Midway City
Sanitary District GOVERNMENTAL STRUCTURE
Irvine Ra Water Dills The Orange County Sanitation District encompasses the Northern section of Orange County. The
Sanitation District provides wastewater treatment for an area of the County covering 479 square miles
Yorba D and serving a population of approximately 2.6 million, or 81 percent of the County's population. The
Water Da Sanitation District was originally incorporated in 1954 as nine separate public corporations, or
districts. In April of 1998, at the Sanitation District's request, the Board of Supervisors of the County
of Orange passed Resolution No. 98-140 ordering the consolidation of these nine County Sanitation
Districts into a new, single sanitation district, to be known as the Orange County Sanitation District,
effective July 1, 1998. This action was recommended to the Board by the Local Agency Formation
Commission in order to simplify governance structures, reduce the size of the Board, ease
administrative processes, streamline decision-making and consolidate accounting and auditing
processes. The boundaries of the nine previous districts had remained intact for the purpose of
Our Mission: To protect public health and the environment by
providing effective wastewater collection, treatment, and recycling.
collecting sewer user fees at the previously established rate schedules, and were referred to as nine
individual revenue areas through June 30, 2000. Effective July 1,2003, all Revenue Areas, except
Revenue Area 14, consolidated user fee rates and all enterprise fund accounting and budgeting activities
and are now known as the Consolidated Revenue Area.
The Sanitation District is managed by an administrative organization composed of directors appointed by
the agencies or cities which are serviced by the Sanitation District. Each of the two remaining Revenue
Areas, the Consolidated Revenue Area and Revenue Area 14, has its own budget and is responsible for
the construction and maintenance of its own collection system. All Revenue Areas, except Revenue Area
14 and the portion of the Consolidated Revenue Area previously known as Revenue Area 13, receive
their own share of the one-percent ad valorem property tax levy. In addition, all Revenue Areas except
Revenue Area 14, collect user fees from property owners. Revenue Area 14 receives all of its revenues
from service charges to the Irvine Ranch Water District.
The purpose of the Sanitation District's wastewater management program is to protect the public's health,
preserve the beneficial uses of the coastal waters, and maintain air quality. The objectives of operating
the treatment plants are to process and dispose of the treated wastewater and the separated solids in
accordance with Federal, state, and local laws including the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Sanitation District sewerage system includes approximately 570 miles of sewers that convey
wastewater generated within the Sanitation District's boundaries to the Sanitation District's two
wastewater treatment plants, Reclamation Plant No. 1 located in the City of Fountain Valley, and
Treatment Plant No.2located in the City of Huntington Beach.
Plants No. 1 and No. 2 have secondary treatment capacities of 182 million gallons per day(mgd)and 150
mgd, respectively. Both plants are master-planned for a future primary and secondary treatment capacity
of 235 mgd for a combined total of 470 mgd by the year 2070.
After wastewater receives secondary treatment at Plant No. 1, it flows to the Groundwater Water
Replenishment System (GWRS) at the Orange County Water District, located adjacent to the Sanitation
District, where it undergoes a state-of-the-art purification process consisting of microfiltralion, reverse
osmosis, and ultraviolet light with hydrogen peroxide. The product water is near-distilled quality.
Approximately 35 million gallons (132,500 cubic meters) per day of the GWRS water are pumped into
injection wells to create a seawater intrusion barrier. Another 65 million gallons (246,000 cubic meters)
are pumped daily to Orange County Water District's percolation basins in Anaheim where the GWRS
water naturally filters through sand and gravel to the deep aquifers of the groundwater basin.
Remaining outflows of treated wastewater from Plants 1 and 2 are combined and discharged to the
ocean off the Huntington Beach coast through an outfall pipe that is 120 inches in diameter and
approximately five miles long. The last mile of the ouffall pipe is a diffuser that dilutes the wastewater
with seawater in a ratio of 148 parts seawater to one part treated wastewater at an average depth of 185
feet.
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK
Chapman University's June 2016 Economic & Business Review forecasts that the real U.S. gross
domestic product will grow 2.1 percent in 2016 as compared to 2.4 percent in 2015. The declines
forecasted in consumer and investment spending growth overwhelm the relatively smaller positive effects
from government and international trade.
According to the California Employment Development Department (EDD), Orange County generated an
increase of approximately 2.5 percent in payroll jobs from August 2015 to August 2106. During this same
time period, unemployment in Orange County decreased to 4.4 percent from 4.6 percent while the
unemployment in California as a whole decreased to 5.6 percent from 6.1 percent. Chapman University's
June 2016 forecast also calls for Orange County's unemployment rate to decrease from to 4.0 percent by
the end of 2016. The county's economy is expected to add 40,600 payroll jobs in 2016, an increase of
2.6 percent.
According to Chapman University, residential permit valuation in the County is forecasted to decrease
from 11.2 percent growth in 2015 to 4.5 percent growth in 2016. Continued positive, albeit slower,growth
will bring residential valuation in 2016 above the$3 billion level for the first time ever.
Low mortgage rates and higher median family income coupled with a tight housing supply will keep
upward pressure on housing prices. Housing appreciation in Orange County is forecasted to increase
from 2.7 percent in 2015 to 4.6 percent in 2016. Since the beginning of the recession-recovery period,
the County's housing prices have increased 4.3 percent as compared with a decrease of 5.3 percent in
California and an increase of 5.8 percent in the nation. However, Chapman University further notes that
the current average price of$712,883 in Orange County compares to the significant lower average prices
of$465,187 in California and $217,600 in the U.S..
MAJOR INITIATIVES
Following are the District's current major initiatives as outlined in the General Manager's work plan for FY
2016-17:
1. Safety and Security
• Cyber Security—Address the top ten longer-term cyber security items/projects.

vulnerability and talent readiness assessments conducted during 2015-16 by implementing focused
job shadowing, job assignments, training and mentoring. Implement streamlined policies and
procedures to more quickly fill vacancies and ensure adequate staffing levels.
3. Resource Recovery
• Water Recycling — Execute a new agreement with Orange County Water District (OCWD) for the
ultimate expansion of the Groundwater Replenishment System. Work with OCWD to secure grant
funding and complete preliminary engineering and environmental work on the expanded facilities to
recycle effluent from OCSD's Treatment Plant No. 2.
• Research— Present findings and recommendations on Super Critical Water Oxidation to the Board of
Directors.
iii
• Monitoring Program — Evaluate the nature and frequency of all of OCSD's current environmental
monitoring for the protection of OCSD's collection system and treatment plants;water recycling; ocean
discharge;and biosolids recycling. Prepare a plan based on the future monitoring needs of OCSD.
4. Reliability

5. Operational Optimization
• Rates—Conduct planning studies including the Odor Control, Biosolids, and Facilities Master Plans to
develop updated 20 year cost projections. The outcomes of these studies will be used next fiscal year
to complete a rate study to determine the proper allocation of costs among user types and a
recommended future rate structure.
• OCSD Headquarters Building — Study site location options and make final site selection to begin
preparing environmental documentation to comply with CECA.
Strategic Planning
In December 2015, the Board of Directors approved the biennium update to the rolling five-year strategic
plan. This is a comprehensive strategic plan to steer OCSD's efforts and engage the organization to
envision service levels and operational needs for the next five years. This annual process begins with the
General Manager's Office initiating the planning effort with the Executive Management Team, and then
soliciting input and ideas from managers and supervisors. A draft of the updated five-year strategic plan
is then presented to the Board of Directors during a workshop, where Board Members discuss and
deliberate changes and additions to the plan.
Driven by our Mission, Vision and Core Values, the 2015 Strategic Plan update maintains the District's
aggressive efforts to meet the sanitation, health, and safety needs of the 2.6 million people being served
in a cost effective manner, while protecting the environment where we live.
Since implementation of the first comprehensive strategic plan in 2007, 40 strategic goals has been
established and completed. In December 2015, the District updated the Five-Year Strategic Plan and, as
part of the strategic planning process, reaffirmed the following goals:
• Completion of the Odor Control Master Plan;
• Development of Future Biosolids Management Options;
• Research new energy efficiency and conversion technologies;
• Complete the transfer of 174 miles of local sewers to a local agency;
• Determine partnerships, needs, strategies, benefits and costs associated with recycling of Plant
No.2 effluent water;and
• Workforce planning and development to ensure that the right people with the right skills and
abilities, are in the right place, at the right time.
iv
This Strategic Plan continues to chart a focused roadmap of success for the future of the Orange County
Sanitation District. It addresses critical operations and construction issues, financial and budgeting
challenges, and gives a clear and concise direction to staff, ratepayers, regulatory agencies, and the
general public.

