PROPOSED WATER AND SEWER RATE INCREASE
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Thursday, September 17, 2015, at 6:30 p.m. a public hearing will be held at the District Administrative
Headquarters, 1717 E. Miraloma Avenue, Placentia, CA 92870 to consider a proposed increase in water and sewer rates. Proposed increases will
be effective October 1, 2015.
EXPLANATION OF WATER RATE INCREASES
The Yorba Linda Water District (District) levies a rate for water
service provided to its customer connections. A customer
connection’s total water rate has two components: 1) the Monthly
Base Fee and 2) the Water Use Charge. This rate reflects the cost
to the District for providing water service to customer connections,
including the cost of: (1) operations and maintenance; (2) repair,
rehabilitation and replacement of water system; and (3) water supply
costs – based on charges for imported water costs from the
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California; groundwater
related costs from the Orange County Water District; energy costs for
the District’s wells, pump stations; and annual water system loss.
Rate adjustments are being proposed due to the increasing costs of
operating, maintaining, and replacing the District’s water system and
the increasing costs of purchasing and delivering safe and reliable
water service to the community.
In 2007, the District Board of Directors approved a long-term Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) with a goal of being able to deliver less
expensive groundwater to our entire service area. This would
provide flexibility to switch between water sources, maximize the use
of lower-cost groundwater, and add facilities to be able to deliver
either source of water to all areas of the District now and in the
future. As this long-term plan comes to a close, proper funding of
these capital improvement projects will allow the CIP to be
completed.
The District’s current fixed costs greatly outweigh the revenues
collected on the Monthly Service Charge. This creates financial
volatility when water demand fluctuates due to economic or weather
conditions, such as the current drought. In response to the statewide
drought declaration by Governor Brown, the District has declared a
Stage 3 water shortage level and has been mandated to reduce 36%
of water use District-wide. The proposed rates reflect the cost of
service and provide an enhancement of revenue stability for covering
fixed costs. The District is proposing an increase in the revenue it
receives from its customer connections over the next 5 years.
The District’s projected revenue from its water rates for FY 15/16
(effective October 1, 2015), FY 16/17, FY 17/18, FY 18/19 and FY
19/20 is set forth in the draft YLWD 2015 Water and Sewer Rate
Study. The District proposes an increase in the total projected water
sales revenue of 36% in FY 15/16, 5% in FY 16/17, 5% in FY 17/18,
5% in FY 18/19 and 5% in FY 19/20. The District has decided to
collect the increased revenue on the Monthly Base Fee. Each
customer connection’s proportional amount of the revenue increase
is dependent on the size of the meter. The formula used to
determine the amount is the industry standard reflected in the AWWA
M-1 Manual, and is located in the draft YLWD 2015 Water and Sewer
Rate Study.
Finally, the projected water supply pass-through costs for FY
2015/16 will not require an additional increase in charges on the
consumption rate. The pass-through adjustments for FY 16/17, FY
17/18, FY 18/19 and FY 19/20 will be calculated at the end of each
preceding fiscal year and will be based on the results of a cost of
service analysis. The proposed rate increase includes the maximum
adjustments in FY 15/16, FY 16/17, FY 17/18, FY 18/19 and FY
19/20. The District reserves the right to reduce the proposed rate
increases based on the cost of service analysis in future years.
EXPLANATION OF SEWER RATE INCREASES
The Yorba Linda Water District (District) levies a rate for sewer
service provided to its customer connections on a basis of customer
class. A residential class connection sewer rate is a flat, fixed
monthly service charge. A commercial class connection sewer rate
has two components: 1) the fixed monthly service charge and 2) the
variable volumetric charge based on the estimated amount of water
returned to the sewer (“flow”). There is no sewer rate charge for
landscape customer connections. This rate reflects the cost to the
District for providing sewer service to customer connections,
including the cost of: (1) operations and maintenance and (2) repair,
rehabilitation and replacement of sewer system. Rate adjustments
are being proposed due to the increasing costs of operating,
maintaining, and replacing the District’s sewer system and to comply
with regulations governing the treatment and disposal of wastewater
to the community over the next five years. The District is also opting
to consolidate the eight current sewer customer classes into two:
residential and commercial.
The District’s projected revenue from its sewer rates for FY 15/16
(effective October 1, 2015), FY 16/17, FY 17/18, FY 18/19 and FY
19/20 is set forth in the draft YLWD Water and Sewer Rate Study
2015. The District proposes an increase in the total projected sewer
revenue of 7% in FY 15/16, 8% in FY 16/17, 8% in FY 17/18, 8% in
FY 18/19 and 8% in FY 19/20. The District has decided to collect the
increased revenue on the Monthly Service Charge.

supply costs
EXAMPLE CHARGES OF PROPOSED RATES
The average residential customer connection has a 1 inch meter and
uses approximately 16 units per month, based on the mandated 36%
reduction in water use. An example of the current and proposed
water bill for that typical customer connection is below. Over 93% of
YLWD water customer connections will reflect these or lower Monthly
Base Fee charges. Actual water charges will vary based on the
amount of water consumed.
Revenues derived from the proposed rates do not exceed the funds
required to provide the property related services nor will the revenue
be used for any purpose other than that for which the rates are
imposed. The amount of the proposed rates imposed upon any
parcel or person as an incident of property ownership will not exceed
the proportional cost of the service attributable to the parcel; and no
rate will be imposed for a service unless that service is actually used
by, or immediately available to, the owner of the property in question.
PROTEST OF PROPOSED RATE INCREASES
Written protests must be received by 6:30 p.m. the day of the
hearing. If mailed, they must be sent to the District Secretary, 1717
E. Miraloma Avenue, Placentia, CA 92870. Each written protest must
identify the affected property (by assessor’s parcel number or street
address), reference the Proposed Water and Sewer Rate Increase
and include the signature of the property owner or tenant, as
applicable. Due to the inability to verify the authenticity of each
individual protest, protests received by telephone, electronic mail (e-
mail), or via social media sites, including, but not limited to Facebook
or Twitter will NOT be accepted. All interested parties are invited to
attend the public hearing and present written protests and/or oral
comments on the proposed rate increase. Oral comments made at
the public hearing will qualify as formal protests of the rate increase
when accompanied by a written protest setting forth the required
information. If written protests are submitted by a majority of the
affected property owners, the proposed increase will not be imposed.
If you have any questions regarding the proposed increase or have
questions on how to submit a written protest, please contact the
District Secretary at 714-701-3021.

PROPOSED WATER AND SEWER RATE INCREASE Q&A’s
Why is the Basic Service Charge going up by nearly $25 dollars?
Our YLWD water bill is composed of two charges. The “Basic Service Charge”, which is the monthly
ready to serve charge, and the consumption or “Water Charge” which is billed per unit (one unit =
748 gallons). The increased Basic Service Charge will better cover the cost of providing water
service. For more than 100 years, YLWD’s operating costs were covered largely by the
consumption charges because the District has historically consumed high volumes of water. This
also allowed the District to keep water rates very low. In recent years, changes to the plumbing
code created more water efficient appliances, which, in addition to customers’ conservation
efforts, have reduced consumption. Last summer, YLWD began the process of exploring a gradual
shift of our business model to accommodate the evolving industry, moving more of the customers’
average bill to the Basic Service Charge. This however, had to be accelerated because of the
Governor’s Executive Order and Regulations mandated by the State Water Resources Control
Board, in May. The regulations, which impose a 36% conservation mandate for YLWD,
dramatically impact the financial stability of the agency. The increase on the Basic Service Charge
is a direct result of the revenue loss the District will face due to those State Regulations.
Why not raise the consumption charge instead?
The District’s costs of providing water service are the same. This drought is unprecedented.
Further conservation efforts may be needed. The new Basic Service Charge as proposed will cover
at least 45% of the District’s overall operating costs.
What about Basic Service Charge increases over the next five years?
The proposed increases through Fiscal Year 2019/20 are subject to change at the discretion of the
Board of Directors after an annual cost of service analysis. The listed charges are the maximum
rates for the listed fiscal year. In the event planned Capital Improvement Projects can save costs
by producing more groundwater in place of more expensive import water, the cost of service
would reflect this. Should the weather, economic conditions or the State Water Resources Control
Board impose more stringent or extended regulations, calling for greater reductions in water
usage, the Board of Directors would be able to raise the Basic Service Charge to cover the District’s
costs of providing water service.
Why not cut costs instead of raising rates?
There is simply nowhere to cut. The District has an awesome responsibility to protect public
health and public safety. Public trust in the quality of the water cannot be compromised. Ensuring
a safe, healthy and reliable water supply requires elaborate infrastructure, sophisticated tools and
highly trained, certified professionals. None of which, we can do without. The costs of operating
this agency do not change, whether a customer uses one unit of water or 100 units of water. The
Basic Service Charge is truly a service charge. We pay for water service, just as we pay our phone
or cable bill, whether we make a single call or whether we are even home to turn on the TV.
How do YLWD’s rates compare?
YLWD has historically had some of the lower rates in Southern California. As of this mailing, here
is how YLWD’s proposed rates will compare to other agencies in the region of similar make-up.
As you can see, YLWD’s rates are still among the lowest around. We are keeping our consumption
charge the same, at $2.70 per unit. Some other agencies employ “budget based” or tiered rates,
where the commodity charge escalates as your consumption goes up. For example, under South
Coast Water District’s tiered rate structure, a customer using 25 units of water would pay 119.63
on the commodity side alone. YLWD is one of the first agencies to perform a cost of service
analysis in response to the emergency drought declaration. The other agencies are going through
their own analysis and anticipate raising their rates accordingly, which will make YLWD rates
comparatively lower.

