SUPPLY AND DEMAND COMPARISON
In the event of a multiple-dry year period, the supply will decrease and the demand will increase •
due to dry conditions. In dry water years, the amount of water that YLWD extracts from the
Lower Santa Ana Basin is expected to decrease. In addition, increased demand and decreased
supply during these dry-water years will require YLWD to purchase additional water from
MWDOC to compensate for the decreased local supply and increased residential demand.
MWDOC has supplied projections for the amount of water that is projected to be available to
YLWD during multiple-dry years occurring between the years of 2010 and 2030. The
projections are provided for 3 consecutive-year periods of time, and based upon local hydrology
during the driest historic 3 consecutive-years, 1959 to 1961. The following tables demonstrate
that the available supply will meet the projected demand.

CHAPTER 6.0: DEMAND MANAGEMENT MEASURES
6.1 DEMAND MANAGEMENT MEASURE IMPLEMENTATION
The Yorba Linda Water District implements numerous programs dedicated to water
conservation, many of which are performed on a regional level through MWDOC. YLWD
coordinates with MWDOC to obtain funding, and to implement rebate programs, educational
outreach, and additional Best Management Programs (BMPs). This provides consistency
between all retail water agencies in Orange County and within the region and allows a
coordinated public conservation campaign.
The Yorba Linda Water District currently implements, or plans to implement, all of the applicable
required Demand Management Measures. Table 6.1-1: Implementation of Demand
Management Measures details the implementation, status of cach Demanc Management
Measure.

5.11 Water Survey Programs for Pesidential Customers
In the past, a formal program was implemented in which a qualified surveyor checked water-
using devices within single and multi-family homes to evaluate landscape and irrigation
programs. This program ceased in the fiscal year ending in June of 2002. Additionally, survey
programs are not planned for future implementation. As an alternative, the following programs
are made available to target landscape and irrigation water consumption reduction.
SmarTimer Rebate Program (as of 2004):
The Yorba Linda Water District participates in the regional SmarTimer Rebate Program. The
Program allows customers to receive a rebate when they purchase and install a new, state-of-
the-art, weather-based sprinkler timer that saves up to 41 gallons per day per residential
installation. It also reduces runoff and pollution by 49 percent. While no installations have been

Protector Del Agana Irritation Management Training:
The Yorba Linda Water District (in conjunction with NiWDOC) provides education to residential
homeowners on a variety of landscape water efficiency practices they can employ in their
homes. A series of four classes or one mini class is made available to educate the community
about basic landscape design, landscape plants, landscape sprinkler systems and landscape
watering/fertilizing. A summary of the Orange County community participation in this program is
summarized in fable 61-2 Protector Del Agua Irrigation Management Training Residential

6.1.2 Res4der?tial 5~lu~~is~g Retra~ft
According to [he 2301 Orange County SaiuraPioii Siuoy conducted by MVVDOC and
Metropolitan, water agencies throughout Orange County have achieved the required 75 percent
saturation of low-flow showerhead use supported by a 95 percent confidence level. Since
1991, a total of 9,972 low-flow showerheads, paid for by MWDOC, have been installed in the
YLWD service area A summary of these installations and the resulting water savings in AFY is
demonstrated in table 6.1-3: Residential Plumbing Retrofit by the Yorba Linda Water District
below. The calculated annuai water savings are based on 5.56 GPD per device savings. The
calculations incorporate devices installed in previous years, and do not take into account the life
cycle of the device. Yorba Linda has achieved the goal of 75 percent saturation of low-flow
showerhead use, and has since discontinued promotion of the program. However, upon
request, YLWD will accommodate District customers.

