NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation District
does hereby ORDAIN:
Section 1. Section I: Wastewater Discharge Regulations governing the use of
District sewerage facilities are hereby enacted to provide:
ARTICLE 1
GENERAL PROVISIONS
101. 4-9-1-:-PURPOSE AND POLICY
A. A. The purpose of this Ordinance is to provide for the maximum
C.
public benefit from the use of District's facilities. This shall be accomplished
by regulating sewer use and wastewater discharges, by providing equitable
distribution of costs in compliance with applicable Federal, State and local
Regulations, and by providing procedures that will allow the District to comply
with requirements placed upon the District by other regulatory agencies. The
revenues to be derived from the application of this Ordinance shall be used
to defray all costs of providing sewerage service by the District, including, but
not limited to, administration, operation, monitoring, maintenance, financing,
capital construction, replacement and recovery, and provisions for necessary
reserves.
---B----.--This Ordinance shall be interpreted in accordance with the
definitions set forth in Section 102. The provisions of the Ordinance shall
apply to the direct or indirect discharge of all liquid wastes carried to facilities
of the District.
To comply with Federal, State, and local policies and to allow the District
to meet applicable standards of treatment plant effluent quality, sludge
quality, and air quality, provisions are made in this Ordinance for the
regulation of wastewater discharges to the public sewer. This Ordinance
establishes quantity and quality limits on all wastewater discharges which
may adversely affect the District's sewerage systems, processes, effluent
quality, sludge quality, air emission characteristics, or inhibit the District's
Book Page 9
r
f
L
L
ability to beneficially reuse or dispose of its sludge or meet sludge
discharge criteria. It is the intent of these limits to improve the quality of
wastewater being received for treatment and to encourage water
conservation and waste minimization by all users connected to a public
sewer. It is the District's intent to limit future increases in the quantity
(mass emission) of waste constituents being discharged. This Ordinance
also provides for regulation of the degree of waste pretreatment required,
the issuance of permits for wastewater discharge and connections and
other miscellaneous permits, and establishes penalties for violation of the
Ordinance.
---0,-,... --Since the District is committed to a policy of wastewater
reclamation and reuse in order to provide an alternate source of water
supply, the implementation of programs for reclamation through secondary
and tertiary wastewater treatment processes may necessitate more stringent
quality requirements on wastewater discharges. In the event that more
stringent quality requirements are necessary, the Ordinance will be amended
to reflect those changes. ·
D. E. Since the District is committed to a policy for the beneficial
use of sludge, the implementation of programs to land-apply or provide for
the marketing and distribution of sludge may necessitate more stringent
quality requirements on wastewater discharges.
E. F. Since the District is also committed to meet applicable air quality
goals established by the South Coast Air Quality Management District, more
stringent quality requirements on wastewater discharges may be required to
meet such goals.
102. 102. DEFINITIONS
----,..,A1-,-,_ --Unless otherwise defined herein, terms related to water quality
shall be as adopted in the latest edition of Standard Methods for the
Examination of Water and Wastewater, published by the American Public
Health Association, the American Water Works Association and the Water
Pollution Control Federation.
The testing procedures for waste constituents and characteristics shall be as
provided in 40 CFR 136 (Code of Federal Regulations; Title 40; Protection of
Environment; Chapter I, Environmental Protection Agency; Part 136, Test
Procedures for the Analyses of Pollutants), or as specified.

E. The charge for use shall be computed by the following formula:
Charge for Use= V0V + B0B + S0 S Tax Credit- S ecial Assessment
Book Page38
Where V = total annual volume of flow, in millions of gallons
B = total annual discharge of biochemical oxygen demand, in thousands of
pounds
S = total annual discharge of suspended solids, in thousands of pounds
Vo,B0 ,S0 = Unit Charge rates established and adopted by Ordinance of the
District's Board of Directors, based upon the funding requirements of
providing sewerage service, in dollars per unit as described in Paragraph F
below:
F. The Unit Charge rates in the charge-for-use formula shall be
determined by the following method:
------An Operations and Maintenance component of the Unit Charge for
the total annual operation and maintenance funding requirements
of the sewerage system shall be levied at a rate to be determined
from time to time by the Board of Directors. This Charge shall be
allocated among the three wastewater charge parameters of flow,
biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids in accordance
with the General Manager's determination as to the costs
associated with each parameter and pursuant to applicable
requirements of State and Federal Regulatory Agencies. The
operation and maintenance costs as distributed to flow,
biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids shall be divided
by the projected annual total flow volume and weights of
biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids to be treated by
the sewerage system in the budgeted year.
1. --------A Capital Facilities Replacement Service
component of the Unit Charge for capital replacement and capital
improvement shall be levied at a rate to be determined from time to
time by the Board of Directors. This charge shall be allocated among
wastewater charge parameters of flow, biochemical oxygen demand,
and suspended solids in accordance with the General Manager's
determination of which portion of the charge predominantly relates to
each parameter. The capital facilities charge distributed to
biochemical oxygen demand, and suspended solids shall be divided
by the projected annual weights of biochemical oxygen demand and