Prepared By:Delia Lugo, Finance Manager
Subject:Budget for FY 2015/16
SUMMARY:
Attached is the District's approved Budget for FY 2015/16. The budget allocates employee and
financial resources to accomplish the District's Mission and Vision statements. It presents a
framework and financial plan for responsibly carrying out the programs and capital projects that
administer, operate, maintain, protect and replace the assets required to provide safe and reliable
public water and sewer systems.
DISCUSSION:
In general, this budget identifies $44 million in total outlay this next Fiscal Year, including $30.3
million in total expenses, $7.4 million in depreciation, and $6.3 million in capital projects. Offsetting
this $30.3 million in total expenses is $32.5 million in anticipated revenues, resulting in a net gain of
$2.2 million. The Board remains consistent in its decision to not fully fund depreciation expense and
the budget reflects this decision. Therefore, the District will operate with a planned net deficit of
$5.1 million.
Attached to this report is Resolution No. 15-16 Adopting the Budget for Fiscal Year 2015/16.

To the Honorable Board of Directors:
We are pleased to present the Yorba Linda Water District FY 2015/16 Draft Budget.
The purpose of this document is to identify and allocate the resources needed to
accomplish the District’s goals and objectives over the next fiscal year and to present
the financial health of the District in a clear and concise manner to the Board of
Directors and the general public.
The main objective of the proposed Yorba Linda Water District FY 2015/16 budget is to
provide adequate funding for all District activities, considering the goal of meeting all
regulatory requirements while providing reliable, high quality water and sewer services
in an environmentally responsible and financially prudent manner.
The proposed budget meets this objective by incorporating operating cost reductions
and the use of available financial reserves, while projecting realistic operating revenues
without a supplement from the currently approved rate increases.
The following are highlights of achievements completed in FY 2014/15; a summary of
the goals and objectives for FY 2015/16 and a financial forecast of the District heading
into the next five fiscal years:

FY 2014/15 Financial Forecast
For the year ending June 30, 2015, staff is anticipating a combined loss of $2,057,622
for the water and sewer enterprises. These figures include total depreciation expenses
(a non-cash expense) in the amount of $7,354,700. Please refer to the Summary of
Total Revenue and Expenses (Water & Sewer) for supporting information.
Beginning July 1, 2014, total reserve funds available for both Operations and Capital
Projects was $29.4 million. Staff is forecasting these funds to be $32.6 million by June
30, 2015, for a total addition of $3.2 million for FY 2014/15.
Principal Issues, Factors & Challenges for FY 2015/16
For the forthcoming 2015/16 fiscal year, the Yorba Linda Water District will be
experiencing one of its greatest challenges in meeting the Governor’s April 1, 2015
Executive Order issuing mandatory water conservation regulations across the state.
The subsequent Regulations approved by the State Water Resources Control Board
(SWRCB) on May 6, 2015, mandated a conservation reduction (of water use) for YLWD
of 36%, comparative to 2013 usage. In response to these events, YLWD Board of
Directors adopted Resolution No. 15-04 Instituting Stage 3 of the District’s Conservation
Ordinance and Ordinance No. 15-01 Instituting Drought Penalties, both to promote
conservation efforts by our customer base. As a result of the SWRCB mandated 36%
District-wide conservation reduction established for YLWD, there is a projected budget
decrease of 29% in water sales for FY 2015/16 as compared to FY 2014/15.
Prior to the Governor’s Executive Order, the District was engaged in a Water and
Wastewater Rate Study as authorized by the Board. The study explored gradually
shifting more of the customer’s average monthly bill to the basic service charge over a
five year period. The intent was to stabilize revenues and meet the District’s cost of
service as water conservation efforts continue to be necessary. Unfortunately, due to
the Emergency Drought Mandates implemented in May of 2015, which far exceeded the
forecasted conservation targets set by the District’s imported water supplier,
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD), this gradual shift to increase
the basic service fee will need to be consolidated into the first year, effective October, 1
2015.
Additionally the Emergency Mandates require the establishment of drought rates or
administrative penalties to impose upon customers who exceed water use restrictions
set forth by the SWRCB. The District elected to implement administrative penalties
based on reductions comparative to the calendar year 2013 average usage for each of
the three customer classes - residential, commercial and irrigation. The collection of
these proposed administrative penalties are not for the purpose of recovering the cost of
providing water service to District customers, but rather to signal higher than average
users of water they need to conserve more.

As of May 2014, the District was granted annexation of the remaining 26% of its service
area into the Orange County Water District (OCWD). It was anticipated that with full
annexation the District will be able to pump the maximum groundwater allowable each
year, at a lower cost than purchasing the same amount of import (MWD) water.
However, the District will not be able to take advantage of full annexation for FY
2015/16, due to the 2003 Conjunctive Use Program (CUP) Agreement and due to the
need to complete construction of capital facilities.
The CUP Agreement requires the District to withdraw 1,596 acre-feet over and above
OCWD’s Basin Production Percentage (BPP) for the upcoming fiscal year and pay for
the water at current import water rates, after subtracting power and operations and
maintenance charges of $110 per acre-foot. The CUP allows MWD to “store” water in
the Orange County Groundwater Basin and call for the extraction of that water, via wells
purchased for various agencies, in times of drought when its traditional sources (the
Colorado River and Bay-Delta) are less plentiful.
Current facility (infrastructure) limitations prevent the District from producing and
transferring the full BPP as well as the required CUP obligation. Had the District been
able to access the entirety of the BPP in the upcoming fiscal year, the District could
potentially lower its variable water costs by approximately $1 million. As later described
in this document, the District’s Capital Improvement Program includes 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.
FY 2015/16 Goals & Objectives
Key Business Objectives

