MONTECITO WATER DISTRICT
BOARD MEMORANDUM
SECTION: 4-A
RECOMMENDATION:
The Operations Committee and General Manager recommend the approval of Phase II
of the scope of work and fee schedule received from Dudek for the formation of
Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) under the Sustainable Groundwater
Management Act (SGMA) for the Montecito Groundwater Basin; in the amount of
$90,552.
DISCUSSION:
Background
California’s groundwater provides approximately half of the State’s water supply, and in
some parts of Santa Barbara County (County), is the sole source of water to sustain
agriculture and domestic uses. In other areas of the County, groundwater is an integral
part of multi-source water supply portfolios and is critical in times of prolonged drought.
Unlike surface supplies, groundwater aquifers are not subject to losses due to
evaporation.
Many California groundwater aquifers are adversely impacted by overuse. Such impacts
include significant decline in water storage and water levels, degradation of water
quality, sea water intrusion and land subsidence resulting in some cases in the
permanent loss of storage capacity. Recognizing the importance of groundwater and
the consequences of overuse, Governor Brown signed into law a package of bills
addressing the sustainable management of groundwater in California. Collectively,
these bills are the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA).
SGMA, which became effective on January 1, 2015, requires the sustainable
management of those groundwater basins designated by the State Department of
Water Resources (DWR) as medium and high priority by the year 2042. DWR defines
“sustainability” as the absence of negative impacts such as groundwater depletion,
water quality degradation, and land subsidence. DWR’s groundwater basin priority
designations are based on several factors, including population, number of groundwater
wells, overdraft, land subsidence and water quality conditions. The Montecito
Groundwater Basin is designated by DWR as “very low” priority, meaning that SGMA
compliance is not currently required.
Section 4-A
Page 1
Management of the Montecito Groundwater Basin
Groundwater continues to be an integral part of the District’s water supply portfolio,
currently making up 10-15% of its total annual supply. At this time, the District is
pumping approximately 550 acre-feet per year from the Montecito Groundwater Basin.
Other groundwater pumpers in the basin include hundreds of privately owned wells. It’s
been reported by Santa Barbara County that hundreds, possibly over a 1,000, new well
permits have been issued since 2014. The current number of fully developed and
active privately owned wells is unknown, as is the amount of groundwater pumped from
those wells, although it is estimated to be 700-1000 acre-feet per year. This makes the
sound management of the groundwater basin difficult, if not impossible.
Groundwater rights within the Montecito Groundwater Basin are privately owned. This
private ownership prevents the District from accessing, monitoring and controlling the
use of these privately-owned wells. Although many of these wells are low producing,
collectively their production is thought to be substantial. It is unknown how the current
yield of the basin compares to the safe yield, especially during this current drought.
Commonly, well production increases during droughts to compensate for the reduction
in other surface water supplies; this results in a reduction in production in some wells
and failure of others. When droughts persist, this practice of excessive pumping
compounds the negative impacts to our groundwater supply. Not only is our
groundwater supply being depleted, increased production during extended periods of
drought could result in or exacerbate seawater intrusion, which could take decades to
recover from. Without a better understanding of the total production from the basin,
managing the use of groundwater in accordance with the safe yield of the basin is
impossible. SGMA provides the District with a tool to effectively manage the Montecito
Groundwater Basin which continues to be vital to our water supply.
Under SGMA, the District would have the authority to require private well owners to
register their well(s), meter their production, and provide annual production reports.
Among other benefits, SGMA would also enable the District to limit well production, if
necessary to achieve sustainability.
Managing the District’s groundwater supply responsibly is critical to ensure its long term
sustainability and reliability. Although designated by DWR as a very low priority basin,
therefore not requiring compliance with SGMA at this time, it is the District’s duty as the
local agency having statutory authority over groundwater in the Montecito Groundwater
Basin to responsibly manage the groundwater supply to safeguard this valuable
resource for its customers.
Formation of a Groundwater Sustainability Agency
In April 2016, the District obtained a proposal from Dudek to assist the District with its
implementation of the SGMA process. In June, Dudek completed Phase I work which
involved responding to Carpinteria Valley Water District and the City of Santa Barbara’s
Section 4-A
Page 2
basin boundary modification requests, which resulted in favorable responses from the
Department of Water Resources.
The next step in the SGMA process is the formation of a Groundwater Sustainability
Agency (GSA). GSA’s are responsible for the implementation of the SGMA
requirements.
Representatives of Dudek, Jane Gray and Matt Naftaly, will be at our board meeting to
present information regarding SGMA, and, more specifically, their proposal to assist the
District in the formation of a GSA for the Montecito Groundwater Basin.
Project Schedule
Because the Montecito Groundwater Basin is not currently designated by DWR as a
medium or high priority basin, the timeline specified for achieving sustainability under
SGMA is not applicable. However, the Operations Committee and General Manager
believe it would be to the District’s benefit to proceed with the SGMA process with the
ultimate goal of achieving sustainability as soon as possible.
Costs
The proposed costs, as presented in the attached proposal received from Dudek, for the
formation of a GSA (Phase 2) is $90,552 which includes 15% contingency. Funds to
cover the costs associated with the Phase 2 work have been included in the District’s
2016/17 budget in the amount of $75,000.
As a “low” or “very low” priority basin, the District is currently not eligible for State
funding, e.g. loans or grants, to cover costs associated with implementation of SGMA.
Only those basins designated by DWR as “medium” and “high” priority are eligible for
funding assistance. Based on the large number of privately owned wells that are
thought to exist in the Montecito Groundwater Basin, it is believed that DWR’s
prioritization of the basin should be revisited. Sub Task I of Dudek’s proposal includes
the re-evaluation of this ranking conducted by DWR. If the District’s end goal is to
sustainably manage the basin in accordance with SGMA, the only anticipated impacts a
change in prioritization will have will include 1) its eligibility for loan and grant funding
and the implementation schedule requirement. Dudek proposes to complete the work
associated with Sub Task 1 utilizing the remaining budget under Phase I work.
Following the formation of a GSA, the District will develop a Groundwater Sustainability
Plan (GSP) in accordance with SGMA requirements. The development of a GSP could
span several years and cost the District an additional $250,000-$300,000. Approval of
Phase III work would be needed following completion of Phase II work. Phase III costs
have been included in the District’s ongoing rate study as anticipated costs in the 2017-
18 and 2018-19 fiscal years.

October 12, 2016
It was a pleasure meeting with you and the Operations Committee today. As we discussed, we
recommend that Montecito Water District (District) consider the provisions of the Sustainable
Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) as a way of fostering local control of the Basin and the
District water supplies (See attached Dudek July 14, 2016 letter proposal for a discussion of the
benefits and components of the process). Dudek has completed Phase I, which was to represent
the District in Basin Boundary modification issues proposed by neighboring basin interests.
As discussed at today’s meeting, it would be of value to the District to reevaluate the priority
designation given to the Basin by the Department of Water Resources (DWR). The DWR
assigned the Basin a ranking of “very low”. This designation eliminates the requirement to
comply with the SGMA legislation and the availability of some financial advantages afforded to
“medium” and “high” priority basins.
Therefore, we propose to obtain and review the ranking conducted by DWR and conduct an
independent ranking based on the DWR method. This will require review of the data used by
DWR and in some cases reevaluation of relevant parameters using independent data sources.
Such data will include population, population growth estimates, public water supply wells, total
wells, irrigated acreage, groundwater use and reliance, and other relevant information.
We estimate a cost of $5,000 and 1 month* to conduct this analysis (See Phase II, Subtask 1 of
the attached SGMA cost table). The funds remaining on our existing contract are sufficient for
this proposed Subtask. Therefore, we can proceed with this work upon authorization from the
District.
Section 4-A
Page 19
Phase II: Groundwater Sustainability Agency formation and Governance
As shown on the attached cost estimate, this phase consists of conducting the public outreach,
planning, and governance process necessary for formation of a Groundwater Sustainability
Agency (GSA). The GSA is a required component of the SGMA process as described in the
attached July 14, 2016 proposal.
This Phase (not including Basin Reprioritization) is estimated to cost $76,292 with an additional
$14,260 for optional tasks including data management and SGMA website development. As a
low priority basin as designated by DWR, there is no required timeline for completion of this
Phase. However, Dudek recommends one year as the appropriate time frame in which to
complete this task. This would allow for consistency with DWR and adjacent basin processes. If
the Basin Reprioritization process results in the Basin being reclassified as a medium or greater
priority, it would be necessary to consult with DWR on an adjusted time frame.