Unit Charge rates so determined will be expressed in dollars per
million gallons for Vo, and in dollars per thousand pounds for B0 and
So.
F. G. Other measurements of the organic content of the wastewater of a
discharger, such as COD or TOC, may be used instead of BOD. However,
the discharger must establish to the General Manager's satisfaction a
relationship between the BOD of the wastewater and the parameter of
measure. This relationship shall be used by the District in determining the
charge for use.
When wastewater from sanitary facilities is discharged separately from the
other wastewater of a discharger, the charge for use for discharging the
sanitary wastewater may be determined by using the following:
1,_ +1-. --25 gallons per employee per eight-hour working day.
-----~--BOD and suspended solids to be calculated at domestic
wastewater strength per employee per year.
The number of employees will be considered as the average number of
people employed full-time on a daily basis. This may be determined by

ENFORCEMENT
600. PURPOSE AND SCOPE
---A.-c--. --The Board finds that in order for the District to comply with the
laws, regulations, and rules imposed upon it by Regulatory Agencies and to
ensure that the District's sewerage facilities and treatment processes are
protected and are able to operate with the highest degree of efficiency, and
to protect the public health and environment, specific enforcement provisions
must be adopted to govern the discharges to the District's system by
industrial discharge permittees.
B. To ensure that all interested parties are afforded due process of law
and that non-compliance and violations are resolved as soon as possible, the
general policy of the District is that:
1. 1. Any determination relating to a Probation Order, Enforcement
Compliance Schedule Agreement (ECSA), or Regulatory Compliance
Schedule Agreement (RCSA) will be made by the Division Head of
the Source Control Division, with a right of appeal by the permittee to
the General Manager pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section
617.
c2c-. --A user, permittee, or applicant for a permit may request the
Steering Committee to hear an appeal of the General Manager's

5. 5. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to limit the authority of
the District to impose self-monitoring as a permit condition.
B. Purpose of Non-Compliance Sampling Fees
The purpose of the non-compliance sampling fee is to compensate the District for
costs of additional sampling, monitoring, laboratory analysis, treatment, disposal,
and administrative processing incurred as a result of the non-compliance, and shall
be in addition to and not in lieu of any penalties as may be assessed pursuant to
Sections 615 and 616.

obtained by the District shows a major violation by the
permittee of the mass emission rates or concentration limits
specified in the permittee's discharge permit or in this
Ordinance, then the permittee shall pay non-compliance
sampling fees to the District pursuant to fee schedules adopted
by the District's Board of Directors.
If analysis of any composite sample of a permittee's
discharge obtained by the District shows a minor violation by
the permittee of the mass emission rates or concentration
limits specified in the permittee's discharge permit or in this

compliance sampling fees, pursuant to fee schedules adopted by the
District's Board of Directors, for sampling conducted by the District as
a result of a violation by the permittee.
If any self-monitoring analysis of a permittee's discharge shows non-
compliance with any concentration limits or mass emission rates as
set forth in the user's permit or in this Ordinance, the District may
impose non-compliance sampling fees, pursuant to fee schedules
adopted by the District's Board of Directors, for sampling conducted

Staff has re-evaluated every project in the Validated Capital Improvement Program and
many newly proposed projects as a part of the 2006-07 and 2007-08 budget preparation
process. Approximately $4 7 4 million of budgeted construction costs will be delayed or
deferred. In addition, the Sanitation District contracted with Carollo Engineers to
complete a Revenue Program and Rate Analysis study. The result of these efforts
was to reduce projected 2006-07 and 2007-08 single family residential rate (SFR)
increases, the basis for all sewer service charges, from 20.0% to 14.625%.
PROJECT/CONTRACT COST SUMMARY
Without a Board action (by 2/3 majority), the SFR rate for 2006-07 will remain at
$151.00 per year. The $173 rate recommended for 2006-07 will generate
approximately $167.6 million of user fees; an annual increase of $21.0 million over the
prior year.
There are no extraordinary costs associated with the recommendation.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Rate Increase Chronology
June 2003
1) 1 n June 2003, the Board approved a revised Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
2) To support this CIP, staff recommended a five-year plan which included rate
increases averaging 20%.
3) The Board directed staff to issue a Proposition 218 public notice stating the rates
would increase by an amount not to exceed a total of 20% annually increase over
the next five year period.
4) While the increases were tentatively approved and noticed, the Board chose not to
implement the full 20% increase for 2003/04.
5) The Board did discussed alternatives between 10-20%.
6) Ultimately, the Board acted to implement a 15% increase in 2003/04.

7) Staff reset the budget and long-term cash flow model to reflect the annual increases
of 15% for the subsequent five-year period.
8) Board policy stated that 50% of all future capital improvements (approximate
percentage of non-capacity related projects), would be funded from current revenues
and the remaining 50% through debt financing. However, reducing the projected
annual rate increases to 15% required as deviation from that policy in order to
support the capital program. As of July 2003, the ratio of CIP funded debt increased
to 62 percent. By July 2005, --this ratio decreased to 58 percent. The debt fiscal
policy has subsequently been changed to provide additional flexibility when
addressing this District's capital program and debt issuances.
9) While the five-year plan was still in place, the Board directed staff that to bring back
the rate schedule for annual adoption.
June 2004
1. Through the adoption of the 2004/05 Budget, the Board acted to implement a portion
of the 20% rate increase included in the five-year plan.
2. The Board acted to implement a 15% rate increase for 2004/05.
June 2005
1. The CIP increased by $400M, from $1.948 to 2.388.
2. Additionally, Operations costs increased by $400M, from $1.38 to $1.78.
3. To support these increased costs, rates needed to be increased above 15%.
4. The Board approved a 31% rate increase for 2005-06, instead of 15%.
5. The additional increase was based on only 15% increases in each of the previous
two years.
6. Both the 2005-06 Adopted Budget and the existing ordinance include 20% rate
increases for 06-07 and 07-08.
7. Proposition 218 notices were issued based on the 20% figure.
8. As the Board must act to implement any rate increase, it reserves the option to
approve any rate increase, under the existing Proposition 218 notice, that does not
exceed 20% in fiscal year 2006-07, or 40% over the next two years.