FY 2015/16 Summary Budget
Revenues
Total water and sewer revenues budgeted for upcoming FY 2015/16 amount to $32.5
million, a decrease of $415,000 from the revenues budgeted for FY 2014/15. The major
differences are comprised of the following:
Water Revenue ($580,000 decrease)
The decrease in Water Revenue is a result of the net effect of projected conservation
efforts to meet the SWRCB mandated reduction in consumption and the projected
results from the Water and Wastewater Rate Study that will establish an increase on
monthly base fee charges to District customers. Water Revenue from Residential,
Commercial, and Landscape/Irrigation consumption is projected to decrease by $6.4
million (30%) in FY 2015/16 as a result of District-wide conservation efforts. As a
projection of the results from the Water and Wastewater Rate Study, Service Charges
for all customers are projected to increase by $4.9 million for FY 2015/16.
Sewer Charge Revenue ($34,000 decrease)
Sewer Charge Revenue funds help to finance maintenance equipment, system repairs,
replacements and improvements associated with the sewer system. This revenue is
expected to remain relatively constant.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
5
Expenses & Outlay
Total expenses & outlay (excluding capital projects) budgeted for upcoming FY 2015/16
is $37.6 million, an increase of $1 million from the FY 2014/15 budgeted results. This
includes depreciation which totals $7.4 million. The following factors summarize the
significant changes:
Variable Water Costs ($2,849,000 decrease)
The District's variable water costs will decrease by 19% in FY 2015/16. In response to
the SWRCB’s mandated conservation reduction for YLWD of 36%, the District’s
Production Operating Plan is projecting to generate a total demand of 16,534 AF in FY
2015/16 – a reduction of 5,446 AF from FY 2014/15. The operating plan for FY 2015/16
increases its annual ground water allocation to 60.9% - up by 6.2% from FY 2014/15.
The cost per AF for ground water of $322/AF averages to be $613/AF less than the cost
of import water per AF.
Salaries & Benefits ($589,000 increase)
This amount includes the hiring of additional staff, merit increases and reclassifications
for those employees who may qualify throughout the year, a Cost of Living Adjustment
(COLA) as indicated in the District’s MOU and Compensation letters, increases from
CalPERS, medical, dental, and vision premiums, and the assumption that all funded
positions will be filled for an entire fiscal year. The FY 2015/16 budget for merit
increases for those employees who qualify throughout the year, amounts to
approximately $39,000. The Salaries & Benefits budget also includes the addition of two
full-time employees and 4 part-time employees, as well as one proposed reclassification
of current employee. Salaries relating to CIP projects, in the amount of $135,000, will
also be capitalized. The net operating costs for salaries and benefits results in a
$589,000 increase from the FY 2014/15 budget.
The District has three tiers for retirement benefits through the California Public
Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS):
Tier 1 applies to District employees hired prior to January 26, 2012. These employees
pay the full employee contribution rate, which is 7% of pensionable compensation and
are enrolled in the 2% at 55 CalPERS retirement formula.
Tier 2 applies to District employees hired between January 26, 2012 and December 31,
2012, and any District employees hired on or after January 1, 2013 who are defined as
“classic members” under the Public Employees’ Retirement Law. These employees pay
the full employee contribution rate, which is 7% of pensionable compensation and are
enrolled in the 2% at 60 CalPERS retirement formula.
Both tier 1 and tier 2 retirement benefits are based on the employee’s single highest
year of compensation. These employees are covered under the Fourth Level of 1959
Survivor Benefits.

6
Tier 3 applies to District employees hired on or after January 1, 2013 who are “new
members” as defined in the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA).
These employees pay an initial contribution rate of one-half of the total normal cost of
the defined benefit plan and are enrolled in the 2.5% at 67 CalPERS retirement formula.
The retirement benefit for these employees is based on an average of three years of
final compensation.
Commencing July 1, 2015, District employees will receive a Cost-of-Living increase of
6.5% which will be spread over the course of the next three fiscal years.
The District will continue to match dollar for dollar of salary earned, not to exceed 2%
per payroll period of the employee’s deposits into a qualified Deferred Compensation
Plan for any Management or Supervisory/Confidential employee.
The District pays 100% of the premium cost for health, dental and vision for all full-time
employees and two-thirds of the premium cost for their dependents; offers employees a
“4/10” work schedule; an optional 457 deferred compensation plan; a 125 Flex benefits
plan; Long and Short Term Disability Insurance; Life Insurance; an Employee
Assistance Program; and Tuition Reimbursement.
Employees accrue 3.077 hours per pay period of vacation with increases in vacation
accruals at 5, 10, 15 and 20 years. After 20 years, the maximum vacation accrual is
reached at the rate of 6.922 hours per pay period. There are 26 pay periods per year.
Sick leave is accrued at the rate of 3.7 hours per pay period. The District observes
eleven paid holidays per year.
Reserves and Funding Sources
The District has nine water and sewer enterprise-related funding sources. Within the
budget document is a summary of these funding sources and their associated balances.
Three of these funds are restricted or designated specifically for capital projects
including: COP Bonds 2008, Water Capital Projects and Sewer Capital Projects.
Both the Water Emergency and the Sewer Emergency Funds are non-restricted and
were established to fund unplanned, unbudgeted emergency operations repairs related
to the water and sewer system, respectively. The Water Emergency Fund was
established in FY 2009/10, with a transfer of $2 million from the Annexation Fund. The
Sewer Emergency Fund was established in FY 2007/2008, with the Board of Directors’
decision that approximately $1 per connection per month would be set to fund this
account. The Board also established at that time a Sewer Emergency Fund ceiling
guideline of $1 million, after which any additional revenue generated would be
transferred to Sewer Capital Reserves.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16

The remaining three funds are the Water Restricted for Debt Service Fund, which is
used to pay the Districts principal and interest payments and the Water and Sewer
Operating Funds which are used to fund day-to-day operations and maintenance
activities as identified in the budget, which occur as actual expenses. These activities
require cash, checks and wire transfers on a regular basis and affect the District’s cash
flow.
Summary
The Water Enterprise is budgeted with a FY 2015/16 loss of $3.8 million under the
proposed budget, which includes a rate increase and variable water cost pass-through,
and with depreciation of $6 million. This does not include CIP project expenditures,
which are funded separately with capital reserves and other identified funds.
The Sewer Enterprise is budgeted with a FY 2015/16 loss of $1.3 million, with
depreciation of $1.3 million. This also does not include CIP project expenditures, which
will require funding from capital reserve funds and operating fund transfers.
The State-wide mandated water use restrictions by the SWRCB will pose challenges for
all water providers in the coming years. Continuous and effective communications on
the many changing issues facing the District is essential as we adapt our business
model to these drought conditions and imposed mandates.
The challenges presented this year were met by the Yorba Linda Water District’s Board
of Directors’ resolve to keep the stability and financial strength of the District as one of
its highest priorities.
This budget reflects the vision of the Board of Directors of the Yorba Linda Water
District, its management, and its employees. We will continue to strive to make
improvements in our budget processes, including an extensive review and analysis of
projections for revenues, expenditures, capital projects, and reserves.
I would like to thank all the staff involved in this process for the efforts put forth in the
preparation of this budget to ensure a successful outcome. To the Board of Directors,
we acknowledge and appreciate their continued support and direction in achieving
excellence in financial management and District operations.
Respectfully Submitted,

Strategic Goals Statement
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommends that all
governmental entities use some form of strategic planning to provide a long-term
perspective for service delivery and budgeting, thus establishing logical links between
authorized spending and broad organizational goals.
The goals, objectives and action steps within the District’s Strategic Plan were
determined by the mission and vision statements and core values of the District and
further established through the process initiated by the Board of Directors through a
Strategic Plan Workshop. Stakeholders that participated in this process included all five
Board Members, the Executive Management team and members of the Employee
Productivity-Innovation-Communications (EPIC) Committee, made up of staff
representatives with varied levels of experience and expertise from across all District
departments.
In the District’s strategic planning, goals are defined as identified challenges the District
would like to address. Initiatives are defined as high-level concepts or plans for
resolving the identified goals. Strategies are defined as action steps to achieving the
identified initiatives, which, in turn, achieve the identified goals.
Five goals were identified as the most critical challenges for the District to address in
the next year:
Goal CP: Community Partnership
Goal FR: Fiscal Responsibility
Goal OE: Operational Efficiency
Goal SR: Service Reliability
Goal WE: Workforce Engagement

The District is ranked highly by financial ratings organizations, has proven to be a good

and clean annual financial audit. However, with the state and national economic crisis,
the District has an even greater responsibility to demonstrate effective and responsible
use of public funds while responding to ever-increasing financial challenges.

