DISCUSSION The California Environmental Protection Agency Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment establishes Public Health Goals (PHGs) for drinking water contaminants. The PHGs are guidelines and are not requirements for any public water system. PHGs are frequently much lower than the maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency ( USEPA). Under provisions of the California Health and Safety Code, the City is required to prepare a special report every three years identifying water quality measurements that have exceeded PHGs (Exhibit 1). For the years of 2013, 2014, and 2015, the report depicts that Santa Ana's drinking water continues to meet all State of California, Department of Health Services, and USEPA drinking water standards set to protect public health. In addition, the City's drinking water content of naturally occurring uranium, arsenic, and hexavalent chromium levels exceeded the recommended PHG levels. The report states that for naturally occurring uranium and arsenic, additional treatment would be very expensive, marginally effective, and would not result in significant reduction of the contaminants; therefore, no action is proposed. State law specifies that a public hearing for the purpose of accepting and responding to public comments on the report be held. This public hearing meets the legal requirement. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #5 - Community Health, Livability, Engagement & Sustainability, Objective #6 (focus projects and programs on improving the health and wellness of all residents). 75C -1 Public Hearing — Report on Water Quality Relative to Public Health Goals July 5, 2016 Page 2 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action.

This report must be made available to the public every three years. The initial report was due on July 1, 1998, and subsequent reports are due every three years thereafter. This report has been prepared to address the requirements set forth in Section 116470 of the California Health and Safety Code. It is based on water quality analyses during calendar years 2013, 2014, and 2015 or, if certain analyses were not performed during those years, the most recent data available. The report has been designed to be as informative as possible, without unnecessary duplication of information contained in the Consumer Confidence Reports, which are mailed to customers by July 1" of each year. There are no regulations explaining requirements for the preparation of PHG reports. A workgroup of the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) Water Quality Committee has prepared suggested guidelines for water utilities to use in preparing PHG reports. The ACWA guidelines were used in the preparation of this report. These guidelines include tables of cost estimates for BAT. The State of California (State) provides ACWA with numerical health risks and category of health risk information for contaminants with PHGs. This health risk information is appended to the ACWA guidelines. 2.0 California Drinking Water Regulatory Process California Health and Safety Code Section 116365 requires the State to develop a PHG for every contaminant with a primary drinking water standard or for any contaminant the State is proposing to regulate with a primary drinking water standard. A PHG is the level of a contaminant in drinking water that poses no significant health risk if consumed for a lifetime. The process of establishing a PHG is a risk assessment based strictly on human health considerations. PHGs are recommended targets and are not required to be met by any public water system. The State office designated to develop PHGs is the California Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). The PHG is then forwarded to the State Water Resources Control Board, Division of Drinking Water Ana Exhibit 1 75C -4 2016 PHG Report (DDW) for use in revising or developing a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) in drinking water. The MCL is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. California MCLs cannot be less stringent than federal MCLs and must be as close as is technically and economically feasible to the PHGs. DDW is required to take treatment technologies and cost of compliance into account when setting an MCL. Each MCL is reviewed at least once every five years. Total chromium and two radiological contaminants (gross alpha particle and gross beta particle) have MCLs but do not yet have designated PHGs. For these contaminants, the Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG), the federal U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) equivalent of PHGs, is used in the PHG Report. N- nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) has a PHG of 3 nanograms per liter and 1,2,3 - trichloropropane (1,2,3 -TCP) has a PHG of 0.7 nanogram per liter but both are not regulated in drinking water with a primary drinking water standard. Bromodichloromethane, bromoform, and dichloroacetic acid are three disinfection byproducts that have federal MCLGs of 0 but are not individually regulated with primary drinking water standards. According to the ACWA guidance and instructions from DDW, these five chemicals do not have to be included in the PHG Report because they do not have an existing MCL. 3.0 Identification of Contaminants Section 116470(b)(1) of the Health and Safety Code requires public water systems serving more than 10,000 service connections to identify each contaminant detected in drinking water that exceeded the applicable PHG. Section 116470(f) requires the MCLG to be used for comparison if there is no applicable PHG. The City of Santa Ana (City) water system has approximately 44,739 service connections. The following constituents were detected at one or more locations within the drinking water system at levels that exceeded the applicable PHGs or MCLGs: • Arsenic — naturally- occurring in local groundwater and in surface water purchased from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWDSC) • Coliform Bacteria, Total — naturally- occurring in the environment but can also be an indicator of the presence of other pathogenic organisms originating from sewage, livestock or other wildlife. • Chromium, Hexavalent — naturally- occurring in local groundwater; industrial contamination in groundwater • Perchlorate — industrial contamination in groundwater • Gross alpha particle activity (gross alpha) — naturally- occurring in surface water purchased from MWDSC • Gross beta particle activity (gross beta) — naturally- occurring in surface water purchased from MWDSC • Uranium — naturally- occurring in local groundwater and in surface water purchased from MWDSC. City of Santa Ana Exhibit 1 75C -5 2016 PHG The accompanying chart shows the applicable PHG or MCLG and MCL for each contaminant identified above. The chart includes the maximum, minimum, and average concentrations of each contaminant in drinking water supplied by the City in calendar years 2013 through 2015. 4.0 Numerical Public Health Risks Section 116470(b)(2) of the Health and Safety Code requires disclosure of the numerical public health risk, determined by OEHHA, associated with the MCLs, Action Levels, PHGs and MCLGs. Available numerical health risks developed by OEHHA for the contaminants identified above are shown on the accompany chart. Only numerical risks associated with cancer- causing chemicals have been quantified by OEHHA. Arsenic — OEHHA has determined that the theoretical health risk associated with the PHG is 1 excess case of cancer in a million people and the risk associated with the MCL is 2.5 excess cases of cancer in 1,000 people exposed over a 70 -year lifetime. Chromium, Hexavalent — OEHHA has determined that the theoretical health risk associated with the PHG is 1 excess case of cancer in a million people and the risk associated with the MCL is 5 excess cases of cancer in 10,000 people exposed over a 70 -year lifetime. Coliform Bacteria, Total — USEPA has determined that the health risk associated with the MCLG is 0. Gross Alpha — USEPA has determined that the theoretical health risk associated with the MCLG is 0 and the risk associated with the MCL is 1 excess case of cancer in 1,000 people over a lifetime exposure. Gross Beta — USEPA has determined that the health risk associated with the MCLG is 0 and the risk associated with the MCL is 2 excess cases of cancer in 1,000 people over a lifetime exposure. Perchlorate — OEHHA has not established a numerical health risk for perchlorate because PHGs for non - carcinogenic chemicals in drinking water are set at a concentration at which no known or anticipated adverse health risks will occur, with an adequate margin of safety. Uranium — OEHHA has determined that the theoretical health risk associated with the PHG is 1 excess case of cancer in a million people and the risk associated with the MCL is 5 excess cases of cancer in 100,000 people exposed over a 70 -year lifetime. City of Santa Ana Exhibit 1 75C -6 2016 PHG Report 5.0 Identification of Risk Categories Section 116470(b)(3) of the Health and Safety Code requires identification of the category of risk to public health associated with exposure to the contaminant in drinking water, including a brief, plainly worded description of those terms. The risk categories and definitions for the contaminants identified above are shown on the accompanying chart. 