Results of Rate Review
Using flow, growth, capital improvement program, and Operation and Maintenance
assumptions provided by the Sanitation District, Carollo developed an independent rate
model. The results of their study closely matched the in-house model developed by
District staff, calling for SFR annual rate increases approximating 14.25-14.50 percent
over the next two years. ------,~ --·
In addition, the Carollo rate model developed proposed revised capital facility capacity
charges (CFCC) that increases the benchmark 3-bedroom, SFR from $2,890 to $4 ,360,
or 50.9 percent, and the average demand for commercial industria ram $1,050 to
$1,306, or 24.4 percent. These increases are reflective of the increase in the CIP
program in June 2005 from $1.94 billion to 2.38 billion. The CFCC SFR increase was
more substantial than the Commercial/Industrial rate due to the nature of the CIP
program. The majority of the CIP program is due to the increase in treatment standards
that is concentrated on improved flow treatment as opposed to increased BOD and TSS
treatment, two variables that impact Commercial/Industrial customers more so than
flow.
The previous CFCC rates have not been increased over the last two and one-half years.
It has generally been the practice of the Sanitation District not to update CFCC rates
until the completion of an Interim Strategic Plan Update, which generally occurs only
once in approximately five years. With the implementation of this new rate ordinance,
staff is also recommending that these fees be adjusted annually to reflect the current
value of the facilities or the current cost of capital projects. It is recommended that
annual cost escalator be based on a commonly accepted price indicator; the
Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index for Los Angeles.

Orange County Sanitation District
DRAFT REPORT
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose and Scope
1.1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this report is to present the findings of a study of the District's sewer service
and capital facilities capacity charges (CFCC). The study evaluated the District's
wastewater utility revenue needs, and developed sewer service rates and wastewater
capital facilities capacity charges to equitably distribute costs among utility customers.
1.1.2 Scope of Work
The scope of work includes the following:
• Perform a revenue requirement analysis;
• Evaluate the District's sewer service charges;
• Evaluate the District's wastewater capital facilities capacity charges.
1.2 Background
The Orange County Sanitation District is a public agency responsible for regional
wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal. The District provides service to an area of
approximately 471 square miles with a population of approximately 2.5 million people in the
northern and central portion of the County, treating approximately 243 mgd of wastewater.
The District owns sanitary sewerage facilities with a replacement value of approximately
$5.38 billion.
On July 17, 2002, the Board of Directors approved Resolution No. OCSD-14, "Establishing
the Policy for Level of Treatment of Wastewater Discharged into the Ocean." This
resolution established the District's policy to treat all wastewater discharges into the ocean
to secondary treatment standards. Implementation of full secondary treatment standards is
scheduled to be completed on or before December 31, 2012.
The wastewater system must also meet other demands, including service to a growing
population, odor control improvements, and air quality protection needs. Over the next 16
years, the District's overall Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) is projected to total $1.88
billion. All capital costs presented within this report are stated in 2006 dollars, unless
otherwise denoted.

1.3 Project Findings and Recommendations
It is recommended that the District increase the annual sewer service charge from $151 to
$172.50 per equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) in FY 2006/07. It is also recommended that the
District implement annual increases between 14.25 percent and 11.75 percent in
subsequent years. This projection should be revisited on a periodic basis, as the District
updates its operational and capital projections. It is further recommended that the District
increase the Residential Capital Facilities Capacity Charge from $2,890 to $4,363 per EDU
and Commercial-Industrial Capital Facilities Capacity Charge from $1,050 to $1,307 per
1,000 square feet in FY 2006/07. In subsequent years, it is recommended that the CFCC
be increased with inflation. Finally, it is recommended that the District increase the
Supplemental Capital Facilities Capacity Charge to $0.001344 per gallon, $0.754730 per
lbs. of B.O.D., and $0.091720 per lbs. of T.S.S.
The basis for these recommendations is presented within the report herein. The project
calculations are presented in Appendix A of this report.
2.0 ASSUMPTIONS AND DATA
2.1 Flow and Growth Assumptions
According to the Interim Strategic Plan Update (June 2002), the population of the District's
service area is projected to grow to 2. 7 million by the year 2020. Average flow rates at both
treatment plants are projected to increase to a total combined flow of 278 million gallons a
day by 2020.
The average yearly influent flow to the District has remained relatively stable for the
preceding five years. The wastewater flow for Fiscal Year 2000-01 was 246 mgd (average
annual basis) and for Fiscal Year 2004-05 was 243 mgd (average annual basis). The
highest flows of 500 mgd (peak hour wet weather basis) were recorded during El Nino
storm periods in December 1997 and February 1998. There were no sewer failures or
overflows during these events.
2.1.1 Flows
Projected flows treated by the District are presented within Table 2.1.

2.1.2 Equivalent Dwelling Units
The District provided customer growth figures. Two methods were used to estimate growth.
One method projects growth based on historic growth rates. The other method projects
growth based on projections provided by the Center for Demographic Research at the
California State University at Fullerton.
The number of customers or connections to a sewer system is often expressed in
Equivalent Dwelling Units. An Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) is a measurement of the
demand on sewer and treatment facilities in terms of flow and strength that is equivalent to
that produced by a single-family home. Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Total
Suspended Solids (TSS) measure influent strength. Both residential and commercial sewer
service charges, as well as CFCCs, are based on EDUs.
The historical number of customers served by the District for the Fiscal Years 2000-01
through 2004-05, identified in Equivalent Dwelling Units ("EDUs"), are set forth in Table 2.2
below.

