FROM: CITY MANAGER DEPARTMENT: UTILITIES
DATE: JUNE 1,2009 CMR: 269:09
REPORT TYPE: CONSENT
SUBJECT: Finance Committee Recommendation to Adopt Three Resolutions: 1)
Approving Water Supply Agreement with the City and County of San
Francisco; 2) Approving Palo Alto's Individual Water Sales Contract
with the City and County of San Francisco; and 3) Adopting Findings
for Purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act in
Connection with Approval of a Water Supply Agreement with the
City and County of San Francisco
RECOMMENDATION
Staff, the Utilities Advisory Commission (UAC) and the Finance Committee recommend that
Council approve three resolutions:
1. Approving the New Water Supply Agreement between the City and County of San
Francisco and Wholesale Customers in Alameda County, San Mateo County and
Santa Clara County;
2. Approving Palo Alto's Individual Water Sales Contract with the City and County of
San Francisco; and
3. Adopting Findings for Purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act in
Connection with Approval of a Water Supply Agreement with the City and County of
San Francisco.
BACKGROUND
On September 11, 2006, Council authorized the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation
Agency (BAWSCA) to negotiate on behalf of the City of Palo Alto for a water services
agreement with the City and County of San Francisco (CMR: 341 :06, Resolution # 8638). The
governing board of each BA WSCA agency authorized BA WSCA to negotiate on their behalf.
BA WSCA has provided quarterly updates on the progress of the negotiations. These reports
were provided to the City Council (CMRs 295:07, 341:07, 101:08,231:08,346:08,433:08, and
154:09). On March 30, 2009, the Council received an informational report summarizing the
status of the Water Supply Agreement (WSA) as of early March 2009 (CMR: 184:09). At that
CMR: 269:09 Page 1 of3
time, there were a few outstanding issues, which have now been resolved and incorporated into
the final WSA.
On April 28, 2009, the SFPUC voted to: approve the WSA; to authorize the General Manager of
the SFPUC to execute the WSA with the Wholesale Customers; and to negotiate and approve the
Individual Water Sales Contracts with the Wholesale Customers substantially in the form
attached to the WSA. At the May 1, 2009 joint study session with the UAC, Art Jensen, the
General Manager of BA WSCA, provided a presentation on the contract elements and answered
questions of the Council.
DISCUSSION
BAWSCA prepared a summary report describing the WSA (Attachment G). Highlights of the
WSA, by contract section, are described in the staff report that was reviewed by the Finance
Committee on May 19,2009 (CMR: 252:09, Attachment D).
COMMITTEE REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS
On May 19,2009, the Finance Committee voted unanimously (3-0), to recommend that the City
Council adopt three resolutions:
(a) Approval of the New Water Supply Agreement with San Francisco;
(b) Approval of Palo Alto's Individual Water Sales Contract with San Francisco; and
(c) Adoption of Findings for Purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act in
Connection with Approval of a Water Supply Agreement with San Francisco.
In its discussions, the Finance Committee noted that this is a very important contract for the City
to enter into and that the May 1 joint UAC/Council study session helped to explain the
agreement and answer many of the Commissioners' and Council Members' questions. The notes
from the Finance Committee meeting are provided as Attachment J.
RESOURCE IMPACT
The cost of water under the new WSA is not expected to be significantly different from under the
current contract. Costs related to water supply are part of the revenue requirement for the Water
Enterprise Fund and are generally recovered from retail water rates set by the Council. There
will be no impact to the General Fund due to execution of the WSA.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
Approval of the new Water Supply Agreement is not a departure from existing City policy and
does not set new City policy.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The City and County of San Francisco is the "lead agency" under the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) with respect both to the Water System Improvement Program (WSIP) and
the water supply elements incorporated into the new Water Supply Agreement. In that capacity,
San Francisco has prepared and certified a seven-volume Program Environmental Impact Report
(Final PEIR), and adopted detailed findings related to the environmental effects of the "Phased
CMR: 269:09 Page 2 of3
WSIP" approved by the SFPUC ill October 2008, mitigation measures, and overriding
considerations.
The City, along with the other wholesale customers that are cities or districts may be considered
"responsible agencies" under CEQ A with respect to approval of the long term Water Supply
Agreement. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15381, a responsible agency has
discretionary approval power over a project for which a lead agency has prepared an EIR. The
Council finds, via the attached resolution, that the Final PEIR is adequate and that approval of
the Water Supply Agreement is within the scope of the WSIP and Final PEIR.

Utilities Advisory Commission Recommendation to Adopt Three
Resolutions: 1) Approval of the New Water Supply Agreement with
San Francisco; 2) Approval of Palo Alto's Individual Water Sales
Contract with San Francisco; and 3) Adoption of Findings for
Purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act in Connection
with Approval of a Water Supply Agreement with San Francisco
RECOMMENDATION
Staff and the Utilities Advisory Commission (UAC) recommend that the Finance Committee
recommend that Council approve three resolutions:
1. Approving the New Water Supply Agreement between the City and County of San
Francisco and Wholesale Customers in Alameda County, San Mateo County and
Santa Clara County;
2. Approving Palo Alto's Individual Water Sales Contract with the City and County of
San Francisco; and
3. Adopting Findings for Purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act in
Connection with Approval of a Water Supply Agreement with the City and County of
San Francisco.
BACKGROUND
Palo Alto's water supply consisted entirely of groundwater provided by the wells it owned and
operated until 1937, when the City contracted with San Francisco for a supplemental supply of
water. In 1962, after a survey was conducted to determine the water softening cost to Palo Alto
water users, the Council decided to purchase all of its water supplies from San Francisco. At that
time, a 20-year water supply contract was signed with San Francisco and Palo Alto's wells were
placed in standby status. Since then, the wells have been used for several extremely hot days in
the 1960's, for two weeks during the San Francisco employees' strike of 1976, and as
supplemental supply in 1988 and 1991 during an extended drought.
CMR: 252:09 Page 10f6
In 1974, San Francisco raised water rates to its wholesale customers by 20.5 percent but
increased San Francisco retail rates by only 14.5 percent. In response, the wholesale customers
sought and obtained a Preliminary Injunction and Temporary Restraining Order barring the rate
increase. This decision was affirmed, upon appeal, in 1977. In 1978, plaintiffs filed an
Amended and Supplemental Complaint in the action (City oj Palo Alto et al. v. City and County
oj San Francisco), which broadened the scope of the complaint into an attack upon the method
San Francisco used to charge its wholesale customers for water.
After the lawsuit was filed, at the urging of the trial judge, the parties engaged in negotiations to
resolve their differences and develop a framework for a new relationship. The Settlement
Agreement and Master Water Sales Contract (Master Contract) was signed by all parties in 1984.
The lengthy negotiations that extended from the time of the initial action to the successful
conclusion was led by the Bay Area Water Users Association (BA WUA), an organization
comprising the 28 cities, water districts, and private water utilities that purchase water from San
Francisco on a wholesale basis.
Each wholesale agency, including Palo Alto, has an individual water supply contract entered into
at the same time as the Master Contract. Palo Alto's individual water supply contract describes
the service territory, points of connection with San Francisco's regional water system, interties
with neighboring systems, and billing and payment details. The term of the Master Contract and
Palo Alto's individual water supply contract is 25 years, and expires on June 30, 2009.
The Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BA WSCA) was formed in 2003 and is
BA WUA's successor organization. BA WSCA member agencies are the same agencies that were
members of BA WUA and include all agencies that purchase water from the regional water
system owned by the City and County of San Francisco and operated by the San Francisco
Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC).
On September 11, 2006, Council authorized the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation
Agency (BAWSCA) to negotiate on behalf of the City of Palo Alto for a water services
agreement with the City and County of San Francisco (CMR: 341 :06, Resolution # 8638). The
governing board of each BAWSCA agency authorized BA WSCA to negotiate on their behalf
BAWSCA has provided quarterly updates on the progress of the negotiations. These reports
were provided to the City Council (CMRs 295 :07, 341 :07, 101 :08, 231 :08, 346:08, 433 :08, and
154:09).
The existing Master Contract settled the issues of its time, which were primarily related to cost
allocation and the restriction of costs allocated to wholesale agencies to those facilities and
services that benefit them. Many other issues were either not settled or not addressed in the
Master Contract. The goals that have been expressed by the BA WSCA member agencies can be
distilled into BA WSCA's overall goal of ensuring a reliable supply of high quality water at a fair
price.
DISCUSSION
On March 30, 2009, the Council received an informational report summarizing the status of the
Water Supply Agreement (WSA) as of early March 2009 (CMR: 184:09). At that time, there
CMR: 252:09 Page 2 of6
were a few outstanding issues, which have now been resolved and incorporated into the final
WSA.
On April 28, 2009, the SFPUC voted to approve the WSA; to authorize the General Manager of
the SFPUC to execute the WSA with the Wholesale Customers; and to negotiate and approve the
Individual Water Sales Contracts with the Wholesale Customers substantially in the form
attached to the WSA. The agenda item for the SFPUC's April 28 meeting (Attachment D)
contains a description of the WSA.
BAWSCA prepared a summary report describing the WSA (Attachment C). Highlights of the
WSA, by contract section, include the following:
Article 1. Parties, Effective Date, and Defined Terms
• The parties to the WSA are the City and County of San Francisco and the wholesale agencies.
Article 2. Term; Amendments During Term
• The WSA will be in effect, unless it is extended, for 25 years from July 1,2009 to June 30,
2034.
Article 3. Water Supply
• Reconfirms the wholesale agencies collective supply assurance of 184 million gallons per
day (MGD) as well as the agencies' individual "supply guarantees." The supply guarantees
are transferrable between agencies.
• Commits the Wholesale Customers to implement water efficiency programs and practices to
ensure that the SFPUC is eligible to receive state and federal grants. San Francisco and the
Wholesale Customers agree to explore support for water conservation and recycling outside
the Bay Area to benefit the Tuolumne River.
• San Francisco agrees to deliver water that meets all applicable drinking water standards.
This has been the practice historically, but is now in the WSA.
• San Francisco agrees to complete the Water System Improvement Program (WSIP) by 2015
and requires the SFPUC to maintain the regional water system and submit reports on the
status of the system.
• San Francisco agrees to operate the regional water system to give priority to water supply
over electric power generation. This has been the practice since the 1987-1992 drought, but
is now part of the WSA.
• In water shortages, the available water will be divided between San Francisco and the
Wholesale Customers as agreed to in the Interim Water Shortage Allocation Plan (IWSAP).
How to divide the water allocated to the Wholesale Customers among them is not part of the
WSA so that the Wholesale Customers will need to continue the methodology in the IWSAP,
or negotiate an alternate mechanism.
• Allows BA WSCA or individual Wholesale Customers to transport, or "wheel" water through
the regional water system during water shortage periods subject to water quality
considerations.
CMR: 252:09 Page 3 of6
Article 4. Implementation of Interim Supply Limitation.
• Implements the decision made by the SFPUC when it adopted the WSIP in conjunction with
San Francisco's approval of the Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) for the WSIP,
with respect to the Interim Supply Limitation in effect until December 31, 2018. The Interim
Supply Limitation limits water sales from San Francisco's watersheds to 81 MGD for San
Francisco and 184 MGD for the Wholesale Customers for a total limitation of 265 MGD.
