully-registered 2016A Bond of each maturity will be issued in the principal amount of the 2016A Bonds of such maturity. Such 2016A Bond will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. and will be deposited with DTC. The District may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, the 2016A Bonds will be printed and delivered and will be governed by the provisions of the Indenture with respect to payment of principal and interest and rights of exchange and transfer. The District cannot and does not give any assurances that DTC participants or others will distribute payments of principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds received by DTC or its nominee as the registered Owner, or any redemption or other notices, to the Beneficial Owners, that they will do so on a timely basis or that DTC will service and act in the manner described in this Official Statement. See Appendix D for additional information concerning DTC. 6 DEBT SERVICE PAYMENT SCHEDULE Set forth below is a schedule of principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds and the 2012A Bonds for the period ending June 30 in each of the years indicated: 2016A Bonds Period Ending June 30 2016A Bonds Principal 2016A Bonds Interest 2016A Bonds Total 2012A Bonds(1) Total 2017 $ 588,487.50 2018 588,312.50 2019 591,212.50 2020 583,712.50 2021 590,712.50 2022 586,250.00 2023 585,387.50 2024 582,912.50 2025 583,662.50 2026 583,412.50 2027 587,037.50 2028 584,537.50 2029 581,037.50 2030 583,937.50 2031 585,962.50 2032 584,987.50 2033 587,787.50 2034 584,343.75 2035 - 2036 - 2037 - 2038 - TOTAL $ 10,543,693.75 (1) Includes principal of and interest on the 2012A Bonds. See the caption “YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT—Outstanding Obligations—Parity Obligations.” Source: Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates. SECURITY FOR THE 2016A BONDS Limited Obligations Payable From Net Revenues The District is obligated to make payments of principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds solely from Net Revenues of the District’s Water System. The term “Net Revenues” means, for any fiscal year of the District ending June 30 (each, a “Fiscal Year”), the Revenues for such Fiscal Year less Operating and Maintenance Costs and Non-Operating and Maintenance Costs for such Fiscal Year. The obligation of the District to pay principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds is payable first from Ad Valorem Tax Revenues remaining after payment of Operating and Maintenance Costs and Non-Operating and Maintenance Costs, if any, and, to the extent that such amounts are insufficient, next from other Net Revenues of the District’s Water System. The obligation to make payments of principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds is payable from Net Revenues on a parity with the obligation of the District to make payments on the 2012A Bonds, which are currently outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $7,230,000. See Appendix B for the definitions of Revenues, Operating and Maintenance Costs and Non-Operating and Maintenance Costs. See the caption “YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT—Outstanding Obligations” for a discussion of the 2012A Bonds. THE OBLIGATION OF THE DISTRICT TO PAY PRINCIPAL OF AND INTEREST ON THE 2016A BONDS PURSUANT TO THE INDENTURE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OBLIGATION FOR WHICH THE DISTRICT IS OBLIGATED TO LEVY OR PLEDGE ANY FORM OF TAXATION OR FOR WHICH IT HAS LEVIED OR PLEDGED ANY FORM OF TAXATION. THE OBLIGATION OF THE DISTRICT TO 7 PAY PRINCIPAL OF AND INTEREST ON THE 2016A BONDS IS A SPECIAL OBLIGATION OF THE DISTRICT PAYABLE SOLELY FROM SOURCES DESCRIBED HEREIN, AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A DEBT OF THE DISTRICT OR OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA (the “State”) OR OF ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF IN CONTRAVENTION OF ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY DEBT LIMITATION OR RESTRICTION. Rate Covenant The Indenture requires the District, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to fix and prescribe, at the commencement of each Fiscal Year, rates and charges for the Water Service which are reasonably expected, at the commencement of each Fiscal Year, to be at least sufficient to yield during each Fiscal Year Net Revenues equal to 125% of the Debt Service for such Fiscal Year. The District may make adjustments from time to time in such rates and charges and may make such classification thereof as it deems necessary, but will not reduce the rates and charges then in effect unless the Net Revenues from such reduced rates and charges will at all times be sufficient to meet the foregoing requirements. Additional Indebtedness The District may at any time execute any Contract or issue any Bonds, as the case may be, payable from Net Revenues on a parity with the 2016A Bonds and secured by a pledge of and lien on Revenues as described in the Indenture, provided that: (a) The Net Revenues for any consecutive twelve calendar month period during the eighteen calendar month period preceding the date of adoption by the Board of Directors of the District (the “Board”) of the resolution authorizing the issuance of such Bonds or the date of the execution of such Contract, as the case may be, as evidenced by a special report prepared by an Independent Certified Public Accountant or Independent Financial Consultant on file with the District, produces a sum equal to at least 125% of the Debt Service for such twelve month period; and (b) The Net Revenues for any consecutive twelve calendar month period during the eighteen calendar month period preceding the date of the execution of such Contract or the date of adoption by the Board of the resolution authorizing the issuance of such Bonds, as the case may be, including adjustments to give effect as of the first day of such twelve month period to increases or decreases in rates and charges for the Water Service approved and in effect as of the date of calculation, as evidenced by a special report prepared by an Independent Certified Public Accountant or Independent Financial Consultant on file with the District, produces a sum equal to at least 125% of the Debt Service for such twelve month period plus the Debt Service which would have accrued on any Contracts executed or Bonds issued since the end of such twelve month period assuming such Contracts had been executed or Bonds had been issued at the beginning of such twelve month period; and (c) The estimated Net Revenues for the then current Fiscal Year and for each Fiscal Year thereafter to and including the first complete Fiscal Year after the latest Date of Operation of any uncompleted Parity Project to be financed from proceeds of such Contracts or Bonds, as evidenced by a certificate of the General Manager of the District on file with the District, including (after giving effect to the completion of all such uncompleted Parity Projects) an allowance for estimated Net Revenues for each of such Fiscal Years arising from any increase in the income, rents, fees, rates and charges estimated to be fixed, prescribed or received for Water Service and which are economically feasible and reasonably considered necessary based on projected operations for such period, as evidenced by a certificate of the Manager on file with the District, will produce a sum equal to at least 125% of the estimated Debt Service for each of such Fiscal Years, after giving effect to the execution of all Contracts and the issuance of all Bonds estimated to be required to be executed or issued to pay the costs of completing all uncompleted Parity Projects within such Fiscal Years, assuming that all such Contracts and Bonds have maturities, interest rates and proportionate principal repayment provisions similar to 8 the Contract last executed or then being executed or the Bonds last issued or then being issued for the purpose of acquiring and constructing any of such uncompleted Parity Projects. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bonds issued or Contracts executed to refund Bonds or prepay Contracts may be delivered without satisfying the conditions set forth above if Debt Service in each Fiscal Year after the Fiscal Year in which such Bonds are issued or Contracts executed is not greater than Debt Service would have been in each such Fiscal Year prior to the issuance of such Bonds or execution of such Contracts. The 2016A Bonds are being issued on a parity with the 2012A Bonds under provisions of the indenture pursuant to which the 2012A Bonds were issued that are substantially similar to those set forth above. No Reserve Fund No reserve fund has been established in connection with the issuance of the 2016A Bonds. ESTIMATED SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS The following table sets forth the estimated sources and uses of funds for the 2016A Bonds: Sources(1): Principal Amount $ Plus/Less Net Original Issue Premium/Discount Transferred Moneys(2) Total Sources $ Uses(1): 2008 Escrow Fund $ Costs of Issuance(3) Total Uses $ (1) Rounded to the nearest dollar.

YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT General The District was established in 1959 as a county water district under the County Water District Law, Division 12 of the Water Code of the State of California, as the successor to a private water company that was incorporated in or about 1909, for purposes of supplying water for domestic, irrigation, sanitation, industrial, commercial, recreation and fire suppression use. The District is located in the northeastern portion of Orange County (the “County”) approximately 35 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles and 11 miles north of Santa Ana, the county seat of the County. The District includes approximately 14,475 acres of land comprising 23.7 square miles. The District serves a population of approximately 78,539 and currently provides water services to approximately 24,800 residential, commercial, irrigation and other connections. In addition, the District provides wastewater service to a portion of the District. However, no revenues from the District’s wastewater system are pledged to the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the 2016A Bonds. Approximately 94% of the operating revenues of the District for Fiscal Year 2016 were attributable to the Water System. The District service area lies within most of the City of Yorba Linda and portions of the cities of Anaheim, Brea and Placentia, including certain unincorporated areas of the County. The service area of the 9 District is bounded by the City of Placentia on the west, the City of Brea on the northwest, the City of Anaheim on the south, the County/San Bernardino County line on the east and the Chino Hills State Park on the north. The District currently has two primary sources of water: (i) groundwater pumped from local wells; and (ii) imported water purchased from the Municipal Water District of Orange County (“MWDOC”) and delivered by The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (“MWD”). See the caption “WATER SUPPLY.” Prior to May 2014, approximately 26% of the District’s service area was outside of the boundaries of the Orange County Water District (“OCWD”), the agency responsible for managing the Orange County Groundwater Basin. See the caption “WATER SUPPLY—General—Groundwater.” In May 2014, the District’s application to annex such portions of the District’s service area into OCWD was approved. It is anticipated that the annexation will ultimately allow the District to pump a higher percentage of its water supply from the Orange County Groundwater Basin at a lower cost than purchasing the same amount of water from MWDOC, thereby reducing the District’s dependence on drought-sensitive imported water from northern California and the Colorado River. The District expects to be able to take full advantage of the annexation of its entire service area into OCWD by approximately 2019. Currently, the District’s ability to pump water up to the basin production percentage set by OCWD (as described under the caption “WATER SUPPLY—General—Groundwater”) is limited by infrastructure limitations (as discussed in the following paragraph) and by MWD’s Conjunctive Use Program Agreement (the “CUP”), which requires the District to withdraw water in excess of the basin production percentage and to pay for such water at current imported water rates after subtracting power and operations and maintenance charges. The CUP authorizes MWD to compel the District to extract water from the Orange County Groundwater Basin in times of drought when MWD’s traditional sources (including the Colorado River and northern California supplies) are less plentiful. As described under the caption “THE WATER SYSTEM—Future Water System Improvements,” the District’s capital improvement program includes the construction of pumping, pipeline and well facilities over the next three years that will make it possible for the District to access its full allotment of groundwater. Land and Land Use The District currently includes approximately 14,475 acres of land. Land use within the District consists primarily of residential and small commercial uses. Currently, there are no heavy industrial or manufacturing uses within the District’s boundaries. There are several light industrial and commercial centers located mainly in the northwestern, southern and southeastern portions of the District. Governance and Management The District is governed by a 5-member Board of the Directors (the “Board”), the members of which are elected at large by the registered voters in the District to staggered 4-year terms. The current Board members, the expiration dates of their terms and their occupations are set forth below. Board of Directors Member Expiration of Term Occupation Ric Collett, President November 2016 Retired Waste Management Industry Manager Michael J. Beverage, Vice President November 2016 Advertising and Marketing Consultant Phil Hawkins, Director November 2018 Real Estate Broker Bob Kiley, Director November 2018 Small Business Owner Gary Melton, Director November 2018 Restaurant Owner A local community activist group has placed on the November 2016 ballot a proposal to recall two Board members, Messrs. Kiley and Melton. Based on press reports, the recall petition sponsors object to the 10 District’s rate structure, among other things. The sponsors include the named plaintiffs in the legal action related to the District’s rate structure that is described under the caption “LITIGATION—Challenge to Rate Restructuring.” Day-to-day management of the District is delegated to the General Manager, Marc Marcantonio. Mr. Marcantonio has served as the District’s General Manager since September 2014. He is responsible for the daily operations of the District and for ensuring that policies established by the Board are followed and goals and objectives of the Board are carried out. Prior to his appointment as General Manager, Mr. Marcantonio served as General Manager of the Mt. View-Edgewood Water Company in Washington State and as President of the Regional Water Cooperative of Pierce County, an association of 25 water and wastewater agencies in the greater Seattle area. Mr. Marcantonio retired from the United States Army as a Lieutenant Colonel after 23 years of active duty, including 20 years with the California National Guard. Delia Lugo is the Finance Manager of the District. Ms. Lugo was named Finance Manager in 2013 and manages the Finance Department, which consists of the Accounting, Customer Service and Meter Reading sections. Prior to being named Finance Manager, Ms. Lugo served as Senior Accountant for the District. Ms. Lugo has a Bachelor of Arts degree from California State University, Fullerton, with an emphasis in Financial Management. Employees and Employee Benefits General. As of June 30, 2016, the District had 77 full-time equivalent employees, including 6 employees in the Administration Department, 10 employees in the Engineering Department, 12 employees in the Finance Department, 6 employees in the Human Resources Department, 5 employees in the Information Technology Department and 38 employees in the Operations Department. Non-management and non-supervisory employees of the District are represented by the Yorba Linda Water District Employees Association (the “Association”). The current memorandum of understanding between the District and the Association expires on June 30, 2018. The District has not experienced any strikes or other labor actions. Of the total District employment, approximately 89% of the associated costs are chargeable to the Water System. Pension Benefits. This caption contains certain information relating to the California Public Employees Retirement System (“CalPERS”). The information is primarily derived from information produced by CalPERS, its independent accountants and its actuaries. The District has not independently verified the information provided by CalPERS and makes no representations nor expresses any opinion as to the accuracy of the information provided by CalPERS. The comprehensive annual financial reports of CalPERS are available on its Internet website at www.calpers.ca.gov. The CalPERS website also contains CalPERS’ most recent actuarial valuation reports and other information concerning benefits and other matters. The textual reference to such Internet website is provided for convenience only. None of the information on such Internet website is incorporated by reference herein. The District cannot guarantee the accuracy of such information. Actuarial assessments are “forward-looking” statements that reflect the judgment of the fiduciaries of the pension plans, and are based upon a variety of assumptions, one or more of which may not materialize or be changed in the future. The District participates in the 2.0% at 55, 2.0% at 60 and 2.0% at 62 CalPERS Risk Pools, which are cost sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plans. CalPERS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. CalPERS acts as a common investment and administrative agent for participating public entities within the State. Benefit provisions and all other requirements are established by State statute and District ordinance. The contribution rate for plan members in the CalPERS 2.0% at 55 Risk Pool Retirement Plan (those District employees who were hired prior to December 22, 2011) is 7% of their annual covered salary. Employees in the 2.0% at 55 plan make the full amount of the required contributions themselves. 