Profile of the District
Independent, Trusted and Reliable Service for more than 100 Years
The Yorba Linda Water District is an independent special district, which operates under
the authority of Division 12 of the California Water Code. The Yorba Linda Water District
has been providing water and sewer services to the residents of the City of Yorba Linda,
portions of Placentia, Brea, Anaheim, and nearby unincorporated areas since 1959, the
year it was formed to take over the assets and water service responsibilities of the
Yorba Linda Water Company, a mutual company formed in 1909.
The District is governed by a five-member Board of Directors, elected at large from
within the District’s service area. The General Manager administers the day-to-day
operations of the District in accordance with policies and procedures established by the
Board of Directors. The Yorba Linda Water District employs a full-time staff of 80
employees and a part-time staff of 4 employees. The District’s Board of Directors meets
on the second and fourth Thursday of each month. Meetings are publicly noticed and
citizens are encouraged to attend.
The District provides water, sewer or a combination of both services to residents and
businesses within its service area, which includes approximately 14,475 acres of land
comprising 22.6 square miles. The District serves a population of approximately 70,000
and currently provides water service through approximately 24,703 residential,
commercial, and light industrial connections.
District Services
Residential customers make up approximately 93% of the District’s customer base and
consume approximately 72% of the water provided annually by the District.
The District's drinking water comes from two sources: local groundwater and "imported
water". Approximately 60% comes from local groundwater and 40% comes from
"imported water" from the Colorado River via the Colorado River Aqueduct and from
Northern California via the State Water Project. The blending of these sources varies
according to your geographic location within the District.
YLWD currently operates 10 wells within our service area that pump water from the
Orange County Groundwater Basin. The groundwater basin is managed by the Orange
County Water District (OCWD), who allows more than 20 cities and water agencies,
including YLWD, to withdraw water from the basin, via wells, at a cost of approximately
$322 per acre-foot. OCWD sets a maximum percentage of water that can be pumped
from the ground, the Basin Production Percentage (BPP).
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
17
The remainder of YLWD's drinking water is "imported" water, purchased through the
Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC). MWDOC, in turn, purchases
water from the State Water Project and the Colorado River Aqueduct, as part of a
consortium of 26 agencies, through the Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California (MWD). The cost of imported water to the retail agencies, such as YLWD, is
almost four times the cost of pumping out of the groundwater basin. Imported water is
treated at MWD's Diemer Filtration Plant, located on Valley View and Diemer Road in
Yorba Linda.
The majority of YLWD's operating expenses are variable water costs, which include
purchasing water from both OCWD and MWDOC, as well as electrical and natural gas
costs to pump water up to the highest elevations.
The District has a unique water delivery system to provide service to homes ranging
from 250 to 1,390 feet above sea level, from the Chino Hills to the Santa Ana River. The
District maintains ten primary hydraulic "pressure zones" and fourteen water storage
reservoirs.
Almost ten years ago the District began a $95 million dollar “fast track” capital
improvement program aimed at an infrastructural overhaul to ensure water reliability for
our customers, and to meet current and anticipated consumption and financial
demands. The program includes the construction of water wells, reservoirs, pipelines
and booster pumping stations as well as various other system improvements. These
systems improvements will allow greater access to groundwater throughout our service
area and have the potential to reduce variable costs approximately $1 million per year.
In addition, the ability to access groundwater provided by these upgrades serves to
better prepare the District in the event of scheduled and unscheduled MWD shutdowns.
Historically, YLWD rates have been among the lowest in Orange County, and continue
to be so for the upcoming year.
In fiscal year 2012/13 and 2013/14, the District purchased 21,788.7 acre-feet and
22,645.8 acre-feet of water to provide to customers, respectively. Fiscal year 2015/16 is
forecasted to provide 16,534 acre-feet.

Financial Policies & Goals
This section includes a brief summary of the District’s Operating Budget Policy,
Revenue and Expenditure Policy, Reserve Policy, and Investment Policy. Though each
financial policy is reviewed annually, only the District’s Investment Policy is updated and
adopted by the Board on an annual basis.
Operating Budget Policy
The District’s budget is developed in accordance with the priorities which are linked to
the District’s financial and strategic plans set forth in the District’s mission and long-term
goals and objectives. These are found in the District’s comprehensive master plans, the
long term financial plan, the needs of the community, and federal and state laws.
The District operating and capital budget is developed on an annual basis. Operating
and capital appropriations are approved by the District’s Board of Director’s.
A balanced budget is defined as the amount of budgeted expenditures is equal to or
less than the amount of budgeted revenue, plus available fund balance.
The accounting for the District is kept on an accrual basis. Revenues are recognized
when earned, and expenses are recognized when incurred. The budgeting for District
expenses, with the exception of supplies and services, is on an accrual basis. Supplies
and services are budgeted on a cash basis.
The District is operated as an enterprise fund, an accounting entity which finances and
accounts for the acquisition, operation, and maintenance of governmental facilities and
services. It is the intention of the District to recover the full costs of providing
maintenance, goods, and/or services through the collection of user charges.
Revenue and Expenditure Policy
Budgeted revenues are estimated conservatively using an objective and analytical
approach using historical trends and current information to maintain consistency,
reliability, and reasonableness.
The District’s expenditures reflect the Board of Directors’ and staff commitment to serve
present and future customers with reliable public services. The Board and staff believe
that prudent expenditure planning and accountability will ensure fiscal stability.
Budgeted expenditures are projected conservatively using an objective and analytical
approach as well as certain techniques such as historical trends, current information,
and economic indicators to maintain consistency, reliability, and reasonableness.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
23
Reserve Policy
This policy represents the public affirmation of the Board’s commitment to the financial
prudence and careful stewardship of community assets. This policy covers: Operating
Reserve (target level of 8%-17% of annual operating budget); Emergency Reserve
(target level between $1 and $4 million for water fund and $250,000 and $1 million for
sewer fund); Capital Replacement Reserve (target level of $1.82 million for water fund
less money set aside for Maintenance Reserve and $345,000 for sewer fund);
Maintenance Reserve (target level of $200,000); Debt Service Reserve (target level of
highest annual debt service payment); Employee Liabilities Reserve (annual
contribution of $100,000) and US Bank 2008 COP Reserve (target level of $2,147,096).
These funds are designated by the District’s Board to carry out specific purposes to
ensure prudent management of District’s financial resources and are used by District’s
staff as parameters within which the Board expects staff to operate.
The Financial Reserve Policy has three primary goals:
To preserve the financial stability of the District against present and future
uncertainties in an ever-changing environment
To maintain the District’s bond ratings in the capital markets and sustaining debt
covenant compliance
To provide adequate funding to meet the District’s short-term and long-term
plans and commitments to its customers
All reserve balances will be subject to review by the Board of Directors on an annual
basis as part of the budget process.
Investment Policy
It is the policy of the District to invest funds in a manner that will provide the highest
investment return with the maximum security while meeting the daily cash flow
demands of the District and conforming to all statutes governing the investment of the
District funds. The policy follows the “prudent investor” standard of the California
Government Code Section 53600.3 and is updated and formally adopted by the District
on an annual basis.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
24
Basis of Budgeting & Accounting
The accounting for the District is kept on an accrual basis. Revenues are recognized
when earned, and expenses are recognized when incurred. The budgeting for District
expenses, with the exception of supplies and services, is on the accrual basis. Supplies
and services are budgeted on the cash basis of accounting.
The District is operated as an enterprise fund, which is an accounting entity that
finances and accounts for the acquisition, operation and maintenance of governmental
facilities and services. It is the District’s intention to recover the majority of the costs of
the acquisition, operation, and maintenance of governmental facilities through user-
charges and the receipt of property taxes.
Budget Controls
When the Fiscal Year 2015-16 Operating and Capital Budget is approved by the Board,
budgeted amounts are appropriated and expended within each department.
Subject to the approval of the annual budget by the Board of Directors, the General
Manager has full charge and control of the District’s expenditures to ensure that
operating and capital expenditures in each fiscal year are within the budgetary
guidelines and to ensure that the District’s goals and objectives are met.
Developing and monitoring the budget is an ongoing process. Monthly reports of
expenses and revenues compared to the budget are developed to provide a method for
ongoing review at the department. The Board is presented unaudited financial
statements in the CAFR format to review, receive and file for each reporting quarter.
Throughout the year, Finance and other department managers will review actual results
of operating expenditures as compared to the budgeted amounts approved by the
Board of Directors in June 2015. The General Manager has the authority to make
administrative adjustments to the budget as long as those changes will not have a
significant policy impact nor affect the budgeted year-end fund balances. Any
significant program changes or service level changes require approval by the Board of
Directors. All budget transfers are documented and tracked within the Finance
Department.
Review and adjustments to the capital budget appropriations are also recommended
throughout the fiscal year. Project managers may find that some projects contemplated
at the beginning of the fiscal year have been delayed or accelerated due to changes in
conditions, weather and/or economics, and new projects may be added to meet future
demands, goals and objectives. Any recommended changes to the Capital
Improvement Budget would be brought to the Board of Directors for approval.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
25
Resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors are required for authorizing positions in
the service of the District and for setting salary ranges for those authorized positions.
The General Manager is authorized to use savings from vacant authorized positions to
retain contract labor to meet District personnel needs. The General Manager is also
authorized to fill an approved and budgeted position that is vacated during the term of
the budget year with a new employee at an equal or lower classification. The budget
may need to be modified to reflect labor and benefit agreements. These changes would
be approved by the Board of Directors.
As defined by the District’s Purchasing Policy, in the event that the General Manager
determines that an emergency exists and requires immediate action, the General
Manager shall have the power, without prior Board action, to enter into contracts and
agreements and expend funds on behalf of the District beyond the final approved fiscal
year budget in an amount not to exceed $100,000. Those amounts shall be ratified at
the next meeting or at the earliest special meeting that can be called. Amounts in
excess of $100,000 require Board of Director approval and shall be formally ratified at
the next meeting or at the earliest special meeting that can be called.
Budget Process
The budget process begins in January of each year and is the product of a
comprehensive team effort from various levels within the organization, as shown on the
following Budget Calendar. Each year, the Finance Department prepares expenditure
budget worksheets for distribution to key staff. These worksheets give staff the
necessary information to project their department’s budgets by category. Included in
the worksheets are the past year’s actual expenses, current year transactions, and
projected current year end balances. Based on the information provided, and
accounting for any changes for anticipated purchases, the requested amounts from the
worksheet are entered into the budget system and compared to last year’s budget. Any
substantial budget change needs to be justified by the respective departments.
The Human Resources Department reviews the employee positions and wages of the
District. The Human Resources Department makes a recommendation to the General
Manager if new positions need to be added, changes in job descriptions need to occur,
or reclassifications of position are required. The results of this review are presented to
the Board of Directors for further input and approval. The approved personnel
recommendations are entered into the budget system for inclusion in the budget
document.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
26
The Engineering Department prepares a list of CIP projects to be presented to the
Board of Directors. Based on recommendations from staff, each CIP project will be
prioritized based on necessity. The Engineering Department will also update the future
project list and will incorporate cost changes due to construction cost increases or a
change in the scope of the project.
The method to determine the revenue projections takes into account factors such as
projected growth, required conservation, historical activity, and the current economic
conditions.
Once all the components have been calculated, each department presents their
departmental budget to the General Manager and Management Team for review.
Comments and changes that are recommended by staff are included in a draft
document that is then presented to the Board of Directors in a public forum for review
and comment. Once all approved changes have been incorporated into the draft
document, a final budget is then presented to the Board of Directors for adoption.
Developing and monitoring the budget is an ongoing process. Monthly reports of
expenses and revenues compared to the budget are developed to provide a method for
ongoing review at the department level. The Board is presented unaudited financial
statements in the CAFR format to review, receive and file for each reporting quarter.
Revenue Assumptions
The main source of Operating Revenue for the District is water and sewer rate revenue.
However, rate revenue is not enough to fund the total cost of operations and must be
supplemented by a variety of miscellaneous/other operating revenues. Other operating
revenues include items such as customer service fees, unmetered jumpers, and other
sources. Total operating revenues are projected to decrease at a rate of 1.2% in FY
2015/2016. Water operating revenues as a result of water sales are estimated to
decrease by 1.9% to $28,623,519 in FY 2015/16. Sewer operating revenues are
estimated to decrease by 1.2% to $1,822,139 in FY 2015/16.
Water Operating Fund
Potable Water sales are the largest source of District revenues, with the majority of
sales to residential customers. In previous years, mild weather conditions, less that
desirable economic conditions, and a strong water conservation message have resulted
in lower consumption demand and thus lower than anticipated water revenues. In the
current year, due to the Governor’s official Declaration of Drought and mandated
conservation reduction for YLWD of 36%, comparative to calendar year 2013, set by the
SWRCB, the District is budgeting for at a 29% conservation reduction of current
forecasted usage.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
27
There is no tiered water rate structure at YLWD. Therefore, Water Revenues are
calculated using the average number of units consumed per customer account, a
proposed monthly fixed charge per account, and a proposed $2.70 per billing unit
consumed (which is 100 cubic feet (ccf) or approximately 750 gallons). The result is
then annualized for the budget projection. The budget assumes a yearly demand of
16,534 acre feet (AF) in FY 2015/16. The chart below displays the historical trend of
water revenue.
Revenue from Service Charges is a calculation of the projected number of service
connections for FY 2015/16 (24,703) multiplied by the proposed fixed service charge
based on meter size.
Other Income Revenues, which include but are not limited to backflow charges,
unmetered jumpers, construction meters, new account fees, and other income, are
projected based upon historical activity and current economic conditions. Included in
Other Income Revenues for FY 2015/16, in response to the SWRCB’s Emergency
Drought, are revenues collected in the form of administrative penalties imposed upon
District customers who exceed water use restrictions.
Interest Income for the water operating funds is projected based on an average yield of
0.6% on the District’s portfolio.
Property Tax Income is projected based on the assumptions of the Orange County Tax
Assessor. The District anticipates receiving 97% of its share of the ad valorem tax
revenue, which will result in a 1% increase when compared to the previous year.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
28
Other Non-Operating Revenue, which include but are not limited to annexation fees,
rental income, and other sources, are projected based upon historical activity and
current economic conditions.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
29
Sewer Operating Fund
The District’s Sewer Revenues are based on the sewer collection services provided to
our customers.
Sewer maintenance charges will remain fixed at $5.50 per month for single family
residential customers with associated charges for multi-family and commercial
accounts. The District will provide sewage collection services for approximately 25,300
sewer service connections.
Other Income Revenues, which include but are not limited to sewer collection fees and
miscellaneous income, are projected based upon the historical activity and current

