The YLWD/City Council Joint Advisory Committee approved the minutes of the March 19, 2018 meeting. 6.DISCUSSION ITEMS 6.1 . Status of Yorba Linda Street Lighting and Landscaping Maintenance District Assessments Public Works Director/City Engineer Max Maximous gave a brief summary and status of the Yorba Linda Lighting and Landscaping Maintenance District Assessments. 6.2 Water Impact to Residential and Commercial Piping General Manager Marc Marcantonio addressed the impact of age and hard water on residential and commercial pipelines. He explained the District’s asset management plan involving a 3rd party who completed a full analysis and evaluation of all District facilities to determine replacement value, taking into consideration age, risk factors, etc. The report will be used to assist in the prioritizing of maintenance and replacement of facilities and infrastructure to become part of the 5 Year CIP program. Julia Schultz, resident, commented on the effects of chloramines and the amount of chloramines typically in swimming pools. 6.3 Pending Legislation - Making Water Conservation a California Way of Life General Manager Marcantonio reported that AB 1668 (Friedman) and SB 606 (Hertzberg) were approved by the Governor on May 31st and explained how the bills would affect the water district. He also discussed pending bill SB 623 (Monning) which is basically a utility tax to fund failing water systems in disadvantaged communities. The Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) is offering alternative funding sources that are more appropriate and the District will continue to send letters to the legislators and recommend the City do as well. Rick Schultz, resident, inquired about monitoring of the 55-gallon per capita limit on residents. Julia Schultz, resident, asked if the State would require districts to separate indoor and outdoor water use totals so they can be directly monitored. Mr. Marcantonio explained that the State will determine the overall Yorba Linda Water District use, not individual or per-household use. If the District YLWD/CC Joint Advisory Committee Minutes June 4, 2018 Page 3 of 3 exceeds its State determined budget the District will get fined. The District would then review the water usage for all customer accounts to see who is using more than necessary and work to reduce their use.