11 District employees who were hired on and after December 22, 2011 and prior to January 1, 2013 participate in the 2.0% at 60 Risk Pool Retirement Plan at a contribution rate of 7% of their annual covered salary. Employees in the 2.0% at 60 plan make the full amount of the required contributions themselves. District employees who were hired on and after January 1, 2013 participate in the District’s 2.0% at 62 Risk Pool Retirement Plan; such employees are required to make the full amount of required contributions themselves under the California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (“AB 340”), which was signed by the State Governor on September 12, 2012. AB 340 established a new pension tier (2.0% at 62 formula) with a maximum benefit formula of 2.5% at age 67. Benefits for such participants are calculated on the highest average annual compensation over a consecutive 36 month period. Employees are required to pay at least 50% of the total normal cost rate. AB 340 also caps pensionable income for 2016 at $117,020 ($140,424 for employees not enrolled in Social Security) subject to Consumer Price Index increases and prohibits retroactive benefits increases, generally prohibiting contribution holidays and purchases of additional non-qualified service credit. CalPERS estimates savings for local agency plans as a result of AB 340 of approximately $1.653 billion to $2.355 billion over the next 30 years, primarily due to increased employee contributions and, as the workforce turns over, lower benefit formulas that will gradually reduce normal costs. Savings specific to the District have not been quantified. Provisions in AB 340 will not likely have a material effect on District contributions in the short term. However, additional employee contributions, limits on pensionable compensation and higher retirement ages for new members will reduce the District’s unfunded pension lability and potentially reduce District contribution levels in the long term. The District is also required to contribute the actuarially determined remaining amounts necessary to fund the benefits for its members. The required employer contribution rates for Fiscal Year 2016 were 8.512% for the 2.0% at 55 plan, 7.163% for the 2.0% at 60 plan and 6.237% for the 2.0% at 62 plan. The contribution requirements of the plan members are established by State statute, and the employer contribution rate is established and may be amended by CalPERS. For Fiscal Years 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the District’s combined annual employer’s contributions for all of its CalPERS plans were $674,827, $587,176, $537,843 and $505,243, respectively, and were equal to the District’s required and actual contributions for each year. The required employer contribution for Fiscal Year 2016 was determined as part of the June 30, 2013, actuarial valuation of the District’s CalPERS plans using the Entry Age Normal Actuarial Cost Method. The actuarial assumptions for the June 30, 2013 valuation included: (a) 7.50% investment rate of return (net of administrative expenses); (b) projected annual salary increases that vary from 3.30% to 14.20%; and (c) a 2.75% inflation component. The actuarial value of CalPERS assets was determined using a technique that smoothes the effect of volatility in the market value of investments over a fifteen-year period. CalPERS’ initial unfunded liabilities are amortized over a closed period that depends on the plan’s date of entry into CalPERS. Subsequent plan amendments are amortized as a level percentage of pay over a closed 20-year period. Required employer and employee contributions are determined from rates established by CalPERS based upon various actuarial assumptions which are revised annually. The District currently funds the normal pension costs, which are determined by CalPERS using the Entry Age Normal Actuarial Cost Method, as well as an amortization of the District’s unfunded actuarial liability. For Fiscal Year 2017, the District’s CalPERS contribution is expected to be $796,500, assuming budgeted salaries and contribution rates of 8.880%, 7.612% and 6.555% of annual covered payroll for the 2.0% at 55 plan, 2.0% at 60 plan and 2.0% at 62 plan, respectively. The District had an unfunded accrued liability of $5,926,324 for its CalPERS plan as of June 30, 2015, based on a market value of assets of $26,135,966, as set forth in the most recent actuarial report prepared by CalPERS. 12 The staff actuaries at CalPERS annually prepare an actuarial valuation which covers a Fiscal Year ending approximately 15 months before the actuarial valuation is delivered (thus, the actuarial valuation dated August 2016 covered the District’s Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2015). The actuarial valuations express the District’s required contribution rates in percentages of covered payroll, which percentages the District must contribute in the Fiscal Year immediately following the Fiscal Year in which the actuarial valuation is prepared (thus, the District’s contribution rate derived from the actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2014 which was delivered in November 2015, affects the District’s Fiscal Year 2017 required contribution rate). CalPERS rules require the District to implement the actuary’s recommended rates. In calculating the annual actuarially recommended contribution rates, the CalPERS actuary calculates on the basis of certain assumptions the actuarial present value of benefits that CalPERS will fund under the CalPERS plans, which includes two components, the normal cost and the unfunded actuarial accrued liability (the “UAL”). The normal cost represents the actuarial present value of benefits that CalPERS will fund under the CalPERS plans that are attributed to the current year, and the actuarial accrued liability represents the actuarial present value of benefits that CalPERS will fund that are attributed to past years. The UAL represents an estimate of the actuarial shortfall between actuarial value of assets on deposit at CalPERS and the present value of the benefits that CalPERS will pay under the CalPERS plans to retirees and active employees upon their retirement. The UAL is based on several assumptions such as, among others, the rate of investment return, average life expectancy, average age of retirement, inflation, salary increases and occurrences of disabilities. In addition, the UAL includes certain actuarial adjustments such as, among others, the actuarial practice of smoothing losses and gains over multiple years (which is described in more detail below). As a result, the UAL may be considered an estimate of the unfunded actuarial present value of the benefits that CalPERS will fund under the CalPERS plans to retirees and active employees upon their retirement and not as a fixed expression of the liability that the District owes to CalPERS under its CalPERS plans. Commencing with the June 30, 2013 valuation, all new gains or losses are tracked and amortized over a fixed 30-year period with a five year ramp up at the beginning and a five year ramp down at the end of the amortization period. All changes in liability due to plan amendments (other than “golden handshakes,” which are amortized over a five year period), changes in actuarial assumptions, or changes in actuarial methodology are amortized separately over a 20-year period with a five year ramp up at the beginning and a five-year ramp down at the end of the amortization period. In each actuarial valuation, the CalPERS actuary estimates the actuarial value of the assets (the “Actuarial Value”) of the CalPERS plans at the end of the Fiscal Year (which assumes, among other things, that the rate of return during that Fiscal Year equaled the assumed rate of return (currently 7.50%)). The CalPERS actuary uses a smoothing technique to determine Actuarial Value that is calculated based on certain policies. Certain significant recent changes in assumptions include the following. On November 17, 2015, the CalPERS Board approved changes that could affect the assumed investment return rate in the future. In years in which CalPERS’ investment returns are more than 2% greater than forecast, the long-term assumed investment return rate will be reduced by a maximum of 0.25%. CalPERS estimates that this change will reduce the assumed investment return rate by approximately 1% (to 6.5%) within 20 years. On February 18, 2014, the CalPERS Board approved changes to actuarial assumptions and methods based upon a recently completed experience study. These changes include: moving from using smoothing of the market value of assets to obtain the actuarial value of assets to direct smoothing of employer contribution rates; increased life expectancy; changes to retirement ages (earlier for some groups and later for others); lower rates of disability retirement; and other changes. On April 17, 2013, the CalPERS Board of Administration approved a recommendation to change the CalPERS amortization and rate smoothing policies. Beginning with the June 30, 2013 valuations (which set the Fiscal Year 2016 rates), CalPERS employs an amortization and smoothing policy that pays for all gains and losses over a fixed 30-year period with the increases or decreases in the rate spread directly over a five-year period. CalPERS no longer uses the actuarial value of assets and only uses the market value of assets. This 13 direct rate smoothing method is equivalent to a method using a five year asset smoothing period with no actuarial value of asset corridor and a 25-year amortization period for gains and losses. On March 14, 2012, the CalPERS Board approved a change in the inflation assumption used in the actuarial valuations used to determine employer contribution rates. The inflation assumption was changed from 3% to 2.75% effective July 1, 2012. The change impacted the inflation component of the annual investment return assumption and the long term payroll growth assumption as follows: • The annual assumed investment return decreased from 7.75% to 7.50%. • The long term payroll growth assumption decreased from 3.25% to 3.00%. • The inflation component of individual salary scales decreased from 3.25% to 3.00%. Such contributions have been factored into the District’s contribution rates set by CalPERS. Future changes in CalPERS funding policies and assumptions, including those related to assumed rates of investment return and inflation, could trigger increases in the District’s annual required contributions, and such increases could be material to the finances of the Water System. Reporting obligations under Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 68 (“GASB 68”) commenced with financial statements for Fiscal Year 2015. Under GASB 68, an employer reports the net pension liability, pension expense and deferred outflows/deferred inflows of resources (as such terms are described in the following paragraph) related to pensions in its financial statements as part of its financial position. As a result of this change in accounting standards, the District’s total net position decreased by approximately [$7.2 million in Fiscal Year 2015, primarily due to an adjustment of approximately $6.9] million to the unrestricted net position balance as a result of the adoption of GASB 68. The net pension liability is the plan’s total pension liability based on the Entry Age Normal Actuarial Cost Method less the plan’s fiduciary net position. The pension expense is the change in net pension liability from the previous fiscal year to the current fiscal year, less adjustments. Deferred outflows and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions are certain changes in total pension liability and fiduciary net position that are to be recognized in future pension expense. Under GASB 68, deferred inflows and deferred outflows of resources related to pensions are recognized in pension expense systematically over time. The first amortized amounts are recognized in pension expense for the year in which the gain or loss occurs. The remaining amounts are categorized as deferred inflows and deferred outflows to be recognized in future pension expense. GASB 68 is a change in accounting reporting standards, but it does not change the District’s CalPERS plan funding obligations. See Note 7 in Appendix A for further information with respect to GASB 68. 14 The following table summarizes the District’s annual required contributions for its CalPERS plan for Fiscal Years 2012 through 2016: Fiscal Year Employer Contribution District-Funded Employee Contribution Employee Contribution Annual Pension Cost Percentage of Annual Pension Cost Contributed 2012 $549,308 $333,408 $ 942 $ 883,658 100% 2013 505,243 244,475 103,320 853,038 100 2014 537,843 114,713 246,612 899,168 100 2015 587,176 0 383,504 970,680 100 2016 674,827 0 401,822 1,076,649 100 Source: CalPERS Actuarial Report Dated August 2016. The following table summarizes the schedule of funding for all District plans as of June 30, 2015. The employer contribution rates for Fiscal Year 2017 are 8.880%, 7.612% and 6.555% of annual covered payroll for the 2.0% at 55 plan, 2.0% at 60 plan and 2.0% at 62 plan, respectively. Valuation Date (June 30) Accrued Liability Market Value of Assets Unfunded Liability Funded Ratio Annual Covered Payroll 2010 $25,148,893 $22,392,702 $2,756,191 89.0% $5,643,289 2011 25,412,948 20,098,223 5,314,725 79.1 5,011,006 2012 25,751,755 19,228,607 6,523,148 74.7 5,027,288 2013 26,981,627 21,929,626 5,052,001 81.4 4,907,053 2014 30,605,913 26,178,857 4,427,056 85.5 5,184,402 2015 32,062,290 26,135,966 5,926,324 81.6 5,532,136 Source: CalPERS Actuarial Report Dated August 2016. For additional information relating to the District’s CalPERS plan, see Note 7 to the District’s audited financial statements for Fiscal Year 2016 attached hereto as Appendix A. CalPERS earnings reports for Fiscal Years 2010 through 2015 report an investment gain in excess of 13.0%, 21.7%, 1%, 12.5%, 18.4% and 2.4%, respectively, with a preliminary return of 0.61% reported for Fiscal Year 2016. Future earnings performance may increase or decrease future contribution rates for plan participants, including the District. The District’s projections of Operating and Maintenance Costs shown under the caption “WATER SYSTEM FINANCIAL INFORMATION—Projected Operating Results and Debt Service Coverage” do not assume further unusual increases in CalPERS contributions or other labor costs. However, no assurance can be provided that such expenses will not increase significantly in the future. Other Post-Employment Benefits. The District, through a single employer defined benefit plan, provides post-employment health care benefits (“OPEB”). Specifically, the District provides health (medical, dental and vision) insurance for its retired employees and directors, their dependent spouses (if married and covered on the District’s plan at time of retirement), or survivors, in accordance with Board resolutions. Medical coverage is provided for retired employees who are age 50 or over and who have a minimum of 5 years of service with the District. The District pays 100% of the premium for the retiree and two-thirds of the premium amount for eligible dependents accrued at a rate of one year for every three years of service. Two-thirds of the premium amount of medical coverage is provided for the surviving spouse of retired employees for the remaining vested period. The OPEB plan does not provide a publicly available financial report. 15 The contribution requirements of OPEB plan members and the District are established and may be amended by the Board. Currently, contributions are not required from plan members. The District has established a trust fund to fund future OPEB obligations. In Fiscal Years 2016, 2015 and 2014, the District made contributions of $211,867, $192,919 and $187,756 to the OPEB trust fund. The District has budgeted $217,693 to contribute to the OPEB trust fund in Fiscal Year 2017. Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 45 (“GASB 45”) requires governmental agencies to account for and report the outstanding obligations and commitments related to other post-employment benefits in essentially the same manner as for pensions. While requiring the District to disclose the unfunded actuarial accrued liability and the annual required contribution (the actuarial value of benefits earned during a Fiscal Year plus costs to amortize the unfunded actuarial accrued liability, or “OPEB ARC”) in its financial statements, GASB 45 does not require the District to fund such OPEB ARC. The OPEB ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and to amortize any unfunded liabilities of the plan over a period not to exceed thirty years. The following table shows the components of the District’s annual OPEB cost for Fiscal Year 2016, the amount actually contributed to the plan, and changes in the District’s net OPEB obligation: OPEB ARC $ 211,867 Interest on Net OPEB Obligation (9,989) Adjustment to OPEB ARC 11,500 Annual OPEB Cost (Expense) 213,378 OPEB Contribution (211,867) Actual Contributions Made (135,100) Increase in Net OPEB Obligation 133,589 Net OPEB Asset – Beginning of Year (142,700) Net OPEB Asset – End of Year (276,289) The District’s annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the OPEB plan, and the net OPEB obligation for the last five Fiscal Years were as follows: Fiscal Year Ended June 30 Annual OPEB Costs Percentage of Annual OPEB Costs Contributed Net OPEB Obligation (Asset) 2012 $164,390 194.10% $(32,630) 2013 170,501 163.87 (140,364) 2014 189,177 99.25 (138,943) 2015 189,162 101.99 (142,700) 2016 213,378 162.61 (276,289) As of July 1, 2016, the District’s OPEB plan was 44.15% funded. The actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $2,136,644 and the actuarial value of assets was $742,379, resulting in an unfunded actuarial accrued liability (the “OPEB UAL”) of $1,394,265. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was $5,899,338 and the ratio of the OPEB UAL to the covered payroll was 23.67%. Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about rates of employee turnover, retirement and mortality, as well as economic assumptions regarding claim costs per retiree, healthcare inflation and interest rates. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress set forth below presents multi-year trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits. 16 Valuation Date Actuarial Accrued Liability (a) Actuarial Value of Assets (b) OPEB UAL (a) – (b) Funded Ratio (b) / (a) Annual Covered Payroll OPEB UAL as Percentage of Annual Covered Payroll 6/30/2011 $1,597,488 $164,291 $1,433,197 10.28% $4,773,686 30.02% 7/01/2013 1,896,791 537,913 1,358,878 28.36 5,200,000 26.13 7/01/2015 2,136,644 742,379 1,394,265 34.75 5,564,327 25.06 The District’s projections of Operating and Maintenance Costs shown under the caption “WATER SYSTEM FINANCIAL INFORMATION—Projected Operating Results and Debt Service Coverage” do not assume further unusual increases in OPEB funding expenses. However, future changes in OPEB funding policies and assumptions, including those related to assumed rates of investment return and inflation, could trigger increases in the District’s annual required contributions, and such increases could be material to the finances of the Water System. No assurance can be provided that such expenses will not increase significantly in the future. The District does not expect that any increased funding of OPEB will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the District to make payments of principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds. Budget Process Prior to June 30 of each year, District staff submits a proposed budget for the following Fiscal Year to the Board. The Board generally conducts a public workshop to obtain comments from residents and ratepayers before adopting the budget. On July 21, 2016, the Board approved the budget for Fiscal Year 2017. Decisions by the Board and the General Manager during the period covered by the budget are flexible so that the District can respond to changing conditions as necessary, while meeting the generally basic budgetary objectives of the Board. Water rates, fees and customer service charges are presented to the Board in June of each year, prior to approval of the budget. District Insurance The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, theft of, damage to and destruction of assets, errors and omissions, injuries to employees and natural disasters. In an effort to manage its risk exposure, the District is a member of the Association of California Water Agencies/Joint Powers Insurance Authority (“ACWA/JPIA”). ACWA/JPIA is a risk-pooling self-insurance authority, created under provisions of State law. The purpose of ACWA/JPIA is to arrange and administer programs of insurance for the pooling of self-insured losses and to purchase excess insurance coverage. As of June 30, 2016, as a member of ACWA/JPIA, the District participated in the following insurance programs: • General and auto liability, public officials and employee’s error and omissions: Total risk financing self-insurance limits of $2,000,000 and combined single limit at $2,000,000 per occurrence. ACWA/JPIA purchases additional excess coverage layers as follows: $58 million for general, auto and public officials liability, which increases the limits on the insurance coverage noted above. • Employee dishonesty coverage up to $100,000 per loss, including public employee dishonesty, forgery or alteration and theft, disappearance and destruction coverages, subject to a $1,000 deductible per occurrence. • Property loss is paid at the replacement cost for property on file, if replaced within two years after the loss; otherwise, property loss is paid on an actual cash value basis. The District’s Retrospective Allocation Point (deductible) is $25,000 per occurrence. ACWA/JPIA is self-insured for the first $100,000, and purchases excess coverage up to $100 million, subject to a $1,000 deductible, except for a $500 deductible on vehicles. 17 • Boiler and machinery coverage for the replacement cost up to $100 million per occurrence, subject to various deductibles depending on the type of equipment. • Workers’ compensation insurance up to State statutory limits for all work related injuries/illnesses covered by State law. The District maintains earthquake insurance through the ACWA/JPIA risk pool in the amount (shared with other entities in the pool) of $2,500,000. The occurrence of an earthquake or other natural disaster in or near the District’s service area, including, without limitation, wildfire, landslide, high winds, drought or flood, could have an adverse material impact on the economy within the District, the Water System and the Net Revenues available for the payment of the 2016A Bonds. Portions of the Water System may be at risk of damage or destruction from wildfires or subject to unpredictable seismic activity. There can be no assurance that specific losses will be covered by insurance or, if covered, that claims will be paid in full by the applicable insurers. Settled claims have not exceeded any of the coverage amounts in any of the last three Fiscal Years. See the caption “WATER SYSTEM FINANCIAL INFORMATION—Recovery of Wildfire Settlement Payment” for a discussion of prior litigation with the District’s excess liability insurers relating to insurance coverage. Outstanding Obligations Parity Obligations. On September 19, 2012, the District issued the 2012A Bonds for the purpose of refinancing certain capital improvements to the Water System of the District. The 2012A Bonds are currently outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of $7,230,000. The 2012A Bonds are payable from Net Revenues and secured by a lien on and pledge of Revenues on a parity with the payments of principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds. [Subordinate Obligations. On September 24, 2012, the District entered into the Wells Fargo Line of Credit. The Wells Fargo Line of Credit is in the maximum outstanding principal amount of $7,000,000 and has an interest rate equal to 70% of the 1-month LIBOR rate plus 0.90% per annum. The District has drawn upon the Wells Fargo Line of Credit to fund certain costs and projects associated with the District’s ongoing Capital Improvement Program. The District’s obligations outstanding under the Wells Fargo Line of Credit in the amount of $7,000,000 are payable from Net Revenues on a subordinate basis to the payments of principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds and are scheduled to be paid in full on September 30, 2016.] Ad Valorem Tax Revenues General. The County levies a 1% ad valorem property tax on behalf of all taxing agencies in the County, including the District. The taxes collected are allocated to taxing agencies within the County, including the District, on the basis of a formula established by State law enacted in 1979. Under this formula, the County and all other taxing entities receive a base year allocation plus an allocation on the basis of “situs” growth in assessed value (new construction, change of ownership, and inflation) prorated among the jurisdictions which serve the tax rate areas within which the growth occurs. Tax rate areas are specifically defined geographic areas which were developed to permit the levying of taxes for less than county-wide or less than city-wide special districts. In Fiscal Year 2016, the District received $1,615,454 in 1% ad valorem property tax revenues from the County. Such revenues constitute Ad Valorem Tax Revenues pledged, to the extent remaining after payment of Operating and Maintenance Costs and Non-Operating and Maintenance Costs, as the first source of payment of the principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds. From time to time legislation has been considered as part of the State budget to shift Property Tax Revenues from special districts to school districts or other governmental entities. Legislation enacted in connection with the 1992-93 State budget shifted approximately 35% of many special districts’ shares of the countywide 1% ad valorem tax, including the District’s share. The 2004-05 State budget reallocated additional 18 portions of the special districts’ shares of the countywide 1% ad valorem tax, shifting a portion of the Ad Valorem Tax Revenues collected by the County from special districts to school districts. As a result of the 2004- 05 State budget, the District lost approximately $1,586,028 of Ad Valorem Tax Revenues, cumulatively, over Fiscal Years 2005 and 2006. Pursuant to the 2004-05 State budget, such Ad Valorem Tax Revenues reverted to the District in Fiscal Year 2007. On November 2, 2004, State voters approved Proposition 1A, which amends the State Constitution to significantly reduce the State’s authority over major local government revenue sources. Under Proposition 1A, the State may not, among other things: (i) shift property taxes from local governments to schools or community colleges; or (ii) change how 1% ad valorem property tax revenues are shared among local governments without two-thirds approval of both houses of the State Legislature. Beginning in State fiscal year 2009-10, the State may shift to schools and community colleges a limited amount of local government 1% ad valorem property tax revenues if certain conditions are met, including: (a) a proclamation by the Governor that the shift is needed due to a severe financial hardship of the State; and (b) approval of the shift by the State Legislature with a two-thirds vote of both houses. Under such a shift, the State must repay local governments for their property tax losses, with interest, within three years and no additional shifts may occur until the State repays the shifted revenues. Proposition 1A does allow the State to approve voluntary exchanges of local sales tax and property tax revenues among local governments within a county. On July 27, 2009, the Governor of the State signed a revised fiscal year 2009-10 State budget which included a shift of approximately 8% of 1% ad valorem property tax revenues from certain local agencies, including the District, to school districts and other governmental agencies. The State repaid the portion of the Ad Valorem Tax Revenues that were subject to such shift, totaling $102,192, to the District in Fiscal Year 2013, plus interest at the rate of 2% per annum, all in accordance with Proposition 1A. There can be no assurance that the Ad Valorem Tax Revenues that the District currently expects to receive will not be temporarily shifted from the District pursuant to Proposition 1A in future years, or reduced pursuant to State legislation enacted in the future. If the property tax formula is changed for a State fiscal year or permanently changed in the future, it could have a material adverse effect on the receipt of Ad Valorem Tax Revenues by the District, to the extent received by the District in accordance with State law. Ad Valorem Tax Revenues comprise a portion of Revenues from which Operating and Maintenance Costs and Non-Operating and Maintenance Costs are payable, but the District has no taxing power. See the caption “SECURITY FOR THE 2016A BONDS—Limited Obligations Payable From Net Revenues” for a discussion of the extent to which Ad Valorem Tax Revenues are available to make payments of principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds. Assessed Valuation. The assessed valuation of the property in the County is established by the County Assessor, except for public utility property, which is assessed by the State Board of Equalization. Generally, property can be reappraised to market value only upon a change in ownership or completion of new construction. The assessed value of property that has not incurred a change of ownership or new construction must be adjusted annually to reflect inflation at a rate not to exceed 2% per year based on the State consumer price index. In the event of declining property value caused by substantial damage, destruction, economic or other factors, the assessed value must be reduced temporarily to reflect market value. The County Assessor determines and enrolls a value for each parcel of taxable real property in the County every year. The value review may result in a reduction in value. Taxpayers in the County also may appeal the determination of the County Assessor with respect to the assessed value of their property. The table below sets forth the secured and unsecured assessed valuations for property in the District for the last five Fiscal Years. The information in the table below has been provided by the County Auditor-Controller. The District has not independently verified the information in the table below and does not guarantee its accuracy. 19 TABLE 1 YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT ASSESSED VALUATION Fiscal Year Local Secured Unsecured Total 2012 $16,999,386,679 $246,912,352 $17,246,299,031 2013 17,641,280,663 225,542,596 17,866,823,259 2014 18,668,404,485 314,678,102 18,983,082,587 2015 19,954,785,758 288,290,618 20,243,076,376 2016 21,302,966,019 286,272,664 21,589,238,683 Source: Orange County Auditor-Controller. Tax Levies and Delinquencies. In accordance with the State Revenue and Taxation Code, the County tax collector collects secured tax levies for each Fiscal Year. Property taxes on the secured roll are due in two installments, on November 1 and February 1. If unpaid, such taxes become delinquent after December 10 and April 10, respectively, and a 10% penalty attaches to any delinquent payment. In addition, property on the secured roll with respect to which taxes are delinquent is declared tax-defaulted on or about June 30. Such property may thereafter be redeemed by payment of the delinquent taxes and the delinquency penalty, plus costs and a redemption penalty of 1.5% per month to the time of redemption. If taxes are unpaid for a period of five years or more, the tax-defaulted property is subject to sale by the County Treasurer-Tax Collector. Property taxes on the unsecured roll are due as of a January 1 lien date and become delinquent, if unpaid, on August 31. A 10% penalty attaches to delinquent taxes on property on the unsecured roll and an additional penalty of 1.5% per month begins to accrue on November 1. The taxing authority has four ways of collecting unsecured personal property taxes: (1) a civil action against the taxpayer; (2) filing a certificate in the office of the County Clerk specifying certain facts in order to obtain a judgment lien on certain property of the taxpayer; (3) filing a certificate of delinquency for recordation in the County Recorder’s office in order to obtain a lien on certain property of the taxpayer; and (4) seizure and sale of personal property, improvements or possessory interests belonging or assessed to the taxpayer. The table below sets forth property tax levies and delinquencies in the District as of June 30 for the last five [available] Fiscal Years. TABLE 2 YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT PROPERTY TAX LEVIES AND COLLECTIONS Fiscal Year Secured Tax Charge(1) Amount Delinquent June 30 Percent Delinquent June 30 2011 $1,194,554 $17,622 1.48% 2012 1,225,270 16,476 1.34 2013(2) 1,246,033 12,002 0.96 2014 1,294,007 9,706 0.75 2015 1,390,316 9,654 0.69 2016 [ ] (1) 1% General Fund apportionment.