ACCOUNTING AND BUDGETARY CONTROLS
The Sanitation District's accounting records are maintained on the accrual basis. In developing and
evaluating the Sanitation District's accounting system, consideration is given to the adequacy of internal
accounting controls. Internal accounting controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute,
assurance regarding: (1) the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition;
and (2)the reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability
for assets. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that: (1) the cost of a control should not
exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the evaluation of costs and benefits requires estimates
and judgments by management. We believe that the Sanitation District's internal accounting controls
v
adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of proper recording of financial
transactions.
Each year the Sanitation District's Board of Directors adopts an annual operating plan. A joint works
budget is first prepared that identifies the specific capital projects and operating activities to be
undertaken by the Sanitation District during the year. The budgetary level of control, the level at which
expenses cannot exceed budget, is exercised at the individual district, or fund level. The Sanitation
District has adopted a Uniform Purchasing Policy that identifies the agreed upon purchasing standards.
ACCUMULATED FUNDS AND RESERVES POLICY
The Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation District has established the following
Accumulated Funds and Reserves Policy:
Cash Flow Reserve: is established to fund operations, maintenance and certificates of participation
expenses for the first half of the fiscal year, prior to the receipt of the first installment of the property tax
allocation and the sewer service user fees which are collected as a separate line item on the property tax
bill. The level of this reserve will be established as the sum of an amount equal to six months operations
and maintenance expenses and the total of the annual debt (COP) service payments due in August each
year.
Operating Contingency Reserve: is established to provide for non-recurring expenditures that were not
anticipated when the annual budget and sewer service fees were considered and adopted. The level of
this reserve will be established at an amount equal to ten percent of the annual operating budget.
Capital Improvement Reserve: is established to fund annual increments of the capital improvement
program. The long-term target is for one half of the capital improvement program to be funded from
borrowing and for one half to be funded from current revenues and reserves. With this program in mind,
the target level of this reserve has been established at one half of the average annual capital
improvement program through the year 2020. Levels higher and lower than the target can be expected
while the long-term financing and capital improvement programs are being finalized.
Catastrophic Loss or Self-Insurance Reserves: are established for property damage including fire,
flood and earthquake; for general liability; and for workers' compensation. These reserves are intended
to work with purchased insurance policies, FEMA disaster reimbursements and State disaster
reimbursements. Based on the current infrastructure replacement value of$6.2 billion, the reserve level
has been set to fund the District's non-reimbursed costs, estimated to be$57 million.
Capital Replacement/Renewal Reserve Policy: is established to provide thirty percent of the funding to
replace or refurbish the current collection and treatment and disposal facilities at the end of their useful
economic lives. The current replacement value of these facilities is estimated to be $3.09 billion for the
collection facilities and $3.11 billion for the treatment and disposal facilities. The initial reserve level was
established at$50 million, which will be augmented by interest earnings and a small portion of the annual
sewer user fees in order to meet projected needs through the year 2030.
Debt Service Reserves: Provisions of the various Certificate of Participation (COP) issues require debt
service reserves to be under the control of the Trustee for that issue. These reserve funds are not
available for the general needs of the District and must be maintained at specified levels. The level of
required COP service reserves at June 30, 2016 was $25.0 million. In addition, the District's Debt
Service Reserve policy requires total debt service reserves to be ten percent of the total outstanding COP
debt, or$117 million at June 30,2016.
Accumulated funds exceeding the levels specified by District policy will be maintained in a rate
stabilization fund. These funds will be applied to future years' needs in order to maintain rates or to
moderate annual fluctuations. There is no established target for this reserve.
vi
As of June 30, 2016, the Sanitation District was in compliance with the Accumulated Funds and Reserves
Policy with designated cash and investments totaling $545 million, and have been earmarked for the
following specific purposes in accordance with the Sanitation District's reserve policy:
Designated Cash and Investments
Designated For Cash Flow Contingency $181 million
Designated For Self-Insurance 57 million
Designated For Capital Improvements 190 million
Designated For Debt Service Requirements 117 million
Total Designated Cash and Investments $ 545 million
CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT FOR EXCELLENCE
IN FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Government Finance Officers' Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the Orange County Sanitation District
for the Sanitation District's comprehensive annual financial report for the year ended June 30, 2015. This
was the twenty-first consecutive year that the Sanitation District has received this award. In order to be
awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a governmental unit must publish an easily readable and efficiently
organized comprehensive annual financial report, whose contents conform to program standards. Such
reports must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current
comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program
requirements and we are submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This report could not have been accomplished without the dedicated services of the Financial
Management Division staff, and I would like to especially express my appreciation to Line Hsiao,
Accounting Supervisor, who assisted in its preparation. I would also like to thank the Sanitation District's
Board of Directors, the General Manager, and the Director of Finance and Administrative Services for
their interest and support in conducting the financial operations of the Sanitation District in a responsible
and progressive manner.

Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Orange County Sanitation District (the
District)m of and for the year ended June 30,2016,and the related notes to the financial statements,which
collectively comprise the District's basic financial statements,as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America;this includes the
design,implementation,and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation
of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment
of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the District's preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances,but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District's internal
control.Accordingly,we express no such opinion.An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
Opinion
In oar opinion,the financial statements referred to above present fairly,in all material respects,the financial
position of the District,as of June 30, 2016,and the changes in its financial position and its cash flows for
the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the District implemented Governmental Accounting
Standards Board(GASB) Statement No.73,Accounting and Financial Reportingfor Pensions and Related
Assets That Are Not within the Scope of GASB Statement 68, and Amendments to Certain Provisions of
GASB Statements 67 and 68, effective July 1, 2015. The implementation of this Statement resulted in a
restatement of net position as of July 1, 2015, in the amount of$6,840,809. Our opinion is not modified
with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's
discussion and analysis, Schedule of Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability, Schedule of District
Contributions, Schedule of Net Pension Liability — Additional Retiree Benefit Plan, and Schedules of
Funding Progress,as listed in the table of contents,be presented to supplement the basic financial statements.
Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the GASB, who
considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an
appropriate operational,economic,or historical context.We have applied certain limited procedures to the
required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the
information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries,
the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial
statements.We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited

Management Discussion and Analysis
June 30,2016
This section of the financial statements of the Orange County Sanitation District (District) is
management's narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the District for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2016. The information presented here is to be considered in conjunction with additional
information provided within the letter of transmittal located in the Introductory Section of this report.
Financial Highlights
• As of June 30, 2016, the District's assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded its liabilities
and deferred inflows of resources by $1,918.6 million (net position). Of this amount, $489.3 million
represents unrestricted net position, which may be used to meet the District's ongoing obligations to
citizens and creditors.
• Total net position increased$156.7 million,or 8.9 percent over the prior year.
• Net Capital Assets, consisting of non-depreciable capital assets and depreciable capital assets net of
accumulated depreciation, increased $64.5 million, or 2.6 percent over the prior year.
• Net investment in capital assets increased $101.9 million, or 7.7 percent.
• Unrestricted Net Position increased $54.8 million,or 12.6 percent from the prior year.
• Total outstanding bonded debt decreased by$46.3 million over the prior year to$1.116 billion.
• The FY 2015-16 beginning net position of $1,755.0 million has been restated from the FY 2014-15
ending net position of $1,761.8 million due to the implementation of GASB Statements No. 73, and
the recognition of an additional net pension liability of$6.8 million as of June 30, 2015, restated.
Overview of the Basic Financial Statements
The District operates as a utility enterprise and presents its financial statements using the economic
resources measurement focus and the full accrual basis of accounting. As an enterprise fund, the
District's basic financial statements are comprised of two components: financial statements and notes to
the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the
basic financial statements themselves.
In accordance with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)Codification of Governmental
Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards, the District's financial statements include a Statement of
Net Position; Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position; and a Statement of Cash
Flows. The Statement of Net Position includes all of the District's assets, deferred outflow of resources,
liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources; and provides information about the nature and amounts of
investments in resources (assets) and the obligations to District creditors (liabilities). It also provides the
basis for computing the rate of return, evaluating the capital structure of the District, and assessing the
liquidity and financial flexibility of the District.
The Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position accounts for the current year's
revenues and expenses. This statement measures the success of the District's operations over the past
year and can be used to determine the District's creditworthiness. It also highlights the District's
dependency on property tax revenues in supplementing user fees and other charges for recovering total
cost.
The final required financial statement, the Statement of Cash Flows, reports cash receipts, cash
payments, and net changes in cash resulting from operations, investments, and financial activities of the
reporting period.
As indicated in Note 1 of the accompanying financial statements, the District implemented GASB
Statement No. 73 — Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions and Related Assets that are not
within the Scope of GASB Statement 68, and Amendments to Certain Provisions of GASB Statements 67
and 68 in its financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2016 that required the reporting of an
3
additional net pension liability of$6.8 million as of June 30, 2015 and the restatement of the District's net
position from$1,761.8 million to$1,755.0 million on this date.
Net Position
As previously noted, net position increased $156.7 million, or 8.9 percent over the net position for FY
2014-15, to$1,918.6 million in Fiscal Year 2015-16.