6.1.E System Water Audits. Leak Detection and Pr cair
Water that exits the distribution system and cannot be accounted fur is known as unaccounted-
for water. Some of the most common factors that contribute to unaccounted-for water include
leaks in pipelines, main breaks, fire hydrant testing and flushing, storage tank drainage and
maintenance, inaccurate meters, unauthorized use and un-metered services. For YLWD, the
quantity of unaccounted-for water was determined by subtracting the total consumption from
the total production. The difference between the two totals represents the amount of
unaccounted-for water. According to the 2005 Domestic Water System Master Plan, YLWD
has experienced an average of 4 percent unaccounted-for water losses per year over the last
10 years varying between 2 and 8 percent. Typically this value falls within the range of 5 to 10
percent for most water systems; therefore, Yorba Linda maintains relatively low unaccounted-
for water losses

6.1.3.1 Meter Maintenance Program
Water meters are key to the District's ability to collect revenues for the water it sells. However,
like any other mechanical device, water meters require routine maintenance to function
nrr)periy Typically, water meters that are not regularly maintained will read less than the actual
amount flowing, out it is also not uncommon for these meters to stop working altogether. I he
interval at which water meters should be maintained varies with meter type, meter size, water
use patterns, water quality, and other parameters. Small residential and commercial meters
should be tested every 5 to 10 years and rebuilt or replaced as appropriate. Large meters
should be calibrated annually and rebuilt or replaced as required. Typically, the calibration of
larger meters can be checked with the meter in place. If a problem is identified, then the meter
can be replaced with a new or refurbished one and the existing meter pulled out for repairs. If it
is found that a large number of meters are not reading properly when they are inspected, then
the maintenance schedule would be shortened.

6.1.3.2 Pipe' f lacement Program
Yorba Linda Water District's distribution system includes about 640 miles of 4 to 39-inch water
mains. According to the YLWD 2005 Domestic Water System Master Plan, an average of 1
percent of the existing pipelines should be replaced each year. Rehabilitation projects, such as
relining of the existing pipe, typically reduce the useful diameter and are therefore only practical
where excess capacity exists. Rehabilitation includes replacement of main line valves, fire
hydrants, and appurtenances.

5.1.4 INetenng with Commodity Rates
Metering with commodity rates by wholesale a d retail agencies has been an industry standard
throughout Orange County for many years. It involves setting water rates based upon the
external costs of importing water or producing water from local sources, the internal costs of
distribution and service and establishing the sources for financing or funding these costs.
Currently, the Yorba Linda Water District charges a minimum service charge of $7.92 per
monthly bill with and additional fee of $1.57 billed per 100 cubic feet (748 gallons) of water. The
following table, Table 6. 1-6: Metering with Commodity Rates for All New Connections
and Retrofit of Existing Connections, lists a summary of the projected and planned commodity
rate metering program.

~.1 S Large Landscape Conse,,v.Ati n Programs s $k'",r linceM1[L'1" .s
• These programs are offered in Orange County to assist retail agencies and their large
landscape customers to use water efficiently. The programs offered are as follows:
1. Landscape Performance Certification Program
As of 2003, a program entitled Landscape Performance Certification Program, which
provides a water based budget for designated meters has been available to YLWD
customers for participation. This program involves developing water budgets based on
agency-provided consumption data, site-provided area measurement.. local weather data
and contact information for the site owner, the responsible landscape company and a
property manager On a monthly basis the site's water budget is developed by water
meter data and provided back to the three involved entities (the property owner, the
property manager and the landscape company) in an e-mail report card format. Also
included is a wehsltp w/harp all invnlvprf martipc ran vip\A/ the cita_cnarifir hiirinpt
numbers. These numbers illustrate whether a meter is over. under. or right on their
budget. Included is a calculation based on individual water rates showing dollars lost.
This program does not have a formal landscape survey component or a
marketing/targeting strategy for landscape surveys. Financial incentives offered to
improve landscape water use efficiency and regional funding for these programs are
available from Metropolitan. While no budgets have been developed to date within the
YLWD service area, it is anticipated that they will be developed in the future.

