PUBLIC COMMENTS None. 4. ACTION CALENDAR 4.1. Minutes of the YLWD/City of Placentia Joint Agency Committee Meeting held July 27, 2015 The minutes for this meeting were approved as presented. 5. DISCUSSION ITEMS 5.1. Fluoride in Water Sources Director Brett Barbre reported on the fluoridation of MWD water, which began in 2010, after receipt of a $5.5 million grant to design and construct fluoridation facilities. MWD water is provided to portions of Placentia by GSW. Groundwater is also provided to Placentia by GSW and by YLWD, which has a naturally occurring low-level of fluoride. Mr. Marc 1 Marcantonio reported that the fluoridation of drinking water has been and remains an issue of concern for many communities and residents. 5.2. City of Placentia Compliance with Drought Mandate Mr. Ken Vecchiarelli reported that GSW was mandated to achieve a 24% reduction in water use and has achieved a 31% reduction for the months of June through September for its Placentia/Yorba Linda service area. Mr. Marcantonio reported that YLWD was mandated to achieve a 36% reduction and has achieved a cumulative 41% reduction in this same time frame. 5.3. YLWD Drought Response, Water Conservation/Drought Penalty Ordinances, and Community Outreach Efforts YLWD drought response is as noted above. Mr. Marcantonio reported that on September 17, YLWD conducted a Public Hearing to consider increases in its water and sewer rates. Following receipt of public comments, and the counting of protest letters (which were less that the necessary threshold) the Board voted unanimously to increase rates effective October 1, 2015. Mr. Damien Arrula asked if YLWD could provide an estimate of the impact of the rate increase on the City of Placentia's water meter accounts in YLWD. Mr. Damon Micalizzi indicated that YLWD would calculate and provide that information to the City. 5.4. Enforcement of Governor's Mandate on Water-Use Restrictions Mr. Micalizzi reported that the State Water Resources Control Board has initiated action against eight water retailers in the State that have not made an adequate response to meet their mandated water-use restrictions. Mr. Marcantonio pointed out that the State Board has initiated action to force two small mutual water companies with water quality problems to be taken over by an adjacent larger city water system. He also noted that there have been comments made by State Board staff in recent meetings that indicate that the State Board likely will call for the continuation of the 25% state-wide water reduction beyond its February 2016 end date, regardless if there is a wet winter or not. 5.5. Items for Next Agenda These same items will be placed on the agenda for the next meeting. 6. ADJOURNMENT 6.1. The meeting was adjourned at 2:50 p.m. The next YLWD/City of Placentia/Golden State Water Company Interagency Committee meeting will be held on December 8, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. at the City of Placentia. 2
