Public Participation
Law
10642. Each urban water supplier shall encourage the active
involvement of diverse social, cultural, and economic elements of
the population within the service area prior to and during the
preparabon of the plan, Pnor to adopting a plan, the urban water
supplier shall make the plan available for public inspection and
shall hold a public hearing thereon Pnor to the hearing, notice of
the time and place of heanng shall be published . . After the
heanng, the plan shall be adopted as prepared or as modified after
the hearing.
Public Participation
The City of Seal Beach has actively encouraged community participation in
development of its urban water management planning efforts since the first plan was
prepared In 1985. Public meetings were held prior to adoptIon of the previous plans,
For this updafe to the Urban Water Management Plan, a public meeting was held to
review and receive comments on the draft plan before the City Council approval
Notices of public meetings were posted in the CIty Hall. Legal public notices for the
meefing was published in the local newspaper and posted at Cify facilities. Copies of
the draft plan were available at fhe City Hall and the Library
Plan Adoption
The City of Seal Beach prepared thiS update of ItS Urban Water Management Plan
during fall 2002. The updafed plan was adopted by City Council on November 12, 2002
and submitted to the California Department of Wafer Resources within 30 days of
Council approval. Attached fa the cover letter addressed fo the Department of Water
Resources and as Appendix B are copies of the signed Resolution of Plan Adoption,
This plan includes all information necessary to meet the reqUIrements of California
Water Code Division 6, Part 2.6 (Urban Wafer Management Planning),
Agency Coordination
Law
10620 (d) (2) Each urban water supplier shall coordinate the
preparation of its plan with other appropriate agencies in the area,
including other water supphers that share a common source, water
management agencies, and relevant pubhc agencies, to the extent
practicable.
Interagency Coordination
The City of Seal Beach is a refall cusfomer of MuniCipal Water Dlstricf of Orange
Counfy (MWDOC) who In turn is a member agency of Metropolitan Water Disfrict of
Southern California (MWD). The CIty derives 75% of its water supplies from the Orange
County Groundwater Basin managed by Orange County Water Districf (OCWD).
Groundwater sources for the City of Seal Beach are shared in common with other urban
and agricultural interesfs in fhe area, The City therefore coordinated the development
of this plan with the following agencies:

projected population estimates shall be based upon data from the
state, regional, or local service agency population projections
within the service area of the urban water supplier and shall be in
five-year increments to 20 years or as far as data is available,
Climate
Seal Beach has a Southern California
coastal climate. Summers are mild and
dry, and winters are cool, With an annual
average of 12 inches of precipitation,
with mosf of the rainfall occurring
between November and March. The
region is subject to wide variations in
annual precipifation. Late nighf and
early morning marine layer helps reduce
summer irrigation requirements.
Elevations within the City vary between 5
to 50 feet above sea level. There are
virtually no days where temperafures fall
below freezing.
I
Deviation from the average annual
precipitation was experienced in 1998 due to the EI Nino conditions for the western
United States.
Other Demographic Factors
The City of Seal Beach is located on the coast in the southwest corner of Orange
Counfy It occupies an area of about 11 6 square miles (7369 acres) Incorporation of
the City occurred in 1915.The Cify provides wafer service to all residential and industrial
and most commercial uses.
The majority of the City IS dedicated fo milifary use (5000 acres) all of which IS owned
by United States Government. Low denSity residential use In the form of single family
dwellings, are located in communities known as College Park East, College Park West
and Marina Hill Medium densify residential uses are located in Bridgeport, Old Town
and Leisure World. High-density residential communities consist of Rossmore
Condominiums, Surfside Colony, River Beach and portions of Old Town. Commercial
areas are locafed along Main Street in Old Town and Bixby Ranch. Industrial and
manufacturing consisting of space and military applications are concentrated at the
confluence of Seal Beach Boulevard and Westminster Avenue

Water History of Orange County
When fhe Metropolitan Water District of Southern Califomla (Metropolitan) was formed
in the late 1920's, Orange County had mosfly an agriculturally based economy with the
CitieS of Santa Ana, Anaheim, and Fullerton the primary centers of urban development.
Although other cities and reSidential communities existed In Orange County af fhat flme,
it was fhese three cities fhat joined With ten other cities in Southern California to forn1
Metropolitan in 1928.

