' RE : AGENDA ITEM NO. 4 NOTE TO DISTRICT 5 DIRECTORS: RE: ORDINANCE NO. 511 IMPLEMENTING SEWER SERVICE CHARGES At the staff's request, the General Counsel is revising the attached ordinance draft to clarify the provisions for adjustments to charges for significant differences in actual volume versus expected volume based on meter size, and the appeals procedures, as provided for in Section 5. Commercial and industrial dischargers permitted under existing Ordinance No. 508 are monitored by our Industrial Waste Division and billed quarterly based upon the actual volume and loading of sewage discharged into the system. They are allowed a credit against the total charge for taxes paid. Therefore, a section will be added to Ordinance No. 511 to allow any sewer service charges paid on the tax bill to be included in the credit against the total fees billed under Ordinance No. 508. The revised wording for the above changes will be available for review by the Board at Wednesday's meeting. The attached draft ordinance has been distributed to District Directors only. 1st DRAFT ORDINANCE NO. 511 AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT NO. 5 ESTABLISHING SANITARY SEWER SERVICE CHARGES The Board of Directors of County Sanitation District No. 5 of Orange County, California, does hereby ORDAIN as follows: Section 1: Purpose.

CALIFORNIA P.O.BOX8127 10844 ELLIS AVENUE FOUNTAIN VALLEY. CALIFORNIA 92708 (714) 540-2910 (714) 962·2411 Welcome. This presentation is brought to you by the Orange County Sanitation Districts. Our organization--which is made up of 7 separate districts serves an area of some two million people. We have the responsibility of collecting, treating and disposing of more than 215 million gallons of sewage a day. In this presentation we'd like to tell you about the proposed sewer use fee that would be added to your property tax bill this fall. We hope this presentation answers many questions you may have on this new fee. We feel that the fairest way to apply this fee is to base it on the size of your water meter. We believe the volume of water going into a property can be used to judge the volume of water flowing from the property as sewage. Almost 94 percent of all properties in District 5 have a meter size of one inch or less. Because of current reserves, the sewer use fee will be less this year than in the following four years. As you can see by this chart, the charge for a one inch or less meter connection for the 1981-82 property tax year will be equivalent to two dollars and twenty cents a month, or twenty-six dollars and forty cents for the year. SLIDE 6 SLIDE 7 SLIDE 8 SLIDE 9 SLIDE 10 SLIDE 11 SLIDE 12 2. For the following four years, for the one-inch or smaller meter, the fee is projected to be three dollars and ninety cents a month or forty-six dollars and eighty cents a year, dependent upon federal regulations and inflaction factors. This additional fee is in no way related to the sewer service charge you pay for on your monthly water bill. That charge is for maintenance and operation of the City sewer system--which is connected to the Sanitation Districts' trunk sewer system. The District 5 use fee will be used for operation and rehabilitation of District sewer facilities. But why a sewer use fee for District 5? Because of insufficient revenues, District 5, shown here, is becoming increasing unable to finance operation, maintenance and rehabilitation costs of its sewer system to comply with State and Federal regulations for public health and protection of the environment. The green area, shown here, traces the network of existing pumping stations, which appear as triangles, and interceptor sewers, which appear as lines. Pumping stations lift sewage from low areas to a higher level in regions such as District 5 where gravity flow is not possible. Because of rising energy costs, operating cost of these pumping stations are continua~ly rising. That means that the amount of electrical energy you consume in your home in a month, is consumed by the average pump station in a day. Energy costs are currently consuming twenty-eight percent of the sewer operating expense in District 5. .. SLIDE 13 SLIDE 14 SLIDE 15 SLIDE 16 SLIDE 17 SLIDE 18 SLIDE 19 3 . Additional funding is also required to cover the cost of rehabilitation projects (shown here in red) currently underway in District 5. Over the next five years a total of ten projects involving the renovation of pumping stations and sewer lines will be completed --at a cost of seven million, seven thousand dollars (at today's costs). Aside from rehabilitating our sewer syste, these improvements are needed to comply with State and Federal requirements