The District calculates the number of EDUs based on the annual revenues divided by the
current single-family residential (3-bedroom house) annual sewer service charge. Based on
projected revenues for FY 2006/07 of $147.2 million and a current annual sewer service
charge of $151 per EDU, the District is assumed to serve 975,123 EDUs. This EDU count is
used as the basis for the analysis presented within this study.
2.2 User Rate Categories
Users are billed a flat wastewater service charge based on the property use classification
maintained by the County Assessor. The District maintains a listing of average flow and
wastewater strength discharges for each property type, which is used to develop the user
rates. The single family residential (SFR) sewer service charge is based on typical flow and
loadings for an average 3-bedroom home and serves as the base rate to calculate rates for
other users. Multi-family residential users are charged 70 percent per unit of the SFR rate.
Commercial and the majority of industrial users are charged a percentage of the SFR rate
as specified in Ordinance No. OCSD-26 (OCSD-26), the Fees and Charges Ordinance.
These use factors are based on the average flow and strength characteristics for the type of
property, charged on a per 1,000 square-foot basis. Users with unusually high flows and/or
strength of wastewater, known as "Permit Users," pay individually calculated charges,
based on measured wastewater flows and strengths.
The District currently has 30 different residential and commercial use codes. See
Appendix B for a complete listing of user rate categories, contained in OCSD-26.
2.3 Capital Facility Capacity Charge (CFCC) Categories
The Capital Facility Capacity Charge is a one-time charge imposed when a building or
structure is newly connected to the District's system, or when an existing structure or
category of use is expanded or increased. The current base charge is $2,890, calculated
based on the flow and wastewater loadings for an average 3-bedroom home. Adjustments
to the base charge are delineated in OCSD-26. The rates for each size of SFR and MFR
are determined as a relative percentage higher or lower than the base (3 bedroom SFR) of
1.0, depending on the unit's size. Commercial and industrial CFCCs are classified as "Low,"
"Average," or "High" demand connections, based on the property type.
Significant commercial-industrial users and special purpose dischargers are subject to a
Supplemental Capital Facilities Capacity Charge for discharges in excess of baselines
established for flow, BOD, and TSS. A full description of the baselines and supplemental
CFCC rates are described in sections 3.07 -3.10 of OCSD-26.
A "Significant Commercial-Industrial User'' (SCIU) is an entity that discharges commercial
or industrial flow in an amount greater than 25,000 gpd, or BOD greater than 150 pounds

per day, or TSS greater than 150 pounds per day, or who is required to obtain a Waste
Discharge Permit due to having federally or District regulated or significant discharges.
A "special purpose discharger" (SPD) is an entity who discharges an amount greater than
25,000 gpd (excluding domestic, industrial, or commercial) and who is required to obtain a
Special Purpose Discharge Permit as prescribed in Section 305 of Ordinance No.
OCSD-01.
2.4 Capital Improvement Program
The District developed the current Capital Improvement Program ("CIP") in combination
with the Interim Strategic Plan. The District expects to meet future demands on the
Wastewater System through the CIP. This program has been developed to satisfy
anticipated regulatory requirements, increased population, additional treatment
requirements, conservation, energy, and other resource-savings considerations, odor
control improvements, and air quality protection needs. Over the next 16 years, the
District's CIP will accomplish:
• Major rehabilitation of the existing headworks, primary treatment, secondary
treatment, outfall pumping, and solids handling facilities at both treatment plants.
• Replace and rehabilitate 17 of the District's outlying pumping stations, and 44 trunk
sewer improvement projects.
• Fund cooperative projects to help cities upgrade their sewer systems.
• Disinfect the District's ocean discharge to reduce bacterial levels below State bathing
standards.
• Reclaim 70 millions of gallons per day of the District's effluent, or nearly one-third of
the total daily flow (Groundwater Replenishment System).
• Achieve full secondary treatment standards.
In preparation of each year's Budget, the District conducts an Annual CIP Validation Study
to ensure that the scopes of the projects were necessary, and that the cost estimates were
accurate. As a result of the completion of the CIP Validation Study and the Secondary
Treatment Peer Review in the spring of 2003, a revised CIP was developed to meet
secondary treatment standards as quickly as possible, while providing for increased flows
and rehabilitation and refurbishment of existing facilities. Implementation of full secondary
treatment standards is scheduled to be completed on or before December 31, 2012.
The CIP, as included within this study, totals $1.71 billion in 2006 dollars ($1.86 billion in
nominal dollars) between FY 2006/07 and FY 2020/21. Of this total, $1.36 billion will be
undertaken for replacement/rehabilitation and treatment upgrades, while $0.35 billion will be
undertaken to provide capacity for projected growth. The CIP expenditures over the next

five years are projected to total $1.40 billion in 2006 dollars; an annual average of $281
million.
2.5 Functional Allocation
In addition to the breakdown between replacement and expansion projects, it is also
necessary to allocate these costs to billable constituents that can be measured both at the
treatment facilities and for each user to enable the capital and O&M project costs to be
charged to existing and future users. To accomplish this, the costs for each project were
broken into the costs associated with treatment of the billable constituents: flow and
strength (Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS)). An
example of these allocations are shown later in the report in Table 4.4.
The allocation of O&M expenditures by unit process are illustrated in Table 2.3.