Resolu,tion Number tJO 1f
COllecfively, these charter members of Metropolitan recognized the limited wafer supply
available within the region; fhey realized fhat fhe continued prosperity and economic
development of soufhem California required the acquisition of supplemental water
supplies. The foreslghl of these cIties made if possIble for the continued deveJopmenf of
southem California and Orange County, A few years later, In 1933, the Orange County
Wafer Districf (OCWD) was formed to protect and manage the County's natural
underground wafer resources and to defend its water rights to the Santa Ana River
Basin
Orange County's population grew modestly from 118,674 in 1930 fo 216,224 in 1950
The populabon boom occurred after World War /I in soufhem California and Orange
County, By 1950, fhe communities overlying the Lower Santa Ana River Groundwater
Basin realized that the local underground supply was nof sufficient to meet fhe fufure
demands of fhe area, as evidenced by the major overdraft and seawater infrusion fhaf
had occurred during fhls period, This factor, along wifh fhe increasing water needs of
outlying areas Within the county, necessifated fhe formation of MWDOC in 1951 to
acquire supplemental water supplies from Metropolifan to facIlitate continued economic
development.
Subsequent annexations to MWDOC -coupled with major public Improvemenfs such as
wafer conveyance systems, sewage freafment plants, freeways, storm drains, and
requisite utilities-have facilitated rapid regional growth and development. Today,
Orange Counfy's populatIon IS nearly 2.9 million, of which approximately 65% or 1 8
million of the population is within MWDOC service area.
MWDOC provides water to ItS member agencies for municipal, industrial, agricultural
and groundwater replenishment purposes, To supply wafer, the Districf enters info a
written service agreement with a member agency; in turn, MWDOC contracts With
Metropolitan. MWDOC has acquired, through participation in joint powers agreemenfs
(JPA) for certain pipelines, capacify rights, which were sold or released by MWDOC to
its member agencies.
In January 2001, MWDOC officially merged with the Coastal Municipal Water District, a
service area of 59 square miles With a population of 250,000. This consolidation was
initiated in 1996 as part of an effort to streamline local government, and a joint
application was filed with the Local Agency Formation Commission. The new district will
continue to be known as the MuniCipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC), and
will serve all of Orange County expect for fhe cities of Anaheim, Fullerton and Santa
Ana.
In terms of water management, MWDOC became a signatory to the Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) in 1991, monifored by the California Urban Water Conservation
CounCIl, which outlInes 14 Best Management Practices for urban water conservation.
The urban water conservation practices are intended to reduce long-term urban
demands from what they would have been Without implementation of these practices
and are in additional fo programs fhat may be institufed during occasional wafer supply
shortages.
For longer than thirty years, MWDOC Public Information and Wafer Educafion
programs have reached thousands of consumers and students annually, The programs
are performed on behalf of, and in coordination WIth, the District's member agencIes.
The city of Seal Beach being a member agency directly benefits from all MWDOC
programs. These programs help the public and students understand current water
Issues, as well as challenges, opportunities and costs involved in securing a reliable
supply of high qualify wafer.
MWDOC also represent its member agencies' interests in such Metropolitan Water
Disfrict planning efforts as the Wafer Surplus and Droughf Management (WSDM) Plan
and fheir new rate structure, MWDOC is also the stimulus behind the "Focus on Orange
County's Wafer Future" effort, the Orange Counfy Water Plan. The goal of "Focus" is to
Improve water planning Orange County in order to ensure a high degree of reliability
and quality in fufure water supplies.

Past Drought, Water Demand, and Conservation
Information
The state and local region experienced a prolonged drought from 1988 through 1992.
The City met its customers' needs through careful management of groundwater and
imported supplies Communify Involvement made if possible to have voluntary rationing
during 1989-91,
The City continues fo have a very small residential and commercial growth. The
commercial sector is increasing more due to Increased tourism. There is no agricultural
activity to mention in the City,
The cifizens of Seal Beach have a high commifmenf to qualify of life and environmental
issues. They are active participants in resource and planning discussions held by Cify I
staff and the City Council. Wafer conservation is one of several high priority policies
actively implemented in the City, and programs such as residential water audits, and
ultra-low flush tOllef replacements are well accepfed