The WSA requires San Francisco to decide if it will increase the 184 MGD supply assurance
by December 31, 2009.
• San Francisco must decide how to divide up the Wholesale Customers' 184 MGD Interim
Supply Limitation among the Wholesale Customers by December 2010. These allocations
are separate and distinct from the 184 MGD supply assurance and the individual supply
guarantees discussed in Article 3.
• If water usage for the regional water system exceeds the 265 MGD Interim Supply
Limitation, then an "environmental enhancement surcharge" will be levied on those agencies
(including San Francisco) that exceed their individual limitations. Receipts from the
surcharge will be used for environmental restoration or enhancement projects on San
Francisco watersheds.
Article 5. Wholesale Revenue Requirement
• Describes the basis for detennination of the Wholesale Revenue Requirement, the amount of
money the Wholesale Customers are required to pay to the SFPUC for ownership, operation,
and maintenance of the regional water system. In general, the provisions in this section are
the same as those in the current Master Contract, which relate to appropriate allocation of
costs for facilities and programs ofthe regional water system.
• Establishes the methodology to allocate capital costs for the regional water system. In the
current Master Contract, the "utility method" of recovering capital costs is used. This
method requires the Wholesale Customers to pay depreciation and a rate of return on the net
book value of the assets. The WSA discontinues this method and replaces it with the "cash
method" for new assets. In addition, the Wholesale Customers will pay their remaining share
of existing assets built and in service as of June 30, 2009, through a series of level payments
over 25 years. The cash method requires wholesale customers to pay their share of debt
service payments and capital improvements funded from reserves.
Article 6. Integration of Wholesale Revenue Requirement with SFPUC Budget Development and
Rate Adjustments
• Requires the SFPUC to send its proposed annual budget to BAWSCA. This is similar to the
requirements in the current Master Contract.
• Allows SFPUC to establish wholesale rates to recover the Wholesale Revenue Requirement.
This is similar to provisions in the current Master Contract, but includes more coordination
and consultation with BA WSCA.
• Requires the use of a balancing account for the difference between the amounts charged to
Wholesale Customers and the total amount that the Wholesale Customers are required to pay.
This is similar to provisions in the current Master Contract, but adds more flexibility so that
rates do not fluctuate greatly.
CMR: 252:09 Page 4 of6
Article 7. Accounting Procedures; Compliance Audit
• Requires maintenance of a rigorous accounting system for SFPUC to implement the
calculation of the Wholesale Revenue Requirement and rate setting, similar to the
requirements in the current Master Contract.
• Provides for an annual compliance audit of the calculation of the Wholesale Revenue
Requirement, similar to the requirements in the current Master Contract.
Article 8. Other Agreements of the Parties
• Delegates administrative tasks to BA WSCA, the representative for the Wholesale Customers.
• Commits SFPUC to meet annually with the Wholesale Customers. This is also a provision of
the current Master Contract.
• Requires that disputes be resolved by mandatory binding arbitration as in the current Master
Contract.
Article 9. Implementation and Special Provisions Affecting Certain Wholesale Customers
• Sets out provisions for certain Wholesale Customers. Palo Alto is not mentioned in this
section and the provisions set forth do not apply to the City.
COMMISSION REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS
On May 6, 2009, the UAC voted unanimously (4-0), to recommend that the City Council:
(a) Approve the New Water Supply Agreement between the City and County of San
Francisco and Wholesale Customers in Alameda County, San Mateo County and Santa
Clara County; and
(b) Approve Palo Alto's Individual Water Sales Contract with the City and County of San
Francisco as long as it is not significantly different from the template provided as
Attachment F to the Water Supply Agreement.
In its discussions, the UAC noted that the agreement is an improvement over the current
contract, but were concerned about how the Interim Water Supply Limitation would be shared
among the Wholesale Customers. The notes from the UAC meeting are provided as Attachment
L
RESOURCE IMPACT
The cost of water under the new WSA is not expected to be significantly different from under the
current contract. Costs related to water supply are part of the revenue requirement for the Water
Enterprise Fund and are generally recovered from retail water rates set by the Council. There
will be no impact to the General Fund due to execution of the WSA.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
Approval of the new Water Supply Agreement is not a departure from existing City policy and
does not set new City policy.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The City and County of San Francisco is the "lead agency" under the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) with respect both to the Water System Improvement Program (WSIP) and
CMR: 252:09 Page 5 of6
the water supply elements incorporated into the new Water Supply Agreement. In that capacity,
San Francisco has prepared and certified a seven-volume Program Environmental Impact Report
(Final PElR), and adopted detailed findings related to the environmental effects of the "Phased
WSIP" approved by the SFPUC in October 2008, mitigation measures, and overriding
considerations.
The City, along with the other wholesale customers that are cities or districts may be considered
"responsible agencies" under CEQA with respect to approval of the long term Water Supply
Agreement. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15381, a responsible agency has
discretionary approval power over a project for which a lead agency has prepared an EIR. The
Council finds, via the attached resolution that the Final PEIR is adequate and that approval of the
Water Supply Agreement is within the scope of the WSIP and Final PEIR.

1.03 Effective Date
A. Except as provided in subsection C, this Agreement shall become effective only
when it has been approved by San Francisco and by each of the entities listed in Section 1.02
and when San Francisco and each of those entities (except for the City of Hayward) have
entered into an Individual Water Sales Contract as provided in Section 9.01.
B. If San Francisco and all of the entities listed in Section 1.02 approve this
Agreement and (except for the City of Hayward) an Individual Water Sales Contract on or before
July 1, 2009, the effective date sl1all be July 1,2009. If San Francisco and all of the entities
listed in Section 1.02 approve this Agreement and (except for the City of Hayward) an Individual
Water Sales Contract after July 1,2009 but on or before September 1,2009, the effective date
shall be the date on which the last entity listed in Section 1.02 approves this Agreement and, if
required, an Individual Water Sales Contract.
C. If by September 1, 2009 this Agreement has been approved by fewer than all of
the entities listed in Section 1.02 or fewer than all of such entities (other than the City of
Hayward) have entered into an Individual Water Sales Contract, but it has been approved by
entities representing at least 75% in number and 75% of the water purchased from SFPUC by
-2-1840795.8
all listed agencies during FY 2007-08 (Le., 173.39 MGD), then San Francisco shall have the
option to waive the requirement in subsection A that all listed agencies have approved this
Agreement and an Individual Water Sales Contract as a condition precedent to this Agreement

will be bound thereby and this Agreement and Individual Water Sales Contracts will become
effective as to them, as of the date of San Francisco's waiver. For purposes of determining
whether listed agencies that have approved this Agreement represent at least 75% of the water
purchased during FY 2007-08, the quantity of water attributable to each listed entity shall be as
set forth on Attachment B.
D. The provisions of Article 9 that apply to fewer than all Wholesale Customers (Le.,
Sections 9.02 -9.07) shall not become effective unless San Francisco and the entity to which
the section applies have each approved (1) this Agreement, and (2) the underlying Individual
Water Sales Contract, unless otherwise provided in Article 9. This provision does not affect the

July 1, 2009) and seventy five percent (75%) of the quantity of water delivered by San Francisco
to all Wholesale Customers during the fiscal year immediately preceding the amendment.
3. No amendment which adversely affects a Fundamental Right of a
Wholesale Customer may be made without the written consent of that customer. Amendments
to Article 5 which merely affectthe allocation of costs between City Retail customers on the one
hand and Wholesale Customers collectively on the other. and amendments to Articles 6 and 7
which merely alter budgetary, accounting and auditing procedures do not affect Fundamental
Rights and may be made with the consent of parties meeting the requirements of Section
2.03.A.2.
4. When an amendment has been approved by San Francisco and the
number of Wholesale Customers required in Section 2.03.A.2, San Francisco shall notify each
of the Wholesale Customers in writing of the amendment's adoption. Notwithstanding any
provision of law or this Agreement, any Wholesale Customer that claims that the amendment
violates its Fundamental Rights under Section 2.03.A.3, shall have 30 days from the date San
Francisco delivers the notice of its adoption in which to challenge the amendment's validity
through a judicial action: If no such action is filed within 30 days, the amendment shall be finally
and conclusively deemed to have been adopted in compliance with this section.
B. Amendments to Article 9
1. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.03.A.2 and 2.03.A.3, any
provision of Article 9 which applies only to an individual Wholesale Customer may be amended
with the written concurrence of San Francisco and the Wholesale Customer to which it applies;
-5-1840795.8
provided that the amendment will not, directly or indirectly, adversely affect the Fundamental
Rights of the other Wholesale Customers.
2. Before making any such amendment effective, San Francisco shall give
notice, with a copy of the text of the proposed amendment, to all other Wholesale Customers.
The Wholesale Customers shall have 30 days in which to object to the amendment on the
ground that it is not permissible under this subsection. If no such objection is received by San
Francisco, the proposed amendment shall become effective. If one or more Wholesale
Customers object to the amendment, San Francisco, the individual Wholesale Customer with
which San Francisco intends to effect the amendment, and the Wholesale Customer(s) which
lodged the objection shall meet to discuss the matter.
3. If the dispute cannot be resolved and San Francisco and the Wholesale
Customer involved elect to proceed with the amendment, either San Francisco or the Wholesale
Customer shall give written notice of such election to each Wholesale Customer that has
objected. Any Wholesale Customer that has objected to such amendment shall have 30 days
from receipt of this notice within which to commence an action challenging the validity of such
amendment, and such amendment shall be deemed effective as of the end of this 30-day period
unless restrained by order of court.
C. Amendments to Attachments. The following attachments may be amended

L-1 Identification of WSIP Projects as Regional/Retail
N-1 Balancing AccounURate Setting Calculation Table
N-2 Wholesale Revenue Requirement Schedules

-6-1840795.8
Amendments to these attachments shall be approved on behalf of San Francisco by the
Commission and on behalf of BAWSCA by its Board of Directors, unless the Commission by
resolution delegates such authority to the General Manager of the SFPUC or the Board of
Directors by resolution delegates such authority to the General Manager/CEO of BAWSCA.
D. Amendments to Individual Water Sales Contracts. Individual Water Sales
Contracts described in Section 9.01 may be amended with the written concurrence of San
Francisco and the Wholesale Customer which is a party to that Individual Water Sales Contract;
provided that the amendment is not inconsistent with this Agreement or in derogation of the
Fundamental Rights of other Wholesale Customers under this Agreement
-7-1840795.8
Article 3. Water Supply
3.01 SURpl~ Assurance
A San Francisco agrees to deliver water to the Wholesale Customers up to the
amount of the Supply Assurance. The Supply Assurance is for the benefit of the entities listed
in Section 1.02, irrespective of whether or not they have executed this Agreement. Water
delivered by San Francisco to Retail Customers shall not be included in the Supply Assurance.
Until December 31,2018, the foregoing commitment is subject to Article 4.