2.6 Operations and Maintenance Expenditures
The revenue requirement analysis uses the District's FY 2005/06 budgets as the basis for
forecasting future revenue needs. Expenditures are assumed to increase commensurate
with cost inflation and projected cost increases associated with increases in wastewater
flows due to growth and higher treatment standards.
Revenues and expenses are projected for future fiscal years using the following annual
escalation factors, as agreed upon with the District:
• General Cost Inflation: 4%
• Power & Chemicals: 7%
• Labor Inflation: 6%
• FY 2005/06 Construction Cost Inflation: 5%
• Customer Growth: 0.4%
• FY 2005/06 Fund Earnings: 4%
This analysis incorporates the District's proposed FY 2006/07 and FY 2007 /08 operating
budgets.
2.7 Existing Financial Information
The background financial information supplied by·the District included: existing debt service
and future payments, current reserve ending fund balance, other future non-treatment
alternative-related expenses, other future revenues, future property taxes, and other
miscellaneous financial information. The District also provided revenues and expenses
associated with providing service to Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD), Santa Ana
Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA), and other miscellaneous items.

3.0 REVENUE REQU IREMENT ANALYSIS
3.1 Introduction
The revenue requirement analysis determines the amount of rate revenue needed in a
given year to meet a utility's expected financial obligations. At least two separate tests must
be met in order for rates to be sufficient:
1) Cash Flow Test -A utility must generate annual utility revenues adequate to
meet general cash needs.
2) Bond Coverage Test -Annual rate revenues must satisfy debt coverage
obligations on Certificates of Participation.
The cash flow test identifies projected cash requirements in each given year. Cash
requirements include operations and maintenance expenses, debt service payments,
policy-driven additions to working capital, miscellaneous capital outlays, replacement
funding, and rate funded capital expenditures. These expenses are compared to total
annual projected revenues. Shortfalls are then used to estimate needed rate increases.
The bond coverage test measures the ability of a utility to meet both legal and policy-driven
revenue obligations. Because the District has variable rate COPs, it is required to collect
sufficient funds through rates to meet all ongoing operational and maintenance expenses,
as well as 2.00 times the total debt service requirements due in a year. A certificate of
participation (COP) is a debt instrument where the purchaser receives a share in an
installment sale arrangement with the District.
Revenues must be sufficient to satisfy both tests. If revenues are found to be deficient
through one or both of the tests, then the greater deficiency (shortfall) drives the rate
increase.
3.2 Funding Sources
Over the next ten years, the District projects $1.69 billion in future wastewater treatment
improvements and in future collection system capital improvements, as stated in 2006
dollars. The District expects to fund these improvements through a combination of
revenues, reserves, and COPs. The District expects to issue approximately $1.0 billion in
certificates of participation over the next ten years. Payments with respect to any such
indebtedness are expected to be executed and delivered as Additional Obligations under
the Master Agreement on a parity with the Installment Payments.
Current Revenues
Sewer Service Charges -User charges can be increased to accumulate reserves to cash
fund capital projects. The District established a Capital Improvement Reserve to fund
annual increments of the capital improvement program with a target level at one half of the

average annual capital improvement program through the year 2020. The Capital
Replacement/Renewal Reserve was established to provide thirty percent of the funding to
replace or refurbish the current collection, treatment, and disposal facilities.
Further, for this analysis, we have used a "rate smoothing" strategy for meeting future rate
requirements. Projected rate increases in FY 2006/07 are designed to both flatten annual
rate increases and allow for the accumulation of reserves. This approach is designed to
reduce long-term costs to the customers by reducing the District's debt requirements and
helping maintain their current bond rating.
Capital Facilities Capacity Charges -CFCCs are a one-time charge imposed on new
development or expansion of existing users that increase demand on the system. They
provide for equitable cost recovery of growth-related costs.
New Debt
The District can issue Certificates of Participation (COPs) to fund capital-related projects.
By issuing debt, the Utility is legally required to maintain a 1.25x coverage ratio on the
maximum outstanding annual debt service. This means that rates must cover annual cash
operating expenses plus 125 percent of the maximum annual outstanding debt service
payments. This coverage requirement is delineated within The Master Agreement for
District Obligations, dated August 1, 2000. However, because some of the District's
outstanding COPs are variable rate, a more stringent coverage ratio of 2.00x is imposed.
Currently the District has Senior Obligations Outstanding payable on a parity with the
Installment Payments under the Installment Purchase Agreement. Table 2.6 below
describes the District's outstanding certificates of participation as of July 1, 2005.

Reserves
The District maintains eight separate categories for its reserve funds. The following table
delineates the projected reserve requirements for FY 2006/07. Increases to the Capital
Improvement Program Reserve and Debt Service Required Reserves are attributable
principally to the funding of projected CIP cash flow and the Reserve Fund for the
Certificates.

the fiscal year, prior to the receipt of the first installment of the property tax allocation
and sewer service user fees which are collected as a separate line item on the property
tax bill. The level of this reserve is established as the sum of an amount equal to six
months operations and maintenance expense and the total of certificates of
participation debt service expenses due in the subsequent fiscal year.
• The Operating Contingency Reserve was established to provide for non-recurring
expenditures that were not anticipated when the annual budget and Sewer Service
Charges were adopted. The level of this reserve is equal to ten percent of the District's
annual operating budget.