Groundwater
The water supply resources In Orange County are enhanced by the exisfence of a large
groundwater basin, The City of Seal Beach Wafer Division is an operator of ground
water prodUCing facilities in the Orange County Groundwater Basin ("Basin"). The
Orange Counfy Ground Water Basin is described at pages 3-1 through 3-14 of the
Orange County Water Distnct Master Plan Report, dated April 1999 ("MPR") and
incorporated herein by reference.
Orange Counfy Water Dlstnct (OCWD) under the Orange County Water District Act,
Water Code App., Ch 40 ("Acf"), manages the Basin. The Act empowers OCWD to
Impose replenishment assessments and basin equity assessmenfs on producfion and
to require registration of water producing facilities and the filling of certain reports,
however OCWD is expressly prohibited from limiting extraction unless a producer
agrees (Section 40-2(6)(c)) and from impairing vested rights fo the use of water
(Section 40-77), Thus, producers may install and operate production facilities under the
Act; OCWD approval is not required.
Although the rights of the producers within the Basin vis a vis one another have not
bee adjudIcated, they nevertheless exist and have not been abrogafed by fhe Act.
(Secflon 40-77) The rights consist of municipal appropriators' righfs and may include
overlaying and ripanan rights.
The Department of Water Resources (DWR) has Identified the Basin as overdrafted in
its most current bulletin that characferizes the condition of the Basin, Bulletin 118.
Bulletin 118 is currently being updafed by DWR) The efforts being undertaken by
OCWD to eliminate long-ferm overdraft in the Basin are described in fhe OCWD Master
Plan Report (MPR) dated April 1999, including in particular, Chapters 4,5,6,14 and 15
of the MPR Although the water supply assessment statute (Wafer Code Section
10910(f)) refers to elimination of "long-term overdraft", overdraft refers to condlllons
which may be managed for optimum basin storage, rather than eliminated OCWD Act
defines annual groundwater overdraft to be the quantity by which production exceeds
the natural replenishmenf of fhe Basin. Accumulafed overdraft is defined in the OCWD
acf to be fhe quantity of water needed in the groundwater basin forebay fo prevent
landward movement of seawater into the fresh groundwater body. Seawater Intrusion
control facilities have been constructed by OCWD since its inception, and have been
effecfive in preventing landward movement of seawater. These facIlities allow greater
ufilization of the storage capacity of the Basin
OCWD has invesfed over $250 million In seawater Intrusion control (injection barriers);
recharge facilities, laboratories, and Basin monitoring to effectively manage the Basin.
Consequently, alfhough the Basin is defined to be in an "overdraft" condition, it is
actually managed to allow utilization of up to 500,000 AF or more of storage capacity
during dry periods, acting as an underground reservoIr and buffer against drought
periods OCWD stated goal is to operate the Basin to maintain accumulated overdraft
Resolution Number ~
SEAL BEACH 2000 URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
of 200,000 AF. If the Basin is too full, artesian conditions can occur in many areas
including the coastal zone, causing rising wafer conditions and water logging, an
adverse condition.
OCWD continuous to develop new replenishment methods and supplies, recharge
capacity and basin protection programs to meet the projected demand from the Basin
during normal and drought periods.
Groundwater conditions in the Orange County groundwater basin are Influenced by the
natural hydrologic conditions of rainfall, groundwater seepage and stream flow.
I
Groundwater extraction and injection through wells, use of imported water for
groundwafer replenishment, and water use efficiency practices also Influence the basin.
Groundwater is not acfually an indigenous source of supply but rather sforage of supply
that Includes natural runoff, treated wastewater, and imported water. Runoff from local
rainfall,s the main source of recharge for -the smaller basins and accounts for some of
the recharge of the Lower Santa Ana River Basm. (LSAR Basin). The amount of runoff
recharge is highly variable and can only be estimated, Most of the recharge of the
LSAR Basin is from Santa Ana River flow percolated in-stream or diverted to off- stream
spreading baSins operated by the OCWD. OCWD is responsible for the protection of
water righfs fo fhe Santa Ana River in Orange County as well as management and
replenishment of fhe Basin.
The LSAR Basin underlies fhe north and central area of Orange County. The annual
production of fhe LSAR Basin averaged 328,000 acre-feet between 1995 and 1999,
generally increasing with time.
Santa Ana River base flow IS comprised mamly of treated wastewater discharged from I
treafment plants in Riverside County and San Bernardino County. Thus, about half of
the water recharging the LSAR aquifer is incidenfally recycled wastewater. In addition,
OCWD injects about 5,000 AF/yr of recycled wastewater treated from ifs Water Factory
21 plant into the LSAR BaSin near the coast. The OCWD recharge operafions both
expand the production capabilify of the LSAR Basin and prevent seawater Intrusion into
the aquifers.
Production capability of the LSAR Basin is being Increased by increasing both the
recharge supply and the number of production wells for the extraction of water from fhe
basin. Aquifers fhat presently store low-quality water -wafer high in nitrates, salt color,
or industrial pollutants -are being pumped, and the produced water is being treafed at
local wafer treatment plants or blended With potable water, Drawing out low-quality
water and replaCing it with high-quality recharge water anticipate aqUifer cleanup.
So called "In-Lieu" program also helps groundwater production and quality by replacing
quantities of groundwater with Imported water to reduce groundwater pumping in
coastal areas. The In-Lieu Program has served as an efficienf groundwater
replenishment method since the 1970s. Currently, the In-Lieu Program is deSignated as
the BaSin Water Supply Management Program under the terms of the 1997 BaSin
Wafer Management Agreement with the MWD.
OCWD is required to annually invesfigate the condition of the Basin, assess overdraft I
and accumulated overdraft, and determine the amount of water necessary for
replenishment (Section 40-77). OCWD has studied the Basin replenishmenf needs and
pofentlal projects fo address growth in demand until 2020, This IS described in detail in
the OCWD Master Plan Report, dated Apn11999. In April, 2002, Board of Directors of
OCWD declared by Resolution No. 02-4-63 that the accumulated overdraft as of June