6.0 Description of Best Available Technology Section 116470(b)(4) of the Health and Safety Code requires a description of the BAT, if any is available on a commercial basis, to remove or reduce the concentrations of the contaminants identified above. The SATs are shown on the accompanying chart. 7.0 Costs of Using Best Available Technologies and Intended Actions Section 116470(b)(5) of the Health and Safety Code requires an estimate of the aggregate cost and cost per customer of utilizing the BATS identified to reduce the concentration of a contaminant to a level at or below the PHG or MCLG. In addition, Section 116470(b)(6) requires a brief description of any actions the water purveyor intends to take to reduce the concentration of the contaminant and the basis for that decision. Arsenic — The BATS for removal of arsenic in water for large water systems are: activated alumina, coagulation /filtration, electrodialysis, ion exchange, lime softening, oxidation /filtration, and reverse osmosis. Arsenic was detected above the PHG in the local groundwater (Wells 37 and 38) and in surface water supplied by MWDSC. The City is in compliance with the MCL for arsenic. The estimated cost to reduce arsenic levels in local groundwater and in MWDSC surface water to below the PHG of 0.004 microgram per liter (Ng /1) using ion exchange was calculated. Because the DDW detection limit for purposes of reporting (DLR) for arsenic is 2 pg /l, treating arsenic to below the PHG level means treating arsenic to below the DLR of 2 pg /I. There are numerous factors that may influence the actual cost of reducing arsenic levels to the PHG. Achieving the water quality goal for arsenic could be approximately $7,440,000 per year, or $166 per household per year. Chromium, Hexavalent — The BATs for removal of hexavalent chromium in water are: reduction to chromium III (trivalent chromium) prior to coagulation /filtration, ion exchange, and reverse osmosis. Hexavalent chromium was detected above the PHG in the local groundwater (Wells 20, 21, 24, 29, 30, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 39, and 41). The City is in compliance with the MCL. for hexavalent chromium. The estimated cost to reduce hexavalent chromium levels in local groundwater to below the PHG of 0.02 lag /I using ion exchange was calculated. Because the DLR for hexavalent chromium is 1 lag /l, treating hexavalent chromium to below the PHG level means treating hexavalent chromium to below the DLR of 1 pg /l. There are numerous factors that may influence the actual cost of reducing hexavalent chromium levels to the PHG. Achieving the City of Santa Ana 4 2016 PHG Report Exhibit 1 75C -7 water quality goal for hexavalent chromium could range from $11,000,000 to $46,200,000 per year, or between $247 and $1,030 per household per year. Coliform Bacteria, Total — The BAT for removal of coliform bacteria in drinking water has been determined by USEPA to be disinfection. The City already disinfects all water served to the public. Chlorine or chloramines is used to disinfect the water because it is an effective disinfectant and residual concentrations can be maintained to guard against biological contamination in the water distribution system. Coliform bacteria are indicator organisms that are ubiquitous in nature. They are a useful tool because of the ease in monitoring and analysis. The City collects weekly samples for total coliforms at various locations in the distribution system and monthly at each well. If coliform bacteria are detected in the drinking water sample, it indicates a potential problem that needs to be investigated and followed up with additional sampling. It is not unusual for a system to have an occasional positive sample. Although USEPA set the MCLG for total coliforms at 0 percent positive, there is no commercially available technology that will guarantee 0 percent positive every single month; therefore, the cost of achieving the PHG cannot be estimated. The City will continue several programs that are in place to prevent contamination of the water supply with microorganisms. These include: • Disinfection using chlorine or chloramines and maintenance of a chlorine residual at every point in the distribution system • Monitoring throughout the distribution system to verify the absence of total coliforms and the presence of a protective chlorine residual • Flushing program in which water pipelines known to have little use are flushed to remove stagnant water and bring in fresh water with residual disinfectant • Cross - connection control program that prevents the accidental entry of non - disinfected water into the drinking water system. Gross Alpha, Gross Beta, and Uranium — The only BAT for the removal of gross alpha in water for large water systems is reverse osmosis, which can also remove gross beta, and uranium, if detected. Gross alpha and gross beta were detected above the MCLG in the surface water supplied by MWDSC. Uranium was detected above the PHG in the local groundwater (Wells 16, 18, 20, 21, 24, 27, 28, 29, 30, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, and 41) and in the surface water supplied by MWDSC. The cost of providing treatment using reverse osmosis to reduce gross alpha levels in local groundwater and in MWDSC surface water to the MCLG of 0 picoCurie per liter (pCi /I) (and consequently gross beta in MWDSC surface water below the MCLG; and uranium in local groundwater and in MWDSC surface water below the PHG) was calculated. Because the DLR for gross alpha is 3 pCi /l, treating gross alpha to 0 pCi /I means treating it to below the DLR of 3 pCi /I. Achieving the water quality goal for gross alpha could range from $8,630,000 to $73,600,000 per year, or between $193 and $1,640 per household per year. of Santa Ana Exhibit 1 75C -8 2016 PHG Report Perchlorate - The BATs for removal of perchlorate in water are: ion exchange and biological fluidized bed reactor. Perchlorate was detected above the PHG in the local groundwater (Well 24). The City is in compliance with the MCL for perchlorate. The estimated cost to reduce perchlorate levels in local groundwater to below the PHG of 1 tag /I using ion exchange was calculated. Because the DLR for perchlorate is 4 pg /l, treating perchlorate to below the PHG level means treating perchlorate to below the DLR of 4 lag /l. There are numerous factors that may influence the actual cost of reducing perchlorate levels to the PHG. Achieving the water quality goal for perchlorate could range from $131,000 to $282,000 per year, or between $2.92 and $6.31 per household per year. All Contaminants .- In addition, a cost estimate to treat all water produced or purchased by the City using ion exchange and reverse osmosis to remove all the contaminants detected above the PHGs or MCLGs was calculated. All the contaminants listed in the attached table may be removed to non - detectable levels by ion exchange and reverse osmosis, except total coliform bacteria. As shown on the attached table, achieving the water quality goals for all contaminants, except total coliform bacteria, using ion exchange and reverse osmosis could range from $8,760,000 to $73,900,000 per year, or between $196 and $1,650 per household per year.