• The Short-Term Capital Fund Reserve was created for specific short-term capital
improvements such as the GWRS.
• The Capital Replacement/Renewal Reserve was established to provide thirty percent of
the funding to replace or refurbish the current collection, treatment, and disposal
facilities. The current replacement value of these facilities is estimated to be
approximately $5.38 billion. The initial reserve level for this fund was established at $50
million and is augmented by interest earnings and a portion of the annual Sewer
Service Charges.
• Debt Service Reserves are controlled by a trustee pursuant to the provisions of
certificates of participation issues and is not available for the general needs of the
District.
• The Rate Stabilization Reserve accumulates all available funds that exceed the targets
for all other reserves. The Rate Stabilization Reserve is a separate fund from the Rate
Stabilization Account established under the Trust Agreement. These funds are applied
to future years' needs and must be maintained at specified levels. There is currently no
established target for this reserve.
• Adjustments to the total reserves reflect ability of one reserve to support the
requirements of other reserves. Not all reserves will be fully utilized at any given point.

At the direction of the District, rate increases have been levelized (smoothed), to allow for
gradual increase, eliminating significant rate spikes. Rate levelization provides two
significant benefits. First, increasing rates over a multi-year period can help reduce rate
shock to a utility's customers and allow them to better plan for projected increases. Second,
by increasing rates over time in anticipation of large capital expenditures, the District will
temporarily generate excess cash reserves through FY 2011/12, which can be used to cash
fund a greater portion of the CIP, thus reducing the magnitude and costs of borrowing.
Further, bond rating agencies (Moody's, Fitch ICBA, and Standard and Poor's) have placed
increasingly greater weight on good business practices when assigning credit ratings.
These business practices include, among others, balancing cash and debt financing, as
well as the implementation of proactive rate increases, which demonstrate a municipality's
commitment to meeting its stated and require level-of-service and environmental objectives.
4.0 RATE STRUCTURE ANALYSIS
4.1 Introduction
Sewer service charges are developed to equitably allocate costs to users to operate,
service debt, and perform repairs and replacements for wastewater collection and treatment
systems. The overall procedure used to develop sewer service charges is as follows:
• Revenue Needs. Define the annual revenue that must be recovered from sewer
service charges and permit users.
• Functional Allocation. Determine the percentage allocation of O&M and capital
costs to the billable constituents: flow, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), and
Total Suspended Solids (TSS), based upon the existing allocation methodology.
• Unit Costs. Develop unit costs for each billable constituent by dividing the total cost
allocated to that constituent by the total wastewater flow or loadings of that
constituent.
• Customer Category Rates. Develop rates for each customer category, by applying
unit costs to estimated flows and related loadings for each category.
The District collects Sewer Service Charges from property owners through the semi-annual
property tax bill distributed by the County throughout the District, except in Revenue Area
No. 14. Pursuant to the IRWD Agreement, the District receives payments from the Irvine
Ranch Water District (the "IRWD"), which directly collects fees from customers through a
monthly billing procedure in Revenue Area No. 14.
In May 2005, the Board adopted Ordinance No. OCSD-26 increasing the FY 2005-06 single
family residential rate 31 percent, from $115.00 to $151.00 per year. This increase was
necessary in order to meet the District's cash flow needs due to the addition of disinfection
treatment and other operating requirements.

Commercial Sewer Service Charges. The sewer service charges for commercial categories
are based on a multiplier of the Single Family Residential charge.
Industrial Sewer Service Charges. The District charges industrial sewer service charges to
customers discharging high-strength or high-volume wastes into the sewer systems.
Customers subject to industrial sewer service charges are billed directly by the District. The
fee charged to each customer is based on the customer's sewage volume, the
concentration of Biochemical Oxygen Demand, and Total Suspended Solids.
4.2 Revenue Needs
The revenue needs are defined as the amount of revenues that must be recovered through
sewer service charges and permit user charges in order to cover annual expenditures less
any offsetting revenues. Offsetting revenues can include interest earnings, IRWD and
SAWPA payments, and other non-operating revenues.
Expenditures and offsetting revenues for FY 2006/07 are as follows:

4.3 Functional Allocation
The District's existing allocation methodology was used as the basis to develop sewer
service charges. Bartle Wells Associates reviewed the District's allocation and concurred
that the allocation was reasonable. Their findings are documented in the January 2006
draft report, "Review of Rates and Charges Report," which will be finalized in May 2006.
This study does not modify the District's existing allocations.
To develop sewer service charges, unit rates per unit of flow, BOD, and TSS are applied to
standard flow and loading factors developed for most customer categories. Users with
unusually high flows and/or strength of wastewater, known as "Permit Users," are charged
based on measured wastewater flows and strengths.

4.4 Unit Costs
Residential and Commercial Sewer Service Charges Calculation
Residential and commercial sewer service charges are calculated on a EDU base charge.
Each residential and commercial category has a defined flow and strength (BOD and TSS)
assumption. To develop sewer service charges, unit rates per unit of flow, BOD, and TSS
are applied to standard flow and loading factors developed for most customer categories.
a) EDU Defined Equivalents Calculation.
The number of existing users was determined using a fee-based approach. The number of
EDUs was determined by taking the total revenue and dividing by the Single Family
Residential rate of the same year. The projected number of customers served by the
District for the Fiscal Year 2006-07, identified in EDUs, is 975,123.
The following table presents flow and load information from the District's plants.