95,000 AF.
With groundwater pumping expected to be around 380,000 AF for the current water
year, the basin's accumulated overdraft will significantly increase. In a memorandum
dated June 3, 2002 to fhe OCWD Board of Directors, General Manager Virginia
Grebblen stated that the accumulated overdraft would be slightly over 400,000 AF on
June 30, 2002 The n;Jemorandum further offered three pOfenfial solufions fo fhe
problem:
1-ModlflYlng the imported in-lieu program to allow much greater replenishment
delivenes to the basin
2-Developing greater recharge capacity, which would give OCWD fhe ability to sink
larger quantities of imported replenishment water when available
3-Lowering the Basin Production Percentage (BPP)
As of the date of this Urban Water Managemenf Plan Update, It had not been
defermined what course of action, If any, the OCWD Board of Directors would pursue If
should be noted that under OCWD management of overdraft to maximize its utilization
for annual production and recharge operations, overdraft varies over time as the Basin
is managed to keep it in balance over the long term, The Basin is not operated on an
annual "safe-Yield" basis. (OCWD MPR, Section 3.2)
The Cify of Seal Beach obtains about 3000 acre-feet per year (AFY) from fhree wells,
from an average depth of 800 feet (Table 3). There has been some saline intrusion info
fhe upper aqUifers of the Basin, but it has not affected the strata from which the City
wells produce. Water quality is within standards set for acceptable dnnklng water by the
federal governmenf and fhe California Departmenf of Health Services,
· Beverly Manor Well -The well, constructed in 1969, is housed in an enclosed
building along -side the two booster pumps referred to as the Beverly Manor
Booster. The well pump, driven by a natural gas engine, pumps direcfly into the
Beverly Manor Reservoir. If has a capacity of 2000 gpm.
· Bolsa Chica Well-This well, consfructed in 1979, is located on Bolsa Chica
Road south of the San Diego Freeway The well pump can be driven with an
electric motor as well as a natural gas engine The well discharge pressure IS
maintained by varying the speed of electnc mofor by means of Toshiba Variable
Frequency Drive or by a Murphy controller acting on the natural gas engine, The
maximum output into the distnbution system is 2800 gpm at 68 psi.
· Leisure World Well -leisure World Well is located behind a fenced enclosure in
Leisure World on Beverly Manor Road, Well pump IS electrical motor-driven. The
well pumps into Beverly Manor Reservoir buf has the ability to pump directly into
the Leisure World Distribution System.
· Well No.7 - Well No.7, located on the south Side of Westminster Avenue and just
east of Seal Beach Boulevard, has not been utilized in recent years and IS on
"Inactive" status.

Reliability
Reliability is a measure of a water service system's expected success in managing
water shortages
To plan for long-ferm wafer supply reliability, the City has very few supply augmentation
but several demand reduction opfions.
In addition to climafe, other facfors that can cause water supply shortag~s are
earthquakes, chemical spills, and energy outages af freatment and pumping facilities.
Reliability planning requires information about: (1) the expected frequency and severity
of shortages; (2) how additional water management measures are likely to affect the
frequency and severity of shortages, (3) how available contingency measures can
reduce the impact of shortages when they occur.
The City of Seal Beach has adopfed a system-wide annualized demand reduction
target of no more than 25 percent. It IS believed that anything over a 25% reducfion
would cause an economic hardship within the city, The 25 percent cnferion is an
overall use reduction target.
The City used the Department of Water Resources' Bulletin 160-98 the California Wafer
Plan Update, chapters 7,8 and 9, Options for Meeting Future Water Needs, In the
development of the reliabllify comparison section.
Frequency and Magnitude of Supply Deficiencies
The City experienced fhe effects of the stafewide drought during 1976-77; during which
all-residential and commercial landscape watering was suspended for the duration of
the water shortage, During 1987-89, the communify was better prepared fo handle
drought impacts, due to the adopfion of no-waste ordinances and successful voluntary
rationing on the part of the community. Water conservafion programs, including free
showerheads and foilet leak detection dye fablefs for residential customers, and the
educational water conservation programs With the local schools were very effective,
The current and fufure supply projections through 2020 are shown in Table 3. The
future supply projections assume normal imported water delJveries and average annual
recharge to the Main Orange Counfy Basin,
Plans to Assure a Reliable Water Supply
The future supply projections rely on proper management of the Orange County
Groundwater Basin and successful implementation of the MWD's WSDM "wisdom"
plan.
Imported Water
City of Seal Beach, as mentioned previously, relies on MuniCipal Wafer District of
Orange County (MWDOC) and MWD for imported water supplJes.
MWDOC supplies ItS member agencies With wholesale imported water provided by the
MWD from both the Colorado River Aqueduct and Sfate Water Projecf sysfem. MWD IS
the only source of imported water presently available to MWDOC and ifs member
agencies. With the increasing population estimates, MWDOC's retail member agencies,
as a whole, are expected fo increase fheir dependence upon imported water supplies in
the future.
The Sfafe Wafer Project (SWP) conveys water from Northern California to areas south
of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta through a series of rivers, canals, reservoirs,
aqueducts, and pumping plants. Wafer from fhe SWP originafes at Lake Oroville,

