SUBJECT: WORKSHOP ON WATER RECLAMATION PROJECTS/ISSUES
DATE: MARCH 11, 1999
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council provide direction to staff.
FUNDING:
There are no funding impacts at this time.
BACKGROUND:
On July 14, 1998, the Council considered a staff recommended program to revise the
City's current water neutralization policy. Part of the proposed program established an in-
lieu fee to allow ease of administration and less processing time for projects. As part of the
program, a list of specific supplemental water projects needs to be identified.
Potential projects include those intended to provide for the reclamation of water currently
being discharged to the ocean to replenish groundwater as well as harvesting of
underground fresh water sources.
On December 10, 1998 a Council workshop was scheduled to discuss reclamation issues
with representatives from the South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District and County
staff operating Lopez Reservoir to review projects currently in development or discuss new
projects that might be appropriate for applying any fees received from the City's program.
The meeting, however, was canceled due to a lack of a quorum.
Messrs Wallace and Boyd will make presentations regarding their respective reclamation
efforts.
Water reclamation projects that the Council considers appropriate may be used in
formulating the permanent water neutralization program.

WATEREUSE FACT SHEET
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS WATER RECYCLING?
The California Water Code defines recycled water as "water which, as a result of treatment of
waste, is suitable for a direct beneficial use or a controlled use that would not otherwise occur."
In keeping with Water Code provisions prohibiting the waste of water, recycling allows water
managers to match water quality to specific reuse applications. This reduces the amount of
fresh water required for non-potable uses, ensuring that the best and purest sources of water
will be reserved for the highest use - public drinking water.
WHY IS WATER RECYCLING IMPORTANT?
Water is in short supply in California. Most of the State's developed water is transported frdm
water-rich rural mountain areas for use in Central Valley agriculture and the urban areas of San
Francisco Bay and Southern California. This dependency on imported water, coupled with the
occurrence of drought, makes future water supp.l.Y- reliability a concern. Water conservation
efforts help, but are not enough. The Department of Water Resources estimates that the State
will need to increase its water supply by 3 to 5 mi"lIion acre-feet per year by the year 2020.
Water recycling is an important part of increased reliability. One acre-foot of water is enough to
meet the needs of two families for a year. Each acre-foot of potable water replaced by recycled
water helps extend the local supply and helps "drought proof" the community.
WHAT MAJOR LAWS REGULATE THE TREATMENT AND USE OF
RECYCLED WATER?
In California, the State Water Resources Control Board regulates the production, conveyance,
and use of recycled water through its nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards. The State
Department of Health Services regulates the level of treatment through California Administrative
Code Title 22. Local health agencies help enforce these requirements, which are among the
most stringent in the world.
WHAT IS THE QUALITY OF RECYCLED WATER?
The final use of the water dictates how much additional treatment is required over and above the
baseline treatment required for discharge into a waterway. Recycled water that has the greatest
potential for human contact must have the highest level of treatment and reliability. Treatment
requirements are less intense for non-potable uses where human contact is less likely to occur.
How IS RECYCLED WATER TREATED?
Wastewater goes through primary, secondary and advanced tertiary treatment at reclamation
plants. During primary treatment, large solids are removed. Secondary treatment uses bacteria
to remove approximately 9q..98 percent of the remaining solids and organic material. Tertiary
treatment employs filtration to remove any remaining solids and uses a disinfectant, such as
chlorine, to destroy bacteria, viruses and other pathogens. For many reuse applications, an
advanced treatment process, such as filtration or reverse osmosis, is required. These processes
duplicate nature's own purifying actions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (CONTINUED)
,
How IS RECYCLED WATER USED?
California isa pioneer in the field of water recycling. Successful projects exist for practically any
type of reuse imaginable. Landscape irrigation has been practiced for more than 50 years, and
recreational uses and industrial recycling are also common. Agricultural irrigation, always an ,
important reuse for forage crops, has expanded in recent years as a result of major studies dem-
onstrating that tertiary treated water is safe for raw-eaten (uncookea) crops. There are many
examples of recycled water being used to support and enhance aquatic habitat, fish and wildlife.
ARE RECYCLED SUPPLIES KEPT SEPARATE FROM DRINKING WATER?
Yes. Standard practice requires separate pipes for drinking water and recycled water. Guidelines
set by the Department of Health Services ensure that recycled water facilities are clearly distin-
guishable from other water facilities to avoid mixing of supplies. Pipes are made of purple material,
and labeled with the words "Recycled Water - Do Not Drink." .
Is RECYCLED WATER SAFE TO DRINK?
Indirect potable reuse occurs in many communities as recycled water from an upstream community
rejoins a river and becomes part of a downstream water supply. In addition, several milestone
groundwater recharge projects in Southern California have an excellent track record of success,
with over 30 years of history and no outbreaks of water-borne disease linked to recycled water.
Through groundwater recharge, recycled water is percolated into groundwater basins, mixes with
naturally-occurring groundwater, and eventually is pumped out for domestic use. The next step,
using recycled water to augment surface water supplies, has occurred in several areas in the
United States and abroad. Recycled water currently supplements supplies in Virginia, and San
Diego is developing a project to produce repurified water to supplement imported water in a local
storage reservoir. Treatment technologies are constantly improving, and indirect potable reuse is
likely to become a well accepted part of future water supply planning.
WHAT IS THE COST OF RECYCLED WATER?
Costs vary depending on the type of project being developed, the degree of treatment required,
and the proximity of the water treatment plant to the location where the recycled water will be
used. Many agencies have been resourceful in obtaining federal, state, and local grants and/or
low-interest loans that help defray the cost of the recycled water and make it more competitive
with other sources. However, the cost of producing recycled water is frequently a deterrent to
developing a successful project. This is likely to change in the future because recycled water is
becoming more competitive with the cost of other new water supplies.