Cost Allocation
The allocation of costs are derived from cost accounting. Cost accounting is defined as
the process of tracking, recording and analyzing costs associated with the products or
activities of an organization. The costs of operating expenses including employee
wages and benefits are allocated to each department and division, based on actual
expenses as tracked by the District’s accounting system. The District’s budget is
presented with an allocation of 93% to the Water Fund and 7% to the Sewer Fund, with
the exceptions of the Water Production, Water Operations, and Mechanical Services
sections which are allocated 100% to the Water Fund. Additionally, the Sewer
Operations section, which includes sewer-related expenses including vehicle
maintenance, is allocated 100% to the Sewer Fund. The methodology used to
determine the allocation percentages involved discussions with personnel from each
department where they were to identify a basis for each section by which an allocation
percentage could be used. This analysis concluded that the allocation percentage
described above was appropriate.
Costs associated with capital projects are tracked by the means of assigned “Job
Numbers”. Salaries affiliated with capital projects are allocated to the appropriate CIP
accounts based on actual timesheet entries. An overhead of approximately 33% is
applied to the allocated salary costs by job number in order to provide a true salary and
benefit cost applicable to CIP projects.

Five Year Financial Projections (FY 2016-2020)
Narrative
This financial projection is designed to provide a general understanding of how
revenues and expenditures are expected to influence the District over the next five
years. Revenue and expenditure projections are reviewed in relation to their effect on
funding capital projects, reserve levels, and operating fund balances. The District will
update its projections on an annual basis in order to plan for the future and determine
recommended rates. The projection factors in debt ratios, reserve balances, projected
rate increases, cost increases and growth projections.
The assumptions in the following projections include:
Costs passed-through for all variable water cost rate increases
Annexation to OCWD in FY 14/15
$7 million borrowing through a Line of Credit in FY 12/13 at an interest rate of One
Month LIBOR + 0.90%, with renewals every 3 years
Principal repayment due September 16, 2016
A 0.04% annual growth in customer accounts
No change to the sewer rate, but an alignment to address a disparity in our rates in
FY 2015/16
Average interest earnings at 0.3 % - 1.2%
1% growth in property taxes
1.5% annual increase in other non-operating revenue other than annexation
amortization
9% annual increases in variable water costs
8% annual increases in salary related expenses
3-8% annual increases in supplies and services expenses with the following
exceptions:
Board Election expense only budgeted every other year
Interest expense equal to those scheduled by the existing bonds and assumed
interest rate of 1.5-2.0% for Line of Credit
No change to future budgets for other non-operating expenses
Depreciation increases based on the projected completion of CIP jobs
The District is still in the middle of an aggressive CIP spending plan that was created
with the issuance of the 2008 Certificates of Participation. The following projections
include the completion of that spending plan.