located on the Feafher River in Northern California, and subsequently flows into the
Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. From the delfa, the water is then transported by the
California Aqueduct through the Central Valley and into the Southern California. This
system is owned and operated by the State Department of Water Resources (DWR).
Colorado River wafer IS conveyed from the California-Arizona border to the mefropolltan
area via the Colorado River Aqueduct (CRA). Its 242-mile journey begins from the
intakes at Lake Havasu to the terminal reservoir known as Lake Matthews, located near
fhe Clfy of Riverside. The CRA is owned and operated by MWD.
1
Both fhe Northern California and Colorado River supplies, however, are faced with
potential and uncertain reductions It is projected thaf the SWP supply to agencies
south of the Delta Will be reduced due to increased use within the areas of its origin. In
the past decade, deliveries from the SWP have been reduced by nearly ten percenf In
dry years. Moreover, the growing environmenfal challenges associated with the Bay-
Delfa, such as saltwater Intrusion from the San Francisco Bay and the return flow of
Delta agriculturallrngation wafer, have threatened fo degrade fhe quality of water
Soufhern California receives from the SWP. Confaminants such as bromide, Total
Organic Carbon, and pafhogens are a small sampling of water quality concerns over
Sfate Project water.
Southern California is also facing major cutbacks in the water supply traditionally drawn
from the Colorado River. This resource will undergo reductions as result of U.S.
Supreme Court decision. Under a 1922 agreement, California is allowed 4.4 million
acre-feet of water each year from the Colorado River. Over a period of time, however,
the State has been diverting un-utilized and surplus water when it has been available.
California has relied on this "exfra" water, as it has had to confend with the growing
demands of the region During fhe lasf five years, California water agencies with rights
to the Colorado River (Including MWD) have averaged 5,2 million acre-feet annually.
Due to increased demand and competition from the six other states that draw from the
river, California is currently obligafed to develop a water plan to stay within the state's
4.4-million acre-foot apportionment. The proposal balances storage programs with
increased conservation efforts and water transfers, MWDOC is currently investigating
programs that would reduce fhe District's reliance on imported water resources.

10635 (a) Every urban water supplier shall include, as part of its
urban water management plan, an assessment of the reliability of
its water service to its customers during normal, dry, and mulhple
dry water years. This water supply and demand assessment shall
compare the total water supply sources available to the water
supplier with the total projected water use over the next 20 years,
in five-year mcrements, for a normal water year, a single dry water

Comparison of Demand and Supply
Fufure water demands and supplies, sfarting in 2005, were compared in two'different
ways, based on the two projections described above (baseline and wlth-Projecf):
. On a tofal annual quantify basis (stated in acre-feet per year (AFY))
. On a peak flow (maximum day) baSIS (stated in gallons per minute (gpm))
. Demand and supply were compared under fhree climatic conditions base
(normal) conditions and single-dry and multiple-dry year conditions, These
conditions are applicable to comparisons of annual demands and nof the peak
now demands, Peak flow is a measure of the water delivery system's ability to
meet the highest - day demands placed on fhe system Within a gIven year. Peak
demands occur dunng the hot, dry season and as a result do not vary
Significantly by dry-year conditions whereas dry year conditions significantly
Increase total annual demands. For the purposes of this assessment total annual
dry - year demands were assumed fa be 7 percent greater than the normal
demands,