... : 't~~loams and intricate water delivery systems play an important role in sustaining the growing

,.its major w~r supply systems. Between now and the year 2020, California's population is expected to

.
restore and preserve our aquatic ecosystems by allowing larger volumes of water to remain within the
banks of the streams plunging down from the Sierra Mountains and all the way out to sea.
The fastest growing water supply in California is recycled water. In fact, California stands at the
forefront of the water recycling movement in the United States. This year alone, enough water will be
recycled to meet the needs of over 2 million people. In addition to the 250 water recycling systems
currently operating in the state, 165 new projects are in the works. By 2010, enough water will be
recycled to meet the needs of 5 million people.
Current and planned usage of recycled water includes irrigation of a wide variety of crops and
ornamental landscapes, wildlife and fisheries enhancement, industrial supply, groundwater recharge
and many more innovative and creative applications. Industries with names like Gallo, Korbel, Wente,
Chevron, Mobil and Bethlehem Steel, to name a few, all rely on recycled water for their water supply
needs. A winner of thoroughbred horse racing's premier event, the Kentucky Derby, was raised on a
California pasture irrigated with recycled water. The 4gers training field in Santa Clara is irrigated with
recycled water. Water recycling is very much alive and well from Santa Rosa to the Mexican Border and
from the Sierra foothills to the Pacific Ocean.
The recent surge in water recycling activity can be attributed to improvements in technology,
strong public acceptance and greater recognition of the economic, social and environmental benefits of
recycling. Experience, innovation and creativity have greatly expanded the utility and acceptance of
recycled water. Community leaders recognize that recycled water presents an opportunity to enhance
the reliability of local water resources and strengthen the local economy.

WATEREUSE FACT SHEET
TITLE 22, HEALTH AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
With the adoption of the Porter-Cologne Act in 1969, the Legislature declared its intent to "un-
dertake all possible steps to encourage development o.(water recycling facilities." Although
water recycling and reuse projects operated successfully before that time, laws enacted in 1969
set forward a basic structure for water reuse projects that has been in place for nearly 30 years.
The California Water Code articulates a clearly-defined strategy favoring the beneficial reuse of
water to the maximum extent practical. Under this structure of laws and administrative regula-
tions,. the California Department of Health Services (DHS) is responsible for the adoption of
regulations for the use Qf recycled water. The California Regional Water Quality Control Boards
issue requirements for individual projects in conformance with the regulations adopted by DHS.
HIGHEST TREATMENT FOR THE HIGHEST USE
.
DHS establishes water quality standards and treatment reliability criteria for water recycling
under Title 22, Chapter 4, of the California Code of Regulations. Requirements for a use of
recycled water not addressed by the uniform statewide criteria are established by DHS on a
case-by-case basis. The table called "Recycled Water Uses Allowed in California" illustrates the
wide variety of successful reuse applications and the level of treatment required.
Titre 22 sets bacteriological water quality standards on the basis of the expected degree of
public contact with recycled water. For water reuse applications with a high potential for the
public to come in contact with the reclaimed water, Title 22 requires disinfected tertiary treat-
ment. For applications with a lower potential for public contact, Title 22 requires three levels of
secondary treatment, basically differing by the amount of disinfection required.
OTHER HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTECTIONS
In addition to establishing recycled water quality standards, Title 22 specifies the reliability and
redundancy for each recycled water treatment and use operation. Treatment plant design must
allow for efficiency and convenience in operation and maintenance and provide the highest
possible degree of treatment under varying circumstances. For recycled water piping, DHS has
requirements for preventing backflow of recycled water into the public water system and for
avoiding cross-connection between the recycled and potable water systems.
Other regulations include the Uniform Plumbing Code, which contains requirements for the
installation, construction, alteration, and repair of reclaimed water systems intended to supply
toifets, urinals, and trap primers for floor drains and floor .sinks. Use of recycled water for these
applications is limited to non-residential buildings. The California-Nevada Section of the American
Water Works Association has issued guidelines for planning, designing, constructing, and operat-
ing recycled water systems. These guidelines provide essential design criteria and specifications
for the construction of transmission, storage, pumping, and other facilities. Also incl~ded is a
description of system operation and maintenance requirements pursuant to applicable state
regulations.

WATEREUSE FACT SHEET
PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH
Studies over the past two decades have shown increasingly positive public attitudes about water
recycling. This is particularly true in areas where use of recycled water has been an ongoing
practice. The higher the level of familiarity with the subject, the more favorable the response.
Without public acceptance, it would be difficult for any local government or special district to
site, finance, construct, and operate a water recycling project. This Fact Sheet summarizes the
"who, what, when, and how" involved with pUblic education and outreach programs.
WHEN SHOULD A PUBLIC EDUCATION PROGRAM BE INITIATED?
People tend to favor water recycling projects if they are informed in advance. Thus, a public
education and outreach program should be implemented early in the planning process. An .
effective strategy is to establish an early customer base, i.e., users of the recycled water, to
help generate project understanding and support. In addition to the initial public education and
outreach program, an ongoing availability of information will help respond to public inquiry.
WHAT ARE KEY ISSUES OF CONCERN?
Water recycling projects will frequently raise many, and in some cases all, of the
following issues:
· Facility siting
. Environmental impacts
. Quality of recycled water and specific use
. Safety of operation and protection of public health
. Cost, allocation, and financing
. Construction impacts
. Customer acceptance of products produced with recycled water
How CAN THE PUBLIC BE INVOLVED?
To build strong support, it helps to go beyond the public involvement requirements of
the state and federal environmental review process. To supplement participation through public
hearings and review, it is a good strategy for the agency sponsoring the water recycling project
to establish a Customer Forum and/or a Community Task Force. By being proactive and by
getting a head start on public involvement, it will be possible to identify and address
users' concerns, to design a project which best meets the community's needs, and to develop
community advocates.