residential homeowners on a variety of landscape water efficiency practices they can
employ in their homes. A series of four classes or one mini class is offered to encourage
community participation covering basic landscape design, landscape plants, landscape
sprinkler systems and landscape watering/fertilizing.
3. SmarTimer Rebate Program
The Yorba Linda Water District is a participant in the regionally coordinated SmarTimer
Rebate Program. The Program allows customers to receive a rebate when they
purchase and install a new, state-of-the-art, weather-based sprinkler timer that saves
up to 41 gallons per day per residential installation. It has been demonstrated to reduce
runoff and pollution by 49 percent. Within the YLWD service area, no installations have
been made tc date.
Risk Management Professionals
The Yorba Linda Water District, in conjunction with MWDOC, has made available materials with •
the goal of identifying and correcting specific water wasting situations. Large Landscape Audits
are offered to governmental, industrial and commercial entities. Emphasis of the materials is on
assisting landscape managers in making more efficient use of water by identifying and
correcting problems with irrigation systems, recommending more efficient irrigation practices
and recommending a reduction of turfgrass areas and replacement with drought-tolerant plant
materials.
4. Artificial Grass
in the future, the Yorba Linda Water District may participate in a program to install artificial grass
in large landscape areas, including school activities fields. This program may include funding
for up to 50% of the total purchase and installation cost.

5 1.e! Schcol Education Programs
One of the most successful and well-recognized water-education curriculums in Southern
California is the School Education Program coordinated regionally by MWDOC, YLWD, and
other regional agencies. For more than 30 years, teachers, assisted by mascot "Ricki the
Rambunctious Raindrop," have been educating students in grades K-12 about the water cycle,
the importance and value of water and the personal responsibility we all have as environmental
stewards.
Since its inception in January 1973, the School Education Program has evolved into what has
become the standard for all water-education curriculums. In 2004, the Program formed an
exciting partnership with the Discovery Science Center that has allowed both parties to reach
more Orange County students each year and provide them with even greater educational
experiences in the areas of water and science. To date nearly 2.5 million Orange County

. YLWD's customers are charged an identical rate for all water consumed above a minimum
service charge that is based on the size of their water meter. The District has continued to
research ways for achieving further gains in water use efficiency. Alternatives to the current
billing arrangement are discussed below.
a. Flat Rate Increase. This alternative would raise water rates above current levels.
The concept of "price elasticity" assumes that consumption of a product will
decrease if the cost of the product is increased. Price elasticity could be assumed
with regard to discretionary uses of water beyond the minimum required for drinking,
cooking and health needs.
b. increasing Block Rates. This alternative calls for the initial block quantity of water
use to approximate low winter usage levels The lowest block cost would apply the
first block consumed durino the billino period Hioher foes are assessed for
subsequent blocks. The higher incremental cost of subsequent blucks assumes
price will motivate consumers to practice rnnBerv2tion measures by installing water
saving devices and/or drought tolerant landscaping-
These practices are also in various stages of development and may be implemented as
• conditions warrant and the benefits of their adoption are found to be worthwhile. These pricing
programs are designed to promote water copse vation

Over the past ten years. YLWD (in conjunction with MWDOCI has implemented ULFT rebate
and distribution programs. The rebate program began in 1997 and has provided incentive to its
customers to replace high water using devices with ULFTs by providing a rebate between $50
and $90 for such replacement. The distribution program ended in 2003. The program involved
the distribution of ULFTs out of agency or school parking lots. When the program initially
started, a co-pay ranging between $30 to $50 was required for all participants. Beginning in
2002, free ULFTs were offered to agencies who resided in both OCWD and OCSD's service
area.
Marketing materials such as water bill inserts, direct mailers, or brochures are developed
regionally to advertise, promote, and/or distribute to Orange County customers. All funding for
both the rebate and replacement program was made available by MWDOC therefore, YLWD
did not incur any expenditures for this program.
The tabies on the fofiowinq pages detail the rebate and distribution or U!_F f s within the YLVVI)
service area. No direct installs or Community Based Organizalion (CBO) distributions were
made available F-r all replacements made. water savings totals 23 4 aa!!ons per d Ty per
device for single-family users and 48.7 gallons per day per device for multi-family users. The
annual water savings were calculated incorporating devices installed in previous years. •