Imported water supplies are subject to availability. To assist local water providers in
assessing the adequacy of local water supplies that are reliant in whole or in part on
Metropolitan imported supply, Metropolitan has provided Information concerning the
availabilify of the supplies to ifs entire service area, This report, entitled "Report on
Metropolitan's Water Supplies" (February 11, 2002) ("Metropolitan Report"), is
consistent With Metropolitan's RegIonal Urban Water Management Plan (December,
2000) ("RUWMP").
In order to assure supply reliability for its service area, Metropolitan has developed Its
Water Resource Strategy The key elements of Mefropolltan's strategy are'
. Portfolio of Diversified Supplies: Metropolitan continues to develop a portfolio of
diversified supplies. The diverse water project Investments reduce the risk of
failure in any single part of the portfolio. Risks sfem from cost, quality, or supply
availability. It also reduces fhe potential impact of a severe drought or an
emergency such as a major earthquake. The portfolio of diverSified supplies
avoids fhe pitfalls of "putting all your eggs in one basket."
I
. Supplv Reserves to Mitiaate Uncertainties: Metropolitan plans to mlflgate for
supply uncertainfies by continuing to secure supplies and build infrastrucfure
improvements that are available in advance of the time of need and can provide
back up capabilities This adaptive management approach creates supply
reserves that maintain Mefropolitan's flexibility in responding to changes in
demand and supply conditions

. New Rate Structure: Metropolitan's Board of Directors approved a new rate
structure In October 2001. The rafe structure provides the necessary financing
capabillfies to support fhe IRP and strategic planning vision that Metropolitan is a
regional provider of services, maintains the reliable delivery of imported water
supplies, encourages the development of additional local supplies like recycling
and conservaflon, and accommodates a water transfer market. Through its
regional services, Mefropolitan ensures a baseline of reliability and qualify for
Imported water deliveries in its service area. By unbundling its full-service water
rate, Metropolitan provIdes greater opportunity for member agencies to
competitively manage their supplies and demand to meet future needs in a
responsible, least-cost manner.
. Imolementina water manaaemenf oroarams thaf suooort the develooment of
cost-effective local resources: Metropolitan has established and implemented
programs to provide financial incentives to member agencies In the development
of local resources. These programs include the Local Projecfs Program (water
recycling and groundwater recovery), Conservation Program, and Request-for-
Proposal process for ocean desalination projects. These programs are meeting
the resource objectives in the IRP.
The status and progress of Mefropolltan's efforts in implementing programs to
support the development of conservation and local resources managemenf programs
are documented in Metropolitan's RUWMP and Metropolitan's Annual Progress

Aqueduct, the California Aqueduct and the development of in-basin
groundwater sforage. These efforts include participating in federal'and state
Initiatives such as the California Water Use Plan for the Colorado River,
CALFED for the Bay-Delta, and the Sacramento Valley Water Managemenf
Agreement. Beyond these initIatives, Metropolitan has acqUIred additional
supplies through cooperative agreements and business partnerships with
entitles in the Central Valley and within. fhe Colorado River system to
Implement water transfers, storage, conservation and land managemenf
programs, FInally, in accordance wifh Metropolitan's IRP and Slrategic Plans,
Metropolitan and the member agencies have moved ahead in maximizing the
use of available water supplies through in-basin groundwater conjunctive use
programs,
The status and progress of Metropolitan's efforts in Implementing programs fo secure
additional supplemenfal imported water supplies are documented In the
Metropolitan's RUWMP and the document entitled, "Report on Metropolitan's Water
Supplies" (Metropolitan Report)
· Providlna the infrastructure needed to Intearate imoorted and local sources of

have been identJfied from its sfudies of projected water needs that are
embodied in Board-approved documents such as the IRP, Distribution System
Overview Study, and the Chief Executive Officer's Business Plan. The
Identification, assessment and prioritization of 155 reliability and rehabilitation
projects have been completed in the CIP,
The status and progress of Metropolitan's infrastructure improvements are
documented in Metropolitan's Capital Invesfment Plan, This plan IS presented to
Metropolitan's Board of Directors as part of the annual budget review.