Debt Administration
The District’s debt rating from Fitch is “AA”. The District has no formal debt policy and
no legal debt limit; however, the District’s future borrowing capacity is limited by the debt
coverage ratio required by existing bond covenants. The ratio is calculated using
revenue and expenses data pertaining to the Water Fund only and the covenants
require that the coverage exceed 1.1. The District’s budgeted ratio is 1.25 for Fiscal
Year 2016. This District’s Fiscal Year 2015/16 budgeted debt service obligation
($2,721,559) is related to its two existing debt issuances. Use of proceeds and the
corresponding principal balance of each are as follows:

Financial Policies
Introduction
The District’s financial policy documents incorporate many of the District’s financial
management practices that are used by the District staff as guidelines for operational
and strategic decision-making related to current and future financial matters.
The purpose of establishing these policies is to identify acceptable and unacceptable
courses of action, thus establishing parameters in which the District’s fiscal performance
can be reviewed. Some policies are flexible when they are utilized by District staff as
performance measurement tools to monitor the District’s finances, while others are
restrictive to emphasize accountability.
The Operating Budget Policy and Revenues and Expenditures Policy are internal
documents, acting as a guideline for staff, and are not reviewed by the Board. The
Financial Reserves Policy and Investment Policy are reviewed by District staff and
Board Members annually, to accommodate minor changes to the existing policy or
major shifts in financial priorities as approved by the District’s Board of Directors.
The District’s financial policies encompass the following functional areas:
Operating Budget Policy
Revenues and Expenditures Policy
Financial Reserves Policy
Investment Policy
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
82
Operating Budget Policy
The operating budget policy answers some basic questions such as: How is the budget
developed? Who is involved in the budget process? What does the budget include?
Budget Development
The District’s budget is developed in accordance with the priorities which are linked to
the District’s financial and strategic plans set forth in the District’s mission and long-term
goals and objectives. These are found in the District’s strategic plan, the needs of the
community, and federal and state laws.
Guidelines with respect to the District’s budget are as follows:
The budget should support the District’s mission statement, strategic goals, and
critical priorities
There should be no deferment of critical maintenance
The budget should be regarded as a business operating plan
The budget should balance the needs to pay for the District’s cost of providing
services, debt service obligation and capital needs of the District
Expenses should be budgeted for in appropriate departments to correctly identify
the cost of providing various District functions and services
Budget Form
The District operating and capital budget is developed on an annual basis. Operating
and capital appropriations are approved by the District’s Board of Director’s. Proposed
revenues and expenditures including debt service expenditures are presented to the
Board of Directors along with comparisons to projected expenditures for the current
year and actual expenditures of the prior two years.
Basis of Budgeting
The accounting for the District is kept on an accrual basis. Revenues are recognized
when earned, and expenses are recognized when incurred. The budgeting for the
District is kept on an accrual basis, with the exception of supplies & services, which are
budgeted on a cash basis.
The District is operated as an enterprise fund, which is an accounting entity that
finances and accounts for the acquisition, operation and maintenance of governmental
facilities and services. It is the District’s intention to recover the full costs of supplying
goods and/or services through user-charges.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
83
The District’s budget process was developed with a series of goals and objectives in
mind. These goals and objectives are communicated throughout the organization
through several meetings. During the process, the Board of Directors provides priorities
and guidelines to the General Manager. The General Manager then discusses Board
priorities and other future issues and concerns with Department Heads during staff
meetings. Once goals and objectives for the upcoming year are identified, the General
Manager and the District staff start developing the District’s budget. Where practical,
the District integrates performance measurement, service level, and productivity
indicators in the District’s adopted budget document. The District will continue to
emphasize the importance of meeting each department’s goals and objectives in order
to accomplish its long-term goals and objectives.
An increase in the Operating and Capital budget may result in water rate increases. In
order to minimize the impact on the District’s rates, revenue requirements are
scrutinized to achieve operating efficiencies and maintain or increase customer service
at the same time. As part of the cost containment efforts, District staff re-visits
operating priorities and reviews internal procedures to included utilizing outside services
when they can offer greater competitive advantages to doing it internally, or investing in
technology to increase productivity and to reduce the need for additional staff.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16

Revenues and Expenditures Policies
This policy is used as an aid to provide for the consistent provision of essential public
services since revenues and expenditures are the key drivers of the District’s
operations. The goal of this policy is to help ensure the financial stability regardless of
the economic situation and to provide information to the Board that revenue and
expenditure practices are consistent with the District’s mission and goals.
Revenues Policy
Budgeted revenues are estimated conservatively using an objective and analytical
approach using certain techniques such as historical trends and current information to
maintain consistency, reliability, and reasonableness.
User Charges
User charges are the most important component of the District’s revenue portfolio. The
District uses user charges to fund the provision of services provided to its customers.
The District utilizes a cost recovery component to determine how much costs need be
recovered from various customers. The cost of providing various services is used as
the basis for setting rates and fees to the various types of customers served.
The following are guidelines for the user charge setting process:
User charges are established utilizing a generally accepted cost recovery
methodology that is consistent and legally defendable using the following
approaches: revenue requirement analysis, cost of service analysis, and rate
design analysis.
Rate designs shall be reflective of the District’s Board of Directors’ rate setting
objectives.
Rates shall be set at a level so that the District will collect reliable revenues
through a combination of system access charges and users’ commodity rates to
pay for the District’s revenue requirement.
Rates and charges will be reviewed and updated regularly based on factors such
as the impact of inflation, other cost increases, the adequacy of the coverage of
costs and requirements of the rate covenant.
Expenditures Policy
The District’s expenditures reflect the Board of Directors’ and staff commitment to serve
present and future customers with reliable public services. The Board and Staff believe
that prudent expenditure planning and accountability will ensure fiscal stability.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
85
Budgeted expenditures are projected conservatively using an objective and analytical
approach as well as certain techniques such as historical trends, current information,
and economic indicators to maintain consistency, reliability, and reasonableness.
The basic components of the District’s expenditure policies are broken down into two
functional areas: Maintenance of Capital Assets and Review of Service
Maintenance of Capital Assets
Maintaining a reliable transmission and distribution system and a sustained capital
program are simply not possible without reliable funding sources. For this reason,
prudent financial planning is imperative to an effective capital improvement program.
The District uses a combination of “pay as you go” method and long term funding to
fund the District’s capital improvement program and maintenance of its capital assets.
A fixed annual amount was projected by an Asset Management Plan and is included in
the District’s Reserve Policy as an annual revenue requirement to be collected from
rates and charges. The annual contributions then are accumulated and kept in the
District’s capital fund to be spent and withdrawn for the District’s betterment and
replacement projects over a period of time.
The following elements of expenditure policy reflect the District’s philosophy to perform
ongoing maintenance of capital investments once they are purchased and capitalized:
Maintain consistency of allocation of resources for programs to carry out the
District’s mission and goals to its customers
Within the resources available each fiscal year, the District shall maintain capital
assets and infrastructure at a satisfactory level to protect the District’s
investment, to minimize the future replacement and maintenance costs, and to
continue service levels.
Review of Service
These expenditure policies are used by staff to prompt review of services to see if they
are being provided as effectively and efficiently as possible. The District’s review of
service policy is as follows:
Utilize technology and productivity advancements that will help reduce or avoid
increasing personnel costs, when practicable.
Control personnel costs as a proportion of total budget, to more productively and
creatively use available resources.

Financial Reserves Policy
A. GENERAL POLICY:
Maintaining adequate reserves is an essential part of sound financial management. The
Yorba Linda Water District Board of Directors realizes the importance of reserves in
providing reliable service to its customers, financing of long-term capital projects and
funding availability for emergencies should the need arise. Interest derived from reserve
balances shall be credited to the reserve account from which it was earned.
B. CATEGORIES:
YLWD shall accumulate, maintain and segregate its reserve funds into the following
categories:
Restricted and Designated Reserves
1. Board Designated Reserves; and
2. Contractually Restricted Reserves.
C. SCOPE:
This policy will assist the Board of Directors in establishing:
1. Target levels for reserve funds;
2. Requirements for the use of reserve funds; and
3. Periodic review requirements for each reserve.
D. PERIODIC REVIEW:
Staff and the YLWD Board shall review the reserve balances and targets annually as a
part of the annual budget process. The Finance-Accounting Committee will continue to
review all reserve and investment balances monthly, with a quarterly report going to the
full Board.
E. RESTRICTED AND DESIGNATED RESERVES:
1. Board Designated Reserves:

1.0 Operating Reserve
A. Definition and Purpose – Established to cover temporary cash flow
deficiencies that occur as a result of timing differences between the receipt of
operating revenue and expenditure requirements and unexpected
expenditures occurring as a result of doing business.
B. Target Level – The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA)
recommends that funding should be no less than one to two months (or 8% -
17%) of the District’s annual operating budget. The District’s current target
will be a minimum of 8% and a maximum of 17% of the annual operating
budget for both the water and sewer funds.
C. Events or Conditions Prompting the Use of the Operating Reserve – This
reserve may be utilized as needed to pay outstanding operating expenditures
prior to the receipt of anticipated operating revenues.
1.1 Emergency Reserve
A. Definition and Purpose – Established to provide protection recovery to the
District and its customers for losses arising from an unplanned event or
circumstance. The reserve level combined with YLWD’s existing insurance
policies should adequately protect YLWD and its customers in the event of a
loss.
B. Target Level – Established at a minimum level equal to $1,000,000 for the
water fund and shall accumulate interest and annual contributions as
determined by the District’s annual operation to a maximum level of
$4,000,000. The target for sewer will be a minimum of $250,000 and a
maximum of $1,000,000.
C. Events or Conditions Prompting the Use of the Emergency Reserve – This
reserve shall be utilized to cover unexpected losses experienced by the
District as a result of a disaster or other unexpected loss. Any reimbursement
received by the District from insurance companies as a result of a submitted
claim shall be deposited back into the reserve as replenishment for the loss.