PUBLIC EDUCATION AND 'OUTREACH (CONTINUED)
To WHOM SHOULD THE PUBLIC EDUCATION EFFORT BE DIRECTED'?
A new water recycling project is typically intended to extend the community's water supply. This-
and the environmental benefits frequently associated with water reuse - provide an ideal founda-
tion upon which to build a public education and outreach program. To reach the public, the
project proponent needs to determine the appropriate target audiences. Obviously, the public at
large is the ultimate audience. However, it may be more effective and efficient to reach the
public through the media, elected officials, schools and various interest groups and community
leaders. Selecting the most appropriate target audience for each project is critical to the ulti-
mate success of the program.
WHAT ARE THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF A PUBLIC EDUCATION
PROGRAM'?
A number of ingredients can be a part of a successful public education program, including .
written materials (brochures, fact sheets, lists of experts, bibliographies/article reprints,
Internet sites); community outreach (briefings for elected officials, presentations before affected
communities, school programs, speakers' bureaus); ,media liaison (press releases, pUblic
service announcements, editorial board meetings); and special activities (videos, slide presenta-
tions, 1-800 number with interactive message, and events such as groundbreaking ceremonies,
openings, and awards ceremonies). The particular components will be determined in part, by the
requirements of the project, and the budget available. One of the most successful ways to
develop public acceptance is to point to existing projects with a track record of success. By
actually seeing and learning about efficiently-operated reclamation treatment plants and properly-
used recycled water, the public will gain a better understanding of, and willingness to support
current and future water recycling projects.
WHO SHOULD CONDUCT A PUBLIC EDUCATION PROGRAM'?
Some of the larger agencies have established in-house public information offices with talented
individuals and adequate resources dedicated to maintaining liaison with their communities.
Other agencies, particularly those just starting their water reuse projects, choose to hire special-
ists in public affairs and public relations. Either way, it should be recognized that there is a
wealth of experience among the California water and wastewater managers who have already
succeeded with excellent public education programs. These agencies are typically willing to
share their experiences and the materials they have developed with other public entities. Agen-
cies wanting information about whom to contact should consult the WateReuse expert list, which
can provide names of individuals whose successful experiences "match" the specific require-
ments of the new water recycling project being considered.

WATEREUSE FACT SHEET
INDIRECT POTABLE REUSE
For more than 50 years, California has been a pioneer in water recycling. Advances in technology
and new philosophies about pre-venting the "waste" of water have combined to make water
recycling an increasingly important part of water resources planning. The next challenge is to
expand the existing uses of recycled water to encompass potable reuse (drinking, cooking, and
bathing). Direct potable reuse - where the product water is released into a municipal distribution
system immediately after treatment - is practiced only in Windhoeck, Namibia at this time and is
probably far in the future in the U.S. However, indirect potable reuse is more widely practiced
and becoming more accepted. The following paragraphs provide an overview of the principles
involving indirect potable reuse.
WHAT Is INDIRECT POTABLE REUSE?
.
With indirect potable reuse, a highly treated recycled water is returned to the natural environ-
ment (groundwater reservoir, storage reservoir, or stream) and mixes with other waters for an
extended period of time. Then, the blended water is diverted to a water treatment plant for
sedimentation, filtration and disinfection before it is distributed. The mixing and travel time
through the natural environment provide several benefits: (1) sufficient time to assure that the
treatment system has performed as designed, with no failures, (2) opportunity for additional
treatment through natural processes such as sunlight and filtration through soil, and (3) in-
creased public confidence that the water source is safe. Unplanned indirect potable reuse is
occurring in virtually every major river system in the United States today.
WHAT TECHNOLOGY Is USED To TREAT WATER FOR INDIRECT
POTABLE REUSE?
Membrane treatment is the most advanced technology for removal of the tiniest particles -
including small ions such as sodium and chloride - from the recycled water. The most common
membrane process employed is reverse osmosis (RO). Under relatively high pressure, water is
forced across the semi-permeable RO membranes in special vessels to produce nearly pure
water. Impurities are collected in a separate brine stream for disposal.
How PROVEN Is INDIRECT POTABLE REUSE?
The Denver Water Board, with assistance from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, con-
ducted an intensive study of potable reuse, using a one million gallon per day pilot plant for five
years. Several combinations of treatment processes were tested, and potable water was pro-
duced and analyzed for nearly all known contaminants. In addition, feeding studies were per-
formed on rats and mice. Over several generations, rats and mice were given recycled water
concentrates, while similar control groups were given water concentrates from the snowmelt
from the highest peaks of the Rocky Mountains. No significant health differences were found
between the two groups.
(916) 442.2746 . www.watereuse.org/h2o
INDIRECT POTABLE REUSE (CONTINUED)
WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF INDIRECT POTABLE REUSE?
For more than 20 years, the Upper Occoquan Sewage Authority (UOSA) Regional Water Reclama-
tion Plant has been discharging to the Occoquan Reservoir, a principal water supply source for
approximately one million people in northern Virginia. Because of the plant's reliable, state-of-
the-art performance and the high-quality water produced, regulatory authorities have endorsed
UOSA plant expansion over the years to increase the safe yield of the reservoir. UOSA recycled
water is now an integral part of the water supply plans for the Washington metropolitan area.
Other major projects with proven track records are in Los Angeles County and Orange County,
California, and in EI Paso, Texas. After decades of research, pilot studies, and demonstration,
the City of San Diego is designing a 20-mgd indirect potable reuse project.
WHAT ARE THE REGULATORY CONTROLS FOR INDIRECT
POTABLE REUSE?
.
A basic regulatory structure for water recycling and reuse projects has been in place in California
since 1969. However, projects involving indirect potable reuse were traditionally evaluated on a
case-by-case basis, making it difficult to plan for this type of water recycling application. A
breakthrough occurred in January 1996 when a regulatory framework for potable reuse was
adopted by a Committee convened jointly by California's Department of Health Services and
Department of Water Resources. Eighteen individuals, representing these Departments and
major water supply and sanitation organizations, signed the framework. The framework estab-
lishes six criteria that must be met before a potable reuse project proceeds. With these "ground
rules" in place, agencies will find it easier to evaluate the feasibility of implementing an indirect
potable reuse project.
WHAT ARE MULTIPLE BARRIERS?
One of the most important concepts contributing to the growing acceptance of indirect potable
reuse is that of multiple barrier protection. While RO is the heart of a potable reuse process,
several other treatment processes are normally added to provide as near a fail-safe system as
humanly possible. Primary and secondary treatment, dual media filtration, chemical additions,
disinfection, and pretreatment are provided prior to the RO step. Each of these treatment steps
removes a certain portion of the initial concentration of microorganisms and pollutants in the
water. Additional removal capabilities follow. this combined treatment capability not only adds up
to an impressive cleansing power, but also act as back-ups to one another in case any step in
the system fails to perform. Storage is also viewed as an important barrier to contaminants. In
addition to multiple-treatment processes, multiple barrier protections also include source control
programs (preventing introduction of pollutants at the source) and strict operations and mainte-
nance procedures.