for public health ••• ••• and to meet the ever more stringent environmental regulations that protect Newport Bay. To insure this protection --we have to impose this use fee. But why does District 5 lack funds? In order to gain a clear perspective of our District's financial condition, it's important to understand a little about the organizational structure of the Orange County Sanitation Districts. Our Sanitation Districts were formed in 1947. While each District collects its own sewage and manages its own finances, all seven districts jointly own and operate sewerage processing and disposal facilities thereby significantly reducing costs. Briefly, our joint processing involves the operation of two plants. The first, in Fountain Valley, provides both primary and secondary treatment facilities for the processing of up to sixty million gallons of wastewater a day. SLIDE 20 SLIDE 21 SLIDE 22 SLIDE 23 SLIDE 24 SLIDE 25 SLIDE 26 SLIDE 27 4. Our second plant, located in Huntington Beach at the mouth of the Santa Ana River, is treating up to one.hundred and fifty-five million gallons of wastewater a day using primary treatment techniques. Currently under construction at this facility is a seventy-five million gallon a day advanced treatment facility scheduled for completion in mid-1982. This eighty-nine million dollar facility is being added to comply with State and Federal regulations. While the Districts are united for economic sewage processing and disposal, each is still a very separate entity --and must meet its own expenses. This means that each District must pay for its share of the sewage treatment plant operations. This share of the cost is based on the diversion structure, where sewer lines for all seven districts converge. Finances for each District differ, depending upon the region served, the size of the region, the condition of its trunk sewers, its' elevation above sea level and other factors. Now that you have a little background on our collective, yet individual Sanitation Districts we can answer the question, "Why does District 5 lack funds?" First of all we aren't alone in our needs. Here is a partial list of other California areas having a similar sewer use fee program. The answer to the question of why we lack funds is three-fold. First, the effects of inflation. Second, the effects of Proposition 13 on District 5. And third, District S's geographic location. SLIDE 28 SLIDE 29 SLIDE 30 SLIDE 31 5. Here's a graphic illustration of what happened after the passage of Proposition 13. As you can see by this graph, our expected 1978-79 revenue was about one million, seven hundred and seventy thousand dollars. However, because of Proposition 13, revenue amounted to only six hundred and seventy thousand dollars which is a reduction of over sixty percent .•... a situation that still exists today. Up until this year, the Orange County Sanitation Districts and the Board of Directors of District 5 were able to forstall the need for any additional fee. Our reserve funds have allowed us to postpone the fee until now. And even now we have enough in reserve to keep the use fee at a minimum for the 1981-82 fiscal year. Without any use fee, as this graph indicates, District 5 would plunge rapidly into a deficit condition by the end of 1982-83 fiscal year. By the 1985-86 fiscal year, for example, total expenditures would be a forecasted four million, two hundred thousand dollars, while revenues and reserves would amount to only two million, two hundred thousand dollars. We simply cannot operate with such a deficit. In contrast, with the proposed use fee, there will be enough money to pay for operating and maintaining our system over the next five years. Looking at this graph, you can see how money allocated for rehabilita- tion will be greater than for operating expenses from now through the 1983-84 fiscal year --when much of the major work will be completed. Money for operating however, will be steadily increased over the next five years in anticipation of continuing inflation and operating costs of federally mandated higher levels of treatment. SLIDE 32 SLIDE 33 SLIDE 34 SLIDE 35 SLIDE 36 SLIDE 37 SLIDE 38 SLIDE 39 6. Our District is unique in many wonderful ways --but some of the reasons why it is unique also, unfortunately, add to our costs for sewer maintenance and sewage pumping. First of all, we are located at sea level. And, while· Newport wouldn't be Newport without the Bay and Harbor, our low elevation means high sewage pumping costs. And second, while we love our saltwater communities, that same saltwater plays havoc with our sewer system --attacking and weakening our system. Seawater intrusion tends to corrode