MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING
OF THE
WATER BOARD - CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
Held Wednesday, May 11, 1994, 4:30 p.m., Water Resources Conference Room, 1000 Buena Vista
Road, Bakersfield, CA 93311.
I. The meeting was called to order by Boardmember Salvaggio
2. Present: Mark Salvaggio, Chair;
Randy Rowles
Absent: Conni Brunni, Vice-Chair
3. Boardmember Rowles made a motion to approve the minutes of the meeting held March 16,
1994. Motion approved.
4. A public statement was made by Mr. Joe Garone who spoke on the Upper Kern Island
Water Association and the Kern Delta Water District's supply of old area water to the panhandle
of the Kern Island sen, ice area. Mr. Garone asked for the City's support in protecting the water
being taken from the old area to the panhandle area because it would be mutually beneficial to the
City. Boardmember Rowles stated he would have a conflict of interest and would have to absent
"" himself from the meeting if there was any further discussion or action taken on this item. Since it
was not appropriate to discuss this item further, Boardmember Salvaggio thanked Mr. Garone and
said that his request would be discussed in closed session.
There were no further public statements.
5.A~ The 1994 Kern River yield and water supply projections were presented to the Board by Mr.
Core. 1994 is forecasted to be 43% of normal and will yield 200,000 acre feet for the April-July
period. The City will be using all 1994 entitlements plus Isabella carryover storage to meet City
agricultural contract deliveries. The City will go into the fall season with little or no storage. There
will be virtually no chance of having Kern River water in the river channel this summer. Board
information, no action required or taken.
6.A. A letter from Rodney Powers, addressed to Boardmember Brunni and referred from City
Council to the Water Board concerning Vaughn Mutual Water Company rates was presented by
Alan Daniel, Assistant City Attorney. Mr. Daniel suggested that a letter be sent to Mr. Powers
stating that the City has no direct control over Vaughn Water Company rates since they are a
separate public entity, everyone in that district has voting fights and can approach their board to ask
for an explanation or reduction of the water rates. Boardmember Rowles recommended a letter be
written to Mr. Powers, stating the City's position, have Boardmember Brunni review before final
signature and mailing. Board information, no action required or taken.
.. 7.A. An agreement with Texaco, Inc. and North Kern Water Storage District for discharge of
oilfield wastewater into the Beardsley-Lerdo Canal system was brought before the Board.
Boardmember Rowles excused himself from discussion on this item due to a conflict of interest.
Mr. Core explained the agreement was to substitute for an existing contract concerning oilfield
discharge to the Beardsley-Lerdo Canal, with primary changes occurring in the method of calculating
the discharge fee that will be based upon the quality of the water so discharged. Judy Skousen,
Acting City Attorney, recommended that due to lack of quorum, this agreement go to City Council
with no action by the Board. Board information, no action taken..
Boardmember Rowles returned to the meeting.
7.B. Mr. Core presented the 1994-95 Agricultural Water Price and Sand Sale Schedule for Board
review. The recommended rates are in response to the forecasted dry year Kern River supplies.
The Basic Contracts prices are unchanged at $20 per acre foot, miscellaneous surface water will be
increased to $26 per acre foot and other categories will be changed to reflect contractual price
escalators. Motion by Salvaggio to recommend City Manager to execute the Executive Order.
Motion approved.
7.C. Mr. Core presented the 1994-1995 Domestic Water Rate Schedules to the Board. The
schedules reflect rate increases that will go into effect on October 1, 1994 and April 1, 1995. These
rates will increase the average monthly residential water bill by $0.62 in the fall and $0.62 next
spring. The primary reasons for the increases are the imposition of higher pump taxes on the
groundwater production and the lingering effects of the drought. A rate comparison chart showing
the City's rates in comparison to other water company rates was included with the agenda package.
Alan Tandy, City Manager, commented that if the rate increase is not approved it delays the City's
ability to move forward and implement the Interface Project that will go a long way towards rate
stabilization. Boardmember Rowles asked to suspend action on this item until later in the agenda.
7.D. Assembly Bill 2673 (Cortese) was brought before the Board by Mr. Daniel. Mr. Daniel
commented that the Bill would give outside water purveyors or agencies more power and authority
to impact the City's ability to prepare general plans or amendments to plans. Mr. Daniel
recommended that a resolution or letter be sent, signed by the Water Board, to the legislature saying
the City opposes this Bill. Boardmember Rowles felt that the City should plan its own water
supplies and agreed that a letter of opposition be sent to our area state legislators as well as
members of the assembly committee. Motion by Boardmember Rowles to prepare letter of