Governor Brown declai ed a a- state of emergency because of California's record dry condi- dons, catling on all of us to cut back our water use by at least 20 percent." hedrought —which officials say could beoneoftheworstr,` in the state's history— is a critical issue Californians face, andwezll must do our part to become more efficient in our water use. - The City of Santa Ana adopted a strategic plan eariler this year, which —among other important initiatives — focuses on completing the City s Climate Action Plan with measures to address water conservation, energy efficient buildings (city and community) and greenhouse gas emissions. Creating awareness for and educat- ing the community about water conservation is an important component of the plan. You wil I find in this report simple water- saving tips that wills Iso help you save money. With just a few small changes, we can alf do our part to conserve, build a sustainable future together, and protect our most precious resource. You will also learn about the California State Water Project, a backbone of California's water system, and what's at stake if upgrades to its water delivery infrastructure are not made. These upgrades, along with measures to prutect the Delta ecosystem, are part of the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP), which is being reviewed for adoption. Supporting the BDCP Is essential to preserving a reliable water supply and ourfuture sustainability. What's more, did you know your tap water ranked the best tasting and highest quality in the nation? The City was thrilled to earn this prestigious distinction, receiving the top award among all other municipal water districts in the nation, l believe it is testimony to the stringent standards we set for our tap water, which exceed the drinking water health standards required by both the State of California Department of Public Health and the United States Environmental Protection Agency. These requirements and how our water tested throughout the year are detailed in the charts of this report. I hope you enjoy reading this year's report and will use it as a valuable resource. please share this informa- tion with anyone who drinks Santa Ana water, especially those who may not have received this report. Starting today, particularly as we approach the sumrner months, my wish is that the word "conservation' crimes first to your mind every time you turn on the faucet! Sincerely, William Galvez interim Executive Director Public Works Agency City of Santa Ana 1M WATER ROAIITY REPORT EXHIBIT 4 75C -20 r The focal point of the waaterquality report is a table that lists the results of year -round monitoring for more than 1247 constituents. Only the constituents that are found are listed in the water quality data tables. Bottled water is not covered In this report. Santa Ana metal I primary drinking water standards in 2013. By reading the table from left to right, you will learn the quantity of a constituent found in Santa Ana's water supply and how that compares with the al lowabie state and federal limits. You'll also learn the range and average of the constituent measured as well as its origin. The questions and answers starting on this page, numbers 9. through 7, will explain the important elements of the table. WATER SOURCE & COMPONENTS *0s L What are the sourcces of the water santa Ana rdetivers? The City of Santa Ana depends on two sources for the 125 billion gallons of water we supply each year -68 Percentage is groundwater and 32 percentage is imported water, purchased from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD), Thegrourrdwater accumulates and is stored beneath the surface of theearth and then pumped to the surface by 20 Cityownad wells. M WD brings Colorado River water from Lake Havasu and runoff from the snow pack in the Sierra Nevada Range in Northern California. The water Is then treated at either the Diemer Filtration Plant in Yorba Linda or the Weymouth Filtration plant in LaVerne before it is delivered to Santa Ana. There are seven M WD connections located in the city. Most of our customers receive a blending of the two sources, groundwater and imported water. For more details, seethe Water Quality Standards for each of these sources in the data that follow. We have listed groundwater and imported water in separate columns. 2. Wheat's in r„ y drinkidg wofoO Your tap water may contdn different types of chemicals (organic and Inorganic), microscopic organisms (e.g., bacteria, algae, viruses) and radioactive materials (radionuclides), manyof which are naturally occurring. Health agencies require monitoring for these constituents, because at certain levels they could make a person sick. The column marked "parameter" lists the constituents found in the water used by Santa Ana. 3. What are the rnaxianurn allowed fuveN far constituents in drinking water} Health agencies have maximum contaminant levels for constituents so that drinking water is safe and looks, Castes and smells goad. A few constituents have the letters "TT" in the MCL column because they do not have a numerical MCL Instead, they have certain treatment requirements that have to be met. One of the constituents, total chlorine residual, has an MRDL (maximum residual disinfection level) instead of an MCL. The MRDL Is the maximum level of a disinfectant added for water treatment that is allowed in water. While disinfectants are necessary to till harmful microbes, drinking water regulations protect against too much disinfectant being added. Another constltuant, turbidity, has a requirement that 95 percent of the measurements taken must be below a certain number. Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness of Che water. We monitor It because it is a good indicator of the efficiency of the filtration system. IM WATER OUAI.ITY REPORT 1 *1 [17YA1 75C -21 ..,eaeJ 4.