Thank you for considering Dudek for this important project. Please contact me at (805) 308.8529

July 14, 2016
As you know, the SGMA became effective January 2015 and requires the sustainable
management of all of California’s groundwater basins designated as medium or high priority by
the State Department of Water Resources (DWR). The act requires the creation of Groundwater
Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) and Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSPs), in order to reach
a condition of sustainability by the year 2042. Sustainability is defined by DWR as the absence
of negative impacts such as groundwater depletion, water quality degradation, and land
subsidence.
As part of the SGMA process, the Carpinteria Water district applied to the DWR to modify the
boundary between the Carpinteria and Montecito Groundwater Basins to include, within the
Carpinteria Basin, the Toro Canyon area. Dudek assisted the District with evaluating and
addressing the proposed modification. On July 1, 2016, the DWR issued a draft decision denying
the modification. There is no further action required at this time.
The Montecito Groundwater Basin (Basin) has been designated as low priority by the
Department of Water Resources (DWR) for the purposes of SGMA implementation. At this
time, there is no requirement that SGMA be implemented in the Basin; likewise there is no
mandated timeline for GSA formation or GSP completion if the process is undertaken
voluntarily. As we have discussed, however, there are many advantages for the Montecito Water
District (District) to voluntarily conduct the SGMA process as outlined by the DWR at this time.
Some of these advantages are:
Section 4-A
Page 23
2. Due to the current drought and the increasing cost of water, there has been a dramatic
increase in the number of wells drilled within the Basin. The SGMA provides a means to
monitor groundwater use and conditions and to manage drilling, pumping, and water
quality, if necessary.
3. The implementation of an effective groundwater monitoring program will allow for early
detection of potentially irreversible impacts such as sea water intrusion and land
subsidence.
4. The entities responsible for groundwater management in all of the Santa Barbara
County’s south coast basins are currently implementing, or planning to implement, the
SGMA. Due to the proximity of these basins and their hydrogeology and land use, there
is overlap of issues associated with the Montecito Groundwater Basin. SGMA provides a
process by which to coordinate these concerns.
Dudek has provided the District with a proposal for SGMA related services for the Basin (dated
April 8, 2016). This letter modifies the scope and time frame of that proposal based on recent
SGMA developments and Dudek communications with the District. The tasks associated with
the SGMA in the Basin are presented as four separate phases. These are Phase I: Basin Boundary
Modification Process; Phase 2: Groundwater Sustainability Agency Formation and Governance;
Phase 3: Groundwater Sustainability Plan Production; and Phase 4: Grant Tracking and
Application (optional). For task and cost detail, see Appendix A. The time frame’s shown below
are suggestions only, based on Dudek’s understanding of the District’s priorities. The SGMA
schedule for medium and high priority basins is attached as Appendix B for information only.
SGMA requires the formation of a GSA to produce and implement a GSP and to ensure the
inclusion of the interested parties. GSAs, which represent local governance of water resources
and stewardship, are empowered with financial, regulatory, and enforcement abilities. Additional
powers may be obtained through the adoption of ordinances. However, the exercise of such
authority is not required and the SGMA largely exempts users of less than two-acre feet per year
of groundwater. GSAs are the local entities having authority over water supply, management,
and potentially land use.
Section 4-A
Page 24
Likely participants in a GSA for the Montecito Groundwater Basin include the District and
potentially the County of Santa Barbara as voting members. There is also the ability for various
stakeholders to participate in an advisory capacity. Further, the District and the Carpinteria
Water District are potential members in each of the respective Basins’ GSAs to address topics of
shared concerns. This phase could potentially include costs for Dudek to represent the District as
a participant in adjacent basin GSAs.
The SGMA legislation requires extensive outreach to stakeholders and other basin interests and
the development of an instrument of governance such as a Memorandum of Understanding or
Joint Powers Authority. It is imperative that such a document anticipate and address a range of
procedural, political, and administrative issues. See Appendix A for specific tasks related to the
GSA formation and governance.
Phase 2 Timeline: As discussed above, there is no required timeline for the conduct of
SGMA in the Basin. Dudek suggests that the process be implemented
around July of 2017 and should be completed within one year.
Phase 2 Budget: $72,620 (not including $14,260 in optional costs related to data
management and website development)
The ultimate goal of SGMA is sustainable groundwater management. This is achieved through
development of the Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP), which synthesizes technical data and
information regarding water supply, use, and quality to develop a long-term strategy to achieve
sustainability. Such plans may require collection of data where gaps exist, the establishment of
monitoring systems, and the implementation of water projects. GSPs have a nexus with land use
planning. The cost of developing such a plan is very variable and depends on the availability of
recent technical information, the need for the establishment of monitoring networks, and the state
of proposed projects. The conduct of this phase is concurrent with or subsequent to establishment
of a GSA. Therefore, Dudek will develop a detailed scope of work and cost estimate for this
phase of SGMA as requested by the District. A coarse level estimate of cost and scope is
included in Appendix A and shown below.
Phase 3 Timeline: The timing of this process is flexible. It could be implemented in 2018
with progress and duration dictated by budget.
Phase 3 Budget: $265,020
Section 4-A
Page 25
Phase 4: Grant Tracking and Application (Optional)
Throughout the years, Dudek has obtained millions of dollars for projects and programs through
various federal and state programs for their clients. This phase provides for Dudek to monitor
potential grant opportunities, assess the potential benefit to MWD, and apply when directed to do
so by the District. Funding for SGMA implementation will be available in the next couple of
years; however, the specific of that funding is currently unknown.
Please let me know if you have any questions or want further information.

MEMORANDUM
SECTION: 4-B
Section 4-B
Page 1
Recycled Water Quality (Title 22 compliance)
GSD’s wastewater treatment and recycling facility produces recycled water in accordance with
Regional Water Quality Control Board Central Coast Region Order 91-03. The recycled water
produced by GSD is fully compliant with California Code of Regulations Title 22 recycled water
regulation requirements for disinfected tertiary recycled water as specified in Section
§60301.230(a)(1) and (b).
GSD’s recycled water treatment process includes filtration with coagulation and produces
effluent that does not exceed a turbidity of 2 NTU (Nephelometric turbidity unit). In the event
that water quality limits are exceeded, procedures are in place to halt the production of recycled
water until the problems are resolved. GSD’s recycled water fully complies with California Code
of Regulations Title 22 Section §60304 subsection (a) for use in surface irrigation.
On June 9, 2015, the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) issued a
letter of approval to expand GWD’s recycled water distribution and uses. The RWQCB’s letter
specifies approval of the requests by GWD and GSD to expand water recycling production,
distribution, and uses including “delivery of recycled water by truck for irrigation, dust control,
and other miscellaneous purposes”.
Section 4-B
Page 2
Although GSD’s recycled water is fully compliant with the California Code of Regulations Title
22 recycled water regulation requirements for disinfected tertiary recycled water, GWD’s
Recycled Water Hauling Program, approved by the RWQCB and SWRCB as part of GWD’s
June 2015 permit amendment as described below, does not permit the use of its recycled water
on “row crops”. According to GWD, their definition of row crops generally conforms with that
defined as “low lying row crops” under California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section §3437.
The referenced definition is as follows:
“Low-lying row crops. Produce or fruits such as carrots, lettuce, beets,
radishes, celery and strawberries, grown in cultivated fields that are planted
in rows and of such a height that does not impede the visibility of the
agricultural tractor operator and operators of other vehicles in the area.”
Section 4-B
Page 3
regarding the feasibility of developing a recycled water program in Montecito will take time,
giving MWD’s customers the option to receive recycled water from GWD for irrigation purposes
provides for an immediate alternate water supply source that could be utilized to save existing
landscaping including dying trees, particularly when excess potable water may not be available
for this use.
Section 4-B
Page 4
All agreements have been thoroughly reviewed by the MWD’s Recycled Water Ad Hoc
Committee, as well as staff, legal counsel and the Association of California Water Agencies
Joint Powers Insurance Authority (ACWA-JPIA). DRAFT copies of each agreement are
attached for reference. At the request of both MWD legal counsel and ACWA-JPIA,
Indemnification language has been added to both the GWD Recycled Water Trucking
Agreement and the GWD Special User Agreement to help protect the parties from any loss that
may arise as a result of the import and application of recycled water within MWD’s service area.