SUBJECT: WATER DEMAND NEUTRALIZATION POLICIES/PROGRAMS FOR NEW
DEVELOPMENT
~
DATE: JULY 14, 1998
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve, in concept, the revised water
neutralization program and direct staff to return with specific measures to implement the
program.
FUNDING:
Not applicable at the present time; however, the proposed water neutralization program
modifies the City's fee structure to provide funding for future water projects. Studies must
be undertaken to establish the amount of an in-lieu fee. The cost of such studies will be
a component of the in-lieu fee and will be recovered through collection of the fee.
BACKGROUND:
Since February 1992, discretionary development projects have been required to mitigate
increased water demand above historical usage to ensure an adequate water supply. A
standard mitigation measure has been included in the conditions of approval for each
project, requiring the applicant to submit, for review and approval by the City Council, an
individual water program that will neutralize projected water demand for the proposed
project.
Mitigation of additional water usage above historical levels has been required for
approximately 20 developments since 1992. Approximately 100 acre feet per year (AFY)
of additional water usage has been "neutralized" through project requirements.
Water Sources
The City of Arroyo Grande relies upon local groundwater and surface water stored in Lopez
Reservoir. The Arroyo Grande Sub-basin lies within the larger Tri-Cities Groundwater
Basin which in turn is geologically connected as part of the Santa Maria Groundwater
Basin. In addition to the City's allocation of the Arroyo Grande Groundwater Basin, Well

#9 pumps from the Pismo formation and is able to produce 100 acre feet per year.
Although not to be included in the City's reliable long term sources, surplus water from
Lopez Reservoir is available on an average of 500 acre feet peryear.
Water releases from Lopez Reservoir serve the cities of Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach,
Pismo Beach, the Oceano Community Services District, and CSA No. 12 (serving the Avila
Beach CSD and the adjoining area). In addition to the 4,595 acre feet of water released
for the above entities, approximately 4,200 acre feet of water is available for release into
the Arroyo Grande Creek for downstream vested interests and groundwater recharge. .
Development Potential
The further development of the City is currently being studied as part of the General Plan
Update. Current figures indicate that the buildout population will be approximately 18,700.
At the present time, the City has 927 new dwelling units either approved (483) or in
process (444). Two hundred twelve (212) units of the 927 units pending approval are
proposed increases to the existing General Plan density and are likely to require water
quantities above historical usage. If so, these units are subject to a water neutralization
program.
Water Neutralization Alternatives
The present procedure: At the present time development is being conditioned to mitigate
its increased water usage above historical levels for the site. For example, if a duplex is
proposed where only one single family residence existed before, the mitigation requirement
is equivalent to the amount of water projected to be used by the proposed duplex minus
the existing water usage. Developers are required to submit a "water neutralization" plan
indicating how they will make up the difference in usage. Overwhelmingly, this
neutralization involves some type of retrofit program. Staff reviews these plans and
submits them to Council for final approval. Projects with approved plans are permitted
through the Building Division and inspected for compliance once completed.
Local Programs
Many other local agencies require water neutralization using various methods. Some of
the methods utilized are:
-mandatory retrofit for any increased usage (City of San Luis Obispo) at a two for one
offset. This means that any new development (even a ministerial building permit or
proposed development in conformance with the City's general plan) must offset its
calculated water use by twice that amount. It is estimated that a developer must retrofit
WATER DEMAND NEUTRALIZATION POLICIES/PROGRAMS
FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT

approximately 10 to 12 single family residences to obtain enough water savings for each
new unit. The costs are estimated to be approximately $3,500 to $4,500 for the necessary
retrofits to gain each new unit. This approach is similar to Arroyo Grande in that there is
no in-lieu fee and retrofit is the primary method of gaining compliance.
-retrofit fee (City of Grover Beach). The City of Grover Beach has calculated a fee of
$1 ,936 for new development based on retrofitting enough water to provide a one for one
offset. The fee is paid to the City which then hires contractors to retrofit residences and
businesses that have signed up for low flow fixtures. All residential development is
. required to pay the fee; however; commercial development is exempt.
SUMMARY:
-Based on available data, the City's water supply is sufficient for its projected usage at
build out and provides enough water for development in accordance with the City's adopted
General Plan.
- The dependable yield of the groundwater basin is currently being studied by the County,
and a draft report from the Department of Water Resources is under review and comment.
It is uncertain whether that report will conclude that the City's existing groundwater
allocation under the "Gentlemen's Agreement" will continue at its existing level. If an
overdraft is determined, then calculations for. water supply and demand should be revised.
- The present water neutralization program imposed upon development by the City is
difficult to administer. This requires review by the City staff of the data and method used
to calculate the amount to be neutralized as well as confirming that all of the items listed
in the plan have been completed.
-A simple approach providing for an "in-lieu" water neutralization fee would be preferable
to the existing system.
-Water consumption can be related to a fee which can then be used for water projects or
to retrofit businesses and residences wishing to install water conserving fixtures in existing
units.
RECOMMENDED PROGRAM:
Because existing development has relied upon the City's past actions to provide a reliable
water supply for General Plan buildout, it would be appropriate to allow that development
to continue without extraordinary water neutralization requirements. However, it is
recommended any water usage above historical usage continue to be mitigated.
Furthermore, it is recommended that an in-lieu fee can be established to allow for ease of
administration and less processing time. It is anticipated that a fee, based on fees
currently being collected by other agencies, could be approximately $2,000 to $3,000 per
equivalent single family dwelling unit. This proposed fee will need to be refined and
supported with standardized water use factors and calculations in compliance with the
Mitigation Fee Act (AB 1600) before being incorporated into an ordinance. Also, any such
fee must be indexed for inflation. As water studies are concluded which better refine the
WATER DEMAND NEUTRALIZATION POLICIES/PROGRAMS
FOR NEW DEVELOPMENt
JULY 14, 1998
PAGE 4
amount of the City's water supply, further adjustments to this program can be implemented.
The recommended program will not negatively impact staff workload since it is anticipated
that time spent on administration of the new program will be equivalent or less than the
workload under the existing program.
Potential projects for the City administered program could include installation of a grey
water pipe to be connected to an upstream point of the Arroyo Grande Creek to replenish
groundwater and harvesting of underground fresh water sources immediately off shore.
Another program could involve the City's Redevelopment Agency. The Agency is required .
to assist low and moderate income residents/families with various housing needs.
Coupling the water mitigation in-lieu fees with the Agency's housing set-aside funds, the
Agency could develop a program to retrofit/re-plumb low and moderate income housing to
promote water conservation efforts.
Based on an average fee of $2,200 per equivalent single family dwelling unit, the 212
dwelling units in process, which are above the existing General Plan density and likely
require an increase in water above historical usage, would generate a total of $466,400.
This amount would fall short of funding required for the large scale projects. However, this
program could be combined with Water Facilities funds (640) as a way of meeting the fiscal
requirements of larger projects. The Water Facilities Fund will have an estimated fund
balance of $2,885,137 as of June 30, 1998.
For those projects currently in the pipeline and subject to the existing water neutralization
mitigation program, staff is recommending, until a new program/policy is in place, project
proponents be given the option to continue under the existing program (Le. developer
proposed program for retrofitting approved by the Council) or the developer can offer a
cash deposit of $2,200 per unit with the understandfng that if the final fee is less, a refund
of the difference will be made.
Alternatives
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
1. Continue the existing program that requires the developer to neutralize increased water
usage above historical usage.
2. Direct staff to develop a program for water neutralization of all new development with
water requirements in excess of historical usage. The program will allow
developer/applicant the option to pay a fee or develop their own plan for water
neutralization.
3. Continue to explore other options.
4. Provide direction to staff.

CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
WATER USE OFFSETS
.
January 1996
Purpose
Water use offsets are intended to allow development which will not increase City water use and
to encourage water savings which otherwise would not occur. They are a way to comply with
the City's Water Allocation Regulations (Municipal Code Chapter 17.89), which aim for a
balance between normal levels of water demand and the amount of supply the City can count on
during droughts. .
.-
Overview & Relationship to Other Programs
The Water Allocation Regulations allow you to build a project when no water allocations are
available, if you make changes in existing development that will permanently reduce water use
equal to twice the water allocation you would need. For example, if you want to build a single-
family residence on a 6,000 square-foot lot, you need an allocation of 0.30 acre-foot annual
water use. To build without a water allocation, you wol:1~~ .h~Y~Jo.i~_s.~~pe.rf!1.an.ent..wa~er.:-___ .
saving features that would reduce water use in existing development by 2 X 0.30 = 0.60 acre-
foot. Replacing or modifying plumbing fixtures so they will use less water is cal~~.
"retrofitting. "
The City gives rebates to water customers who perform certain retrofits. However, retrofits
receiving rebates are not eligible for offset credits toward new development. Certain retrofits
are required when property is sold, remodeled, or changed to another type of use. Those
retrofits can be counted as offsets toward new development, or they may be eligible for rebates,
but not both.
Calculations
The first step is determining the amount of offset required for your project. The City has.
prepared a schedule of "Water Use Factors." These factors are intended to reflect average water
use over the life of a project. All quantities are expressed in acre-feet annual water use, usually
rounded to the nearest one-hundredth acre-foot. The water use factors give the quantity of acre-
feet for each dwelling, or for each 1,000 squ~e feet of gross building area for most
nonresidential projects. For a few types of development, water use correlates more closely with
site area, so the factors relate to acreage. Staff will determine the most appropriate factor. If
a factor has not been determined for your particular type of development, staff will prepare an
estimate based on metered water use of similar types of development in the City (or elsewhere,
if no such use exists within the City). The normal factors can be reduced if you demonstrate
a history of lower usage in a similar project, or that your project will use less City water
, because it will include special water recycling or reuse features. When a project will replace
other uses or buildings on a site, credit is given for the highest type of water usage established
on the site since January 1, 1987, according to the water use factors.
Once the required allocation is known, you double it to find the required offset.
To find out the amount of credit for retrofits, see the following tables and forms. Not;all toilets
are labelled with. their flow rate. If it is not practical for you to check the ones you propose to
retrofit by flushing and refilling them with a container, City- staff will complete the credit
calculations as inspections are done.
Procedures
A retrofit proposal must be for a particular type of project and a specific site. Once the offset
credit has been earned, changing the ownership of the site or the details of the project will not
affect the offset credit that has been earned. Once the offset credit is earned for a specific site,
it can be transferred to another site only if both sites are owned by the same party at the time
of the transfer and the credit will be applied to a similar project. >>
.-
To assure you receive the proper credit, you must have a proposal on file at the City and arrange
the necessary City inspections. You may start retrofitting before you apply for planning or
building project approvals. You may start retrofitting before your proposal file lists all the
places you will need. (On projects with multiple building permits, your file can act as an offset
account, with credits earned as retrofits are completed and debits made as building permits are
issued.) There is no time limit for completing the retrofits. However, the City cannot issue the
building permit for your project until you complete the required amount of retrofitting, and the
City has insp~ted and approved the w_~r~.' ._...._.____.__.__ ____.._ _ .... _. .. _ .. _ _ __'__'__ ---....
.- -, . .... .
Describe the specific water-saving changes when you make a retrofit proposal, as shown on the.
following forms. City staff will then check to see that the existing features are as you describe' -
them. You also must have the property owner's written permission to do the retrofit.
. .
Arrange City inspections of each retrofit before and after the work is done. The places to be
inspected must be accessible by the inspector at the scheduled time. To arrange inspections,
contact the Utilities Conservation Office (805 781-7217). In large complexes, spot-checks can
be arranged. Usually, inspections can be done within one working day of the request.
Fees and Costs
The City charges $50 for the overall proposal, plus $10 for-each location tobe inspected, which -
must be paid before inspections are done. Projects which complete offsets pay a smaller "water
impact feell than otherwise would be required. You cannot pay fees to the City in place of doing
the retrofits. The City is not party to any financial or liability arrangements between the Qwner
or occupant of the property being retrofitted and the person doing the retrofitting or rece.iving
the credit. Like any construction' or maintenance work, you may want to get bids from several
qualified people. Check with the Building Division (805 781-718m concerning impact fees.
Permits
Plumbing permits are not required to change toilets, showerheads, or faucet aerators: They may (
be required if the retrofit is part of a larger remode11ing, if the work involves pipes in walls or
under floors, or if commercial or industrial equipment is involved. Cheek with the Building
Division (805781-7180) to see if a permit is required. .
,., - . . ~
Who Can Do the Work
Anyone can replace toilets, showerheads, and faucet aerators'. 'There are advantages to using
a licensed contractor, and such contractors may be required for other types of retrofits.
What CaD Get Credit
You may propose any change which will permanently reduce water use. The City will
determine the amount of water savings. The City has prepared schedules of offset credits for
common retrofit situations (following tables 2-A, 2-B and 3). Note that some types of
retrofitting may be more cost effective than others.
.
When retrofitting a dwelling, a motel unit, or an office suite, you must retrofit each toileLand
shower, and each sink other than a laundry sink, which does not already meet minimum City
standards for water' efficiency'. The offset credit for a unit will not be reduced from that shown
in the schedules if the shower heads or sink faucets are already low-flow. You will not be
required to replace the whole sink if that's the only way to make it low-flow. Flow restrictors
and aerators are generally ,sufficient for sink faucets. Shower heads must be replaced; flow
restrictors alone are not acceptable. Toilets (tank plus bowl) must be replaced; bricks, bottles,
bending the float arm, or adjustable float devices are not acceptable. Urinal retrofits may be a
valve change or replacement. You must also check for and repair any leaks in the watersystem'---
on the customer's side of the water meter.
After inspecting, the City may find that a proposal cannot be given the amount of credit listed
on the proposal form because the existing or new fixtures are not as described. You may want
to find a few more retrofit locations than you think you will need, in case problems arise. If
it turns out that you do not need the additional locations, you need not complete their
retrofitting.
Generally, new toilets cannot exceed 1.6 gallons per flush. However, where sewer lateral slope
or alignment is substandard, 5-gallon toilets can be replaced with 3.5-gallon toilets for some
credit. Contact staff for details.
The City does not give offset credit for changes to irrigation systems or planting, because
landscape water use is so dependent on the habits and preferences of the people maintaining the
landscaping, and the planting can easily be changed.
Finding Places to Retrofit
You must find the piaces to be retrofitted. (Some people who do the fixture replacement as a
business also will find the places to retrofit and take care of the City forms and inspections.)
The Utilities Conservation Office (805 781-7217) can help you find places to retrofit.