CHAPTER 8.0: WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY
PLAN
8.1 Urgency Ordinance
With population growth, energy shortages, earthquakes, and the threat of terrorism experienced
by California; maintaining the gentle balance between water supply and demand is a
complicated task that requires planning and forethought. In the event that a water shortage
occurs, simple measures can be implemented to conserve the water supply at a public level.
Urgency Ordinance No.91-02 (Appendix E) enables the YLWD Board of Directors to adopt an
emergency water management program if the necessity is found. In addition, the California
legislature enacted in 1949 specific statutory authority for rationing applicable to all public water

shortage, it is empowered to adopt regulations and restrictions on the delivery and consumption
of water to conserve the water supply for the greatest public benefit. Service can, if necessary, •
be discontinued to customers who willfully violate established regulations.

with severe monetary penalties for YLWD.
6 YLWD has broad authority to enact water conservation rules under the laws of the State of
California; and,

8.1.1 Stages of Action
In Table 8.1-1: Water Supply Shortage Stages and Conditions, stages are discussed during
which various conservation measures will be imposed by Ordinance No. 91-02, beginning with
voluntary conservation and leading to various stages of mandatory compliance in the event that
the water supply experiences shortages up to a 50% reduction of the water supply.

of 100 gallons per day per additional person for four (4) to a maximum of seven (7) persons
per household.
3 Customers with multiple metered connections in the same revenue classification, serving
similar land uses may, upon approval in advance by the YLWD, allocate the Base Target
Amount between their connections.
4 In cases where there is insufficient historical data to establish a Base Target Amount, YLWD
shall establish a Base Target Amount by comparing water users similar as to type, lot or
home size, landscape sophistication and economic location.
5 The Base Target Amount may be established and adjusted based upon a determination by
the Board of Directors of high priority and low priority water uses.

18. 2 MINIMUM SUPPLY FOR THE NEXT THREE YEAR$
i In order to prepare for and prevent water supply shortage, it is useful to estimate the future
minimum supply. The minimum water supply available to the Yorba Linda Water District for
next three years is estimated based upon the driest three year historic sequence, and is
compared to a normal three year estimate. To balance the effects of multiple dry years, more
water will be imported from MWDOC resulting in an increase in the minimum supply during
multiple dry years compared to normal years
Through regional modeling efforts, MWDOC has determined minimum water supplies available
for the Yorba Linda Water District for each of the next three years, 2006 - 2008. Table 8.2-1.
Three-Year Estimated Minimum Water Supply compares supplies available under normal
conditions and supplies available under a hypothetical repeat of the historical driest three year
period for the Yorba Linda Water District, 1959-1961.
During multiple-dry years, less IOC@l SLnpl;es are available for retail ccnsunlption and retail
demands increase, resulting in the use of increased imported supplies from Metropolitan, via
MWDOC, to offset the reduction in local supplies. Even with the decrease in local supplies.
'vorba Linda Water District is expected to meet all retail consumption during a three-year dry
period of 2006-2008 based on the three driest years on record. In addition, Metropolitan is
expected to be able to supply all of MWDOC's imported water during the same period
Metropolitan's 2005 Regional Urban Water Management Plan indicates that Metropolitan can
provide 100% of the supply demanded by its member agencies unfi 2030.

8.3 CATASTROPHIC SUPPLY INTERRUPTION PLAN
i
As a California jurisdiction, the Yorba Linda Water District could experience a catastrophic
interruption in the water supply as a result of a regional power outage, earthquake, terrorism, or
other event. A successful recovery plan is dependent upon an in-depth understanding of the
vulnerability of each source of supply, delivery system, and distribution system to potential
catastrophes. Possible catastrophes are listed in Table 8.3-1 and preparation actions being
taken to reduce the severity of each event are discussed below.

