2015 Urban Water Management Plan EVMWD
SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW This report presents the 2015 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) for the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (EVMWD) service area. This section describes the general purpose of the UWMP, discusses UWMP implementation, and provides general information about EVMWD and service area characteristics. Referenced for the 2015 UWMP is included in Appendix A.
1.1 Background and Purpose An Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) is a planning tool that generally guides the actions of water management agencies to support long-term resources planning and ensure adequate water supplies are available to meet existing and future water demands. While the conservation and efficient use of urban water supplies are statewide and global concerns, developing and implementing plans for efficient use can best be accomplished at the local level. Thus, an UWMP provides both managers and the public with a broad perspective of the water supply issues that may affect their service area. Furthermore, while a UWMP may specify a strategic agenda for reliable water supplies, it is not to be substituted for project-specific planning documents. The identification of opportunities within a UWMP are non-binding such that it neither commits a water management agency to pursue a particular opportunity, nor precludes a water management agency from exploring opportunities that were not identified in the plan. Additionally, should a project be approved for implementation within a service area, the appropriate detailed project plans and analyses must be prepared separate from the UWMP. In short, this UWMP is a planning tool, providing a framework for action, but not requiring specific project development or action. Water resources management in California is not a matter of certainty and planning projections may change in response to a number of factors. Thus, it is important that this Plan be viewed as a long-term, general planning document, rather than as an exact blueprint for supply and demand management. Development of this Plan is an effort to generally answer a series of planning questions including:
What are the potential sources of water supply and what are their probable yields?
What is the probable demand, given a reasonable set of assumptions about growth and implementation of good water management practices?
How comparable are the supply and demand figures, assuming that the various probable supplies will be pursued by the implementing agency? EVMWD will address these questions by identifying feasible and cost-effective opportunities to meet existing and future demands. EVMWD will explore enhancements to supplies from traditional sources such as groundwater as well as other options, including water exchanges, water recycling, indirect potable reuse, and water banking/conjunctive use. Each opportunity that is identified as a feasible option within the service area will further undergo specific, detailed evaluations to determine how each option would fit into the overall supply/demand framework, how each option would impact the environment, and how each option would affect customers. The objective of these more detailed
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 1-1 EVMWD
Section 1 Introduction and Overview
evaluations is to find the optimum combination of conservation and supply programs to ensure that the needs of the customers are met. The California Urban Water Management Planning Act requires preparation of a plan that:
Accomplishes water supply planning over a 20-year period in five-year increments.
Identifies and quantifies adequate water supplies, including recycled water, for existing and future demands, in normal, single-dry, and multiple-dry years.
Implements conservation and efficient use of urban water supplies. In 2009, an amendment to the UWMP Act was passed (Senate Bill 7, or SB X7-7). This amendment requires a 20 percent reduction in per capita water use statewide by year 2020. SB X7-7 provides water conservation targets by region and requires each urban water supplier to develop interim (2015) and 2020 urban water use targets consistent with the requirements of the bill. EVMWD’s urban water use targets are presented in Section 5 of this UWMP. Additional recent changes and amendments to the UWMP Act which impact urban water suppliers include:
Provide water use projections for single-family and multifamily residential housing needed for lower income households.
A 60-day notification period for the public hearing to all cities and counties within which the supplier provides water.
Linkage of Demand Management Measures (DMMs) to State-funded grants or loans. A checklist to ensure compliance of this Plan with the Act and recent amendments is provided in Appendix B. In summary, the Plan answers the question: Will there be enough water for EVMWD in future years, and what combination of programs should be explored for making this water available? It is the stated goal of EVMWD to “provide reliable, cost-effective, high quality water and wastewater services that are dedicated to the people we serve”. Based on conservative water supply and demand assumptions over the next 20 years in combination with conservation of non-essential demand during certain dry years, the Plan successfully achieves this goal.
1.2 Urban Water Management Planning and the California Water Code Below is a summary of the California Water Code (CWC) sections that are applicable to UWMPs and some of the major changes in the UWMP since it’s creating in 1983. Full detail of the CWC sections that are applicable to the UWMPs are found in Appendix A and C of the 2015 UWMP Guidebook.
1.2.1 Urban Water Management Planning Act of 1983 Assembly Bill (AB) 797 established the UWMP Act on September 21, 1983. Passage of this law by the California Legislature recognized that water is a limited resource and that efficient water use and
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 1-2 EVMWD
Section 1 Introduction and Overview
conservation would be actively pursued throughout the State. Conservation and efficient water use is a statewide concern, but the planning of water use and implementation of water conservation is best accomplished at the local level. The UWMP Act requires water suppliers in California, providing water for municipal purposes either directly or indirectly to more than 3,000 customers or supplying more than 3,000 acre-feet per year (AFY) of water, to prepare and adopt a plan every five years which defines their current and future water use, sources of supply, source reliability, and existing conservation measures. The UWMP Act requires that each water supplier prepare or update its UWMP every five years in years ending in five and zero. The plan is to be submitted to Department of Water Resources (DWR).
1.2.2 Applicable Changes to the Water Code since 2010 UWMPs The Water Code is constantly being adapted to reflect the current water environment. SB X7-7 was added in 2009 to address the existing drought. Since 2010, eight main adjustments to the water code have been established and are described below: 1) Demand Management Measures: Requires water suppliers to provide a narrative of their existing demand management measures, the actions completed over the past five years to meet their demand management measures, and required tasks to meet their water use targets 2) Submittal Date: The 2015 UWMP must be submitted to the DWR by July 1, 2016. 3) Electronic Submittal: The plan, or amendments, are to be electronically submitted to DWR 4) Standardized Forms: DWR created standardized UWMP forms that are to be included in the Plan 5) Water Loss: Requires the plan to report on water loss within the distribution system 6) Estimating Future Water Savings: Allows for water use projections to take into account water savings estimated from adopted codes, standards, or ordinances when the information is available 7) Voluntary Reporting of Energy Intensity: A supplier can include energy related information, such as estimates of energy to provide water 8) Defining Water Features: Water features artificially supplied with water (such as ponds, lakes, waterfalls, and fountains) shall be defined separately from swimming pools and spas. The 2010 UWMP used population projections using 2000 census data and population growth models. These population projections were then used to develop the per capita 2020 water use goals. After the 2010 census data was released in 2011, the actual population was greater than the projected population, thus affecting the 2020 water use goals. Therefore, as part of the 2015 UWMP, the population used in calculating the 2020 water use goals in the 2010 UWMP will be updated to reflect the population derived from the 2010 census data. Therefore, new 2020 water use goals will be established in the 2015 UWMP.
A more detailed description of these changes are included in Appendix C of the 2015 UWMP Guidebook.

Section 1 Introduction and Overview
1.2.3 Water Conservation Act of 2009 (SB X7-7) The most significant amendment to the UWMP Act was Senate Bill 7 of the 7th Extraordinary Session (SB X7-7 Steinberg) passed in 2009, which requires a 20 percent reduction in per capita use by the year 2020. The California 20x2020 Program (Program) is a statewide municipal water conservation program. In February 2008, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger established a statewide goal of 20 percent reduction in urban per capita use of potable water by the year 2020. When the Bill was established, urban water users in California consumed 8.7 million AFY of potable water; under the Program, Californians would save enough water (approximately 1.74 million AFY) to serve more than two million families each year. The California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) along with DWR and five other state agencies prepared the 20x2020 Water Conservation Plan, which sets forth a statewide road map to maximize the state’s urban water efficiency and conservation opportunities between 2009 and 2020, and beyond (SWRCB, 2010). SB X7-7 was passed in the state Senate and Assembly in late 2009 to mandate the Program. This bill requires a statewide reduction in urban per capita water usage of 20 percent by December 31, 2020. The bill also requires that the state achieves incremental progress towards the goal by reducing the per capita usage by 10 percent by December 31, 2015. The bill requires each urban water supplier to develop interim and final urban water use targets consistent with the requirements of the bill. Urban water suppliers are required to comply with the requirements established by the bill on or before July 1, 2016 in order to be eligible for state water grants or loans. DWR has developed specific guidelines to address the SB X7-7 requirements in the 2015 UWMP. These requirements are addressed in the subsequent sections of this report. Methods to calculate baseline demands and water use targets have been developed by DWR in accordance with the law, and are provided in the DWR Guidebook. The law provides flexibility to the agency preparing the UWMP to develop baseline demands and water use targets using methodologies of their choice. There are currently two methods listed in the DWR Guidebook in accordance with SB X7-7 on how to establish a baseline demand (designated as base daily per capita water use):
10-year average per capita use for periods ranging from 1995-2004 to 2001-2010
15-year average if recycled water use is greater than or equal to 10 percent of the demand The law requires each retail water supplier to develop urban water use targets by July 1, 2011 using one of the following methods: 1) Eighty (80) percent of the urban retail water supplier’s base daily per capita water use. 2) The per capita daily water use that is estimated using the sum of the following performance standards: a. For indoor residential water use, 55 gallons per capita daily (GPCD) water use as a provisional standard. Upon completion of the DWR’s 2016 report to the Legislature pursuant to Section 10608.42, this standard may be adjusted by the Legislature by statute.

Section 1 Introduction and Overview
b. For landscape irrigated through dedicated or residential meters or connections, water efficiency equivalent to the standards of the state’s Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. c. For commercial, industrial, and institutional (CII) uses, a 10-percent reduction in water use from the baseline CII water use by 2020. 3) Ninety-five percent of the applicable state hydrologic region target, as set forth in the state’s draft 20x2020 Water Conservation Plan (dated April 30, 2009). For the South Coast hydrologic region, this target is 142 GPCD. 4) The difference between the base daily per capita water use and the estimated water savings from indoor residential use, unmetered water deliveries, CII use, landscape use, and system water loss. A more detailed description of these methodologies is provided in Section 5.
1.3 Urban Water Management Plans in Relation to Other Planning Efforts Water resources planning encompasses more than just the most recent UWMP. EVMWD will utilize other documents and planning processes as necessary in order to develop a more complete and effective UWMP. Some of these documents include:

SECTION 2 PLAN PREPARATION This section will provide information on EVMWD’s process for developing this UWMP, including efforts in coordination and outreach.
2.1 Basis for Preparing a Plan CWC 10617 “Urban water supplier” means a supplier, either publicly or privately owned, providing water for municipal purposes either directly or indirectly to more than 3,000 customers or supplying more than 3,000 acre-feet of water annually. An urban water supplier includes a supplier or contractor for water, regardless of the basis of right, which distributes or sells for ultimate resale to customers. This part applies only to water supplied from public water systems… CWC 10620 (b) Every person that becomes an urban water supplier shall adopt an urban water management plan within one year after it has become an urban water supplier. CWC 10621 (a) Each urban water supplier shall update its plan at least once every five years on or before December 31, in years ending in five and zero, except as provided in subdivision (d). (d) Each urban water supplier shall update and submit its 2015 plan to the department by July 1, 2016. In accordance with the California Water Code (CWC), urban water suppliers must develop a UWMP every five years. An “urban water supplier” is a supplier providing water for municipal purposes to more than 3,000 service connections or supplying 3,000 or more acre-feet of water per year. EVMWD had 42,691 service connections in December 2015, and therefore surpasses the 3,000 service connection threshold and has developed a 2015 UWMP.
2.1.1 Public Water Systems Public Water Systems (PWSs) are the systems that provide drinking water for human consumption.

(b) At a minimum, the form shall be developed to accommodate information sufficient to assess an urban water supplier’s compliance with conservation targets pursuant to Section 10608.24… The form shall accommodate reporting by urban water suppliers on an individual or regional basis as provided in subdivision (a) of Section 10608.28. The California Health and Safety Code defines a “Public Water System” as shown below: California Health and Safety Code 116275 (h) “Public Water System” means a system for the provision of water for human consumption through pipes or other constructed conveyances that has 15 or more service connections or regularly serves at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year. EVMWD has a PWS that meets the definition and therefore is required to develop and submit a 2015 UWMP.
2.1.2 Agencies Serving Multiple Service Areas/Public Water Systems EVMWD serves as a wholesaler to Farm Mutual Water Company. Farm Mutual Water Company has under 3,000 service connections, serves under 3,000 acre-feet per year (AFY), and therefore does not have to complete a UWMP. Farm Mutual Water Company receives all of its water from EVMWD. EVMWD and Farm Mutual Water Company PWS summary is shown in Table 2-1 below.

Other benefits of regional planning include more reliable water supply, improved water quality, increased regional self- reliance, and reduced conflict over resources. Although benefits can be derived from regional planning, complications can arise from working with multiple suppliers and a more detailed, localized plan can be developed by a single water supplier.

SECTION 3 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION This section includes a description of the EVMWD service area and climate, population demographics, and boundary maps.
3.1 General Description CWC Section 10631 A plan shall be adopted in accordance with this chapter that shall do all of the following: (a) Describe the service area of the supplier EVMWD was incorporated on December 23, 1950, under the provisions of the California Municipal Water District Act of 1911. The purpose of EVMWD is to finance, construct, operate, and maintain water and wastewater systems serving properties within EVMWD’s boundaries. At the time of its incorporation, EVMWD had too low of an assessed valuation to become a member of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan), which was formed in 1928 by a legislative act to provide supplemental water for its member agencies in Southern California. Western Municipal Water District (Western MWD) was formed in 1954 under the Municipal Water District Act of 1911 to bring supplemental water from Metropolitan to growing western Riverside County. Following Western MWD’s annexation to Metropolitan, EVMWD was annexed to Western MWD’s service area in 1954 (EVMWD, 2016a). A bond election was held in 1955 that provided $1,600,000 in capital funding for transmission, storage, treatment, and limited distribution facilities for the importation and distribution of Metropolitan water within EVMWD. Subsequent negotiations with the Temescal Water Company (TWC) resulted in the Railroad Canyon Storage Agreement (1955), which provided EVMWD with 3,000 acre-feet of storage capacity in Railroad Canyon Reservoir (EVMWD, 2016a). During 1956 and 1957, construction proceeded on the Lake Elsinore loop transmission system and Improvement District No. 1. Also during this period, several small mutual water companies petitioned EVMWD to accept their physical facilities and operate them. These were Elsinore Valley Mutual, Kilmeny Lot Owner’s Mutual, Landowner’s Mutual, Grand Avenue Mutual, Lakeview Mutual, and Clayton Mutual water companies. The first delivery of Metropolitan water started on April 8, 1957 (EVMWD, 2016a). In July 1962, Improvement District No. 2 encompassing the Meadowbrook area was formed, which increased the EVMWD service area by one-third. Services were extended to the El Cariso area by the formation of Improvement Districts 3A and 4 and to the Eucalyptus Grove area by the formation of Assessment District 65-1 under the Improvement Act of 1911. During 1967-68, Improvement District U- 1 serving the Rancho Capistrano area was formed. The formation of Improvement District U-2 during 1967-68, serving the Canyon Lake Development, was the initial step to providing sewer service within EVMWD. In 1969, the assets of South Elsinore Mutual Water Company were purchased, and the services in that area were consolidated with regular operations. The acquisition of the TWC in 1989
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 3-1 EVMWD
Section 3 System Description
increased the service area of EVMWD to the Temescal Valley. This portion of District’s service area became the Temescal Division (EVMWD, 2016a). EVMWD was a wholesaler to the Elsinore Water District (EWD), which was located northwest of Lake Elsinore and entirely surrounded by EVMWD’s service area. In 2011, EVMWD acquired EWD and their pipe network and other facilities northwest of Lake Elsinore. Today, the residents within the EVMWD boundary are served by one of two water service agencies: EVMWD, and The Farm Mutual Water Company. The Farm Mutual Water Company is located entirely within EVMWD boundaries, and obtain most of their water wholesale from EVMWD. EVMWD also provides wastewater and recycled water service to customers. EVMWD is legally empowered, but does not currently, provide services for stormwater disposal facilities, and fire protection facilities. As a municipal water district, EVMWD has the authority to act in its own name to make and enter into contracts; to incur debts, liabilities, or obligations; and to issue bonds, notes, warrants, and other evidences of indebtedness. EVMWD also has the authority to collect revenues in the form of rates and charges for facilities and services provided. EVMWD has the power to levy ad valorem (property) taxes and acquire property and rights-of-way by eminent domain procedures.
3.2 Service Area Boundary Maps The EVMWD service area is composed of the Cities of Lake Elsinore and Canyon Lake, and portions of the City of Wildomar, Murrieta and un-incorporated Riverside County and Orange County land. EVMWD’s service area is divided into two divisions: the Elsinore Division and the Temescal Division. The map of the service area is shown on Figure 3-1. The Elsinore Division makes up the majority of the service area with approximately 42,700 accounts, encompassing an area of 96 square miles. The Temescal Division is isolated from the Elsinore Division and is located to the northwest of the Elsinore Division. It covers an area of approximately 2.5 square miles and has approximately 500 accounts. Although EVMWD obtained EWD, the EVMWD service area has remained the same since the previous Plan because EWD’s population and water use was included in the previous plan calculations since EWD received all their water from EVMWD. The Temescal Division service area (TDSA) is located northwest of the EVMWD service area and is a self-sustained water division, hydraulically separated from EVMWD. EVMWD owns two wells (Station 71 and Mayhew Well) that provide a sufficient supply of water to meet the demand for TDSA. In August 2013, the Coldwater pump station was completed with the capability of supplying surplus groundwater from TDSA to EVMWD. If available, surplus water pumped by the Coldwater pump station combines with the imported TVP water before it enters EVMWD’s system. In addition, recent facility improvements have allowed TDSA to receive water from the Temescal Valley Pipeline (TVP) in emergencies.

3.3.1 Climate Change Climate plays a central role in the operation, planning, and management of water resource systems for water supply, flood management, and environmental stewardship. Expectations of the timing and form of precipitation; the timing, magnitude, and distribution of runoff; and, the availability of water for beneficial use are based on our understanding of the climate system and experience with historic meteorological and hydrological events. The potential impacts of climate change on water resources may be felt through changes in temperature, precipitation, and runoff. Particularly, the EVMWD is subject to the following climate vulnerabilities:
More frequent and longer droughts would reduce imported water supply reliability and decrease local water quality and habitat. The implications of climate change regionally and nationally may adversely impact the following EVMWD water resources: State Water Project (SWP) “Table A” entitlements – Reductions to the Sierra snowpack would reduce the availability of water during late spring and early summer and may make it more difficult to fill reservoirs. This would require the State to further reduce SWP “Table A” entitlements, including allocations to EVMWD. Computer models have been developed to show water planners how California water management might be affected by climate change. DWR has committed to continue to update and refine these
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 3-4 EVMWD
Section 3 System Description models based on ongoing scientific data collection and to incorporate this information into future California Water Plans. In the future EVMWD should update their water management plan to be in-step with DWR updates on SWP delivery reliability and water demands. Section 6.10 describes in more detail how EVMWD plans to respond and mitigate the impacts associated to climate change.
3.4 Service Area Population and Demographics CWC Section 10631 Describe the service area of the supplier, including current and projected population …The projected population estimates shall be based upon data from the state, regional, or local service agency population projections within the service area of the urban water supplier and shall be in five-year increments to 20 years or as far as data is available . Current population was estimated using two different methods: DWR’s population tool (https://wuedata.water.ca.gov/ secure/login.asp) and using 2010 Census data and the Riverside County Center for Demographic Research (RCCDR) projections (RCCDR, 2016). Projected population is based on RCCDR growth forecasts. EVMWD service area population is projected forward by the growth rate for the Cities of Lake Elsinore, Wildomar, Murrieta, Canyon Lake, and Unincorporated Los Angeles County land. Using the DWR population tool, the 2015 population was projected to be at 161,600. The DWR “population tool calculates the 2015 Persons per Connection by creating a trend line of the Persons per Connection from 2000 to 2010 and continues that trend to the year 2015. For example, if there were a decline in the Persons per Connection from 2000 to 2010, the tool continues that declining trend to the year 2015. If this does not represent the actual trend for your water supplier, the calculated population for 2015 may not be accurate.” (DWR, 2016) For 2015, it was projected the Persons per SF Connection was 3.43, while the Persons per SF Connection in 2010 was 3.16. However, the population was also calculated using the 2010 census data, where the population is tabulated for each census block located within the service area. For census blocks partially located within the service area, the estimated population is adjusted based on the percentage of the census block area located within the service area. Census blocks are also visually inspected against aerial imagery to validate the adjustments made for blocks that are partially located within the service area. The 2010 population is calculated for the portion of each City enclosed within the EVMWD service boundary The RCCDR population project rates for each City are then applied to the portion of the City within EVMWD service boundary. Using the 2010 census data and the RCCDR population projections, the 2015 population was calculated to be 149,600. Therefore, there is a difference of 12,000 people between using the Persons per Connection and the RCCDR projections. The DWR tool allows a modification to calculate the 2015 population by multiplying the 2010 Persons per Connection by the number of connections in 2015. Using the 2010 Persons per Connection, the projected 2015 population is 149,300. The population using the 2010 Persons per Connection is almost identical to the RCCDR population projections. Therefore, the modification to the DWR tool will be used. The tables from the DWR Population tool are included in Appendix C.

The projected populations is based on 2010 census data and RCCDR projections.
3.4.1 Other Demographic Factors CWC 10631 Describe the service area of the supplier, including... other demographic factors affecting the supplier’s water management planning. EVMWD serves communities that are the suburbs of Los Angeles and Orange County cities. Ninety three percent of the service connections within EVMWD are single-family residential connections. There are no large commercial or industrial water consumers within EVMWD, and therefore the demand is almost entirely dependent on residential connections. EVMWD’s population remains consistent throughout the year and does not have a seasonal population. Demographics from the Census Bureau for only the City of Lake Elsinore are shown below in Table 3-3 (Elsinore, 2016b). The Housing types is determined from the EVMWD water connections.

SECTION 4 SYSTEM WATER USE This chapter describes historical and current water usage and presents projected future demands within EVMWD’s service area. Water usage is presented by customer class such as residential, industrial, institutional, landscape, agricultural, and other purposes. Demand projections contain an inherent level of uncertainty and are intended to provide a general sense as to water supply requirements for the future. Demand projections are dynamic, often changing as a result of economic, political, and environmental pressures. Several factors can affect demand projections, including:
Land use revisions
New regulations
Consumer choice
Economic conditions
Transportation needs
Environmental factors
Conservation programs
Plumbing codes These factors can impact not only the amount of water needed, but also the timing and location of when and where it is needed. Since EVMWD is highly residential, population growth is the most influential factor in determining water demand projections. During the recent economic recession, there was a major downturn in development and new construction, consequently reducing projected demands for water. The projections presented in this Plan do not attempt to forecast extreme economic or climatic changes. Likewise, no speculation was made regarding future plumbing codes or other regulatory changes. The projections do account for EVMWD’s current water conservation efforts, which are projected to reduce overall water demand by 20 percent by 2020.
4.1 Recycled versus Potable and Raw Water Demand Section 4 addresses potable water demand and also summarizes the recycled water demand for the year 2015. Existing and future recycled water supply is discussed in Section 6.
4.2 Water Uses by Sector CWC 10631 (e)(1) Quantify, to the extent records are available, past and current water use, over the same five-year increments described in subdivision (a), and projected water use, identifying the uses among water use sectors, including, but not necessarily limited to, all of the following uses:

2015 Urban Water Management Plan 4-2 EVMWD
Section 4 System Water Use demand projections were determined using two alternative approaches, a population based approach and a land-use based approach. The population approach was performed using two alternative methods: 1) Method 1 calculated the average per capita consumption use from 2009 to 2013 and then multiplied that rate by the projected population (Section 3) based on 2010 census data and Riverside County Center for Demographic Research (RCCDR) growth projections. 2) Method 2 separates the residential use from the commercial-industrial-institutional (CII) use, and calculates the residential gallons per capita per day (GPCD) use and the CII gallons per employee per day (GPED) use. The GPCD and the GPED are then multiplied by the projected population and employment rates, respectively. Both these methods are described in Section 3 of the 2015 Water System Master Plan. The land-use approach develops future water demand from known planned developments and from the general plan. Known development’s equivalent dwelling units were converted into a demand, and the general plan was used to develop demands for vacant parcels based on water duty factors. The water duty factors are determined for each land use type based on existing demand for particular types of land use. The population projection Method 2 had the most conservative estimates for water projection and therefore was used to develop the demand projections. The demand projections are summarized in Table 4-2. The projected demands for each water use sector type was kept in proportion to the 2015 distribution of demands, besides the water losses that are kept constant.