The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. You can learn more about contaminants and potential health effects by calling the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (USE PA) Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 500426.4791 or visiting the wcbsite at epa.gov /safewatcr /. To ensure that tap water is safe to drink,. the USE PAprescribes regulations, which limit t'he amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants In bottled water. Both sets of requirements protect public health. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV /AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can he particularly at risk from Infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. USEPA /CDC (US. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline 500. 426 - 4791. Cryptosporldium is a microbial pathogen found in surface water throughout the U.S. To date, cryptosporidlum has not been detected in our water supply. Beginning in October 2007, water that is received by the City of Santa Ana from M W D will have fluoride added to it. Our well water has a naturally occurring fluoride range level of 0.15 to 0.56 plan. Water provided by MWD will have a fluoride level of 0.7 to 0.8 ppm. This plan was approved by the CDC and the California Department of Public Health. Additional information maybe found by calling Ml Water Quality Information Hotline at 800 - 354 -4420.

It Is Important to note that this was not a violation caused by having contaminants exceed allowable levels; rather, it was a violation caused by failing to take the required number of samples within a specific time frame. Even though this failure was not an emergency, as our customers, you have the right to know what you should do, what happened, and what we did to correct this situation. This notice Is Intended to provide you with this Information. Please be sure to share this information with anyone who drinks Santa Ana water, We are required to monitor your drinking water far specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of regular monitoring are an Indicator of whether or not our drinking water meets health standards. During a period in March 2013, we did not take the required number of Stage 2 Disinfectant Byproducts Rule samples required under Title 22 California Code of Regulations, Section 64424(c), and therefore, cannot be sure of the quality of our drinking water during that time. Upon receipt of notification from a person operating a public water system, the following notifica- tion must be given within 10 days [Health and Safety Code Section 116450(g)]: Schools: Must notify school employees, students, and parents (if the students are minors).

The medal adds to Santa Ana's previous awards, surpassing its bronze and silver medals from 2011 and 2012. Earning this recognition year after year validates the stringent standards Santa Ana sets for its tap water, which are above and beyond the drinking water health standards required by both state and federal agencies. Details about these standards are outlined In the charts of this Water Quality Consumer Confidence Report, produced by Santa Ana's Water Resources Division.

The decision was announced shortly after Governor Brown's call for a voluntary 20 percent reduction in water use. At this time, regions will have to rely on water stored In local reservoirs, pumped from underground wells, recycled water, and conservation measures to meet demand. What does this mean to Santa Ana residents? While there are sufficient water reserves available residents will need to curb their water usage. Iri this report, you can read about simple ways to cut back your water use by 20 percent and take advan fags of rebates being offered. What is the California State Water Project? About 30 percent of Orange County's water supply travels a long distance though a complex delivery system called the California State Water Project. It is the nation's lergest slate -built water storage and delivery system of reservoirs, aqueducts, power plants and pumping plants, supplying water to 25 call iion Californians and 750,000 acres of farmland. The orig[not purpose of the project was to provide water for and Southern California, whose local water resources and share of the Colorado (liver were iissufficlent to sustain the region's growth. 'today, it distributes water to 24 urban and agricultural water suppliers in Northern California, the San Francisco Bay Area, the Sam Joaquin Valley, the Central Coast, and Southern California. 0 WAIEN OUALIIY REPOF • Milo Why is it Important? Water has always been a scarce resource In California. The State Water Project is operated to deliver a more reliable waters tip ply for farms anti communities. It protects our future water resources while protecting fish and wildlife, improving water quallty in the Delta, and controlling Feather River floodwaters. As we look forward, the State Water Project's role in providing a more resilient water resources system will help California endure inevitable challenges In coming decades. It is essential to our future sustainability. 34 storage facilities r 20 pumping plants Reservoirs and lakes 4 pumping - generating plants 5hydroelectric About701 miles of open power plants canals and pipelines EXHIBIT 4 75C -33 �: °.P y#mt'•>� -S fir, .s ■ Asa Santa Ana resident, you may not realize that about one third of your drinking water comes from the Delta, an expansive Inland river delta and estuary in Northern California where the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers converge. Measuring a total area o €'1.100 square miles, the Delta is an invaluable natural resource that supports a corn plex ecosystem and supplies water to millions of Californians. It is here where the states two most important water delivery systems, the federal Central Valley Project (CVP) and the California State Water Project (S W P), transport water to 25 million people throughout the Bay Area, Central Valley, and Southern California. Water from the Delta also supports the state's agriculture industry that feeds millions. What's At Stake Years of using the Delta as far mland has damaged the delicate ecosystem. Also, in ICs current: state, the Delta's water delivery system Is highly unreliable and extremofy vulnerable to a natural disaster, such as a large earthquake. Experts predict that the Delta's 20 levees, which hold back salt water from the San Francisco Bay, could simultaneously fall during a magnitude 6.5 quake. The future of a reliable water supply For Californians depends upon a healthy Delta ecosystem and upgrades to its water delivery Infrastructure. Without these upgrades, Southern California residents could be without an adequate drinking water supply far weeks or even months in the even t of a large earthquake. There's a lot at stake, which Is why it is Important for infrastructure and operating system. Included in the plan is the construction of two earthquake -safe tunnels that would channel much of the state s drinking water supply around the Delta region rather than through Its natural estuary. These Improvements are critical to a long -term reliable water supply far all of Southern California, as well as regions throughout Northern and Central Cnlhornia. Doing Your Part We all play an Important part in the future of our water supply. Helping to conserve water Is one.