See the caption “—General.” Source: California Municipal Statistics Inc. In Fiscal Year 2016, Ad Valorem Tax Revenues constituted approximately 4.60% of total Revenues received by the District. 20 The Board of Supervisors of the County has approved the implementation of the Alternative Method of Distribution of Tax Levies and Collections and of Tax Sale Proceeds (the “Teeter Plan”), as provided for in Section 4701 et seq. of the State Revenue and Taxation Code. As a result of the implementation of the Teeter Plan by the County, the County apportions secured property taxes and assessments on an accrual basis when due (irrespective of actual collections) to participating local political subdivisions for which the County acts as the levying or collecting agency. The District does not participate in the Teeter Plan. As a result, the District is subject to the risk that delinquencies in the payment of 1% ad valorem property taxes could reduce the amount of Ad Valorem Property Taxes received by the District. Conversely, the District will benefit from Ad Valorem Property Taxes generated by penalties and interest charged on delinquent ad valorem property taxes. WATER SUPPLY General The District currently has two primary sources of water: (i) groundwater pumped from ten active wells; and (ii) imported water purchased from MWDOC delivered from MWD. Groundwater. The District operates ten active water wells. Wells 1, 5, 7, 10, 12, 18 and 19 are located at the District’s Richfield Facility. Wells 11, 15 and 20 are located in the City of Anaheim adjacent to OCWD’s spreading basins. In 1998, the District renovated Wells 1, 5, 7 and 12, upgrading them to the latest standards and to a single lift operation, which improves operational performance and reliability. The District’s wells draw water from the Orange County Groundwater Basin, which is managed by OCWD. The Orange County Groundwater Basin is estimated to have a total water storage capacity of approximately 66,000,000 acre feet. The District’s wells have been drilled to an average depth of 400 feet and produce high quality water that meets all State and federal drinking water standards in sufficient quantities to supply approximately 70% of annual customer demand within the District. Total maximum daily production from the District’s wells is approximately 21 million gallons per day (“mgd”). From Fiscal Years [2011 through 2015, the District’s maximum daily water demand was approximately 29 million gallons, while the average daily water demand was approximately 19 million gallons]. District groundwater pumping is affected by policies of OCWD, the agency responsible for managing the Orange County Groundwater Basin, including the setting of replenishment assessments, basin production percentages of total water demand by agencies pumping basin groundwater and basin equity assessments. OCWD establishes and collects replenishment assessments as a means of purchasing water and funding projects for the purpose of replenishing the Orange County Groundwater Basin. The replenishment assessment is established annually by OCWD and applies to every acre foot of groundwater produced from the Orange County Groundwater Basin. In addition, each year, OCWD sets a basin production percentage (the “BPP”) for water to be extracted from the Orange County Groundwater Basin. The BPP is the amount of groundwater, as a percentage of a groundwater pumping agency’s total water demands, that can be pumped from the Orange County Groundwater Basin during the year by the groundwater pumping agency without incurring the additional assessment described in the following paragraph. The amount of groundwater that an agency can pump without incurring the additional assessment is calculated by multiplying the total water use of such agency by the BPP (the “BPP formula”). The additional assessment incurred by an agency that pumps groundwater above the limit established by the BPP formula is called the basin equity assessment (the “BEA”). The BEA is established annually by OCWD and is intended to discourage pumping of amounts above the BPP formula by raising the cost of producing groundwater so that it equals the cost of importing water, thereby encouraging groundwater pumping agencies to supplement their groundwater production with imported water for the portion of their water use that exceeds the BPP. The BEA is a surcharge to discourage, yet still allow for, the production of groundwater in 21 excess of the BPP formula. One of the District’s operating objectives is to minimize the production of groundwater in excess of the BPP formula in order to minimize the BEA payment. In Fiscal Year 2015, the District did not pay a BEA to OCWD. For Fiscal Years 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, the BPP was 65%, 68%, 70%, 72% and 75%, respectively. The BPP for Fiscal Year 2017 is expected to be set at 75% which, based on estimated demands, would allow the District to pump approximately 13,800 acre feet from the Orange County Groundwater Basin without incurring any BEA. The District currently pays OCWD a replenishment assessment of $402 per acre foot for all groundwater pumped and a BEA equal to an additional $584 per acre foot for groundwater pumped in excess of the BPP formula. The replenishment assessment for Fiscal Year 2017 has not yet been determined. See the caption “YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT—General” for a discussion of certain limitations on the District’s ability to pump groundwater up to the BPP at the present time. OCWD faces various challenges in managing the Orange County Groundwater Basin. A description of these challenges as well as a variety of other operating information with respect to OCWD is included in certain disclosure documents prepared by OCWD. OCWD has certain publicly available documents and has entered into certain continuing disclosure agreements pursuant to which OCWD is contractually obligated, for the benefit of owners of certain of its outstanding obligations, to file certain annual reports, notices of certain enumerated events as defined under Rule 15c2-12 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 15c2-12”), and annual audited financial statements (collectively, the “OCWD Information”), with EMMA, maintained on the Internet at http://emma.msrb.org. The OCWD Information is not incorporated herein by reference thereto, and the District makes no representation as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. OCWD HAS NOT ENTERED INTO ANY CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENT WITH THE DISTRICT, THE TRUSTEE OR THE OWNERS OF THE 2016A BONDS TO PROVIDE OCWD INFORMATION TO THE DISTRICT OR THE OWNERS OF THE 2016A BONDS. OCWD HAS NOT REVIEWED THIS OFFICIAL STATEMENT AND HAS NOT MADE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED OR INCORPORATED HEREIN, INCLUDING INFORMATION WITH REGARD TO OCWD. OCWD IS NOT CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED, AND HAS NOT UNDERTAKEN, TO UPDATE SUCH INFORMATION FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE DISTRICT OR THE OWNERS OF THE 2016A BONDS UNDER RULE 15c2-12. Complaint against OCWD. As discussed under the caption “—Groundwater,” OCWD annually establishes the BPP, which is the amount of groundwater, as a percentage of total water demands, that groundwater producers can pump from the Orange County groundwater basin without incurring additional assessments. Currently, OCWD calculates total water demands without considering recycled water sales. Because OCWD does not consider recycled water sales in calculating a water service provider’s total water demands, OCWD considers the total water demands of a water service provider that sells recycled water to be lower than they would be if recycled water sales were counted. As a result, the amount of groundwater that such water service providers can pump from the Orange County groundwater basin without incurring additional assessments is lower than it would be if recycled water sales were considered. In June 2016, Irvine Ranch Water District (“IRWD”), a water service provider within OCWD boundaries that sells recycled water to its customers, filed a complaint (the “Complaint”) against OCWD in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Orange, seeking an order determining that OCWD’s BPP calculation methodology is unlawful. In August 2016, OCWD filed an answer to the Complaint denying all substantive allegations. In addition, the District, the City of Anaheim, two other local water agencies and one private water company that produce groundwater from the Orange County groundwater basin have filed an answer and seek to join the litigation as interested parties. The District expects the discovery process to commence with respect to the litigation in the coming months. If the Complaint is successful, IRWD would be able to pump additional amounts of groundwater without incurring additional assessments. Such an outcome could reduce the BPP for all groundwater pumpers and compel the District to purchase water from more 22 expensive sources, such as MWDOC. The projected water production expenses that are set forth under the caption “WATER SYSTEM FINANCIAL INFORMATION—Projected Operating Results and Debt Service Coverage” do not assume any reduction in the BPP as a result of the Complaint. Imported Water. The other source of supply available to the District is water that the District purchases from MWDOC, a member of MWD. MWD imports water into southern California from the Colorado River via the Colorado River Aqueduct, and from northern California via the State Water Project. MWD is the largest wholesale water agency in the United States, distributing water to a service area that extends from Ventura to the California-Mexico border. MWD’s distribution system sells water directly to certain agencies and through subsidiary agencies such as MWDOC to other agencies such as the District. The District pays for its imported water through MWDOC but takes actual delivery of the water that it purchases through pipelines owned by MWD in the Orange County area. District pipelines used to deliver imported water have a combined capacity of approximately 26 mgd. The District currently has adequate capacity from MWDOC to meet its average daily demands from its customers. MWDOC’s charge to the District consists of four components: (a) MWDOC’s cost to purchase water from MWD; (b) a capacity charge in the current amount of $234,682 per year; (c) a readiness-to-serve charge in the current amount of $637,578 per year; and (d) a retail connection charge in the current amount of $10.20 per connection. MWD faces various challenges in the continued supply of imported water to MWDOC. A description of these challenges as well as a variety of other operating information with respect to MWD is included in certain disclosure documents prepared by MWD. MWD has certain publicly available documents and has entered into certain continuing disclosure agreements pursuant to which MWD is contractually obligated, for the benefit of owners of certain of its outstanding obligations, to file certain annual reports, notices of certain enumerated events as defined under Rule 15c2-12 and annual audited financial statements (collectively, the “MWD Information”) with EMMA. The MWD Information is not incorporated herein by reference thereto, and the District makes no representation as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. MWD HAS NOT ENTERED INTO ANY CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENT WITH THE DISTRICT, THE TRUSTEE OR THE OWNERS OF THE 2016A BONDS TO PROVIDE MWD INFORMATION TO THE DISTRICT OR THE OWNERS OF THE 2016A BONDS. MWD HAS NOT REVIEWED THIS OFFICIAL STATEMENT AND HAS NOT MADE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED OR INCORPORATED HEREIN, INCLUDING INFORMATION WITH REGARD TO MWD. MWD IS NOT CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED, AND HAS NOT UNDERTAKEN, TO UPDATE SUCH INFORMATION FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE DISTRICT OR THE OWNERS OF THE 2016A BONDS UNDER RULE 15c2-12. Historic and Projected Water Supply Set forth below is a summary of the District’s sources of water supply for the last five Fiscal Years. The decreases in water supply in Fiscal Years 2015 and 2016 reflect a combination of conservation initiatives by the District in coordination with MWDOC and the mandatory conservation measures that have been imposed by the State in response to the Statewide drought, as discussed under the caption “—Drought Proclamation.” Although reductions in water supply result in lower Water System Revenues, they also result in reduced Operating and Maintenance Costs to the District. 23 TABLE 3 YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT HISTORIC WATER SUPPLY IN ACRE FEET PER YEAR Fiscal Year Groundwater Imported Water Total Increase/(Decrease) 2012 10,020 10,812 20,832 N/A% 2013 10,981 10,826 21,807 4.68 2014 12,609 10,005 22,614 3.70 2015(1) 14,181 5,605 19,786 (12.51) 2016(1) 12,369 3,375 15,744 (20.43) (1) Decreases in Fiscal Year 2015 and 2016 reflect the District’s efforts to comply with State conservation mandates relating to drought.