4.2.1.5 Institutional (and governmental) A water use dedicated to public service. This type of user includes, among other users, higher education institutions, schools, courts, churches, hospitals, government facilities, and nonprofit research institution. CWC 10608.12 (i)
4.2.1.6 Landscape Water connections supplying water solely for landscape irrigation. Such landscapes may be associated with multi-family, commercial, industrial, or institutional/governmental sites, but are considered a separate water use sector if the connection is solely for landscape irrigation.
4.2.1.7 Sales to other agencies EVMWD is a wholesaler to Farm Mutual Water Company. EVMWD sells water to Farm Mutual Water Company and is the Farm Mutual Water Company’s only source of water.
4.2.1.8 Conjunctive Use Conjunctive Use is included in the 2015 UWMP Guidebook for the Demand Sectors listed in Water Code. However, the Guidebook also states, “conjunctive use is seen as a management strategy rather than a demand. Do not use the sector “conjunctive use” as a demand” (DWR, 2016). Instead, the conjunctive use program will be seen as a supply during average year conditions. Therefore, EVMWD’s conjunctive use program is described in Section 6.2.

Section 4.3 describes the methodology to quantify system losses based on the approved DWR method. The water loss audit described in Section 4.3 and included in Table 4-1 are based on a fiscal year (FY) (July to June) rather than the calendar year. However, since the most recent water audit was conducted for the 2013-2014 FY, the demand from this audit will be included in Table 4-1.

Section 4 System Water Use
4.2.3 Recycled Water Demands The EVMWD recycled water system is divided into four hydraulically separated zones. The recycled water demand from all four of these zones can be separated into three categories: 1) Landscape irrigation meters: Irrigation of parks, schools, cemeteries, churches, residential, streetscapes, slope protection, or public facilities. Water to maintain aesthetic impoundments within landscaped areas is include with landscape irrigation. These customers are served by the Horsethief WRF, Railroad Canyon WRF, and Santa Rosa WRF 2) Golf courses: Irrigation of golf courses. EVMWD recycled water currently serves two golf courses. These customers are served by the Railroad Canyon WRF and Santa Rosa WRF. 3) Recreational Impoundment: Addition of water to maintain water levels in a lake for recreation or other non-potable uses. EVMWD provides water to maintain Lake Elsinore and water for Temescal Wash. This recycled water comes from Regional WRF.
The demands for the recycled water system for EVWMD are described in detail in Section 6.5.4. The Regional Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) discharges its recycled water effluent to maintain the level of Lake Elsinore usually during normal and dry years and the remaining portion (minimum is 0.5 mgd per EVMWD’s permit) into the Temescal Wash. Based on a settlement agreement between EVMWD and the City of Lake Elsinore, EVMWD must release water into Lake Elsinore when the water surface elevation is less than 1,240 ft (Superior Court, 2003). Based on hydrologic analyses prepared for EVMWD and the Lake Elsinore-San Jacinto Watershed Authority (LESJWA), maintaining the level of Lake Elsinore requires an average of about 5,900 acre-ft/yr of replenishment water and up to 10,300 acre-ft/yr during dry years (MWH, 2005b). EVMWD was issued a NPDES permit for the Regional WRF that allows it to treat up to 8 mgd and discharge up to 7.5 mgd into Lake Elsinore for lake stabilization, 0.5 mgd to Temescal Wash for wetland enhancement and any remaining effluent for recycled water use (Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), 2005) Table 4-3 summarizes the existing and projected potable water and recycled water demands. The recycled water projection demands in Table 4-3 include only metered customers and golf course use demands, and does not include the recycled water used for surface water augmentation for Lake Elsinore and Temescal Wash, or the available recycled water for groundwater IPR (discussed in Section 6). The amount of groundwater recharge through IPR will be analyzed through groundwater management and feasibility studies. The estimated recycled water demand remains constant from 2020-2040 in Table 4-3 since it is currently unknown what new developments will add to the recycled water demand after 2020. However, the estimated water projection for these new demands is captured in the potable water supply. Therefore, if recycled water is used as developments are established, the potable water demand will decrease and the recycled water use will increase.

For all subsequent updates, the distribution system water loss shall be quantified for each of the five years preceding the plan update. (B) The distribution system water loss quantification shall be reported in accordance with a worksheet approved or developed by the department through a public process. The water loss quantification worksheet shall be based on the water system balance methodology developed by the American Water Works Association. Distribution system water losses (also known as “real losses”) are the physical water losses from the water distribution system and the supplier’s storage facilities, up to the point of customer consumption. EVMWD has begun completing annual water audits using the American Water Works Association Water Audit Method. The most recent water audit available at the time of this UWMP is the water audit for the 2013-14 fiscal year. The water losses in EVMWD’s distribution system for this reporting period totaled 1,796 acre-feet and is summarized in Table 4-4.

4.4 Estimating Future Water Savings CWC 10631 (e)(4)(A) If available and applicable to an urban water supplier, water use projections may display and account for the water savings estimated to result from adopted codes, standards, ordinances, or transportation and land use plans identified by the urban water supplier, as applicable to the service area. (B) To the extent that an urban water supplier reports the information described in subparagraph (A), an urban water supplier shall do both of the following: (i) Provide citations of the various codes, standards, ordinances, or transportation and land use plans utilized in making the projections.(ii) Indicate the extent that the water use projections consider savings from codes, standards, ordinances, or transportation and land use plans. Water use projections that do not account for these water savings shall be noted of that fact. The demand projections do not include water savings from codes, standards, ordinances or transportation and land use plans. The demand projects are below the Water Conservation Efforts of a 20 percent reduction by 2020 goals set by the SB X7-7.
4.5 Water Use for Lower Income Households CWC 10631.1 (a) The water use projections required by Section 10631 shall include projected water use for single- family and multifamily residential housing needed for lower income households, as defined in Section 50079.5 of the Health and Safety Code, as identified in the housing element of any city, county, or city and county in the service area of the supplier. California Health and Safety Code 50079.5 (a) “Lower income households” means persons and families whose income does not exceed the qualifying limits for lower income families… In the event the federal standards are discontinued, the department shall, by regulation, establish income limits for lower income households for all geographic areas of the state at 80 percent of area median income, adjusted for family size and revised annually. California Water Code 10631.1 requires retail urban water suppliers to provide water use projections for future single-family and multifamily residential housing needed for lower income households. These water use projections are to assist a supplier in complying with state code which grants priority of the provision of service to housing units that is affordable to lower income households.
A low income household is defined as a household that has an income lower than 80 percent of the county’s median income. Low income housing projections are developed by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA) Plan – Planning Period (January 1, 2014 – October 1, 2021) are used to forecast the number of low income housing units for the 2020-2040 period.
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 4-8 EVMWD
Section 4 System Water Use
As a first step, projected low-income households for each City and unincorporated areas within EVMWD’s service area are extracted from SCAG RHNA data. The percentage of the population from each City within EVMWD’s service area is then multiplied by the number of low-income households to determine how many low-income households are within EVMWD’s service area. Based on persons per household estimates developed by the California Department of Finance for 2015, the number of people associated with the low-income households can be determined by multiplying the number of low-income households by the persons per household. Table 4-5 shows the projected number of people in low-income households using the persons per household developed by the California Department of Finance for 2015. Some assumptions used to develop the projections of the number of people in low income households include: 1) the average persons per household remains constant at the 2015 level 2) lower income housing needs is proportional to the projected population growth Table 4-5 Future Projections –Number of People in Low-Income Households EVMWD Cities and Persons per Unincorporated Areas of Household (1) 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035 2040 Riverside County Lake Elsinore 3.58 8,373 9,586 10,704 11,754 12,695 13,704 Murrieta 3.24 353 367 379 393 405 419 Wildomar 2.76 87 89 91 92 94 96 Canyon Lake 3.31 3,682 4,193 4,555 4,916 5,331 5,768 Unincorporated Areas 3.19 2,086 2,504 2,968 3,385 3,732 4,110 Total 14,580 16,738 18,696 20,541 22,257 24,096 (1) Developed from California Department of Finance Table E-5 (2) Low income household data obtained from SCAG RHNA
The existing distribution between single family residential (SFR) and multi-family residential (MFR) households meters within EVMWD will be used to determine the split between single family and multi- family residents since the RHNA plan does not distinguish between single family and multi-family residents. Of the residential billing meters, 95 percent are single family residential and five percent are multi-family residential. The demands associated with the low-income households are then calculated by multiplying the number of people in each category with the target per capita water use (187 gpcd) (see Section 5 for the calculation of the 2020 water use target). The results of this analysis are presented in Table 4-6.

Table 4-7 shows how the projected water use does not include future water savings from codes, standards, or ordinances. The future demands implicitly include the projected demands from the low- income housing. The low-income housing demands are included in the demand projections calculated in Table 4-2 and were not separated out of the demand projection calculations. Therefore, if the projected low-income housing demands from Table 4-6 were included in addition to the projected demands in Table 4-2, then these demands would be double counted. Therefore, although the low- income demands are calculated in Table 4-6, these demands are not added to the projected demands calculated in Table 4-2.

4.6 Climate Change Increased drought risk as a result of climate change may impact demands in the future. A combination of state- and local-led demand management measures may reduce demand for irrigation via landscape ordinances while public outreach and education can lead to reductions in water demands through conservation measures. However, a majority of these demand management measures have unquantifiable reductions in demand. A more detailed discussion of potential climate change impacts are presented in Section 3 and Section 6.

SECTION 5 BASELINES AND TARGETS With the adoption of the Water Conservation Act of 2009 (SB X7-7), the State is required to set a goal of reducing urban water use by 20 percent by the year 2020. Each retail urban water supplier must determine baseline water use during their baseline period and also target water use for the years 2015 and 2020 in order to help the State achieve the 20 percent reduction. In the 2015 UWMP, water agencies must demonstrate compliance with their established water use target for the year 2015. This will also demonstrate whether or not the agency is currently on track to achieve its 2020 target. Compliance is verified by DWR’s review of the SB X7-7 Verification Form submitted with an agency’s 2015 UWMP. The SB X7-7 Verification Form is found in Appendix D and summarized below.
5.1 Guidance for Wholesale Agencies EVMWD is a wholesale agency to Farm Mutual Water Company, with an average of about 400 AFY. However, this does not meet the urban wholesale water supplier definition of a wholesale agency by providing more than 3,000 AFY. Therefore, this section does not apply.
5.2 Updated Calculations from 2010 UWMP CWC 10608.20 (g) An urban retail water supplier may update its 2020 urban water use target in its 2015 urban water management plan required pursuant to Part 2.6 (commencing with Section 10610). Methodologies DWR 2011, Methodology 2 Service Area Population Page 27 - Water suppliers may revise population estimates for baseline years between 2000 and 2010 when 2010 census information becomes available. DWR will examine discrepancy between the actual population estimate and DOF’s projections for 2010; if significant discrepancies are discovered, DWR may require some or all suppliers to update their baseline population estimates. The following subsections detail the changes from the 2010 UWMP based on direction from DWR.
5.2.1 Update of Target Method In the 2010 UWMP, EVMWD calculated a 2020 Urban Water Use Target using Method 2, which is a summation of three performance standards: indoor residential use, outdoor residential use, and commercial, industrial, and institutional (CII) use. A detailed process was done in 2010 to determine the landscape area based on GIS layers of parcels and aerial imagery. Letters were sent out to all residential customers to verify the estimated irrigated areas within their parcels. The 2020 target in the 2010 UWMP using Method 2 was 244 gpcd. However, the 2010 UWMP estimated a smaller population in EVMWD’s service area for 2010 than the actual population from the 2010 U.S. Census data, and therefore the 2020 target projections need to be re-evaluated. Since the post-2010 landscape change and special landscape area data are unavailable, EVMWD will use Method 1 to determine the 2020 target. This will be discussed in more detail in Section 5.7.
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 5-1 EVMWD
Section 5 Baselines and Targets
5.2.2 2010 U.S. Census Data After examining a sample of data from Department of Finance, DWR has determined that significant discrepancies exist between DOF’s projected populations for 2010 (based on 2000 U.S. Census data) and actual population for 2010, based on 2010 U.S. Census data. If an agency did not use the 2010 Census data for their baseline population calculation, the agency must recalculate their baseline population in the 2015 UWMP. EVMWD used the 2000 U.S. Census data in their calculation of the 2010 UWMP population, and therefore calculated the population projections using the 2010 U.S. Census data for the 2015 UWMP.
5.2.3 SB X7-7 Verification Form Section 5 includes many of the standardized tables of the SB X7-7 Verification Form. The complete set of tables can be found in Appendix D.
5.3 Baseline Periods CWC 10608.20 (e) An urban retail water supplier shall include in its urban water management plan due in 2010… the baseline daily per capita water use…along with the bases for determining those estimates, including references to supporting data. (g) An urban retail water supplier may update its 2020 urban water use target in its 2015 urban water management plan required pursuant to Part 2.6 (commencing with Section 10610). Under section 10608.20 of SB X7-7, urban retail water suppliers are required to report a baseline daily per capita water use, an urban water use target, an interim urban water use target, and a compliance daily per capita water use in their 2015 UWMP. Supporting data and bases for the estimates are also required. To calculate the baseline water use, the supplier must first define the base period. This is either a 10- year period if recycled water use in 2008 was less than 10 percent of the total water delivered or a 15- year period if recycled water use in 2008 was greater than 10 percent. EVMWD’s recycled water distribution in 2008 was under 10 percent and therefore their baseline water use is based on a 10-year base period. In addition to the 10-year base period, DWR also requires that an evaluation be performed over a 5-year continuous period, ending no earlier than December 31, 2007 and no later than December 31, 2010. Table 5-1 presents the baseline period ranges which have remained unchanged since the 2010 UWMP.

If the amount of recycled water delivered in 2008 is 10 percent or greater, the first baseline period is a continuous 10‐ to 15‐year period. 2The ending year must be between December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2010. 3The ending year must be between December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2010. NOTES:
5.3.1 10-15 Year Baseline Period (Baseline GPCD) CWC 10608.12 (b) “Base daily per capita water use” means any of the following: (1) The urban retail water supplier’s estimate of its average gross water use, reported in gallons per capita per day and calculated over a continuous 10-year period ending no earlier than December 31, 2004, and no later than December 31, 2010. (2) For an urban retail water supplier that meets at least 10 percent of its 2008 measured retail water demand through recycled water that is delivered within the service area of an urban retail water supplier or its urban wholesale water supplier, the urban retail water supplier may extend the calculation described in paragraph (1) up to an additional five years to a maximum of a continuous 15-year period ending no earlier than December 31, 2004, and no later than December 31, 2010. The same 10-year period used in the 2010 UWMP, from 1999 to 2008, is used in the 2015 UWMP.
5.3.2 5-Year Baseline Period (Target Confirmation) CWC 10608.12 (b) (3) For the purposes of Section 10608.22, the urban retail water supplier’s estimate of its average gross water use, reported in gallons per capita per day and calculated over a continuous five-year period ending no earlier than December 31, 2007, and no later than December 31, 2010. The same 5-year period used in the 2010 UWMP, from 2003 to 2007, is used in the 2015 UWMP.

5.4 Service Area Population CWC 10608.20 (e) An urban retail water supplier shall include in its urban water management plan due in 2010…the baseline per capita water use,…along with the bases for determining those estimates, including references to supporting data. (f) When calculating per capita values for the purposes of this chapter, an urban retail water supplier shall determine population using federal, state, and local population reports and projections. CWC10644 (a)(2) The plan…shall include any standardized forms, tables or displays specified by the department. EVMWD service area populations for the baseline period is calculated using the DWR population tool (Table 5-2) and is shown in Table 5-1. The tool requires the number of single-family and multi-family residential connections to estimate population. The number of service connections were available for 2000 and 2010, so service connections and population for 2001-2009 are interpolated between 2000 and 2010 census population. Table 5-3 summarizes EVMWD’s service area population for the baseline periods. The SB X7-7 Table 3 is included in Table 5-3.

California Code of Regulations Title 23 Division 2 Chapter 5.1 Article Section 596 (a) An urban retail water supplier that has a substantial percentage of industrial water use in its service area is eligible to exclude the process water use of existing industrial water customers from the calculation of its gross water use to avoid a disproportionate burden on another customer sector. The Gross Water Use for each of the years in the baseline period is all the water supplied to EVMWD service boundary. EVMWD receives water imported water through the Auld Valley Pipeline and Temescal Valley Pipeline, treated surface water from Canyon Lake Water Treatment Plant, and groundwater. There have been no exports, changes in system storage, indirect recycled water use, or agricultural deliveries. Gross water use tables for individual sources for the baseline periods are included in Appendix D and summarized in Table 5-3 (SB X7-7 Table 5).

CWC 10608.20 (g) An urban retail water supplier may update its 2020 urban water use target in its 2015 urban water management plan… DWR published four methods to determine the urban water use target. Methods 1 through 3 were established in the Water Conservation Bill of 2009. Method 4 was subsequently prepared by DWR and an advisory committee consistent with the requirements of Section 10608.20 of the Water Code. An urban water purveyor can use any one of the four methods to determine its interim and 2020 water use targets. These methods are briefly summarized below:
Method 1 Target water use is 80 percent of the 10-year base daily per capita water use.
Method 2 Target water use is the summation of three performance standards: indoor residential use; outdoor landscape use; and commercial, industrial, and institutional (CII) use.
Method 3 Target water use is 95 percent of the regional 2020 water conservation goal.
Method 4 Target water use is obtained by subtracting water savings from indoor residential use; unmetered water deliveries; CII use; landscape use; and system water loss from the 10- year base daily per capita water use.
In accordance with Water Code Section 10608.22, the 2020 urban water use target also must be less than the Minimum Water Use Reduction Requirement, which is calculated as 95 percent of the 5-year base daily per capita water use. For EVMWD, this is 230 GPCD. Thus, the 2020 Water Use Target cannot exceed 230 GPCD. In the 2010 UWMP, Method 2 was used and calculated a 2020 target of 244 GPCD. However, since the change in landscape area post-2010 is unavailable, EVMWD could not calculate the required target using Method 2 for the 2015 UWMP. Therefore, EVMWD is changing methods and will use Method 1, which results in a target of 189 GPCD. Table 5-4 shows a summary of the SB X7-7 Verification Forms in Appendix D (SB X7-7 Table 7, Table 7-A, Table 7-F, and Table 8) for the baseline periods and 2015 and 2020 targets.

2015 Urban Water Management Plan 5-8 EVMWD
SECTION 6 SYSTEM SUPPLIES This section describes the existing and future water supplies available to EVMWD to meet its potable and recycled water demands.
EVMWD has three primary sources of potable water supply:
Local groundwater pumped from District-owned wells (which accounts for approximately 33 percent of the supply from 1992-2013 years). Surface water from Canyon Lake Reservoir and treated by the Canyon Lake Water Treatment Plant (which accounts for approximately 10 percent of the supply from 1992-2013) Imported water purchased from Metropolitan Water District (MWD) through Western Municipal Water District (WMWD) (which accounts for approximately 57 percent of the supply from 1992- 2013). Water is imported from the TVP connection, the Auld Valley Pipeline EM-17 connection, the conjunctive use program (CUP), and the Coldwater Basin (starting in August 2013).
In addition, EVMWD has access to several additional water sources through its acquisition of the Temescal Water Company assets in 1989. These consist of groundwater from the Bunker Hill, Rialto- Colton, Riverside North, Bedford, Coldwater, and Lee Lake Basins, and surface water from Temescal Creek and several tributary creeks.
EVMWD has a recycled water network that delivers non-potable recycled water to customers in four different service areas. Three of the service areas are supplied by EVMWD owned water reclamation facilities (WRF), and one recycled water service area is supplied from the Santa Rosa WRF owned by Rancho California Water District. EMWD supplies recycled water to the Canyon Lake Golf Course in the Railroad Canyon service area during peak summer demands. All three of EVMWD’s water reclamation facilities are capable of producing recycled water quality water.
6.1 Purchased or Imported Water
EVMWD purchases water from WMWD from two different sources. One source of the water purchased from WMWD is treated at MWD’s Skinner Filtration Plant, which blends primarily Colorado River water and a small amount of State Project Water. The purchased water is pumped through the Auld Valley Pipeline (AVP) through the Metropolitan Connection EM-17 and into the 1434 zone by the Auld Valley Booster Pumps and into the 1650 zone through the California Oaks Booster Pumps Station. The booster stations are located at the District’s southeast border on Hancock Avenue east of California Oaks Road. EVMWD can purchase or acquire a maximum flow rate of 37.5 cubic feet per second (cfs) (24.2 mgd or 27,100 acre-ft/yr) through AVP, although this flow rate cannot be achieved due to hydraulic restrictions within the delivery system. To reserve capacity for maximum day demand conditions, it is assumed EVMWD will be able to obtain 16,256 acre-ft/yr (or 14.5 mgd) from the AVP on an annual basis during average year and wet years. This provides reserve capacity to meet maximum day demands.
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 6-1 EVMWD Section 6 System Supplies
The other source of water EVMWD receives from WMWD is imported from the Temescal Valley Pipeline (TVP). The TVP delivers State Water Project Water (SWP) treated at MWD’s Mills Filtration Plant. Conveyed water is transferred to the TVP from the Mills Gravity Pipeline, which is owned and operated by WMWD, at the Woodcrest vault. The connection point is located in Corona at the intersection of Temescal Canyon Road and La Gloria Street located northwest of the EVMWD service boundary, and was completed in February 2002. Through a series of transfers, EVMWD has the capacity for 21 cfs (15,200 acre-ft/yr) in the TVP. The TVP was designed to convey 41 cfs with the construction of a proposed booster pumping station, although the current hydraulic capacity of the TVP is 19.6 cfs (14,190 acre-ft/yr) based on gravity flow from the Mills Gravity Pipeline. It is assumed that EVMWD can obtain 10,030 acre-ft/yr (8.9 mgd) from the TVP on an annual basis.
Therefore, EVMWD will be able to obtain a capacity of 26,296 acre-ft/year (23.4 mgd) during average year and wet years.
A draft feasibility study was performed by MWH in February 2014 to determine how to increase the hydraulic capacity of the TVP (MWH, 2014). Seven alternatives were identified to help increase the capacity of the TVP, including partial and full replacement of the existing pipeline and/or installation of a pump station. In the conclusion of the draft study, MWH recommended a partial replacement of the 36- inch and 30-inch line to a 48-inch line, which will increase the capacity of the line to 37 cfs (26,700 acre-ft/yr) of water. This alternative does not require a pump station and was determined to be the most economical way to increase TVP capacity. The study is expected to be finalized in FY 2016.
6.2 Groundwater
6.2.1 Basin Description
CWC 10631
(b) If groundwater is identified as an existing or planned source of water available to the supplier, all of the following information shall be included in the plan:
(2) A description of any groundwater basin or basins from which the urban water supplier pumps groundwater.
The Elsinore Basin is the major source of potable groundwater supply for EVMWD and other private groundwater producers. The Elsinore Basin is located in a graben (a down-dropped geologic block) created by two major fault zones: the Glen Ivy Fault Zone to the northeast and the Wildomar Fault Zone to the southeast. The groundwater basin encompasses approximately 25 square miles of valley fill including Lake Elsinore, which covers about 5.6 square miles (3,600 acres) of the basin. The surface water drainage area tributary to the basin consists of 42 square miles of mountain and valley area. Major streams include McVicker Canyon, Leach Canyon, Dickey Canyon, and the San Jacinto River, which drain into Lake Elsinore and provide a portion of the basin recharge. Figure 6-1 presents the location of the groundwater basin, the tributary watershed that drains into the basin, surrounding
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 6-2 EVMWD Section 6 System Supplies streams, and other bodies of water. The California Department of Water Resources has designated the Elsinore Basin as Basin No. 8-4 and is located within the Santa River watershed. Further information on the basin is presented in DWR Bulletin 118 California’s Groundwater (California Department of Water Resources (DWR), 2003).