MEMORANDUM
)ATE: l!arch 22, 1989
~E : ADJUSTMENT TO RETROFIT FORMULA ..
fhe retrofit formula (below) which provides a per fixture savings, is based
on the asumption that utilizing the formula provides a 2:1 savings.
The 1988 Annual Water Report states that the savings which is shown to
occur is slightly less than1:l.
The city Council Resolution No. 14-89 (attached) requires that retrofit
achieve a 1:5.1 savings.
~
The formula which establishes the savings per fixture. therefore, w.Lll need
to be adjusted to allow for this savings.
If the current formula achieves aproximately a 1:1 rather than a 2:1
savings. the savings per fixture is actually 1/2 of the current amount
stated. Please note the following formula change:
Previous New
1) new toilet with 3.5 gallons or less flush .07(equiv) .035
2) second toilet/ same residence .03 .015
3) new showerhead with 3.0 gpm- or less .07 .035
4) second showerhead/ same residence .02 .01
5) new lavatory/2.75 gpm- or less .02 .01
6) second lavatory/same residence .005 .0025
7) new kitchen sink with'2.75 gpm or less .01 .005.

(reflects the exchange of all fixtures within .17 .085
a 1 bath home)
- gallons per minute
Under the current formula an applicant was required to retrofit as many
fixtures as necessary to show a savings of 2. This required aprox~matelY
10 to 12 h~mes for a full retrofit depending on the number of ~lxtures
exchanged and 4-6 homes under the blend, with the City allocatln~ .50
pipeline equivalency.

emo - Retrofit
age Two
nder the modified formula ~ full retrofit would require the exchange of
ixtures in aproximately 14-18. homes "depending on the number of fixtures
~changed to reach the required savings of 1:1.5.
4 x .1125 = 1.57 (2 bath home) .
.8 x .085 = 1.53 (1 bath home) Note: a combination of 1 and 2 bath homes
will alter the number of homes to be done.
Jnder the Blend program the City shall allocate .50 equivalency or 1}2 of
:he 1.00 equivalency required for single family residential constructio~.
~nd the applicant shall achieve the remaining .50 equivalency through the
~etrofit program at a 1:1.5 ratio, ie: .50 x 1.5 = .75 equivalenc~. This
~ould involve retrofitting aproximately 7-9 homes.
2 bath home: 7 x .1125 = .787
1 bath home: 9 x .085 = .765
.
.
.f.
RETROFIT FORMULA FOR CALCULATING WATER SAVINGS UNDER RETROFIT
Use the following formula for estimating water equivalencies.
- new toilet with 3.5 g~llons or less/flush = .035 equiv.
- second new toilet in the same residence = .015 equiv.
- new showerhead with 3.0 gpm~ or less = .035 equiv.
- second new showerhead in the same residence = .01 equiv.
- new lavatory/ 2.75 gpm or less = .01 equiv.
..
- second new lavatory/same residence = .0025 equiv.
- new kitchen sink with 2.75 gpm or less = .005
Use the following formulas for fixtures which save more than
those listed above (eg: 1.5 gallon/flush toilet):
- for new toilet: (.035)+ [A-B-1. 5) x ( . 03)] =
- for second toilet: + .015
- for new showerhead: (.035)+[(A-B-2)x(.02)] =
- for second showerhead: +.01
- for new lavatory: (.01)+((A-B-2.5)x(.008)] =
- for second new lavatory: .0025
- for kitchen sink: (.005)+((A-B-2.5)x(.004)] =
Where A= flow rate or capacity of old fixture to be replaced (eg:
5.0 gallon/flush or 5.0 gallons/minu~e flow) and where B= flovv
rate or capacity of the new fixture to be installed (eg: 1.5
gallons/flush or' 1.25 gaITOns/minute flow).
FULL RETROFIT MUST SAVE A TOTAL .OF 1.5
BLEND PROGRAM MUST SAVE A TOTAL OF .75
NOTES: No additional credit is given for additional toilets,
showers or lavatories beyond 2! however ALL of. each
type of fixture must be retrofltted to ge~redlt for
any of . that type of fixture (eg: all toilets must be
retrofitted or no credit for any toilets).

POLICIES/PROGRAMS FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT
Staff comments and recommended action: Staff said any water usage above
historical usage should continue to be mitigated, and that an in-lieu fee should be
established for all new development to allow for ease of administration and less
processing time. Staff recommended that Council approve, in concept, the
revised water neutralization program and direct staff to return with specific
measures to implement the program.
After being assured that the Public Hearing had been duly published and all legal
requirements met, Mayor Dougall declared the hearing open and said all persons
would be heard regarding the matter.
The following members of the public spoke to the Council on this matter:
Kirk Scott of 520 Via Vaquero
When no one further came forward to speak, the Mayor closed the hearing to the
floor.
Council discussion: Council Members said the fee should be assessed with no
option; the program should follow the General Plan; the City should not trade
dollars for gallons; the City should join with other cities in a water reclamation
program or a program to replenish the underground water; an incentive program
should be developed for citizens to double-plumb new houses to use "gray
water."
Council Member Runels moved and Council Member Fuller seconded the motion
to direct staff to develop a program for water neutralization of all new
development with water requirements in excess of historical usage and allow the
developer/applicant the option to pay a fee or develop his own plan for water