rate of 10% of single and multi-family customers every two years, However, actions
required by this DMM are included as part of DMM 1 and DMM 16, which City believes
is a more efflclenf approach to implementing DMM 2.
For each dwelling unit the survey team would complete a cusfomer data form (including
number of people per household, number of bathrooms, age of appliances, and lot and
landscaped area square footage). This data will then be used to analyze the customer's
water use.
Clfy staffs would review the surveyed customers' wafer use records, and compare
historic with current use for one year after the survey. If the reduction in water use were
not In line with DMM water savings estimates, staff would flag the customer's account
and offer a follow up survey
DMM 3 -- Distribution System Water Audits, leak
Detection and Repair
IMPLEMENTATION DESCRIPTION' The City has conducted water audits and leak defection

audit and leak detection, and meter calibration (production and customer meters)
programs into its utility operations, On average, City wafer department crews spend
about 30 days surveYing approximafely 10 miles of main and laterals per year The City
also has an annual valve exercise program, to ensure that interconnections wifh
adjacent utilities actually work.
In coordination with the Orange County Fire AuthOrity, the water department complied
with recent amendments to California Code of Regulations Title 19, Division 1, Chapter
9, pertaining to standardization of fire hydrants and assOCiated fire protection
equipment. The City has acquired standby generators to assist in water distribution in
an emergency. The City meets or exceeds minimum fire flow requirements, in
accordance With Callforma Water Works Sfandards.

METHODS TO EVALUATE EFFECTIVENESS' The City relies on MWDOC who will calculate
annual ULFT replacement program water savings to confirm the savings are within 10%
of calculated retrofit-on-resale water savings, using the CUWCC MOU Exhibit 6
methodology and water savings estimates. Exhibit 6 has become an Industry standard
for evaluation of ULFT replacement programs.

10632. The plan shall provide an urban water shortage contingency
analysis which includes each of the following elements which are
wlthm the authority of the urban water supplier:

Water Shortage Emergency Response
J[11 !;}91, In accordance ,with thlil requirements of A~sembly 811111 X, the City water, and
emergency'services departments developed a comprehensive water shortage
contingency plan, which was incorporated into the City's Emergency Response Plan in
early 1992. The City's plan is consistent with provisions In the County's Emergency
Response Plan. Both plans contain procedures for the distnbution of potable water in a
disaster; these procedures are consisfent with guidelines prepared by the California
State Office of Emergency Services,
The City recognizes the importance of the DMMs in redUCing water demand and Will
stnve to implement fhe programs within the constraints of small sfaff and resources.
The City would call media attention fo the wafer supply situation during a shortage and
would step up public water education programs, encourage property owners to apply
for a landscape and interior water use survey and continue to advertise fhe importance
of customers to Install ULF plumbing fixtures,
During declared shortages, or when a shortage declaration appears imminent, the
Public Works Director, who serves as fhe authorized representative, activates a City
water shortage response plan, During a declared water shortage, the City will accept
applications for new building permits but will nof issue permits until the shortage
declaration is rescinded.

Supplemental Water Supplies
To offset future pofentlal water shortages due to drought or disasfer, the City IS
considering the fOllowing supplemenfal water supplies.
Desalination
I
MWDOC has entered Into a tentative contracf to purchase product water from a
seawater desalination plant proposed by a private entity in Huntington Beach. MWDOC
is in discussion and analysIs to determine if desalinafion would be cost-effective for
drought water shortage mitigation and/or as an emergency water supply, Preliminary
analysis indicates that since desalination remains both expensive and energy intensive,
If would probably be cost effective only if the County's other water supplies were greatly
reduced or not available at all.
Challenges Include that the current water distribution system is not designed for potable
water fo be input af ocean level, and therefore desalination water would have to be
pumped up Into the service area. There are a number of potential desalination planf
sites, Including the proposed AES power plant site in Huntington Beach. In fhe event of
a major disaster, electric service could be disrupted, so desalinated water might have to
be produced and distributed using diesel power Achieving all necessary permlfs,
arranging funding and actual construction could be time consuming and would probably
take years. Feasibility study results are expecfed by lafe 2001,
Water Transfers
See the Transfer or Exchange Opportunities section.
I Long Term Additional Water Supply Options
To meef future long-ferm water demand beyond 2020, the City is relying on MWDOC
and OCWD who is studying In vanous water supply proposals, MWD is negotiating for
additional water storage In various groundwafer basins. The full range of options
available to MWD are described in WSDM plan. OCWD has seriously studied reverse
osmosIs freatmenf of tertiary treated waste water to recharge the Main Orange Counfy
Groundwater Basin in amounts ranging from 70000 acre-feet to 100000 acre-feet per
year which would be in addition to the natural recharge and imported water purchases

Priority by Use
.'
Priorities for use of available potable water during shortages were based on legal
requiremenfs set forth in the California Water Code, Sections 350-358. Wafer
allocations are established for all customers according to the following ranking sysfem:
. Minimum health and safety allocations for interior residential needs (includes single
family, multi-family, hospitals and convalescent facilities, retirement and mobile
home communities, and student housing, and fire fighting and publiC safety)
. Commercial, industrial, Institutional/governmental operations {where water is used
for manufactunng and for minimum healfh and safety allocations for employees and
visitors}, to mamfam jobs and economic base of the community {not for landscape
uses}
. Permanent agriculture (orchards, vineyards, and other commercial agriculture which
would require at least five years to return to production)
. Annual agnculfure (floriculture, strawberries, other truck crops) I
. EXisting landscaping
. New customers, proposed projecfs without permits when shortage declared.