The graben which forms the basin has been filled with unconsolidated alluvial and lacustrine deposits through geologic time. On the margins of the basin, older Pleistocene and Holocene channel and fan alluvial deposits are exposed, while along active stream channels and the center of the basin, recent alluvial deposits are present. The more recent alluvium has obscured evidence of faulting in the central portions of the basin. The unconsolidated deposits which filled the basin form the primary productive aquifers of the Elsinore Basin.
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 6-3 EVMWD Section 6 System Supplies
The Elsinore Basin consists of sand, gravel, and silt deposits that reach a maximum depth of approximately 2,000 feet. Evaluation of lithologic and geophysical logs indicates that relatively thin impermeable layers of clay are present at various depths. These lenses of silt and clay can sometimes be correlated in adjacent wells, but do not form a horizontally-continuous confining layer that is present one a basin-wide scale. The highest transmissivity of the aquifer is found southeast of Lake Elsinore in the so-called “Back Basin” area, where the thickness of alluvial deposits is interpreted to be the greatest. In this area, transmissivity ranges from approximately 10,000 to 20,000 square feet per day.
Northwest of Lake Elsinore, aquifer transmissivity is lower, on the order of 2,000 to 5,000 square feet per day (MWH, 2006a). The northwestern portion of the basin is relatively shallow, and there is evidence of the presence of lacustrine deposits of the ancestral Lake Elsinore, which are expected to have relatively low hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity. Based upon the thickness of the deposits in which transmissivity estimates are available, horizontal hydraulic conductivity in the Elsinore Basin ranges from about 3 feet per day in the area north of the Lake to about 19 feet per day in the Back Basin area. This range in hydraulic conductivity is consistent with a silty sand lithology, which is present throughout the Elsinore Basin. Storage coefficients estimated from aquifer tests range from 1 x 10-2 to 1 x 10-5, consistent with a semi-confined or confined aquifer system.
No direct measurements of vertical hydraulic conductivity are available for the Elsinore Basin. However, the vertical hydraulic conductivity is expected to be much less (in some cases orders of magnitude) than the horizontal hydraulic conductivity. The lenses of sediments with low hydraulic conductivity (such as silt and clay lenses shown on the cross sections) typically have a relatively insignificant effect on horizontal conductivity, dramatic effect on vertical conductivity. The low vertical hydraulic conductivity associated with sediments in the basin is consistent with the relatively low storage coefficients calculated from aquifer tests in which the effects of delayed yield from dewatering of the aquifer are not observed.
6.2.1.1 Coldwater Basin Groundwater
EVMWD pumps groundwater from wells located in the Temescal Valley to serve users in its Temescal Division. The wells draw from the Coldwater Basin, Lee Lake Basin, and the Bedford Basin. Only two wells, both in Coldwater Basin, are used for potable supply. The rest of the wells are used for non- potable purposes (MWH, 2004a).
The Coldwater Basin is an unadjudicated basin located about 8 miles southeast of the City of Corona within the Temescal Valley southwest of Interstate 15. The basin covers about 2.6 square miles (1,680 acres). Major surface water drainages include Coldwater, Anderson, Bixby, Mayhew, and Brown Canyons, which surround the western and southern boundaries of the groundwater basin.
The Coldwater Basin lies within a graben between the North Glen Ivy and South Glen Ivy faults, which are associated with the right lateral strike-slip-dominated Elsinore Fault Zone (EFZ). The EFZ extends approximately 200 km from Baja California north to the Corona area. The Coldwater Basin is surrounded by the metamorphic, volcanic and granitic basement rocks of the Santa Ana Mountains to the south and west, and the Bedford groundwater basin, which is located to the north and east and is
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 6-4 EVMWD Section 6 System Supplies
separated from the Coldwater Basin by the North Glen Ivy fault. In a recharge feasibility study, MWH reviewed and compiled available data to evaluate the geometry and update the hydrogeologic conceptual model for the Coldwater Basin (MWH, 2005a). Based upon the data compiled as part of that report, the Coldwater Basin watershed contains the following stratigraphic units: alluvium, Bedford Canyon Formation, volcanic rocks, and granitic basement rocks. Only the alluvium produces significant groundwater resources.
There do not appear to be any significant confining layers within the alluvium except in the northwestern portion of the basin where there is substantial clay. Currently, water levels are generally declining throughout the basin. However, historical records indicate that the basin is very responsive to changes in operational and climatic conditions. Recharge to the alluvium occurs along the margins of the basin through Mayhew, Coldwater, Anderson, Bixby and Brown Canyons. Faults within the basin appear to be complete barriers to subsurface flow except where gravel pits cross the faults.
The total basin storage volume is estimated to be approximately 74,800 acre-ft based upon a specific yield ranging from 7 to 9 percent. The estimated groundwater in storage as of September 2000 was 41,600 acre-ft (about 55 percent full). The estimated cumulative loss in storage in the Coldwater Basin between 1977 and 2000 was approximately 10,000 acre-ft (MWH, 2004b).
For the period between 1991 and 2000, an average of 6,300 acre-feet per year (acre-ft/yr) of groundwater was produced from the basin. The principal groundwater producers in the basin are the EVMWD and the City of Corona, which account for all but about 200 acre-ft/yr of the total average groundwater production in the basin. Other pumpers in the basin are agricultural users and the gravel pit owners. Approximately one-third of the total basin groundwater extraction from 1991 to 2000 was produced from EVMWD’s wells, while two-thirds of the total groundwater production was produced from the City of Corona’s wells. District wells serve agricultural and municipal users in the Coldwater Basin area (MWH, 2004b). From 2005 to 2015, EVMWD has pumped between 400 to 700 acre-ft/yr from the Coldwater Basin.
6.2.2 Groundwater Management
CWC 10631
(b) ...If groundwater is identified as an existing or planned source of water available to the supplier, all of the following information shall be included in the plan:
(1) A copy of any groundwater management plan adopted by the urban water supplier…or any other specific authorization for groundwater management.
(2) …For basins that a court or the board has adjudicated the rights to pump groundwater, a copy of the order or decree adopted by the court or the board and a description of the amount of groundwater the urban water supplier has the legal right to pump under the order or decree.
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 6-5 EVMWD Section 6 System Supplies
Water rights for the Elsinore Basin are not adjudicated (MWH, 2005b). According to EVMWD’s Elsinore Basin Groundwater Management Plan (GWMP) (MWH, 2006a), approximately 99 percent of groundwater produced by the basin is pumped by EVMWD, which serves a 96 square mile area in western Riverside County. Local pumpers with private wells only account for less than one percent of basin production (MWH, 2005b).
The GWMP also summarizes inflows to the Elsinore Basin that include infiltration of local precipitation, runoff from the surrounding watershed, infiltration from the San Jacinto River prior to reaching Lake Elsinore, and return flows from either irrigation or domestic use. Groundwater inflows are estimated to average 5,500 acre-ft/yr based on a 41-year (1961-2001) hydrologic analysis conducted for the GWMP. This natural inflow is roughly equal to the average yield of the basin because there are no natural outflows from the basin. Therefore, since the adoption of the 2005 GWMP, EVMWD has limited pumping (approximately 5,550 acre-ft/yr) to be consistent with the safe yield of the Elsinore Basin. Groundwater pumping to meet water demands accounts for essentially the entire outflow from the basin. Active groundwater management and conjunctive use programs have been implemented by EVMWD to balance the Elsinore Basin inflows and outflows. DWR Bulletin 118 does not identify the Elsinore Basin to be in a state of overdraft.
The GWMP identified conjunctive use projects (CUP) as an important element of basin management. Direct recharge projects that utilize the groundwater basin as a storage facility and allow for the extraction of stored water for use during drought and high demand periods were identified, designed, and constructed. These direct recharge projects were funded by the Metropolitan as part of a groundwater storage program. During any fiscal year (beginning on July 1st and ending on June 30th) Metropolitan may deliver up to 3,000 acre-ft of water for storage in the Elsinore Basin. EVMWD’s dual- purpose wells are used to inject these deliveries in the Elsinore Basin. Metropolitan may also extract up to 4,000 acre-ft of water stored in the Elsinore Basin as part of the Groundwater Storage Program. During a dry year when stored Metropolitan water is required from EVMWD, imported supply from WMWD is reduced instead of EVMWD pumping groundwater to deliver to Metropolitan. The success of the program was best illustrated when EVMWD was successfully able to withdraw 8,000 acre-feet of imported water stored in the basin during the recent drought in California.
The Santa Ana River Regional Conjunctive Use Project (SARRCUP) is a multi-agency, watershed-wide program developing dry-year supply by banking wet-year water that integrates water conservation measures and habitat enhancements efforts. The Project will develop an 180,000 acre-feet (AF) groundwater bank storage program providing for management and facilities to have the capacity to store 60,000 acre-ft/yr during each of three wet years in a decade, and extraction facilities to draw 60,000 acre-ft/yr during three dry years within a decade. As part of the SARRCUP project, facilities will be constructed in the Elsinore Basin to expand conjunctive use.
The 2005 GWMP estimated that the Elsinore Basin has significant storage capacity to support groundwater storage programs. This storage capacity can be used for storing wet water (when available) and performing extractions during dry year conditions. The SARRCUP projects will supplement EVMWD’s existing CUP with Metropolitan. The proposed project will involve the
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 6-6 EVMWD Section 6 System Supplies
construction of two dual-purpose wells needed to expand the conjunctive use program to store up to 15,000 AF. Minor conveyance and distribution pipelines may also have to be constructed as part of this expansion. One well will be constructed in the northern portion of the Elsinore Basin and one well will be constructed in the Back Basin. In general, injection using the current dual purpose wells and the new wells would take place between October and March when surplus water may be available from Metropolitan and other sources.
EVMWD’s acquisition of the Temescal Water Company (TWC) in August 1989 resulted in EVMWD becoming the majority shareholder (57.85 percent) in the Meeks and Daley water rights. This stock provides EVMWD with water rights, production/conveyance capacity (such as “canal carrying rights” in the Gage Canal and the Riverside Canal), and rights to the Palm Avenue Well that is located in Grand Terrace, Riverside County. The construction of Seven Oaks Dam in 1998 has allowed for capture of “new conservation” water as defined in the Judgment. (Western Municipal Water District, City of Riverside et al. 2013). In addition, Meeks and Daley would have the right to a one-time amount of approximately 1,448 acre-ft of water that was stored in the San Bernardino Basin Area (SBBA) during the 1998 to 2012 period. Starting in 2013, based on the proportional share (3.38%) of the total new conservation water, Meeks and Daley’s water rights increased to 8,091 acre-ft/yr in the Bunker Hill Basin. Since EVMWD receives 57.85 percent of the Meeks and Daley water rights, this new water conservation increases EVMWD’s water right entitlement to 4,680.6 acre-ft/yr from Bunker Hill Basin.
A part of the 1969 Judgment, Meeks and Daley has an annual base right of 836 acre-ft/yr to extract water from the Colton Basin. 801 acre-ft and 35 acre-ft of the base right water volumes can be delivered for use in Riverside County and San Bernardino County, respectively. For the period 1989- 2013, the total average yearly extraction was 551.5 acre-ft from the Colton Basin, representing 66 percent of the base water right amount. For the cited period, the total amount of unused water was 8,289 acre-ft. Since EVMWD receives 57.86 percent of the Meeks and Daley water rights, EVMWD receives 484.6 acre-ft/yr from the Colton Basin.
EVMWD can extract water from the Riverside Basin area at an annual base right of 1,263 acre-ft/yr. The total water right amount can be delivered for use in Riverside County. For the period 1989-2013, total average yearly extraction was 849.6 acre-ft/yr, representing 67 percent of the base right amount. For the cited period, the total amount of unused water was 13,100 acre-ft.
In summary, EVMWD has a total of 6,428.2 acre-ft/yr of water rights in San Bernardino/Riverside groundwater basins as a part of the acquisition of Temescal Water Company, as shown in Table 6-1. Therefore, with the Meeks and Daley groundwater rights and the safe yield from the Coldwater and Elsinore Basin, EVMWD has the rights or safe yield of 13,128.2 acre-ft/yr. Presently, EVMWD does not have the infrastructure available to deliver water available from Meeks and Daley groundwater basins to its service area in the Elsinore Division. Therefore, as a part of the Exchange Agreement with WMWD, EVMWD committed all of its water rights (6,279 AF/yr), except for the Seven Oaks’ New Water Conservation volumes, to WMWD.

DWR Bulletin 118 does not identify the Elsinore Basin to be in a state of overdraft.
Water levels in the Elsinore Basin and Coldwater Basin were declining due to over pumping in the late 1990s and early 2000s. However, after the 2005 GWMP and an agreement with Corona, the Elsinore Basin and Coldwater Basin are well managed to limit withdrawals to the safe-yield of the basin.

Groundwater production accounts for approximately 33 percent of EVMWD’s total supplies. In the Elsinore Basin, EVMWD has 12 operating potable groundwater wells with a total production capacity of 20,808 acre-ft/yr as presented in Table 6-2. All of the wells are powered by electricity. Two of the wells (Mayhew and Station 71 wells) are within the TDSA. Terra Cotta Well is the most recently equipped

6.3 Surface Water
The second water supply source for EVMWD is surface water obtained from Canyon Lake, also referred to as the Railroad Canyon Reservoir. Canyon Lake was constructed in 1928 by the Temescal Water Company (TWC) to store water for agricultural use in the area. Formed by Railroad Canyon Dam, Canyon Lake impounds water from the San Jacinto River, Salt Creek and local surface runoff. With a spillway elevation of 1381.76 ft above mean sea level (msl), the reservoir originally had a capacity of about 12,000 acre-ft. However, it is assumed that siltation has decreased the capacity of the lake. The exact capacity reduction based on siltation is uncertain, but the EVMWD’s 2007 Water Distribution System Master Plan (MWH, 2007) estimates Canyon Lake’s current storage capacity could have been reduced to approximately 4,600 acre-feet (1,500 MG) of useful storage volume due to siltation. Additional studies by the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority and faculty from UCR has attempted to show volumetric reductions. The Railroad Canyon Storage Agreement between EVMWD and TWC that was approved in October 1955 allowed EVMWD to store approximately 3,000 acre-feet of water in Canyon Lake and treat that water at the Canyon Lake Water Treatment Plant (CLWTP) before distribution. In August 1989, EVMWD acquired the assets and water rights of the TWC including Canyon Lake. The Canyon Lake Property Owners Association (POA) leases the surface rights to the lake and fringe land around the lake for recreational purposes under an agreement dating from 1968. The lease agreement between EVMWD and the Canyon Lake POA requires that the minimum lake elevation be kept at 1372 ft msl at all time of the year. EVMWD typically discontinues operation of its WTP if the lake level is expected to drop below 1,372 ft. If the level falls below 1,372 feet, EVMWD could purchase imported water to maintain the minimum lake elevation. Failure to maintain minimum lake levels costs EVMWD 1/365 of that year’s annual costs to the Canyon Lake POA per day the lake level drops below 1,372 ft.
Hydrologic data documenting the inflows to Canyon Lake is limited to the period 1992-2015. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) maintains gauging stations on the San Jacinto River and Salt Creek upstream of Canyon Lake. During periods of high runoff, Canyon Lake fills and spills into the San Jacinto River where it flows into Lake Elsinore.
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 6-10 EVMWD Section 6 System Supplies
Through the acquisition of the TWC, EVMWD has the rights to divert up to 12,000 acre-ft/yr of natural drainage from the San Jacinto River from about December 1 to about June 1 of each season and store that water in the Railroad Canyon Reservoir pursuant to Water Rights License 1533 (SDPW, 1935). A subsequent license allows the diversion 2.4 cfs of San Jacinto River water from about April 1 to about May 31 of each season pursuant to Water Rights License 6327 (SWRB, 1961). In settlement of litigation regarding the release of water into Lake Elsinore, EVMWD and the City of Lake Elsinore agreed that EVMWD would not treat more than 8,000 acre-ft/yr (about 7.1 mgd continuous flow) of San Jacinto River flows in any water year at EVMWD’s Canyon Lake Water Treatment Plant. This 8,000 acre-ft/yr limit applies only to San Jacinto River runoff and excludes any imported water conveyed in the river channel.
Other sources of water for Canyon Lake include untreated imported water from Metropolitan connections WR-18A (Colorado River water) and WR-31 (SWP water). Each of these two imported water connections has a capacity of 69 cfs (44.6 mgd). EVMWD could purchase the imported water from Metropolitan through Western MWD, which would be discharged into the San Jacinto River near Nuevo and flow downstream to Canyon Lake. EVMWD has not purchased water from the Metropolitan connection WR-18A since 1989 because the high TDS in Colorado River supply adversely affects wastewater effluent quality. Construction of Metropolitan connection WR-31 was completed in December 2003.
Historical records show that approximately 11 percent of the volume of water discharged by WMWD into San Jacinto River is lost due to percolation before the water reaches Canyon Lake (MWH, 2011). EVMWD has implemental multiple short pilot projects to evaluate the feasibility and estimated seepage loss from the San Jacinto River. Therefore, releases from WR-31 are typically performed during the wet season when the river has natural flow to minimize the loss of water through percolation. The San Jacinto River is not a continuous source of water supply to Canyon Lake. It is typically more economically favorable to purchase treated water from MWD Auld Valley Pipeline than to purchase raw water from WMWD and treat it at Canyon Lake Water Treatment Plant during the dry season.
The CLWTP, which is located near the southwest dam abutment of Canyon Lake, provides conventional treatment to surface water impounded in the lake. The treatment plant has a design capacity of 9 mgd (13.9 cfs), although running the plant at a capacity greater than 7 mgd (10.9 cfs) adversely affects the water quality. During periods of increased raw water turbidity associated with high winter inflows to the lake, the plant operators typically treat a maximum of 4.5 mgd (7.0 cfs). The treatment processes include coagulation, clarification, filtration, and disinfection. The raw water pumping station, which pumps from Canyon Lake to the plant, operates manually. A steel chlorine contact tank at the plant temporarily stores the treated water, which also provides the required detention time for chlorination prior to conveyance of the water to the distribution system. Finished water flows to a 2.0 MG steel clearwell via gravity. The reservoir has an overflow elevation of 1434 and a sidewater depth of 32 feet. Water flows by gravity from the reservoirs to the Loop service level.
From 1992 to 2015, the average treatment from the Canyon Lake Water Treatment Plant was 2,322 acre-ft/yr, and the yearly treated water is depicted on Figure 6-2. From 2011 to 2015, CLWTP treated

6.4 Stormwater
Stormwater is continually being evaluated for opportunities to utilize for beneficial use. Beneficial uses include blending with other water supplies for groundwater recharge, redirecting to constructed wetlands or landscaping, or diverting it to a treatment facility for subsequent reuse. EVMWD does not have a stormwater recovery system in place. Stormwater is currently diverted to Lake Elsinore or Canyon Lake. The stormwater management is within the purview of the Riverside County Flood Control District (RCFCD). EVMWD and RCFCD are evaluating opportunities to collaborate on stormwater management issues.
6.5 Wastewater and Recycled Water
EVMWD currently operates three wastewater reclamation facilities: the Regional WRF, Horsethief Canyon WRF, and Railroad Canyon WRF. In addition, wastewater flow in the southern part of EVMWD’s service area is treated at the Santa Rosa WRF operated by the Rancho California Water District (RCWD). These four reclamation facilities serve four major service areas within the EVMWD’s wastewater collection system. Each service area consists of gravity collectors, trunk lines, lift stations, and force mains, which convey flow to the treatment plants. Effluent from all of these WRFs meets Title 22 standards and can be used for non-potable water supply to EVMWD’s recycled water system.
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 6-12 EVMWD Section 6 System Supplies
EVMWD’s wastewater system is described in more detail in the 2015 EVMWD Sewer Master Plan (MWH, 2016c).
In the effort to minimize the need for imported water, EVMWD plans to expand its recycled water system to provide recycled water for irrigation users and to maintain water levels in Lake Elsinore during normal and dry years.
6.5.1 Recycled Water Coordination
CWC 10633 The plan shall provide, to the extent available, information on recycled water and its potential for use as a water source in the service area of the urban water supplier. The preparation of the plan shall be coordinated with local water, wastewater, groundwater, and planning agencies that operate within the supplier’s service area. Currently almost all wastewater flow within the EVMWD service area is treated and used as some sort of recycled water source, whether it is delivered to customers as a non-potable supply or used as lake replenishment water. The EVMWD recycled water service area is comprised of four hydraulically separate service areas: the Horsethief, Railroad Canyon, Regional, and Wildomar service areas. Each respective service area is served by the following sources:
Wildomar service area is served by the Eastern Municipal Water District’s (EMWD) 48-inch Temecula Valley Recycled Water Pipeline (TVRWP) from the Temecula Valley Water Reclamation Facility (TVWRF). Railroad Canyon is served by the Railroad Canyon Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) The Horsethief service area is served by the Horsethief WRF Regional is a small area served by the Regional WRF
A detailed description of the four service areas is included in Section 6.5.3.
The only wastewater that is not treated within the EVMWD service area is the flow sent to the Ranch California Water District (RCWD) Santa Rosa WRF. However, EVMWD is able to receive recycled water from the wastewater delivered to the Santa Rosa WRF through the Temescal Valley Recycled Water Pipeline (TVRWP). The TVRWP is a 48-inch pipeline owned by Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) that connects the Temescal Valley Water Reclamation Facility (TVWRF) and RCWD Santa Rosa WRF to Temescal Wash for disposal. This pipeline allows Eastern MWD and RCWD to avoid costly nutrient removal facilities required for discharge to the Santa Margarita River. This pipeline passes through EVMWD’s service area, and has a connection to deliver high quality recycled water for non-potable demands to the Wildomar area. The recycled water is supplied to various EVMWD turnouts in the Wildomar area from the 48-inch pipeline. Any excess EMWD Title 22 (recycled) water is ultimately disposed into the Temescal Wash at Wasson Sill, a topographic divide on Temescal Wash that separates flows between Lake Elsinore and the Santa Ana River.
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 6-13 EVMWD Section 6 System Supplies
EVMWD, EMWD, and RCWD entered a five-year agreement in March 2009, (which was extended for another five years in 2014) to establish wholesale recycled water prices for EVMWD and RCWD. This agreement describes EVMWD’s recycled water rights and is included as Appendix E. EVMWD does not own or operate any WRFs in the Southern Sewershed area and wastewater generated from this area is conveyed to four connection points in RCWD’s system and conveyed to RCWD’s Santa Rosa WRF for treatment. According to the agreement, in return for paying RCWD to treat the wastewater sent to the Santa Rosa WRF, EVMWD is allocated an equal amount of recycled water from the 48-inch TVRWP at no additional cost. EVMWD’s recycled water allocation for each year is adjusted at the beginning of the fiscal year and is dependent upon the amount of wastewater delivered to RCWD. From 2011 to 2015, EVMWD averages about 0.8 MGD of wastewater flow to RCWD.
There are two operational supply constraints in the agreement with EMWD for the Wildomar system: total instantaneous flow rate must be less than 1.54 MGD (1,070 gpm), and the average daily volume for each month cannot exceed the previous fiscal years (FY)’s wastewater flow to RCWD. Since EVMWD supplies on average 0.8 MGD (896 AFY) of wastewater to Santa Rosa WRF, EVMWD receives in return 0.8 MGD of recycled water from the 48-inch TVRWP. For the 2014-2015 FY, EVMWD delivered 0.75 MGD of wastewater to Santa Rosa WRF, so during the 2015-2016 FY EVMWD is allowed 0.75 MGD of recycled water from the TVRWP. TVRWP and Reach 4 have metering devices on the turnouts that include SCADA, telemetry capabilities, and pressure and flow monitoring capabilities to measure the inflow into the EVMWD service area.
In addition, EVMWD has an agreement with Eastern MWD to purchase excess recycled water from Eastern MWD to provide to current recycled water customers. Under this agreement, EVMWD can purchase between 5,000 and 30,000 acre-ft/yr of surplus effluent. This recycled water originates from Eastern MWD’s Moreno Valley and Perris Valley WRFs and is normally only available during wet periods when Eastern MWD’s recycled water usage is low and its storage facilities are full. This recycled water would be delivered to EVMWD through TVRWP that parallels the San Jacinto River and terminates at Wasson Sill.
The average inflow into the Railroad Canyon WRF of 0.68 MGD is sufficient flow to meet the recycled water demands within its service area during average day demand conditions during winter and spring months; however, it is not sufficient to meet the Canyon Lake Golf Course (CLGC) demands during periods of high demand. Therefore, EVMWD has an agreement with EMWD to purchase supplemental recycled water from their Reach 4 pipeline. The 54-inch Reach 4 pipeline travels east to west through the Railroad Canyon service area. Reach 4 is able to supply the additional 0.5 MGD recycled water required by the CLGC during peak demand conditions. Reach 4 has metering devices on the turnout which includes SCADA, telemetry capabilities, and pressure and flow monitoring capabilities, which allow EVMWD to quantify the amount of recycled water purchased from EMWD. However, per the agreement, the EMWD recycled water can only be used to provide recycled water supply to the CLGC and not to the recycled water customers in the Canyon Hills area.