1.2 Capital Replacement Reserve
A. Definition and Purpose – Established to provide capital repair and
replacement funding as the District’s infrastructure deteriorates over its
expected useful life.
B. Target Level – The Board-approved 2010 Asset Management Plan
recommended that the annual contribution to this reserve be at a minimum
level of $1,820,000 for the water fund and $345,000 for the sewer fund, less
money set aside for the Maintenance Reserve. Funding with available funds
based on the District’s operations shall be allocated quarterly.
C. Events or Conditions Prompting the Use of the Capital Replacement Reserve
– Through the annual budget process, staff shall recommend anticipated
asset replacement projects. The Board of Directors shall take action to
approve recommended project appropriations from the capital replacement
reserve. Should unplanned replacement be necessary during any fiscal year,
the Board of Directors may take action to amend the budget and appropriate
needed funds as required.
1.3 Maintenance Reserve
A. Definition and Purpose – Established to provide funding for non-scheduled
capital asset repair and replacement.

1.5 Employee Liabilities Reserve
A. Definition and Purpose – The purpose is to cover employees’ accrued
vacation and other compensatory time and to ensure the complete funding
associated with the liability incurred for employees whom have met the
requirements necessary for district paid health benefits at retirement.
B. Target Level – The annual contribution will be $100,000 ($93,000 for water
and $7,000 for sewer) to be evaluated and/or adjusted annually thereafter
based on an analysis of current employees’ vacation and sick time accrued
and actuarial determinations of future retiree costs. As of November 2, 2011,
an actuary determined that the District’s Other Post Employment Benefit
(OPEB) liability was $1,433,197. When combined with a liability on the
District’s books for vacation, compensatory and sick time of $1,063,572 at
June 30, 2012, the target is projected to be approximately $2,500,000 for the
combined water and sewer enterprises.
C. Events or Conditions Prompting the Use of the Employee Liabilities Reserve
– This reserve may be used in the event that operating funds are not
adequate to meet vacation, compensatory and sick time paid out or retiree
medical cost obligations within the current year.
2. Contractually Restricted Reserves:
These are funds held to satisfy limitations set by external requirements established by
creditors, grant agencies or law. Examples include stipulated bond covenants and
reserves held with a fiscal agent.
2.0 US Bank 2008 COP Reserve
A. Definition and Purpose – Established to cover reserve requirements held with
a designated fiscal agent (US Bank) for the 2008 Certificates of Participation.

Investment Policy
SECTION 1: GENERAL POLICY
1.1 It is the policy of the Yorba Linda Water District (“District”) to invest public funds
in a manner which ensures the safety and preservation of capital while meeting
reasonably anticipated operating expenditure needs, achieving a reasonable rate
of return and conforming to all state and local statutes governing the investment
of public funds.
1.2 The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of
funds of the District and to outline the policies for maximizing the efficiency of the
District’s cash management. The District’s goal is to enhance the economic
status of the District consistent with the prudent protection of the District’s
investments. This investment policy has been prepared in conformance with all
pertinent existing laws of the State of California.
SECTION 2: SCOPE
2.1 This Investment Policy applies to all funds and investment activities of the
District, except for the proceeds from capital project financing instruments, which
are invested in accordance with provisions of their specific documents. These
funds are accounted for as Enterprise Funds and are identified in the District’s
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
SECTION 3: DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
3.1 The authority of the Board of Directors to invest funds is derived from Section
53601 of the California Government Code (“CGC”). Section 53607 of the CGC
grants the Board of Directors the authority to delegate that authority, for a one-
year period, to the District’s Treasurer. Therefore, management responsibility for
the investment program is hereby delegated to the District’s Treasurer, who shall
be responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall establish a system of
controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials and their procedures in
the absence of the Treasurer. The Treasurer shall establish procedures for the
management of investment activities, including the activities of staff consistent
with this Policy.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
92
3.2 The Treasurer may retain the services of an outside investment advisor or
manager as approved by the Board to assist with the District’s investment
program. Any investment advisor selected shall make all investment decisions
and transactions in strict accordance with State law, and this Policy.
SECTION 4: INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
4.1 The primary objectives, in priority order, of the District’s investment activities shall
be:
4.1.1 Safety: Safety and preservation of principal is the foremost objective of
the investment program. Investments shall be selected in a manner that
seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the District’s overall portfolio.
This will be accomplished through a program of diversification and
maturity limitations, more fully described in Section 13, in order that
potential losses on individual securities do not exceed the income
generated from the remainder of the portfolio.
4.1.2 Liquidity: The District’s investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid
to enable the District to meet all operating requirements which might be
reasonably anticipated. Securities should mature concurrent with cash
needs to meet anticipated demands.
4.1.3 Return on Investments: The District’s investment portfolio shall be
designed with the objective of attaining the best yield or returns on
investments, taking into account the investment risk constraints and
liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance
compared to the safety and liquidity objectives.
SECTION 5: PRUDENCE
5.1 The standard of prudence to be used by the designated representative shall be
the “prudent investor” standard and shall be applied in the context of managing
the overall portfolio. The meaning of the standard of prudent investor is
explained in CGC Section 53600.3, which states that “when investing,
reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling or managing public funds,
a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the
circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic
conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting
in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
93
funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and
maintain the liquidity needs of the agency.”
5.2 The Treasurer and delegated investment officers, acting in accordance with
District procedures and the Policy and exercising due diligence, shall be relieved
of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price
changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion
and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.
5.3 Investments shall be made with judgment and care - under circumstances then
prevailing - which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the
management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment,
considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to
be derived.
SECTION 6.0: ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
6.1 Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from
personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the
investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial
investment decisions. Employees and investment officials shall disclose to the
District’s General Manager any material financial interests in financial institutions
that conduct business with the District’s boundaries, and they shall further
disclose any large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to
the performance of the District.
SECTION 7: AUTHORIZED BROKER/DEALERS
7.1 The Treasurer will maintain a list of authorized broker/dealers and financial
institutions that are approved for investment purposes. Broker/dealers will be
selected for credit worthiness and must be authorized to provide investment
services in the State of California. These may include “primary” dealers or
regional dealers that qualify under Securities & Exchange Commission Rule
15(C)3-1 (uniform net capital rule). No public deposit will be made by the
broker/dealer except in a qualified public depository as established by the
established state laws. Before a financial institution or broker/dealer is used,
they are subject to investigation and approval by the Treasurer or his/her
designated representative, and must submit the following:
7.1.1 Certification of having read and understood this investment policy
resolution and agreeing to comply with the District’s investment policy;
7.1.2 Proof of Federal Investment Regulatory Authority certification;
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
94
7.1.3 Proof of State of California registration;
7.1.4 Audited financial statements for the institution’s three (3) most recent fiscal
years;
7.1.5 References of other public-sector clients that similar services are provided
to.
7.2 If a third party investment advisor is authorized to conduct investment
transactions on the District’s behalf, the investment advisor may use their own list
of approved independent broker/dealers and financial institutions. The
investment advisor’s approved list must be made available to the District upon
request.
SECTION 8: AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS
8.1 The District is provided a broad spectrum of eligible investments under the CGC
Sections 53601 et seq. Authorized investments shall also include, in accordance
with CGC section 16429.1 et seq., investments into the Local Agency Investment
Fund (LAIF) and the Orange County Treasurer’s Commingled Investment Pool in
accordance with CGC section 53684. Within the investments permitted by the
CGC, the District seeks to further restrict eligible investment to the investments
listed in Section 8.3 below. Percentage holding limits listed in this section apply
at the time the security is purchased. Ratings, where shown, specify the
minimum credit rating category required at purchased without regard to +/- or
1,2,3 modifiers, if any.
8.2 The purchase of any investment permitted by the CGC, but not listed as an
authorized investment in this Policy is prohibited without the prior approval of the
Board of Directors.
8.3 Within the context of these limitations, the following investments are authorized:

SECTION 9: REVIEW OF INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
9.1 The securities held by the District must be in compliance with Section 8
Authorized Investments at the time of purchase. The Treasurer shall at least
quarterly review the portfolio to verify that all securities are in compliance with
Section 8 Authorized Investments. In the event a security held by the District is
subject to a credit rating change that brings it below the minimum credit ratings
specified in Appendix A Authorized Investments, the Treasurer should notify the
Finance-Accounting Committee - and through the Committee’s minutes, the
Board - of the change. The course of action to be followed will then be decided
on a case-by-case basis, considering such factors as the reason for the change,
prognosis for recovery or further rate drops, and the market price of the security.
SECTION 10: INVESTMENT POOLS
10.1 A thorough investigation of any investment pool or mutual fund is required prior
to investing, and on a continual basis. The investigation will, at a minimum,
obtain the following information:
10.1.1 A description of eligible investment securities, and a written statement of
investment policy and objectives;
10.1.2 A description of interest calculations and how it is distributed, and how
gains and losses are treated;
10.1.3 A description of how the securities are safeguarded (included the
settlement processes), and how often the securities are priced and the
program audited;
10.1.4 A description of who may invest in the program, how often and what size
deposit and withdrawal are allowed;
10.1.5 A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings;
10.1.6 Are reserves, retained earnings, etc. utilized by the pool/fund;
10.1.7 A fee schedule and when and how it is assessed;
10.1.8 Is the pool/fund eligible for bond proceeds and/or will it accept such
proceeds.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
97
SECTION 11: COLLATERALIZATION
11.1 Bank Deposits: Under provisions of the CGC, California banks and savings and
loan associations are required to secure the District’s deposits by pledging
eligible securities with a value of 110% of principal and accrued interest. State
law also allows financial institutions to secure District deposits by pledging first
trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the District’s total deposits.
11.2 Waiver of Security: The Treasurer, at his/her discretion and in accordance with
CGC section 53653, may waive security for the portion of any deposits as is
insured pursuant to federal law.
SECTION 12: SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY
12.1 All security transactions entered into by the District shall be conducted on a
delivery-versus-payment basis. Securities will be held by a third party custodian
designated by the Treasurer and evidenced by safekeeping receipts. The only
exception to the foregoing shall be depository accounts and securities purchases
made with (i) local government investment pools, and (ii) money market mutual
funds, since those purchased securities are not deliverable.
SECTION 13: DIVERSIFICATION AND MAXIMUM MATURITIES
13.1 The District will diversify its investments by security type and institution. With the
exception of U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Agency Securities, FDIC Insured Certificates
of Deposit and authorized pools, no more than 30% of the District’s total
investment portfolio will be invested in a single security type or with a single
financial institution.
13.2 To the extent possible, the District will attempt to match its investments with
anticipated cash flow requirements. Unless matched to a specific cash flow and
approved in advance by the Board of Directors, the District will not directly invest
in securities maturing more than 5 years from the date of purchase.
SECTION 14: INTERNAL CONTROLS
14.1 The external auditors will annually review the investments and general activities
associated with the investment program. This review will provide internal control
by assuring compliance with the Investment Policy and District policies and
procedures.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
98
SECTION 15: PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
15.1 The investment portfolio will be designed with the objective of obtaining a rate of
return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, commensurate with the
investment risk constraints and the cash flow needs.
15.2 The District’s investment strategy is passive. The performance of the District’s
investment portfolio will be evaluated and compared to an appropriate
benchmark in order to assess the success of the investment portfolio relative to
the District’s Safety, Liquidity and Return on Investments objectives. This review
will be conducted annually with the Finance-Accounting Committee.
SECTION 16: REPORTING
16.1 Subject to CGC sections 53607 and 53646(b), the Treasurer will provide monthly
investment reports to the District’s Finance-Accounting Committee (and through
the Committee’s minutes, to the Board of Directors) and quarterly reports to the
Board of Directors which provide a clear picture of the status of the current
investment portfolio. The reports shall comply with the reporting requirements of
CGC sections 53607 and 53646(b), respectively.
SECTION 17: INVESTMENT POLICY ADOPTION
17.1 The District’s Investment Policy will be adopted by resolution of the Board of
Directors. The policy will be reviewed on an annual basis and modification, if
any, must be approved by the Board of Directors.

Subject:Conservation Update and Monthly Water Supply Report
SUMMARY:
A mild and damp month of June coupled with conservation efforts from District Customers led to a
38% Residential Gallons Per Capita Per Day reduction for Yorba Linda Water District.
That trend continued through most of July with unseasonable rain showers keeping production
numbers down thus far.
The Metropolitan Water District Water Supply Report for the month of July is attached.

TO: Member Agencies – MWDOC Division One
FROM: Brett R. Barbre, Director – Division One
SUBJECT: Monthly Water Usage Data, Tier 2 Projection & Water Supply Information
The attached figures show the recent trend of water consumption in Orange County (OC),
an estimate of Tier 2 volume for MWDOC, and selected water supply information.
Fig. 1 OC Water Usage, Monthly by Supply OCWD Groundwater water was the
main supply in May.
Fig. 2 OC Water Usage, Monthly, Comparison to Previous Years Water usage in
May 2015 was well below average compared to past usage. May rainfall was
well above average and May average high temperatures were well below
average. May rainfall was the highest since May of 1998.
Fig. 3 Historical OC Water Consumption OC water consumption is predicted to be
about 583,000 AF in FY 2014-15. This is about 34,000 AF less than FY 2013-
14 but is about 31,000 AF higher than FY 2010-11 (Fiscal year with lowest
usage). Although OC population has increased 20% over the past two
decades, water usage has not increased, on average. A long-term decrease
in per-capita water usage is attributed mostly to Water Use Efficiency (water
conservation) efforts. High Temperature, precipitation and the economy all
remain indicators to O.C. water consumption.
Fig. 4 MWDOC “Firm” Water Purchases, 2015 “Firm” water above the Tier 1 limit
will be charged at the higher Tier 2 rate. Our current projection of Tier 2
purchases is zero in 2015.
Water Supply Information Includes data on: Rainfall in OC; the OCWD Basin overdraft;
Northern California and Colorado River Basin hydrologic data; the State Water Project
(SWP) Allocation, and regional storage volumes. The data has implications for the
magnitude of supplies from the three watersheds that are the principal sources of water for
OC. Note that a hydrologic year is Oct. 1st through Sept. 30th.
Memorandum
Orange County’s accumulated rainfall through May was below average for this
period. This continues the impact of the previous three hydrologic years’ below-
normal rainfall in reducing those local supplies that are derived from local runoff.
Northern California accumulated precipitation in May was around 75% of normal for
this period. The Northern California snowpack was 5% of normal as of April 1st, the
date used for year-to-year comparison. This follows three below-average hydrologic
years. The State of California has been in a declared Drought Emergency since
January 2014. The State Water Project Contractors Table A Allocation is only 20%
as of the end of May. This percentage will most likely remain 20% due to dry
conditions throughout the state.
Colorado River Basin accumulated precipitation in June was a little 91% average for
this period. The Upper Colorado Basin snowpack was 64% of average as of April
15th. However, this follows two below-average hydrologic years, and this watershed
is in a long-term drought. Lake Mead and Lake Powell combined have about 59% of
their average storage volume for this time of year. Lake Mead is the largest
reservoir in the United States and as of now the Lake is at its lowest levels since
filling in the late 1930’s. If Lake Mead’s level falls below a “trigger” limit, then a
shortage will be declared by the US Bureau of Reclamation (USBR), impacting
Colorado River water deliveries for the Lower Basin states. The USBR predicts that
the “trigger” limit could be reached as early as June 2015 and most likely in March
2016.