SUBJECT: Water Recycling Grant - Status Report
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Board;
Receive and file this report.
FUNDING:
The grant provides for a $75,000 matching fund to be used to study the feasibility of recycling treated
wastewater. The approved total study cost is $150,000.
DISCUSSION:
The District's grant proposal to fund a study for the feasibility of delivering recycled wastewater has
been approved by the California State Water resources Control Board (SWRCB) under the Division
of Clean Water Programs.
The schedule to begin the study and completing the specific tasks associated with the study has been
delayed due to health problems experienced with administrative personnel of the Office of Water
Recycling. The attached schedule is a revised edition of the original approv.ed schedule as
recommended by the Office of Water Recycling. Although the completion dat~ called for in the
resolution is May 31, 1999. State staff has recommended a completion date of September 1999 to
be more realistic and to accommodate their staffs delays in authorization.
The attached resolution adopted by the SWRCB authorizes reimbursement for expenditures that are
incurred after June 18.1998.
The next step in the grant process is for the SWRCB to execute the Grant Contract with the State
and for the District to set up a "kick off" meeting with Kennedy Jenks Consultants and staff. Staff \1
will also meet in the next several weeks with representatives of our parent agencies as well as
representatives of Zone 3 (Lopez) to discuss opportunities for water recycling and groundwater
recharge.

APPLICANT STABILITY AND CAPABILITY: The South San luis Obispo County Sanitation
District (District) collection, treatment and disposal facilities were originally constructed and put into
operation in 1966. The Agency has the ability to cany out the proposed project. The District meets
the criteria for funding consideration.
The District has a wastewater treatment capacity of5.0 MGD (5,600 AFIYR). The treatment facility
currently processes 2.8 MGD (3,136 AFIY) of municipal wastewater from three communities (City
of Arroyo Grande, Community of Oceano, and City of Grover Beach).
The treatment facility was designed to provide full secondary treatment that meets the current
requirements of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board and the State Ocean Plan.
Pre-treatment is provided by screening and shredding equipment at the head works. Following the
wastewater flow, additional unit process treat plant solids through the primary clarifier, final clarifier,
sludge degritter, sludge thickener, sludge digester, centrifuge, and sludge drying beds.
GENERAL: As opposed to discharging treated waste water to the ocean, the District proposes to
implement a groundwater recharge project to develop a beneficial water supply by recharging the
Arroyo Grande-Nipomo Mesa hydrologic sub-units of the Santa Maria Groundwater Basin near the
Guadalupe Oil Spill .
The District is applying for all or a portion of the projects described herein to assist with groundwater
recharge, cooling waters, landscape irrigation, seawater barriers and other beneficial uses associated
with water reclamation.
LAND AND LAND USE: The District's Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant is situated within
the Five Cities Area which occupies the southwestern portion of San Luis Obispo County, 15 miles
south of the City of San Luis Obispo. Its 165 square miles encompass the watersheds of the Arroyo
Grande Creek and Nipomo Creek, a portion of the watershed ofPismo Creek and that portion of the
watershed of the Santa Maria River within San Luis Obispo County.
The land area is contained within the boundaries of the Santa Maria Hydrologic Units as defined by
the Regional Water Quality Control Board Maps. The land area identified by this Grant Application
Request for Water Reclamation and Ground Water Recharge is only for the Oceano/ Nipomo Mesa
Hydrologic Subareas and the Guadalupe Hydrologic area within the Santa Maria Hydrologic Units.
GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT: The District is governed by a three-member District
Board consisting of members of the City of Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, and Oceano Community
Services District. The District Administrator serves as the Executive Director for the Agency.
DISTRICT SERVICES: The District contracts with the City of Arroyo Grande, The City of Grover
beach, and Oceano Community Services District for the collection and treatment of wastewater.
BUDGET PROCESS: The fiscal year of the District begins on the first day of July of each year and
ends on the thirtieth day of June of the following year.
The District retains, at the beginning of each fiscal year, an independent certified public accountant
who, at least annually, examines the books, records, inventories and reports of all officers and
employees who receive, control, handle or disburse public funds and of all such other officers and .

The Cities of Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Oceano Community, Nipomo Mesa area is very
diversified. It is estimated that the District serves a population of approximately 30,000.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION (project Scope, Location & Purpose): The potential recycled water
service area includes the communities and governing agencies such as the City of Arroyo Grande,
Ocean Community, City of Grover Beach, City of Pismo Beach, Nipomo Community Services
District, Guadalupe, California Department of Transportation's U.S. Highway 101 (CalTrans), and
unincorporated areas in San Luis Obispo County.
There is also potential groundwater recharge areas in the Los Berros alluvials, the Nipomo Mesa area
of the Santa Maria Groundwater Basin. Currently, a draft Groundwater Resources Study
developed for the County of San Luis Obispo being prepared by the Department of Water Resources.
This study may provide additional areas for recycled water.
NEXUS STATEMENT (GeographicallylHydrologically, Waste Type, or Beneficial Use Type):
The District's Wastewater Treatment Plant is sited near coastal waters and is geographically near the
Unocal Guadalupe Oil Field. Hydrologically, the groundwater basins within the service areas of the
District are the Arroyo GrandelNipomo Mesa sub basin areas of the Santa Maria Groundwater Basin.
DEMONSTRATED NEED & POTENTIAL IMPACT: The District is requesting available
funding from the Unocal settlement to assist with providing facilities for groundwater recharge and
water recycling near the Arroyo GrandelNipomo Mesa and the Santa Maria Hydrologic Basin.
In addition to this proposal, the District has applied for funding under the State Water Resources
Clean Water Program to study and identify potential water reclamation projects throughout the area.
PROJECT READINESS (DESIGN PLANS COMPLETE, PERMITS NEEDED &
APPLICATIONS FILED, CONSISTENCY WITH FEDERAL, STATE, REGIONAL &
LOCAL PLANS): The District studied the potential for water reclamation and has compiled data
to be consistent with local, state and federal regulatory agencies. The District has developed the