opposition to AB2673 and letter be signed by the full Council and Mayor. Motion approved.
7.C. The Board returned to item 7.C. (the 1994-95 Domestic Water Rate Schedules).
Boardmember Rowles commented that the ability to make rate changes based on other purveyor
rates is inappropriate and that the City should make government services as efficient as possible.
Boardmember Rowles also said he believes it is improper for City to raise water rates to recover win-
lieu" fees and charges to the Domestic Water operations budget, but will support the motion to
approve the new rate schedules because he didn't want to prevent the City from doing business.
Motion by Salvaggio to recommend City Manager to execute the Executive Order. Motion
approved.
7.E. Mr. Core presented to the Board a proposed financing program for completion of the
Agricultural/Domestic Water Interface Project. Staff has asked the City Finance Department to
explore the possibility of using loans, grants or bonding proceeds to complete the Interface Project.
The basis of the Interface Project will be the ability of the City to store excess Kern River water in
the n2800 Acres", recover the water through wells and distribute to customers of the City Domestic
2
Water System. The financing being discussed is for the last phase of the Project, the
regulation/storage tank. Repayment of a loan would be through the savings generated by off-peak
electric power usage for pumping and the avoidance of KCWA imposed groundwater taxes.
Subsequent benefits from the Project are water rate stabilization and excellent quality drinkingwater.
Board information, no action required or taken.
7.F. A letter from the Water Association of Kern County requesting a $1,000 contribution to the
1994 Water Awareness Campaign was brought before the Board by Mr. Core. The Water
Association is asking for contributions from all water purveyors in Bakersfield to finance a major
media public awareness campaign for 1994. Funds are budgeted in the 1994-95 Agricultural and
Domestic Water divisions for this type of program, $500.00 from Ag and $500.00 from Domestic
for this contribution. Motion by Salvaggio to grant the request from the Water Association in the
amount of $1,000.00 to be paid after July 1, 1994. Motion approved.
7.G. Mr. Core presented three Domestic Water Main Extension Contract reassignments. Board
information, no action required or taken.
7.H. A request from Olcese Water District to construct additional water wells in City's "2800
Acres" with first priority use was presented before the Board by Mr. Bogart. By existing agreement,
Olcese Water District, Buena Vista Water Storage District and the City of Bakersfield have an
arrangement for the development of spreading and extraction facilities in the "2800 Acres". Buena
Vista W.S.D. and the City have the right to exercise their full share of well extraction capacity and
in dry years this infringes on Olcese's ability to pump and meet its demands. Olcese has proposed
to City to construct two additional wells and gain first priority to use the new wells. This would be
a modification from the existing City/Olcese Agreement No. 77-07. The City would have first
priority to use the two new wells for direct use in the City Domestic Water system, with City
granting an equivalent capacity to production from other wells in the "2800 Acres". Mr. Tandy
asked Mr. Bogart to cite the advantages and disadvantages to the City. Mr. Bogart stated that the
advantages to the City are that the City gains two additional water wells, at no capital cost to the
City. The wells will produce high quality drinking water that will serve City residents in both
southwest Bakersfield and in Olcese. Boardmember Salvaggio asked of disadvantages. Mr. Bogart
stated none, as long as City residents in Olcese were being served. Boardmember Rowles stated that
this item was worth a further investigation and a presentation of benefits to the City. Mr. Tandy
requested that various scenarios of extreme conditions in the "2800 Acres" be examined to further
analyze City position. Boardmember Salvaggio asked if staff could get back to the Board on this
item. Mr. Bogart said staff would update the Board at a future meeting if the proposal was
firmed-up. Board information, no action required or taken.
7.I. Mr. Bogart presented a Bakersfield Police Department request for use of domestic water
pump station grounds for "K-9" unit training facility. The Bakersfield Police Department "K-9" unit
proposes to use a Domestic Water pump station along Truxtun Avenue, located near the Texaco
parking lot, as a training area. The use of the site will add to the multiple use concept of the
Parkway plan and cause no disruption to the operation of the pump station. Board information, no
action required or taken.
8.A. Motion by Boardmember Salvaggio to adjourn to Closed Session pursuant to Subdivision (c)
of Section 54956.9 of Government Code at 5:57p.m.
Boardmember Rowles stated he would absent himself due to conflict of interest regarding
the Closed Session items.
There would not be a quorum present to discuss the subject.
9. Boardmember Salvaggio reconvened the meeting at 5:58 p.m.. Due to lack of quorum, there
were no discussions or actions resulting from the Closed Session.
10. Motion by Boardmember Salvaggio to adjourn at 5:$9p.m..