See the caption “— Drought Proclamation.” Source: District. Drought Proclamation State Orders. Precipitation in the Santa Ana River Watershed and the State as a whole has been below average in recent years. On January 17, 2014, the California Governor declared a Statewide drought state of emergency through Proclamation 1-17-2014 (the “Proclamation”) with immediate effect. The Proclamation includes the following orders, among others: (a) local urban water suppliers, including the District, are encouraged to implement their local water shortage contingency plans; the District’s plan is discussed under the caption “—District Response to Drought;” (b) local urban water suppliers, including the District, are encouraged to update their urban water management plans to prepare for extended drought conditions; (c) The State Department of Water Resources (“DWR”) and the State Water Resources Control Board (the “SWRCB”) are directed to expedite the processing of water transfers; (d) the SWRCB is directed to put water rights holders on notice that they may be required to cease or reduce water diversions in the future; (e) the SWRCB is directed to consider modifying requirements for reservoir releases or diversion limitations; and (f) DWR is directed to take necessary actions to protect water quality and supply in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta/San Francisco Bay Estuary (the “Bay-Delta”), including the installation of temporary barriers or temporary water supply connections, while minimizing impacts to aquatic species. In addition, on July 15, 2014, the SWRCB adopted emergency measures requiring water suppliers to implement mandatory Statewide water conservation actions. On March 17, 2015, the SWRCB adopted additional emergency regulations limiting outdoor irrigation to two days per week, extending certain measures set forth in the July 15, 2014 action for an additional 270 days, 24 prohibiting outdoor irrigation for 48 hours following rain and prohibiting restaurants from serving water to customers unless requested. The District is undertaking efforts to comply with the new regulations through its conservation ordinances, as discussed under the caption “—District Response to Drought.” MWD also invoked its Water Supply Allocation Plan (the “WSAP”) in response to the March 17, 2015 regulations. The WSAP provides for the equitable distribution of available water supplies in case of extreme water shortage within MWD’s service area. On April 14, 2015, MWD approved implementation of WSAP Level 3 (Water Supply Allocation) effective July 1, 2015, which among other things imposes a surcharge of between $1,480 and $2,960 per acre foot of water usage above MWD members’ water allocation. To date, no surcharges have been imposed on the District; any such surcharges would be passed through to customers. As a result of improved hydrologic conditions, primarily in northern California, on May 10, 2016, MWD rescinded the WSAP, declared a Level 2 Water Supply Alert and decided not to implement the WSAP for Fiscal Year 2017. On April 1, 2015, the California Governor issued an Executive Order extending the measures set forth in the Proclamation and adopting the following additional orders, among others: (i) the SWRCB is directed to impose restrictions to reduce potable urban water usage, including usage by commercial, industrial and institutional properties and golf courses, by 25% from 2013 amounts through February 28, 2016; portions of a water supplier’s service area with higher per capita use must achieve proportionally greater reductions than areas with lower per capita use; (ii) DWR is directed to lead a Statewide initiative to replace 50 million square feet of lawns with drought tolerant landscaping; (iii) the California Energy Commission is directed to implement a rebate program for replacement of inefficient appliances; (iv) urban water suppliers are required to provide monthly water usage, conservation and enforcement information; (v) service providers are required to monitor groundwater basin levels in accordance with California Water Code § 10933; (vi) permitting agencies are required to prioritize approval of water infrastructure and supply projects; and (vii) DWR is required to plan salinity barriers in the Bay-Delta. On May 6, 2015, the SWRCB adopted regulations in response to the Governor’s executive order that require the District to effect a 36% reduction from 2013 water usage. On November 13, 2015, the Governor issued Executive Order B-36-15, which calls for an extension of urban water use restrictions until October 31, 2016 should drought conditions persist through April 2016. On February 2, 2016, the SWRCB extended its previous emergency regulations through October 2016 while making available credits and adjustments of up to 8% in urban water suppliers’ conservation mandates based upon climate, water-efficient growth and investments in drought-resilient supply sources. After precipitation improved in California through the winter, on May 9, 2016 the California Governor issued Executive Order B-37-16, which required the SWRCB to adjust its emergency regulations through the end of January 2017 to account for differing water supply conditions across California. It also directed the SWRCB and DWR to develop a long-term framework and requirements for increasing water efficiency, eliminating water waste, and strengthening local resilience. On May 18, 2016 the SWRCB adopted a revised regulation gives water agencies the ability to establish their own conservation standards based on a “stress test” of supply reliability. By June 22, 2016, water agencies were required to submit self-certifications to the SWRCB demonstrating that they have sufficient supplies to withstand three additional years of severe drought. Any identified percentage gap between supplies and demands would become the water agency’s updated mandatory conservation target. As a result of significant investments in water supply reliability as described herein, the District demonstrated that it has more than sufficient supplies to meet its projected demands, even if California endures three more years of drought. Consequently, the District’s mandatory conservation target was eliminated, retroactive to June 1, 2016. Notwithstanding the elimination of mandatory State-imposed conservation orders, the District continues to implement Stage 1 of its Drought Ordinance as described under the caption “—District Response to Drought” and is asking its customers for a voluntary 10% water use reduction relative to use in 2013. In July 2016, the District’s customers collectively achieved a 36% reduction relative to 2013 potable water use. 25 District Response to Drought. Under District Ordinance Nos. 09-01, 15-01 and 16-01 (collectively, the “Drought Ordinance”), the District may take the following actions in response to the mandatory conservation measures imposed by the State. Various stages of the Drought Ordinance were implemented in Fiscal Year 2016. However, currently, the District is only implementing Stage 1: First, the District may implement an allocation-based tiered rate structure under which potable water customers are subject to the below penalties (per billing cycle) for water use that exceeds the following allocations: YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTIES UNDER DROUGHT ORDINANCE(1) Residential Penalty Block 1 1-18 Units $ - Block 2 19-29 Units 10.00 Block 3 30-49 Units 20.00 Block 4 50-74 Units 40.00 Block 5 75-99 Units 80.00 Block 6 100+ Units 160.00 Commercial Penalty Block 1 1-50 Units $ - Block 2 51-75 Units 25.00 Block 3 76-100 Units 50.00 Block 4 100-150 Units 100.00 Block 5 151-200 Units 200.00 Block 6 200+ Units 400.00 Irrigation Penalty Block 1 1-115 Units $ - Block 2 116-200 Units 65.00 Block 3 201-300 Units 130.00 Block 4 301-400 Units 260.00 Block 5 401-500 Units 520.00 Block 6 500+ Units 1,000.00 (1) A unit equals 100 cubic feet (748 gallons) of water. Source: District Ordinance Nos. 15-01 and 16-01. Second, the District may: (1) engage in public outreach and education efforts; (2) offer rebates for turf removal, the installation of rain barrels and smart irrigation meters and high efficiency appliances; (3) and impose the below-described mandatory restrictions on water use (beginning with irrigation and other outdoor uses) and enforcement actions. Third, the District may implement a Stage Three Water Alert, which is intended to reduce water use by up to 35% and includes the following measures, among others: (i) potable water irrigation is prohibited between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. and limited to two days a week during summer months and one day a week during winter months for no more than 15 minutes per station; (ii) filling or refilling (more than one foot) of residential swimming pools is prohibited; (iii) potable water irrigation runoff and watering during rain events is prohibited; 26 (iv) cars must be washed with hoses that have shutoff nozzles; and (v) using potable water to wash paved areas is prohibited. Violations of the Drought Ordinance are subject to fines that are collected on customer water bills. See the caption “THE WATER SYSTEM—Collection Procedures.” For initial violations, the District hand delivers a door hanger to the location of the violation and mail a notice to the current billing address. For second violations within one year, the District imposes a $100 fine. For third violations within one year, the District imposes a $250 fine. For additional violations within one year, the District imposes a $500 fine and may install a water flow restrictor or disconnect service for willful violations. With the implementation of the Drought Ordinance, the District was able to achieve a 36% cumulative reduction in water usage from 2013 amounts through June 2016, which reflected full compliance with the regulations adopted by the SWRCB on May 6, 2015. The District has maintained communication with the SWRCB to explain the District’s efforts to cause its customers to reduce water usage further. The District is also engaged in a continuing effort to modify the SWRCB’s regulations to reflect the District’s climate, population growth and the danger of wildfire within the District. See the caption “WATER SYSTEM FINANCIAL INFORMATION—Recovery of Wildfire Settlement Payment.” The District believes that implementation of the Drought Ordinance was successful in achieving the mandated conservation requirements in Fiscal Year 2016; however, it also resulted in lower water sales revenues for such Fiscal Year. For Fiscal Year 2017, the District believes that water usage and the corresponding water sales revenue will increase from the prior Fiscal Year. The District has eased many of the requirements associated with the Drought Ordinance in response to the lifting of the mandated conservation by the SWRCB. Customers who heavily conserved water in response to the State mandates and the District rate increases discussed under the caption “THE WATER SYSTEM—Water System Rates and Charges” are anticipated to use additional water in future years, increasing their usage from the “Drought Year” (Fiscal Year 2015) beginning with an initial 12% rebound in Year 1 (Fiscal Year 2017) to a “new normal” in Year 5 (Fiscal Year 2021) of a 20% increase from the “Drought Year.” As discussed under the caption “THE WATER SYSTEM— Water System Rates and Charges,” the District’s rate structure consists of variable and fixed rate components; the rate increase discussed under such caption is intended to allow the District to recover a greater proportion of the District’s cost of service. The projected operating results set forth under the caption “WATER AND SEWER SYSTEM FINANCIAL INFORMATION—Projected Operating Results” reflect the assumption of increased water sales via the anticipated 12% rebound in water use through Fiscal Year 2018. The District does not believe that the continued implementation of Stage 1 of the Drought Ordinance will have a material adverse effect on its ability to make payments of principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds from Net Revenues. The District notes that Net Revenues include Ad Valorem Tax Revenues. See the caption “YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT— Ad Valorem Tax Revenues.” While under the restrictions of mandated conservation, the District was able to achieve its conservation goal, the level of restrictions may not be sustainable over the long term. If the Statewide water shortage should persist or worsen, legal issues exist as to whether different State Water Code provisions should be invoked to require reasonable regulations for the allocation of water in time of shortage. Any curtailment pursuant to State orders that is accompanied by an increase in MWD water charges (such as the surcharge under MWD’s WSAP discussed under the caption “—State Orders”) to its member agencies could necessitate an increase in the District’s water rates to District customers. See the caption “CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATIONS ON APPROPRIATIONS AND CHARGES—Proposition 218” for a discussion of certain restrictions on the District’s ability to raise water rates. 27 THE WATER SYSTEM General The Water System of the District serves approximately 23.7 square miles of territory. The Water System consists of more than 347 miles of water pipeline of various diameters, 14 active reservoirs with a combined capacity of approximately 57,000,000 gallons, and ten active water wells providing a combined maximum capacity of approximately 21 mgd. Additionally, the Water System contains three pipeline connections for potable imported water with a combined capacity of 26 mgd, and one pipeline connection for non-potable water with a capacity of 2.6 mgd. The well depths of the Water System are monitored on a continuous basis. The entire Water System is linked to the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System, a computer software system that monitors and controls the wells, tanks, lift stations and booster stations. The District has an automatic meter reading system for water consumption, which is recorded through radio reads and downloaded into the District’s computer system for billing. The District classifies its customers into the following major categories: residential, commercial and industrial, landscape, private fire service, construction and untreated water. As shown in the table below, the District provides service to approximately 22,845 individually metered residential connections, 229 master-metered multifamily residential units, 842 commercial and industrial connections and 884 irrigation connections. The commercial and industrial customer base is composed primarily of service businesses such as markets, service stations and restaurants as well as hospitals, office buildings, car washes and other commercial service establishments. The City of Yorba Linda is the District’s largest customer, primarily using water to irrigate landscaping in parks, street medians and slopes. The table below illustrates the number of customers in each major category and percent of total as of June 30, 2016.

These ten largest customers accounted for approximately 9.05% of total Water System Revenues of $33,050,080 for Fiscal Year 2016. Water System Rates and Charges General. District rates and charges for water service in the District’s service area are set by the Board and are not subject by statute to the jurisdiction of, or regulation by, the California Public Utilities Commission or any other regulatory body. The Board currently sets water charges to pay the costs of water pumping and to recover operating expenses of the Water System. Capital improvements and debt service payments for the Water System are funded from capital facilities fees, property tax revenues and water rates. The District generally applies one schedule of rates and charges for the Water System, with the exception of separately stated rates for construction water, untreated water and private fire water. Additionally, the District sets separate rates and charges for its sewer operations, the revenues from which are not pledged to the payment of principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds. The District has adopted a policy whereby the Board, at its option and determination, may pass through increased wholesale water costs to its customers. Any costs passed through to customers must be approved in advance by the Board. Pursuant to the policy “increased costs of purchased wholesale water costs which are charged to [the District] by the Municipal Water District of Orange County, Orange County Water District and the Metropolitan Water Agency will pass through by determining the unit cost per 100 cubic feet of water and then applying such cost to retail accounts on the basis of water usage.” The Board has indicated that its intent is to provide notice to District customers for any increased wholesale water costs resulting from any of such pass throughs. On September 17, 2015, after compliance with the notice, hearing and protest provisions of Proposition 218 described under the caption “CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATIONS ON APPROPRIATIONS AND CHARGES—Proposition 218,” the Board adopted a resolution implementing water rate increases effective October 1, 2015. The monthly base service charge (as described below) was reduced in Fiscal Year 2017 as a result of the elimination of the mandatory State conservation orders relating to the drought. See the caption “WATER SUPPLY—Drought Proclamation.” 31 The projected water revenues for Fiscal Years 2018 and thereafter set forth under the caption “WATER SYSTEM FINANCIAL INFORMATION—Projected Operating Results and Debt Service Coverage” assume additional rate increases above current rates of approximately 12% per annum in accordance with the recommendations that were set forth in a financial plan update that was prepared for the District by Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc. All rate increases are subject to the notice, public hearing and protest provisions of Proposition 218. See the caption “CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATIONS ON APPROPRIATIONS AND CHARGES—Proposition 218.” There can be no assurance that the Board will adopt additional rate increases in the future or that currently adopted rate increases will not be overturned in accordance with the provisions of Proposition 218 in the future. See the caption “LITIGATION—Challenge to Rate Restructuring” for a discussion of a challenge to the September 17, 2015 rate restructuring. Water Service Charges. The District requires water meters for all of its customers. Since July 1, 2014, the District’s water consumption charge has been $2.70 per 100 cubic feet (748 gallons) (a “unit”) of water use. See the caption “WATER SUPPLY—Drought Proclamation—District Response to Drought” for a description of additional charges that are currently imposed on customers for water use in excess of certain tier levels in light of the Statewide drought. In addition to consumption charges, effective July 1, 2016, customers are charged the following monthly capacity charge based on meter size: TABLE 10 YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT MONTHLY CAPACITY CHARGES Meter Size Monthly Capacity Charge 5/8” and 3/4”(1) $ 19.45 1”(1) 32.49 1½” 64.78 2” 103.69 3” 227.04 4” 408.55 6” 907.95 (1) Approximately 93% of District connections, representing approximately 74% of Water System Revenues in Fiscal Year 2016, were to residential customers with 5/8”, 3/4” or 1” meters.

All amounts reflect the billing for 18 units of water use per month: TABLE 11 YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT WATER SERVICE CHARGE COMPARISON Water Purveyor Total Bill Golden State Water Company $111.94 East Orange County Water District 102.31 Serrano Water District 99.71 Mesa Water District 90.93 Yorba Linda Water District 81.09(1) City of Brea 77.74 (1) The water service charge for a single family residential user consuming 18 units per month is approximately $81.09 ($2.70 per unit multiplied by 18 units ($48.60) plus a $32.49 capacity charge for a 1” meter). Source: District. Collection Procedures The District is on a monthly billing cycle for Water Service, sending out bills every 28 to 36 days for the preceding month’s service. If payment is not received within 27 days, a late notice is rendered and a 10% late charge (capped at $10) is assessed. Eight days after the generation of a late notice, a 7-day shut-off (yellow tag) door hanger is posted at the location(s) of all unpaid accounts. If any account remains unpaid after such 7- day period, water is turned off and the meter is locked until all balances are paid. As of June 30, 2016, accounts comprising less than 1% of the total Water System Revenues were delinquent. The District reports, however, that upon receipt of the notices described above, almost all of its customers pay delinquent amounts before the end of the billing cycle. All accounts not paid in full at the end of the billing cycle will be discontinued until full payment is made plus a $225 deposit and an $80 reconnection assessment. Projected Water Connections The following table shows the number of connections to the Water System projected by the District for the current and next four Fiscal Years.

There can be no assurance that the projected water deliveries set forth below will be achieved, whether occasioned by a shortfall of water deliveries due to continued drought or other limiting conditions. See the caption “WATER SUPPLY” for a discussion of factors that could affect the District’s water supply.