The EVMWD sewer system collects and sends flows to four reclamation plants: Regional WRF, Railroad Canyon WRF, Horsethief Canyon WRF, and RCWD Santa Rosa WRF. Of these four facilities, EVMWD owns and operates all but the Santa Rosa WRF. Flows from EVMWD’s Southern Division are treated at the RCWD Santa Rosa WRF, while all flow treated by the other three WRFs is collected by the EVMWD sewer system. Table 6-4 shows the breakdown of the length of pipeline that collects flow for each of the four WRFs.

6.5.2.1.1 Regional WRF
The Regional WRF is located adjacent to Lake Elsinore, at Chaney Street and Treleven Road. As discussed previously, the plant treats the majority of the flow that is generated in the service area, and primarily treats flows from the city of Lake Elsinore. The plant was dedicated in 1986 at a capacity of 2 MGD. Several expansions and improvements were completed over the years, and currently the plant has an average flow capacity of 8.0 MGD and peak flow capacity of 17.6 MGD, and treats flows using an extended aeration process. Treatment processes used in the Regional WRF include an influent lift station, headworks with bar screens and grit removal, oxidation ditches, clarifiers, filter influent lift stations, tertiary filters, ultraviolet (UV) disinfection, and biosolids dewatering. The wastewater effluent is treated with tertiary treatment and phosphorus removal to Title 22 requirements and then discharged to Temescal Wash and/or Lake Elsinore. Based on data provided by EVMWD, the annual average flow
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 6-16 EVMWD Section 6 System Supplies
at the Regional WRF in 2015 was 6.5 mgd. EVMWD and Kennedy/Jenks consultants recently completed the Regional Wastewater Reclamation Facility Expansion Master Plan (Kennedy/Jenks, 2014), and the plant is planning to expand to 18.2 MGD by 2040.
The effluent from the Regional WRF is discharged to Temescal Wash and Lake Elsinore under the CA order No. R8-2013-0019, NMPDES No. CA8000027. 6.5.2.1.2 Railroad Canyon WRF
Railroad Canyon is a scalping plant that treats flows from EVMWD’s Canyon Lake area. Flows above what can be handled at the plant and all waste activates sludge (WAS) produced at the plant are sent from Railroad Canyon WRF to the Regional WRF. The Railroad Canyon WRF average flow capacity is currently 1.3 MGD, but the operational capacity is about 1.12 MGD to remain below the discharge limits for total inorganic nitrogen. The WRF, which was built in 1984, is located north of Railroad Canyon Rd, west of Canyon Hills Fire Station and a mile east of Highway 15. The effluent from Railroad Canyon WRF receives tertiary treatment and meets Title 22 requirements for recycled water use. The average flow to Railroad Canyon WRF is approximately 0.68 MGD. However, in January 2016 a diversion structure was constructed to divert additional flows from the Tuscany sewer division to the Railroad Canyon WRF. The flows to the Railroad Canyon WRF is anticipated to increase by 0.24 MGD. (EVMWD, 2012) 6.5.2.1.3 Horsethief Canyon WRF
Horsethief Canyon WRF currently treats an average flow of 0.36 MGD, with a maximum daily flow of 0.55 MGD. The WRF, which is currently undergoing an expansion to 0.8 MGD, is currently rated to treat 0.5 MGD. Effluent is sent first to headworks consisting of grit chambers and a mechanical screening facility. From the headworks, flow enters an oxidation ditch and then to one of two circular clarifier tanks. From the clarifiers, the effluent is treated with anthracite-sand filters and finally sent through chlorine contact chambers before being discharged to a reclaimed water storage facility for use in landscape spray irrigation. The effluent from Horsethief Canyon WRF receives tertiary treatment and meets Title 22 requirements for recycled water use. 6.5.2.1.4 RCWD Santa Rosa WRF
The Santa Rose WRF is owned by the RCWD and is not part of the EVMWD system. The WRF was constructed in 1989 and can treat 5 MGD of wastewater. The Santa Rosa WRF has capacity to treat up to 1.54 MGD of EVMWD’s wastewater flow. In 2016, EVMWD, WMWD, and RCWD entered in a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) that allows EVMWD to treat a minimum of 2.0 MGD of wastewater flows to the Santa Rosa WRF. The WRF employs biological treatment followed by clarification, filtration, and disinfection. The treated effluent is ultimately sent for reuse. A portion of the EVMWD collection system discharges to the RCWD collection system. Table 6-6 summarizes the recycled water production as reported in EVMWD’s 2009 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and effluent flow data, and Figure 6-3 summarizes the data in a graph. It should be noted that a portion of the wastewater flows collected by EVMWD is diverted to the RCWD Santa Rosa WRF for treatment and disposal.

6.5.2.2 Wastewater Treatment and Discharge Within Service Area
The wastewater collected at the Regional, Horsethief, and Railroad Canyon WRF are treated and discharged within the service area. The wastewater effluent from the Regional Plant is treated with tertiary treatment and phosphorus removal to Title 22 requirements and then discharged to Temescal Wash and/or Lake Elsinore. Due to environmental requirements associated with the Lake Elsinore Stabilization Project, EVMWD is required to discharge a nominal minimum of 0.5 MGD to the Temescal Wash to maintain downstream riparian habitat. Under current typical operations, the remaining plant flow is discharged to Lake Elsinore to maintain the lake level. When the lake level exceeds 1,247 ft msl, the entire plant flow is discharged to Temescal Wash. A small portion of the Regional WRF recycled water is used for irrigation at the Regional WRF facility and a few office buildings.
The wastewater collected at the Railroad Canyon and Horsethief WRF are treated to tertiary standards. Historically, EVMWD has used the treated effluent from Railroad Canyon WRF and Horsethief WRF for irrigation, except during storm events when the influent from Railroad Canyon WRF is bypassed to the Regional WRF and/or the effluent is discharged into percolation ponds. The effluent from the Railroad Canyon WRF is disposed into a lined pond that is then pumped to recycled water customers in Canyon Hills or to the Canyon Hills Golf Course. Excess water from the pond is sent down to Regional WRF. The Horsethief WRF is a peaking plant that balances supply with demand. Excess effluent from the Horsethief WRF that cannot be used for recycled water irrigation is sent to local percolation ponds for disposal.

6.5.3 Recycled Water System
CWC 10633 (c) (Describe) the recycled water currently being used in the supplier’s service area, including, but not limited to, the type, place, and quantity of use.
EVMWD has four hydraulically separated recycled water systems: Wildomar service area, Regional service area, Horsethief service area, and Railroad Canyon service area. These service areas are described below and in EVMWD’s recently completed 2015 Recycled Water Master Plan (MWH, 2016b).
6.5.3.1 Wildomar Service Area
The Wildomar recycled water consists of 9.5 miles of pipeline and is served by the EMWD TVRWP. The TVRWP is a 48-inch pipeline that connects the TVWRF and RCWD Santa Rosa WRF to EMWD’s existing 54-inch Reach 4 pipeline. The 48-inch TVRWP passes through EVMWD’s Wildomar service area, and provides EVMWD with high quality recycled water for non-potable demands. The recycled water is supplied to various EVMWD turnouts in the Wildomar area from the 48-inch pipeline. Any excess EMWD Title 22 water is ultimately disposed into the Temescal Wash at Wasson Sill.
The Wildomar recycled water system was installed starting in 2008, although the system did not become operational until 2009. The area is served by four active turnouts from EMWD’s recycled water lines. Three of the turnouts (Turnout No.1, 2A, and 2B) are located along the 48-inch TVRWP, while the fourth turnout (Turnout No.5) is located on the 54-inch Reach 4 pipeline. The southernmost turnout (Turnout No.1) is at the intersection of Gruwell St and Orange St., and serves 15 customers. Turnout No.2B is the next turnout north of Turnout No.1 along the 48-inch TVRWP and it is located on Orange St. and Canyon Dr., serving three customers. Turnout No.2A is located at Lemon St. and Almond St., and serves one customer. Turnout No.5 is on Auto Center Dr., northwest of Railroad Canyon Rd., and serves 24 customers (including the Summerly Golf Course). EVMWD is allocated on average 0.8 MGD of recycled water from the 48-inch TVRWP. EVMWD’s recycled water allocation for each year is adjusted at the beginning of the fiscal year and is dependent upon the amount of wastewater delivered to RCWD. The Wildomar recycled water system is depicted on Figure 6-4.
6.5.3.2 Regional Service Area
EVMWD owns and operates the Regional WRF. A small portion of the Regional WRF recycled water is used for irrigation at the Regional WRF facility and a few office buildings. This demand is approximately 2.3 gpm.
Recycled water from Regional WRF will continue to be used to refill Lake Elsinore in order to meet lake level requirements. In its 2016 Integrated Resources Plan (IRP), EVMWD has identified a long term implementation of an Indirect Potable Reuse (IPR) project using treated water from Regional WRF in excess of the water required to maintain lake’s water levels.

6.5.3.3 Horsethief Canyon Service Area
The Horsethief recycled water system consists of 4.4 miles of pipeline and is supplied by the Horsethief WRF. There are two pressure zones: the 1518 Zone and the 1844 Zone, each served by a storage tank. The Horsethief WRF is located in the northern part of the recycled water system; recycled water is pumped from its recycled water pond into the 1518 Zone. The recycled water is then pumped from the 1518 Zone to the 1844 Zone through the Horsethief Reclamation Pump Station 1located on Horsethief Canyon Rd., north of Placid Hill Dr. The Horsethief Reclaimed Zone 2 tank, which provides storage for the 1844 Zone, is located at the southern portion of the Horsethief system, and has a capacity of 0.17 million gallons (MG). A figure depicting the Horsethief system is presented on Figure 6-6.
The Horsethief WRF receives wastewater from the surrounding areas and treats approximately 0.36 MGD on average with a capacity to treat 0.5 MGD. The facility is located on Shotgun Trail Road. The Horsethief WRF contains headworks consisting of grit chambers and a mechanical screen facility. From the headworks, flow enters an oxidation ditch and then flows to one of two circular clarifier tanks. After the clarifiers, effluent is treated with anthracite-sand filters and finally sent through chlorine contact chamber before being discharged to an uncovered reclaimed water storage facility. The Horsethief WRF produces recycled water meeting California Title 22 quality standards, and stores all of the treated water in on-site storage ponds. Reclaimed water from the Horsethief WRF is typically used for landscape irrigation.
6.5.3.4 Railroad Canyon Service Area
The Railroad Canyon recycled water system consists of 10.6 miles of pipeline and is served by the Railroad Canyon WRF. The reclamation facility is located on Old Newport Rd., north of Railroad Canyon Rd. and Church Rd. The Railroad Canyon WRF has a lined pond that stores recycled water before it is distributed to customers. EVMWD has the capability to pump to two different pressure zone areas: the Canyon Lake City / Canyon Lake Golf Course (CLGC) area, and to the Canyon Hills recycled water use areas which has a hydraulic grade level (HGL) of 1850. The 1850 Zone has two recycled water reservoirs located at the northern portion of the system. The CLGC area has two lined ponds at an elevation of 1380 used for storing recycled water for irrigation purposes, RW Pond No. 4 and 5.
Railroad Canyon WRF produces recycled water at Title 22 quality, and all of the treated water is stored in storage ponds located onsite before supplying the eight primary customers. The service area has a demand between 0.8 and 0.9 MGD during peak summer demand; recycled water from the EMWD Reach 4 is used to supplement the supply from the Railroad Canyon WRF. In some occasions, it is also necessary to supplement the CLGC with potable water supply to meet the peak summer demands for the CLGC. Canyon Hills recycled water customers include parks, the public (i.e. highway medians), and schools. The Railroad Canyon system is presented on Figure 6-7.
The Railroad Canyon WRF has five pumps to distribute recycled water to the service area. Two pumps are used to distribute water into the 1850 Zone and fill the Canyon Hills RW reservoirs. Three pumps are used to deliver water to the CLGC. Both of these pump stations are located at the Railroad Canyon
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 6-23 EVMWD Section 6 System Supplies
WRF site. The Canyon Hills recycled water tanks provide storage for the 1850 Zone. The recycled water tanks are located in the northern portion of the Railroad Canyon service area at Desert Rose Way. The two tanks are located next to Canyon Hills 1750A potable water tanks. The CLGC Pond No.4 and 5 are adjacent to each other and are located south of the CLGC on Railroad Canyon Rd.

6.5.4 Recycled Water Beneficial Uses
CWC 10633
(d) (Describe and quantify) the potential uses of recycled water, including, but not limited to, agricultural irrigation, landscape irrigation, wildlife habitat enhancement, wetlands, industrial reuse, groundwater recharge, indirect potable reuse, and other appropriate uses, and a determination with regard to the technical and economic feasibility of serving those uses.
CWC 10633
(e) (Describe) the projected use of recycled water within the supplier’s service area at the end of 5, 10, 15, and 20 years and a description of the actual use of recycled water in comparison to uses previously projected pursuant to this subdivision.
This section describes current and planned uses of recycled water within EVMWD and provides an update of 2010 projections for 2015 versus actual recycled water use.
6.5.4.1 Current and Planned Uses of Recycled Water
EVMWD currently has three types of use for its recycled water:
1) Landscape irrigation meters: Irrigation of parks, schools, cemeteries, churches, residential, streetscapes, slope protection, or public facilities. Water to maintain aesthetic impoundments within landscaped areas is include with landscape irrigation. These customers are served by the Horsethief WRF, Railroad Canyon WRF, and Santa Rosa WRF 2) Golf courses: Irrigation of golf courses. EVMWD recycled water currently serves two golf courses. These customers are served by the Railroad Canyon WRF and Santa Rosa WRF. 3) Environmental Enhancement: Addition of water to maintain water levels in a lake for environmental enhancement. EVMWD provides water to maintain Lake Elsinore and water for Temescal Wash. This recycled water comes from Regional WRF.
EVMWD produces approximately 6,000 acre-feet per year (AFY) of recycled water at the Regional Water Reclamation Facility (RWRF) that is used for the purposes of environmental enhancement. Water levels in Lake Elsinore, a key natural and economic resource for the local community, are maintained by discharging tertiary treated recycled water into the lake. In addition, riparian habitat along the Temescal Wash is sustained by maintaining a steady discharge of tertiary treated recycled water along the wash. Flows at the RWRF are expected to increase to approximately 30 million gallons per day (mgd) (or 33,000 AFY) as build out approaches. Reserving approximately 10,600 AFY to protect riparian habitat and environmental enhancement, approximately 20,000 AFY of recycled water will be available for the purposes of indirect potable reuse (IPR) by build out in the Elsinore Groundwater Basin (MWH, 2015). However, if this recycled water is not used for IPR, it would be released to the Temescal Wash or into Lake Elsinore. EVMWD is doing a feasibility study to determine how much water can be used for groundwater IPR.

6.5.4.2 Planned versus Actual Use of Recycled Water
CWC 10633 (e) (Provide) a description of the actual use of recycled water in comparison to uses previously projected pursuant to this subdivision. The 2010 UWMP anticipated that the future average recycled water demand was projected to increase to approximately 9,415 acre-ft/yr by 2015. The 2010 Plan anticipated that in addition to the use of recycled water for stabilizing levels at Lake Elsinore and the discharge of recycled water along Temescal Wash for environmental enhancement, the entire demand will consist of customers converting from potable to recycled water. Table 6-9 shows the 2010 UWMP projected 2015 recycled water use as well as the actual 2015 recycled water use. The 2010 projections for the 2015 landscape irrigation and golf course irrigation were similar to the actual 2015 recycled water use. The recent
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 6-28 EVMWD Section 6 System Supplies
drought and conservation measures implemented over the past five years have reduced the amount of wastewater that is generated, which caused a reduction in the generated recycled water effluent.

6.5.5 Actions to Encourage and Optimize Future Recycled Water Use
In order to increase reliability to meet EVMWD’s long-term water needs, EVMWD developed an Integrated Resources Plan, which identifies several near-term and long-term water supply projects. Indirect Potable Reuse (IPR) has been identified as a key component of EVMWD’s long-term water supply strategy. By recharging the Elsinore Basin, IPR supports many of the evaluation objectives established by the Integrated Resources Plan, most specifically the objectives of increasing water supply reliability during dry years and improving salinity management in the Elsinore Basin.
EVMWD has implemented a mandatory use ordinance that requires all new customers to use recycled water for areas in which facilities exist. In order to encourage the use of recycled water, EVMWD offers recycled water at rates lower than potable water to those customers who are willing to convert from potable water to recycled water. In addition, EVMWD is evaluating the potential of diverting more flow to the Santa Rosa WRF and Railroad Canyon WRF to increase the recycled water production since currently there is a higher demand than available supply during the summer months for the Wildomar service area and Canyon Lake Golf Course. Table 6-10 presents the expected increase in recycled water use due to such actions.

6.6 Desalinated Water Opportunities
As part of the Integrated Resources Plan, a conceptual Ocean Desalination plant was evaluated. However, the significant capital costs as well as the environmental requirements to move water to the EVMWD's service area significantly affect the feasibility of this project. The groundwater extracted from the Elsinore Basin does not have a high enough salinity content to warrant desalination. However, the planned Warm Springs well will require TDS removal.
6.7 Exchanges or Transfers
6.7.1 Exchanges
EVMWD does not have any current potable water exchanges with other water agencies. An exchange between EVMWD and EMWD exists to exchange wastewater for recycled water as mentioned above in Section 6.5.
6.7.2 Transfers
On August 23, 2001, EVMWD entered into a reciprocal use agreement with Western MWD that provided EVMWD with 9.0 cfs of capacity in the Mills Gravity Pipeline. In return for the imported water capacity, EVMWD granted Western MWD entitlement to groundwater acquired from the Meeks and Daley rights (EVMWD, 2001a).
A separate lease agreement between EVMWD and Western MWD provides EVMWD with up to 5 cfs (3.2 mgd or 3,620 acre-ft/yr) of additional capacity from the Mills Gravity Pipeline on a temporary basis
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 6-30 EVMWD Section 6 System Supplies
(EVMWD, 2001b). On August 8, 2002, the EVMWD Board of Directors approved a lease agreement amendment to lease an additional 7 cfs (4.5 mgd or 5,068 acre-ft/yr) from the Mills Pipeline, increasing the total lease capacity to 12 cfs (7.8 mgd or 8,688 acre-ft/yr) (EVMWD, 2002a). Thus, EVMWD contractually has the capacity for up to 21 cfs (13.6 mgd or approximately 15,200 acre-ft/yr) of water from the TVP, but in an average year the capacity that can be received from TVP is 10,030 acre-ft/yr.
These long-term transfers provide EVMWD additional capacity in the Mills Gravity Pipeline. These transfers do not represent additional supplies available to EVMWD via the Mills Gravity Pipeline, but are included in the imported water supply description in Section 6.1.
6.7.3 Emergency Interties
Emergency interties are addressed in Section 7, Water Supply Reliability.
6.8 Future Water Projects
The existing water supplies for Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (EVMWD) consists of groundwater, Canyon Lake WTP, AVP, and TVP (gravity fed). Based on the future demand projections presented in Section 4, the existing supplies should be sufficient through the 2020 demand horizon. However, near-term drought and Metropolitan Water District (MWD) supply reductions are forcing EVMWD to be proactive in analyzing future supply alternatives and continue to evaluate short-term and long-term supply options.
In the 2016 Integrated Resources Plan, 45 alternative supply options are evaluated. The alternatives were given a score based on set criteria and a weighting factor for each criteria. The criteria included average year yield, dry year yield, source availability, water quality, cost, supply reliability, environmental impacts, and implementability. The IRP evaluated seven alternative scenarios, each targeting a specific goal of the IRP, to determine the best combination of future projects to meet EVMWD’s future demands. The scenario with the highest ranking included the following nine projects:
1J Transfer Bunker Hill Basin groundwater via Riverside and Corona
2A-1 Pump Lee Lake Basin groundwater (Barney Lee wells) via the TVP. No treatment. 2A-2 Pump Bedford groundwater (Flagger wells) via the TVP. No treatment 3D Palomar Well replacement
4A Extract groundwater from Warm Springs Basin – No treatment 5E Modify operation of Canyon Lakes 10B Indirect Potable Reuse at Regional WRF - Injection/Extraction with AWT 11 Temecula-Pauba groundwater 12B Implement increased water conservation measures – Enhanced
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 6-31 EVMWD Section 6 System Supplies
Additional information about these projects are included in the 2016 Integrated Resources Plan (IRP) (EVMWD, 2016C).
EVMWD has four near-term well locations that are planned and some are currently being designed. These four well locations are the Flagger wells, the Barney Lee wells, the Palomar Well replacement, and a new well in the Warm Springs basin. Water from the Flagler and Barney Lee wells will be conveyed through the TVP. These four well locations have a projected supply of 3,860 acre-ft/yr.
EVMWD long-term recommendations include modifying Canyon Lake operations, transferring Bunker Hill Basin groundwater via Riverside and Corona, Temecula-Pauba groundwater, and indirect potable reuse at the Regional WRF. Figure 6-8 shows the EVMWD projected maximum day demands (1.75 times the average day demands) and the current, near-term and long-term recommendations. Table 6-11 shows the short-term projects required.