B. Both the Supply Assurance and the Individual Supply Guarantees identified in
Section 3.02 are expressed in terms of daily deliveries on an annual average basis and do not
themselves constitute a guarantee by San Francisco to meet peak daily or hourly demands of
the Wholesale Customers, irrespective of what those peak demands may be. The parties
acknowledge, however, that the Regional Water System has been designed and constructed to
meet peak daily and hourly demands and that its capacity to do so has not yet been reached.
San Francisco agrees to operate the Regional Water System to meet peak requirements of the
Wholesale Customers to the extent possible without adversely affecting its ability to meet peak
demands of Retail Customers. This Agreement shall not preclude San Francisco from
undertaking to meet specific peak demand requirements of individual Wholesale Customers in
their Individual Water Sales Contracts.
C. The Supply Assurance is perpetual and shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Agreement. Similarly, the Individual Supply Guarantees identified in Section
3.02 and/or the Individual Water Sales Contracts are perpetual and shall survive the expiration
or earlier termination of this Agreement or the I ndividual Water Sales Contracts.
D. Notwithstanding the Supply Assurance established by this section, the Individual
Supply Guarantees identified in Section 3,02 and the Individual Water Sales Contracts, the
amount of water made available by San Francisco to the Wholesale Customers is subject to
reduction, to the extent and for the period made necessary by reason of water shortage,
Drought, Emergencies, or by malfunctioning or rehabilitation of facilities in the Regional Water
System. Any such reduction will be implemented in accordance with Section 3.11. The amount
of water made available to the Wholesale Customers may not be reduced, however, merely
because the water recycling and groundwater projects which the WSIP envisions to be
constructed within San Francisco, or the conservation programs intended to reduce water use
-8-1840795.8
by Retail Customers that are included in the WSIP, do not generate the yield or savings (10
MGD combined) anticipated by San Francisco.
3.02 Allocation of Supply Assurance
A. Pursuantto Section 7.02 of the 1984 Agreement, a portion of the Supply
Assurance has been allocated among 24 of the 27 Wholesale Customers. These Individual
Supply Guarantees are also expressed in terms of annual average metered deliveries of
millions of gallons per day and are listed in Attachment C.
B. Three Wholesale Customers do not have Individual Supply Guarantees. The
cities of San Jose and Santa Clara do not have an Individual Supply Guarantees because San
Francisco has provided water to them on a temporary and interruptible basis as described in
Sections 4.05 and 9.06. The City of Hayward does not have an Individual Supply Guarantee
because of the terms of the 1962 contract between it and San Francisco, as further described in
Section 9.03.
C. If the total amount of water delivered by San Francisco to Hayward and to the
Wholesale Customers that are listed on Attachment C exceeds 184 MGD over a period of three
consecutive fiscal years (Le., July 1 through June 30), then the Individual Supply Guarantees of
those Wholesale Customers listed on Attachment C shall be reduced pro rata so that their
combined entitlement and the sustained use by Hayward does not exceed 184 MGD. The
procedure for calculating the pro rata reduction in Individual Supply Guarantees is set out in
Attachment D.
1. The provisions of this subsection C are not in derogation of the
reservation of claims to water in excess of the Supply Assurance which are contained in Section
8.07. Nor do they constitute an acknowledgement by Wholesale Customers other than
Hayward that San Francisco is obligated or entitled to reduce their Individual Supply
Guarantees in the circumstances described herein. The provisions of this sUbsection C shall,
however, be operative unless and until a court determines that its provisions violate rights of the
Wholesale Customers derived independently of this Agreement.
2. The foregoing paragrapti is not intended to and shall not constitute a
contractual commitment on the part of San Francisco to furnish more water than the Supply
Assurance to the Wholesale Customers or a concession by San Francisco that the provisions of
this subsection violate any rights of the Wholesale Customers.
-9-1840795.8
D. Notwithstanding the reservation of claims contained in Sections 3.02.C and 8.07,
it shall be the responsibility of each Wholesale Customer to limit its purchases of water from
San Francisco so as to remain within its Individual Supply Guarantee. San Francisco shall not
be liable to any Wholesale Customer or be obligated to supply more water to any Wholesale
Customer individually or to the Wholesale Customers collectively than the amount to which it or
they are otherwise entitled under this Agreement due to the use by any Wholesale Customer of
more water than the amount to which it is entitled under this Agreement.
E. San Francisco shall install such new connections between the Regional Water
System and the distribution system of any Wholesale Customer that are necessary to deliver
the quantities of water to which the Wholesale Customer is entitled under this Agreement. San
Francisco shall have the right to determine the location of such connections, in light of the need
to maintain the structural integrity of the Regional Water System and, where applicable, the
need to limit peaking directly off of Regional Water System pipelines by a Wholesale Customer's
individual retail customers, the need to ensure that a Wholesale Customer's individual retail
customers have access to alternative sources of water in the event of a reduction in San
Francisco's ability to provide them with water, and other factors which may affect the desirability
or undesirability of a particular location. San Francisco's decisions regarding the location of
new connections and the location, size and type of any new meters shall not be reviewable by a
court except for an abuse of discretion or failure to provide a Wholesale Customer with
connections and meters adequate to deliver the quantity of water to which it is entitled under
this Agreement.
3.03 Wholesale Customer Service Areas
A. Each of the Individual Water Sales Contracts described in Section 9.01 will
contain, as an exhibit, a map of the Wholesale Customer's service area. A Wholesale
Customer may not deliver water furnished to it by San Francisco outside the boundary of its
service area without the prior written consent of San Francisco, except for deliveries to another
Wholesale Customer on an emergency and temporary basis pursuant to Section 3.07.8.
B. If a Wholesale Customer wishes to expand its service area, it shall request San
Francisco's consent to the expansion and provide information reasonably requested by San
Francisco about the amount of water projected to be purchased from San Francisco to meet
demand within the area proposed to be added to the service area.
-10-1840795.8
C. San Francisco may refuse a Wholesale Customer's request to expand its service
area on any reasonable basis. If San Francisco denies a request by a Wholesale Customer to
expand its service area, or fails to act on the request for six months after it has been submitted,
the Wholesale Customer may challenge San Francisco's denial or delay in court. Such a
challenge may be based on the Wholesale Customers' claim, reserved in Section 8.07, that San
Francisco is obligated under federal or state law to furnish water, included within its Individual
Supply Guarantee, to it for delivery outside its then-existing service area and that it is entitled to
enlarge its service area to supply water to such customers. San Francisco reserves the right to
contest any such claim on any applicable ground. This subsection does not apply to San Jose
and Santa Clara, whose maximum service areas are fixed pursuant to Section 9.06.
D. This section will not prevent San Francisco and any Wholesale Customer, other
than San Jose and Santa Clara, from agreeing in an Individual Water Sales Contract or an
amendment thereto that:
• the Wholesale Customer may expand its service area without
subsequent San Francisco approval to a definitive size but no larger,
or
• the Wholesale Customer wiiJ not expand its service area beyond its
present limits without San Francisco approval
and waiving the provisions of this section with respect to any additional expansion.
E. If two or more Wholesale Customers agree to adjust the boundaries of their
respective service areas so that one assumes an obligation to serve customers in an area that
was previously within the service area of another Wholesale Customer, they may also
correspondingly adjust their respective Individual Supply Guarantees. Such adjustments are
not subject to the requirements of Section 3.04 and shall require only the consent of San
Francisco and the Wholesale Customers involved. so long as the Supply Assurance and the
Individual Supply Guarantees of other Wholesale Customers are not affected. Service area
boundary adjustments that would result in the expansion of any California Water Service
Company service areas are subject to the requirements of Section 9.02.0. Any adjustment of
service area boundaries that would result in the supply of water in violation of this Agreement or
the Act shall be void.
F. San Francisco acknowledges that it has heretofore consented in writing to
deliveries of water by individual Wholesale Customers outside their service area boundaries and
-11-1840795.8
agrees that nothing in this Agreement is intended to affect such prior authorizations, which
remain in full force and effect according to their terms. Such authorizations shall be identified in
the Individual Water Sales Contracts.
3.04 Permanent Transfers of Individual Supply Guarantees
A. A Wholesale Customer that has an Individual Supply Guarantee may transfer a
portion of it to one or more other Wholesale Customers, as provided in this section.
B. Transfers of a portion of an Individual Supply Guarantee must be permanent.
The minimum quantity that may be transferred is 1/10th of a MGD.
C. Transfers of portions of Individual Supply Guarantees are subject to approval by
the SFPUC. SFPUC review is limited to determining (1) whether a proposed transfer complies
with the Act, and (2) whether the affected facilities in the Regional Water System have sufficient
capacity to accommodate delivery of the increased amount of water to the proposed transferee.
D. The participants in a proposed transfer shall provide notice to the SFPUC
specifying the amount of the Individual Supply Guarantee proposed to be transferred, the
proposed effective date of the transfer, wh1ch shall not be less than 60 days after the notice is
submitted to the SFPUC, and the Individual Supply Guarantees of both participants resulting
from the transfer. The SFPUC may require additional information reasonably necessary to
evaluate the operational impacts of the transfer. The SFPUC will not unreasonably withhold or
delay its approval; if the SFPUC does not act on the notice within 60 days, the transfer will be
deemed to have been approved.
E. Within 30 days after the transfer has become effective, both the transferor and
the transferee will provide notice to the SFPUC and BAWSCA. By September 30 of each year
during the Term, the SFPUC and BAWSCA will prepare an updated Attachment C to refiect
transfers occurring during the immediately preceding fiscal year.
F. Amounts transferred will remain subject to pro rata reduction under the
circumstances described in Section 3.02.C and according to the formula set forth in
Attachment D.
3.05 Restrictions on Resale
Each Wholesale Customer agrees that it will not sell any water purchased from San
Francisco to a private party for resale by such private party to others in violation of the Act.

Each Wholesale Customer also agrees that it will not sell water purchased from San
Francisco to another Wholesale Customer without prior written approval of the SFPUC, except
on a temporary and emergency basis as permitted in Section 3.07.B.2. The SFPUC agrees that
it will not unreasonably withhold its consent to a request by a Wholesale Customer to deliver
water to another Wholesale Customer for resale.
3.06 Conservation; Use of Local Sources; Water Management Charge
A In order to support the continuation and expansion of water conservation
programs, water recycling, and development of alternative supplies within the Wholesale
Customers' service areas, the SFPUC will, if requested by BAWSCA, include the Water
Management Charge in water bills sent to Wholesale Customers. The SFPUC will deliver al/
Water Management Charge revenue to BAWSCA monthly and shall deliver an annual
accounting of Water Management Charge revenue to BAWSCA within 90 days after the end of
each fiscal year. The SFPUC's obligations to collect and deliver Water Management Charge
revenue to BAWSCA under this subsection are conditioned on BAWSCA's delivery to the
SFPUC of an annual report describing the projects and programs on which Water Management
Charge funds received from the SFPUC during the previous fiscal year were expended and an
estimate of the amount of water savings attributable to conservation programs and of the yield
of alternative supplies developed. This report will be due within 180 days after the end of each
fiscal year during which Water Management Charge funds were received.