The above projections are based on the projected water deliveries described under the caption “— Projected Water Deliveries,” the rates described under the caption “—Water System Rates and Charges” for Fiscal Year 2017 and projected rate increases of approximately 12% per annum thereafter. Projected water rate increases for Fiscal Years 2018 and thereafter have not yet been authorized. Such rate increases are subject to the notice, public hearing and protest provisions of Proposition 218. See the caption “CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATIONS ON APPROPRIATIONS AND CHARGES—Proposition 218.” There can be no assurance that the Board will adopt such rate increases as currently projected. There can be no assurance that the projected water sales revenues set forth above will be achieved. 34 The above projections also assume that there will be no changes in rates as a result of the challenge to the September 17, 2015 rate restructuring that is discussed under the caption “LITIGATION—Challenge to Rate Restructuring.” Future Water System Improvements The District projects total capital improvements to the Water System of approximately $20,200,000 over the current and next four Fiscal Years, including the construction of new wells and pipelines and an upgrade to the Fairmont Booster Pressure Reducing Station, among others. The District expects that the projected capital improvements will be funded by grants and Revenues remaining after payment of Debt Service. The District does not expect to enter into additional obligations payable from Net Revenues to finance such capital improvements. Completion of certain of the above-described capital improvements is expected to enable the District to pump groundwater from the Orange County Groundwater Basin up to the full BPP. See the caption “YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT—General.” WATER SYSTEM FINANCIAL INFORMATION Financial Statements A copy of the most recent financial statements of the District audited by White Nelson Diehl Evans LLP, Certified Public Accountants & Consultants, Irvine, California (the “Auditor”) are included as Appendix A hereto (the “Financial Statements”) and should be read in their entirety. The Auditor’s letter dated October __, 2016 is set forth therein. The Financial Statements are public documents and are included within this Official Statement without the prior approval of the Auditor. Accordingly, the Auditor has not performed any post-audit analysis of the financial condition of the District, nor has the Auditor reviewed or audited this Official Statement. The summary operating results contained under the caption “—Historic Operating Results and Debt Service Coverage” are derived from the Financial Statements and audited financial statements for prior Fiscal Years (excluding certain non-cash items and after certain other adjustments, including adjustments to reflect the receipt of certain development fees in a given Fiscal Year that the District’s audited financial statements display on an amortized basis over a 40-year period on the advice of the District’s Auditor). The summary operating results contained under the caption “—Historic Operating Results and Debt Service Coverage” are qualified in their entirety by reference to such statements, including the notes thereto. The Auditor has not reviewed or audited the summary operating results or any other portion of this Official Statement. The District accounts for moneys received and expenses paid in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to governmental agencies such as the District (“GAAP”). In certain cases, GAAP requires or permits moneys collected in one Fiscal Year to be recognized as revenue in a subsequent Fiscal Year and requires or permits expenses paid or incurred in one Fiscal Year to be recognized as expenses in a subsequent Fiscal Year. See Appendix A. Except as otherwise expressly noted herein, all financial information derived from the District’s audited financial statements reflects the application of GAAP. Recovery of Wildfire Settlement Payment In 2008, a firestorm known as the Freeway Complex Fire, the largest wildfire in the County in half a century, resulted in the destruction of several homes served by the District. Certain homeowners sued the District, alleging that the District’s water system failed to provide sufficient water for fire protection purposes. In 2012, after the District’s excess liability insurers denied coverage for the Freeway Complex Fire lawsuit, the District, with no admission of liability, paid $5,000,000 (the “Settlement Amount”) from District reserves as part 35 of a settlement with the plaintiff-homeowners. Under the settlement, the District joined with the plaintiff-homeowners in separate litigation against the District’s excess liability insurers (the “Coverage Litigation”) to recover the settlement amount. See the caption “YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT—District Insurance.” In 2014, the $5,000,000 Settlement Amount was fully reimbursed to the District after a partial settlement of the Coverage Litigation. The claims of the District and its primary insurance provider were fully satisfied by the Coverage Litigation settlement and they were dismissed from the litigation, which continued between the plaintiff-homeowners and the excess insurance carriers. The District is protected from any further financial liability arising from the Freeway Complex Fire litigation and the Coverage Litigation. The historic Water System operating results set forth in Table 15 under the caption “—Historic Operating Results and Debt Service Coverage” do not reflect the payment of the Settlement Amount in Fiscal Year 2012 because the Settlement Amount was not paid from operating Revenues or Net Revenues of the Water System. Investment of District Funds The District invests its funds in accordance with Resolution No. 16-06 of the District entitled “Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Yorba Linda Water District Setting Forth Public Funds Investment Policy and Rescinding Resolution 15-03” adopted on June 9, 2016 (the “District Investment Policy”). The District Investment Policy sets forth the policies and procedures applicable to the investment of District funds and designates eligible investments. The District Investment Policy also sets forth stated objectives, including the assurance of the safety of invested funds, the maintenance of sufficient liquidity and the attainment of the best yield or returns on investments. The Board has delegated the authority for investing the funds of the District to the General Manager. Such authority is subject to renewal each year. The General Manager is authorized to designate representatives to manage the funds of the District and has designated such authority to the Finance Manager of the District and the Senior Accountant of the District. The District Investment Policy provides a number of permitted investment categories authorized under State law. The permitted investment categories include the following: (i) Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation- or Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation-insured or collateralized obligations of banks or savings and loan institutions; (ii) certificates of deposit issued by financial institutions which maintain a rating equivalent of “A” or higher by one of the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”) up to a maximum of $250,000 and a maximum maturity of 5 years, provided that the maximum investment in this category does not exceed 30% of the investment portfolio in the aggregate; (iii) the State Local Agency Investment Fund; (iv) the Orange County Treasurer’s Commingled Investment Pool; (v) the California Asset Management Program, limited to bond proceeds; (vi) treasury bills, notes and bonds, with maturities not to exceed five years; (vii) obligations issued by federal agencies and United States government-sponsored enterprises, such as the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Land Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank, with maturities not to exceed five years, and provided that the maximum investment in this category does not exceed 50% of the investment portfolio in the aggregate; (viii) corporate bonds rated “A” or its equivalent or better by an NRSRO, provided that the maximum maturity is limited to five years and the maximum investment in this category does not exceed 30% of the investment portfolio in the aggregate; (ix) banker’s acceptances, provided that the maximum term does not to exceed 180 days and the maximum investment in this category does not exceed 10% of the investment portfolio in the aggregate; (x) commercial paper, provided that the corporation has assets in excess of $500,000,000 and its commercial paper is rated “a-1” or higher by an NRSRO and that the investment matures in 270 days or less, and provided that the maximum investment in this category does not exceed 25% of the investment portfolio in aggregate; (xi) the Investment Trust of California; and (xii) Money Market Funds. The Board may revise the District Investment Policy from time to time. As of June 30, 2016 (excluding reserves for the Series 2008 Certificates and for conservation), the District had funds invested in the amount of $37,585,880 in authorized investments under the District Investment 36 Policy, summarized as follows: money market securities ($600,354), government securities of the Federal Home Loan Bank ($2,002,581), certificates of deposit ($5,285,663), investment trusts in CalTrust Short Term ($4,642) and CalTrust Medium Term ($19,831,487) and the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund ($9,861,153). As of June 30, 2016 (excluding reserves for the Series 2008 Certificates and for conservation), approximately 81% of the $33,980,625 in District reserves was attributable to the Water System, including an operating reserve ($4,132,257), an emergency reserve ($1,042,888), a capital project reserve ($25,509,971), a debt service reserve ($2,723,509), an employee liability reserve ($372,000) and a maintenance reserve ($200,000).

See the caption “WATER SUPPLY—Drought Proclamation.” (5) Increase in Fiscal Year 2016 reflects rate restructuring, including increase in base fixed service charge, effective October 1, 2015. See the caption “—Water System Rates and Charges.” Source: District. Projected Operating Results and Debt Service Coverage The following table sets forth the projected operating results of the Water System of the District for the current and next four Fiscal Years, reflecting certain significant assumptions concerning future events and circumstances. The financial forecast represents the District’s estimate of projected financial results based on several significant assumptions, including the assumptions set forth in the footnotes to the chart set forth below, the assumed continuation of the current conservation efforts under the Drought Ordinance described under the caption “WATER SUPPLY—Drought Proclamation” through Fiscal Year 2017 and no reductions in rates as a result of the challenge to the September 17, 2015 rate restructuring that is discussed under the caption “LITIGATION—Challenge to Rate Restructuring.” All of such assumptions are material in the development of the District’s financial projections, and variations in the assumptions may produce substantially different financial results. Although the District believes these projections to be reasonable, actual operating results achieved during the projection period may vary from those presented in the forecast and such variations may be material.

Future water rate increases for Fiscal Years 2018 and thereafter have not yet been authorized. Such rate increases are subject to the notice, public hearing and protest provisions of Proposition 218.

CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATIONS ON APPROPRIATIONS AND CHARGES Article XIIIB Article XIIIB of the State Constitution limits the annual appropriations of the State and of any city, county, school district, authority or other political subdivision of the State to the level of appropriations of the particular governmental entity for the prior fiscal year, as adjusted for changes in the cost of living and population. The “base year” for establishing such appropriation limit is the 1978-79 State fiscal year, and the limit is to be adjusted annually to reflect changes in population and consumer prices. Adjustments in the appropriations limit of an entity may also be made if: (i) the financial responsibility for a service is transferred to another public entity or to a private entity; (ii) the financial source for the provision of services is transferred from taxes to other revenues; or (iii) the voters of the entity approve a change in the limit for a period of time not to exceed four years. Appropriations that are subject to Article XIIIB generally include the proceeds of taxes levied by or for the State or other entity of local government, exclusive of certain State subventions, refunds of taxes and benefit payments from retirement, unemployment, insurance and disability insurance funds. “Proceeds of taxes” include, but are not limited to, all tax revenues and the proceeds to an entity of government from: (1) regulatory licenses, user charges, and user fees (but only to the extent such proceeds exceed the cost reasonably borne by the entity in providing the service or regulation); and (2) the investment of tax revenues. Article XIIIB includes a requirement that if an entity’s revenues in any year exceed the amounts permitted to be spent, the excess would have to be returned by revising tax rates or fee schedules over the subsequent two years. Certain expenditures are excluded from the appropriations limit, including payments of indebtedness existing or legally authorized as of January 1, 1979, or of bonded indebtedness thereafter approved by a vote of electors of the issuing entity and payments required to comply with court or federal mandates which without discretion require an expenditure for additional services or which unavoidably make the providing of existing services more costly. The District is of the opinion that its water charges do not exceed the costs it reasonably bears in providing such services and therefore are not subject to the limits of Article XIIIB. The District has covenanted in the Indenture, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to fix and prescribe, at the commencement of each Fiscal Year, rates and charges for the Water Service which are reasonably expected, at the commencement of each 39 Fiscal Year, to be at least sufficient to yield during each Fiscal Year Net Revenues equal to 125% of Debt Service on the 2016A Bonds and other Bonds and Contracts for such Fiscal Year. See the caption “SECURITY FOR THE 2016A BONDS—Rate Covenant.” Proposition 218 General. An initiative measure entitled the “Right to Vote on Taxes Act” (the “Initiative”) was approved by the voters of the State at the November 5, 1996 general election. The Initiative added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the State Constitution. According to the “Title and Summary” of the Initiative prepared by the State Attorney General, the Initiative limits “the authority of local governments to impose taxes and property- related assessments, fees and charges.” Article XIIID. Article XIIID defines the terms “fee” and “charge” to mean “any levy other than an ad valorem tax, a special tax or an assessment, imposed by an agency upon a parcel or upon a person as an incident of property ownership, including user fees or charges for a property-related service.” A “property-related service” is defined as “a public service having a direct relationship to property ownership.” Article XIIID further provides that reliance by an agency on any parcel map (including an assessor’s parcel map) may be considered a significant factor in determining whether a fee or charge is imposed as an incident of property ownership. Article XIIID requires that any agency imposing or increasing any property-related fee or charge must provide written notice thereof to the record owner of each identified parcel upon which such fee or charge is to be imposed and must conduct a public hearing with respect thereto. The proposed fee or charge may not be imposed or increased if a majority of owners of the identified parcels file written protests against it. As a result, if and to the extent that a fee or charge imposed by a local government for water service is ultimately determined to be a “fee” or “charge” as defined in Article XIIID, the local government’s ability to increase such fee or charge may be limited by a majority protest. In addition, Article XIIID includes a number of limitations applicable to existing fees and charges, including provisions to the effect that: (i) revenues derived from the fee or charge shall not exceed the funds required to provide the property-related service; (ii) such revenues shall not be used for any purpose other than that for which the fee or charge was imposed; (iii) the amount of a fee or charge imposed upon any parcel or person as an incident of property ownership shall not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to the parcel; and (iv) no such fee or charge may be imposed for a service unless that service is actually used by, or immediately available to, the owner of the property in question. Property-related fees or charges based on potential or future use of a service are not permitted. Based upon the State Court of Appeal decision in Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association v. City of Los Angeles, 85 Cal. App. 4th 79 (2000), which was denied review by the State Supreme Court, it was generally believed that Article XIIID did not apply to charges for water services that are “primarily based on the amount consumed” (i.e., metered water rates), which had been held to be commodity charges related to consumption of the service, not property ownership. The Supreme Court ruled in Bighorn-Desert View Water Agency v. Verjil, 39 Cal.4th 205 (2006) (the “Bighorn Case”), however, that fees for ongoing water service through an existing connection were property-related fees and charges. The Supreme Court specifically disapproved the holding in Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association v. City of Los Angeles that metered water rates are not subject to Proposition 218. The District has complied with the notice, hearing and protest procedures in Article XIIID with respect to water rate increases, as further explained by the State Supreme Court decision in the Bighorn Case, since 2007. On April 20, 2015, the California Court of Appeal, Fourth District, issued an opinion in Capistrano Taxpayers Association, Inc. v. City of San Juan Capistrano, 235 Cal. App. 4th 1493 (2015) (the “SJC Case”) upholding tiered water rates under Proposition 218 provided that the tiers correspond to the actual cost of furnishing service at a given level of usage. The opinion was specific to the facts of the case, including a finding 40 that the City of San Juan Capistrano did not attempt to calculate the actual costs of providing water at various tier levels. The District’s water rates, which are described under the caption “THE WATER SYSTEM—Water System Rates and Charges,” do not currently include tiered rates based on usage. See the caption “WATER SUPPLY—Drought Proclamation—District Response to Drought” for a description of additional charges that are currently imposed on customers for water use in excess of certain tier levels in light of the Statewide drought. The District does not currently expect the decision in the SJC Case to affect its water rate structure. The District believes that its current water rates comply with the requirements