Total net position $ 1,918,572 $ 1,761,844 $ 156,728 8.9%
Current and other assets increased $5.7 million, or 0.9 percent, due primarily to net cash provided by
operations of $89.3 million, proceeds from property taxes of $84.5 million, receipt of capital facilities
rapacity charges of $15.6 million, contributions from other governments of $13.1 million, investment
income of $9.2 million, and other government repayments of $6.4 million offset by capital outlays of
$123.0 million, interest expense of$51.5 million, and bonded debt retirements of$37.5 million.
Net Capital assets increased $64.5 million, or 2.6 percent, due mostly to the ongoing capital improvement
program construction in progress additions of$153.4 million less depreciation of$90.5 million. Included
in total capital outlay additions is the Sludge Dewatering and Odor Control Project at Plant No. 1 and
Plant No. 2 with total project budgets of $172.0 million and $86.5 million, respectively. These projects
4
construct primary sludge thickening facilities to improve solids handling capacity, replace aging sludge
dewatering facilities, reduce biosolids handling and disposal, and rehabilitate obsolete solids handling
odor control equipment. In FY 2015-16, the District incurred project costs of$44.7 million at Plant No. 1
and $10.2 million and Plant No. 2 bringing the total cost-to-date to $152.1 million and $26.0 million,
respectively, with completion scheduled in FY 2017-18. Another solids handling project underway is the
Solids Thickening and Processing Upgrades at Plant No. 2. This project consists of the rehabilitation and
upgrades to the four existing dissolved air flotation thickeners (DAFTs) to treat the current activated
sludge plant solids as well as the additional solids that will be generated from the new secondary trickling
filter/solids contractor process. In FY 2015-16, $5.7 million of the total project budget of$51.2 million was
incurred bringing the cost-to-date to$46.8 million with completion scheduled in FY 2017-18.
One large collection system project, Newport Force Main Rehabilitation, with total project budget of$64.0
million, incurred outlays of$15.2 million in FY 2015-16. This project will rehabilitate approximately 28,000
feet of the Newport Force Main system located on Pacific Coast Highway in Newport Beach between the
Bitter Point Pump Station and Dover Drive. The force main system consists of two parallel,
interconnected pipelines, varying in size from 22 to 36 inches. More than half of the force main system
will be rehabilitated rather than replaced to minimize impacts to the community, businesses, tourism, and
the environment with completion scheduled for FY 2016-17. See page 8 for the Schedule of Capital
Assets and listing of other major capital additions for FY 2015-16.
Deferred Outflows of Resources increased $37.8 million, or 71.4 percent over the prior year primarily due
to pension investment earnings underperforming the actuarial valuation projection by $26.7 million and
the difference between the acquisition price of Certificates of Participation (COP) Series 2016A and
carrying amount of the retired debt, COP Series 2009A, in the amount of$14.9 million.
Deferred Inflows of Resources decreased $2.5 million, or 9.7 percent over the prior year is primarily due
to the decrease in pension expense resulting from the change in actuarial assumptions.
Net Investment in capital assets increased $101.9 million, or 7.7 percent over the prior year primarily as a
result of the net increase in capital assets of $64.5 million coupled with the $37.4 million decrease in
related debt. The net increase in capital assets consists mostly of the $153.4 million increase in
construction in progress offset by capital asset depreciation for the year of$90.5 million.
Unrestricted net position increased $54.8 million, or 12.6 percent due to the overall increase in net
position of$156.7 million offset by the increase in net investment in capital assets of$101.9 million.
Changes in Net Position
Net position increased $156.7 million in FY 2015-16, or 8.9 percent over the prior year.

(1)-The FY 2015-16 beginning net position of$1,755,003 million has been restated from the FY 2014-15 ending net position of
$1,761,844 million due to the implementation of GASS Statements No.73,and the recognition of an increase in net pension liability
of$6.8 million as of July 1,2015.
As previously stated, an enterprise fund is used to account for the operations of the District, which is
financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises. This allows the District to
determine that the costs (expenses, including depreciation and amortization) of providing wastewater
management services on a continuing basis are financed or recovered primarily through user charges.
Sewer service user fees are evaluated annually based primarily on budget requirements for total
operation and maintenance expenses and capital outlays for providing wastewater management services.
Property tax revenues are dedicated for the payment of debt service.
In FY 2015-16, operating revenues increased $13.0 million, or 4.3 percent over the prior year that is
reflective of a $16.2 million increase in service charges paid to the District from property owners. Of this
increase, $11.7 million, or 3.8 percent is reflective of the decrease in rebates to property owners. In FY
2015-16, $15.2 million was rebated to property owners as opposed to $26.9 million in FY 2014-15. This
increase from the decline in rebates made to property owners was supplemented by the 1.9 percent
increase in the average sewer user fee rate over the prior year.

The $13.6 million, or 14.4 percent increase in non-operating revenues primarily consists of a $4.6 million,
or 5.7 percent increase in property tax revenues, a $4.5 million, or 53.2 percent increase in contributions
from other governments, and a $4.4 million, or 91.1 percent increase in investment and interest income.
The increase in property tax revenue is primarily the result of the increase in total assessed valuation of
over the prior year of 6.2 percent over the prior year. The increase in contributions from other
governments is reflective of the increase in capital contributions from the Irvine Ranch Water District. The
increase in investment and interest income is attributable to higher yields earned on investments offset
somewhat by lower cash and investments balances. Yields earned on investments increased from a 0.8
percent in FY 2014-15 to a 1.7 percent in FY 2015-16 while cash and investment balances decreased
from $556.9 million at June 30, 2015 to$544.8 million at June 30, 2016.
Operating expense before depreciation and amortization increased $4.3 million or 2.9 percent over the
prior year. The majority of this increase is attributable to the $3.4 million, or 55.7 percent increase in
feasibility studies, a $3.1 million, or 61.4 percent in other operating expenses, and a $1.1 million, or 4.3
percent increase in contractual services that were somewhat offset by the 54.2 million, or 5.3 percent
decrease in salaries and benefits. Feasibility studies are done to determine the necessity and the
preferred designs of future potential construction projects. The increase in other operating expenses is
attributable to the negative adjustment in the Irvine Business Complex wastewater flows of $1.3 million
recorded in FY 2014-15 against the FY 2015-16 actual expenses of$255,000, and the increase to claims
and adjustments of $1.4 million. The increase in Contractual Service is attributable to the increase in
manhole rehabilitation projects, sewer line cleanings,and CCTV inspections.
Operating salaries and benefits decreased by $4.2 million to $75.6 million, a 5.3 percent decrease from
the prior year. The operating salaries and benefits costs are part of the overall decrease of$1.2 million in
total salaries and benefits when including the salaries and benefits capitalized within the capital
improvement program. Overall, total District salaries and benefits were $93.0 million, a 1.3 percent
decrease from the prior year total of$94.2 million. This decrease is reflective of the $3.1 million, or 14.5
percent decrease in retirement premiums as a result of the $125 million pay down against the District's
unfunded actuarial accrued pension liability (UAAL) in November 2014. This pay down resulted in a
UAAL premium rate decrease from 25.6 percent in FY 2014-15 to 7.86 percent in FY 2015-16.
Non-operating expense decreased $3.2 million, or 8.6 percent, and is primarily reflective of the decrease
in interest expense of $6.5 million to $27.6 million, a 19.1 percent decrease from the prior year as the
District continues to pay down on its long-term bonded debt; and to the decrease in the loss on disposal
of assets of $3.1 million from the prior year. Conversely, the District recognized pollution remediation
expenses of$6.4 million due to contamination within its underground storage fuel tanks.
Capital Facility Capacity Charges increased a modest$0.3 million, or 1.8 percent over the prior year due
to the slowdown in the economy and the modest increase activity in construction as total the total building
permit valuation in Orange County increased 6.3 percent in Calendar Year 2015 over the prior year.
7
Capital Assets
At June 30, 2016, the District had a net investment of$2.569 billion in capital assets. This represents a
net increase(including additions and deletions)of$64.5 million or 2.6 percent over the prior year.

• $ 5.7 million—Solids Thickening and Processing Upgrades at Plant No.2
More detailed information about the District's capital assets is provided in Notes 1 and 3 of Notes to the
Financial Statements.
Debt Administration
At June 30, 2016, the District had $1.116 billion outstanding in bonded debt, a net decrease of $46.3
million, or 4.0 percent from the prior year. This reduction consisted of the accumulation of principal
payments made in accordance with the schedule of debt service payments and the partial refunding of
$162.8 million of Series 2009A Certificates of Participation (COP) with Series 2016A Wastewater
Refunding Revenue Obligations in the amount of$145.9 million issued in March 2016.
Both Standard and Poor's Corporation and Fitch Ratings reaffirmed their AAA rating of the Orange
County District in the past fiscal year. The District's long-range financing plan is designed to maintain this
high rating. Over the next five years, the District is projecting over$900 million in future treatment plant
and collection system capital improvements. In accordance with the District's long-term debt fiscal policy,
the District will restrict long-term borrowing to capital improvements that cannot be financed from current
revenue. However, no new debt issuances are being proposed over the next five years to assist with the
funding of the system improvements scheduled over this time period.
For more information on long-term debt activities, see Note 4 of the Notes to Basic Financial Statements.