B. The SFPUC will work together with BAWSCA to explore ways to support water
conservation programs, recycling projects, and conjunctive use alternatives outside the
Wholesale Service Area, in particular projects and programs that have the potential to increase
both flows in the lower Tuolumne River (downstream of New Don Pedro Reservoir) and water
deliveries to the Regional Water System.
C. Each Wholesale Customer shalf take all actions within its legal authority related
to water conservation that are necessary to insure that the SFPUC (a) remains eligible for (i)
state and federal grants and (ii) access to the Drought Water Bank operated by the California
Department of Water Resources, as well as other Drought-related water purchase or transfer
programs, and (b) complies with future legal requirements imposed on the Regional Water
System by the federal government, the State, or any other third party as conditions for receiving
funding or water supply.
-13-J 840795.8
D. San Francisco and each Wholesale Customer agree that they will diligently apply
their best efforts to use both surface water and groundwater sources located within their
respective service areas and available recycled water to the maximum feasible extent, taking
into account the environmental impacts, the public health effects and the effects on supply
reliability of such use, as well as the cost of developing such sources.
3.07 Restrictions on Purchases of Water from Others; Minimum Annual Purchases
A. Each Wholesale Customer (except for Alameda County Water District and the
cities of Milpitas, Mountain View and Sunnyvale) agrees that it will not contraCt for, purchase or
receive, with or without compensation, directly or indirectly, from any person, corporation,
governmental agency or other entity. any water for delivery or use within its service area without
the prior written consent of San Francisco.
B. The prohibition in subsection A does not apply to:
1. recycled water;
2. water necessary on an emergency and temporary basis, provided that the
Wholesale Customer promptly gives San Francisco notice of the nature of the emergency, the
amount of water that has been or is to be purchased, and the expected duration of the
emergency; or
3. water in excess of a Wholesale Customer's Individual Supply Guarantee.
C. Alameda County Water District and the cities of Milpitas, Mountain View and
Sunnyvale may purchase water from sources other than San Francisco, provided that San
Francisco shall require that each purchase a minimum annual quantity of water from San
Francisco. These minimum quantities are set out in Attachment E and shall also be included in
the Individual Water Sales Contracts between San Francisco and each of these four Wholesale
Customers. The minimum purchase requirement in these Individual Water Sales Contracts will
be waived during a Drought or other period of water shortage if the water San Francisco makes
available to these Wholesale Customers is less than its minimum purchase quantity.
3.08 Water Quality
A. San Francisco shall deliver treated water to Wholesale Customers (except
Coastside County Water District, which receives untreated water from Crystal Springs and
Pilarcitos Reservoirs) that complies with primary maximum contaminant level and treatment
-14-1840795.8
technique standards at the regulatory entry points designated in the San Francisco Regional
Water System Domestic Water Supply Permit (currently Permit No. 02-04-04P381 0001) issued
by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH).
B. San Francisco will provide notice to the Wholesale Customers in accordance with
the Water Quality Notification and Communications Plan (current version dated January 2006),
attached hereto as Attachment G. San Francisco will regularly update its plan in consultation
with the Wholesale Customers and the CDPH. The next update will be completed one year
after the Effective Date and include expanded coverage of secondary maximum contaminant
level exceedances and water quality communication triggers. The plan will note that the
Wholesale Customers will receive the same notification no later than the San Francisco water
system (currently Permit No. 02-04-01 P3810011) except for distribution-related issues.
C. San Francisco and the Wholesale Customers will establish a Water Quality
Committee. The Water Quality Committee will meet at least quarterly to collaboratively address
water quality issues, such as Water Quality Notification and Communications Plan updates,
regulatory issues, and water quality planning studies/ applied research. San Francisco and
each Wholesale Customer will designate a representative to serve on the committee. There will
be a Chair and Vice Chair position for the Water Quality Committee. The Chair and Vice Chair
positions will be held by San Francisco and the Wholesale Customers and rotate between them
on an annual basis.
3.09 Completion of WSIP
San Francisco will complete construction of the physical facilities in the WSIP by
December 31, 2015. The SFPUC agrees to provide for full public review and comment by local
and state interests of any proposed changes that delay previously adopted project completion
dates or that delete projects. The SFPUC shall meet and consult with BAWSCA before
proposing to the Commission any changes in the scope of WSIP projects which reduce their
capacity or ability to achieve adopted levels of service goals. The SFPUC retains discretion to
determine whether to approve the physical facilities in the WSIP until after it completes the
CEQA process as set forth in Section 4.07.
3.10 Regional Water System Repair, Maintenance and Operation
A San Francisco will keep the Regional Water System in good working order and
repair consistent with prudent utility practice.
-15-1840795.8
B. San Francisco will submit reports to its Retail and Wholesale Customers on the
"State of the Regional Water System," including reports on completed and planned
maintenance, repair or replacement projects or programs, by September of every even-
numbered year, with reports to start in September 2010.
C. San Francisco will cooperate with any audit of the SFPUC's asset management
practices that may be initiated and financed by BAWSCA or the Wholesale Customers.
BAWSCA may contract with third parties to conduct the audits. San Francisco will consider the
findings and recommendations of such audits and will provide a written response indicating
agreement with the recommendations, or disagreement with particular recommendations and
the reasons why, within 90 calendar days after receipt.
D. San Francisco will continue to operate its reservoirs in a manner that assigns
higher priority to the delivery of water to the Bay Area and the environment than to the
generation of electric power. The SF PUC, as the Regional Water System operator, is solely
responsible for making day-to-day operational decisions.
3.11 Shortages
A. Localized Water Reductions. Notwithstanding San Francisco's obligations to
deliver the Supply Assurance to the Wholesale Customers collectively and the Individual Supply
Guarantees to Wholesale Customers individually, San Francisco may reduce the amount of
water available or interrupt water deliveries to specific geographical areas within the Regional
Water System service area to the extent that such reductions are necessary due to
Emergencies, or in order to install, repair, rehabilitate, replace, investigate or inspect equipment
in, or perform other maintenance work on, the Regional Water System. Such reductions or
interruptions may be imposed by San Francisco without corresponding reductions or
interruptions in the amount of water available to SFPUC water users outside the specific
geographical area where reductions or interruptions are necessary, if the system's ability to
supply water outside the specific geographical area has not been impaired. In the event of such
a reduction or interruption, San Francisco will restore the supply of water to the specific
geographical area as soon as is possible. Except in cases of Enlergencies (during Which oral
notice shall be sufficient), San Francisco will give the affected Wholesale Customer(s)
reasonable written notice of such localized reductions or interruptions, the reasons therefor, and
the probable duration thereof.
-16-18407958
B. System-Wide Shortages and SFPUC Response to Regional Emergencies.
Following a major system emergency event, the SFPUC will work closely with its Wholesale
Customers to monitor customer demand, including the demand source. In the event that any
individual Wholesale Service Area or Retail Service Area customer's uncontrolled distribution
system leaks could result in major water waste and endanger the supply provided by the
Regional Water System as a whole, flow through some customer connections may need to be
temporarily reduced or terminated. SFPUC will work closely with customers to assess the
nature of the demand (e.g. fire-fighting versus leakage), so that public health and safety
protection can be given top priority.
1. All emergencies that require use of non-potable source water will require
use of chlorine, or other suitable disinfectant, if feasible.
2. San Francisco will use its best efforts to meet the seismic reliability and
delivery reliability level of service goals adopted by the Commission in conjunction with the
WSIP. San Francisco will distribute water on an equitable basis throughout the Regional Water
System service area following a regional Emergency, subject to physical limitations caused by
damage to the Regional Water System.
3. San Francisco's response to Emergencies will be guided by the then-
current version of the ERRP. The SFPUC shall periodically review, and the Commission may
amend, the ERRP to ensure that it remains an up-to-date and effective management tool.
4. The SFPUC will give the Wholesale Customers notice of any proposal to
amend the ERRP in a manner that would affect them. The notice will be delivered at least thirty
days in advance of the date on which the proposal is to be considered by the Commission and
will be accompanied by the text of the proposed amendment.
C. Shortages Caused by Drought; Acquisition of Dry Year Supplies.
Notwithstanding San Francisco's obligations to deliver the Supply Assurance to the Wholesale
Customers collectively and the Individual Supply Guarantees to Wholesale Customers
individually, San Francisco may reduce the amount of water available to the Wholesale
Customers in response to Drought.
1. The Tier 1 Shortage Plan (Attachment H) will continue to be used to
allocate water from the Regional Water System between Retail and Wholesale Customers
during system-wide shortages of 20% or less.
-17-1840795.8
2. San Francisco and the Wholesale Customers may negotiate in good faith
revisions to the Tier 1 Shortage Plan to adjust for and accommodate anticipated changes due to
demand hardening in the SFPUC's Wholesale and Retail Service Areas. Until agreement is
reached, the current Tier 1 Shortage Plan will remain in effect.
3. The SFPUC will honor allocations of water among the Wholesale
Customers ("Tier 2 Allocations") provided by BAWSCA or if unanimously agreed to by all
Wholesale Customers. If BAWSCA or all Wholesale Customers do not provide the SFPUC with
Tier 2 Allocations, then the SFPUC may make a final allocation decision after first meeting and
discussing allocations with BAWSCA and the Wholesale Customers. For Regional Water
Systerl shortages in excess of 20%, San Francisco shall (a) follow the Tier 1 Shortage Plan
allocal';Jns up to the 20% reduction, (b) meet and discuss how to implement incremental
reduct' ns above 20% with the Wholesale Customers, and (c) make a final determination of
allocat ns above the 20% reduction. After the SFPUC has made the final allocation decision,
the Wt "Iesale Customers shall be free to challenge the allocation on any applicable legal or
equita'e basis.
4. San Francisco will use its best efforts to identify potential sources of dry
year 'Iv ter supplies and establish the contractual and other means to access and deliver those
suppliE , in sufficient quantity to meet a goal of not more than 20 percent system-wide shortage
in any~ar of the design drought.
5. San Francisco will cooperate with BAWSCA to improve water supply
reliability. As an example of such cooperation, San Francisco may invite a representative of
BA WSCA to attend and participate in meetings with thi rd parties for development of dry year
water supplies. If San Francisco does not invite a BAWSCA representative to attend a specific
scheduled meeting, it will promptly (within 30 days of any such meeting) provide BAWSCA with
a written or oral report on the meeting, including any decisions reached at it, as well as
information about planned subsequent meetings. Progress in securing dry year water supplies
will be reported to the SFPUC and the BA WSCA board of directors during the first quarter of
each calendar year.
3.12 Wheeling of Water from Outside SFPUC System
Subject to the Wheeling Statute, the SFPUC will not deny use of Regional Water System
unused capacity for wheeling when such capacity is available for wheeling purposes during
-18-1840795.8
periods when the SFPUC has declared a water shortage emergency under Water Code Section
350 if the following conditions are met:
A. The transferor pays reasonable charges incurred by the SFPUC as a result of the
wheeling, including capital, operation, maintenance, administrative and replacement costs (as
such are defined in the Wheeling Statute).
B. Wheeled water that is stored in the Regional Water System spills first.
C. Wheeled water will not unreasonably: (1) impact fish and wildlife resources in
Regional Water System reservoirs; (2) diminish the quality of water delivered for consumptive
uses; or (3) increase the risk of exotic species impairing Regional Water System operations.