of Proposition 218 and expects that any future water rate increases will comply with Proposition 218’s procedural and substantive requirements to the extent applicable thereto. Article XIIIC. Article XIIIC provides that the initiative power shall not be prohibited or otherwise limited in matters of reducing or repealing any local tax, assessment, fee or charge and that the power of initiative to affect local taxes, assessments, fees and charges shall be applicable to all local governments. On July 24, 2006, the State Supreme Court held in the Bighorn Case that the provisions of Article XIIIC applied to rates and fees charged for domestic water use. In the decision, the Court noted that it was not addressing whether an initiative to reduce fees and charges could override statutory rate setting obligations. In any event, the District and its general counsel do not believe that Article XIIIC grants to the voters within the District the power (whether by initiative under Article XIIIC or otherwise, or by referendum, which is not authorized under Article XIIC) to repeal or reduce rates and charges in a manner that would be inconsistent with the contractual obligations of the District or the obligation of the District to maintain and operate the Water System. See the caption “LITIGATION—Challenge to Rate Restructuring” for a discussion of a petition to repeal the District’s September 17, 2015 water rate restructuring. There can be no assurance of the availability of particular remedies adequate to protect the beneficial owners of the 2016A Bonds. Remedies that are available to beneficial owners of the 2016A Bonds in the event of a default by the District are dependent upon judicial actions which are often subject to discretion, and delay and could prove both expensive and time-consuming to obtain. In addition to the specific limitations on remedies contained in the applicable documents themselves, the right and obligation with respect to the Indenture is subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights, to the application of equitable principles if equitable remedies are sought, and to the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases and to limitations on legal remedies against public agencies in the State. The various opinions of counsel to be delivered with respect to such documents, including the opinion of Bond Counsel (the form of which is attached as Appendix C), will be similarly qualified. The District believes that its current water rates and land based charges comply with the requirements of Proposition 218 and expects that any future water rates and land based charges will comply with Proposition 218’s procedural and substantive requirements to the extent applicable thereto. Future Initiatives Articles XIIIB, XIIIC and XIIID were adopted as a measure that qualified for the ballot pursuant to the State’s initiative process. From time to time other initiatives could be proposed and adopted affecting the District’s revenues or ability to increase revenues. APPROVAL OF LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The valid, legal and binding nature of the 2016A Bonds is subject to the approval of Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, a Professional Corporation, acting as Bond Counsel. The form of such legal opinion is attached as Appendix C, and such legal opinion will be attached to each 2016A Bond. Certain matters will be passed upon for the District by Kidman Law LLP, Irvine, California, general counsel to the District, and by Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, a Professional Corporation, as Disclosure Counsel, for the Underwriter by its counsel, Ballard Spahr LLP, and for the Trustee by its counsel. 41 LITIGATION General There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, before or by any court, regulatory agency, public board or body, pending or, to the knowledge of the District, threatened against the District affecting the existence of the District or the titles of its directors or officers to their respective offices or seeking to restrain or to enjoin the sale or issuance of the 2016A Bonds, the application of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the Indenture, or in any way contesting or affecting the validity or enforceability of the 2016A Bonds, the Indenture, or any action of the District contemplated by any of said documents, or in any way contesting the completeness or accuracy of this Official Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, or contesting the powers of the District or its authority with respect to the 2016A Bonds or any action of the District contemplated by any of said documents, nor to the knowledge of the District, is there any basis therefor. Challenge to Rate Restructuring On January 12, 2016, Kent Ebinger, an individual, and the Yorba Linda Taxpayers Association, a nonprofit association (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”), filed a complaint and petition for writ of mandate (collectively, the “Petition”) against the District in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange (the “Superior Court”). The purpose of the Petition was to obtain a writ of mandate to compel the District to comply with the terms of a purported referendum petition challenging the water rate restructuring that was adopted on September 17, 2015, as discussed under the caption “THE WATER SYSTEM—Water System Rates and Charges.” The purported referendum petition, which was previously rejected by the Board as invalid on November 5, 2015, sought to require the District either to repeal the District’s rate restructuring or to submit the rate restructuring to the voters of the District to accept or repeal. The Petition did not seek court determination of the procedural or substantive validity of the District’s water rate structure, per se, under State law. On July 25, 2016, the Superior Court denied the Petition and ruled in favor of the District, ruling that the District’s rate restructuring is not subject to a referendum because such a referendum would interfere with the District’s revenue necessary to provide essential government service (i.e. water and sewer service). The Superior Court entered judgment in favor of the District on August 5, 2016. The deadline for the Plaintiffs to challenge the ruling by motion expired on August 22, 2016, and the deadline for the Plaintiffs to file an appeal is October 4, 2016[; to date, no appeal has been filed]. If the Plaintiffs appeal the ruling, there can be no assurance that an appellate court will not rule in favor of the Plaintiffs, nor can there be any assurance as to the timing of a final decision. In the event that the Plaintiffs ultimately prevail on their claims, it is possible that the District could be compelled to repeal the District’s rate structure or, in the alternative, to place the District’s rate structure before the voters of the District. If the rate structure is repealed by the District or disapproved by the voters, the status of Revenues received since September 17, 2015 as a result of the revised rate structure is uncertain. Such actions could reduce the amount of Revenues that are pledged to payment of the 2016A Bonds and cause debt service coverage to fall below the amounts projected herein. Table 11 under the caption “THE WATER SYSTEM—Projected Water Sales Revenues” and Table 16 under the caption “WATER SYSTEM FINANCIAL INFORMATION—Projected Operating Results and Debt Service Coverage” assume that there will be no reduction in the District’s water rates as a result of the Petition. TAX MATTERS In the opinion of Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, a Professional Corporation, Newport Beach, California, Bond Counsel, under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions, and assuming the accuracy of certain representations and compliance with certain covenants and requirements described herein, interest (and original issue discount) on the 2016A Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of calculating the federal alternative minimum tax 42 imposed on individuals and corporations. In the further opinion of Bond Counsel, interest (and original issue discount) on the 2016A Bonds is exempt from State of California personal income tax. Bond Counsel notes that, with respect to corporations, interest on the 2016A Bonds may be included as an adjustment in the calculation of alternative minimum taxable income, which may affect the alternative minimum tax liability of such corporations. Bond Counsel’s opinion as to the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest (and original issue discount) on the 2016A Bonds is based upon certain representations of fact and certifications made by the District and others and is subject to the condition that the District complies with all requirements of the Code that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the 2016A Bonds to assure that interest (and original issue discount) on the 2016A Bonds will not become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. Failure to comply with such requirements of the Code might cause interest (and original issue discount) on the 2016A Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of issuance of the 2016A Bonds. The District has covenanted to comply with all such requirements. In the opinion of Bond Counsel, the difference between the issue price of a 2016A Bond (the first price at which a substantial amount of the 2016A Bonds of a maturity is to be sold to the public) and the stated redemption price at maturity of such 2016A Bond constitutes original issue discount. Original issue discount accrues under a constant yield method, and original issue discount will accrue to a Beneficial Owner before receipt of cash attributable to such excludable income. The amount of original issue discount deemed received by a Beneficial Owner will increase the Beneficial Owner’s basis in the applicable 2016A Bond. The amount of original issue discount that accrues to the Beneficial Owner of a 2016A Bond is excluded from the gross income of such Beneficial Owner for federal income tax purposes, is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations, and is exempt from State of California personal income tax. The amount by which a 2016A Bond Owner’s original basis for determining loss on sale or exchange in the applicable 2016A Bond (generally, the purchase price) exceeds the amount payable on maturity (or on an earlier call date) constitutes amortizable bond premium, which must be amortized under Section 171 of the Code; such amortizable bond premium reduces the 2016A Bond Owner’s basis in the applicable 2016A Bond (and the amount of tax-exempt interest received with respect to the 2016A Bonds), and is not deductible for federal income tax purposes. The basis reduction as a result of the amortization of bond premium may result in a 2016A Bond Owner realizing a taxable gain when a 2016A Bond is sold by the Owner for an amount equal to or less (under certain circumstances) than the original cost of the 2016A Bond to the Owner. Purchasers of the 2016A Bonds should consult their own tax advisors as to the treatment, computation and collateral consequences of amortizable bond premium. The Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has initiated an expanded program for the auditing of tax-exempt bond issues, including both random and targeted audits. It is possible that the 2016A Bonds will be selected for audit by the IRS. It is also possible that the market value of the 2016A Bonds might be affected as a result of such an audit of the 2016A Bonds (or by an audit of similar municipal obligations). No assurance can be given that in the course of an audit, as a result of an audit, or otherwise, Congress or the IRS might not change the Code (or interpretation thereof) subsequent to the issuance of the 2016A Bonds to the extent that it adversely affects the exclusion from gross income of interest (and original issue discount) on the 2016A Bonds or their market value. SUBSEQUENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE 2016A BONDS, THERE MIGHT BE FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL STATUTORY CHANGES (OR JUDICIAL OR REGULATORY INTERPRETATIONS OF FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL LAW) THAT AFFECT THE FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL TAX TREATMENT OF THE 2016A BONDS OR THE MARKET VALUE OF THE 2016A BONDS. LEGISLATIVE CHANGES HAVE BEEN PROPOSED IN CONGRESS, WHICH, IF ENACTED, WOULD RESULT IN ADDITIONAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX BEING IMPOSED ON CERTAIN OWNERS OF TAX-EXEMPT STATE OR LOCAL OBLIGATIONS, SUCH AS THE 2016A BONDS. THE 43 INTRODUCTION OR ENACTMENT OF ANY OF SUCH CHANGES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET VALUE OR LIQUIDITY OF THE 2016A BONDS. NO ASSURANCE CAN BE GIVEN THAT, SUBSEQUENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE 2016A BONDS, SUCH CHANGES (OR OTHER CHANGES) WILL NOT BE INTRODUCED OR ENACTED OR INTERPRETATIONS WILL NOT OCCUR. BEFORE PURCHASING ANY OF THE 2016A BONDS, ALL POTENTIAL PURCHASERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING POSSIBLE STATUTORY CHANGES OR JUDICIAL OR REGULATORY CHANGES OR INTERPRETATIONS, AND THEIR COLLATERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RELATING TO THE 2016A BONDS. Bond Counsel’s opinions may be affected by actions taken (or not taken) or events occurring (or not occurring) after the date hereof. Bond Counsel has not undertaken to determine, or to inform any person, whether any such actions or events are taken or do occur. The Indenture and the Tax Certificate relating to the 2016A Bonds permit certain actions to be taken or to be omitted if a favorable opinion of Bond Counsel is provided with respect thereto. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion as to the effect on the exclusion from gross income of interest (and original issue discount) for federal income tax purposes with respect to any 2016A Bond if any such action is taken or omitted based upon the advice of counsel other than Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, a Professional Corporation. Although Bond Counsel has rendered an opinion that interest (and original issue discount) on the 2016A Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes provided that the District continues to comply with certain requirements of the Code, the ownership of the 2016A Bonds and the accrual or receipt of interest (and original issue discount) on the 2016A Bonds may otherwise affect the tax liability of certain persons. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any such tax consequences. Accordingly, before purchasing any of the 2016A Bonds, all potential purchasers should consult their tax advisors with respect to collateral tax consequences relating to the 2016A Bonds. Should interest (and original issue discount) on the 2016A Bonds become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes, the 2016A Bonds are not subject to early redemption or an increase in interest rates and will remain outstanding until maturity or until redeemed in accordance with the Indenture. A complete copy of the proposed opinion of Bond Counsel is set forth in Appendix C. FINANCIAL ADVISOR The District has retained Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates, Irvine, California, as financial advisor (the “Financial Advisor”) in connection with the issuance of the 2016A Bonds. The Financial Advisor has not undertaken to make an independent verification or to assume responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or fairness of the information contained in this Official Statement. The Financial Advisor is an independent advisory firm and is not engaged in the business of underwriting, trading or distributing municipal or other public securities. RATINGS The District expects that S&P Global Ratings, a Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC business (“S&P”), will assign the 2016A Bonds the rating of “___” and that Fitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”) will assign the 2016A Bonds the rating of “___”. There is no assurance that any credit rating given to the 2016A Bonds will be maintained for any period of time or that the ratings may not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by S&P or Fitch, respectively, if, in the judgment of S&P or Fitch, as applicable, circumstances so warrant. Any downward revision or withdrawal of such ratings may have an adverse effect on the market price of the 2016A Bonds. Such ratings reflect only the views of S&P and Fitch, respectively, and an explanation of the significance of such ratings may be obtained from S&P and Fitch, as applicable. Generally, rating agencies base their ratings on information and materials furnished to them (which may include information and material from the District that is not included in this Official Statement) and on investigations, studies and assumptions by the rating agencies. 44 UNDERWRITING The 2016A Bonds will be purchased by Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (the “Underwriter”) pursuant to an agreement, dated the date hereof, by and between the District and the Underwriter (the “Purchase Contract”). Under the Purchase Contract, the Underwriter has agreed to purchase all, but not less than all, of the 2016A Bonds for an aggregate purchase price of $_____ (representing the principal amount of the 2016A Bonds, less an Underwriter’s discount of $______, plus/less a net original issue premium/discount of $______). The Purchase Contract provides that the Underwriter will purchase all of the 2016A Bonds if any are purchased, the obligation to make such a purchase being subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Contract, the approval of certain legal matters by counsel and certain other conditions. The initial public offering prices stated on the inside front cover of this Official Statement may be changed from time to time by the Underwriter. The Underwriter may offer and sell the 2016A Bonds to certain dealers (including dealers depositing 2016A Bonds into investment trusts), dealer banks, banks acting as agents and others at prices lower than said public offering prices. The Underwriter has entered into a retail distribution agreement with each of TMC Bonds L.L.C. (“TMC”) and UBS Financial Services Inc. (“UBSFS”). Under these distribution agreements, the Underwriter may distribute municipal securities to retail investors through the financial advisor network of UBSFS and the electronic primary offering platform of TMC. As part of this arrangement, the Underwriter may compensate TMC (and TMC may compensate its electronic platform member firms) and UBSFS for their selling efforts with respect to the 2016A Bonds. The Underwriter and its affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The Underwriter and its affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various investment banking services for the District for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses. In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the Underwriter and its affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (which may include bank loans and/or credit default swaps) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and may at any time hold long and short positions in such securities and instruments. Such investment and securities activities may involve securities and instruments of the District. CONTINUING DISCLOSURE UNDERTAKING The District has covenanted in a Continuing Disclosure Certificate for the benefit of the holders and beneficial owners of the 2016A Bonds to provide certain financial information and operating data relating to the District by not later than each April 1 following the end of the District’s Fiscal Year (currently its Fiscal Year ends on June 30) (the “Annual Report”), commencing with the Annual Report for the Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2016 [(provided that the first Annual Report will consist solely of this Official Statement)], and to provide notices of the occurrence of certain enumerated events. The Annual Report and the notices of enumerated events will be filed by the District with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board’s Electronic Municipal Market Access System. The specific nature of the information to be contained in the Annual Report and the notice of enumerated events is set forth in Appendix E. These covenants have been made in order to assist the Underwriter in complying with Section (b)(5) of Rule 15c2-12 adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although the District has covenanted in the Continuing Disclosure Certificate to provide notice of rating changes with respect to the 2016A Bonds, information relating to rating changes may be publicly available from the rating agencies prior to such information being provided to the District and prior to the date by which the District is obligated to file a notice of rating change. Owners of the 2016A Bonds are directed to the rating agencies and official media outlets for the most current rating information with respect to the 2016A Bonds. 