A leaky toilet can waste 200 gallons per day. That would be like flushing your toilet inure than 50 times for no reason! Outdoor leaks are also a big culprit in driving up your water bill. ,i Your water meter can help you determine whether your water -using fixtures or inside plumbing have inconspicuous leaks. It's the best place to begin your search. Turnoff all faucets and water - consuming appliances, including ovaporative coolers and icemakem in refrigerators. Check the meter register forany movement of the numbers or the "low-flow indicator" and note the time. Check the meter register again after 15 -30 minutes. Any movement indicates a leak. Turn off your house valve (all indoor and outdoor water). Check the meter register for any movement as described above, Any movement indicates a teak between the water meter and your home. If you suspect you have a leak, be sure to contact a plumber. And if you don't, remember to check for leaks periodically. It's helpful to know how to reed your water meter, not only to verify the monthly reading on your water bill, but also to detect water leaks. Water meters are usually located between the sidewalk and curb under a cement cover. Remove the cover by inserting screwdriver hi the hole of the lid and then carefully lift the coven The meter reads straight across, like the odometer on your car. Read only the white numbers.

We treat it as a service to the community, not just an unlimited commodity," Water is sornething we should riot take for granted. No longer is water plentiful, nor are we. guaranteed an endless supply. With the state of California under mandatory water use restrictions, Santa Ana is working diligently to do its part to conserve, For example, the City supplies reclaimed water for commercial and industrial irrigation and sponsors education and incentive prograrns for businesses and residents. Our vision Is for a resilient and sustainable water Infrastructure that will deliver necessary services today and in future decades. To that end, we are making rate adjustments and embarking on a robust capital improvement program that calls for pipe replacements and increased use of technology to monitor and regulate water use while providing actionable data to consumers. We will also be making improvements to wells, pump stations, reservoirs and wastewater facilities. While these efforts are significant, Public Works can't do It alone. We ask you to use water wisely but please don't stop there. Let us know what we can do better, because our goal is to have the most efficient Public Works that provide critical services to Santa Ana residents at a reasonable cost. e SANTA ANA WATER OUALITY REPORT EXHIBIT 5 75C -44 Fred Mousavipour Executive Director Public Works Agency City of Santa Ana The Consumer Confidence Report(CCR) is an annual water quality report that helps you make informed choices about the water you drink. CCRS are designed to let you know what contaminants, if any, are in your drinking water and any possible health effects. You will also learn about where your water comes from, how it is treated and what it contains. The focal point of the CCR is a table that lists the results of year -round monitoring for more than 120 constituents. Included in the table is the quantity of each constituent found in Santa Ana's water supply and how that compares with the allowable state and federal limits as well as Its likely origin. Only the constituents that are found are listed in the data table. Bottled water is not covered in this report. The questions and answers starting on this page, numbers 1 through 7, will explain the important elements of the table. 1. What are the sources of the water Santa Ana delivers? The City of Santa Ana depends on two sources for the 12.5 billion gallons of water we supply each year: 72 percent is groundwater and 28 percent is imported water purchased from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD). The groundwater accumulates and is stored beneath the surface of the earth and then pumped to the surface by 20 city -owned wells. MWD brings Colorado River water from Lake Havasu and runoff from the snow pack in the Sierra Nevada Range in Northern California. The water is then treated at either the Diemer Filtration Plant In Yorba Linda or the Weymouth Filtration Plant in LaVerne before it is delivered to Santa Ana. There are seven MWD connections located in the City. Most of our customers receive a blending of the two sources, groundwater and imported water. For more details, see the Water Quality Standards for each of these sources in the data that follow. We have listed groundwater and imported water in separate columns. 2. What's in my drinking water? Your tap water may contain different types of chemicals (organic and inorganic), microscopic organisms (e.g., bacteria, algae, viruses) and radioactive materials (radionuclides), many of which are naturally occurring. Health agencies require monitoring for these constituents, because at certain levels they could make a person sick. The column marked "Parameter" lists the constituents found in the water used by Santa Ana. Contlnvea on next page. on SANTA ANA WATER QUALITY REPORT _ EXHIBIT 5 75C -45 3. What are the maximum allowed levels for constituents in drinking water? Health agencies have maximum contaminant levels (MCL) for constituents so that drinking water is safe and looks, tastes and smells good. A few constituents have the letters "TT" (Treatment Technique) in the MCL column because they do not have a numerical MCL. Instead, they have certain treatment requirements that have to be met. One of the constituents, total chlorine residual, has an MRDL (maximum residual disinfection level) instead of an MCL. The MRDL is the maximum level of disinfectant added for water treatment that is allowed in water. While disinfectants are necessary to kill harmful microbes, drinking water regulations protect against too much disinfectant being added. Another constituent, turbidity, has a requirement that 95 percent of the measurements taken must be below a certain number. Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness of the water. We monitor it because it is a good indicator of the efficiency of the filtration system. 4. Why are some of the constituents listed in the section labeled "Primary Standards" and others in the "Secondary Standards "? Constituents that are grouped in the primary standards section may be unhealthy at certain levels. Constituents that are grouped under the secondary standards section can affect the appearance, taste and smell of water, but do not affect the safety of the water unless they also have a primary standard. Some constituents (e.g., aluminum) have two different MCLs, one for health - related impacts, and another for non - health - related impacts. 5. How do 1 know how much of a constituent is in We use water testing equipment so sensitive it can detect levels as low as 1 part per trillion 7 i z � t � o d > k f pa IIi F t Q q4l rr, That's equivelent to I drop of soap In enough dishwaterto fill4 {,—.' SantadAna V , my water and If it is at a safe level? ; water Tanks With a few exceptions, if the average amount of a constituent found in tap water over the course of a year is no greater than the MCL, then the regulatory requirements are considered to be satisfied. The highest and lowest levels measured over a year are shown in the range. Requirements for safety, appearance, taste and smell are based on the average levels recorded and not the range. 6. How do constituents get into our water? Drinking water (tap water and bottled water) comes from rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or human activity. The most likely source for each constituent is listed in the last column of the table. 7. Are there any potential sources of contamination in our system? An assessment of the drinking water wells for the City of Santa Ana was completed in December 2014, Santa Ana's wells are considered most vulnerable to the following activities associated with contaminants detected in the water supply: historic agricultural activities, golf courses, and application of fertilizers. Our wells are considered most vulnerable to the following activities not associated with detected contaminates: chemical/ petroleum pipelines, chemical /petroleum processing /stores, dry cleaners, gas stations, junk /scrap /salvage yards, metal plating /finishing /fabrication, plastics /synthetics producers, and sewer collection systems. I SANTA ANA WATER QUALITY REPORT EXHIBIT 5 75C -46 ,III I I IN Air 11111iliq 14 Ii 11111, ., Drinkingwater, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does riot necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. You can learn more about contaminants and potential health effects by calling the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys (USEPA) Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800- 426 -4791 or visiting the welesite at epa.gov /safewater /. To ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the USE PA prescribes regulations, which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water. Both sets of requirements protect public health. Some people maybe more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV /AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. Fluoride. The City of Santa Aria receives approximately 28% of its water supply from MWD. Beginning in October 2007, MWD joined a majority of the nation's public water suppliers in adding fluoride to the treated water it supplies to state water agencies, a plan approved by the CDC and the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB)', Santa Ana's well water has a naturally occurring fluoride range level of 0.18 to 0.56 ppm. Water provided by MWD has been adjusted to the optimal range for dental health of 0.7 to 0.8 parts per million. Additional information may be found by calling MWD's Water Quality Information Hotline at 800- 354.4420. You can also download a fact sheet at mwdh2o.com /fluoridation/ fluoridationfactsheet.pd f or visit ada.org /fluoride.aspx. Cryptosporldium. Cryptosporidium is a microbial pathogen found in surface water throughout the U5. To date, cryptosporidium has not been detected in our water supply. USEPA/CDC (U.S, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800 - 426.4791. Hexavalent Chromium. In July 2014, California became the first state in the nation to regulate hexavalent chromium, also known as Chrome -6. Previously, chrome -6 had been regulated as total chromium, which includes other forms of the mineral. Chrome-6 can be present in water due to natural geologic conditions or from industrial pollution. In Orange County, groundwater often contains trace amounts of naturally occurring Chrome -6 that are far below the new MCL.