The transferor may at its own expense provide for treatment to mitigate these effects.
D. Priority will be given to wheeling by Wholesale Customers or BAWSCA over
arrangements for third-party public entities.
3.13 Limits on New Customers
A. New Wholesale Customers Prior to December 31,2018. Until December 31,
2018, San Francisco will not enter into contracts to supply water to any entity other than a
Wholesale Customer (whether permanent or temporary, firm or interruptible) unless:
1. It completes any necessary environmental review under CEQA of the
proposed new wholesale water service obligations as provided in Section 4.07;
2. It concurrently completes any necessary environmental review under
CEQA as provided in Section 4,07 and commits to make both San Jose and Santa Clara
permanent customers with Individual Supply Guarantees equal to at least 9 MGD; and
3, This Agreement is amended to incorporate any commitments to proposed
new wholesale customers and to San Jose and Santa Clara, and to address the effects, if any,
of the new customer(s) on water supply reliability, water quality and cost to existing customers
of the Regional Water System,
B. New Wholesale Customers After December 31,2018. As of January 1, 2019,
San Francisco will not enter into contracts to supply water to any entity other than a Wholesale
Customer (whether permanent or temporary, firm or interruptible) unless:
-19-1840795,8
1. It completes any necessary environmental review under CEQA of the
proposed new wholesale water service obligations as provided in Section 4.07;
2. It concurrently completes any necessary environmental review under
CEQA as provided in Section 4.07 and commits to make both San Jose and Santa Clara
permanent customers with Individual Supply Guarantees equal to at least 9 MGD;
3. Doing so increases the reliability of the Regional Water System; and
4. This Agreement is concurrently amended (a) to reflect that increased
reliability by means of an increased commitment by San Francisco to deliver water during
Droughts and (b) to address the effects, if any, of the new customer(s) on water supply, water
quality and cost to existing customers of the Regional Water System.
C. New RetaiJ Customers. San Francisco may enter into new retail water service
obligations outside of the City and County of San Francisco:
1. Only in Alameda, San Mateo, Santa Clara, San Joaquin and Tuolumne
Counties;
2. That are within or immediately adjacent to areas in which it currently
serves other Retail Customers; and
3. Until the aggregate additional demand represented by the new retail
customers reaches 0.5 MGD.
The limitations on serving new Retail Customers described in this subsection do not
apply to historical obligations to supply water that may be contained in prior agreements
between the SFPUC or its predecessor the Spring Valley Water Company, and individual users
or property owners located adjacent to Regional Water System transmission pipelines.
D. Water Exchanges and Cost Sharing Ag reements with Other Water
Suppliers. Subject to completion of necessary environmental review under CEQA, San
Francisco may at any time enter inl0 water exchanges or cost sharing agreements with other
water suppliers to enhance dry year or normal year water deliveries, provided that San
Francisco cannot incur new water service obligations to such other water suppliers unless the
requirements for taking on new wholesale customers in subsections A and B above are met.
-20-18407958
3.14 Measurement of Water
A The parties recognize that continuous and accurate measurement of water
deliveries to and from the Regional Water System and maintenance of complete and accurate
records of those measurements is necessary (1) for the costs of the Regional Water System to
be allocated in accordance with this Agreement, (2) for implementation of other provisions of
this Agreement, and (3) for effective operation and maintenance of a water system serving a
large urbanized region.
8. It is the responsibility of the SFPUC to obtain and record these measurements.
To do so, the SFPUC shall install, maintain and operate measuring and recording equipment at
the following locations: (1) inputs to the Regional Water System from aI/ water sources ("System
Input Meters"), (2) internal flow meters to support operation of the Regional Water System ("In-
Une Meters"), (3) deliveries to the City at the San Francisco-San Mateo County line ("County-
Line Meters") and to three reservoirs in San Francisco ("In-City Terminal Reservoir Meters"),
(4) deliveries to SFPUC Retail Customers located outside the boundaries of the City, and
(5) deliveries to the Wholesale Customers, as described and illustrated in Attachment J.
C. The SFPUC shall inspect, test, service, and calibrate the measuring and
recording equipment installed at the locations described in subsection 8 and will repair or
replace them when necessary, in order to ensure that their accuracy is consistent with
specifications provided in Attachment J.
D. The SFPUC shall continue to contract with a qualified independent metering
consultant to perform periodic inspection, testing, servicing and calibration of the County-Line
Meters, the In-City Terminal Reservoir Meters, and the System Input and In-Line Meters
described in Attachment J, as well as the portion of the SFPUC's Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA) system that utilizes the flow signals produced by that measuring and
recording equipment. The method, schedule and frequency for calibration and maintenance of
the County-Une Meters and the In-City Terminal Reservoir Meters are specified in
Attachment J. The SFPUC shall provide copies of the metering consultant's reports to
BAWSCA
E. System Input Meters measure water deliveries into the Regional Water System
from sources such as Hetch Hetchy and the SFPUC's water treatment plants. System Input
Meters also measure deliveries from the Regional Water System to outside sources or from
-21-1840795.8
such sources to the Regional Water System through interties with the Santa Clara Valley Water
District and the East Bay Municipal Utility District. In-Line Meters measure internal system flows
and are located on the Bay Division Pipelines and other main transmission pipelines. These
meters are collectively referred to as the "System Input and In-line Meters." Similar to the
County-Line Meters, the System Input and In-Line Meters have secondary metering equipment,
such as differential pressure transmitters and flow recorders. The System Input and In-Line
Meters, and all associated secondary metering equipment, shall be calibrated and maintained
according to the method, schedule, and frequency specified in the Procedures Manual
described in subsection G, below.
F. The locations of the smaller and more numerous meters described in subsection
B (4) and (5) are not illustrated in Attachment J; however, they are also critical in the
determination of cost allocations, and accordingly require continued maintenance and
calibration. It is the responsibility of the SFPUC to maintain the accuracy of these meters and
their secondary metering equipment.
G. The SFPUC will prepare a Procedures Manual which will describe in detail the
procedures for periodic inspection, testing, servicing and calibration of the measuring and
recording equipment described in subsection B. Once the Procedures Manual is completed, the
SFPUC and BAWSCA may agree that it should supersede some or all of the requirements in
Attachment J regarding the County-Line and the In-City Terminal Reservoir Meters. Unless and
until such an agreement is reached and documented, however, the requirements in
Attachment J, Section D will continue in force as minimum standards for meter maintenance
and calibration of the County-Line and In-City Terminal Reservoir Meters (subject to
modification under the circumstances described in Attachment J, Section A.4).
H. If BAWSCA and tile SFPUC are unable to agree on the water use calculations
required by Attachment J for a particular year, the Wholesale Customers may file a demand for
arbitration challenging the SFPUC's determination of the Wholesale Revenue Requirement for
that year on the basis of its reliance on disputed water use calculations. Such a challenge must
be brought in the manner and within the time specified in Section 8.01.
3.15 New Sources of Water Supply to Maintain Supply Assurance
A. Urgent Reductions of Existing Surface Water Supplies. Sudden and
unanticipated events may require San Francisco to act promptly to protect the health, safety and
-22-1840795&
economic well-being of its Retail and Wholesale Customers. Such sudden events include, but
are not limited to drought, earthquakes, terrorist acts, catastrophic failures of facilities owned
and operated by San Francisco, and other natural or man-made events. If such events diminish
San Francisco's ability to maintain the Supply Assurance, San Francisco may increase the
Wholesale Revenue Requirement to pay for planning, evaluation and implementation of
replacement sources of supply when such needs arise and without the prior approval of the
Wholesale Customers. San Francisco will keep the Wholesale Customers informed of actions
being taken under this subsection, progress made, and contingency actions the Wholesale
Customers may need to consider taking. To the extent appropriate and applicable, San
Francisco will act in accordance with Section 3.11 and the ERRP. Nothing in this subsection
limits San Francisco's obligations under Section 3.11 to pursue additional sources of supply to
augment supplies available during drought.
B. Non-Urgent Reductions of Existing Surface Water Supplies. Climate
change, regulatory actions and other events may impact San Francisco's ability to maintain the
Supply Assurance from its existing surface water supplies, but on timescales long enough to
permit San Francisco to collaborate with its Wholesale Customers on how best to address
possible impacts to water supply. If such events diminish San Francisco's ability to maintain the
Supply Assurance, San Francisco may increase the Wholesale Revenue Requirement to pay
for planning, evaluation and implementation of replacement sources of supply when such needs
arise and without the prior approval of the Wholesale Customers. San Francisco will keep the
Wholesale Customers informed of actions being taken under this subsection, progress made,
and contingency actions the Wholesale Customers may need to consider taking. San Francisco
will solicit input and recommendations from BAWSCA and the Wholesale Customers, and take
those recommendations into consideration. Prior to Commission approval of plans or taking
other actions that would impact the Wholesale Revenue Requirement, San Francisco will hold a
public hearing to receive written and oral comments. Nothing in this subsection modifies San
Francisco's obligation to maintain the ability to provide the Supply Assurance under this
Agreement.
3.16 New Sources of Water Suppll( to Increase Suppll( Assurance
A. Surface Water Supplies From Existing Watersheds After 2018. The
Commission action in SFPUC Resolution Number 08-0200, adopted October 30, 2008 requires
certain decisions by San Francisco regarding whether to supply more than 265 MGD from its
-23-1840795.8
watersheds following 2018. Such decisions are to be made by December 31, 2018, subject to
the exercise of San Francisco's retained CEQA discretion in Section 4.07. San Francisco's
future decisions may include an offer to increase the Supply Assurance at the request of some
or all of its Wholesale Customers. Costs associated with providing additional water from its
eXisting water supplies in San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda, Tuolumne, and Stanislaus
Counties shall be allocated to Wholesale and Retail Customers as described in Article 5.
B. New Water Supplies. If San Francisco seeks to develop additional water
supplies from new sources to increase the Supply Assurance available to Wholesale
Customers, studies and resulting water supply projects will be conducted jointly with BAWSCA
under separate agreement(s) specifying the purpose of the projects, the anticipated regional
benefits and how costs of studies and implementation will be allocated and charged. Nothing in
this Agreement shall seNe as precedent for the allocation of such new supply capital costs
between Retail and Wholesale Customers or associated operational expenses, which shall only
occur following approval of both parties and amendment of this Agreement, if necessary, under
Section 2.03.
3.17 Westside Basin Conjunctive Use Program
Subject to completion of necessary CEQA review as provided in Section 4.07, the
SFPUC may enter into an agreement with the cities of Daly City and San Bruno and the
California Water SeNice Company, South San Francisco SeNice Area ("Participating
Pumpers") governing the operation of tile South Westside Basin Conjunctive Use Program
("Program"), a WSIP Project. The Program would produce Regional benefits for all customers
of the Regional Water System by making use of available groundwater storage capacity in the
Southern portion of the Westside Basin through the supply of additional surface water ("In Lieu
Water") to the Paliicipating Pumpers from the Regional Water System, in exchange for a
corresponding reduction in groundwater pumping at existing wells owned by the Participating
Pumpers. The new groundwater supply that would accrue to storage as a result of delivery of In
Lieu Water would then be recovered from the SFPUC basin storage account during water
shortages using new SFPUC Regional Program wells operated by the Participating Pumpers
and the SFPUC. Program ailnual operations and maintenance expenses and water supplies
are expected to be allocated as follows:
-24-1840795.8
A. All In Lieu Water delivered to the Participating Pumpers shall be (1) temporary
and interruptible in nature and (2) at the sole discretion of the SFPUC based on the total volume
of water available to the Regional Water System.