GWD has also reviewed each of the agreements and has approved of them in their current
form.
MWD Costs
Under MWD’s User Agreement the customer agrees to pay all costs incurred by MWD,
including costs for inspection of backflow devices, arising from the customer’s
participation in GWD’s Recycled Water Hauling Program. The customer shall provide
MWD with a deposit in the amount of $100 as the estimated amount of costs incurred
by MWD. If the costs incurred by MWD are less than the deposit, the portion remaining
shall be refunded. If the costs incurred by MWD are greater than the amount of the
deposit, the customer agrees to pay the additional amounts due upon receipt of MWD’s
invoice for same.

1 INTRODUCTION
This Engineering Report was prepared in support of a proposal to use recycled water produced by the
Goleta Sanitary District for landscape irrigation and dust control purposes in the jurisdictions of the
Goleta Water District, La Cumbre Mutual Water Company (Hope Ranch), City of Santa Barbara,
Montecito Water District, Carpinteria Valley Water District, and the El Capitan Mutual Water Company,
and toilet and urinal flushing and cooling towers within the jurisdiction of the Goleta Water District
Water used for landscape irrigation and dust control will be hauled to various locations with a
dedicated, clearly marked water truck and applied by a trained Recycled Water Applicator. Water to be
used in dual‐plumbed buildings and for cooling towers will be delivered by “purple pipe” in accordance
with applicable requirements.
This report was prepared pursuant to Section 60323 of Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations and
the Division of Drinking Water (DDW) “Guidelines for the Preparation of an Engineering Report for the
Production, Distribution, and Use of Recycled Water” dated March 2001.
The purpose of this Engineering Report is to demonstrate that the proposed recycled water hauling and
dual plumbed/cooling tower use is compliant with the State Water Resource Control Board’s Water
Quality Order 2014‐0090 General Waste Discharge Requirements for Recycled Water Use adopted June
3, 2014, as well as Title 22 requirements. This report explains the degree and reliability of treatment is
consistent with the requirements of the proposed recycled water use, and that the distribution and
proposed recycled water use will not create a health hazard or nuisance. It is intended that the
proposed distribution and use of recycled water complies with Title 22 requirements as may be in effect
now and in the future. In case of conflict between requirements of this Report and Title 22, the more
stringent shall apply.
2 RECYCLED WATER PROJECT
2.1 General
The Goleta Sanitary District provides wastewater treatment services to approximately 80,000 people in
an 85 square‐mile area. Goleta Sanitary District is located in an unincorporated coastal area of Santa
Barbara County at 1 William Moffett Place, Goleta, CA 93117. Goleta Sanitary District’s service area
consists of the unincorporated area of the Goleta Valley immediately west of and adjacent to the City of
Santa Barbara, and a portion of the City of Goleta around and easterly of the Santa Barbara Municipal
Airport. In addition, Goleta Sanitary District serves, under a separate contract, the Goleta West Sanitary
District, which serves the remaining western portion of the City of Goleta, and the unincorporated area
of Isla Vista. Goleta Sanitary District also serves the University of California, Santa Barbara; the Santa
Barbara Municipal Airport, which belongs to the City of Santa Barbara; and certain Santa Barbara County
facilities.
4
Section 4-B
Page 34
Goleta Sanitary District operates, in partnership with GWD, a tertiary treated recycled water plant.
Currently, the Goleta Sanitary District plant has the capacity to produce up to 3.3 million gallons of
recycled water a day, which under the GWD’s Master Permit 97‐06, can be used for landscape irrigation
and construction dust control. Although the Goleta Sanitary District plant has the capability to produce
3,000 acre feet per year (AFY), delivery is currently limited to only 1,000 AFY due to limitations in
storage and distribution infrastructure.
GWD has 24 customers permanently connected to the existing recycled water distribution system. GWD
Administration and Operations Office (Headquarters) is located at 4699 Hollister Avenue. GWD provides
the treatment and distribution of potable water to 87,000 customers and tertiary recycled water to 24
customers. GWD currently owns and will operate a recycled water filling station at Goleta Sanitary
District’s recycled water plant. Treatment of recycled water to tertiary standards is the responsibility of
Goleta Sanitary District, whereas the distribution and use of recycled water is the responsibility of GWD.
The proposed areas to receive recycled water within GWD service area are shown in Exhibit A.
In response to the drought and increasing customer interest, GWD has been working with Goleta
Sanitary District staff to develop a Recycled Water Hauling Program to offset potable water demand
from GWD customers and interested parties outside of the GWD service area throughout the South
Central Coast where recycled water is otherwise not available. Areas outside the GWD service area that
may be served are within the boundaries of the La Cumbre Mutual Water Company, the City of Santa
Barbara, Montecito Water District, Carpinteria Valley Water District, El Capitan Mutual Water Company,
and portions of unincorporated Santa Barbara County. These entities will be required to sign a legal
agreement to allow the delivery of recycled water to customers within their jurisdiction prior to such
deliveries. The legal agreements will outline the responsibilities between agencies with respect to the
use of recycled water and cross connection control measures. Contact information for each of these
entities is located in Exhibit B.
The La Cumbre Mutual Water Company treats and serves potable water to 1,400 customers, mostly in
the Hope Ranch area. La Cumbre Mutual Water Company’s jurisdiction is east of the GWD service area,
south of Hollister Avenue between More Mesa to the west and the City of Santa Barbara to the east.
Potential customers to receive hauled recycled water in their jurisdiction include La Cumbre Country
Club, and Hidden Oaks Golf Course (Exhibit C). La Cumbre Mutual Water Company currently does not
treat or deliver recycled water to its customers.
The City of Santa Barbara’s Public Works Department treats and distributes 12.5 million gallons of
potable water per day to 26,000 service connections. The City of Santa Barbara’s jurisdiction extends
along the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains to the north, to the unincorporated portions of the
Goleta Valley and the La Cumbre Mutual Water Company to the west, and to Montecito on the east
(Exhibit D). Potential customers to receive hauled recycled water in City of Santa Barbara jurisdiction
include the City of Santa Barbara’s maintained street trees and medians, Santa Barbara Golf Club, and
various public parks. The City of Santa Barbara currently manages a Backflow Assembly Program which
requires backflow prevention assemblies and annual testing. It will remain the responsibility of the City
5
Section 4-B
Page 35
of Santa Barbara to maintain and inspect backflow prevention assemblies within their jurisdiction. The
City of Santa Barbara does not currently provide recycled water to its customers due to needed repairs
to their recycled water treatment system. Until such repairs are completed, the City is delivering
potable water to its recycled water customers, primarily for irrigation purposes. Use of recycled water
through the GWD Recycled Water Hauling Program will directly offset the use of potable water at these
facilities.
The Montecito Water District is located in the southern, coastal portion of Santa Barbara County and
includes the unincorporated communities of Montecito and Summerland (Exhibit E). It has a population
of approximately 13,100 people and currently provides potable water to approximately 4,500
customers. The Montecito Water District does not currently provide recycled water. Potential customers
within Montecito include many residential estate customers, the Birnam Wood Country Club, and
Westmont College.
The Carpinteria Valley Water District is located in the southern coastal portion of Santa Barbara County
and includes the City of Carpinteria (Exhibit F). The Carpinteria Valley Water District, which spans
approximately 11,300 acres, is bounded on the south by the Pacific Ocean, the north by the foothills of
the Santa Ynez Mountains, and west by Montecito. Carpinteria Valley Water District uses 75 miles of
pipeline to provide potable water to approximately 18,500 people. Carpinteria Valley Water District
does not currently provide recycled water to its customers.
El Capitan Mutual Water Company is located on the coast toward the west end of Goleta (Exhibit G). El
Capitan Mutual Water Company relies on groundwater for its water supply and does not provide
recycled water to its customers.
The GWD Recycled Water Hauling Program and intended use of recycled water is not a new concept in
California, and is consistent with all applicable regulating requirements. A program of hauling recycled
water currently:
Complies with the Goleta Sanitary District’s California Regional Water Quality Control
Board (Central Coast Region) Order No. R3‐2010‐0012 Waste Discharge Requirements
and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System adopted May 13, 2010.