6.9 Summary of Existing and Planned Sources of Water
In summary, EVMWD has four sources of water supply: Local groundwater pumped from District-owned wells (which accounts for approximately 33 percent of the supply from 1992-2015 years). Surface water from Canyon Lake Reservoir and treated by the Canyon Lake Water Treatment Plant (which accounts for approximately 10 percent of the supply from 1992-2015). Imported water purchased from Metropolitan Water District through WMWD (which accounts for approximately 57 percent of the supply from 1992-2013). Water is imported from the TVP connection, the Auld Valley Pipeline EM-17 connection, the conjunctive use program (CUP) (described in Section 4), and the Coldwater Basin (starting in August 2013). The imported water includes the transfer from WMWD. Recycled Water from the Horsethief, Railroad Canyon, Santa Rosa, and Regional WRF.
Table 6-12 and Table 6-13 show the 2015 water supply and the projected water supply amounts. The total rights available to EVMWD through the transfers with WMWD are added to the Purchased or Imported Water category. Although the groundwater wells have a total capacity of 20,808 acre-ft/yr, a safe yield from the Elsinore Basin is 5,500 acre-ft/yr, and therefore the projected groundwater volume
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 6-33 EVMWD Section 6 System Supplies
from the Elsinore Basin will remain at 5,500 acre-ft/yr. The existing safe yield in the Coldwater Basin is 1,200 acre-ft/yr. Future groundwater well supply projects are not in the Elsinore Basin or Coldwater Basin, and therefore the capacity increases from 6,700 acre-ft/yr to 10,560 acre-ft/yr (assuming a future capacity of 3,860 acre-ft/yr in the Bedford, Lee Lake, and Warm Springs Basin). Ideally, the Canyon Lake WTP could operate at a capacity of 7,800 acre-ft/yr. However, the recent drought has reduced the Canyon Lake WTP to an average treatment of approximately 2,322 acre-ft/yr. It is assumed in the future that the natural runoff to be treated at the Canyon Lake WTP would remain around 2,500 acre- ft/yr. In 2020, modifications to the Canyon Lake operations will allow for an additional supply of 1,500 acre-ft/yr. Although the DWR table combines the potable water and recycled water supply in Table 6-13, this is an inaccurate picture of the available supply since the potable water and recycled water system are separate. Both of these supply come from different sources. Table 6-14 and Table 6-15 provides a breakdown of potable water and recycled water supply sources. Table 6-14 includes the recycled water used for IPR since that is considered a potable water supply.
The recycled water future projections are based off the expected expanded inflow / capacity of the WRF. The Railroad Canyon is projected to divert additional flow to the Railroad Canyon WRF to meet high demand periods. In 2016, a diversion structure was completed to divert wastewater along the Tuscany Division to the Railroad Canyon WRF, which has increased wastewater supply to the Railroad Canyon WRF. The diversion is anticipated to increase the supply to the Railroad Canyon WRF to reach the operational capacity of the Railroad Canyon WRF at 1.12 MGD (1,255 acre-ft/yr). The Horsethief WRF is planning on being expanded from 0.5 MGD to 0.8 MGD (900 acre-ft/yr) to meet future recycled water demands in the Horsethief area. To address the seasonal high demands in the Wildomar system, EVMWD is considering diverting additional flow to the Santa Rosa WRF to increase their available recycled water supply from the TVRWP. Currently, EVMWD is diverting an annual average of 0.8 MGD of wastewater to Santa Rosa WRF, but is planning to increase the diverted flow to 1.3 MGD (1,456) by 2020 and to 2.0 MGD (2,240 acre-ft/yr) by 2040. Therefore, there is an expected recycled water capacity of 3,607 acre-ft/yr to be used for non-potable supply, although the average yearly use is projected to be 2,061 acre-ft/yr since there will be a much higher demand during the summer months and a lower demand during the winter months. The reasonably available volume and total right of recycled water increases starting in 2035 to account for the additional flow available from Regional WRF after the agreement to maintain Lake Elsinore levels and Temescal Wash discharges are met. The excess recycled water could be used to address future recycled water customers or potentially groundwater IPR depending on feasibility.

6.10 Climate Change Impacts to Supply
The future reliability of imported water will play a key role in EVWMD’s water resource management strategies. Hydrologic conditions in tributaries that feed the State Water Project (California Northern Sierras) and the Colorado River Aqueduct (Colorado River Basin) affect the amount of imported water supply that is available in any given year to meet water demands or to replenish regional storage.
Climate change has the potential to affect the reliability of both local and imported water supplies and increase water demand. No formal studies have been conducted to evaluate the impacts of climate change on the Elsinore Valley. However, the results of several studies which have been conducted on a larger scale can be used to indicate trends for Elsinore Valley. For example, studies conducted by the National Center for Atmospheric Research for Inland Empire Utilities Agency suggest a 0.21 to 3.81 degrees F temperature increase and -19 to +8 percent change in winter precipitation in Southern California between 2000 and 2030 (Groves, Knopman, Lempert, Berry, & Waifan, 2008). Studies conducted by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) suggest that current temperatures will increase by 1 to 2 degrees F by 2050, and by 4 degrees F above current levels by 2100 (Governments, 2009). Higher temperatures and reduced precipitation are expected to increase evapotranspiration and irrigation water demands; however, higher temperature may also result in increased humidity which could offset a portion of the demand increase. Reliability estimates developed by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) for the State Water Project (SWP) supplies account for the impacts of climate change.
Traditional planning methods assume that future hydrologic conditions will be representative of past conditions (from early 1900s). However, as demonstrated by current weather patterns, future climate and hydrologic conditions may differ from past observations due to climate change and extremities of climate variation that have recently manifested. In addition to climate change and natural variation, other uncertainties such as population projections and unforeseen regulatory changes, may pose risks to resource management strategies that assume the status quo.
The consequences of climate change introduce uncertainty in water supply planning for the Elsinore Valley that may require contingency planning. This section discusses EVMWD’s strategies to mitigate the impacts associated with climate change.
6.10.1 An Integrated Approach
In order to address uncertainty, EVMWD will implement a multi-faceted approach to ensure that water resources strategy can adapt to changing conditions and that long-range resource management policies are in place to optimize water supply and storage assets in times of both drought and surplus.
1. Core Resource Strategy: Implement a preferred water supply portfolio to meet future water demands. Includes a 10 percent water supply buffer as a contingency. 2. Adaptive Resource Plan: Implement alternative water supply options based on changed conditions and triggers. Utilizes EVMWD’s DSS water resources model to update changed conditions and reevaluate resource strategies.
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 6-38 EVMWD Section 6 System Supplies
6.10.2 Core Resource Strategy
As discussed in the IRP, EVMWD will focus on the implementation of the recommended portfolio which increases long-term water supply reliability by reducing reliance on imported water supplies. This core resource strategy considers planning for 10 percent supply buffer to meet future uncertainties.
6.10.3 Adaptive Resource Plan
EVMWD’s resources management strategies will focus on the following areas:
Long-term groundwater storage in the Elsinore Basin Drought management and response Continued water conservation Acquiring strategic water assets 6.10.3.1 Long‐term groundwater storage in the Elsinore Basin:
EVMWD adopted a Groundwater Management Plan (MWH, 2006a) in 2005 which identified conjunctive use projects as an important element of basin management. Direct recharge projects that utilize the groundwater basin as a storage facility and allow for the extraction of stored water for use during drought and high demand periods were identified, designed, and constructed. These direct recharge projects were funded by the MWDSC part of a groundwater storage program. During any fiscal year (beginning on July 1st and ending on June 30th) Metropolitan may deliver up to 3,000 AF of water for storage in the Elsinore Basin. EVMWD’s dual-purpose wells are used to inject these deliveries in the Elsinore Basin. Metropolitan may also extract up to 4,000 acre-ft of water stored in the Elsinore Basin as part of the Groundwater Storage Program. During a fiscal year when stored Metropolitan deliveries are extracted, supply from the EVMWD’s imported water sources is reduced by an equal amount.
Since 2010, EVMWD has stored approximately 8,000 acre-feet of imported water during wet periods and extracted the same amount during the periods of drought. Given the success of this program and the large storage potential in the Elsinore Basin, long-term groundwater storage will be a key component of EVMWD’s adaptive management strategy. EVMWD may utilize a combination of imported water supplies and local Canyon Lake surface water for the purposes of groundwater storage. EVMWD may also choose to expand the existing conjunctive use program with Metropolitan or explore participate in regional dry year yield programs with the intent of storing water in the Elsinore Basin.
For planning purposes, water management experts assume that a 10-year hydrologic cycle in California is comprised of three wet years, four normal years, and three dry years. A 10-year storage program would consider recharging a total of 10,000 AF (2,000 AF each wet year, and 1,000 AF each normal year). This volume was defined considering that during the dry years EVMWD will experience a water shortage condition of around 10% of current water consumption. Consequently, extraction of stored water will be implemented during the each of the three dry years at rate of 3,000 AF/yr.
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 6-39 EVMWD Section 6 System Supplies
6.10.3.2 Drought management and response:
In 2015, EVMWD updated its existing Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) in order to make it consistent with that of regional water suppliers. The WSCP establishes triggers for the implementation of demand reduction measures based on regional water shortages. The WSCP also empowers EVMWD to implement surcharges and penalties to promote conservation and penalize waste during regional shortages.
6.10.3.3 Continued water conservation:
The success of EVMWD’s water conservation program is demonstrated by the overall reduction in per capita water use since 2007. EVMWD will continue to enhance its on-going conservation program by continuing its robust outreach, partnering with developers to promote water efficiency, and incentivizing water conservation as approved by EVMWD’s Board of Directors.
6.10.3.4 Acquiring strategic water assets:
On a pro-active basis, EVMWD will review on-going and proposed regional and statewide water programs. As part of this effort, EVMWD will work closely with Western Municipal Water District and may participate in groundwater banking programs outside its service area, purchase permanent water rights on the open market, participate in regional desalination programs etc.
While the effects of climate change cannot be precisely estimated, EVMWD’s core resource strategy as well as its adaptive resource framework that focus on four key areas will assist EVMWD in reliably meeting the long-term water demands within its service area.
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 6-40 EVMWD
SECTION 7 WATER SUPPLY RELIABILITY ASSESSMENT The California Urban Water Management Planning Act (Act) requires urban water suppliers to assess water supply reliability that compares total projected water use with the expected water supply over the next twenty years in five-year increments. The Act also requires an assessment for a single dry year and multiple dry years. This chapter presents the reliability assessment for EVMWD’s service area.
7.1 Constraints on Water Sources CWC 10631 (c)(2) For any water source that may not be available at a consistent level of use, given specific legal, environmental, water quality, or climatic factors, describe plans to supplement or replace that source with alternative sources or water demand management measures, to the extent practicable. CWC 10634 The plan shall include information, to the extent practicable, relating to the quality of existing sources of water available to the supplier over the same five-year increments as described in subdivision (a) of Section 10631, and the manner in which water quality affects water management strategies and supply reliability. EVMWD’s water supplies are surface water from Canyon Lake, groundwater pumping, and imported water from Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) via the Temescal Valley Pipeline (TVP) and Auld Valley Pipeline (AVP). EVMWD has developed a 2016 Integrated Resources Plan (IRP) with the goal of reducing imported water reliance on MWH. The Regional Board is currently implementing and/or validating each of the existing recommendations in the IRP. The future supply recommendations are included in Section 6. The constraints on water sources is broken down by source type; imported water supply, groundwater supply, and surface water supply reliability. Constraints can include quantity or quality declines in water.
7.1.1 Imported Water Supply Constraints Per Metropolitan’s Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP), Metropolitan indicates that its existing supplies are adequate to meet the projected demands in all hydrologic conditions through 2040 (Metropolitan, 2015). Implementation of planned supplies by Metropolitan increases reliability and maintains an adequate reserve. Based on Metropolitan’s 2015 UWMP, it is assumed that imported water is fully reliable during average, dry, and wet years. Therefore, it is assumed that Metropolitan will have sufficient supplies to meet all demands during wet and average years.
EVMWD adopted a Groundwater Management Plan (GWMP) (MWH, 2006) in 2005 that identified conjunctive use projects as an important element of basin management. Direct recharge projects that utilize the groundwater basin for storage and allow for the extraction of the stored water for use during drought and high demand periods were identified, designed, and constructed. These direct recharge projects were funded by the Metropolitan as part of a groundwater storage program. During any fiscal
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 7-1 EVMWD Section 7 Water Supply Reliability Assessment
year (beginning on July 1st and ending on June 30th) Metropolitan may deliver up to 3,000 acre-ft of water for storage in the Elsinore Basin. EVMWD’s dual-purpose wells are used to inject these deliveries in the Elsinore Basin. Metropolitan may also extract up to 4,000 acre-ft of water stored in the Elsinore Basin as part of the Groundwater Storage Program. During a fiscal year when stored Metropolitan deliveries are extracted, instead of EVMWD extracting groundwater and pumping to Metropolitan, supply from the EVMWD’s imported water sources is reduced by an equal amount.
Although Metropolitan has reported that it will be fully reliable until 2040, in order to plan for uncertainties associated with imported water supplies, this report assumes that Metropolitan will extract up to 4,000 acre-ft annually during single dry and multiple dry years from the Groundwater Storage Program. This is approximately 10 percent less than existing imported water supply capacity available to EVMWD.
EVMWD obtains all of its imported water supply from Metropolitan through Western MWD. Metropolitan recognizes the importance of the quality of its water supplies and, to the extent possible, is concentrating on maintaining the quality of its source water and developing water management programs that protect and enhance water quality. These management programs recognize that any contaminants that cannot be sufficiently controlled through protection of source waters must be handled through changed water treatment protocols or blending.
Imported Metropolitan water treated at Skinner Filtration Plant is conveyed to EVMWD through the AVP. The TDS content of this water supply, which is primarily Colorado River water, ranges between 440 to 640 mg/L. In 1999, Metropolitan adopted a policy to maintain the TDS concentration at 500 mg/L (secondary standards for drinking water) or less. This is being accomplished by blending the Colorado River water, which has TDS levels as high as 700 mg/l, with SWP water that has an average TDS of about 300 mg/L. Imported Metropolitan water treated at Mills Filtration Plan is conveyed to EVMWD through the TVP. The TDS content of this water supply has an average TDS of about 315 mg/L. Currently there are no restrictions on water supply due to imported water quality. Therefore, the biggest constraint in the imported water supply will be the availability of Metropolitan water supply, which is dependent on legal, environmental, and climatic changes.
7.1.2 Groundwater Supply Constraints EVMWD is the largest groundwater producer in the Elsinore Basin accounting for approximately 99 percent of the total production. Groundwater supply from the Elsinore Basin is considered a reliable source of supply due to the long-term natural recharge of the groundwater basin. During a normal year, the well pumps are not operated regularly during winter months when demands are low. However, during dry years, the well pumps can be used to extract groundwater throughout the year increasing total extraction. EVMWD’s conjunctive use program recharges imported water in the Elsinore Basin during wet years enhancing groundwater supply reliability. Conjunctive use and artificial recharge programs instituted by EVMWD over the past several years and continued implementation of such programs in the future is expected to result in satisfactory management of the Elsinore Basin. Therefore, the only quantity constraint on the groundwater system is that the pumped water from the
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 7-2 EVMWD Section 7 Water Supply Reliability Assessment
Elsinore Basin and Coldwater Basin must remain at or below the safe yield of the basin, which is approximately 5,500 acre-ft/yr and 1,200 acre-ft/yr, respectively. EVMWD has a total well capacity of 20,800 acre-ft/yr, so EVMWD has capacity to meet the anticipated average year production of 6,700 acre-ft/yr.
The presence of nitrates and arsenic in groundwater is a concern in the Elsinore Basin. Nitrates are added to the groundwater via septic systems and agricultural discharges. Groundwater from the Elsinore Division system and the Temescal Division system had an average nitrate (as N) level of 4.5 mg/L. Based on studies conducted by EVMWD, there is no conclusive evidence that nitrate concentrations have been increasing in the groundwater basin over time. The Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) and Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) for nitrate (as N) and arsenic are 10 mg/L and 10 µg/L, respectively.
EVMWD is proactively investigating and has implemented solutions to mitigate high arsenic concentrations in groundwater. While the presence of arsenic in groundwater is likely to impact groundwater production, EVMWD has constructed arsenic treatment and removal facilities to address water quality issues. In addition, a blending pipeline blends production from Cereal 1 and Corydon wells with the production from Summerly and Diamond wells to reduce arsenic concentrations. Overall, the Elsinore Basin groundwater quality is considered to be good. EVMWD does not anticipate any groundwater quality to have adverse impacts on supply reliability. Groundwater is not expected to be impacted by any other factors such as legal, environmental, or climatic changes.
7.1.3 Local Surface Water Supply Constraints Local inflows to the Canyon Lake are treated at the Canyon Lake Water Treatment Plant (CLWTP). The reliability of supplies at the CLWTP is dependent on local hydrology and is reduced during dry year conditions. A review of historical data indicates a reduction of up to 50 percent in available natural recharge at Canyon Lake during dry years from average or normal year flows. Supplemental raw water can be purchased from WR-31 to supplement the surface water to Canyon Lake. However, during dry periods supplemental raw water is not purchased due to the high amount of water lost through percolation through the San Jacinto River. Therefore, the biggest constraint to the local surface water supply is the hydrology and the annual natural flow to Canyon Lake, and when this flow is low, EVMWD typically purchases a greater amount of imported water from MWD.
Canyon Lake water has elevated concentration of disinfection by-product (DBP) precursors, mainly dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and bromide. As a result, when CLWTP is in operation, DBP concentrations above the current 80 μg/L regulatory limit for total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) have been reported. EVMWD is currently evaluating a new disinfection profile to meet the Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR) and Stage 2 D/DBP Rule. Canyon Lake has the highest Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) among all of EVMWD’s water sources. The highest running annual average of TDS in treated water from Canyon Lake is 680 mg/L. However, salinity is not an issue in the Canyon Lake water as it is well below the secondary MCL of 1,000 mg/L for TDS and water from the plant is mixed with other lower salinity sources. With the proposed implementation of UV
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 7-3 EVMWD Section 7 Water Supply Reliability Assessment disinfection facilities at the WTP, it is expected that Canyon Lake water quality will not affect supply reliability at the WTP. Supply from Canyon Lake is not expected to be impacted by legal, water quality, or environmental factors.
Table 7-1 summarizes the factors that can potentially impact supply deliveries from EVMWD’s water sources, including legal, environmental, water quality, and climatic issues.

7.2 Reliability by Type of Year CWC 10631 (c)(1) Describe the reliability of the water supply and vulnerability to seasonal or climatic shortage, to the extent practicable, and provide data for each of the following: (A) an average water year, (B) a single dry water year, (C) multiple dry water years.
The reliability of the three sources of water are described below in Table 7-2. Table 7-2 is divided into three tables, one table for each supply source. The reliability of the imported water is dependent on MWD, and MWD has reported that it will be fully reliable until 2040. However, during dry years and multiple dry years, this UWMP assumes that Metropolitan will extract up to 4,000 acre-ft annually from the Groundwater Conjunctive Use Storage Program. Therefore, during the single dry year and multiple dry year, the imported water supply is decreased by 4,000 acre-ft/yr and the groundwater supply is increased by 4,000 acre-ft/yr. The groundwater supply is not affected by multiple dry years, and therefore the groundwater supply remains constant through single dry-years and multiple-dry years. The surface water flow is depended on dry-years and multiple-dry years, and therefore the historical data from 1992-2015 (only available hydrology inflow data) is evaluated to determine the available supply during a single-dry year and multiple-dry years. The definition of “average year”, “single-dry year”, and “multiple-dry year” is provided in Section 7.2.1, along with an explanation of specific values for each source.

7.2.1 Types of Years
7.2.1.1 Average year A year, or an averaged range of years, that most closely represents the average water supply available to the agency. The average year was developed for each of the three sources based on the below criteria:
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 7-5 EVMWD Section 7 Water Supply Reliability Assessment
1) Imported water – EVMWD has never reached their available capacity from imported water. Therefore, a base year of 2000-2015 was evaluated with the available capacity provided to EVMWD from MWD at 26,286 acre-ft/yr. 2) Groundwater – The average existing capacity used for groundwater will be 6,700 acre-ft/yr, which combines the safe yield for the Elsinore Basin (5,500 acre-ft/yr) and Coldwater Basin (1,200 acre-ft/yr) safe yield, which is 5,500 acre-ft/yr. The future average groundwater capacity will increase due to future projects and will equal the groundwater capacity values from Table 6- 13 (DWR Table 6-9 R). 3) Surface water – Natural inflow volumes using hydrology data from 1993-2015. In 2020, the average capacity will increase to 4,000 acre-ft/yr due to modifying the Canyon Lake operations. 4) Recycled water – Supply is based on historical average effluent from WRF flows from 2012- 2015.
7.2.1.2 Single-dry year The single-dry year is the year that represents the lowest water supply available to the agency. The single-dry year was developed for each of the three sources based on the below criteria: 1) Imported water – It is assumed that Metropolitan will extract 4,000 acre-ft/yr from the Groundwater Storage Program during single-dry and multiple-dry years, lowering the available supply of imported water to EVMWD. 2) Groundwater – Groundwater production will increase by the amount that Metropolitan extracts during dry-year and multiple-dry year demands. Therefore, the groundwater supply is increased by 4,000 acre-ft/yr during the dry-years and multiple dry-years. Dry year groundwater production for future groundwater sources is identified in the 2016 Integrated Resources Plan. 3) Surface water – Lowest supply from the Canyon Lake WTP from 1993-2015, which occurred in 1996, was 747 acre-ft. The dry year capacity value was increased by 1,125 acre-ft/yr from modifying the Canyon Lake operations. 4) Recycled water – The same as average year supply.
7.2.1.3 Multiple-dry year period The multiple-dry year period is the period that represents the lowest average water supply available to the agency for a consecutive multiple year period. The multiple-dry year was developed for each of the three sources based on the below criteria: 1) Imported water – It is assumed that Metropolitan will extract 4,000 acre-ft/yr from the Groundwater Storage Program during single-dry and multiple-dry years, lowering the available supply of imported water to EVMWD. 2) Groundwater – Groundwater production will increase by the amount that Metropolitan extracts during dry-year and multiple-dry year demands. Therefore, the groundwater supply is increased by 4,000 acre-ft/yr during the dry-years and multiple dry-years. Dry year groundwater production for future groundwater sources is identified in the 2016 Integrated Resources Plan. 3) Surface water – The three year average lowest supply from the Canyon Lake WTP from 1993- 2015, not including years when Canyon Lake WTP was under construction. The three-year
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 7-6 EVMWD Section 7 Water Supply Reliability Assessment
lowest average supply occurred from 1992 to 1994. The dry year capacity value was increased by 1,125 acre-ft/yr from modifying the Canyon Lake operations. 4) Recycled water – The same as average year supply.
7.2.2 Agencies with Multiple Sources of Water EVMWD has three different sources of water with a different hydrology for each source, and therefore the base year for each source is evaluated separately.
7.3 Supply and Demand Assessment CWC 10635 (a) Every urban water supplier shall include, as part of its urban water management plan, an assess- ment of the reliability of its water service to its customers during normal, dry, and multiple dry water years. This water supply and demand assessment shall compare the total water supply sources availa- ble to the water supplier with the total projected water use over the next 20 years, in five-year incre- ments, for a normal water year, a single dry water year, and multiple dry water years. The water service reliability assessment shall be based upon the information compiled pursuant to Section 10631, includ- ing available data from state, regional or local agency population projections within the service area of the urban water supplier. The future average year, single-dry year, and multiple-dry year supply is compared with the projected future demand to confirm the reliability of the supply sources. The average year, single-dry year, and multiple-dry year supply for all EVMWD potable water and recycled water sources are shown in Table 7-3. Table 7-3 shows the anticipated supply capacity for 2040. Only the enhanced conservation has a changing supply value over time, while the remaining supply sources have a fixed supply. The 3,100 acre-ft/yr value in Table 7-3 for enhanced conservation is the 2040 “supply”. The enhanced conservation supply for the planning horizons from 2020-2040 is included in Table 7-4. A more detailed description of all supply projects are in the EVMWD Integrated Resources Plan (EVMWD, 2016c).