45 [DISCUSSION OF PRIOR COMPLIANCE TO COME] Except as set forth in the previous sentence, the District has not failed to comply with the terms of its prior continuing disclosure undertakings in the last five years in any material respect. [REMAINDER OF PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK] 46 MISCELLANEOUS Insofar as any statements made in this Official Statement involve matters of opinion or estimates, whether or not expressly stated, they are set forth as such and not as representations of fact. No representation is made that any of such statements made will be realized. Neither this Official Statement nor any statement which may have been made verbally or in writing is to be construed as a contract with the Owners of the 2016A Bonds. The execution and delivery of this Official Statement have been duly authorized by the District. YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT By: President APPENDIX A YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS B-1 APPENDIX B DEFINITIONS AND SUMMARY OF THE INDENTURE The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Indenture which are not described elsewhere. This summary does not purport to be comprehensive and reference should be made to the Indenture for a full and complete statement of the provisions thereof. [TO COME] C-1 APPENDIX C FORM OF OPINION OF BOND COUNSEL Upon the issuance of the 2016A Bonds, Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, a Professional Corporation, Bond Counsel, proposes to render its final approving opinion in substantially the following form: _____ __, 2016 Yorba Linda Water District 1717 East Miraloma Avenue Placentia, California 92870 Re: Yorba Linda Water District Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2016A Members of the Board of Directors: We have examined a certified copy of the record of the proceedings of the Yorba Linda Water District (the “District”) relative to the issuance of the $___________ Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2016A, dated the date hereof (the “2016A Bonds”), and such other information and documents as we consider necessary to render this opinion. In rendering this opinion, we have relied upon certain representations of fact and certifications made by the District, the initial purchaser of the 2016A Bonds and others. We have not undertaken to verify through independent investigation the accuracy of the representations and certifications relied upon by us. The 2016A Bonds are being issued pursuant to an Indenture of Trust, dated as of _____ 1, 2016 (the “Indenture”), by and between the District and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The 2016A Bonds mature on the date and in the amount referenced in the Indenture. The 2016A Bonds are dated their date of delivery and bear interest at the rates per annum referenced in the Indenture. The 2016A Bonds are registered in the form set forth in the Indenture. Based on our examination as Bond Counsel of existing law, certified copies of such legal proceedings and such other proofs as we deem necessary to render this opinion, we are of the opinion, as of the date hereof and under existing law, that: 1. The proceedings of the District show lawful authority for the issuance and sale of the 2016A Bonds under the laws of the State of California now in force, and the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the District, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee, as appropriate, the 2016A Bonds and the Indenture are valid and binding obligations of the District enforceable against the District in accordance with their terms. 2. The obligation of the District to make the payments of principal of and interest on the 2016A Bonds from Net Revenues (as such term is defined in the Indenture) is an enforceable obligation of the District and does not constitute an indebtedness of the District in contravention of any constitutional or statutory debt limit or restriction. 3. Under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions, and assuming the accuracy of certain representations and compliance with certain covenants and requirements described herein, interest (and original issue discount) on the 2016A Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of calculating the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations. It should be noted that, with respect to corporations, such interest (and original issue discount) may be included as an adjustment in the calculation of alternative minimum taxable income, which may affect the alternative minimum tax liability of such corporations. 4. Interest (and original issue discount) on the 2016A Bonds is exempt from State of California personal income tax. C-2 5. The difference between the issue price of a 2016A Bond (the first price at which a substantial amount of the 2016A Bonds of the same series and maturity is to be sold to the public) and the stated redemption price at maturity with respect to such 2016A Bonds constitutes original issue discount. Original issue discount accrues under a constant yield method, and original issue discount will accrue to a 2016A Bond Owner before receipt of cash attributable to such excludable income. The amount of original issue discount deemed received by the 2016A Bond Owner will increase the 2016A Bond Owner’s basis in the 2016A Bond. In the opinion of Bond Counsel, the amount of original issue discount that accrues to the owner of the 2016A Bond is excluded from the gross income of such owner for federal income tax purposes, is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations, and is exempt from State of California personal income tax. 6. The amount by which a 2016A Bond Owner’s original basis for determining loss on sale or exchange in the applicable 2016A Bond (generally, the purchase price) exceeds the amount payable on maturity (or on an earlier call date) constitutes amortizable bond premium, which must be amortized under Section 171 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); such amortizable bond premium reduces the 2016A Bond Owner’s basis in the applicable 2016A Bond (and the amount of tax-exempt interest received), and is not deductible for federal income tax purposes. The basis reduction as a result of the amortization of 2016A Bond premium may result in a 2016A Bond Owner realizing a taxable gain when a 2016A Bond is sold by the Owner for an amount equal to or less (under certain circumstances) than the original cost of the 2016A Bond to the Owner. Purchasers of the 2016A Bonds should consult their own tax advisors as to the treatment, computation and collateral consequences of amortizable bond premium. The opinions expressed herein as to the exclusion from gross income of interest on the 2016A Bonds are based upon certain representations of fact and certifications made by the District and are subject to the condition that the District comply with all requirements of the Code that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the 2016A Bonds to assure that such interest (and original issue discount) on the 2016A Bonds will not become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. Failure to comply with such requirements of the Code might cause interest (and original issue discount) on the 2016A Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of issuance of the 2016A Bonds. The District has covenanted to comply with all such requirements. The opinions expressed herein may be affected by actions taken (or not taken) or events occurring (or not occurring) after the date hereof. We have not undertaken to determine, or to inform any person, whether any such actions or events are taken or do occur. The Indenture and the Tax Certificate relating to the 2016A Bonds permit certain actions to be taken or to be omitted if a favorable opinion of Bond Counsel is provided with respect thereto. No opinion is expressed herein as to the effect on the exclusion from gross income of interest (and original issue discount) on the 2016A Bonds for federal income tax purposes with respect to any 2016A Bond if any such action is taken or omitted based upon the opinion or advice of counsel other than ourselves. Other than as expressly stated herein, we express no other opinion regarding tax consequences with respect to the 2016A Bonds. The opinions expressed herein are based upon our analysis and interpretation of existing laws, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions and cover certain matters not directly addressed by such authorities. We call attention to the fact that the rights and obligations under the Indenture and the 2016A Bonds are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights, to the application of equitable principles if equitable remedies are sought, to the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases and to limitations on legal remedies against public agencies in the State of California. Our opinion is limited to matters governed by the laws of the State of California and federal law. We assume no responsibility with respect to the applicability or the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction. We express no opinion herein as to the accuracy, completeness or sufficiency of the Official Statement relating to the 2016A Bonds or other offering material relating to the 2016A Bonds and expressly disclaim any duty to advise the owners of the 2016A Bonds with respect to matters contained in the Official Statement. Respectfully submitted, D-1 APPENDIX D INFORMATION CONCERNING DTC The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry only system has been obtained from sources that the District believes to be reliable, but the District takes no responsibility for the completeness or accuracy thereof. The following description of the procedures and record keeping with respect to beneficial ownership interests in the 2016A Bonds, payment of principal, premium, if any, accreted value, if any, and interest on the 2016A Bonds to DTC Participants or Beneficial Owners, confirmation and transfers of beneficial ownership interests in the 2016A Bonds and other related transactions by and between DTC, the DTC Participants and the Beneficial Owners is based solely on information provided by DTC. The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, NY, will act as securities depository for the 2016A Bonds. The 2016A Bonds will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered 2016A Bond will be issued for each annual maturity of the 2016A Bonds, each in the aggregate principal amount of such annual maturity, and will be deposited with DTC. DTC, the world’s largest securities depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC is rated AA+ by Standard & Poor’s. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com. Purchases of 2016A Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the 2016A Bonds on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each 2016A Bonds (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the 2016A Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive bonds representing their ownership interests in 2016A Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the 2016A Bonds is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all 2016A Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of 2016A Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the 2016A Bonds; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such 2016A Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. D-2 Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of 2016A Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the 2016A Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the 2016A Bonds documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of 2016A Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the 2016A Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the 2016A Bonds within a maturity are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such maturity to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to 2016A Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the District as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts 2016A Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the 2016A Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the District or the Trustee, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Trustee, or the District, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the District or the Trustee, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. A 2016A Bond Owner shall give notice to elect to have its 2016A Bonds purchased or tendered, through its Participant, to the Trustee, and shall effect delivery of such 2016A Bond by causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Participant’s interest in the 2016A Bonds, on DTC’s records, to the Trustee. The requirement for physical delivery of 2016A Bond in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the 2016A Bond are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book-entry credit of tendered 2016A Bond to the Trustee’s DTC account. DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the 2016A Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the District or the Trustee. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, physical certificates are required to be printed and delivered.

Dated: _____ __, 2016 YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT By: Its: President ITEM NO. 8.2 AGENDA REPORT Meeting Date: September 8, 2016 Budgeted:Yes Total Budget:$61,000 To:Board of Directors Cost Estimate:$56,383 Funding Source:All Funds From:Marc Marcantonio, General Manager Presented By:John DeCriscio, Operations Manager Dept:Operations Reviewed by Legal:N/A Prepared By:John DeCriscio, Operations Manager CEQA Compliance:N/A Subject:Vehicle Replacement Purchases for the Engineering and Operations Departments SUMMARY: In the 2016-17 District Capital Outlay Budget, funds were approved to purchase replacement vehicles for the Engineering and Operations Departments. In compliance with the District’s purchasing policy, staff drafted specifications for each vehicle and requested quotes from multiple dealerships. The following dealerships were sent the specifications and responded with quotes: George Chevrolet, Guaranty Chevrolet, Simpson Chevrolet, Fairway Ford, Ken Grody Ford and Villa Ford. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Directors authorize the General Manager to purchase two vehicles from George Chevrolet for the total amount of $56,383. DISCUSSION: Prior to requesting quotes for vehicle purchases, the District’s Mechanical Services Division met with each department to confirm their vehicle needs listed in the approved budget. It was determined that a full size ½ ton pickup truck for Engineering and a mid-size light duty pickup for Operations would meet their department’s needs. Below is a list of each vehicle by department and the cost quote from the dealerships for the full purchase price for each vehicle. The cost for both vehicles is below the funds approved in the 2016- 17 District Capital Outlay Budget. The vehicle that will be replaced is also listed, including current year and mileage. 1. Engineering requested a full size pickup to replace unit #155, which is a 2003 full size Ford F150 with 72,000 miles. Unit #155 will be transferred to the Operations field crew and unit #170, a 2005 GMC Sierra with over 108,000 miles, will become surplus. The approved funds for this vehicle are $32,000. George Chevrolet: $30,227.93 Fairway Ford: $31,789.75 Villa Ford: $32,130.10 Ken Grody Ford: $32,362.00 Simpson GMC: $36,818.23 Guaranty Chevrolet: $39,783 The low quote is George Chevrolet for a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado.

Operations requested a mid-size light duty pickup truck to replace unit #177, a 2007 Ford Ranger pickup with 85,000 miles. Unit #177 was recently involved in a collision and was declared a total loss by the Districts insurance provider, ACWA/JPIA. The District received a settlement of approximately $10,000 from ACWA/JPIA which will be used to offset the purchase of the new vehicle. The approved funds for this vehicle are $29,000. George Chevrolet: $26,155.07 Guaranty Chevrolet $27,006.85 Simpson GMC: $27,826.15 The low quote is George Chevrolet for a 2017 Chevrolet Colorado.

The YLWD/City Council Joint Advisory Committee approved the minutes of the July 27, 2016 meeting. DISCUSSION ITEMS 2.Drought Response, Water Conservation/Administrative Penalty Ordinances, and Community Outreach Efforts General Manager Marc Marcantonio stated that the District received verification that their self-certification was approved by the State at a 0% conservation goal. He noted that we are still in a declared State of Emergency for Drought through January 31, 2017 and reminded everyone that our self-imposed Conservation Goal remains at 10%. General Manager Marcantonio announced that a new Urban Advisory Workgroup (UAW) has been formed by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) to develop “long-term water conservation rules in response to Executive Order B-37-16.” The local representatives will be Joe Berg of Municipal Water District of Orange County and Joone Lopez General Manager of Moulton Niguel Water District. Julia Lawson, resident, suggested the City provide contact information on its website to the SWRCB and UAW. 3.Options for Use of District’s Administrative Penalties General Manager Marcantonio said that the District was still funding conservation positions with the penalty monies and did not suggest disposing of it until the State of Emergency ends. He made several suggestions of how the funds can be used including for water conservation rebates, smart timer purchases, AMI technology, water conservation software, conservation education, customer leak detection education or equipment and services. He emphasized that the monies should be used for the community’s benefit. 4.Water Conservation Programs and Incentives for District Customers General Manager Marcantonio announced that the District would be holding a series of workshops in the Spring on their Strategic Plan which will address water conservation programs. Upon the request of Mayor Tom Lindsey, Public Works Director/City Engineer Michael Wolfe explained the different and varied types of drought tolerant palettes the City is considering and said that water savings is being accomplished not only with plants but also with irrigation control devices and different hardscapes.