Is allowed in Uses of Recycled Water, Article 3 of Title 22 of the California Code of
Regulations
Also, in response to the drought and increasing customer interest, GWD is seeking approval for recycled
water use for dual plumbed systems and cooling towers. Interested customers include the University of
California Santa Barbara (UCSB) Main Campus and UCSB’s other housing developments.
Contact information for DDW, Regional Water Quality Control Board for the Central Coast, GWD, and
Goleta Sanitary District is available in Exhibit H.

Section 4-B
Page 36
2.2 Rules and Regulations
Recycled Water Hauling Program
The recycled water hauling trucks used in the GWD’s Recycled Water Hauling Program will follow the
requirements below:
Carry proof of vehicle liability insurance and worker’s compensation insurance.
Carry proof of valid truck registration.
Display a recycled water notification in English and Spanish (Exhibit I).
Utilize water‐tight valves and fittings and must not leak. The hauling truck must be
completely closed and tightly sealed so that water will not spill out during transport.
Recycled Water Use Permit must be available for inspection at all times.
Carry an adequate first aid kit to allow all cuts and abrasions to be promptly washed,
disinfected, and bandaged.
Will not be used to carry water for potable purposes, regardless of the source of water.
Hoses used for the application of recycled water will be clearly marked. The hoses will be
secured during transport.
Hoses will be inspected daily to verify that they are in serviceable condition and free
from leaks.
Hoses and tanks will be free from deleterious substances.
At the recycled water filling station at Goleta Sanitary District, the recycled water pipe and
appurtenances will be identified as such, including purple pipe and shutoff tags with recycled water tags.
Signage will also be posted at the filling station noting “FOR USE BY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY.”
The recycled water filling station is located within the restricted boundary of the Goleta Sanitary District
and will not have public access. The filling station will be locked at all times to prevent unauthorized use
and the key will be held by GWD only.
GWD will utilize a Recycled Water Applicator (RWA) with a Class A or B Driver’s License, with a tank
endorsement, to drive the GWD tank truck. The RWA, and all future RWAs, will be required to sign the
“Conditions for the Introduction and Use of Recycled Water” (Exhibit J) to acknowledge their intent to
comply with the requirements for the proper use of recycled water. RWAs will receive training prior to
delivering and applying recycled water (Exhibit K). Records of training will be maintained by GWD.
Specific duties of the RWAs will include:
Notify persons within 50 feet if present at the time of recycled water application and
instruct them they are not to touch or drink the recycled water.
Do not apply recycled water where it could spray on external drinking water fountains,
passing vehicles, buildings, or areas where food is handled or eaten.
Wash hands with soap and potable water or apply hand sanitizer after working with
recycled water, especially before eating.
7
Section 4-B
Page 37
Take precautions to avoid food coming in contact with recycled water. Spray, mist or
runoff shall not enter dwellings, designated outdoor eating areas, or food handling
facilities.
Apply recycled water at rate which does not exceed the agronomic rate.
Do not apply recycled water when site is saturated or when it is raining.
Prevent recycled water from running off the property.
Avoid ponding of recycled water on the property.
Keep a log book for each vehicle used to transport recycled water, including date of
delivery, intended use, volume delivered, name and address of recipient/customer.
Inspect the vehicle, appurtenances, tank, and other accessories daily to verify that valves
and fittings are not leaking
Complete a monthly vehicle inspection and written report for GWD files.
RWAs will follow a daily start and end inspection of the Recycled Water Truck recorded in the RWA daily
log book, and will perform the following:
Throughout daily deliveries, the RWA will keep record of the amount of recycled water filled at
Goleta Sanitary District, the start and end time of each delivery, and amount delivered
measured by a meter on the recycled water truck.
Daily start and end of day inspection logs will be maintained at GWD with the Recycled Water
Hauling Program Manager.
Customers requesting recycled water to their site will be required to have a pre‐inspection. The pre‐
inspection will determine the proximity of the site to a domestic drinking water well. If the site is less
than 50 feet from a domestic drinking water well, then the site shall not receive recycled water per
Article 4 Use Area Requirements of Title 22. The pre‐inspection will determine if the site can be accessed
by the public, its proximity to dwellings, and eating and food handling facilities per Title 22
requirements. Row crops will not be irrigated with recycled water. Additionally, the pre‐inspection will
determine whether the customer’s site is equipped with a lead free reduced pressure backflow
assembly and/or an air gap. GWD requires customers to install a backflow device at the customer’s
meter. If the site does not have an acceptable backflow prevention device, the site will not receive
recycled water until such a device is properly installed. In order to receive recycled water by direct
connection to a customer’s irrigation system, the site would require a physical separation between the
irrigation system and the potable system. A shutdown, cross‐connection control test will be required
before recycled water deliveries to ensure that no physical connection exists between the recycled and
potable water systems. If the site is approved to receive recycled water, per Title 22, the site will be
annually inspected by the District’s Recycled Water Specialist. Written reports of all customer sites
receiving recycled water through the hauling program, which will detail site visits, testing, and
maintenance, will be maintained at GWD, and will be submitted to DDW quarterly.

Section 4-B
Page 38
Dual Plumbed System/Flushing of Urinals and Toilets and Cooling Towers
State regulations require the separation of potable and all non‐potable systems. In order to comply with
this regulation, the District proposes an approach and methodology previously approved by DDW for
San Diego County Water Authority’s Technical Information Alternative Containers Guide, Dual Plumbed
Systems, and Cooling Towers.
All Users must enter into a recycled water user agreement. Users utilizing recycled water for dual
plumbed systems or cooling towers will be required to follow GWD’s Rules and Regulations and
Standard Specifications for Recycled Water (Exhibit L) and site supervisors will be required to have
Recycled Water Use Site Supervisor Training (Exhibit K). Further information regarding rules and
regulations for recycled water users for dual plumbed systems is described in Section 4.5 below.
2.3 Producer – Distributor – User
The Goleta Sanitary District produces tertiary recycled water at its wastewater treatment plant in
conjunction with GWD, as allowed in California Regional Water Quality Control Board Master Permit 97‐
06. The Goleta Sanitary District is responsible for the production and on site storage of reclaimed water.
Goleta Sanitary District produces recycled water in accordance with the monitoring and reporting
requirements stipulated in the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Coast Region,
Revised Monitoring and Reporting Program No. 91‐03.
GWD independently owns and operates the reclaimed water distribution system used to deliver
recycled water to customer sites. GWD is regulated under separate water recycling requirements than
the Goleta Sanitary District.
Recycled Water Hauling Program
For the Recycled Water Hauling Program, GWD will be the user and applicator of recycled water. GWD’s
responsibilities will include recycled water training, coordination of customer agreements, maintenance
and operation of the recycled water truck, managing the RWA, and maintaining and submitting
customer site reports.
Dual Plumbed System/Flushing of Urinals and Toilets and Cooling Towers
For dual plumbed system and cooling tower customers, GWD will be the distributor of recycled water
and GWD customers will be the users of recycled water. All Users must enter into a recycled water user
agreement. Users of recycled water for dual plumbed systems will be responsible for following the
current recycled water customer procedure as managed by the District’s Recycled Water Specialist.
Backup or supplemental water will be required in all dual plumbed buildings. When the supply of
recycled water to the building is inadequate, a tank may be filled with potable water via an air gap.
Water shall be handled the same as recycled water from that point and may then be supplied to all the
approved water closets and urinals within the building.
9
Section 4-B
Page 39
No physical connection is permitted between the recycled and potable water systems. No hose bibs
shall be supplied with recycled water. Construction plans are required for approval by the District
recycled water specialist and DDW‐authorized County of Santa Barbara Environmental Health Services
representative. Potential users for dual plumbed sites and cooling towers include the UCSB’s Main
Campus and other developments. See Section 4.5 for more information regarding the responsibilities of
recycled water users for dual plumbed systems.
2.4 Raw Wastewater
Raw wastewater is collected by Goleta Sanitary District from the unincorporated area of the Goleta
Valley immediately west of and adjacent to the City of Santa Barbara, and a portion of the City of Goleta
around and easterly of the Santa Barbara Municipal Airport. In addition, Goleta Sanitary District treats
wastewater under contract with the Goleta West Sanitary District, which serves the remaining western
portion of the City of Goleta, and the unincorporated area of Isla Vista. Goleta Sanitary District also
serves the University of California at Santa Barbara; the Santa Barbara Municipal Airport, which belongs
to the City of Santa Barbara; and certain Santa Barbara County facilities.
