Minutes of the YLWD-City of Placentia Joint Agency Committee Meeting Held Wednesday January 15, 2020 at 3:00 p.m. 1
4.3. Reimbursement of Stormwater Line Expenses
Brett Barbre discussed four (4) areas within YLWD’s service boundary
where Placentia owns sewer. Mr. Barbre explained that it makes more
sense for these sewers to be transferred to YLWD. This can be done in
exchange for the reimbursement money that Placentia owes to YLWD.
Damien Arrula said that the idea has merit, but he needs to investigate this
further. Mr. Arrula will set up a meeting in February to discuss this further.
He requested the following information: number of customers, a copy of the
sewer transfer agreement with the City of Yorba Linda, approximate
revenue, and difference in Placentia and YLWD sewer rates.
4.4. PFOA/PFOS Pilot Test and Treatment Plant
Marc Marcantonio and Rosanne Weston gave an update on the Pilot Test
and the value of it in designing a PFAS Treatment Plant.
4.5. Regular Updates on GSWC and YLWD Projects and Capital Improvements
to Share with the Community via City’s Social Media and Other
Communication Outlets
YLWD provides frequent updates on projects via its website and also
prepares a monthly newsletter. Placentia provides has quarterly utility
meetings attended by YLWD. Pasquale Talarico will send information to Mr.
Arrula.
4.6. Pending Water Related Legislation Updates from Sacramento
AB 756 triggers notification requirements for PFAS effective January 1,
2020, if water is served that exceeds the PFOA and PFOS Response Levels
set by the state. AB 535 most likely will not pass the Senate and makes
PFAS hazardous under CERCLA.

Ms. Weston provided an update on YLWD’s steps toward helping YLWD
customers transition from septic tanks to the YLWD sewer system.