•
8.3. Y Regional Power Coutage
1-he operation of YLWD's groundwater wells and booster pump stations is dependent on the
energy source. Backup sources of energy such as propane tanks, emergency generators, and
natural gas supplies, are available at many of YLWD's facilities. These alternative energy
sources improve the reliability of YLWD's water supply. Additionally, the existence of multiple
wells within YLWD's facilities creates redundancy and reduces the likelihood that all wells will be
out of service simultaneously.
8.3.2 Earthquake
The Yorba Linda Water Distract has implemented seismic criteria (e.g., seismically actuated
valves, flexible piping, etc.) into the design of new reservoirs as the standard since 1997 In
addition, flexible piping is used for the gas lines providing power to booster pumps and well
sites.
Risk Man?gement Pmfessior^.als
YLWD has developed a comprehensive Emergency Response Plan to address the specific
responses to earthquakes, damage assessments, evacuations, and major line breaks. The
Emergency Response Plan also identifies agency and mutual aid contacts to help restore
YLWD's critical water system infrastructure.
R.3.3 Terrorism
f o address terrorism catastrophes, YLWD has completed an extensive Security Vulnerability
Assessment according the Sandia National Laboratories Risk Assessment Methodology for
Water Systems (RAM-Wsm). As part of this project, YLWD prioritized criteria, prioritized
facilities, characterized high priority facilities, developed threat scenarios based upon threat
assessment methodologies, and used a Scenario-Based Assessment approach to develop
recommendations in the form of prioritized lists of a_cui-,tr counee n-,easures YLWD is currently

YLWD is organized pursuant to the provisions of County Water District law under Division XII of
the California Water Code (Section 30000 et seq.). Accordingly, YLWD has the authority to
adopt Ordinances and Rules and Regulations to
1. Restrict the use of water during any emergency situation caused by drought or other
conditions.
2 Prohibit the waste of water or the use water during such periods for any purposes other
than household, restricted, or nonessential uses as determined by the district.

program r:alled the Incremental Interruption Conservation Pmgrarn !IICP). irtended to reduce
the amount of water delivered to its member agenr.ies under severe deficiencies. The IICP
established six levels of reduction by up to 50% depending on drought and water supply
conditions. Metropolitan's IICP is no longer in effect.
Revisions of the IICP and deletion of the voluntary stage (Stage 1) were adopted by
Metropolitan's Board of Directors in the Metropolitan 1995 Drought Management Plan (DMP)
This plan included step-by-step strategies for evaluating supply and demand conditions and
utilizing Metropolitan s available options. Several phases are incorporated into the. DMP with
the final phase being the implementation of mandatory stages of the IICP. The 1995 DMP was
not implemented in 1995 because of the above normal statewide precipitation in January and
February of that year and because Metropolitan received a 100 percent allocation of its State
Water Project supply.
As part of the implementation of the regional Integrated Resources Planning (IRP), Metropolitan
developed a Water Surplus and Drought Management (WSDM) Plan for Southern California in
April 1999. The guiding principle of the WSDM Plan is to manage Metropolitan's water
resources and water management programs to minimize the adverse impacts of water supply
shortages to retail riistomers The 1MSDM PI?n contains specific actions to be taken in drought
conditions to meet consumptive demands for water. This plan directs Metropolitan's resource
operations to help attain the region's 100% reliability goal. The WSDM Plan was updated in
Risk Management Professionals •
2004 to account for changes impacting supplies from tire Colot ado Diver and California's Bay-
uelia. in the past. Metropolitan has developed drought management plans that simply
. addressed shortage actions and primarily focused on issues of short-term conservation and
allocation of imported water. The WSDM Plan recognizes the interdependence of reliability
The overall goal of the WSDM Plan is to ensure that shortage allocation of Metropolitan's
imported water supplies is not required
8.4.1.1 Yorba Linda Water District
YLWD has implemented many of the voluntary and mandatory programs identified in Chapter 6
of this Plan. These programs are designed to either increase local supply and/or reduce
consumption during short term and/or long term deficiency periods. YLWD's response to water
supply shortages is only part of a coordinated effort that includes, but is not limited to, planning
by Metropolitan, MWDOC. OCWD, other agencies adiacent to the. nictrict the ('.itv of Ynrha

8.6 REVENUE IMPACT ANALYSIS
In the event that a decrease in water supply occurs for an extended period of time, YLWD could •
face a potential loss requiring the water enterprise to draw from any reserves and also re--
examine the revenue stream in order to balance the budget. It is thus important to consider
possible measures to overcome revenue and expenditure impacts.