The wastewater treatment system consists of primary settling, biofiltration, activated sludge, secondary
clarification, chlorine disinfection, and dechlorination (Exhibit M). For an in depth description of the
chemical quality of raw wastewater, see the Goleta Sanitary District’s 2012 Annual Pretreatment Report
for Monitoring and Reporting Program No. R3‐2012‐0012, NPDES Permit #CA0048160. Approximately
4% of the total flow from the service area is from industrial sources and Goleta Sanitary District
diligently samples and monitors influent heavy metals as summarized in the 2012 Annual Pretreatment
Report. These sources have been monitored since 1975, when the Goleta Sanitary District initiated its
pretreatment program.
Goleta Sanitary District’s source control programs include their pretreatment program, a Fats, Oils, and
Grease (FOG) source control program currently monitoring 90 food service establishments (FSEs). Each
year Goleta Sanitary District samples FSE’s interceptor, and Goleta Sanitary District follows up
appropriately for non‐compliance. Goleta Sanitary District’s collections staff exceeds the preventative
maintenance requirements of the FOG Source Control Program. More information on Goleta Sanitary
District’s Source Control Programs can be found in the 2012 Annual Pretreatment Report (Exhibit N).
2.5 Treatment Processes
The Goleta Sanitary District operates a tertiary recycled water treatment plant located in the same
location as the wastewater treatment plant described above. The recycled water treatment plant was
approved in 1990 with the joint Goleta Water District and Goleta Sanitary District Engineering Report
(Exhibit O). Disinfected tertiary recycled water is filtered and subsequently disinfected meeting Title 22,
Section 60301.20 criteria.
10
Section 4-B
Page 40
Coagulation and Flocculation
Secondary effluent enters the reclamation facilities where a flash mixer disperses aluminum sulfate
(alum) and polymer into the water. The mixing intensity is 750 turns/second with two alum feed pumps
at 5 GPH capacity each. The alum dose is between 5‐15 mg/L. Detention time is 8.8 minutes.
Filtration
The flocculated secondary effluent is then gravity filtered through a bed of anthracite coal where the
floc is removed. There are four filters with a rate of 4.8 gpm/square foot. The filter media is composed
of 48 inches of anthracite. There are two backwash pumps with a backwash rate of 12 GPM/ square
foot. The filter loading rate does not exceed 5 gallons per minute per square foot of surface area.
Filtered wastewater does not exceed an average 2 NTU within a 24‐hour period, 5 NTU more than 5% of
the time in a 24 hour period, or 10 NTU at any time.
Disinfection
Recycled water is then sent to a contact chamber where liquid sodium hypochlorite is applied to meet
disinfection requirements at the front end of the chlorine contact channel. A study performed on
November 13th, 2014, determined that the chlorine disinfection contractor modal contact time is at least
92.9 minutes which complies with the requirements in Title 22, Section 60301.230. The study was
accepted by the State Water Resources Control Board on January 8, 2015. The chlorinated filtered water
is then stored in an underground 3 million‐gallon storage tank until distribution. The chlorine
disinfection process following filtration provides a CT (product of total chlorine residuals and modal
contact time measured at the same point) value of not less than 450 milligram‐minutes per liter at all
times with a modal contact time of more than 90 minutes as specified above.
Recycled Water Quality
Recycled water effluent turbidity is monitored continuously with two on‐line HACH turbidimeters.
Permit limits for reclaimed water effluent turbidity must be met following filtration and may not exceed
a mean of 2 nephelometric turbidity units (NTU), or a maximum of 5 NTU which cannot be exceeded
more than 5% of the time during any 24 hour period. Maximum daily turbidity. Monthly average values
were stable and fluctuated between a low of 0.2 to a high of 1 NTU. At no time during the year did the
mean turbidity exceed the 2 NTU limit (2014 Reclaimed Water Annual Report).
Total suspended solids ranged from a monthly averaged low of 1.6 mg/L in June and July to an averaged
high of 3.9 mg/L in December. The reclamation facility is very effective at removing suspended solids
from secondary effluent as evidenced by the consistently low suspended solids concentrations in
reclaimed water (2014 Reclaimed Water Annual Report).

Table 1: Goleta Sanitary District 2014 monthly averages for recycled water.
By providing a bank to draw on when demand is high, the storage reservoir allows the plant to operate
at a steady rate regardless of demand. Tertiary treated recycled water is pumped through pipelines to
the University of California, Santa Barbara, local parks and schools, Sandpiper and Glen Annie Golf
Courses, Bacara Resort, business parks, and other customers. Further information regarding the
treatment of recycled water can be found in the Goleta Sanitary District’s Reclaimed Water 2014 Annual
Report.
2.6 Plant Reliability Features
A detailed description of plant reliability features can be found in the original Engineering Report
(Exhibit O).
2.7 Supplemental Water Supply
Customers will required to sign an agreement recognizing they are not guaranteed the delivery of
potable or recycled water in the event that tertiary recycled water cannot be provided by the Recycled
Water Hauling Program .
For the dual plumbed system and cooling tower users, the District will provide potable water when
recycled water is not available through the User’s back‐up potable water supply facility. Users will be
required to submit a description and plan of the back‐up water supply facilities.

Section 4-B
Page 42
2.8 Monitoring and Reporting
The Monitoring and Reporting Plan already exists and is described further in the Goleta Sanitary
District’s Reclaimed Water 2013 Annual Report and the original Engineering Report (Exhibit O). GWD has
an existing reporting system consistent with its Master Permit 97‐06.
For the Recycled Water Hauling Program, the RWA, as the designated User Site Supervisor, will collect
all necessary information from the Recycled Water Hauling Program Manager. The RWA will submit
quarterly observations and use data reports per GWD’s Monitoring and Reporting Program 97‐06 to
GWD’s Recycled Water Specialist, whose contact information is provided in Exhibit B. A Salt and Nutrient
Management Plan for the Goleta Groundwater Basin is currently being developed by GWD as a
component of the update to the 2010 Groundwater Management Plan for the Goleta Water District and
La Cumbre Mutual Water Company. The point of contact for the development of this plan is provided in
Exhibit B.
2.9 Contingency Plan
Recycled Water Hauling Program
In the event that wastewater is inadequately treated to tertiary standards, the recycled water filling
truck will not collect recycled water from the recycled water filling station. Goleta Sanitary District will
notify GWD if recycled water does not meet tertiary standards. Customers of GWD’s Recycled Water
Hauling Program will be required to sign an agreement that specifies the delivery of recycled water is
not guaranteed in this instance.
Dual Plumbed System/Flushing of Urinals and Toilets and Cooling Towers
Sites with indoor recycled water for flushing of urinals and toilets and/or cooling towers will be required
to have potable water back‐up supply. Dual plumbed system users will be required to submit a
description and drawings of their back‐up water supply facility to the District as part of an Engineering
Report. Cooling tower customers will be required to submit a description and drawing of back‐up water
supply facilities for the cooling tower. If recycled water service is shutdown, back up water must be
delivered through an air gap. Goleta Sanitary District is responsible for notifying the GWD of any
recycled water emergencies. GWD will immediately inform all recycled water users of emergency and/or
shortage. Reports of all incidents will be filed with the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control
Board.
The user supervisor or worker must notify the District immediately if the following occurs:
a. The on‐site drinking water‐supply appears to have been contaminated due to a connection to
the recycled water system.
b. Any emergencies, such as an interruption of recycled water supply or unusual appearance of
color and/or odor in the recycled water.
13
Section 4-B
Page 43
c. Any unauthorized release of recycled water that leaves the user’s site (resulting from breaks
and/or leaks. etc.
In the event of an emergency (M‐F, 8 AM to 5 PM) or to obtain additional information concerning the
District’s recycled water or distribution system, they shall contact the District’s Recycled Water
Coordinator at (805) 879‐4652. For after‐hour emergencies, they shall contact the District's 24‐Hour
telephone service at (805) 964‐6761.