Economic Factors and Next Year's Budgets and Rates
• The unemployment rate within the County of Orange is currently 4.4 percent, a slight increase from
the rate of 4.0 percent a year ago.
• Inflation for Orange County in 2015 increased 1.9 percent over the prior year based on the actual
percentage change in the consumer price index according to the June 2016 Economic and Business
Review report prepared by Chapman University.
• The actual rate of return on investments increased from the 0.8 percent earnings rate in FY 2014-15
to 1.7 percent for FY 2015-16.
All of these factors were considered in preparing the District's biennium budget beginning July 1, 2016.
The District's user fee schedule was increased by 1.6 percent for FY 2016-17 over the prior year. The
annual fee applicable to the District's largest customer base and the underlying basis for all other user
rates: the single-family residential fee, increased by $5.00, from $322.00 to $327.00. This rate increase
was necessary to finance the District's cash flow needs as capital improvement outlays alone are
projected to be $171.3 million in FY 2016-17 and are projected to total $2.4 billion over the next 10 years
in order to rehabilitate and upgrade existing facilities and maintain full secondary treatment standards.

(11 Summary of Significant Accountina Policies
Reoortina Entity
The Orange County Sanitation District(OCSD) is a public agency which owns and operates certain
wastewater facilities in order to provide regional wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal
services to approximately 2.6 million people in the northern and central portion of the County of
Orange, California. OCSD is managed by an administrative organization comprised of directors
appointed by the agencies and cities which are serviced by OCSD.
OCSD's service area was originally formed in 1954 pursuant to the County Sanitation District Act
and consisted of seven independent special districts. Two additional districts were formed and
additional service areas were added in 1985 and 1986. These special districts were jointly
responsible for the treatment and disposal facilities which they each used. In April of 1998, the
Board of Supervisors of Orange County passed Resolution 98-140 approving the consolidation of
the existing nine special districts into a new, single sanitation district. This action was taken in
order to simplify the governance structures, reduce the size of OCSD's Board of Directors, ease
administrative processes, streamline decision-making and consolidate accounting and auditing
processes. Pursuant to the Resolution and Government Code Section 57500, the predecessor
special districts transferred and assigned all of their powers, rights, duties, obligations, functions
and properties to OCSD, including all assets, liabilities, and equity.
Effective July 1, 1998, the organization became known as the Orange County Sanitation District.
The boundaries of one of the previous districts, now known as Revenue Area No. 14, have been
maintained separately because their use of OCSD's collection, treatment, and disposal system is
funded by the Irvine Ranch Water District(IRWD). The boundaries of the other eight districts have
been consolidated and are collectively referred to as the Consolidated Revenue Area. OCSD
utilizes joint operating and capital outlay accounts to pay joint treatment, disposal, and construction
costs. These joint costs are allocated to each revenue area based on gallons of sewage Flow. The
supplemental schedules and statements show internal segregations and are not intended to
represent separate funds for presentation as major or non-major funds in the basic financial
statements.
The accompanying financial statements present OCSD and its blended component unit, the
Orange County Sanitation District Financing Corporation. The Corporation is a legally separate
entity although in substance it is considered to be part of OCSD's operations. OCSD is considered
to be financially accountable for the Corporation which is governed by a board comprised entirely
of OCSD's board members. There is no requirement for separate financial statements of the
Corporation; consequently, separate financial statements for the Corporation are not prepared.
The Corporation had no financial activity during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, other than
principal and interest payments on outstanding certificates of participation/revenue obligations and
notes (see Note 4).
OCSD is independent of and overlaps other formal political jurisdictions. There are many
governmental entities, including the County of Orange, that operate within OCSD's jurisdiction;
however, financial information for these entities is not included in the accompanying financial
statements in accordance with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASS)
Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
Measurement Focus and Basis of Accountina
OCSD operates as an enterprise activity. Enterprise funds account for operations that are
financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises, where the intent of the
15
ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2016
Board of Directors is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation and amortization) of
providing services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily
through user charges.
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenses are recognized in the accounts and
reported in the financial statements. Enterprise funds are accounted for on the flow of economic
resources measurement focus and use the accrual basis of accounting, whereby revenues are
recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred, regardless of the timing of
related cash flows.
The accounting policies of OCSD conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (GAAP) as applicable to governments. The Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASS) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental
accounting and financial reporting principles in the United States.
Ooeratina Plans
Each year, OCSD staff prepares an annual operating plan which is adopted by the Board of
Directors. The annual operating plan is used to serve as a basis for monitoring financial progress,
estimating the levy and collection of taxes, and determining future service charge rates. During
the year,these plans may be amended as circumstances or levels of operation dictate.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased and money market
funds and external investment pools that can be withdrawn on demand are considered to be cash
equivalents.
Investments
Except for certain investments in monies held by fiscal agent as disclosed in Note 2, section "Fair
Value of Investment", all other investments are stated at fair value (the price that would be
received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants acting in their
economic best interest at the measurement date). Changes in fair value that occur during the
fiscal year are reported as part of investment and interest income. Investment and interest income
includes interest earnings and realized and unrealized gains or losses in fair value. Investment
and interest income are recorded as revenues and receivables when declared and realized gains
or losses are recorded when the investment is sold.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable is reported net of the allowance for uncollectible receivables. Uncollectible
receivables were $98,917 at June 30, 2016. Unbilled sewer services through June 30, 2016 are
recorded as revenue and receivables. Management determines the allowance for uncollectible
receivables by evaluating individual accounts receivable at least one year past due and
considering a customer's financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions.
Accounts receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts
receivables previously written off are recorded when received.
Inventories
Inventories, which is held for consumption and not resale, is stated at cost on a weighted-average
basis, and then is expensed when used.

ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2016
Capital Assets
Outlays for property, plant, equipment, and construction in progress are recorded in the revenue
area which will use the asset. Such outlays may be for individual revenue area assets or for a
revenue area's share of joint assets.
Capital assets of property, plant, and equipment are defined as assets with an initial, individual
cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life of at least three years. Such assets are
recorded at cost, except for assets acquired by contribution, which are recorded at fair market
value at the time received. Cost includes labor; materials; outside services;vehicle and equipment
usage; other ancillary costs consisting of direct charges such as engineering, purchasing,
supervision, or fringe benefits. Interest costs, net of interest earnings, are capitalized on projects.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, net interest costs of$13,786,670 were capitalized.
Depreciation of plant and equipment is provided for over the estimated useful lives of the assets
using the straight-line method in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
OCSD also considers the guidelines of estimated useful lives as recommended in the State of
California Controller's Uniform System of Accounts for Waste Disposal Districts, which range from
3 to 75 years. The following are estimated useful lives for major classes of depreciable assets:
Sewage collection facilities — 50 years, Sewage treatment facilities — 40 years, Sewage disposal
facilities — 40 years, General plant and administrative structures — 40 years, and other General
plant and administrative facilities and equipment—4 to 25 years.
Amortization
Amortization of the excess purchase price over the book value of assets acquired is provided
using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 30 years.
Premiums and discounts on certificate anticipation notes and wastewater refunding revenue
obligations are amortized to interest expense over the respective terms of the installment
obligations based on the effective interest method (Note 4).
Restricted Assets
Certain assets are classified as restricted because their use is limited by applicable debt
covenants. Specifically, the assets are restricted for installment payments due on certificates of
participation and revenue obligations or are maintained by a trustee as a reserve requirement for
the certificates of participation and revenue obligations. When both restricted and unrestricted
resources are available for use, it is OCSD's policy to use restricted resources first, then
unrestricted resources as they are needed.
Deferred Charges on Defeasances
For advance refundings resulting in defeasance of debt, the difference between the reacquisition
price and the net carrying amount of the old debt (i.e. deferred charges) is reported as a deferred
outflow of resources and amortized to interest expense based on the effective interest method over
the remaining life of the old debt or the life of the new debt, whichever is shorter. OCSD's defamed
charges on the refunding debt at June 30,2016 are$41,494,547.
Net Position
Net position represents the total of assets and deferred outflows of resources less liabilities and
deferred inflows of resources, and is classified into two categories:
Net Investment in Capital Assets — This amount consists of capital assets, net of accumulated
depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowings used for the acquisition,
17
ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2016
construction or improvement of those assets and excludes unspent debt proceeds. Deferred
outflows of resources that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or improvement of those
assets or related debt also are included in this component of net position.
Unrestricted—This amount represents the residual of amounts not classified in the other category
and represents the net equity available for OCSD.
Compensated Absences
OCSD's employees, other than operations and maintenance personnel, are granted vacation and
sick leave in varying amounts with maximum accumulations of 200 hours and 560 hours for
vacation and sick days earned but unused, respectively. Operations and maintenance personnel
accrue between 80 and 250 personal leave hours per year depending on years of service.
Personal leave can be accumulated up to a maximum of 440 hours.
Vacation and sick leave benefits and personal days are recorded as an expense and liability when
earned by eligible employees. The distribution between current and long-term portions of the
liability is based on historical trends.
Claims and Judgments
OCSD records estimated losses when it is probable that a claim liability has been incurred and
when the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Claims payable includes an estimate
for incurred but unreported claims. The distribution between current and long-term portions of the
liability is based on historical trends.
Pensions
OCSD has two pension plans for retirees: a defined benefit pension plan maintained through and
by the Orange County Employees' Retirement System (OCERS) and the Additional Retiree
Benefit Account (ARBA) administered directly by OCSD. For purposes of measuring the net
pension liability, deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of resources related to pensions,
and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of OCSD's cost sharing multiple-
employer plan with the OCERS plans (Plans) and additions to/deductions from the Plans'fiduciary
net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by OCERS. Benefit
payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in
accordance with the benefit term. Investments are reported at fair value.
A deferred outflow of resources and deferred inflow of resources related to pensions result from
changes in the components of the net pension liability and are applicable to a future reporting
period. OCSD's deferred outflows related to pensions, deferred inflows related to pensions, and
net pension liability for OCERS at June 30, 2016 are $48,088,910, $23,039,510, and $42,439,760,
respectively. OCSD's deferred outflows related to pensions, deferred inflows related to pensions,
and net pension liability for ARBA at June 30, 2016 are $1,178,246, $0, and $18,313,122,
respectively.
In aggregate for both plans, OCSD's total deferred outflows related to pensions, deferred inflows
related to pensions, and net pension liability at June 30, 2016 are $49,267,156, $23,039,510, and
$60,752,882, respectively.
Property Taxes
The County is permitted by State law (Proposition 13) to levy taxes at one percent of full market
value (at time of purchase) and can increase the assessed value no more than two percent per
18
ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2016
year. OCSD receives a share of this basic levy, proportionate to what was received in the 1976 to
1978 period.
Property taxes are determined annually and attached as enforceable liens on real property as of
January 1 and are payable in two installments which become delinquent after December 10 and
April 10. The County bills and collects the property taxes and remits them to OCSD in installments
during the year. Property tax revenues are recognized when levied. The Board of Directors has
designated property tax revenue to be used for the annual debt service requirements prior to being
used as funding for current operations.
Capital Facilities Capacity Charges
Capital facilities capacity charges represent fees imposed at the time a structure is newly
connected to OCSD's system, directly or indirectly, or an existing structure or category of use is
increased. This charge is to pay for District facilities in existence at the time the charge is imposed
or to pay for new facilities to be constructed that are of benefit to the property being charged.
Operating and Non-operating Revenues and Expenses
Operating revenues and expenses result from collecting,treating, and disposing of wastewater and
inspection and permitting services. OCSD's operating revenues consist of charges to customers
for the services provided. Operating expenses include the cost of providing these services,
administrative expenses,and depreciation and amortization expenses. All revenues and expenses
not meeting these definitions and which are not capital in nature are reported as non-operating
revenues and expenses.
Construction Commitments
OCSD has active construction projects to add additional capacity, improve treatment, or
replace/rehabilitate existing assets. At June 30, 2016, the outstanding commitments with
contractors totaled$100,566,972.
Self-Insurance Plans
For the year ended June 30, 2016, OCSD was self-insured for portions of workers' compensation,
property damage, and general liability. The self-insurance portion of the workers' compensation
exposure is the $1,000,000 deductible per occurrence under the outside excess insurance
coverage to statutory levels. The self-insurance portion of the property damage exposure covering
fire and other perils is the $250,000 per occurrence deductible (for most perils) under the outside
excess property insurance coverage to $1 billion. The self-insurance portion of the property
damage exposure covering flood is the $100,000 per occurrence deductible with outside excess
property insurance coverage to $300 million. The self-insurance portion of the property damage
exposure covering earthquake is the 5% per structure, minimum $5,000,000 deductible with
outside excess insurance coverage to $25 million on covered structures. OCSD has insured a
number of key structures against the peril of earthquake, all other structures are completely self-
insured. The self-insurance portion of the boiler & machinery exposure is the deductible ranging
from $25,000 to $350,000 under the outside excess boiler & machinery insurance coverage to
$100 million per occurrence combined limit. The self-insurance portion of the general liability
exposure is the $500,000 per occurrence deductible under the outside excess liability coverage to
$40 million per occurrence and aggregate. The self-insurance portion of the pollution liability
exposure is the$75,000 per loss deductible under the outside pollution liability insurance coverage
to $10 million. There were no significant changes in insurance coverage during the fiscal year
ended June 30,2016.
19
ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2016
During the past three fiscal years there have been no settlements in excess of covered amounts.
Claims against OCSD are processed by outside insurance administrators. These claims are
charged to claims expense based on estimated or known amounts which will ultimately be paid.
Claims incurred but not yet reported have been considered in determining the accrual for loss
contingencies. Workers' compensation reserves are actuarially determined and general liability
estimated loss accruals are estimated using past experience adjusted for current trends and any
other factors that would modify past experience. The estimate of the claims liability also includes
any amounts for incremental and nonincremental claim adjustment expenses. OCSD
management believes that there are no unrecorded claims as of June 30, 2016 that would
materially affect the financial position of OCSD.
Deferred Compensation Plan
OCSD offers its employees a deferred compensation plan established in accordance with Internal
Revenue Code Section 457. The plan permits all employees of OCSD to defer a portion of their
salary until future years. The amount deferred is not available to employees until termination,
retirement, death or for unforeseeable emergency. The assets of the plan are held in trust for the
exclusive benefit of the participants and their beneficiaries. Since the plan assets are administered
by an outside party and are not subject to the claims of OCSD's general creditors, in accordance
with GASS Statement 32, the plan's assets and liabilities are not included within OCSD's financial
statements.
Accounting Changes
The accompanying financial statements reflect the implementation of GASB Statement No. 73 -
Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions and Related Assets that are not within the Scope
of GASB Statement 68, and Amendments to Certain Provisions of GASB Statements 67 and 68.
The retroactive effect of implementing this change in reporting pension expenses and obligations
resulted in a restatement of the beginning net position as described further in Note 9. The effect
on the previously issued financial statement as of June 30, 2015 resulted in an adjustment to
ending net position from$1,761,844,454 to$1,755,003,645.

Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value
of an investment. Generally, the longer an investment has before maturity, the greater the
sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that OCSD
manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and
longer term investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio
is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time, as necessary to provide the cash flow
and liquidity needed for operations.
OCSD monitors the interest rate risk inherent in its managed portfolio by measuring the modified
duration of its portfolio. The duration of monies held for shorter term purposes is recommended by
OCSD's Treasurer and is based on OCSD's cash flow requirements in meeting current operating
and capital needs. The average duration of monies invested for shorter term purposes may never
exceed 180 days. The duration of monies held for longer term purposes is recommended annually
by OCSD's Treasurer and is based on OCSD's five-year cash flow forecast. The average duration
may not exceed 120 percent nor be less than 80 percent of the recommended duration. The
average duration of monies invested for longer term purposes may never exceed 60 months.
There is no stated maximum maturity for the Money Market Mutual Funds. The money market
mutual funds for Blackrock Institutional Fund and the US Bank Money Market Fund are daily liquid
funds available on demand.

Total Fair Value of Investments Held by Fiscal Agents $ 24,837,227
Investments with Fair Values Highly Sensitive to Interest Rate Fluctuations
OCSD's investments (including investments held by trustees) include the following investments
that are highly sensitive to interest rate fluctuations (to a greater degree than already indicated in
the information provided above):
Mortgage-backed securities: These securities are subject to early payment in a period of
declining interest rates. The resulting reduction in expected total cash flows affects the fair
value of these securities, making them highly sensitive to change in interest rates. At fiscal
year end, the fair value of investments in mortgage-backed securities totaled $5,727,914
including $3,475,796 of mortgage pass-through securities, $1,990,521 of U.S. agency
securities, and $261,597 of U.S. government backed mortgage pools.
Fair Value of Investments
OCSD measures and records its investments using fair value measurement guidelines established
by generally accepted accounting principles. These guidelines recognize a three-tiered fair value
hierarchy, as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices for identical investments in active markets;
Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted market prices; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs.