4.5 Customer Category Rates
The single family residential (SFR) sewer service charge is based on typical flow and
loadings for an average 3-bedroom home and serves as the base rate to calculate rates for
other users. Users are charged a percentage of the SFR rate as specified in Ordinance No.
OCSD-26 (OCSD-26), the Fees and Charges Ordinance. These use factors are based on
the average flow and strength characteristics for the type of property, charged on a per
1,000 square-foot basis.
Eg. 1: Multi-family residential with factor 0. 7
Annual cost: $170.81 X 0.7 = $119.57
Eg. 2: Neighborhood shopping center with factor 1.39
Annual cost: $170.81 X 1.39 = $237 .43
Eg. 3: Take-out restaurant with factor 3.0
Annual cost: $170.81 X 3.0 = $512.43
Industrial User Sewer Service Charges
The District's industrial users are charged individually based on the measured quantity of
each of the billable constituents. The calculation of the charges is based on the user's flows
and loads. Table 4.10 presents the unit costs that are recommended.

4.6 Findings and Recommendations
It is recommended that the District adopt a sewer service charge of $170.81 per EDU per
year for FY 2006/07. In subsequent years, we recommend that the District increase sewer
service charges between 11.25 percent and 14.25 percent annually, as illustrated in Table

5.0 CAPITAL FACILITIES CAPACITY CHARGE ANALYSIS
5.1 Introduction
Capital Facilities Capacity Charges (formerly known as connection fees) are one-time fees
paid at the time property is developed and connected to the Wastewater System. The fees
are levied to pay a portion of the District's capital costs and for access to capacity in the
Wastewater System. Currently, the District has Capital Facilities Capacity Charges of
$2,890 per residential unit (three-bedroom) and $1,050 per 1,000 square feet for
commercial and industrial users. Under the current industrial use ordinance, additional
CFCCs, referred to as Supplemental Capital Facilities Capacity Charges, can be imposed
on industrial users who place larger than average demands on the Wastewater System.
Capital Facilities Capacity Charges are reviewed annually to reflect the changes in the
value of the Wastewater System to which a new customer is connecting.
CFCCs are designed to recover capital costs of providing capacity for new users. They may
fund future capacity expansion projects. The underlying premise is to charge each new user
the estimated reasonable cost of providing capital facilities necessary to provide
wastewater service (i.e., require growth to pay for growth). Absent such charges, existing
customers would be required to bear the burden of all capital costs, including capacity-
related costs, through rates. Consequently, new customers would receive the benefit of
sewer availability, without themselves paying for that capacity.
Similar to the District's sewer service charges, the base CFCC is equal to the capital costs
required to support the wastewater flows and loadings estimated for an average 3-bedroom
single-family residence, or per Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU). Other residential rates are
calculated relative to this base charge, based upon the assumed flows and loading.
Commercial and industrial CFCCs are calculated in units of CFCC per 1,000 square feet.
Permit Users are subject to a supplemental charge based on the expected flows and
loadings in excess of the maximum allowed for under base commercial/industrial CFCCs.
The supplemental charge is equal to the unit cost of flow, BOD, and SS capacity. Permit

H:1Client\Ocsd_PHXWl7408A00\Rpt\Revenue Program & Rate.doc
Book Page 116
22
Users are also subject to increases in CFCCs if flows and/or loadings significantly exceed
the amount of capacity previously allocated and paid for, at the same rate as the
supplemental charges described above.
Pursuant to an agreement with the IRWD, the IRWD is not required to pay Capital Facilities
Capacity Charges. In exchange, the IRWD provides funding to the District for the
construction costs of certain wastewater collection, transmission, treatment, and disposal
facilities to be used by the I RWD and is obligated to make certain payments to the District
for certain services arising from the Wastewater System (including any standby or
availability charges).
5.2 Methodology
The CFCC, as calculated for this study, evaluates future expansion related capital
expenditures only. These costs will be incurred to provide available capacity for new system
users. As expressed in the formula below, the CFCC is calculated by dividing the future
expansion GIP costs by the total number of future connections expressed in EDUs.
5.2.1
CFCC = Cost of Added Capacity with New Facilities
Future Users (EDUs)
Approach and Assumptions
The following assumptions were used in calculating the CFCC alternatives:
• Future Facilities. The cost of future expansion facilities are projected to total $354
million through FY 2020/21, stated in 2006 dollars. The GIP used within this analysis
represents the District's projected expenditures at this point in time.
• Flow and Load Basis. All CFCC calculation alternatives included in this report are
based upon EDU flow of 226 gallons per day (gpd). Strength characteristics are
assumed to equal to 0.45 lb/day BOD and 0.48 lb/day TSS, commensurate with
single-family residential strength assumptions.
• Available Remaining EDUs. The Center for Demographic Research projects the
population with the District's service area to increase from 2.28 million in 2005 to 2.47
million by 2020. This growth rate equates to roughly 78,120 new EDUs through the
planning period ending in FY 2021/22. Additionally, SAWPA is projected to purchase
an additional 4 mgd of treatment capacity, beyond its current 13 mgd ownership. This
additional capacity requirement equates to roughly 14,252 new EDUs. In total, 92,372
new EDU are projected to connect through the planning period.
• Residential and Commercial EDUs. Based upon the District's customer billing
records, approximately 58 percent of the current EDU are residential and 42 percent
are commercial/industrial. This same percentage split between residential and
commercial is assumed to continue for all new EDUs connecting to the wastewater
system.