(Special Educational Statement Regarding Nitrate: Nitrate levels may rise quickly for short periods of time because of rainfall or agricultural activity. Nitrate in drinking water at levels above 45 mg /L is a health risk for infants of less than six months of age. Such nitrate levels in drinking water can Interfere with the capacity of the infants blood to carry oxygen, resulting in a serious illness; symptoms Include shortness of breath and blueness of the skin. Nitrate levels above 45 mg/L may also affect the ability of the blood to carry oxygen in other individuals, such as pregnant women and those with certain specific enzyme deficiencies, if you are caring for an infant, you should ask advice from your health care provider. 6Special Educational Statement Regarding Perchlorate: Perchlorate has been shown to interfere with uptake of iodide by the thyroid gland, and to thereby reduce the production of thyroid hormones, leading to adverse affects associated with inadequate hormone levels. Thyroid hormones are needed for normal prenatal growth and development of the fetus, as well as for normal growth and development In the Infant and chlld. In adults, thyroid hormones are needed for normal metabolism and mental function. 'Eight locations in the distribution system are tested quarterly for total unhalomethanes and haloacetic acids. "Radon: Radon is a radioactive gas that you can't see, taste, or smell. It is found throughout the U,S. Radon can move through the ground and into a home through cracks and holes in the foundation. Radon can build up in high levels in all types of homes. Radon can also get into Indoor air when released from Cap water from showering, washing dishes, and other household activities. Compared to radon entering the home through sail, radon entering the home through tap water will in most cases be a small source of radon in indoor air. Radon is a known human carcinogen. Breathing air containing radon can lead to lung cancer. Drinking water containing radon may also cause Increased risk of stomach cancer. Ifyou are concerned about radon in your home, test the air in your home. Testing is Inexpensive and easy. Fix your home if the level of radon in your air is 4 picocuries per liter of air (pCi/L) or higher. There are simple ways to fix a radon problem that aren't too costly.

(Special Educational Statement Regarding Nitrate: Nitrate levels may rise quickly for short periods of time because of rainfall or agricultural activity. Nitrate in drinking water at levels above 45 mg /L is a health risk for infants of less than six months of age. Such nitrate levels in drinking water can Interfere with the capacity of the infants blood to carry oxygen, resulting in a serious illness; symptoms Include shortness of breath and blueness of the skin. Nitrate levels above 45 mg/L may also affect the ability of the blood to carry oxygen in other individuals, such as pregnant women and those with certain specific enzyme deficiencies, if you are caring for an infant, you should ask advice from your health care provider. 6Special Educational Statement Regarding Perchlorate: Perchlorate has been shown to interfere with uptake of iodide by the thyroid gland, and to thereby reduce the production of thyroid hormones, leading to adverse affects associated with inadequate hormone levels. Thyroid hormones are needed for normal prenatal growth and development of the fetus, as well as for normal growth and development In the Infant and chlld. In adults, thyroid hormones are needed for normal metabolism and mental function. 'Eight locations in the distribution system are tested quarterly for total unhalomethanes and haloacetic acids. "Radon: Radon is a radioactive gas that you can't see, taste, or smell. It is found throughout the U,S. Radon can move through the ground and into a home through cracks and holes in the foundation. Radon can build up in high levels in all types of homes. Radon can also get into Indoor air when released from Cap water from showering, washing dishes, and other household activities. Compared to radon entering the home through sail, radon entering the home through tap water will in most cases be a small source of radon in indoor air. Radon is a known human carcinogen. Breathing air containing radon can lead to lung cancer. Drinking water containing radon may also cause Increased risk of stomach cancer. Ifyou are concerned about radon in your home, test the air in your home. Testing is Inexpensive and easy. Fix your home if the level of radon in your air is 4 picocuries per liter of air (pCi/L) or higher. There are simple ways to fix a radon problem that aren't too costly.