The Bank of New York Mellon is the custodial bank for all of OCSD's investments shown above in
the managed portfolio, except for LAIF. Investments classified as Level 2 are valued using the
Bank of New York Mellon's fair value hierarchy matrix based on the asset type classification. The
fair value hierarchy level matrix is based on discussions with (1) pricing vendors, (2)
broker/dealers, (3) investment managers, (4) industry groups, and (5) independent accounting
firms.
Monies held by trustees (fiscal agents) that are invested in cash accounts, money market mutual
funds and LAIF are reported at carrying cost. Monies held by trustees that are invested in
guaranteed investment agreements are exempt from fair value reporting and are reported based
on the face value of the contracts.
Disclosures Relating to Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the
holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization. The following table presents the minimum rating as
required by the California Government Code, OCSD's investment policy, or debt agreements, and
the actual rating as of year-end for each investment type.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Limitations on the amount that OCSD is allowed to invest in any one issuer have been identified
previously in the section "Investments Authorized by the California Government Code and OCSD's
Investment Policy" and in the section "Investments Authorized by Debt Agreements." OCSD
follows whichever guideline is the most restrictive.
As of June 30, 2016, OCSD had the following investments representing five percent or more of
total investments:
Name of Issuer Fair Value % of Total
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) $ 89,941,364 16.50%
Federal National Mortgage Association(FNMA) $ 48,920,090 8.97%
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of the failure of a depository financial
institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover
collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The California Government
Code and OCSD's investment policy contain legal requirements that limit the exposure to custodial
credit risk for deposits as follows: a financial institution must secure deposits made by state or
local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository
regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market value of the
pledged securities in the collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by
the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure deposits by pledging
first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits.
Custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that in the event of the failure of the counterparty
(e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its
investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The California
Government Code and OCSD's investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that
would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for investments. As of June 30, 2016, in
accordance with OCSD's investment policy, none of OCSD's investments were held with a
counlerparty. All of OCSD's investments were held with an independent third party custodian bank
registered in the name of OCSD. OCSD uses Bank of New York (BNY) Mellon as a third party
custody and safekeeping service for its investment securities.
Investment in State Investment Pool
OCSD is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by
California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of
California. The fair value of OCSD's investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying
financial statements at amounts based upon OCSD's pro-rata share of the fair value provided by
LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance
available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are
recorded on an amortized cost basis. Included in LAIF's investment portfolio are mortgage-backed
securities, other asset-backed securities, loans to certain state funds, securities with interest rates
that vary according to changes in rates greater than a one-for-one basis, and structured notes.
The amounts invested in LAIF are recorded as cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2016.

(5) Pension Benefits
OCSD has two pension plans for retirees: a defined benefit pension plan maintained through and
by the Orange County Employees' Retirement System (OCERS)and the Additional Retiree Benefit
Account(ARBA)administered directly by OCSD.
Pension Plan
(A) General Information about the Pension Plan
Plan Description:
All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to participate in OCSD's
Employee Pension Plan (Plan), which is a cost-sharing multiple employer defined benefit pension
plan administered by the Orange County Employees Retirement System (OCERS). OCERS was
established in 1945 under the provisions of the County Employees Retirement Law of 1937
(CERL). The Plan operates under the provisions of the California County Employees' Retirement
Law of 1937 (CERL), the California Public Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA), and
the regulations, procedures and policies adopted by OCERS' Board of Retirement. The Plan's
authority to establish and amend the benefit terms are set by the CERL and PEPRA and may be
amended by the California state legislature. The Plan is a tax qualified plan under Section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code
Benefits Provided:
OCERS provides service retirement, disability, death and survivor benefits to plan members who
may be public employees or beneficiaries. The CERL and PEPRA establish benefit terms.
Benefits are based on years of credited service equal to one year of full time employment.
Members of plans B, G and H with ten years of service credit are entitled to receive a retirement
allowance beginning at age 50; members of plan U with 5 years of service are eligible to receive a
34

Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2016
retirement allowance at age 52. Members attaining age 70 are eligible to retire regardless of
credited service.
Benefits are determined by plan formula, age, years of service and final average salary (FAS) as
follows:

A cost of living adjustment is provided to benefit recipients based on changes in the Consumer
Price Index (CPI) up to a maximum of 3% per year. Any increase greater than 3% is banked and
may be used in years when the CPI is less than 3%. The increase is established and approved
annually by the Board of Retirement.
The Plan also provides disability and death benefits to eligible members and their beneficiaries,
respectively. For retirees the death benefit is determined by the retirement benefit option chosen.
For all other members the beneficiary is entitled to benefits based on the member's years of
service and whether or not the cause of death is service related.
At June 30,2016, the following employees were covered by the benefit terms:
Inactive Employees or Beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 410
Inactive Employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 99
Active Employees 572
Total 1,081

(B) Contributions:
Participating employers and active members are required by statute to contribute a percentage of
covered salary to the Plan. CERL requires that the employer contribution rates for all public
employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and be effective on the July 1
following notice of a change in rate. Funding contributions are determined annually on an actuarial
basis as of December 31 by OCERS. The actuarially determined rate is the estimated amount
necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional
amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability.
Contributions to the Plan from OCSD were $12,222,849 for the year ended June 30, 2016. An
additional$50,000,000 was contributed to pay down OCSD's Net Pension Liability.
Contribution rates in effect for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 are as follows:
Plan G Plan H Plan B Plan U
Employer Contribution Rate, 7/1/15-6/30/16 120.75% 20.75% 18.39% 1 17.52%

(2)Employee rates are determined bythe age of entryinto the retirement system.
For the measurement period ended June 30, 2016, the contributions and average employer's
contribution rate as a percentage of annual payroll were as follows:
Average
Employee (Paid Employer
Employer by Employer) Contribution
Plans Contributions Contributions Rate (%)
Plan G $ 23,830 $ 4,020 0.05%

Plan U 1,186,713 - 1.96%
Total $ 12.222,849 $ 1,694,079
(C) Pension Liabilities:
As of June 30, 2016, OCSD reported net pension liability of$42,439,760 for its proportionate share
of OCERS' net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of December 31, 2015
and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an
actuarial valuation as of that date. OCSD's proportion of the net pension liability was based on a
projection of OCSD's long-term share of contributions to the pension plan relative to the projected
contribution of all participating employers, actuarially determined.
At December 31, 2015, OCSD's proportion of the net pension liability was 0.742%, which was a
decrease of 0.388% from its proportion measured as of December 31, 2014. The change in
OCSD's proportion of the net pension liability during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 was
caused by the contributions and projections noted above and an additional contribution of
$50,000,000 in September 2015 by OCSD to the plan.

(E) Actuarial Assumptions and Methods:
The total pension liability in the December 31, 2015 actuarial valuation was determined using the
following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:
Investment rate of return 7.25% of net pension plan investment expenses, including inflation
Discount rate 7.25%
Inflation rate 3.00%
Projected salary increases 4.25% to 13.5%
Cost of living adjustment 3.0% of retirement income
The mortality assumptions used in the total pension liability at December 31, 2015 were based on
the RP-2000 Combined Healthy Mortality Table projected with the Society of Actuaries Scale BB to
2020. For healthy general members, no adjustments are made. For disabled general members
the ages are set forward six years for males and three years for females. The basis for
determining the mortality assumptions used were based on the results of the actuarial experience
study for the period January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2013.
Further details of the Experience Study can be found in the OCERS CAFR, available on their
website at www.ocers.org.
(F) Long-Temt Expected Real Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a
building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of
inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These returns are combined to produce the
long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target
asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation and deducting expected investment
expenses.
The target allocation and projected arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class, after
deducting inflation, but before investment expenses, used in the derivation of the long-term
expected investment rate of return assumption are summarized in the following table for the
calendar year ended December 31,2015:
Weighted Average Long-
Target Term Expected Real Rate

(G) Discount Rate:
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.25% for the year ended
December 31, 2015. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed
that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that employer
contributions will be made at rates equal to the actuarially determined contribution rates. For this
purpose, only employer contributions that are intended to fund benefits for current plan members
and their beneficiaries are included. Projected employer contributions that are intended to fund the
service costs for future plan members and their beneficiaries, as well as projected contributions
from future plan members, are not included. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan's
fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments
for current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan
investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension
liability as of December 31, 2015.
(H)Sensitivity of the Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability to Changes in the Discount Rate:
The following table represents OCSD's proportionate share of the net pension liability calculated
using the discount rate of 7.25%, as well as what OCSD's proportionate share of the net pension
liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1 percentage point lower(6.25%)
or 1 percentage point higher(8.25%)than the current rate:

Detailed information about OCERS' fiduciary net position is available in a separately issued
OCERS comprehensive annual financial report. That report may be obtained from OCERS at
2223 Wellington Avenue, Santa Ana, California 92708 or at their web site(www.ocers.org).
Additional Retiree Benefit Account(ARBA)
The OCSD ARBA plan is a single-employer defined benefit plan which was administered by
OCERS until February 29, 2008, when OCSD began direct administration. This benefit was
established by the OCSD Board of Directors on October 25, 1992. It provides a monthly payment
to retirees towards the premium costs of health insurance for the retiree and eligible dependents.
The retiree is not required to use this amount for health insurance premium or to remain on the
OCSD medical plan. The plan is currently paying benefits to 267 retirees. The ARBA plan is not
subject to the reporting requirements of GASB 68 and 71 because a trust has not been set up for
the plan. However, GASB 73 has been implemented for the ARBA plan in the fiscal year ended
June 20, 2016. The plan is a funded on a pay-as-you-go plan from general funds and is
administered by OCSD. The stand-alone financial statements are not issued for the plan.
Benefits., Employees who retire receive $10 per month for every year of service up to a maximum
of 25 years, or $250 per month. This amount is independent of salary and is fixed at retirement.
Because OCSD cannot ensure the use of the benefit for payment of eligible health insurance
expenses, the benefit is taxable to the retiree. Survivor benefits are provided in the event that a
retiree pre-deceases his/her spouse. For retirees hired prior to July 1, 1988, OCSD provides
health insurance coverage for 2%months per year of service(see Note 6—Other Postemployment
Benefits). ARBA benefits begin immediately after this benefit ends. For those hired on or after
July 1, 1988, ARBA benefits begin immediately upon retirement and continue for life. Employees
hired into the OCEA bargaining group after August 1, 2011 are ineligible for this benefit.

an actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2015.
The actuarial evaluation performed as of July 1, 2015, used the Entry Age, Level Percent of Pay
Cost Method. This method represents the present value of all benefits accrued through the

The mortality assumptions used in the total pension liability at July 1, 2015 were based on the RP-
2014 Employee and Health Annuitant Mortality Tables for Males or Females, as appropriate,
without projection.
Discount Rate: The discount rate used to measure the Total Pension Liability was 3.75%as of the
valuation date, July 1, 2015, and 3.25% as of the measurement date, June 30, 2016. Because
there are no assets held in a trust that meets GASS 68 or 71, the discount rate is based on the 20

OCSD offers medical insurance to active and retired employees, as well as their qualified
dependents. This is a single-employer defined benefit plan administered by OCSD. All retirees
may choose coverage in an OCSD medical plan, with retirees paying the full premium. However,
for employees hired prior to July 1, 1988, medical benefits begin immediately at retirement with
OCSD paying 2.5 months of premium for each year of continuous service toward the cost of
coverage under OCSD medical plans. At the termination of this period the retiree may elect to
continue coverage at his/her own expense. This plan was established and may be modified only
by action of the OCSD Board of Directors. The stand-alone financial statements are not issued.
As of the date of the latest actuarial valuation (711/15), there were 576 active employees, 72
retirees paying premiums, and 72 retirees whose premium is fully paid by OCSD. For the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2016, premiums ranged between $181 and $3,749 per month, depending on
the plan and number of dependents covered.
Funding Policy: There are no employee contributions to this plan; OCSD covers 100% of the cost
for qualifying employees as stated above. Retirees opting to remain with the plan after
employment pay 100% of the premium cost, except for those for whom OCSD pays for a period
(see above). An actuarial evaluation was performed as of July 1, 2015, using the Entry Age
Normal, Level Percent of Pay Cost Method. This method represents the present value of benefits
accrued through the valuation date, assuming that each employee's liability is expensed from hire
date until retirement date as a level percentage of pay. The unfunded actuarial liability was
amortized on a level dollar basis over an open period of 30 years. OCSD utilizes a pay-as-you-go
method for funding the plan. For fiscal year 2015-16, OCSD contributed $1,176,887 and retirees
contributed$785,101 to cover current year expenses.
Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation/(Asset): The annual OPEB cost is calculated based
on the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in
accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding
that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize the
unfunded actuarial liabilities over 30 years.
The following OPEB cost and net OPEB obligation/(asset) was determined for the year ended
June 30, 2016:

Covered payroll $60,025,942
UAAL as a percentage of covered payroll 15.3%
The preceding noted actuarial accrued liability was based on the June 30, 2016 actuarial valuation.
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan and
include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation. The actuarial valuation
contained in the report involve estimates of the subject to continual revision as they reflect a long-
term perspective. Assumption used in the report also include techniques designed to reduce
short-term volatility in AAL and the actuarial value of assets. Current estimates of the funded status
and trend information about the funding progress are presented in the Required Supplementary
Information section following the notes to the basic financial statements.
The net OPEB asset is reported in the noncurrent portion of assets on the Statement of Net
Position.
Actuarial methods and assumptions: Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are
based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and plan members) and
include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of
sharing the benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial
methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of
short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with
the long-term perspective of the calculations.
The ARC for the current year was determined as part of the July 1, 2015 actuarial valuation using
the Entry Age Normal, Level Percent of Pay Cost Method. The actuarial assumptions include a
3.75% investment rate of return, an annual rate of inflation of 2.5%, and an annual healthcare cost
trend rate of 8.0%. The UAAL is being amortized ratably over an open 30 years amortization
period. Inflation assumptions are included as part of the healthcare cost trend. No benefit increase
is anticipated and the benefit is unaffected by changes in salary.

(7) Transactions with Irvine Ranch Water District—Revenue Area No. 14
Formation of Revenue Area No. 14&Excess Purchase Price Over Book Value of Acquired Assets
On July 1, 1985, Revenue Area No. 14 was formed as an independent special district as a result of
a negotiated agreement between OCSD and Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD). At the time of
Revenue Area 14's creation, OCSD consisted of eight independent special districts (see Note 1 —
Reporting Entity). The eight existing districts sold a portion of the joint treatment facilities and land
to the newly created district and recorded capacity rights revenue at the time of the sale.
In accordance with the negotiated agreement between OCSD and IRWD, IRWD paid OCSD
$34,532,000 for an initial 15,000,000 gallons per day capacity in OCSD's joint treatment facilities
(with an ultimate collection capacity of 32,000,000 gallons per day) and for a pro-rata interest in
real property (based on flow of 32,000,000 gallons per day). The book value of the assets
acquired was determined to be $14,553,000 as of June 30, 1986; these assets were recorded at
book value in Revenue Area 14. The excess of the purchase price over the assets' book value
was$19,979,000 and was recorded as an intangible asset in Revenue Area 14. The excess of the
purchase price over the assets' book value is being amortized over the remainder of the useful
lives of the original assets acquired. As of June 30, 2016, after recognizing current year
amortization of$657,709, the unamortized amount of the excess of purchase price over the assets'
book value was$247,730.
Annual Transactions
IRWD entered into a separate agreement with Revenue Area 14 on January 1, 1986 whereby
IRWD agreed to fund quarterly payments of Revenue Area 14's proportionate share of OCSD's
joint capital outlay revolving fund budget requirements and certain capital improvements during the
term of the agreement, for which contributions of $2,993,946 were recorded as contribution from
other government during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. IRWD also agreed to fund the
annual integration adjustment of Revenue Area 14's equity share in OCSD's Joint Works
Treatment Facilities based on the flows discharged to OCSD. Integration contributions of
$10,109,089 to Revenue Area 14 were recognized and reported as contributions from other
government during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. These contributions received from or
credited to IRWD for their agreed-upon share of capital assets and equity share in OCSD's Joint
Works Treatment Facilities are calculated as prescribed in the agreements.
In addition, a separate agreement for transfer of IRWD's wastewater solids residuals to OCSD was
entered on April 28, 2010. IRWD agreed to pay OCSD a charge for interim solids handling charge
which include annual capital and quarterly operating expense components designed to
compensate OCSD for IRWD's share of the cost of operating and maintaining the existing facilities
for the treatment of solids. As a result, $2,086,136 in annual solids capital handling charges were
reported as operating revenue in Consolidated Revenue Area, and $8,393,851 in solids quarterly
operating and maintenance charges were reported as operating revenue in Revenue Area No. 14
during the fiscal year ended June 30,2016.
Any amounts credited to IRWD are not refunded in cash but are held as a credit to satisfy future
contributions required of IRWD. Amounts owed from IRWD are invoiced on a quarterly or annual
basis. As a result, a balance of $15,949,118 was reported in accounts receivable and due from
other governmental agency as of June 30, 2016.
Annual Cash Reserve Requirement