5.2.2 CFCC Calculation
Allocation to Billable Constituents
The total expansion cost as calculated in the Capital Improvement Program was allocated
to billable constituents -flow, BOD, and TSS. To accomplish this, project expenditures were
assigned to treatment unit processes. Based on the capital allocation for each unit process,
projected expenditures were assigned to the three billable constituent categories. For
example, headwork projects are allocated 75 percent to flow, 5 percent to BOD, and 20
percent to TSS. Consequently, all headwork-related expenditures would be allocated to the
flow, BOD, and TSS according to the same percentages. The allocation percentages for the
headwords and all other unit processes were previously presented in Table 2.4.
Table 5.1 presents the expansion CIP costs breakdown based on the allocation for all
projects.

Percentage 100% 44% 49% 6%
Allocation
These capital expenditures are then allocated to residential and commercial-industrial
customer categories.
Residential users and commercial-industrial users are treated differently on two accounts.
First, residential CFCCs are recovered on an EDU basis. Commercial-industrial CFCCs are
recovered on a 1,000 square foot basis. Additionally, residential users are assumed to be
responsible for a majority of the District's inflow and infiltration (l&I).
During wet weather events, non-point source water enters the wastewater collection system
and must be treated with all other wastewater flows at the treatment facilities. The District
experiences a 2.0 peaking factor during wet weather. Much of the inflow and infiltration (l&I)
enters the sewer system through the laterals connecting users to the collection systems.
Based on the length of the laterals, is assumed that 99.9 percent of the length of the
laterals within the District's service area connect residential units to the sewer system.
The flow cost component of the CFCC is divided by the 2.0 peaking factor. A base line
factor of 1.0 is attributable to treating new wastewater flows discharged by future users.
This cost is allocated between residential and commercial-industrial users based on a pro
rata share of projected wastewater flows -58 percent residential and 42 percent
commercial-industrial. The flow cost component attributable to l&I, or the incremental sizing
DRAFT -April 6, 2006 24
H:\Client\Ocsd_PHXIM740BA00\Rpt\Revenue Program & Rate.doc
Book Page 118
requirements to treat for peak flows (2.0 less the base line of 1.0), is allocated wholly to
residential. Consequently, half of the District's flow-related expansion costs are assumed to
be attributable to providing additional capacity for future users wastewater discharges, and
half of the flow-related costs are assumed to be attributable to providing additional capacity
necessary to treat l&I during wet weather events as new users connect to the system.
The 8.O.D. and T.S.S. cost components are allocated to residential and commercial-
industrial based on a pro rata share of projected loadings.
The allocation of costs is presented in Table 5.2 below. This allocation methodology was
adopted by the District during its last Rate Advisory Committee process.

The CFCC methodology presented within this report reflects an update to the District's
Capital Improvement Program and growth projections only. No change to the CFCC
methodology is proposed.
5.2.3 Supplemental Capital Facilities Capacity Charge
As discussed above, permit users that exceed designated flow and loading discharges are
subject to a supplemental capital facilities capacity charge (SCFCC). The SCFCC is
intended to recover the cost of providing capacity to these customers, not recovered
through the initial CFCC that is imposed upon the industrial user at the time it is connected
to the wastewater system. The initial industrial CFCC is collected at the time of building
permit application, by the local cities and sanitary districts that are tributary to the OCSD
system. It is based on the square footage of the new improvements on the site. Since
there are 23 cities/sanitary districts spread over the 471 square mile OCSD service area,
this is the most expeditious way for both the industry to pay and OCSD to collect the CFCC.
However, since the costs that the CFCC is meant to pay for are incurred and accounted for
based on the flow and strength of the wastewater treated, there has to be an adjustment to
reconcile the difference between the levied square footage charge and the actual costs
incurred that are related to the flow and strength of the treated wastewater. In addition,
industrial users typically have a higher flow and strength wastewater than the initial square
footage charge is meant to compensate for. The SCFCC reconciles these differences. It
is commensurate with a rental rate, in which the user is required to pay an equitable rental
charge for capacity used within the system beyond the initially purchased capacity.
The alternative would be for each industry to apply directly to OCSD for an up-front CFCC
charge based on the anticipated flow and strength of the wastewater that they will
discharge into the system. For an industry that has a high flow and/or strength discharge
into the system, an up front fee could be in the millions of dollars. In addition, since
industrial flows and strengths can vary considerably from year to year, based on the
business climate, an up-front fee would not accurately capture the actual impact on the
system. Thus, most of the time the industry would be either over paying or under paying.
DRAFT -April 6, 2006 26
H:\Client\Ocsd_PHXIM7408A00\Rpt\Revenue Program & Rate.doc
Book Page 120
The SCFCC allows the industry to only pay for the capacity they require and to do it on a
yearly basis. This makes the charge more accurate and reduces the large up-front cash
outlay that would be necessary for a one time CFCC.
The SCFCC is calculated based on the same methodology as the CFCC. The District's
total projected expansion related capital expenditures are divided by the total number of
future EDUs served with the expansion the wastewater system. These costs are then
amortized over a thirty-year period at a 5 percent interest rate. Finally, amortized costs are
divided by the base flow and loadings contributed per EDU. The SCFCC calculation is
shown in Table 5.5. Like the CFCC this is a significant increase over the current SCFCC.
The increase reflects the update to the District's CIP, which includes shifts in costs, the
flow, 8.0.D., and T.S.S.

This analysis assumes that the CFCC and SCFCC will be escalated each year to reflect the
current value of the facilities or the current cost of capital projects. The District can apply an
annual cost escalator based on such commonly accepted price indicators as the
Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index for Los Angeles, or the Consumer Price
Index (CPI).