3 TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS
GWD owns, operates, and maintains all recycled water transmission and distribution pipelines from the
Goleta Sanitary District to the meters of 24 existing customers. Current and future customers will
receive water through a metered connection to the District distribution system or by truck as described
previously. The distribution system consists of water mains, service lines, meters, pumps, etc., and
District approved recycled water truck(s). The User's onsite plumbing, including dual plumbing,
landscape irrigation or approved storage (such as lined pond) is not considered part of the District
distribution system.
4 USE AREAS
Recycled Water Hauling Program
The use areas for the Recycled Water Hauling Program will extend from GWD’s service area and El
Capitan to the west, Carpinteria to the east, the Santa Ynez Mountains to the north, and the Pacific
Ocean to the south. Detailed maps of these use areas are in Exhibits A and C‐G. GWD will be responsible
for the distribution of recycled water to each customer site. Agencies involved in the program are listed
in Exhibit B. All areas to receive recycled water whether on public or private land shall have a visible
sign, in a size no less than 4 inches high by 8 inches wide, that include the wording, “Recycled Water –
Do Not Drink.” An international symbol must be provided on the signage with a glass of water with a
slash through it (Figure 60310‐A, Title 22). Example signage can be found in Exhibit I.
Dual Plumbed System/Flushing of Urinals and Toilets and Cooling Towers
All dual plumbed systems must be within the District boundary and receive metered water through the
District distribution system. GWD will be responsible for the distribution to the use area through the
recycled water distribution pipeline. All users applying for recycled water for the purposes of a dual
plumbed system will be required to submit plans and specifications to GWD, which will be reviewed by
Santa Barbara County, and DDW. Dual plumbed system users will be responsible for submitting an
Engineering Report to GWD. All rooms in commercial, industrial, and institutional occupancies using
recycled water, including all restrooms with recycled water for toilet and urinal flushing shall be
identified with signs. The international symbol must be provided on the signage with a glass of water
with a slash through it (Figure 60310‐A, Title 22). Signs shall read, “RECYCLED WATER – DO NOT DRINK.”
14
Section 4-B
Page 44
Signage shall be affixed to the toilet or urinal or bathroom stall with font at least 0.5 inches tall. Further,
each room containing recycled water equipment shall have a sign of at least 1 inch font reading,
“CAUTION RECYCLED WATER, DO NOT DRINK, DO NOT CONNECT TO DRINKING WATER SYSTEM” with
the international symbol mentioned above.
4.1 Irrigation
The GWD RWA will be trained on the proper application of recycled water to landscapes. The trained
RWA will not apply recycled water when it is raining, nor to saturated soil. Recycled water application
will not exceed the agronomic rate nor create spray to cause a nuisance or threat to public health. The
application will minimize ponding of recycled water and any subsequent runoff. Utilizing general
irrigation estimates, an average turf lawn should receive approximately 0.75 gallons of water per square
foot per application. An average GWD residential lawn of 1,500 square feet would require 1,125 gallons
each time it is watered. On average, a GWD resident may also have 500 square feet of landscape plants
such as flowers, shrubs, bushes, and trees with an estimated water need of 0.5 gallons per square foot.
Thus, the average non‐turf landscape water need would be 250 gallons per residence. Accordingly, the
total estimated customer delivery for an average lawn and landscaped yard in GWD would be 1,375
gallons. When customers apply to the program, an estimate is made for the appropriate site specific
volume based on the square footage of the landscape. The volume of recycled water requested is not
guaranteed due to Title 22 procedures to minimize ponding and eliminate runoff.
As mentioned above, there shall be a pre‐inspection of the property to ensure the site is compliant with
Title 22, Article 4 Use Area Requirements. Irrigation shall be confined to the designated recycled water
use area. Spray mist, or runoff shall not enter dwellings, designated eating areas, or food handling
facilities. Drinking water fountains shall be covered when applying recycled water. Coordination with
customers to determine the best time of delivery will minimize public interaction with recycled water
(e.g. when golf courses are closed). The RWA will advise members of the public in the area to keep at
least 50 feet away from irrigated areas. As additional warning to the public, use areas will have the
required signage mentioned above.
If the site requests recycled water be delivered into a fixed irrigation system, the site will be required to
have a physical separation between the irrigation system and the potable system. A shutdown, cross‐
connection control test will be performed prior to recycled water delivery to ensure that no physical
connection exists between the recycled water system and any separate system conveying potable
water. The backflow prevention device shall be inspected and maintained in accordance with Section
7605 of Title 17. The hose will only be connected to the recycled water hauling truck and will be
operated by the GWD RWA.
4.2 Impoundments
The Recycled Water Hauling Program will not result in the use of recycled water for impoundment
purposes.
15
Section 4-B
Page 45
4.3 Cooling
Users will be responsible for submitting all plans, specifications, and descriptions for the cooling tower
system and potable‐water back‐up supply. Designs, plans and specifications shall include:
Description/location of recycled water use area
Site piping diagram illustrating compliance with all separation requirements
Description of pipe/valve labeling scheme
Description and location of backflow prevention
Description and location of signage
Description (manufacturer’s specifications) for drift eliminator(s). All new or retrofitted
cooling towers must include a high efficiency drift eliminator that serves to collect and
condense fine mist
Description of proposed bacteriological control system that meets Department of
Drinking Water standards. Also to include schematic flow diagrams if appropriate.
Description and plan of back‐up water supply
Location of connection(s) to sanitary sewer system
These plans and specifications will be reviewed by GWD, County of Santa Barbara, Environmental Health
Services, and DDW. If recycled water is used inside the building for uses beyond cooling, the building will
be considered dual‐plumbed and must also comply with dual‐plumbed system requirements in this
Engineering Report and in Section 4.5.
Whenever a cooling system, using recycled water in conjunction with an air conditioning facility, utilizes
a cooling tower or otherwise creates a mist that could come into contact with employees or members of
the public, the cooling system shall comply with the following: (1) A drift eliminator shall be used
whenever the cooling system is in operation. (2) A chlorine, or other, biocide shall be used to treat the
cooling system recirculating water to minimize the growth of Legionella and other microorganisms (Title
22, Section 60306 Use of Recycled Water for Cooling).
Sites will be required to pass an initial cross‐connection control test by GWD’s Cross Connection Control
Specialist, and any test required thereafter. All sites will have an annual visual inspection following
GWD’s current Recycled Water User Agreement, Rules and Regulations. The visual inspection will be
conducted by GWDs Recycled Water Specialist and Site Supervisor. Results will be included in the annual
monitoring report. No physical connection shall be made or allowed to exist between the recycled water
system and any separate system conveying potable water. The portions of recycled water piping system
that are in areas subject to access by the general public shall not include any hose bibs. Backflow
prevention devices will be required as close as practical to the meter(s) for all potable services on the
property, and shall be inspected and maintained in accordance with Section 7605 of Title 17.
Users will be required to have advisory signs to inform workers and the general public that recycled
water is in use, especially when there is probability of coming into contact with recycled water. Signs
shall read, “RECYCLED WATER – DO NOT DRINK.” The international symbol must be provided on the
16
Section 4-B
Page 46
signage with a glass of water with a slash through it (Figure 60310‐A, Title 22). Signage shall be with font
at least 0.5 inches tall. Each room containing recycled water equipment shall have a sign of at least 1
inch font reading, “CAUTION RECYCLED WATER, DO NOT DRINK, DO NOT CONNECT TO DRINKING
WATER SYSTEM.”
4.4 Groundwater Recharge
The Recycled Water Hauling Program will not result in the use of recycled water for groundwater
recharge purposes.
4.5 Dual Plumbed Use Areas
GWD is requesting the additional use of recycled water for flushing toilets and urinals within the GWD
service area supplied through service connections from the GWD distribution system. Recycled water for
indoor use will be in compliance with Article 5 Dual Plumbed Recycled Water Systems in Title 22. No
recycled water shall be used for indoor use to a facility that’s primary purpose is to process food
products and beverages. GWD will not deliver recycled water to a facility using a dual plumbed system
unless the report required pursuant to section 13522.5 of the Water Code has been submitted and
approved by the regulatory agency. GWD will require an initial cross connection control test at the dual
plumbed site. Additionally, GWD will require the customer to submit plans and an Emergency Response
Plan to GWD and County of Santa Barbara Environmental Health Services for review. GWD’s Rules and
Regulations for Recycled Water can be found in Exhibit L.