sewer pipes. Two examples of this have occurred in the past three years, one as recently as last March when a sewer break resulted in the closing of Newport Harbor. The site of this highly publicized break· was on Pacific Coast Highway, directly across from the Balboa Bay Club. Orange County Sanitation Districts employees responded quickly even though the break occurred on a Saturday and they were able to divert the flow, excavate and repair the sewer in just thirty hours. But until repairs could be completed, there was no choice but ot discharge directly into Newport Harbor, through the storm sewer system. Some six million gallons of sewage flowed into the Bay, forcing the Health Department to quarantine the Harbor. Obviously, District S's sewer system must be maintained and rehabilitated. Without proper funding the increased frequency of pipe rupture is a certainty. SLIDE 40 SLIDE 41 SLIDE 42 SLIDE 43 SLIDE 44 SLIDE 45 SLIDE 46 SLIDE 47 7. We have been asked if the funds collected from the fees would be used to expand the system to accommodate growth of the area. We want to make it very clear that the sewage use fee will· not be used for the construction of growth inducing facilities. The sewer use fee will go exclusively toward maintaining and rehabilitating our present sewer system --not toward an increased capacity system. Any expansion of the system will be paid for by private developers and not by the use fee. In summary, we propose a sewer use fee. It will appear as a separate item on your property tax bill this fall. It will be based on the size of your water meter. The charge for almost ninety-four percent of all properties the first year will be equivalent to two dollars and twenty cents per month, or twenty-six dollars and forty cents for this year.? In future years we expect the fee to be equal to three dollars and ninety cents a· month, or forty-six dollars and. eighty cents· -a year.. The sewer use fee is needed because District 5 is no longer able .to finance the operating, maintenance and rehabiritation costs of its present sewer system w.±th current revenues. The reason is because of a decrease in funds, resulti~g from Proposition 13. An increase in operating expenses because of inflation • ... and the higher pumping costs of District 5. Higher operating costs of federally mandated advanced treatment processes. / SLIDE 48 SLIDE 49 SLIDE 50 SLIDE 51 8. Along with higher maintenance costs because of our saltwater location. Most important --the improvements resulting from this sewer use fee will go a long way toward maintaining the high standard of public health in our community ..• ••• and in providing necessary protection for our coastal environment. If you have any· additional questions, we have a panel of Technical experts here to help. Thank you for your interest. FINAL COPY DIRECT MAIL PIECE YOUR SEWER SYSTEM IS IN FINANCIAL JEOPA'RDY WE HAVE TO CHARGE A SEWER USE FEE TO SOLVE THE ·PROBLEM HERE'S WHY --AND HOW MUCH We are sending you this mailer because you own property located in District 5 of the County Sanitation Districts. Through its system of large trunk sewers, District 5 transports sewage collected by the City of Newport Beach's network of street sewers to the sewage treatment plants which are jointly owned and operated by the seven regional Sanitation Districts. The two treatment plants treat and dispose of nearly 215· million gallons of sewage daily. While the Districts are united to treat and dispose of sewage economically, each is a separate public entity, with its own trunk sewer collection system and its own revenue raising responsibility.

District 5 --your District -- faces some serious financial problems. CHART OF DISTRICT 5 PROJECTED REVENUES & EXPENDITURES -NO USE FEE CHART OF DISTRICT 5 EFFECTS OF PROP 13 SHOWING LOSS OF REVENUE Fortunately, we start with cash reserves. Unfortunately, those \wl reserves have allowed us to postpone additional fees only until 1981. That's why we're proposing a sewer use fee. 2. Because of current reserves, the fee will be less for the 1981-82 property tax year, and would be equal to $2·~ 20 ·a month C.$26,. 4Q pe~ year) for almost 94% of all sewer connected properties. For the following four years, the fee is estimated to equal $3.9Q a month ($46.80 per year), again for almost 94% of all properties affected. The charges for the remaining 6% are more because of higher sewage discha'.C"ge. To achieve equity, the fee is calculated on sewage volume based upon your water meter size. Most single family homes have meters that are 1-inch or less in size~ For economy, the fee will be collected on your property tax statement be·ginning with the 1981-82 bill.