This year looks even more dire. The close of our official rainy season, which provides California with 90 percent of its water, was marked with record high temperatures and record low rainfall, Reservoirs are low. Landscapes are parched. And the Sierra Nevada snowpack, which usually supplies 30 percent of the state's water as it melts through early summer, is at its second - lowest level on record. It's no surprise, then, that Governor Brown issued an Executive Order on April 1, 2015 that called for the first -ever statewide mandatory water reduction to slash water use by 25 percent (compared to 2013 levels) and Increase enforcement to prevent wasteful water use. As a result, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) adopted an expanded emergency regulation and has imposed a new round of water conservation rules, including sharp restrictions on landscape watering as well as orders to restaurants not to serve water to customers unless asked. What does this mean to Santa Ana residents? Santa Aria has already reduced its water consumption by 13% since 2013, which means we still need to achieve an additional 12% In water savings this year. On the next page are the new restrictions and requirements for Santa Ana residents and businesses to comply with state regulations and local ordinances. Continued on nextpooe. EASIEST WAYS TO REDUCE WATER Washing only full loads of dishes and laundry saves 50 gallons of water a week. If every family in the Southland did this, we'd save over 200 million gallons of water every week wanking together. That's over 10 billion gallons of water a year! Outdoors, check your sprinklers for leaks, water in the morning or in the evening when it's cooler. Or better yet, change your thirsty lawn into a yard with California Friendly plants that use a lot less water. I n SANTA ANA WATER QUALITY REPORT EXHIBIT 5 75C -56 0092190r= So, how can you do your part to reach our 12%goa l? Instrumental to conservation is awareness, participation and collaboration: Awareness How many of us leave the water running as we brush our teeth and watch N? Or run the shower forfive.- minutes or more to allow it to warm up? Be mindful of the wateryou use and ask whether or not you need to actually be using it. Your small routines could be wasting upwards of six liters of water, which is more drinking water than many impoverished families are allocated per week. Participation Close the tap when you're not using it. Install a water- Friendly showerhead which will save gallons of water while You warm up your shower. Use a plastic tub in your sink to wash produce and re -use the greywater to rinse dishes and to water your plants. Be sure to follow our water - saving tips. A few small changes in wasteful habits can make a big difference in your water consumption. Collaboration If everyone does their part to conserve, California can avoid more severe measure like rationing. Get involved with us, discover new and creative ways to save water and spread awareness to your family, neighbors and friends. We can't make it rain, but we can make a difference.

Its the best place to begin your search. Here's what you can do: of notification by the City. • Turn off all faucets and water- consuming appliances, including evaporative coolers and icemakers in refrigerators. • Check the meter register for any movement of the numbers or the low -flow indicator and note the time. • Check the meter register again after 15 -30 minutes. Any movement indicates a leak. Detecting Outdoor Leaks: Turn off your house valve (all indoor and outdoor water). Check the meter register for any movement as described above. Any movement indicates a leak between the water meter and your home. Ifyou suspect you have a leak, be sure to contact a plumber, And if you don't, remember to check for leaks periodically. `t READING YOUR WATER METER Water meters are usually located between the sidewalk and Curb under a cement cover. Remove the cover by inserting a screwdriver in the hole of the lid and then carefully lift the cover. The meter reads straight across, like the odometer on your car. Read only the white numbers. You can refer to the adjacent diagram for details about reading the water meter register. 0 Low -Flow Indicator The low -flow indicator will spin if any water is flowing through the meter. Sweep Hand — Each full revolution of the sweep hand indicates that one cubic foot of water (7.48 gallons) has passed through the meter. The markings at the. outer edge of the dial indicate tenths and hundredths of one cubic foot. Meter Register — The meter register Is a lot like the mileage odometer on your car, The numbers keep a running total of all the water that has passed through the meter. The register shown here indicates that 345,711 cubic feet of water has passed through this meter. SANTA ANA WATER QUALITY REPORT ls EXHIBIT 5 75C -58 Converting your water-guzzli rig lawn to a drought tolerant garden makes perfect sense. It will not only help you reduce your water use significantly, but it will save you money and time. A Southland city commissioned a stucly for a period of nine years to determine how much water homeowners can save by removing their lawns. A landscape designer was asked to design two adjacent residential -size front yards, each about 1,900 square feet. One had a traditional lawn and thirsty plants watered by sprinklers. The other featured low -water California natives, which were watered as needed by drip irrigation. The yards were then monitored over a period of nine years. The results were amazing. If thats not enough to sway you toward losing your lawn consider this: l "he native garden took 167 fewer hours to maintain than lawn! You may be surprised how much you will enjoy your drought- tolerant garden.