recognized as a liability to IRWD.
(8) Commitments. Due From Other Governmental Agency. and Contingencies
Relocation of the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor: On June 29, 2010, OCSD entered into an
agreement to lend the Orange County Flood Control District(OCFCD)60 percent of the amount of
the contract awarded to design and construct the relocation of the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor,
but not to exceed $72 million. On December 18, 2012, a new agreement was executed that
superseded the prior agreement and reduced OCSD's maximum loan obligation to $59,036,400
based on lower than expected construction costs. OCFCD agrees to repay the loan from any
subvention funds received by OCFCD, with the total balance repaid by no later than
July 1, 2022. Repayment installments will be made within 30 days equal to 60 percent of any
subvention funds received by OCFCD. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance from July 1,
2018 at an annual interest rate of two percent until the unpaid balance has been repaid. During
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, OCSD received loan repayments totaling $7,075,547, leaving
an outstanding loan receivable balance of $24,005,387 which is included in the due from other
governmental agency balance of$24,730,127 on the statement of net position.
Local Sewer Facilities Transfer: On February 27, 2014, OCSD entered into an agreement to
transfer 174 linear miles of local sewer facilities in the unincorporated area of Area 7 and in the
City of Tustin, to East Orange County Water District(EOCWD). The transfer was contingent upon
receiving Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission (OC LAFCO) approval of
EOCWD's request to activate EOCWD's latent powers to provide wastewater services and to
slightly adjust EOCWD's boundary, solely for local sewer service, which was not within EOCWD's
water service area.
The agreement was amended on April 22, 2015 to extend the limeframes and term of the original
agreement, to provide for a disbursement of $25 million of accumulated capital repair and
replacement funds within five days following the date of transfer, to provide for a reconciliation of
OCSD's records and transfer of any accumulated capital repair and replacement funds in excess
of the $25 million within six months following the date of transfer, and to prohibit the diversion of
wastewater flows away from OCSD. Due to delays in receiving approval from OC LAFCO, the
agreement was amended a second time on December 24, 2015 to extend the time frames
identified in the previous agreement, as amended.
On May 11, 2016, the OC LAFCO Commission executed Resolution 14-01, which approved
EOCWD's application for reorganization and amended its sphere of influence, thus providing for
the transfer of the local sewers to EOCWD. As of June 30, 2016, no transactions have occurred.
Pollution Remediation: An Underground Storage Tank (UST) at Plant No. 1 failed the pressure
test to ensure its tank integrity. As a result of the test failure, OCSD voluntarily took this UST out
of service and tested the immediate surrounding area and determined that both gasoline and
diesel were present. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, OCSD initialed and completed a
project to develop a remediation plan for the contaminated soil. Alternatives were reviewed with
the Orange County Health Care Agency, and based upon their feedback a recommended
remediation plan was identified. This remediation plan calls for the excavation of 2,400 cubic feet
of soil, removal and disposal of contaminated soil, and some limited groundwater treatment. This
work is anticipated to begin in the spring of 2017 and be completed by June 30, 2017. As of June
30, 2016, actual costs of $99,904 were incurred. Total remaining costs are estimated not to
exceed $6,257,000, including post-remediation monitoring costs for a five-year period and a
normal project contingency of 30 percent for the remediation effort. This estimated remaining cost
46
ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2016
has been recorded as a current liability as of June 30, 2016, and the total cost of $6,356,904 is
reported as an "Other Non-operating expense."
Litigation: Certain claims involving disputed construction costs have arisen in the ordinary course
of business. Additionally, OCSD is a defendant in lawsuits. Although the outcome of these
matters is not presently determinable, management does not expect that the resolution of these
matters will have a material adverse impact on the financial condition of OCSD.
(9) Restatement-Adoption of New Accounting Standard
During the year ended June 30, 2016, OCSD implemented GASB Statement No. 73. The
implementation of GASB Statement No. 73 required to recognize pension expense and report
deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources and unfunded pension obligations
related to pensions for its proportionate share of collective pension expenses and collective
deferred outflows and inflows for resources. The net position was not restated for deferred inflows
and defamed outflows because they were not determinable at the time of implementation of GASB
73. The retroactive effect of implementing this change in reporting pension costs resulted in a
restatement of the beginning net position. The following is a summary of the effect of this
adjustment:
Beginning net position as previously reported at June 30, 2015 $1,761,844,454
Net pension liability (measurement date as of July 1, 2015) (6,840,809)
Total adjustment (6,840,809)
Net position as restated, July 1, 2015 $1,755,003,645
An amount of $510,427 represents Revenue Area 14's proportionate share of the restatement of
the beginning net position and is included in the total restatement at June 30, 2016. The amount is
calculated based on Revenue Area 14's average proportionate share of the total salaries and
benefits costs over a 15 years period.
(10) Subsequent Events
As described in Note 8, OCSD entered into an agreement to transfer 174 linear miles of local
sewer facilities in the unincorporated area of Area 7 and in the City of Tustin, to East Orange
County Water District (EOCWD). On August 1, 2016, the local sewers transfer was officially
completed. Although the book value of the transferred assets is believed to be insignificant as
most of the assets have been fully depreciated; the agreement also provides that the cash
reserves previously collected from rate payers and held for the repair and replacement of these
local sewers be transferred to the EOCWD. The agreement provides for the transfer of the cash
reserves in two installments; the first $25 million was transferred on August 5, 2016 and the
remaining balance, estimated to be between $10 and $15 million, will be transferred within six
months of the first disbursement following a reconciliation of OCSD's records.

Sewer Service Fees
Single Family Residence Rate
Last Nine Fiscal Years and Next Fiscal Year
Sewer service fees are comprised of three categories: residential customers, commercial customers, and
industrial customers. Although the majority of sewer service fee revenues are from residential and commercial
customers(see the schedule of Number of Accounts and Revenues by Customer Class), the fee paid by each
residential and commercial customer is less than the individual fees paid by industrial customers. The rates for
commercial and industrial customers are derived from the base sewer service fee charged for a single-family
residence and are based on the type of business and the strength and volume of waste that is discharged into
the sewer system. Due to the complexity of the rate structure for commercial and industrial customers and
since the rates are derivatives of the single-family residence rate, only the single-family residence rate is
presented within the statistical section.

Although the majority of sewer service fee revenues are from residential and commercial customers (see the schedule
of Number of Accounts and Revenues by Customer Class), the fee paid by each residential and commercial customer
is less than the individual fees paid by industrial customers. Consequently, this schedule shows the largest sewer
service fee customers.

Total expenses in FY 2015-16 increased $74.9 million, or 36.9 percent since FY 2006-07, primarily as a result of
OCSD's decision beginning in FY 2002-03 to maximize existing secondary treatment facilities as OCSD moved from a
50/50 mix of primary and secondary effluent treatment to meeting secondary treatment standards as of December 31,
2012.
Maintenance, chemicals, utilities, and other operating costs represent 31.4 percent of the increase, primarily due to
the increase in the levels of treatment referred to above. Depreciation expense represents another 49.9 percent of
the increase as a result of the previous expansion in capital facilities and the financing associated with the expansion.
In FY 2015-16, personnel expenses decreased 5.1 percent over the prior year. This decrease is mainly due to a
decrease in OCERS retirement contribution rate as a result of paying down the unfunded actuarial accrued liability
over the previous two years.The full-time equivalent positions authorized have not changed in FY 2015-16.
As depicted from the chart above, actual wastewater treatment Flows were 229 mgd in FY 2006-07. Due to unusual
dry weather conditions during the last several years due to California's record-breaking drought, FY 2015-16 had
flows of only 183 mgd, a decrease of 46 mgd or 20%since FY 2006-07.

Notes
In 1978, California voters passed Proposition 13 which set the property tax rate at a
1.00% fixed amount of assessed value. This 1.00% is shared by all taxing agencies
within which the subject property resides. In addition to the 1.00% fixed amount,
property owners were charged taxes as a percentage of assessed property values for
the payment of OCSD general obligation bonds (which were paid in full in fiscal year
1998-99).

In 1978,the voters of the Stale of California passed Proposition 13 which limited property taxes to a total maximum
rate of 1% based upon the assessed value of the property being taxed. Each year,the assessed value of property
may be increased by an inflation factor which is limited to a maximum increase of 2%. With a few exceptions,
property is only reassessed at the time that it is sold to a new owner. At that point, the new assessed value is
reassessed at the purchase price of the property sold. The assessed valuation data shown above represents the
only data currently available with respell to the actual market value of taxable property and is subject to the
limitations described above. Consequently,the assessed and estimated values are the same.

Notes
(1)Upon dissolution of California redevelopment agencies during fiscal year 2011-12,property tax increment formerly remitted
to OCSD by its member city redevelopment agencies was instead deposited into the newly formed Redevelopment Property
Tax Trust Fund(RPTTF)from which the Auditor/Controller makes disbursements on behalf of the successor agencies. There
is no tax levy associated with these collections; thus, they have been excluded from the "% of Total Collection to Levy'
calculation.
(2) In fiscal year 201415, the County stopped billing user fees for wholly exempt agencies not subject to property taxes. In
fiscal year 2014-15 and 2015-16,OCSD internally billed user fees of$5 million and$4.5 million, respectively,to wholly exempt
agencies. These amounts have been excluded from the levy and collection amounts above,as only tax and user fees included
on County property tax billings are shown in this schedule.
