WORK STUDY SESSION
WS.A. GROUNDWATER REPLENISHMENT SYSTEM PROJECT
Public Works Agency Executive Director Jim Ross introduced
representatives from the Orange County Water District and the Orange
County Sanitation District for a presentation to the Council on the
Groundwater Replenishment System (GWR System). Mr. Ross explained
that following the presentation, staff was recommending that the Council
approve the project in concept subject to the future quantification of the
projected cost distribution impacts to the City's ratepayers.
Bill Mills, General Manager of the Orange County Water District explained
that the GWR System was a joint project sponsored by the Orange County
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 30 JANUARY 16, 2001
Water District and the Orange County Sanitation District and that this was
an innovative project which would provide the highest quality of water
available.
Mr. Mills introduced the presenter, Tom Dawes, Project Manager. Mr.
Dawes explained that currently water in Orange County is provided
primarily by the groundwater basin, which is a natural filter, storage, and
piping system. The basin is recharged by the Santa Ana River, rain water,
imported water and recycled water. The proposed Groundwater
Replenishment System would use highly treated sewage as a new source
of water, which is needed because of the steady growth of population in
Orange County. Mr. Dawes also emphasized that water conservation
would be part of the new project.
The project would result in the construction of an advanced water
treatment plant at the site of the Water District's water factory 21 in
Fountain Valley. A pipeline would be built down the Santa Ana River. Mr.
Dawes further explained that steps would be taken to treat the secondary
sewage including microfiltration, reverse osmosis and ultraviolet
disinfection. The ultraviolet light would be utilized as a safety net and
would destroy any remaining bacteria and viruses in the treated water.
Additionally, the GWR System will have a small mineral content and will
therefore improve the water in the underground basin.
Mr. Dawes noted that the project was estimated to cost $352 Million, and
that the funding sources included grants and state loans and funds from
both the Orange County Water District and the Orange County Sanitation
District. He did not believe that the cost increases would be significant for
the City's ratepayers. He concluded by stating that the GWR System
would provide a new, safe, high quality, reliable, drought -proof water
supply, provide water supply diversity, and create local jobs.
Motion: Approve.
Conceptually support the Groundwater Replenishment System project, a
joint effort of the Orange County Water District and the Orange County
Sanitation District, subject to the future quantification of the projected cost
distribution impacts to City of Santa Ana ratepayers

WS.B. UPDATE ON ROLLING ELECTRICAL BLACKOUTS
Teri Cable, Public Works Administrative Services Manager, presented
Council with an update on the rolling electrical blackouts. She explained
that the following factors contributed to the current situation:
• Statewide peak demand exceeds supply generated in California
• Prosperous business climate, no new power plants built in the State
in ten years, and existing plants are old
• Some generation facilities are currently down for maintenance or
refueling
• Edison was forced to sell many of its generation facilities to
unregulated private companies
• Utilities are on the verge of insolvency and have difficulty buying
power
• There is evidence that power generators have manipulated the
market
• Christmas lights added to the heavy evening demand in December
Ms. Cable reported that the projected rolling blackouts will not impact fire
stations, police facility (including jail), or City Hall because these facilities
provide essential services. However, the outages will impact other city
facilities, traffic signals, sewer lift stations, water system, and street lights.
Ms. Cable noted that the City Yard is the only affected facility with a
generator, and that the Police Department will handle traffic control during
a blackout, and Public Works will provide stop signs for intersections. The
outages are expected to last approximately one hour in each affected area.
The current procedure provides that Edison will inform the City of the
potential for rolling blackouts 10 to 30 minutes ahead of time. The Police
Watch Commander is the City's designated point of contact. During an
emergency the City will be informed of areas that will be affected.
Ms. Cable reported that the City has made many reductions as part of the
Strategic Energy Plan completed in 1998 and will take additional energy
conservation steps including the following:
• Changed out motors and rewinds at the City's well sites (70%
completed) Will complete change out
• Changed out water facilities to use more efficient lighting
• Changed water services to use lower energy rates
• Reset street light clocks to reduce "on" time
I Changed out lighting at McFadden Library
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 32 JANUARY 16, 2001
• Will require employees to shut down their computers and other
electrical devices at night
• Will require employees to use their computer "sleep mode" if this
feature is available
• Will turn off lights in areas where less lighting is needed
• Will shut down air conditioning and use outside air to cool the
building, when possible
Will ask employees to conserve in their homes
Following Ms. Cable's presentation, Council discussion ensued. Police
Chief Paul Walters was questioned relative to measures that the Santa
Ana Police Department will take during periods of blackout to prevent both
traffic accidents and an increase in crime activity. Staff noted that any
blackout will not affect the entire City at the same time and that all cities
will share the inconveniences. Councilmember Solorio asked staff to stay
involved with the utility companies to ensure that individuals on fixed
incomes are adequately informed of any special rate programs that may be
available to them. Councilmember Bist suggested that the City pursue
using educational programming on Cable Television to get the
conservation message out to the public.