Auditorium 870 Santa Barbara Drive Newport Beach PUBLIC-WORKSHOP NO. 2 June 16, 1981 Oasis Center, Room 1 Fifth and Marguerite Corona del Mar QUESTION #1 ANSWER QUESTION-:# 2 ANSWER QUESTION #3 ANSWER QUESTION #4 ANSWER QUESTION ·#S 'ANSWER QUESTION #6 ANSWER 3. How do I know what nIY fee will be and when will I pay it? Your annual fee has been printed above your name on the maili~g label on the reve·rse side of this hearing notice. To achieve equity, the fee is calculated on sew~ge volume based on your water meter size. The fee will appear on your 1981-82 tax bill. What can I do if I feel my calculated fee is incorrect? Complete the attached card and mail it to us. Be sure to include the assessor's parcel number which appears on your mailing label. What if I feel I should be exempt from the charge? If your property isn't connected to the city sewers, you are exempt. Simply complete and return the attached card and we'll contact you. I already have a charge for sewer service on my water bill. Why this charge? Your water bill re£lects a modest charge for the maintenance and operation of the City sewer system. The City's system connects to the Sanitation District 5 trunk sewer system. The District 5 use fee will be used £or operation and rehabilitation o·f the District facilities. Is this money to be used for expanding the system to accommodate more. growth? No. New sewe·r lines are funded by connection fees collected on new development. Why do you need the money? Since P!~l•itigg lJ., the District tax revenues have been cut by 60%. Rising maintenance costs and the QUESTION #7 ANSWER QUESTION #8 ANSWER QUESTION #9 ANSWER QUESTI"ON # .. 10 ANSWER 4. need for extensive rehabilitation of the existing system make this charge necessary to insure continued operation and reliability of the system. What do you mean by rehabilitation? The existing sewers indicated in red on the District map include six miles of older force mains which need to be relined in the next five years. Four pump stations must be revamped to insure reliability. District engineers estimate these costs to be $7.7 million (in today's dollars). Can District 5 borrow from another Sanitation District? No. Each District is a separate entity. The money belongs to the property owners of that District. Likewise, District 5 money cannot be used by any other District. When the rehabilitation program is over, will our use fee drop? It is doubtful. Because of inflation we project the operating costs will continue to climb due to high pumping (energy) costs and the mandated higher degree of treatment, as indicated on the graph. We hope we can maintain the projected $3.90 per month for the next few years. This .. ; of course, is dependent on many thi~gs --inflation, State and Federal requirements and other factors beyond our control. I tho~ght under Proposition 13 any increase in taxes had to be approved by the voters. The proposed use fee does not require a vote under Proposition 13. Federal Water Pollution Control r~gulations and State Health laws require certain public health standards be met. We really don't have a choice. The procedures bein~ followed by QUESTION #11 ANSWER QUESTION #12 ANSWER QUESTION-it'l.3 ANSWER s. the District to institute this fee are in accordance with the Health and Safety Code of the State of California. What other ways could you collect this money without putting the charge on the property tax bill? The District could establish a separate direct billing and collection system but this would add $5.29 to the currently proposed annual charge. What if the District does not implement a use charge? The District will have insufficient revenue fo~ sewer system rehabilitation and on-going operating costs to assure protection of ·the public health and safety and prevent more problems such as the recent sewer break in Pacific Coast Highway which polluted Newport Harbor. How do I get more information? We'll be holding four public workshops to explain the situation in full detail. We are making every effort to inform all the people of District 5 -~ at each workshop we'll have a slide presentation and District staff will be available to answer any additional questions you may have. The last scheduled meeting is the public hearing on July 1st. 6. POST CARD (OCSD LOGO) This property is not connected to the sewer.