Water Shortage Stages and Triggering Meehan.isms
As fhe water purveyor, fhe City of Seal Beach must provide fhe minimum health and
safety water needs of the community at all times. The water shortage response is
designed fo provide a minimum of 50% of normal supply during a severe or extended
"'Vater shortage. The rationing program triggering levels shown below are meant to
ensure that this goal is met.
Rationing stages may be triggered by a shortage in one water source or a combination
of sources, The City's potable water sources are groundwater, and Imported.
Rationing sfages may be triggered by a supply shortage or by contamination In one
source or a combination of sources. Because shortages overlap Stages, triggers
automatically Implement the more restrictive Stage. Specific criferia for triggering the
City's rationing stages are shown in Table 11,

Recycled Water Planning
The City of Seal Beach presently has no practical source of recycled water as the City
sends all wasfewater to OCSD for treatment and the treatment plants are considerable
distance away from the Cify boundaries. However OCWD in conjunction wifh OCSD
provld~s highly freated wastewater for injection into the ground to prevent seawater
intrusion along the coast These two agencies are also in the process of proceeding (or
very likely to proceed) with the previously mentioned Groundwafer Recovery Project to
recharge the groundwater basin, which supplies 75% of Seal Beach's total water
needs.
Quantity of Waste Water Collected and Treated
All wasfewater collected from the City is treafed af fhe County Sanifation Distnct plants
locafed in Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley. Total annual quanflty of wasfe wafer
collecfed from City of Seal Beach and treated is estimated fo be 2000 acre-feet per
year.
Potential for Use of Recycled Water
I
Unlike some other parts of Orange County where recycled water has been available
and ufilized for non-potable purposes for the past several years, City of Seal Beach
does not have access to recycled water, The wastewater treatment plant owned and
operafed by the City for a long time was demolished in 1972 and all wastewater flows
were routed to Orange County Sanitation District system for freatment and disposal

Resolu,tion Number !JiJ 1!J-
SEAL BEACH 2000 URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
As a background, recycled water usage in Orange Counfy commenced at Irvine Ranch
Water District and other south Orange County water districts. The wastewater treatment
plants owned and operated by these agencies lacked inexpensive alternafives for the
disposal of treafed wastewater generated Therefore land disposal by means of
landscape Irrigation was employed. Soon most everyone realized the recycled water as
a valuable resource and many newly developing areas required construction of
separafe sysfems for disfrlbuflon of recycled water thaf led to significant increases in
the use of recycled water,
Along fhese lines, in the 1980s, the Orange Counfy Water District (OCWD) who has the
responsibility of managing the Orange County Groundwater Basin embarked upon a
program to extend the recycled water use to the central and western parts of Orange
County, This program, referred as the Green Acres Projecf, was designed to deliver
recycled wafer from the Orange Counfy Sanitation District (OCSD) Plant No 1 fo the
citIes of Santa Ana, Fountain Valley, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach and Huntington
Beach in two phases Phase I of the project completed recycled water distribution
facilities to Fountain Valley, Sanfa Ana, and Costa Mesa Phase II of the project serving
parts of Newport Beach was also completed. However, the plans fo serve portion of the
project meant to serve the CIty of Huntington Beach was designed but not constructed.
The project IS currently on hold and it's future is uncertain.
The two main requirements in order to utilize recycled wafer are one: availabIlity and a
two: a dlstnbution system. Presently the City of Seal Beach has neither The recycled
wafer from the Green Acres project has not yet come to Huntington Beach and it is
doubtful If it ever will. Even if it were to reach Huntington Beach it would stili be several
miles from Seal Beach The other possibility is to obtain recycled water from the CIty of
Long Beach This would require bUilding several miles of transmission pipeline, The fact
that the City of Long Beach IS in Los Angeles County and the County Sanitation
Dlsfncts of Los Angeles County supplies their recycled water from their wastewater
treatment plant further complicates the issue politically,
Even if a source of recycled wafer were to be found and transmission pipeline were to
be built to bring it to Seal Beach, fhe co sf of construcflng a new piping sysfem in fhe
existing streets and alleys to distnbute It would be extremely expensive in comparison
to continued purchase of imported water.