Improvements Study
Subject: Technical Memorandum No. 1
Discussion of Economic Issues
Gentlemen:
Attached herewith is a copy of Technical Memorandum No. 1 on
the Northeast Bakersfield Water Supply Improvements Study. This
memorandum presents basic data and calculated economic values for
siting a water treatment plant at a higher elevation in the
Northeast Bakersfield area.
We have reviewed past water studies prepared for the Northeast
Bakersfield area and have compiled basic alignment alternatives for
siting water distribution, storage and treatment facilities. In
order to present these alternatives and to provide a forum for
input from the sponsoring organizations, we have scheduled a
meeting to be held at 9:00 am on Wednesday June 22, 1994. The
meeting will be held at the Olcese Water District Office at 14801
Highway 178, located approximately one fourth mile east of Highway
178 and Alfred Harrell Highway intersection.
After the meeting we will have a tour of the project area with
emphasis on Diversion facilities, storage reservoirs and Treatment
Plant sites.
We look forward to meeting with you on June 22nd to discuss
preliminary siting alternatives. Please call either Joe Gillick or
myself if you have any questions or comments regarding the study.

Northeast Water Treatment Plant
Technical Memorandum One
DISCUSSION OF ECONOMIC ISSUES
This Technical Memorandum will remain in draft form until individual water systems
are able to verify or correct the data used by the authors to calculate present-day
energy costs to deliver water into northeast Bakersfield.
IHTRODUCTIOH
The major reason for locating a water supply at an elevation higher than the service
area is to reduce the cost of pumping water from a lower elevation. The purpose of
this technical memorandum is to place a value on raising the elevation of the source
of water supply to urban Bakersfield to a higher elevation. Knowledge of the
economic impact of alternate diversion sites will help to select the most
appropriate Kern River diversion for water for the proposed Northeast Water
Treatment Plant. The physical features in northeast Bakersfield that are referenced
in this memorandum are identified on the enclosed sketch.
The long-term annual savings in electrical power costs can be represented in several
ways. The most understandable ways to present this information are (1) as a series
of equal payments for power over the life of the project without considering
inflation; and (2) as the present worth of this string of payments. Knowledge of
the present worth of annual power savings permits evaluation of the relative value
of river diversions at different elevations. Present worth can be used to test the
reasonableness of an capital investment to replace a series of annual payments.
If the Northeast Water Treatment Plant is built, ID4's East Pipeline and California
Water Service Company's 36-inch pipeline can be used to deliver water to lower areas
in-lieu of pumping ground water. It is proper to account for this economic
advantage in evaluating the proposed Northeast Water Treatment Plant.
Bases for Economic Calculations
The following present worth calculations are made at six percent for 40years
yielding a present worth factor of I5.046. Reasonable arguments can be made for
selecting different interest rates and economic lifetimes resulting in present worth
factors which might range from a low of 12 to a high of 16.
· Energy savings can be accounted as theoretical energy savings (e.g. Using Kern River
water at a high elevation diversion instead of pumping water from the Delta) or as
operating energy cost savings (e.g. ID4 does not .save the full cost of pumping in
some exchanges of river water for Delta water.)
It may be valuable to have knowledge of both types of energy savings. Theoretical
savings may play an important role in communicating with state and federal agencies
when seeking permits, preparing environmental evaluations, and obtaining grant and
loan assistance for the project. Actual operating or out-of-pocket savings will be
used by individual participants in the project to judge the practicality of their
participation and the adequacy of their rate structure.
With respect to the value of reusing existing pipelines for new purposes, it is
· 14' June 1994 D R A F T Ricks Taylor & Associates

