4. DISCUSSION ITEMS
4.1. Connecting Customers with Septic Tanks to Wastewater Collection System
Mr. Barbre mentioned that YLWD is looking at creating Community Facility
Districts (CFD) to assist customers in transitioning from septic tanks to
discharging to public sewers. Several homes on Rose Drive are located
within YLWD, but are best served by tying into Placentia’s sewer system.
This would require YLWD and Placentia to enter into a formal agreement
to make this happen.
Mayor Shader remarked that her church is on septic in this area. Mr.
Estevez mentioned that Placentia updated its master plan last year, which
is available on their website. After checking the master plan, the next step
would be to conduct a sewer system capacity analysis. Ms. Weston and
Mr. Estevez agreed to get together to discuss: Orange County Sanitation
District’s plans for diverting Placentia and YLWD’s sewage flow to Plant 1;
regulations requiring property owners to connect to the sewer system and
abandon septic systems; and educational materials/handout on CFDs to
be shared with property owners.

4.2. City Fees for Street Paving/Repairs
Mr. Estevez mentioned that Placentia has recently updated paving
requirements and will be proposing a pavement moratorium program.
Their plan is to pave all of the streets that require paving by 2023. Mr.
Estevez will be sending out notices to YLWD and other stakeholders
regarding an upcoming quarterly utility coordination meeting.
4.3. Future Requests for Proposals for Sewer Line Cleaning
YLWD recently purchased a second camera truck and will use the truck to
identify the areas of the sewer system that require more frequent cleaning.
This prevents YLWD from cleaning clean sewers and reduces cleaning
costs and wear and tear on the sewers from excessive cleaning. YLWD is
interested in providing sewer line cleaning and other strategic services for
Placentia to help them reduce costs to their customers.
Mr. Barbre briefed Placentia on the water tax, which YLWD will include on
customer bills as a separate line item. Mr. Arrula would like to get a copy
of the handout that YLWD will be providing to its customers regarding the
water tax.
Mayor Shader and Mr. Barbre agreed to continue to meet quarterly and to
invite Golden State Water to participate every 6 months.