B. Allin Lieu Water delivered to the Participating Pumpers shall be considered a
delivery of water to storage and shall not be construed to affect or increase the Individual
Supply Guarantees of these wholesale customers or to otherwise entitle them to any claim of
water in excess of their Individual Supply Guarantees or their Interim Supply Allocations.
Furthermore, Environmental Enhancement Surcharges authorized under Section 4.04 will not
be applied by the SFPUC to any quantity of In Lieu Water that is delivered to the Participating
Pumpers, but will instead be based solely on Participating Pumper water deliveries in excess of
their respective Interim Supply Allocations.
C. Any operation and maintenance expenses incurred by the Participating Pumpers
and the SFPUC that are related to the operation of Regional Program wells and related assets
shall be included as Regional pumping expenses under Section 5.05.B and included as part of
the Wholesale Revenue Requirement For rate setting purposes, estimated Regional Program
operation and maintenance expenses shall be used as set forth in Section 6.01. Operation and
maintenance expenses associated with the Participating Pumpers' existing wells that do not
provide Regional benefits shall not be included in the Wholesale Revenue Requirement. On a
case-by-case basis, the SFPUC may include Participating Pumper existing well operation and
maintenance expenses in the Wholesale Revenue Requirement provided that such expenses
(1) are solely attributable to Regional Program operations and (2) are not caused by the
Participating Pumper's failure to operate and maintain its existing wells in a reasonable and
prudent manner consistent with water utility industry standards.
D. The SFPUC will audit operation and maintenance expenses submitted by the
Participating Pumpers for reimbursement to confirm that such costs were incurred as a result of
operating Regional Program wells and related assets. Costs associated with the use of
Program facilities for Direct Retail or Direct Wholesale purposes, or that do not otherwise
provide Regional benefits, shelll not be included in the Wholesale Revenue Requirement The
SFPUC is responsible for resolving disputes with the Participating Pumpers concerning expense
allocations. Program expense documentation, including documentation of negotiation and
settlement of disputed costs, will be available for review during the Compliance Audit described
-25-1840795.8
in Section 7.04. The Wholesale Customers may dispute the SFPUC's resolution of expense
allocations through the arbitration provisions in Section 8.01 of this Agreement
E. The SFPUC may direct the Participating Pumpers to recover water from the
SFPUC basin storage account for any type of shortage referenced in Section 3.11. Water
recovered from the SFPUC basin storage account using Regional Program wells may be used
for (1) the benefit of all Regional Water System customers; (2) Retail Customers; or (3) one or
more of the Participating Pumpers. The Wholesale Revenue Requirement shall only include
operation and maintenance expenses incurred due to the operation of Program wells for
Regional benefits.
F. All water recovered from the SFPUC basin storage account by the Participating
Pumpers and by the SFPUC for delivery to Retail Customers during Shortages caused by
Drought shall be used to free up a comparable volume of surface water from the Regional
Water System for allocation in accordance with the Tier 1 Shortage Plan.
G. If the Program is terminated for any reason, including breach of the Program
agreement by the Participating Pumpers or SFPUC, or due to regulatory action or legal action,
then
1. Any water remaining SFPUC Regional storage account shall be used for
the benefit of all customers of the Regional Water System;
2. Outstanding eligible operation and maintenance expenses, including
costs incurred during recovery of remaining stored water, will be allocated as provided in this
section; and
3. The Wholesale Customers will be credited with their share of proceeds
from disposition of Program facilities or reimbursed their share of such capital costs for any
Program facilities which are retained by the SFPUC for Direct Retail benefit and not used for the
benefit of the Wholesale Customers, on the basis of (a) original cost less depreciation and
outstanding related Indebtedness or (b) original cost less accumulated depreciation for revenue
funded Regional ~Jrogram facilities.
-26-1840795.8
Article 4. Implementation of Interim Supply Limitation.
4.01 Interim Supply Limitation Imposed by SFPUC
In adopting the WSIP in Res. No. 08-0200, the Commission included full implementation
of all proposed WSIP capital improvement projects to achieve level of service goals relating to
public health, seismic safety, and delivery reliability, but decided to adopt a water supply
element that includes the Interim Supply Limitation. This article describes how the parties will
implement the Interim Supply Limitation imposed by the SFPUC between the Effective Date and
December 31,2018.
4.02 Retail and Wholesale Customer Allocations Under Interim Supply Limitation
The Interim Supply Limitation is allocated as follows between Retail and Wholesale
Customers:
Retail Customers' allocation:
Wholesale Customers' alJocation:
81 MGD
184 MGD
The Wholesale Customers' collective allocation of 184 MGD under the Interim Supply
Limitation includes the demand of the cities of San Jose and Santa Clara, whose demand is not
included in the Supply Assurance, as provided in Section 3.02.8. By December 31st, 2010, the
Commission will establish each Wholesale Customer's Interim Supply Allocation at a public
meeting.
4.03 Transfers of Interim Supply Allocations
A. Any Wholesale Customer, including Hayward, may transfer a portion of its
Interim Supply Allocation to one or more other Wholesale Customers, as provided in this
section. All Wholesale Customers are also eligible transferees, including California Water
Service Company up to its Individual Supply Guarantee.
B. Transfers of a portion of an Interim Supply Allocation must be prospective. The
duration of a transfer cannot be less than the balance of the fiscal year. The minimum quantity
that may be transferred is 1/10th of a MGD.
C. Transfers of portions of Interim Supply Allocations are subject to approval by the
SFPUC. SFPUC review is limited to determining (1) whether a proposed transfer complies with
-27-1840795.8
the Act, and (2) whether the affected facilities in the Regional Water System have sufficient
capacity to accommodate delivery of the increased amount of water to the proposed transferee.
D. The participants in a proposed transfer shall provide notice to the SFPUC
specifying the amount of the Interim Supply Allocation proposed to be transferred and the
proposed effective date of the transfer, which shall not be less than 60 days after the notice is
submitted to the SFPUC. The SFPUC may require additional information reasonably necessary
to evaluate the operational impacts of the transfer. The SFPUC will not unreasonably withhold
or delay its approval; if the SFPUC does not act on the notice within 60 days, the transfer will be
deemed to have been approved.
E. Within 30 days after the transfer has become effective, both the transferor and
the transferee will provide written notice to the SFPUC and BAWSCA.
F. Transfers of Interim Supply Allocations shall continue in effect until the earlier of
(1) delivery of written notice to the SFPUC by the transfer partiCipants that the transfer has been
rescinded or (2) December 31, 2018.
4.04 Environmental Enhancement Surcharge
A. Establishment of Environmental Enhancement Surcharge. Beginning with
wholesale water rates for fiscal year 2011-2012, and continuing for the duration of the Interim
Supply Limitation, the Commission will establish the Environmental Enhancement Surcharge
concurrently with the budget-coordinated rate process set forth in Article 6 of this Agreement.
The monetary amount of the Environmental Enhancement Surcharge per volume of water, such
as dollars per acre-foot, will be equivalent for Retail Customer use in excess of 81 MGD and
Wholesale Customer USG in excess of 184 MGD. The Environmental Enhancement Surcharge
will be simple to calculate so that Wholesale Customers can estimate potential surcharges for
budgeting purposes and establish retail rates within their service areas.
B. Application of Environmental Enhancement Surcharge. Beginning in fiscal
year 2011·12, the Environmental Enhancement Surcharge will be levied only if and when
combined Retail Customer and Wholesale Customer purchases exceed the Interim Supply
Limitation of 265 MGD and if the fund described in subsection D below has been established by
the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. In that event. the Environmental Enhancement
Surcharge will apply to Retail Customers for use in excess of 81 MGD and to individual
-28-1840795.8
Wholesale Customers for use in excess of their Interim Supply Allocations established by the
Commission pursuant to Section 4.02.
1. Environmental Enhancement Surcharges related to the Retail Customers'
use in excess of their 81 MGD Retail Customer Allocation will be paid by the SFPUC, and no
portion of such surcharges may be allocated to Wholesale Customers. The method of
recovering the Environmental Enhancement Surcharges imposed upon Retail Customers shall
be within the sole discretion of the SFPUC.
2. Environmental Enhancement Surcharges related to the individual
Wholesale Customers' use in excess of their respective Interim Supply Allocations will be paid
to the SFPUC by individual Wholesale Customers.
C. Collection of Environmental Enhancement Surcharge. Notwithstanding the
budget-coordinated rate setting process contemplated in Article 6 of this Agreement, the
Environmental Enhancement Surcharge for any given year will be determined retrospectively
based on actual annual usage during the fiscal year in excess of the Interim Supply Allocation
and paid in equal monthly installments over the remainder of the immediately following fiscal
year.
D. Establishment of Fund for Environmental Enhancement Surcharge
Proceeds. Environmental Enhancement Surcharges paid by the SFPUC and by Wholesale
Customers will be placed into a restricted reserve fund. The SFPUC will request the San
Francisco Board of Supervisors to establish this fund by ordinance and, if adopted, the fund will
be subject to the following restrictions:
1. Interest earnings will stay in the reserve fund.
2. The reserve fund shall (a) be subject to automatic appropriation; (b)
require unexpended and unencumbered fund balances to be carried forward from year to year;
and (c) not be transferred to the San Francisco General Fund.
3. The reserve fund may be used only for specific environmental restoration
and enhancement measures for the Sierra and local watersheds, such 8S those included in the
Watershed Environmental Improvement Program.
4. Environmental Enhancement Surcharge proceeds shall be expended in
an expeditious manner. Any Environmental Enhancement Surcharge proceeds that remain in
-29-1840795.8
the reserve fund as of December 31, 2018 shall be used to cOfTIplete projects previously
approved under subsection E. Upon completion of the identified projects, the balance of any
unexpended sums in the reserve fund shall be distributed to BAWSCA and the SFPUC in
proportion to the total amount of surcharges assessed to the Wholesale and Retail Customers,
respectively.
E. Use of Environmental Enhancement Surcharge Proceeds. Specific uses of
Environmental Enhancement Surcharges will be decided by the SFPUC and BAWSCA General
Managers following input from environmental stakeholders and other interested members of the
public. If parties are unable to agree, then they will jointly select a third person to participate in
making the decision.
4.05 San Josel Santa Clara Interim Supply Allocation and Process for Reductionl
Termination.
San Francisco will supply a combined annual average of 9 MGD to the cities of San.