~SCUSS~ON OF E¢ONON~.¢ ~SSUES
appropriate to value these pipelines at their current replacement cost. Pipeline
service life can be more than 100 years.
POTENTIAL COST SAVINGS -- CONCLUSIONS
The current annual cost for energy to lift water to serve northeast Bakersfield is
approximately $6 million. The present worth of that annual expense approaches $100
million. There will be significant cost savings if the new source of domestic water
for northeast Bakersfield is at an elevation of 500 feet above mean sea level, or
higher.
There is significant economic value to reusing existing pipelines in a new water
system.
~eoretical Energy Savings
The theoretical savings for the avoidance of energy expense to pump 52,000 acre-feet
per year from the delta to northeast Bakersfield exceeds $7 million. The present
worth of that power cost is approximately $130 million.
The energy cost savings for a 52,000 acre-foot annual diversion from a relatively
higher elevation is approximately $900,000 for each lO0-foot increase in diversion
elevation. The present worth of that savings is $13.3 million.
Operating Energy Cost Savings
The actual operating cost savings will be smaller than the theoretical savings for
the project sponsors because {1) State Water Project entitlement will have to be
moved into Kern County and {2) there will be some sharing of energy cost savings as
a part of exchanges of SWP water for Kern River water.
Actual energy savings is expected to be on the order of 450 feet of static lift for
approximately 40,000 acre-feet per year. Annual power cost savings are estimated to
be $4.5 million. The present worth of those estimated savings are $67.7 million.
Value of Existing Pipelines for New Uses
The existing pipelines that serve the northeast from the valley floor are
hydraulically equivalent to 6.5 miles of 48-inch pipeline. The value of a new,
equivalent pipeline to serve the northeast from the valley floor is approximately
$9.1 million. Construction cost is estimated to be approximately $5.50 per
diameter-inch per foot of length for class 150 cement mortar lined and coated steel
pipe placed in congested city streets.

CALCULATIONS AND DATA
Following is the information used to calculate the potential energy savings which
might be realized by construction of a domestic water'treatment plant in northeast
Bakersfield. Calculation sheets and assumptions are presented in tabular form at
the end of this memorandum.
Estimated Water Demand
The estimated water demand for northeast Bakersfield was presented in the 1993
report entitled "First Phase Technical Report -- Northeast Bakersfield Water Supply
Improvements" by Ricks, Taylor & Associates and Kennedy/Jenks Consultants. That
table is reproduced, in part,, as follows:

Both Kern County Water Agency and East Niles Community Services District have
expressed an interest in developing additional treatment capacity in the northeast.
Both water suppliers want to shift some of their existing production capacity to the
proposed plant. The amount of increase is' estimated to be an annual average of 25
million gallons per day with deliveries during the peak week to be on the order of
40 million gallons per day.
The following table presents the design demand for the proposed Northeast Water
Treatment Plant for the year 2000 and beyond. The table includes demands for water
which will be exported from Northeast Bakersfield.