The projected normal water year supply includes local groundwater and surface water as well as imported Metropolitan water sources. Projected water demand totals are based on demand forecasts presented in Section 4 – System Demands. Projected supply totals are based on supply forecasts presented in Section 6 – System Supplies. Table 7-5 provides the projected normal year supply and demand comparison until 2040. Current and anticipated future supplies are sufficient to meet the

projected normal year water demand through 2040. Table 7-5 includes both the potable water and recycled water supplies and demands. However, because the potable and recycled water systems are independent, Table 7-6 has been included to summarize only the potable water system and provide a more accurate comparison of the balance between potable supply and demand.

7.3.2 Projected Single and Multiple Dry-Year Supply and Demand
A comparison of supplies and demands reveals that supply is sufficient to meet demands for single dry year or multiple dry year requirements for all future horizons. As described in the Water Shortage Contingency Plan, dry years may prompt additional water conservation measures to ensure sufficient supply is maintained. Table 7-7 shows the projected single dry year supply and demand comparison until 2040, and Table 7-8 shows the projected multiple dry year supply and demand. Similarly to the normal year supply and demand comparison, Table 7-7 and Table 7-8 include both potable and recycled water supply and demand, while Table 7-9 and Table 7-10 show only potable water supply and demand caparisons for the single dry year and multiple dry year, respectively.

In years when EVMWD is projected to have a surplus supply of water, EVMWD will elect to not purchase as much imported water from MWD so that EVMWD will not have a surplus of water. EVMWD will prioritize groundwater pumping, recycled water, and the Canyon Lake WTP to within their safe yield, and supply the remaining amount of required demand with imported water from MWD.
7.4 Regional Supply Reliability CWC 10620 (f) An urban water supplier shall describe in the plan water management tools and options used by that entity that will maximize resources and minimize the need to import water from other regions. Due to the California drought and possible restrictions in imported water, alternative water supply options are being evaluated. EVMWD is doing feasibility studies on IPR for the Regional WRF. All of the recycled water developed from Regional WRF is currently used to meet contractual agreements to keep Lake Elsinore at a certain level and provide water for Temescal Wash. However, as population and wastewater demands increase, the Regional WRF is anticipated to have a surplus of recycled water after meeting both of these contractual agreements by 2025. Therefore, EVMWD is planning to use this surplus recycled water for conjunctive use or through IPR. EVMWD is currently conducting a groundwater feasibility study for IPR in the Elsinore Basin. As described previously, EVMWD is planning on constructing or replacing six wells within the next five years (five new wells and one well replacement). Five new wells are in groundwater basins different than the Elsinore Groundwater Basin. Having groundwater supplies in different basins will provide a more reliable groundwater supply to EVMWD during dry year periods. EVMWD is looking into increased recycled water supply to offset their imported potable water requirements. EVMWD is planning on increasing the capacity of Horsethief WRF by 0.3 MGD and recently started diverting increased amounts of wastewater flow to the Railroad Canyon WRF to
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 7-11 EVMWD Section 7 Water Supply Reliability Assessment increase the recycled water production from the Railroad Canyon WRF to meet peak summer demands. EVMWD has extended their contractual agreements with Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) and Rancho California Water District (RCWD) to receive recycled water through the Temescal Valley Recycled Water Pipeline (TVRWP). EVMWD formed a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) that allows EVMWD to deliver wastewater to RCWD Santa Rosa WRF in exchange for recycled water through the TVRWP.
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 7-12 EVMWD
SECTION 8 WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLANNING
CWC 10632 (a) The plan shall provide an urban water shortage contingency analysis that includes each of the following elements that are within the authority of the urban water supplier. Water supplies may be interrupted or reduced significantly in a number of ways, such as a drought that limits supplies, an earthquake that damages water delivery or storage facilities, a regional power outage, or a toxic spill that affects water quality. This chapter of the Plan describes how EVMWD intends to respond to such emergencies so that emergency needs are met promptly and equitably.
The 1987 - 1992 drought, as well as other regulatory and institutional changes that occurred before it, resulted in greater uncertainties in the imported water supplies to Southern California. In 1991, widespread water rationing was imposed for the first time. MWD realized that a heightened level of coordination was required in order to minimize the risk of this happening in the future. As a result, the Integrated Resources Plan was adopted by MWDSC, which calls for a coordinated regional approach to secure reliable water supplies for Southern California in the long-term.
Most recently, the current drought that began in 2013 resulting in record low precipitation has stemmed major changes to water management practices and severe water use restrictions. On January 17, 2014, the governor proclaimed a State of Emergency and on April 1, 2015, the governor issued Executive Order B-29-15, which ordered the State Water Resources Control Board to impose restrictions to achieve a 25 percent reduction in potable urban water usage across the State. As a result, agencies across the State have made significant cuts to water uses. This is apparent in Section 5 in which SB X7-7 20x2020 per capita water use targets were already met in 2015 by a large margin. Long-term water shortage contingency planning will be necessary as climate change increases the frequency of drought in an already water-stressed region.
8.1 Stages of Action
CWC 10632 (a)(1) Stages of action to be undertaken by the urban water supplier in response to water supply shortages, including up to a 50 percent reduction in water supply, and an outline of specific water supply conditions which are applicable to each stage. EVMWD adopted a Water Shortage Contingency Plan on February 5, 1992. This section provides a summary of that plan in order to meet the requirements of the UWMP Act. The discussion in this section focuses on potable water.
EVMWD’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan (James M. Montgomery Consulting Engineers, 1992) was prepared to comply with Assembly Bill 11x (1991). The bill modified Section 10632 of the California Water Code and required every urban water supplier to file a plan, because of the worsening 1986–
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 8-1 EVMWD
Section 8 Water Shortage Contingency Planning
1992 drought. Key requirements of the current Section 10632 are summarized and discussed in the following sections.
The key elements of the EVMWD’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan are ordinances with phased water use restrictions and a drought rate structure. EVMWD had two water shortage ordinances (Nos. 78 and 81) that were recently combined, updated, and approved by the Board on May 28, 2015, and labeled as Ordinance 225, as presented in Appendix F. The drought plan stages and reduction goals (applied to the base years specified in the ordinances) are presented in Table 8-1. Stage I is the default stage when the District is able to meet all the water demands of its customers, and is intended to encourage customers to use water efficiently and to take advantage of the District’s water use efficiency programs. Determination of a Stage II, III, IV or V condition is at the discretion of EVMWD’s General Manager in consultation with the Board of Directors. EVMWD has a 50% reduction for Stage V.

This may correlate to Metropolitan’s WSDM Plan stage of "Water Supply Watch" or "Water Supply Alert" Conditions. Mandatory Waste Reduction. Stage 3 applies during periods when a reasonable probability exists that the District will not be able to meet all of the water demands of its Customers. This may correlate to Metropolitan’s III 11% to 25% Shortage Allocation Plan Shortage Levels 1 through 4. The District's Board of Directors may choose to implement a temporary drought rate and a temporary drought penalty to achieve water conservation Stage 4 applies during periods when the District will not be able to meet all of the water demands of its Customers. This may correlate to any of the IV 26% to 40% Metropolitan’s WSAP Regional Shortage Levels 5 through 7. The District's Board of Directors may choose to implement a temporary drought rate and a temporary drought penalty to achieve water conservation. Stage 5 applies during periods when the District will not be able to meet all of the water demands of its Customers. This shortage level may correlate to Metropolitan’s WSAP Regional Shortage Levels 8, 9, 10, or greater. Stage V 40% to >50% 5 may be declared during an Immediate Emergency. A stage 5 declaration may also be accompanied by a Board Resolution declaring a Water Shortage Emergency. 1 One stage in the Water Shortage Contingency Plan must address a water shortage of 50%. NOTES:
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 8-2 EVMWD
Section 8 Water Shortage Contingency Planning
The trigger levels to move from one stage to the next depend on the local water supply conditions and actions taken by Metropolitan. Metropolitan’s actions represent the principal trigger(s) for EVMWD’s action, because cutbacks in the imported water supply to EVMWD will require action to mitigate those impacts. The reduction in supply to the different customers is depended on the customer class, as shown in Table 8-1. EVMWD does not have customers with interruptible deliveries at this time.
8.2 Prohibition on End Uses
CWC 10632 (a)(4) Additional, mandatory prohibitions against specific water use practices during water shortages, including, but not limited to, prohibiting the use of potable water for street cleaning. (5) Consumption reduction methods in the most restrictive stages. Each urban water supplier may use any type of consumption reduction methods in its water shortage contingency analysis that would reduce water use, are appropriate for its area, and have the ability to achieve a water use reduction consistent with up to a 50 percent reduction in water supply. The mandatory water use restrictions and actions are detailed in Ordinances No. 225. Key prohibited actions by stage are presented in Table 8-2. Subsequent Stages requires that restrictions and prohibitions from previous Stages apply to that Stage. For example, all restrictions and prohibitions from Stage 1 apply to Stage 2, and all restrictions and prohibitions from Stage 1 and 2 apply to Stage 3, etc.
EVMWD’s mandatory water use restrictions are detailed in Ordinance No. 225. Some of the reduction methods are ongoing efforts and do not have a specified stage at which they take effect. Detailed information on the stages at which the methods take effect is listed below and more information is included in Appendix F.

8.2.1 Landscape Irrigation
Landscape irrigation prohibition is a key component in EVMWD’s strategies to conserve water during times of drought or limited supply. There are different landscape irrigation techniques for all four stages, and landscape irrigation prohibition is the most impactful way to conserve water. Landscape irrigation prohibition applied by EVMWD include:
1) Limiting landscape irrigation to specific days. The specific days changes based on the Stage of the water shortage contingency plan. The irrigation days is more limited during higher stages of the contingency plan. 2) Restricting runoff from landscape irrigation. Prohibits failing to prevent excessive runoff from irrigation activities and using water to wash driveways, sidewalk, and other paved areas.
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 8-5 EVMWD
Section 8 Water Shortage Contingency Planning
8.2.2 Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional (CII)
CII water uses are only a small part of the total water demands in the EVMWD system. EVMWD has developed CII restrictions during stage II in the water shortage contingency plan. Restaurants, cafes, and other public food service establishments are prohibited from serving drinking water unless specifically request by their customers.
8.2.3 Water Features and Swimming Pools
CWC 10632 (b) Commencing with the urban water management plan update due July 1, 2016, for purposes of developing the water shortage contingency analysis pursuant to subdivision (a), the urban water supplier shall analyze and define water features that are artificially supplied with water, including ponds, lakes, waterfalls, and fountains, separately from swimming pools and spas, as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 115921 of the Health and Safety Code. Health and Safety Code Section 115921 As used in this article the following terms have the following meanings: (a) “Swimming pool” or “pool” means any structure intended for swimming or recreational bathing that contains water over 18 inches deep. “Swimming pool” includes in-ground and aboveground structures and includes, but is not limited to, hot tubs, spas, portable spas, and non-portable wading pools. During stage III, the filling, refilling or adding of water to uncovered outdoor swimming pools, wading pools, or spas is prohibited. Stage II of the water shortage contingency plan restricts water use in decorative water features, while stage III restricts additional water used for recreational use, like swimming pools and spas.
8.2.4 Defining Water Features
During stage III of the water shortage contingency plan, the operation of any exterior ornamental fountain or similar structure is prohibited. An exterior ornamental fountain is a decorative water feature, and does not include recreational water features, such as swimming pools. Golf course water hazards that are not part of an integral part of the permanent irrigation or fire protection system, fountains, and other waterscape features are not to be filled or replenished during stage III.
8.2.5 Other
Other measures are taken during the different stages of the water shortage contingency plan that could not be easily defined in the other categories. Other measures include: 1) Encouraging water efficient landscaping in stage I 2) Failure to repair a controllable leak is defined as “waste of water” and is prohibited in stage I
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 8-6 EVMWD
Section 8 Water Shortage Contingency Planning
3) Car washing is refrained to only be done with a hand-held bucket or hose equipped with a positive shutoff nozzle for quick rinses, unless the washing is done at a commercial car wash or service station using recycled water. Car washing is then prohibited during stage IV unless it is done at a commercial car wash using recycled water. 4) In stage IV and stage V, there is additional rationing of water for wholesale customers and retail customers.
8.3 Penalties, Charges, Other Enforcement of Prohibitions
CWC 10632 (a)(6) Penalties or charges for excessive use, where applicable.
EVMWD’s water shortage ordinance includes customer penalties for non-compliance, and this is included in Section 13 of Appendix F. These include warnings, fines, flow restrictions, and finally, water service shut-offs. Penalties and charges are imposed for violations during mandatory water reductions. The penalty surcharges vary for each stage of mandatory water reduction. The consequences for violating the water use prohibitions are summarized below.
1) First Violation – Notice of Non-Compliance. The District is authorized and directed to issue a written warning notice for the first time a user has failed or refused to comply with the water shortage ordinance.
2) Second Violation – Final Written Notice. For a second violation within twelve months of the first violation, the District shall issue a final written notice to the second time offender with additional information such as the required compliance and potential fines and/or penalties for noncompliance.
3) Third, Fourth, and Fifth Violation - Fine, Flow Restriction, or Water Service Shutoff. For the third, fourth, and fifth violation within a twelve-month period, a monetary penalty for each day a person violates the ordinance will be applied. During Stage I and II, the penalty is one hundred dollars ($100) per day for the third, fourth, and fifth violation. During Stages III, IV, and V the penalty is $200, $400, and $500 per day for the third, fourth, and fifth violation, respectively.
4) Sixth and Subsequent Violation - Flow Restriction, or Water Service Shutoff. If the customer has failed or refused to comply with the notice of non-compliance, the General Manager has the authority to provide flow-restricting devices at the customer’s meter. If installing a flow-restricted device is infeasible or impractical, the General Manager can authorize a shutoff. Any restriction or terminated service may be restored in accordance with the District’s applicable rules and regulations once the person shows they are in compliance with the Ordinance.

8.4 Consumption Reduction Methods
CWC 10632 (a)(5) Consumption reduction methods in the most restrictive stages. Each urban water supplier may use any type of consumption reduction methods in its water shortage contingency analysis that would reduce water use, are appropriate for its area, and have the ability to achieve a water use reduction consistent with up to a 50 percent reduction in water supply. Consumption reduction methods are actions taken by EVMWD to reduce water demand throughout their service area. The consumption reduction methods include some of the Demand Management Measures (DMM), where detail is provided in Section 9. The DMMs will help reduce the demands and consumptions in the system. The DMMs are not specifically assigned to different stages within the water shortage contingency plan and are intended to be conducted during all stages of water shortage. Specific heightened consumption reduction methods based on the water shortage contingency plan stage has not been developed for EVMWD.

8.5 Determining Water Shortage Reductions
CWC 10632 (a)(9) A mechanism for determining actual reductions in water use pursuant to the urban water shortage contingency analysis. EVMWD measures the actual water savings made from the water shortage contingency planning by comparing the current production and consumption data to historical production and consumption data. EVMWD does not have any unmetered accounts, and therefore can make an accurate calculation of the total consumption within the system. The current consumption can be compared to historical consumption data to determine the reduction in water used. Consumption data does not take into account non-revenue water, and therefore historical production and current production data should be compared to determine if the amount of reduction in consumption is equal to the amount of reduction in
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 8-8 EVMWD
Section 8 Water Shortage Contingency Planning
production. If there is a greater reduction in consumption than production, then the non-revenue water has increased and additional measures will be taken by EVMWD to identify the additional water loss.
8.6 Revenue and Expenditure Impacts
CWC 10632 (a)(7) An analysis of the impacts of each of the actions and conditions described in paragraphs (1) to (6), inclusive, on the revenues and expenditures of the urban water supplier, and proposed measures to overcome those impacts, such as the development of reserves and rate adjustments. A reduction in the amount of water consumed will lead to a reduction in revenue and expenses for EVMWD. These reductions will impact EVMWD’s ability to finance its operations during periods of water shortages. Revenue reductions are calculated in the EVMWD Drought Surcharge Study completed in July 2015, and included in Appendix G. Additionally, expenditures by EVMWD are also expected to decrease in the event of a water shortage. Reductions are expected in water purchases, groundwater pumping expenses, and booster pumping expenses.
Table 8-4 presents a summary of projected net revenue impact by stage, as well as the revenue reductions for that stage. It should be noted that EVMWD has the option of adjusting water rates during shortages to minimize or offset revenue reductions.
Table 8-4 Percent Revenue Reduction Due to Water Shortage Drought Stage Required Sales Reduction Net Revenue Impact Percent Revenue Reduction - 0% $0 - 5% $2,173,216 7% 3a 10% $3,992,768 12% 3b 15% $5,054,268 15% 3c 20% $5,841,118 18% 4a 25% $6,450,847 19% 4b 30% $7,168,480 22% 4c 35% $7,733,727 23% 5a 40% $8,336,119 25% 5b 45% $9,031,350 27% 5c 50% $9,907,389 30% Source: Values obtained from Table 2-8 in EVMWD Drought Surcharge Report (Appendix G)
Methods of compensating for the reduced revenue include penalties for excess water use and rate increases for customers. Penalties for excess water use encourage conservation in turn, further reducing revenue from water sales, but penalties generally only provide a small amount of revenue. If the water shortage is deemed temporary, a rate increase may not be required.
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 8-9 EVMWD
Section 8 Water Shortage Contingency Planning
For long-term shortages, immediate rate increases may be considered. A consequence of rate increases may be further conservation by customers. EVMWD would not change fixed domestic monthly service charges during a water shortage because these charges provide revenue for operational expenditures.
8.6.1 Drought Rate Structures and Surcharges
EVMWD conducted a study to evaluate drought surcharges in July, 2015, and this study is included as Appendix G. EVMWD released a pamphlet to the public on July 23, 2015, to discuss the drought surcharges and rate structure that will be applied for the next two years. Drought surcharges are an attempt to reduce the negative financial effects of water shortages and reduced customer revenue during drought conditions. The drought surcharges adds an additional rate to the base rate once the customers enter into the inefficient or excessive use tier. The rate structure is comprised of two components: a fixed monthly service charge (“meter charge”): and a variable volumetric water consumption charge (“water use charge”).
The rates for the fixed monthly Meter Charge are established on the basis of the size of the water meter serving a property and are calculated to recover a portion of the District’s fixed costs, such as water meter repairs and replacements, meter reading, billing, and customer service. The rates of the variable Water Use Charge are based on the number of units of water delivered to a property and consist of four tiers which impose higher rates as the level of water use increases. The four tiers include 1) indoor use, 2) outdoor use, 3) inefficient use, and 4) excessive use. Each residential, irrigation and recycled water customer is allocated a reasonable amount of water based on the customer’s particular needs.
After the drought surcharge study, EVMWD proposed a simplified rate structure. The new residential structure accounts for the new standard for individual water use statewide of 55 gallons of water, per person, per day. It will assess weather conditions per billing period rather than seasonally. Households will receive a water budget for outdoor use based on the irrigated square footage of the property. Above that water budget, inefficient and excessive water use will cost customers more, because it costs EVMWD more to secure this additional water supply. Because customers have control over the amount of water they use, these budgeted water rates allows customers to be charged according to the water they use.
With Governor Brown’s declaration of a drought emergency, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWCRB) was charged with mandating water restriction for California. The SWRCB adopted statewide mandates on May 6, 2015 requiring agencies to increase conservation efforts. The mandate requires EVMWD and its customers to reduce water use by 28 percent. In response to the drought, EVMWD initiated a temporary drought surcharge that started on July 31, 2015. This surcharge is designed to encourage additional conservation, help offset revenue losses due to the drought, and increase compliance with state conservation requirements. Drought surcharges are applied at Stages 3a to 5c and the penalty for entering inefficient or excessive use tier are shown below in Table 8-5.

Table 8-5 Drought Penalties Drought Stage Penalty for entering Inefficient or Excessive Use Tier 1 $0.00 2 $0.00 3 $1.59 per CCF 4 $2.09 per CCF 5 $4.01 per CCF
8.6.2 Use of Financial Reserves
The use of accumulated financial reserves may result in increased savings to the General Fund during non-events. This could also result in decreased availability for O&M or Capital Fund.
8.6.3 Other Measures
Other measures to overcome revenue and expenditure impacts include decreased capital expenditure. The impact of this measure would be increased savings to the General Fund, but could also cause a delay of system rehabilitation and a decrease in quality of future system facilities.
Another proposed measure is a decrease of O&M expenditure. This could also provide increased savings to the General Fund, but may also result in less staff available to respond to emergencies and reduced maintenance frequency of system facilities.

8.9 Minimum Supply Next Three Years
CWC 10632 (a)(2) An estimate of the minimum water supply available during each of the next three water years based on the driest three-year historical sequence for the agency’s water supply. As mentioned previously, EVMWD has three sources of potable water: imported water, groundwater, and surface water. The estimated minimum potable water supply available for the next three water years is shown in Table 8-7. The minimum water supply available is based on the historical driest three-year sequence for the agency’s water supply. The surface water and groundwater are effected by dry conditions. The historical driest three-year supply available period for each water source is described below:
• Imported water: EVMWD receives the full allotment from AVP and TVP, with a reduction of 4,000 AFY from the conjunctive use program, which allows for a supply of 22,286 AFY • Surface water: The lowest three-year average of surface water was from 1992 to 1994 with an average flow of 1,932 AFY. • Groundwater: The safe yield for the Elsinore Basin and Coldwater Basin plus 4,000 AFY from the conjunctive use program which equals 10,700 AFY.
In 2017 and 2018, four additional groundwater projects are planned, as described below. However, the minimum supply for the next three years will assume that these four planned projects were not constructed.
• In 2017, groundwater supply from the Bedford Basin and Palomar well replacement will be available with a dry-year capacity of 1,045 acre-ft/yr and 560 acre-ft/yr, respectively.