Jose and Santa Clara through 2018. Water supplied by San Francisco may only be used in the
existing defined service areas in the northern portions of San Jose and Santa Clara shown on
Attachment Q. San Francisco may reduce the quantity of water specified in this section when it
establishes the Interim Supply Allocations for Wholesale Customers in Section 4.02. The
establishment of Interim Supply Allocations for San Jose and Santa Clara shall not be
considered a reduction of supply within the meaning of this section, provided that the Interim
Supply Allocations assigned to San Jose and Santa Clara do not effect a reduction greater than
the aggregate average reduction in Individual Supply Guarantees for Wholesale Customers that
have such guarantees. The application of Interim Supply Allocations to San Jose and Santa
Clara is subject to the following provisions:
A. In December 2010 and in each December thereafter through 2017, the SFPUC
shall prepare and the Commission shall consider, at a regularly scheduled public meeting, a
Water Supply DevelopfTIent Report detailing progress made toward meeting the Interim Supply
Limitation by June 30, 2018.
B. The annual Water Supply Development Report silall be based on water purchase
projections and work plans for achieving the Interim Supply Limitation in the Retail and
Wholesale Service Areas. The projections and work plans will be prepared by the SFPUC for
-30-1840795.8
the Retail Customers and by BAWSCA for the Wholesale Customers, respectively, and
submitted to the Commission in June of each year beginning in 2010.
C. If the Commission finds that the projections in the Water Supply Development
Report show that the Interim Supply Limitation will not be met by June 30,2018, as a result of
Wholesale Customers' projected use exceeding 184 MGD, the Commission may issue a
conditional five-year notice of interruption or reduction in supply of water to San Jose and Santa
Clara.
D. Upon issuance of the conditional notice of interruption or reduction, the SFPUC
will prepare a new analysis of water supply that will be utilized by the San Francisco Planning
Department in its preparation of any necessary documentation under CEQA pursuant to
Section 4.07 on the impacts of interrupting or reducing service to San Jose and Santa Clara.
E. Such notice of interruption or reduction will be rescinded if the Commission finds,
based upon a subsequent annual Water Supply Development Report, that sufficient progress
has been made toward meeting the Interim Supply Limitation or projections show that the
Interim Supply Limitation will be met by June 30, 2018.
F. In no case shall any interruption or reduction of service to San Jose or Santa
Clara pursuant to this section become effective less than two years from the completion of the
CEQA process (not including resolution of any appeals or litigation) or five years from the
notice, whichever is longer. If the five-year notice is issued after 2013, such interruption or
reduction would occur after 2018.
G. If deliveries to San Jose and Santa Clara are interrupted, eXisting turnout
facilities to San Jose and Santa Clara will remain in place for possible use during emergencies.
H. San Francisco and the cities of San Jose and Santa Clara will cooperate with
BAWSCA and the Santa Clara Valley Water District in the identification and implementation of
additional water sources and conservation measures for the cities' service areas that are
relevant to the water supply and the possible offer of permanent status for the two cities by the
SFPUC.
4.06 San Francisco Decisions in 2018 Regarding Future Water Supply
A. By December 31,2018, San Francisco will have completed any necessary
CEQA review pursuant to Section 4.07 that is relevant to making San Jose and Santa Clara
-31-1840795.8
permanent customers of the Regional Water System and will decide whether or not to make
San Jose and Santa Clara permanent customers of the Regional Water System. San Francisco
will make San Jose and Santa Clara permanent customers only if, and to the extent that, San
Francisco determines that Regional Water System long term water supplies are available. In
the event that San Francisco decides to afford permanent status to San Jose and Santa Clara,
this Agreement will be amended pursuant to Section 2.03.
B. By December 31,2018, San Francisco will have completed any necessary
CEQA review pursuant to Section 4.07 and will decide how much water if any, in excess of the
Supply Assurance it will supply to Wholesale Customers from the Regional Water System to
meet their projected future water demands until the year 2030, and whether to offer a
corresponding increase in the Supply Assurance as a result of its determination.
4.07 Retained Discretion of SFPUC and Wholesale Customers
A. This Agreement contemplates discretionary actions that the SFPUC and the
Wholesale Customers may choose to take in the future that could result in physical changes to
the environment ("Discretionary Actions"). The Discretionary Actions include decisions to:
1. Develop additional or alternate water resources by the SFPUC or one or
more Wholesale Customers;
2. I mplement the physical faCilities comprising the WSI P by December 31,
2015;
3. Approve wheeling proposals by Wholesale Customers;
4. Approve new wholesale customers and water exchange or cost sharing
agreements with other water suppliers;
5. Provide additional water to San Jose and/or Santa Clara;
6. Offer permanent status to San Jose and/or Santa Clara;
7. Reduce or terminate supply to San Jose and/or Santa Clara;
8. Provide additional water to Wholesale Customers in excess of the Supply
Assurance to meet their projected future water demands; and
-32-1840795.8
9. Offer a corresponding volumetric increase in the Supply Assurance.
The Discretionary Actions may require the SFPUC or Wholesale Customers to prepare
environmental documents in accordance with CEQA prior to the SFPUC or the Wholesale
Customers determining whether to proceed with any of the Discretionary Actions. Accordingly,
and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement
commits the SFPUC or the Wholesale Customers to approve or carry out any Discretionary
Actions that are subject to CEQA Furthermore, the SFPUC's or Wholesale Customers'
decisions to approve any of these Discretionary Actions are subject to the requirement that San
Francisco and each Wholesale Customer, as either a "Lead Agency" (as defined in Section
21067 of CEQA and Section 15367 of the CEQA Guidelines) or a "Responsible Agency" (as
defined in Section 21069 of CEQA and Section 15381 of the CEQA Guidelines) shall have
completed any CEQA-required environmental review prior to approving a proposed
Discretionary Action.
B. In considering any proposed Discretionary Actions, the SFPUC and Wholesale
Customers retain absolute discretion to: (1) make such modifications to any of the proposed
Discretionary Actions as may be necessary to mitigate significant environmental impacts;
(2) select feasible alternatives to the proposed Discretionary Actions that avoid significant
adverse impacts; (3) require the implementation of specific measures to mitigate the Significant
adverse environmental impacts as part of the decision to approve the Discretionary Actions;
(4) balance the benefits of the proposed Discretionary Actions against any significant
environmental impacts before taking final actions to approve the proposed Discretionary Actions
if such significant impacts cannot otherwise be avoided; or (5) determine not to proceed with the
proposed Discretionary Actions.
-33-1840795.8
Article 5. Wholesale Revenue Requirement
5.01 Scope of Agreement
This Article shalf be applicable only to the water rates charged by San Francisco to the
Wholesale Customers. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit, constrain, or in any way
affect the rates which San Francisco may charge for water sold to Retail Customers or the
methodology by which such rates are determined.
5.02 General Principles
This Article sets forth the method by which the Wholesale Customers' collective share of
expenses incurred by the SFPUC in delivering water to them will be determined. This collective
share is defined as the "Wholesale Revenue Requirement."
A. The SFPUC currently operates several enterprises, including the Water
Enterprise, the Wastewater Enterprise, and the Hetch Hetchy Enterprise.
B. The Wastewater Enterprise is responsible for treating sewage within San
Francisco and provides no benefit to the Wholesale Customers.
C. The Hetch Hetchy Enterprise is responsible for storing and transmitting water to
the Water Enterprise, generating hydroelectric power and transmitting it to San Francisco,
generating electric power within San Francisco, and distributing electricity and steam heat within
San Francisco. Its water supply operations provide benefits to the Wholesale Customers.
D. The Water Enterprise delivers water to both Retail Customers, which are located
both within and outside San Francisco, and to the Wholesale Customers, all of which are
located outside San Francisco.
,
E. This Article implements two general principles as follows: (1) the Wholesale
Customers should not pay for expenses of SFPUC operations from which they receive no
benefit and (2) the Wholesale Customers should pay their share of expenses incurred by the
SFPUC in delivering water to them on the basis of Proportional Annual Use unless otherwise
explicitly provided in this Agreement.
F. To implement these general principles, the Wholesale Revenue Requirement Will
consist of, and be limited to, the Wholesale Customers' shares of the following categories of
expense:
-34-J 840795.8
1. Capital cost recovery of Water Enterprise Existing Assets, and Hetch
Hetchy Enterprise Existing Assets classified as Water-Only and the Water-Related portion of
Joint assets (Section 5.03)
2. Contribution to the capital cost of Water Enterprise New Regional Assets
(Section 5.04)
3. Water Enterprise operation and maintenance expenses, including power
purchased from the Hetch Hetchy Enterprise that is used in the operation of the Water
Enterprise (Section 5.05)
4. Water Enterprise administrative and general expenses (Section 5.06)
5. Water Enterprise property taxes (Section 5.07)
6. The Water Enterprise's share of the Hetch Hetchy Enterprise's operation
and maintenance, administrative and general, and property tax expenses (Section 5.08)
7. The Water Enterprise's share of the Hetch Hetchy Enterprise's capital
cost of New Assets classified as Water-Only and the Water-Related portion of Joint assets
(Section 5.09)
In each of these cost categories, Direct Retail Expenses will be allocated entirely to
Retail Customers. Direct Wholesale Expenses will be allocated entirely to the Wholesale
Customers. Regional Expenses will be allocated between Retail Customers and Wholesale
Customers as provided in this Article.
G. For purposes of establishing the rates to be charged VVholesale Customers,
expenses will be based on the budget for, and estimates of water purchases in, the following
fiscal year, as provided in Article 6. For purposes of accounting, the Wholesale Revenue
Requirement will be determined on the basis of actual expenses incurred and actual water use,
as provided in Article 7.
H. In addition, rates charged to Wholesale Customers may include the VVholesale
Customers' contribution to a Wholesale Revenue Coverage Reserve, as provided in Section
6.06, which is not included in the VVholesale Revenue Requirement itself.
-35-1840795.8
5.03 Capital Cost Recovery· Existing Regional Assets
A. SFPUC has previously advanced funds to acquire or construct Existing Assets
used and useful in the delivery of water to both Wholesale Customers and Retail Customers.
The parties estimate that the Wholesale Customers' share of the net book value of these
assets, as of the expiration of the 1984 Agreement on June 30, 2009, will be approximately
$366,734,424, as shown on Attachment K-1.