The Northeast Water Treatment plant should be sized to deliver 65 million gallons
per day at startup (in the year 2000±} with the ability to expand to 80 million
gallons per day capacity within 10 years. The pipeline delivery system should be
able to deliver 125 cubic feet per second at a maximum velocity of 6 feet per
second.
The economics of power use requires that the average daily flow or the average
annual flow of the proposed plant be calculated. Experience at the ID4 Garnett
Water Treatment Plant is that daily demand during the peak weeks of the year is
approximately 1.6 times the average annual flow. The following table is an estimate
of average annual flow for the proposed Northeast Water Treatment Plant.

For the purposes of these present worth calculations, the proposed plant will
produce approximately 42,000 acre-feet of water annually in the first years of
operation and 52,000 thereafter.
Elevations of Current Diversions
The present and possible future water supplies to the northeast lift water from
either the Delta, the Friant Kern Canal, the ground water basin, or the Kern River.

Kern River water quality can become unacceptable for treatment for short periods of
time due to chemical spills or high turbidity. Examples are {1) a fuel truck
overturning on the Kern Canyon Road or {2) a thunderstorm washing ash into the river
from a recent forest fire. It will be prudent to provide off-stream storage for one
week's plant operation, about 1,000 acre-feet, as an alternative source. Tabulated
below are several potential' off-stream water storage sites.

Note: The Cottonwood Creek off-stream reservoir site that has been previously investigated is not
listed as a potential off-stream reservoir. The site gentry is more appropriate for much larger
storage volume.
Service Area Elevation for the Northeast Water Treatment Plant
Currently in the northeast, water purveyors lift to tanks located at approximately
700, 800, 900, and 1,000 feet in elevation. Given the range of elevations of the
service area, storage reservoir sites, and potential river diversions, the elevation
of a new water treatment plant could reasonably range from a low of 800 feet to a
high of 1000 feet.
Current Cost and Present Worth of Power for Pumping Water
The costs for power to lift water into the northeast Bakersfield area are calculated
using 1993 records and estimates of reasonable costs under foreseeable
circumstances, excluding inflation. Calculation Sheet No. 1, "Present Worth of
Power for Pumping" is located at the end of this memorandum. This calculation sheet
estimates the total power expenditure to maintain today's level {volume) of water
service to the northeast except for the East Niles Community Services District. The
cost for power to lift domestic water to serve northeast Bakersfield is more than $6
million. The present worth of the annual energy expense to move water to northeast
Bakersfield approaches $100,000,000.

NOTES TO ACCOMPANY CALCULATION SHEETS
1. Calculated with a 50% supply year and @ 10.5 mils power value. Variable is
$5.80/AF. Off-aqueduct power charge is $12.00/AF. Total is about $18.00/AF. This
may be as low as $13.00/AF in a 100% supply year. Quantity shown is for water
transported in the East Pipeline in 1993.
2. Synthetic data. CVC power costs can vary substantially due to the importance of
demand charges when the canal is not in use for a period of time. Some WAPA power
is available.
3. In-plant lift, only. Excludes power for treatment processes. Estimated using
1993' data for the East Pump Station. Plant facilities receive a 5% rate discount
for power since they have a dedicated substation.
4. From KCWA power and operations records for 1993 for the East Pump Station and
the Oswell Pump Station. The pump station is served by a dedicated substation,
thereby receiving a 5% power rate discount.
5. Estimated using 1993 data for the Oswell Pump Station with respect to p~wer cost
and efficiencies.
6. Ground water that is extracted from the Kern Fan must be replaced (recharged).
Assumes that all water percolated into the ground water basin is lifted to elevation
400 feet before percolation.
7. Most CWS water is delivered to elevations below 23 Corner Tank.
8. Significant quantities of Olcese Water District water is delivered in zones
below 1,000 foot elevation.