All rooms in commercial, industrial, and institutional occupancies using recycled water for toilet and
urinal flushing shall be identified with signs. Signs shall read, “RECYCLED WATER – DO NOT DRINK” and
shall be affixed to the toilet or urinal with font at least 0.5 inches tall. Further, each room containing
recycled water equipment shall have a sign of at least 1 inch font reading, “CAUTION RECYCLED WATER,
DO NOT DRINK, DO NOT CONNECT TO DRINKING WATER SYSTEM.”
The designated Site Supervisor for the site utilizing recycled water for the purposes of toilet and urinal
flushing will submit written quarterly observations and data to the GWD Recycled Water Specialist. The
site will also be annually inspected by the GWD Recycled Water Specialist. Per Title 22, GWD will test the
dual plumbed system for possible cross connection with the potable water system every four years
(60316. Operation Requirements, Title 22). Additional information on GWD’s updated Rules,
Regulations, and Standard Specifications for Recycled Water is located in Exhibit L. These records will be
submitted to the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board per the General Waste Discharge
Requirements for Recycled Water Use. GWD will contract a building inspector to properly inspect the
dual plumbed systems to ensure there is no cross connection and all proper backflow prevention
devices are in place. All dual plumbed systems will be reviewed for compliance with Title 22 and other
regulatory codes.
17
Section 4-B
Page 47
In addition to the existing University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) Bren Hall Building, Goleta
Beach, and the United States Postal Service Storke location, potential future customers requesting
recycled water for toilet and urinal flushing include UCSB for new student housing developments.
4.6 Other Industrial Uses
The Recycled Water Hauling Program will not result in the use of recycled water for other industrial
uses.
4.7 Use Area Design
Recycled Water Hauling Program
The domestic water distribution systems of the entities to receive recycled water shall be protected
from the recycled water of the GWD Recycled Water Hauling Program in accordance with the
regulations relating to cross connections. If the site requests recycled water to be delivered to a fixed
irrigation system, the site will be required to have a physical separation between the irrigation system
and the potable system. A shutdown, cross‐connection control test will be performed prior to recycled
water delivery to ensure that no physical connection exists between the recycled water system and any
separate system conveying potable water.
All air gaps and backflow prevention devices will be required to be inspected annually. Failure to comply
with inspection requirements will result in termination of authorized delivery of recycled water to the
subject site.
Recycled water delivered through the Recycled Water Hauling Program shall remain on the authorized
use area at all times. Accordingly, application of recycled water will not occur when it is raining, when
the soil is saturated, or at an agronomic rate that would allow for the ponding and runoff of recycled
water off the designated use site.
Dual Plumbed System/Flushing of Urinals and Toilets and Cooling Towers
Every customer must apply for and obtain approval for onsite dual plumbing and landscape irrigation
prior to approval of a recycled water connection. Submitted plans must conform to the District, DDW
permit requirements, as well as any other applicable local and state statutes. Plans must receive signed
approval from a District Recycled Water Specialist and DDW authorized representative (currently County
of Santa Barbara Environmental Health Services). GWD will perform an initial cross‐connection test at
dual plumb and cooling tower recycled water sites. GWD will also contract inspect the dual plumbed
system for compliance and protection from cross‐connection contamination. Additional information on
GWD’s updated Rules, Regulations, and Standard Specifications for Recycled Water is located in Exhibit
L.
4.8 Use Area Inspection and Monitoring
The inspections and monitoring program will be consistent with the existing Central Coast California
Regional Water Quality Control Board Monitoring and Reporting Program No. 97‐06. GWD‐trained staff
will perform annual visual inspections of each site receiving recycled water, including the Recycled
18
Section 4-B
Page 48
Water Hauling Program, to ensure compliance with public notification and backflow prevention.
Inspection records will be maintained at the GWD headquarters.
Recycled Water Hauling Program
On a monthly basis, GWD staff will inspect and log all recycled water hauling vehicles to verify that the
vehicles are capable of carrying recycled water without leaks. A written report of each vehicle will be
prepared for each quarterly report.
Dual Plumbed System/Flushing of Urinals and Toilets and Cooling Towers
The designated Site Supervisor for the site utilizing recycled water for dual plumbed systems and cooling
towers will submit written quarterly observations and data to GWD’s Recycled Water Specialist. The site
will also be annually inspected by the GWD Recycled Water Specialist. Per Title 22, GWD will test the
dual plumbed system for possible cross connection with the potable water system every four years
(60316. Operation Requirements, Title 22).
4.9 Employee Training
GWD will conduct an initial training session with the RWA and any persons to be involved with the
program. All Site Supervisors will undergo training with GWD’s Recycled Water Specialist. The training
manual is attached in Exhibit K.

This manual is only a guideline and does not constitute a legal or binding agreement
between responsible parties from which liability could occur. Since Santa Barbara
County Environmental Health Services ("EHS"), California Regional Water Quality
Control Board Central Coast Region ("RWQCB") and other concerned regulatory
agencies have jurisdiction over the use of recycled water, additional specific
requirements for individual users may apply.
The Goleta Water District provides this user manual for anyone involved in the use of
recycled (non potable) water received from the Goleta Water District recycled water
distribution system (generated from the Goleta Sanitary District Reclamation Facility.)
These guidelines are not intended to be used in place of local laws, State regulations or

1.2.2 Goleta Water District Contact Information
Detailed requirements regarding the use of recycled water are contained in the Goleta Water
District Code, Title 7 Recycled Water System Rules and Regulations ("Rules and Regulations").
The user supervisor in charge of recycled water operations should have a copy of the Rules and
Regulations for reference.
SECTION TWO
This section provides guidelines for the design of user’s on-site transmission/distribution
facilities. Cross-connection control is necessary to prevent any element of a recycled water
distribution system from mistakenly being connected to a potable water system. The location,
depth, mode of identification and types of aboveground appurtenances such as hose
connections, air/vacuum assemblies and blow-offs should be studied carefully in order to avoid
cross-connections and ensure appropriate use of recycled water.
2.1 PRESSURE
Pressure requirements will be based on user system design. It is intended that the District will
maintain minimum pressure at the user’s meter at the peak demand hour.
Recycled water lines parallel to potable water or sanitary sewer lines in the user's system shall
be installed at least ten feet away horizontally. Recycled water lines perpendicular to potable
water lines shall be installed at least one foot below the potable water line. Recycled water lines
perpendicular to sanitary sewer lines shall be installed at least one foot higher than the sanitary
sewer lines. In situations where separations cannot be maintained, the District may require
special construction practices. Approval will be required from EHS, RWQCB and other
5
Section 4-B
Page 76
concerned regulatory agencies.
Disconnect potable water services from potable water pipelines, which have been converted to
recycled water use. If the existing line meets the approval of the District, EHS, RWQCB and
other concerned regulatory agencies, except for the pipe identification; the line will be approved
for recycled water distribution.
2.3.2 Identification Pipe. Purple colored pipe, or purple polyethylene vinyl wrap, with the
words "CAUTION: RECYCLED WATER," printed on the pipe is the preferred method of pipe
identification. The warning should be stamped on opposite sides of the pipe, repeated every
three feet.
Consistently identify all surface appurtenances, valve boxes and other surfaces. Use color-
coded (purple) with the words "CAUTION: RECYCLED WATER" to differentiate recycled water
facilities from potable water and wastewater facilities.

SECTION FOUR
ON-SITE APPLICATIONS
While not normally needed, the installation and operation of strainers on recycled waterlines
shall be the responsibility of the user. Strainers should be of sufficient size to remove particles
that would otherwise plug irrigation nozzles.
The following requirements are needed when irrigation controllers are used to automatically
open and close the on-site distribution valves:
• Fully automatic
• Capable of delivering water from five minutes to 60 minutes per each start time
• Labeled inside and outside to warn others the system is using recycled water
Always alert the system's maintenance personnel of any important constraints on the operation of the
system.
An appropriate sized drawing of the area served by the controller should be sealed in a
protective plastic cover, placed in the controller and updated when the system operation or
configuration has changed.
Completely separate recycled water systems from the domestic water supply system.