2015 Urban Water Management Plan EVMWD SECTION 9 DEMAND MANAGEMENT MEASURES Establishing goals and choosing water conservation measures is a continuing planning process. Goals are developed, adopted, and then evaluated periodically. Specific conservation measures are phased in and then evaluated for their effectiveness, achievement of desired results, and customer satisfaction. Water conservation can achieve a number of goals such as: • Meeting drought restrictions • Reducing groundwater overdraft • Reducing average annual potable water demands • Reducing urban runoff • Reducing demands during peak seasons Fourteen water Demand Management Measures (DMMs) are specified in the California Urban Water Management Planning Act (Act). The Act was revised in 2000 to relate the DMMs to the 14 Best Management Practices (BMPs) of the California Urban Water Conservation Council (CUWCC).
The CUWCC was formed in 1991 through the “Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Urban Water Conservation in California” (MOU). The urban water conservation BMPs included in the MOU are intended to reduce California’s long-term urban water demands. The BMPs are currently implemented by the signatories to the MOU on a voluntary basis.
EVMWD became a signatory to the California Urban Water Conservation Council (CUWCC) MOU regarding Urban Water Conservation in California on December 11, 2002. As members of the CUWCC who are in full compliance with the CUWCCs MOU, EVMWD can submit the 2013-2014 CUWCC Best Management Practice (BMP) reports in lieu of, or in addition to, describing the DMMs in Section 9 of the UWMP. Therefore, the DMMs will be summarized in Section 9, and EVMWD’s 2013 and 2014 CUWCC BMP Reports are presented in the Appendix H to provide documentation of DMM implementation.
9.1 Demand Management Measures for Wholesale Agencies
EVMWD serves as a wholesale agency to Farm Mutual Water Company. However, Farm Mutual Water Company has under 3,000 service connections, serves under 3,000 acre-feet per year (AFY), and therefore is not required to complete a UWMP. 9.2 Demand Management Measures for Retail Agencies
CWC 10631 (f)(A)… The narrative shall describe the water demand management measure that the supplier plans to implement to achieve its water use targets pursuant to Section 10608.20. (B) The narrative pursuant to this paragraph shall include descriptions of the following water demand management measures: (i) Water waste prevention ordinances.
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 9-1 EVMWD
Section 9 Demand Management Measures
(ii) Metering. (iii) Conservation pricing. (iv) Public education and outreach. (v) Programs to assess and manage distribution system real loss. (vi) Water conservation program coordination and staffing support. (vii) Other demand management measures that have a significant impact on water use as measured in gallons per capita per day, including innovative measures, if implemented.
The intent of the BMPs is to encourage water utilities to evaluate a number of measures and use those that are appropriate as the cornerstone of their conservation program. All customer classes are targeted by BMPs to make a comprehensive water conservation program. However, conservation measures should target water use sectors that have the highest demand or where water savings can be achieved at a low cost. The major focus of EVMWD’s conservation program is on residential water use, both single and multi-family, because they comprise almost 71 percent of the total water use in EVMWD’s service area in 2015. Many of the homes are now built with water-efficient plumbing fixtures to comply with state and local ordinances, so conservation of outdoor water uses is emphasized.
The list of BMPs developed in 1991 by the CUWCC contained 16 measures. The list was changed in 1997 when four measures were dropped, two new ones added, and revisions were made to others. In 2014, the California Water Code (CWC) was significantly modified by an Independent Technical Panel (ITP) formed by DWR to provide information on new demand management measures. The ITP generalized the BMPs into six more general requirements plus some “other” categories: 1) Water waste prevention ordinances 2) Metering 3) Conservation pricing 4) Public education and outreach 5) Programs to assess and manage distribution system real loss 6) Water conservation program coordination and staffing support 7) Other DMMs that have a significant impact on water use as measure din gallons per capita per day.
The six categories were classified either as “Foundational BMPs” or “Programmatic BMPs.” Foundational BMPs are considered to be essential water conservation activities, and if adopted for implementation, should be ongoing activities with no time limit. In contrast, Programmatic BMPs represent a range of activities that will improve conservation once implemented.
Foundational BMPs are divided into the Education and Utility Operations Categories. Programmatic BMPs are divided into the Residential, Commercial, Industrial and Institutional (CII), and Landscape categories.
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 9-2 EVMWD
Section 9 Demand Management Measures
Compliance with the BMP water savings goals can be accomplished by implementing the specific measures laid out in each BMP, by accomplishing a set of measures that achieves equal or greater water savings (in the CUWCC MOU as the Flex Track Menu), or simply by accomplishing set water savings goals as measured in gallons per capita per day (gpcd) consumption.
Both Utility Operations and Education are designated “Foundational BMPs” because they are considered to be essential water conservation activities and are adopted for implementation by all signatories to the MOU as ongoing practices with no time limits. The remaining BMPs are “Programmatic BMPs”.
EVMWD has had an active water conservation program ever since the 1986-92 drought. The program will continue to expand as staffing and budget allows. Further discussion of BMPs and the steps EVMWD is taking to implement them is provided below.
In addition to implementation of all BMPs, the MOU requires that signatories achieve a specified level of coverage for each of the BMPs (EVMWD, 2004a). For most of the BMPs, there are multiple criteria to be checked in order to meet coverage requirements.
9.2.1 Water Waste Prevention Ordinances (Foundational: Utility Operations)
EVMWD must enact and enforce measures prohibiting gutter flooding, single-pass cooling systems in new connections, non-recirculating systems in all new conveyor car wash and commercial laundry systems, and non-recycling decorative water fountains.
Ordinance 225 addresses water waste prevention measures and enforces administrative fines and/or penalties for water waste. Ordinance 225 includes water waste prevention measures even during times when there is no foreseeable threat of a water shortage since water waste is in violation of California Law at any stage. EVMWD also follows the Riverside County’s Ordinance 859.3, which is a comprehensive landscape ordinance including prohibitions on water waste. In addition, EVMWD is cooperating with the four cities in its service area to assist with enforcement of ordinance by providing door hangers notifying customers of water waste.
EVMWD also has fines in place for violations of water runoff and watering during the day.
9.2.2 Metering (Foundational: Utility Operations)
EVMWD must meet the following conditions to comply with the coverage requirements: 1) Meter for all new service connections; 2) Establish a program for retrofitting existing unmetered service connections; 3) Read meters and bill customers by volume of use; 4) Prepare a written plan, policy or program that includes a census of all meters and a currently approved schedule of meter testing, repair and meter replacement; 5) Identify intra- and inter-agency disincentives or barriers to retrofitting mixed use commercial accounts with dedicated landscape meters.
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 9-3 EVMWD
Section 9 Demand Management Measures
EVMWD has no unmetered accounts. EVMWD also requires meters for all new connections and bills by volume-of-use. EVMWD complies with this requirement.
9.2.3 Conservation Pricing (Foundational: Utility Operations)
EVMWD has adopted water budget rate structures to manage the water supply and encourage customers to conserve water. The customers will pay an increasing rate per hundred cubic feet as they increase the water usage. EVMWD is in compliance with this BMP and intends to keep this rate structure in place during the planning horizon of this UWMP.
9.2.4 Public Education and Outreach (Foundational: Utility Operations)
9.2.4.1 Public Information Programs
EVMWD has a public information program and therefore is in compliance. EVMWD will continue current programs, which include:
• Conducting Landscape Workshop in the fall and the spring. • Hosting the Annual Splash into Spring Event. • Participating in the statewide Water Awareness Month. • Putting additional and updated conservation information on EVMWD’s web site. • Continuing to promote water conservation with water bill inserts.
The public information program consists of legislative and community outreach programs, including an extensive water education program directed to public schools, and conservation programs directed to residential, commercial, and institutional customers. Annual landscape design classes along with water use evaluations are available to residential, commercial, and industrial customers. Monthly billing inserts, website access, tours, and outreach through community events are also provided. All of the rebate programs are promoted on a regular basis. Community outreach is also extended with a sponsorship program that includes donations of bottled water that carry the conservation message to thousands of customers per year.
9.2.4.2 School Education Programs
Long-term results to eliminate wasteful water-use habits are best achieved by the education of youth. EVMWD has had a school education program since 1987 and has a good relationship with the local school district. The program utilizes educational and theatrical presentations, poster contests, printed educational materials, and science fair support to target school-age children. They, in turn, inform their parents of the importance of water conservation in Southern California. Teaching children to respect the value of water helps them grow into responsible adults with a conservation ethic. Educational material meets state education frameworks and grade appropriate materials are distributed to grade levels K-3, 4-6, 7-8, and high school. EVMWD plans to continue its program at current levels and look for new material to keep the program current and interesting to students on an on-going basis with the pretext of
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 9-4 EVMWD
Section 9 Demand Management Measures
expanding the program over the next few years. Thus, EVMWD is in compliance with the requirements of this BMP.
9.2.5 Programs to Assess and Manage Distribution System Real Loss (Foundational: Utility Operations)
9.2.5.1 System Water Audits, Leak Detection, and Repair
EVMWD must do the following: 1) Standard Water Audit and Water Balance – Quantifying the current volume of apparent and real water loss, as well as completing the standard water audit and balance; 2) Validation – Developing a validated data set for all entries of the water audit and balance; 3) Economic Values – Determining the real loss recovery based on the Council’s adopted Avoided Cost Model or equivalent model consistent with the Council’s Avoided Cost Model; 4) Component Analysis – Analyzing apparent and real losses and their causes by quantity and type at least once every four years; 5) Interventions – Reducing real losses to the extent cost-effective; 6) Customer Leaks – Advising customers whenever it appears possible that leaks exist on the customer’s side of the meter.
EVMWD tested the water meters. EVMWD also completed the training in the American Water Works Association (AWWA) Water Audit Method since the adoption of the BMP in 2008. EVMWD plans to complete training in Component Analysis Process and perform the process by 2018.
EVMWD has a full-time Preventive Maintenance Supervisor who implements regular leak detection and line evaluations. EVMWD demonstrated progress in Water Loss Performance by repairing all reported leaks and breaks, as well as locating and repairing unreported leaks, to the extent cost-effective. EVMWD also establishes and maintains record keeping for the repair of reported leaks and for the date/time leak are reported and leak location.
9.2.6 Water Conservation Program Coordination and Staffing Support (Foundational: Utility Operations)
EVMWD must staff and maintain the conservation coordinator position and provide support staff as necessary. EVMWD has a water conservation coordinator. Duties of the coordinator are:
• Coordination and oversight of conservation programs and BMP implementation. • Preparation and submittal of the progress reports to various parties. • Communication and promotion of water conservation issues to senior agency management, coordination with operations and planning staff, preparation of an annual conservation budget, and preparation of water conservation plan updates.
EVMWD is in compliance with this requirement.
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 9-5 EVMWD
Section 9 Demand Management Measures
9.2.7 Other Demand Management Measures
Additional DMM programs that EVMWD implements are: 1) Landscape Irrigation Support 2) Wholesale Agency Assistance Programs 3) Residential Assessment Program 4) Landscape Water Evaluations 5) High-Efficiency Washing Machine Rebate Programs 6) WaterSense Specification (WSS) Toilets Program 7) Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional Reduction Monitoring
9.2.7.1 Landscape Irrigation Support (Programmatic: Landscape) EVMWD must provide non-residential customers with support and incentives to improve their landscape water use efficiency. EVMWD provides non-residential customer support and incentives to improve their landscape water use efficiency.
All EVMWD Landscape Irrigation accounts are on ET-based water budgets with a robust rate structure. Nearly all home owner associations (HOAs), cities, and the Lake Elsinore Unified School District now have weather based irrigation controllers (WBICs) and EVMWD is monitoring water use and offering follow-up evaluations to those customers. EVMWD funded a large portion of the cost of the WBICs and the installation. EVMWD is fully compliant with this BMP.
EVMWD recently updated their Landscape Resolution (Resolution No. 15-05-05) that targets water conservation for new developments. The Resolution focuses on specifying acceptable plant types and landscape plans which need to be approved by the City. The Resolution also focuses on landscape irrigation areas including smart irrigation controllers to adjust irrigation based on weather conditions, and having dedicated landscape meters for large areas. The Landscape Resolution contains other practices to reduce the amount of water waste during irrigation. The Landscape Resolution will provide significant future water conservation. The Landscape Resolution was approved and adopted on May 28, 2015 by the EVMWD Board of Directors. EVMWD staff has been working with the Cities to have them incorporate the Landscape Resolution into the Cities Ordinance.
9.2.7.2 Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional Reduction Monitoring (Programmatic: Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional) Due to the changes in the Plumbing Code and the fact that the devices available on the market are much more efficient, EVMWD has concentrated on the landscape irrigation side where the most potential for water savings would be. EVMWD implemented a restaurant program, hotel program and a commercial weather-based irrigation controllers (WBIC) program in FY 2011-12. All of EVMWD’s CII customers are eligible to participate in the many programs available to them.
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 9-6 EVMWD
Section 9 Demand Management Measures
9.2.7.3 Wholesale Agency Assistance Programs (Programmatic)
EVMWD supplies a small amount of wholesale water to one retail water utilities. EVMWD implemented this BMP by allowing the water retailers’ customers to directly participate in EVMWD’s programs. For example, they are eligible for retrofit kits, audits, and rebates similar to EVMWD’s retail customers.
9.2.7.4 Residential Assessment Program (Programmatic: Residential) Homes built before 1980 generally do not have low-flow showerheads, low-flush toilets, or faucet aerators. Even some homes built prior to 1992 may not have these devices because of poor plumbing code enforcement. The U.S. Energy Policy Act of 1992 has required 1.6 gallons per flush (gpf) toilets, 2.5 gallons per minute (gpm) showerheads, and 2.5 gpm faucets since January 1, 1994. The 2010 California Green Building Code Standards (CALGreen), which became effective January 1, 2011, requires a 20 percent reduction in the water use of plumbing fixtures compared to the previous requirements. As homeowners remodel older homes or replace plumbing fixtures, these older homes will, over many years, be brought up to code.
EVMWD implemented a targeted marketing strategy for distributing low-flow devices in 1997. Metropolitan launched a showerhead give-away program and distributed toilet water displacement devices, in which EVMWD assisted customers to participate. In January 2004, EVMWD launched its own showerhead give-away program for all customers whose homes were built before 1994. Customer notification is achieved through press releases, quarterly newsletters, flyers included with bills, cable TV public service announcements, and promotions at community outreach events, such as Splash Into Spring. This program is totally funded by EVMWD. EVMWD still provides free 1.5 gpm showerheads as well as other water conserving devices to any customer upon request. EVMWD has distributed 3,500 faucet aerators and WaterSense showerheads.
9.2.7.5 Landscape Water Evaluations (Programmatic: Landscape) Under the BMP coverage requirements, EVMWD is required to perform site-specific landscape water evaluations. Home water evaluations are available to any of EVMWD’s customers. Evaluations look at indoor fixtures but predominantly focus on outdoor water use, identifying water waste, improving water use efficiency, and preparing a customized irrigation schedule. EVMWD has seen a marked increase in requests for evaluations and continues to offer evaluations upon customer request. EVMWD has budgeted $50,000 for evaluations in FY 2015-16. EVMWD will also contact customers with a letter, phone call or bill notice when very high use is noted.
EVMWD educates customers about water conservation through two landscape workshops offered in the fall and the spring. EVMWD offers a rebate on Rotating Sprinkler Nozzles to customers or they can receive 25 FREE TORO Precision Spray Nozzles through a voucher program. EVMWD also has robust ET-based water budgets for all Domestic and Landscape Irrigation customers. EVMWD is fully compliant with this BMP and completed 250 residential landscape water evaluations in FY 2014.
2015 Urban Water Management Plan 9-7 EVMWD
Section 9 Demand Management Measures
9.2.7.6 High-Efficiency Washing Machine Rebate Programs (Programmatic: Residential) Agencies must provide incentives or institute ordinances requiring the purchase of high-efficiency clothes washing machines that meet an average water factor value of 5.0. The water factor is amount of water use per cycle divided by the washing machine capacity, measured in gallons per cubic foot of laundry. EVMWD encourages customers to purchase high-efficiency washing machines. These washing machines can reduce water usage up to 55 percent, but are currently more expensive than conventional washing machines. EVMWD provides a rebate of $150 for high-efficiency washing machines with a Water Factor of 3.7 or less. Availability of the rebate is advertised in water bill inserts twice per year and is currently updated on the website. Large home improvement stores including Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Sears have all been informed about the appliance rebate program and are an integral part of promoting the rebate program to their customers.
9.2.7.7 WaterSense Specification (WSS) Toilets Program (Programmatic: Residential) EVMWD must provide incentives or ordinances requiring the replacement of existing toilets using 3.5 gpf or more with a toilet meeting WSS standards. EVMWD has achieved a 75 percent market penetration for WSS toilets. EVMWD offers rebates for replacement of old toilets with a high efficiency toilets. Information is always updated and available on the website.
9.3 Implementation Over the Past Five Years
The initial term of the MOU commenced on September 1, 1991 and will be in effect for ten years, after which it is automatically renewed on an annual basis for all signatories unless a signatory withdraws. EVMWD signed the MOU in December 2002, so the initial term ends in December 2012. However, the MOU was recently amended in June 2010 and full implementation is now required by 2018. EVMWD is in full compliance in the 2013-2014 CUWCC BMP Reports and therefore does not need to describe its implementation over the past five years. The implementation over the past two years are included in the 2013-2014 CUWCC BMP Reports.
9.4 Planned Implementation to Achieve Water Use Targets
Currently, EVMWD has already achieved water use targets for 2020. EVMWD will continue to implement water conservation practices and enforce requirements of City ordinances to maintain lower than historic per capita water use. Table 9-1 presents a summary of estimated savings in acre-feet per year (acre- ft/yr) for each of the BMPs as reported by EVMWD to CUWCC in the Water Savings Calculation results for the year 2014. Water savings are estimated only for those BMPs for which savings can be quantified by EVMWD.

AGREEMENT RECYCLED WATER SALES AND OPERATING COSTS
This Agreement is made and entered into this 26th day of March, 2009, by and among EASTERN MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT organized and operating pursuant to Division 20 of the California Water Code (hereinafter "EMWD"), RANCHO CALIFORNIA WATER DISTRICT organized and operating pursuant to Division 13 of the California Water Code (hereinafter "RCWD") and ELSINORE VALLEY MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT organized and operating pursuant to Division 20 of the California Water Code (hereinafter "EVMWD"). EMWD, RCWD and EVMWD are sometimes individually referred to herein as the "Party" and collectively as the "Parties."
RECITALS
A. EMWD and RCWD previously entered into and executed a Wastewater Management Agreement dated June 23, 1989, to provide for coordinated operation of their respective wastewater service systems. The intent was to provide wastewater service in the most economical manner regardless of jurisdiction.
B. As part of this coordinated effort, both EMWD and RCWD have expanded their recycled water distribution systems and have constructed intertie facilities connecting EMWD's Temecula Valley RWRF and RCWD's Santa Rosa WRF to maximize the beneficial sale and use of reclaimed water within and adjacent to their respective service areas.
C. Temecula Valley RWRF and Santa Rosa WRF discharge excess recycled water into EMWD's Temecula Valley pipeline to a connection on the Reach 4 line upstream of the discharge facility at Temescal Creek as shown on the attached figure. In addition, raw sewage from EVMWD is transported to RCWD's Santa Rosa WRF, treated and used for local supply or placed into EMWD's Temecula Valley pipeline to serve beneficial use deliveries within EVMWD. Both RCWD and EVMWD purchased capacity (2.46 MGD and 1.54 MGD, respectively) in EMWD's Temecula Valley Pipeline and Reach 4 discharge pipelines.
D. To date, several MOU's/Agreements and Addendums to the June 23rd Agreement have been executed by and between Parties with respect to the delivery of recycled Agreement- Recycled Water Sales and Operating Costs
water, construction and maintenance of mutually beneficial facilities, and financial and other obligations. Due to plant and pipeline infrastructure improvements and other factors, many of these contracts contain provisions that are no longer practicable or viable.
E. The purpose of this agreement is to confirm the contractual provisions contained in the prior agreements and to formalize the mutual understanding among the Parties related to wholesale recycled water sales and/or discharge of recycled water through the Temecula Valley pipeline.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above-recited premises, together with the mutual covenants herein contained, EMWD, RCWD, and EVMWD agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Recycled Water Sales to RCWD
A. Confirmation of EMWD Recycled Water Supply to RCWD. RCWD is responsible for providing retail recycled water to its customers within its service area. The primary source of RCWD's recycled water supply is that which is generated from its Santa Rosa WRF. In addition, RCWD buys wholesale recycled water from EMWD as necessary to meet customer demands in excess of flows generated from Santa Rosa WRF. Under the Wastewater Management Agreement dated June 23, 1989, as amended by Addendum No. 1 dated October 8, 1993, EMWD agreed to sell a 'Minimum Basic Quantity' of 1.8 MGD to RCWD on a take or pay basis (Section XVII-A of Addendum 1) and to sell additional recycled water, up to 5 MGD, to RCWD on an 'As Available' basis (Section XVI-A of Addendum 1). Said recycled water supply agreement provisions are hereby confirmed and, notwithstanding the term of this Agreement, made perpetual.
2 March 26, 2009 Agreement- Recycled Water Sales and Operating Costs
B. EMWD Billing for Recycled Water Supply to RCWD. EMWD will bill RCWD monthly for all recycled water deliveries to RCWD through metering devices at points of delivery. The metering devices shall meet EMWD's requirements and include necessary SCADA, telemetry capabilities, pressure and flow monitoring, valves, access, and security features designed and constructed by RCWD at RCWD's expense per EMWD's requirements. In the event that the total deliveries during a calendar month do not total 1.8 MGD (5.52 acre-feet) average, EMWD shall also invoice RCWD for the recycled water not accepted (Le. 1.8 MGD or 5.52 acre-feet multiplied by the number of calendar days in the month less recycled water accepted, stated as MGD or AF). The total deliveries and EMWD's 'Minimum Basic Quantity' commitment to RCWD shall be calculated monthly based on the cumulative of metered flow to RCWD's and EVMWD's (see Paragraph 2) metered turnouts along the Temecula Valley Pipeline (TVP) located between the Palomar Booster Station and Dissipater Facility.
C. Price of Recycled Water. The price per acre foot shall be EMWD's then-in effect wholesale recycled water rate, current rate R4RC at $180.50/AF, subject to periodic adjustment.
D. Indemnification. RCWD will defend and indemnify EMWD from any claims or losses arising out of or in connection with the use of the recycled water delivered to RCWD by EMWD.
2. Recycled Water Sales to EVMWD.
A. Delivery Point for Recycled Water from EMWD. Recycled water deliveries by EMWD to EVMWD from the Reach 4 Pipeline shall be at turnouts approved by EMWD; each delivery point shall be metered. The metering devices and turnouts shall include necessary SCADA, telemetry capabilities, pressure and flow monitoring, valves, access, and security features designed and constructed by EVMWD at EVMWD's expense per EMWD's requirements.
3 March 26, 2009 Agreement- Recycled Water Sales and Operating Costs
B. Annual Reconciliation of Billing. At the beginning of each fiscal year, EVMWD's recycled water allocation shall be adjusted based on EVMWD's actual average daily flow contribution to the Santa Rosa WRF during the previous fiscal year. Based on this adjusted allocation, EVMWD and RCWD shall reconcile commodity charges associated with EVMWD's actual contribution to Santa Rosa WRF.
C. Billing for Recycled Water from EMWD. EMWD will bill EVMWD monthly for all recycled water deliveries to EVMWD through metering devices at points of delivery, except for 1.00 MGD (3.07 AF) average or then-in-effect EVMWD allocation (calculated on a monthly basis) taken at metering stations along the Temecula Valley Pipeline between the Palomar Booster Station and the Dissipater Facility. The credit of 1.00 MGD (3.07 AF) or then-in-effect EVMWD allocation does not apply to EVMWD recycled water purchases for Canyon Lake or any other turnouts located outside of the TVP reach described above.
D. Price of Recycled Water. The price per acre foot shall be EMWD's then-in effect wholesale recycled water rate, current rate R4RC at $180.50/AF, subject to periodic adjustment.
E. Surplus Recycled Water. EMWD agrees to sell surplus recycled water to EVMWD, on an as-available basis, with the understanding that current and future EMWD customers will have priority to recycled water supplies and there is no implied guarantee of availability of surplus recycled water to EVMWD.
3. EVMWD's Excess Recycled Water. RCWD has no obligation to take or to store recycled water that EVMWD cannot reuse and may refuse this recycled water at any time it does not have storage or reuse capacity.
4 March 26, 2009 Agreement- Recycled Water Sales and Operating Costs
4. Temecula Valley Pipeline/Palomar Booster Operational Costs. Each party shall be
responsible to pay its proportionate shar~ of the operational costs associated with the Temecula Valley Pipeline and Palomar Booster Station system. The cost will be calculated on a monthly basis by EMWD and invoiced to EVMWD and RCWD on an annual basis as follows:
Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District:
JXE=D
J = Operational Rate per MG (Avg. annual operational costs for Palomar Booster divided by flows processed thru respective facility)
E = Total recycled water deliveries during month from EMWD provided to EVMWD at metered turnouts along the TVP located between the Palomar Booster and the Dissipater Facility. The value of "E" shall be a minimum of 1.00 MGD (or then-in effect EVMWD allocation), regardless of the actual recorded value. The value of "E" is exclusive of recycled water deliveries to Canyon Lake.
D = EVMWD proportionate share of monthly Operational costs
An annual reconciliation of flows and operational costs shall be performed by EMWD as follows:
Designation E G H I J M EMWD EMWD SRWRF EVMWD EMWD EMWD RW RW Discharge Flow to Palomar BS Dissipater Deliveries Deliveries to TVP SRWRF Operational Operational to EVMWD to RCWD Rate Rate (TVP Only) January t
December Totals
5 March 26, 2009 Agreement- Recycled Water Sales and Operating Costs
If "H" is greater than 1.00 MGD average or then-in-effect EVMWD allocation (calculated monthly), then EMWD shall invoice RCWD for additional Operational costs associated with the Palomar BS and Dissipater Facility. The Operational cost shall be calculated as follows:
(H - (1.00 (or as appropriate) X calendar days per month)) X (J + M) = K
H = Santa Rosa WRF Discharge to Temecula Valley Pipeline during calendar month (MG)
J = Operational Rate per MG (Average annual operational costs for Palomar Booster divided by flows processed thru respective facility)
M = Operational Rate per MG (Average annual operational costs for Dissipater Facility divided by flows processed thru respective facility)
K = RCWD monthly proportionate share of Operational costs
5. Temecula Valley Pipeline/Palomar Booster Maintenance Costs. As needed, it may be necessary to do preventative maintenance and/or repair on the Temecula Valley Pipeline and Palomar Booster Station system. These cost estimates shall be identified and shared proportionately by all parties based on the purchased capacity. Such costs shall be separated from the normal operating costs and a full detail of the final costs be included in the billing. Such work shall have been preapproved by the parties prior to beginning work unless the work being done is considered to be an emergency. In this case, each party will be notified within 48 hours of the nature of the emergency and potential costs.
6. Reporting Requirements. In order to calculate the amounts due for commodity charges and O&M costs, each party shall be responsible for providing the following information on a monthly basis to the other Parties of this Agreement to be used in the annual calculation: a. RCWD shall report recycled water flows from the Santa Rosa WRF into the Temecula Valley Pipeline. RCWD shall also report all recycled water deliveries received from EMWD.