For a typical single - family residence, the first adjustment represents only a $1.58 increase per month on a combine bill basis. What is the reason for this increase? Rising Cost to Purchase Import Water: Approximately 32 percent of Santa Ana's water is imported from the State Water Projects and the Colorado River, Over the last three years, the cost to purchase imported water has increased 25 percent due to increased costs in supply, electricity, and water treatment. Aging Infrastructure: The City of Santa Aria has evaluated the state of its water and sewer lines, determining that roughly 13 miles of water pipeline and 44 miles of sewer mains are at a high risk of failing by 2020. One of the Citys top priorities is the creation and maintenance of a tangibly more reliable water system for all. While these services do come at a cost, residents will see expanding water improve merit projects being carried out, leading these projects is a plan to replace five miles of distribution pipelines each year, which is desperately needed as much of the Citys sewer and water lines were Installed before the 1980s. Residents are encouraged to take advantage of the SoCal Water$mart Rebate program, which will not only boost the communitys conservancy efforts but also help offset bill increases (for more details, see SoCal Water$mart Rebate Program). Average age of Santa Ana's water and sewer systems: 50 Percentage of water and sewer systems installed prior to 1980s: 70% and 85% (respectively) Likelihood of failure over the next 5 years: - 5% of Santa Ana's water system ('13 miles) -12% of Santa Ana's sewer collection system (44 miles) on SANTA ANA WATER QUALITY REPORT EXHIBIT 5 75C -62 SAFETY, MOBILITY AND A As Executive Director of Public Works for the fourth densest city in the nation, Fred Mousavipour has safety and sustainability on his mind. A 22 -year veteran of public works and engineering projects in Los Angeles and neighboring cities, Mousavipour has set his sights on reducing the number of fatalities and injuries involving bikes and pedestrians in Santa Ana. "We want to be one of the best,' he says. "Our goal is zero fatalities, and we can achieve that by improving safety and providing multiple means of mobility." Mousavipour is a graduate of USC with a background in civil engineering. He wonted for the City of Los Angeles on big projects like the Hyperion treatment plant and was the Chief Design Engineer for all four wastewater plants. After his tenure in the private sector as a managing director of commercial real estate, Mousavipour joined the city of Redlands where he became Director of Municipal Utilities. Mousavipour envisions better use of vehicles, bicycles and public transportation for Santa Ana. He wants to improve the city's walkability, reduce traffic speed, create more bike lanes and widen sidewalks. "New York and San Francisco have many of the same transportation and safety issues and I believe Santa Ana can overcome them in much the same way as those cities" Mousavipour's other major priority is to build a sustainable infrastructure with greater use of technology. That includes energy conservation and LEER certified construction and design. "Everything we do in Public Works has a direct effect on quality of life and that makes it exciting. It gives us a chance to make a big contribution. Thais why I studied engineering. Its my dream, and I'm excited that the City of Santa Ana and its people give us the latitude to provide those services."

Here's a brief look at several projects completed and planned. MAN RERIPLACk"iIAENT More than 9,000 feet ('1.7 miles) of aged water pipe —some as old as 100 years —was replaced along Broadway between Civic Center Drive and Santa Clara Street last year. The $2.5 million project included the Installation of new water valves, fire hydrants, meters and meter boxes. Santa Ana's Water Resources Division scheduled this project In conjunction with a major street reconstruction project planned for Broadway. This coordinated effort leveraged city resources, Improved efficiencies, reduced overall construction costs and time, and minimized disruption to traffic and pedestrians. The new water services and pipeline will ensure the City can better handle emergencies such as fires, reduce the probability of water main breaks and Improve the reliability of service to residents and businesses. SANTA .V'=AKI 'S N ptrl S1:, 3i iP4=%Ij RI PUMP u.rTATMI Santa Ana is all about green... reducing our environmental footprint by improving efficiencies and reducing our energy and water consumption. There's no better example of this cam mitmentthan the renovation of our Walnut Pump Station. This older pump station located at Flower and 'I at streets was built In 1953 to pump water Into the City's pipe systern from an underground storage reservoir. It had becorne outdated and Inefficient, operating with old electrical components that were difficult to upgrade and service. Beginning this fall, the City will start construction on a new facilltythat will operate with the latest technology and efficiency standards. The facility will capture rain water, recycle run- off water, and use more efficient controls such as variable- frequency drives (VFDS) to reduce the amount of energy needed to pump the same about of water. These features will establish the new Walnut Pump Station— slated for completion by the end of 2016 —as Santa Ana's first "green" pump station certified for its water and energy efficiency.

Conservation has been and will be an important initiative, particularly as we. continue to face mandatory water restrictions due to California's historic drought. Last year, we asked all Santa Ana residents and businesses to save water as never before and, as a community, you took this message to heart. We not only met our conservation target, we exceeded that target by four percent. Despite the moderate rainfall we experienced last winter, we don't know how long th conditions will last and ask that you re vigilant In conserving this precious res- 21)15 WATER REPOR We are not only committed to excellent water quality but long -term sustalnablllty We are aggressively moving forward In revitalizing and improving our main water infrastructure and wastewater. This includes modernizing one of our oldest pumping stations, replacing 3 miles of pipes and augmenting our water infrastructure with six additional miles ofwatei lines At the same time, we have established a comprehensive citywide program to build a first -class network of streets, reduce traffic speed, and improve mobility by creating more bike lanes and widening sidewalks. Called SMaRT -Santa Ana, the program Is expected to not only reduce the number of fatalities involving pedestrians and cyclists, it will help create Jobs and improve quality of life for all Santa Ana residents. Last year alone, the Public Works Agency secured $45 million in grants from outside sources, which will help fund this important initiative for our City. Also, a number of successful public- private partnerships we have created in specific industrial neighborhoods are enabling the City to improve streets, sidewalks and ADA ramps at a reduced cost and ahead of schedule. This cost - sharing model will serve as a template for other communities in Santa Ana. "Water sustains life, enriches health and enables commerce. We treat it as a service to the community, not just an unlimited commodity." Looking to the future, we plan to provide a citywide broadband network and telecommunications system utilizing fiber optic technology. This gigabyte speed low -cost Internet will be a major service to the community and a tool for economic development as we become better positioned to attract new businesses to Santa Ana. All these programs exemplify our stewardship of Santa Ana's Infrastructure, which is essential to our communitys safety, health, and quality of life. We are proud of our community and are working to put Santa Ana on the map as one of the most proactive and innovative cities in the U.S. Fred Mousavipour Executive Director Public Works Agency City of Santa Ana WN011 :1k�:i 75C -72 ■ Report Sections What Is A Consumer Confidence Report (C:C:R)? he Consume cor dance 2eperr(CCR) is an annual water duality report that helps you make informed rho!Ces abou t tzi ws&eryoa ot.nk.