Connections between these systems are not allowed. Dual water systems require the prior
approval of the District, EHS, RWQCB and other concerned regulatory agencies for air gaps or
backflow prevention devices. If potable water is needed as a backup source of supply for the
recycled water systems, an approved air gap must be provided to prevent a cross- connection
and protect the potable water system.
8
Section 4-B
Page 79
Backflow prevention devices are not normally used on
recycled water systems. However, in order for the District to
maintain the water quality in the recycled water distribution
system, a backflow prevention device may be required at a
specific meter where on-site exposures could affect the
quality of the recycled water supply.
The user's recycled water system shall be clearly identified to differentiate it from the potable
water system.
Hose Bibs are not allowed on recycled water irrigation systems. Use quick couplers if hose
connections are necessary. Fittings shall be such that interconnection cannot be made
between the potable and recycled water systems. Install signs to clearly identify the recycled
water quick coupling and potable water quick couplers within 60 feet of a recycled water system.
Hoses used for recycled water conveyance shall not be used on potable water systems.
The location and design of potable water drinking fountains must meet the requirements of the
District's RWQCB, Order No. 97-06, and California Code of Regulations, Title 22, by means of a
stainless steel cover approved by the RWQCB.
Clearly identify water trucks, hoses, drop tanks and related equipment with signage
stating recycled water is not suitable for human consumption.
Obtain advanced approval from the District regarding the use of recycled water for
construction purposes. Provide the District sufficient time to review the request before
construction begins.
Carefully instruct equipment operators on the requirements involving the proper use and
the potential hazards of recycled water described in the District’s User Manual.
Remember that recycled water cannot be introduced into any domestic water piping
system and no connection can be made between equipment containing recycled water
and any part of the domestic water system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Water recycling is a safe way to preserve our natural water resource. In addition, recycled water
projects are designed and operated to protect public health. Careful monitoring by responsible
local health authorities and water quality control agencies also ensures a highly treated, filtered
and disinfected product that meets the State Department of Health Services criteria.
Recycled water is the end product of a three-stage treatment process in which municipal
wastewater is settled out, biologically oxidized, clarified, chemically coagulated, filtered and
disinfected. The resulting water is clear and colorless. Although recycled water may have a
slight chlorine smell, it is visibly indistinguishable from tap water to the human eye.
Beyond
what the senses can perceive, recycled water does not contain any constituents that exceed
federal and state drinking water standards for heavy metals, minerals, trace organic
compounds, pesticides and microorganisms. However, this process does not treat recycled
water to drinking water standards.
Are there any health or water quality laws that apply to recycled water?
There are very stringent water quality laws that apply to recycled water. The State Department
of Health Services standards for recycled water are referred to as "Title 22." These standards
are incorporated in Title 22, Chapter 3, Division 4 of the California Code of Regulations, with
stipulations applying to various types of reuse, and levels of required treatment.
Title 22 allows for many uses of recycle water. The uses for recycled water include irrigation of
food crops, parks, playgrounds, school yards, residential landscaping, cemeteries, freeway
landscaping, golf courses, ornamental nurseries, pasture for animals, orchards, and vineyards.
In addition, recycled water can be used for fishing or boating recreational impoundments, fish
hatcheries, cooling towers and decorative fountains. Other allowable uses include flushing
toilets and urinals, industrial process water, commercial laundries, making artificial snow, soil
compaction, mixing concrete and flushing sanitary sewers.
There are various constituents in recycled water that exceed those found in the drinking water
supply, including total dissolved solids (or salts). For example, although recycled water contains
a slightly higher salt content, turf grass irrigated with recycled water will continue to flourish.
With proper drainage and good management, landscape irrigated with recycled water will
continue to thrive. Moreover, there are some constituents, such as nitrogen and phosphorus
found in recycled water. These constituents are beneficial for plant growth, and will serve as an
additional "fertilizing" source.

RE: SB 814
Introduction
As you asked, we write to provide our opinion regarding compliance with
SB 814, which was approved by Governor Brown last month and becomes effective in
January of 2017. This new legislation requires water agencies to establish a method to
identify and discourage excess residential water use when the Governor has declared a
state of emergency due to drought conditions, or the agency itself has taken action in
response to a local water shortage.
As discussed below, Ordinance 94, which was adopted in March of 2015, satisfies
these requirements.
Analysis
SB 814 adds sections 365 through 367 to the Water Code, requiring “urban retail
water suppliers” such as the District to establish a method to identify and discourage
excessive water use when one of the following apply:
1 Water Code section 10632 provides elements of the urban water shortage contingency analysis that must
be included in the urban water management plan required under Water Code sections 10620 et seq.
169359.1
Section 4-C
Page 5
Gary Geuss, Riverside City Attorney
March 16, 2016
Page 2
(Wat. Code § 367, subd. (a).)
Water Code section 366 provides the following options for a water supplier to
identify and discourage excess water use under these circumstances:
• The supplier may establish a rate structure, subject to constitutional and statutory
limitations, that includes block tiers, water budgets or rate surcharges for
excessive water consumption by a residential customer;
• The supplier may establish an excessive water use ordinance that identifies and
addresses excessive residential water use, with penalties that may include a fine
of up to $500 per hcf for excessive use. Under this option, an appeals process
must be established for the customer to contest imposition of the penalty.
Ordinance 94 satisfies the second option by identifying excessive use on the basis of
water allocation, imposing penalties for use in excess of allocation, and providing an
appeals process. (Ord. 94, § 4, § 8, § 10.)
After the current drought conditions have abated, the District will presumably
declare that the water shortage emergency has ended and discontinue enforcement of
Ordinance 94, either through repeal or amendment to permit its application only during
times of water shortage emergency. If the ordinance is eventually repealed, the District
will be required to adopt similar legislation during future water shortage emergencies,
as required under SB 814.
Conclusion
As discussed above, we conclude that Ordinance 94 complies with SB 814.
Thank you for the opportunity to assist. If we can provide any further assistance,
please contact Michael at (530) 432‐7357 or MColantuono@chwlaw.us or Amy at

MONTECITO WATER DISTRICT
MEMORANDUM
SECTION: 5-C
RECOMMENDATION:
The Finance Committee recommends that Board review its current investment of the
District’s unrestricted reserves and cash currently on deposit with State of California –
Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and reinvest these funds in a Medium Term Fund
with CalTRUST, a Joint Powers Agency, to take advantage of CalTRUST’s higher
interest rate.
BACKGROUND;
As of October 19, the District had approximately $11.5M of unrestricted reserves and
cash. The majority of this cash is invested in LAIF in accordance with the District’s
investment policy. The effective yield for the month of September 2016 was 0.634%
DISCUSSION:
The Committee has reviewed and recommends that the District invest its funds with the
Investment Trust of California (CalTRUST). Organized as a Joint Powers Authority
(“JPA”), CalTRUST is a program established by public agencies in California for the
purpose of pooling and investing local agency funds – operating reserves as well as
bond proceeds. The fund is currently managed by Wells Capital Management, an
institutional investment management firm and part of Wells Fargo Asset Management.
A Board of Trustees supervises and administers the investment program of the Trust.
The Board is comprised of experienced investment officers and policy-makers of the
public agency members.
Section 5-C
Page 1
CalTRUST provides local agencies with investment options across the 0-5 year maturity
range as follows:
1. Target Duration of CalTRUST Short-Term Fund is 0-2 years per adopted Investment Policy Guidelines. Present strategic
positioning direction from Board of Trustees calls for a target duration of 0.5-1.0 years.
2. Fees for LAIF are expressed as a percentage of quarterly investment earnings rather than total assets. The 2.48%
reflects fees for the second quarter of 2015 (April 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015).
3. CalTRUST holds no Wells Fargo stock or Wells Fargo Debt Securities.

Monthly Market Update
October 2016 Volume 12 Number 10
8/31/2016
Positive monthly returns 62% of the time compared to only about
1.0 55% of the time when the EYI was below zero.
9/30/2016
Moreover, in months when the 10-year bond yield rose and the EYI
was above zero, the S&P 500 Index increased at almost a 10%
0.5 annualized rate, versus only a 0.61% pace when the EYI was
negative.
9/30/2015
In looking forward to 2017, with commodity prices having stabilized
0.0 and begun rising modestly, Jim sees a modest pickup in earnings
growth and a positive EYI. This is probably sufficient to keep the
market rising -- even in the face of Fed rate hikes.