ORDINANCE NO. 225
AN ORDINANCE OF THE ELSINORE VALLEY MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT OF RIVERSIDE COUNTY UPDATING AND RESTATING THE DISTRICT’S WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLAN / WATER CONSERVATION PROGRAM
WHEREAS, California Constitution article X, section 2, and California Water Code section 100 provide that, because of conditions prevailing in the State of California (“State”), it is the declared policy of the State that the general welfare requires that the water resources of the State shall be put to beneficial use to the fullest extent of which they are capable; the waste or unreasonable use of water shall be prevented; and the conservation of such waters is to be exercised with a view to the reasonable and beneficial use thereof in the interest of the people and the public welfare; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to California Water Code section 106, it is the declared policy of the State that the use of water for domestic use is the highest use of water and that the next highest use is for irrigation; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to California Water Code section 375 et seq., the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (“District”), by ordinance or resolution, is authorized to adopt and enforce a Water Conservation Program to reduce the quantity of water used by persons within its jurisdiction for the purpose of conserving the water supplies of the District; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to California Water Code section 10610 et seq., the District is required to include a water shortage contingency analysis establishing various stages of action to be implemented in cases of water supply shortage, known as a Water Shortage Contingency Plan, as part of the District’s Urban Water Management Plan; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to California Water Code section 71610.5, the District may undertake a water conservation program to reduce water use and may require, as a condition of new service, that reasonable water-saving devices and water reclamation devices be installed to reduce water use; and 2 O-225 WHEREAS, pursuant to California Water Code section 71640 et seq., the District may restrict the use of District water during any emergency caused by drought, or other threatened or existing water shortage, and may prohibit the waste of District water or the use of District water during such periods for any purpose other than those that the District determines to be necessary. The District may also prohibit use of District water during such periods for specific uses which it finds to be nonessential.
WHEREAS the District’s Board of Directors recognizes continued long term challenges to the region and the State. Climate change impacts are predicted to increase the uncertainty of water supplies. Additionally, regulatory restrictions on pumping from the Bay-Delta region affecting State Water Project (“SWP”) deliveries will continue to impact the District's supply reliability. Further, the District is dependent on the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (“Metropolitan”) for its imported water supplies and is subject to the policy actions pertaining to water supply set by Metropolitan’s governing body. The District relies heavily on SWP supplies, obtaining approximately up to 70 percent of its total supply through imported water sources from Metropolitan; and
WHEREAS, Metropolitan has adopted a Water Shortage Allocation Plan and has declared a regional supply shortage reduction of fifteen percent (15%) which will be in effect on July 1, 2015; and
WHEREAS, because of the prevailing conditions in the State and the declared policy of the State that the District manage its water resources for the general welfare to ensure their beneficial use to the fullest extent of which they are capable, the District hereby finds and determines that it is necessary and appropriate for the District to adopt, implement, and enforce an updated Water Shortage Contingency Plan / Water Conservation Program (together, the “WSCP”) to reduce the quantity of water used by consumers within the District to ensure that there is sufficient water for human consumption, sanitation, and fire protection; and
WHEREAS, the Governor, on April 1, 2015 issued Executive Order B-29- 15 that, in part, directed the State Water Resources Control Board (“SWRCB”) to O-225 3 impose restrictions on water suppliers to achieve a statewide 25 percent (25%) reduction in potable urban usage through February 2016. The Executive Order includes, but is not limited to, the following: (1) commercial, industrial, and institutional water users shall implement water efficiency measures; (2) prohibits irrigation with potable water of ornamental turf in public street medians; and (3) prohibits irrigation with potable water of landscapes outside of newly constructed homes and buildings in a manner inconsistent with regulations or other requirements established by the California Building Standards Commission and the Department of Housing and Community Development; and
WHEREAS, the SWRCB, on May 5, 2015 mandated that urban water suppliers whose average July-September 2014 Residential Gallons Per Capita Per Day (“R-GPCD") was 130 or more but less than 170 shall reduce its total potable water production by twenty-eight percent (28%) for each month as compared to the amount of use in the same month in 2013; and
WHEREAS, the District’s average R-GPCD was 146.3 for July-September 2014; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors hereby finds and determines that in the event the District determines that it is necessary to declare that a Water Shortage Emergency exists, the District will be authorized pursuant to this Ordinance to implement supply shortage response measures to regulate water consumption activities within the District and ensure that the water delivered in the District is put to beneficial use for the greatest public benefit, with particular regard to domestic use, including human consumption, sanitation, and fire protection, and that the waste or unreasonable use of water is prevented; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is authorized and hereby finds and determines that it is necessary to prescribe and define by ordinance restrictions, prohibitions, and exclusions for the use of water during a threatened or existing water shortage and adopt and enforce a WSCP to: (i) prohibit the waste of District water or the use of District water during such period; (ii) prohibit use of water during such periods for specific uses which the District may from time to 4 O-225 time find nonessential; and (iii) reduce and restrict the quantity of water used by persons within the District; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors hereby finds and determines that the District shall: (i) implement water supply shortage response measures; (ii) regulate the water consumption activities of persons within the District for the purposes of conserving and protecting the District’s water supplies, reducing the quantity of water consumed, and deterring and preventing the waste or unreasonable use or unreasonable method of use of valuable water resources; and (iii) establish and collect regulatory fees and impose fines and/or penalties as set forth herein to accomplish these purposes and recover the costs of the District’s water conservation and regulatory program; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors hereby finds and determines that it is desirable to adopt this WSCP in order to codify the rules and regulations governing its actions, and the actions of persons using and consuming water within the District, particularly during declared water shortages and water shortage emergencies, to protect the general welfare and the District’s water supplies, and to reduce water consumption, all in accordance with the declared policies and laws of the State; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors hereby further finds and determines that this Ordinance and the WSCP set forth herein are in the public interest and serve the public purpose of the District; and
WHEREAS, at a public hearing held on May 28, 2015, the Board heard and considered all oral testimony, written materials, and written protests concerning the establishment of and imposition of the proposed WSCP; and
WHEREAS, due to the fiscal impacts referenced above, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the District to adopt the proposed WSCP identified herein and as more particularly described and set forth herein; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of Directors of the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District of Riverside County as follows:

Section 6. Stage 1 – Water Supply Watch
(A) Stage 1 applies during periods when the District is able to meet all of the water demands of its Customers. Stage 1 and the permanent prohibitions set forth herein shall be in effect at all times unless the Board of Directors otherwise declares that another stage is in effect pursuant to this Ordinance and such stage establishes more stringent prohibitions on the use of water during the particular stage.
Under Stage 1, Customers are encouraged to use water efficiently and take advantage of the District’s water use efficiency programs. Stage 1 also mandates the implementation of several permanent water waste prohibitions, even when there is no foreseeable threat of a water shortage. Water waste is in violation of California Law at any stage. California's water law and policy, Article X, Section 2 of the California Constitution, requires that all uses of the State's water be both reasonable and beneficial and places a significant limitation on water rights by prohibiting the waste, unreasonable use, unreasonable method of use, or unreasonable method of diversion of water. The permanent prohibitions shall be continually in effect at all levels of water shortage declarations in addition to the requirements specific to each level. All normal water efficiency programs and water conservation regulations of the District will be in full force and effect during Stage 1. The permanent shortage response measures include:
(1) All irrigators shall ensure automatic irrigation timers are adjusted according to changing weather patterns and landscape requirements.
(2) All open hoses shall be equipped with automatic, positive shut-off nozzles.
(3) Watering of lawns and/or groundcovers and irrigating landscaping is permitted only between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.

Subject: Drought Surcharge Study Report
Dear Ms. Armstrong,
Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc. (RFC) is pleased to provide this Drought Surcharge Study Memorandum Report (Report) for Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (District).
The major objectives of the Drought Surcharge Study include the following:
1. Develop Drought Surcharges for the District to implement during times of water supply shortages, as identified in the District’s drought ordinance 2. Develop an approach for estimating customer conservation and usage at various stages of shortage 3. Identify the net revenue impact of water sales reduction with consideration to unrecovered fixed costs and avoided water supply costs 4. Calculate Drought Surcharges for all users, for the three stages (nine sub-stages) of drought that require mandatory restrictions
This Report summarizes the methodology, estimations, and recommendations related to the development of Drought Surcharges for the District.
It has been a pleasure working with you, and we thank you for the support provided during the course of this study.
Sincerely,
RAFTELIS FINANCIAL CONSULTANTS, INC.

Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
The District provides water service to a population of approximately 120,000, comprised of approximately 41,500 residential, commercial, irrigation, and commercial accounts. The District is a member agency of Western Municipal Water District (Western), who in turn is a member agency of Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD). The District receives water from five sources in the following order by volume (descending): imported water from MWD via Western, local Elsinore Basin groundwater well production, Canyon Lake surface water, Back Basin Groundwater Storage Project water, and imported water via Temescal Valley Pipeline.
On July 16, 2014, the District Board declared a Stage 2 water supply shortage1 as water supplies continued to be reduced during the third year of California's historic drought. On May 28, 2015, the District Board declared a Stage 4a water supply shortage, owing the heightened stage to the continuation and intensification of a drought now in its fourth year. Three of the District’s five2 drought stages include three sub-stages, noted as a-b-c. Stage 4a calls for a mandatory 25% reduction in District-wide water use. In addition to the District’s declarations, on April 1, 2015, Governor Brown issued Executive Order (EO) B- 29-15 directing the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) to work with water service providers to reduce urban potable use by 25% statewide.3
1.2 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The District engaged RFC to develop Drought Surcharges to facilitate reductions in consumption for each of the nine (9) mandatory drought sub-stages (Stages 3a through 5c). This Study only includes Drought Surcharges for the Elsinore Water Division.4 The Temescal Water Division is not included in this analysis. This report documents the key assumptions involved in the development of the Drought Surcharges, an overview of the use reduction methodology, corresponding revenue impacts, Drought Surcharge calculations, and summary of proposed surcharges. This Study Report should be read in conjunction with the Water and Recycled Water Rate Study Report dated July 2, 2015.
Throughout the course of the engagement, RFC worked with management to develop several Drought Surcharge structure options. The selected option was presented before the District Board on May 20, 2015. The surcharges presented to the Board, found within this Report in Table 4-1, represent a revenue neutral cost recovery mechanism to achieve the overall consumption reduction for each drought stage, while maintaining revenue sufficiency. The Drought Surcharges assume percentage reductions in

consumption, by customer class, by block, and by stage, to achieve overall consumption reductions required at each drought stage. The resultant surcharges are calculated as percentage values relative to respective base, or “non-drought” rates. Lastly, as a point of clarification, Drought Surcharges are charged in addition to base commodity rates.
2. ASSUMPTIONS
The Drought Surcharges presented in this report are based on the District’s proposed FY 2016 rates found in the Water and Recycled Water Rate Study Report of July 2, 2015. Proposed commodity rates are presented in Table 2-1.5 All tables in this report relating to commodity rates, water sales and the overall calculation of drought surcharges use FY 20166 values. That is, all tables whether explicitly stated or not refer to FY 2016.7 The commodity rates are comprised of various cost components, including: water supply, delivery, peaking, conservation, recycled water, and revenue offsets. Water supply costs represent a purely variable cost. The other cost components recover fixed costs through the variable commodity rate. Cost components and corresponding values are presented in Table 2-2.

5 Several tables in this report combine the Commercial and Institutional classes in to one classification as they have the same commodity rates and Drought Surcharges. Additionally, Irrigation customers do not receive an allotment for indoor use as it is defined as for essential, indoor household requirements. 6 Fiscal Year 2016 runs from July 1,2015 through June 30, 2016. 7 Revenue requirements and proposed rates used in this analysis are from the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District Rate Study Report dated July 2, 2015.

District drought stages range from Stage 1 to Stage 5. Stages 3 to 5 are comprised of three sub-stages, with consumption reductions in 5 percent increments. Stage 3a (10 percent mandatory reduction) to Stage 5c (50 percent mandatory reduction) represent the nine sub-stages included in this study. Drought Surcharges for reductions less than 10 percent (voluntary reductions) are excluded from this analysis. A summary of District drought stages is presented in Table 2-3.

2.1 REVENUE REQUIREMENTS
The baseline for the Drought Surcharges is the projected FY 2016 demand and corresponding rates to determine the non-drought revenue requirements. Table 2-4 shows the baseline revenue requirement and corresponding base demand.

Revenue requirements are modified for each stage to account for avoided costs from reduced water purchases (a variable cost). Avoided costs consist of the variable cost component (water supply) for each classes’- and blocks’- commodity rate multiplied by the reduced sales (in ccf) in the stage. Table 2-5 details the avoided supply costs by stage. The effect of reducing water supply costs is to reduce the revenue requirement in each stage.

However, reduced water sales generate unrecoverable fixed costs which include the costs associated with delivery, peaking, conservation, recycled water, and revenue offsets. Table 2-2 identifies the various cost components that makeup the individual commodity rates. All cost components, less water supply, are incurred irrespective of water sales and are therefore unavoidable. The reduction in sales units (ccf) multiplied by the unavoidable cost represents the revenue impact for each block and/or class. The net revenue impact to the District in each stage is then the sum of all unrecoverable costs across every class and block. Table 2-6 summarizes the calculation for the Residential class and uses Stage 3a as an example. Table 2-7 summarizes the net revenue impacts at each stage.

2.2 CONSUMPTION
Table 2-10 below shows the forecast (projected) consumption for FY 2016. The majority of use is attributable to Residential users, with Irrigation secondary. The balance of consumption is comprised of Commercial, Industrial, Construction (Hydrant), and Inter-Agency demand. The consumption levels indicated below correspond with a typical non-water shortage year for the District. Consequently, these usage levels by customer class serve as a baseline for the consumption assumptions and revenue requirement used in each water shortage stage.

Customer Class Base Usage (ccf)
Residential Indoor Use 4,568,250 Efficient Outdoor Use 2,808,746 Inefficient Use 317,672 Excessive Use 600,178 Irrigation Efficient Outdoor Use 1,292,809 Inefficient Use 192,767 Excessive Use 417,621 Others (Non-Water Budget) Commercial 520,496 Institutional 71,751 Hydrant 115,529 Inter-Agency Block 1 107,926 Block 2 25,026 Block 3 12,944 Total Demand/Revenue 11,051,716
Stage 4a, for example, requires an overall reduction of 25 percent. Table 2-11 indicates the assumed adjustment (targeted reductions) required to achieve Stage 4a usage reductions, as well as the estimated usage once those reductions have been achieved. The method to achieve target reduction is to reduce use in the upper blocks of water budget customers first. Since the purpose of water budgets are to identify allocations for efficient use for different customer classes, we can reasonably assume that in times of shortage inefficient and wasteful usage of water should and will be reduced first. In the District’s case, this represents excessive use by Residential and Irrigation customers. Once all excessive use is reduced to zero, we reduce inefficient use to such a degree that we achieve the system wide reduction target of 25 percent in the case of stage 4a. This reduction logic continues “downward” through the blocks as the drought stages, and necessary reductions, increase.

There are several items to note regarding the estimated Stage 4a usage in Table 2-11. First, no reduction in indoor use (for Residential accounts) was assumed, as indoor use is to meet essential needs for health and sanitation.
Second, a 45 percent reduction in Efficient Outdoor Use (for efficient outdoor irrigation) for Residential and Irrigation customers is required as there is no longer enough use to be reduced in the inefficient and excessive use blocks after adjustment to meet the system-wide 25 percent reduction (see Table 2-12). Efficient Outdoor Use is reduced in the highest drought stage, 5c, to zero use to achieve the system-wide target of 50 percent.
Third, no reduction is assumed for uniform customers other than hydrant (construction) use as these classes are heterogeneous- making it difficult to estimate efficient use and therefore reductions. Additionally, uniform rate customers’ use as a whole is minimal (6.4%) relative to District-wide consumption. Hydrant and Inter-Agency use is reduced in the higher stages. See tables in Section 5 for these reductions, by stage. Considering the method above, the remaining classes and blocks must decrease their usage at an average reduction greater than 25 percent to achieve the overall 25 percent reduction target.
The consumption forecast for each of the remaining drought stages is determined using the same logic.

3. DROUGHT SURCHARGE DESIGN
3.1 EXISTING NON-DROUGHT COMMODITY RATES
As mentioned above, the basis for the drought surcharge design is the projected revenue requirements for FY 2016. Table 3-1 indicates the proposed FY 2016 commodity rates. The current rate structure includes water budgets for Residential and Irrigation accounts, an inclining three-block rate structure for Inter-Agency sales, and uniform commodity rates for all other classes.
3.1.1 Water Budget Definitions Water budgets allot water in discrete blocks to users based on defined needs, namely indoor and outdoor use. Residential customers are allotted indoor use (termed Indoor Use by the District) based upon household density, days of service, and targeted per capita use of 55 gallons per day (gpcd). This allotment is sufficient to meet household demand at efficient usage levels and is referred to as an Indoor Water Budget (IWB). Efficient Outdoor Use is allotted based upon the irrigable area (or landscape area) of a home or Irrigation account, and represents the amount of water required to keep landscapes healthy. This efficient amount of water for irrigation is referred to as an Outdoor Water Budget (OWB). Inefficient Use is defined as anything greater than the Total Water Budget (TWB), which is the IWB+OWB. Customers receive an allotment equal to 30% of their OWB in the Inefficient Use block. The next block is Excessive Use which is all usage in excess of Inefficient Use. Water Budgets function much the same as traditional Inclining Block Rates, with the difference being that in a water budget structure the block widths (or thresholds) are customized for each user, while the price within the block remains the same for all. Please

Consumption is billed by block or by uniform rate, depending upon the customer class. For example, Residential customers are billed at $2.25/ccf for Indoor Use (IWB), $2.75 for Efficient Outdoor Use (OWB), $4.34 for Inefficient Use, and $6.26 for Excessive Use. Table 3-1 includes proposed FY 2016 rates for all customer classes (same as Table 2-1). See the Water and Recycled Water Rate Study dated July 2, 2015 for a basis upon which these rates were calculated.

3.2 WATER SHORTAGE RATE CALCULATIONS AND PROPOSED RATES
Of the District’s 5 drought stages, the proposed surcharges are for those stages in which consumption reduction is considered mandatory (i.e., Stages 3a through 5c) and are adjusted upward with each stage to reflect the severity of the water shortage and achieve the desired reduction in consumption. The option proposed and presented to the District Board is revenue neutral and recovers costs associated with the drought and the reduction in revenues due to projected reductions in consumption during identified drought stages. That is, the drought surcharges for each stage recover the FY 2016 stage-adjusted revenue requirement, and account for variable cost savings.
Drought Surcharge Study Report | 17
3.2.1 Drought Surcharges Calculation
The Drought Surcharge calculations involve the following steps: first, we define the baseline (non-water shortage) consumption as 11.05 million ccf with a commodity revenue requirement of $33.19 million. Again, these requirements are based upon projected FY 2016 demand and proposed FY 2016 commodity rates.
Second, we apply, by customer class and block, the percentage reductions in consumption required to achieve the overall reduction. These percentages are based on discussions with District Management, the characteristics of the District’s existing rate structure, and our experience with similar studies of this nature. The adjusted, or stage usage, is thus determined to estimate District-wide water sales at a given stage. Note that no reductions are assumed for Indoor Use (Indoor Water Budget) at any stage, and reductions in Efficient Outdoor Use (Outdoor Water Budget) begin at Stage 3b (5 percent) and escalate to 100 percent at the highest stage (5c). Said differently, in Stage 5c there is no outdoor water use.
Third, we calculate drought surcharges based on the FY 2016 revenue requirements (adjusted for incremental water purchase savings) and reduced usage (25 percent in the case of Stage 4a). This calculation is performed by determining the “across-the-board” percentage increase in the existing commodity rates required to recover the drought costs (net revenue impact) and distributing the percentage increase across all base rates. Therefore the surcharges represent a uniform percentage increase (or percentage amount) to the non-drought rates.
This methodology ensures that the Drought Surcharges reflect revenue recovery consistent with cost of service principles, given that the baseline (non-drought) commodity rates are cost of service based rates. Additionally, a percentage increase, rather than a uniform dollar surcharge, maintains the integrity of the block and budget-based rate structures, allowing a price signal to achieve desired conservation and proportionally allocate the costs of service.
Table 3-2 indicates the detailed calculations for Water Shortage Stage 4a. Table 3-2 is separated into two tables to accommodate the number of columns required in the calculation. The table should be read from left to right, with the second half representing the columns to the right of the last column of the first half. Calculations for all other Stages 3a-5c are included in Appendix A.

4. PROPOSED DROUGHT SURCHARGES
The methodology and calculation in the preceding sub-section was performed for Stages 3a-5c to produce the surcharges indicated in Table 4-1 below. Note that the surcharges indicated are additional to the base commodity rates (also shown in Table 4-1) and there is no surcharge on the fixed portion of a customer’s bill
The Drought Surcharges calculated in Table 3-2 are found in the column titled 4a below. In Stage 4a, Indoor Use has a Drought Surcharge of $0.71 while Excessive Use has a surcharge of $1.98, nearly three times higher, since the surcharge is relative to the base rate. Efficient Outdoor Use is charged an additional $0.86/ccf for Residential customers and $0.89/ccf for Irrigation customers.