B. In addition, SFPUC has also previously advanced funds received from Retail
Customer revenues to acquire or construct assets included in Construction-Work-In-Progress
(CWIP) as of June 30, 2009, The parties estimate that the Wholesale Customers' share of the
book value of these revenue funded capital expenditures, as of the expiration of the 1984
Agreement on June 30,2009, will be approximately $15,594,990, as shown on Attachment K-2,
The Wholesale Customers shall pay their share of the cost of Existing Assets and revenue-
funded CWIP by amortizing the amounts shown on Attachment K-1 and Attachment K-2 over 25
years at an interest rate of 5, 13 percent. The amounts to be included in the Wholesale
Revenue Requirement pursuant to this section shall be the sum of the annual principal and
interest amounts shown on Attachments K-3 (for Water Enterprise Regional Assets and the one
Direct Wholesale Asset) and K-4 (for Hetch Hetchy Enterprise Water-Only Assets and the
Water-Related portion [45 percent] of Joint assets) calculated on the basis of monthly
amortization of principal as set forth on Attachments K-3 and K-4,
C. In addition, the Commission has previously appropriated funds, advanced
through rates charged to Retail Customers, for construction of capital projects, Some of these
projects are active, and have unexpended balances of appropriated funds that are not included
in CWIP as of June 30, 2009, These projects, and the associated balances, are shown on
Attachment K-5. Expenditures of funds from these balances during FY 2009-10, FY 2010-11
and FY 2011-12 will be reviewed in FY 2012-13. The SFPUCwil1 prepare a report showing the
amount expended in each year on each project and the total expended during all years on all
projects that are categorized as Regional or, in the case of Hetch Hetchy Enterprise, are
categorized as either Water-Only or Joint. The wholesale share of that total will be determined
using the allocation principles in this Agreement based on Proportional Water Use during those
three years. The result, plus accrued interest at the rate specified in Section 6,05.8, will be
calculated by the S FPUC and its calculation reviewed by the Compliance Auditor as part of the
Compliance Audit for FY 2012-13, The audited total win be paid based on a schedule of level
annual principal and interest amounts over ten years at an interest rate of 4.00%, calculated on
-36-
a monthly amortization basis. Allor any portion of the balance maybe prepaid. The first year's
payment will be included in the Wholesale Revenue Requirement for FY 2014-15.
D. The parties agree that the Wholesale Customers' share of the net book values of
Existing Regional Assets as of June 30, 2008 as shown on Attachment K-1 are accurate. The
compliance audit conducted on the calculation of the FY 2008-09 Suburban Revenue
Requirement required by the 1984 Agreement will determine the actual amounts of depreciation
on, and capital additions to, plant in service during that fiscal year. Those amounts will be
compared to the corresponding estimates shown on Attachments K-1 and K-2. The differences
will be added to or subtracted from the estimated asset values shown on Attachments K-1 and
K-2 and the amortization schedules in Attachments K·3 and KA will be recalculated. The
wholesale allocation factors shall be fixed at 70.1 % for the Water Enterprise Existing Assets and
64.2% for Hetch Hetchy Enterprise Existing Assets for both the preliminary and final payment
schedules. The SFPUC will prepare and provide to the Wholesale Customers revised
Attachments K-1 through K-4 based on the Wholesale Customers' share of the net book value
of the assets placed in service as of June 30, 2009 used to provide water service to the
Wholesale Customers and the net book value of revenue-funded CWIP expended as of June
30,2009. The revised Attachments K-1 through K-4 shall be approved by the General Manager
of the SFPUC and the General Manager/CEO of BAWSCA and will be substituted for the
original Attachments K-1 through K-4.
E. The original Attachments K-1 through KA, based on estimates, shall be used for
estimating the Wholesale Revenue Requirement for the fiscal year beginning July 1,2009. The
revised Attachments, based on audited actuals, shall be used to determine the actual
Wholesale Revenue Requirement for FY 2009-10 and to determine the Wholesale Revenue
Requirement(s) in all subsequent years, except as may be provided elsewhere in this
Agreement.
F. The Wholesale Customers, acting through BAWSCA, may prepay the remaining
unpaid Existing Assets principal balance, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty or early
payment premium. Any prepayments will be applied in the month immediately following the
month in which the prepayment is made and the revised monthly amounl(s) will be used to
calculate the Wholesale Revenue Requirement. Any partial prepayments must be in an amount
at least equal to $10 million. In the event of a partial prepayment, an updated schedule for the
remaining payments shall be prepared reflecting the unpaid balance after prepayment,
-37-1840795.8
amortized through the end of FY 2034, calculated as provided in this section. The updated
schedule, approved by the General Manager of the SFPUC and the General Manager/CEO of
BA WSCA, will be substituted for Attachment K-3 and/or Attachment K-4.
5.04 Capital Cost Contribution -New Regional Assets
A. Debt-Funded Capital Additions. The Wholesale Customers shall pay the
wholesale share of Net Annual Debt Service for New Regional Assets. The Regional projects in
the WSIP are identified in Attachment L-1.
1. The amount of Net Annual Debt Service for New Regional Assets will be
determined for each series of Indebtedness issued. Until the proceeds of a particular series are
Substantially Expended, the amount attributable to specific projects will be based on the
expe,.~ted use of proceeds shown in the "Certificate Regarding Use of Proceeds" executed by
the S=PUC General Manager on behalf of the Commission in connection with the sale of the
Indet:edness, provided such certificate identifies the use of proceeds at a level of detail
equivllent to that shown on Attachment L-2, which is a copy of the certificate prepared for the
2006 Revenue Bonds, Series A. If a certificate does not identify the use of proceeds at that
level of detail, the SFPUC General Manager shall prepare and execute a separate certificate
whic): does identify the use of proceeds at the level of detail shown on Attachment L-2 and
deliver it to BAWSCA within 15 days from the closing of the sale of the Indebtedness.
2. After the proceeds of a series are Substantially Expended, the SFPUC
General Manager will prepare and execute a certificate showing the actual expenditure of
proceeds at a level of detail equivalent to the initial General Manager certificate. The resulting
allocation of Net Debt Service to New Regional Assets for a series of bonds will be used in the
fiscal year in which the proceeds have been Substantially Expended and thereafter. Differences
between the amount of Net Debt Service paid by Wholesale Customers prior to that year and
the amount of Net Debt Service that they should have paid during that time based on the actual
expenditure of proceeds will be taken into account in calculation of the balancing account for the
fiscal year in which the proceeds were Substantially Expended. The application of the
remaining proceeds shall be proportionate to the allocation of the Net Debt Service to New
Regional Assets.
3. The Wholesale Customers' share of Net Annual Debt Service for the New
Regional Assets that are categorized as Direct Wholesale will be 100 percent (None of the
-38-1840795.8
projects in the WSIP are categorized as Direct Wholesale.) The Wholesale Customers' share of
Net Annual Debt Service for all other New Regional Assets will be determined each year and
will be equal to the Wholesale Customers' Proportional Annual Use.
4. If Indebtedness is issued by the SFPUC to refund the 2006 Revenue
Bonds, Series A or to refund any other long-term Indebtedness issued after July 1, 2009, the
Net Annual Debt Service attributable to proceeds used for refunding will be allocated on the
same basis as the Indebtedness being refunded.
5. The SFPUC will prepare an annual report showing for each issue of
Indebtedness and through the most recently completed fiscal year: (1) net financing proceeds
available to pay project costs, (2) actual earnings on proceeds, (3) actual expenditures by
project. The report shall be substantially in the form of Attachment L-3 and shall be delivered to
BAWSCA on or before November 30 of each year, commencing November 2009.
6. In addition to Net Debt Service, Wholesale Customers will pay a
proportionate share of annual administrative costs associated with Indebtedness, such as bond
trustee fees, credit rating agency fees, letter of credit issuer fees, San Francisco Revenue Bond
Oversight Committee fees, etc., but only to the extent such fees are neither paid from proceeds
of Indebtedness nor included in SFPUC operation and maintenance or administrative and
general expenses.
B. Revenue-Funded Capital Additions. The Wholesale Customers shall pay the
wholesale share of the appropriation contained in the SFPUC annual budget for each year to be
used to acquire or construct New Regional Assets. If such appropriations are reimbursed from
proceeds of Indebtedness, the Wholesale Customers will be credited for prior payments made
under this Section 5.04.B.
The Wholesale Customers' share of the annual appropriation for revenue-funded New
Regional Assets that are categorized as Direct Wholesale will be 100 percent. (None of the
Repair and Replacement projects in the SFPUC's most recent capital improvement program
updated on February 10, 2009, is categorized as Direct Wholesale.) The Wholesale Customers'
share of the annual appropriation for all other revenue-funded New Regional Assets will be
determined each year and will be equal to the Wholesale Customers' Proportional Annual Use
in each fiscal year. The amount appropriated in each fiscal year for the wholesale share of New
-39-1840795.8
Regional Assets shall be contributed to the Wholesale Capital Fund described in Section 608
and reported on and administered as shown in that section and Attachments M-1 through M-3.
5.05 Water Enterprise Operation and Maintenance Expenses
There are five categories of Water Enterprise Operation and Maintenance Expenses,
described below:
A. Source of Supply
1. Description: This category consists of the costs of labor, supervision and
engineering; materials and supplies; and other expenses incurred in the operation and
maintenance of collecting and impounding reservoirs, dams, wells and other water supply
facilities located outside San Francisco; watershed protection; water supply planning; and the
purchase of water.
2. Allocation: Direct Retail expenses, including water supply planning for
Retail operations (such as City Retail water conservation programs), will be assigned to the
Retail Customers. Regional expenses will be allocated between Retail Customers and
Wholesale Customers on the basis of Proportional Annual Use. Direct Wholesale expenses will
be assigned to the Wholesale Customers. (As of the Effective Date there are no Direct
Wholesale expenses in the Source of Supply category.)
8. Pumping
1. Description: This category consists of the costs of labor, supervision and
engineering; materials and supplies; and other expenses incurred in the operation and
maintenance of water pumping plants, ancillary structures and equipment and surrounding
grounds; and fuel and power purchased for pumping water.
2. Allocation: Direct Retail expenses will be assigned to the Retail
Customers. Regional expenses will be allocated between Retail Customers and Wholesale
Customers on the basis of Proportional Annual Use. Direct Wholesale expenses will be
assigned to the Wholesale Customers. (As of the Effective Date there are no Direct Wholesale
expenses in the Pumping category.)
C. Treatment
1. Description: This category consists of the costs of labor, supervision and
engineering; materials and supplies and other expenses incurred in the operation and
-40-1840795.8
maintenance of water treatment plants and drinking water quality sampling and testing. The
cost of water quality testing will not include expenses incurred on behalf of the Wastewater
Enterprise. Any remaining costs, after adjusting for the Wastewater Enterprise, will be reduced
by the amount of revenue received for laboratory analyses of any type performed for agencies,
businesses and/or individuals other than the Water and Hetch Hetchy Enterprises.
2. Allocation: Direct Retail expenses will be assigned to the Retail
Customers. Regional expenses will be allocated between Retail Customers and Wholesale
Customers on the basis of Proportional Annual Use. Direct Wholesale expenses will be
assigned to the Wholesale Customers. (As of the Effective Date there are no Direct Wholesale
expenses in the Treatment category.)
D. Transmission and Distribution
1. Description: This category consists of the cost of labor, supervision and
engineering; materials and supplies; and other expenses incurred in the operation and
maintenance of transmission and distribution pipelines, appurtenances, meters (other than
those expenses payable by individual Wholesale Customers pursuant to Section 5.10.C.3),
distribution reservoirs storing treated water, craft shops and auto shops servicing vehicles used
for operation and maintenance of the Regional Water System rather than for Direct Retail
facilities, and miscellaneous facilities related to the transmission and distribution of water.
2. Allocation: Direct Retail Transmission and Distribution expenses will be
assigned to the Retail Customers. Regional TransmisSion and Distribution expenses will be
allocated between Retail and Wholesale Customers on the basis of Proportional Annual Use.
Expenses incurred for the operation and maintenance of three terminal reservoirs, Le., Sunset
Reservoir (North and South Basins), University Mound Reservoir (North and South Basins), and
Merced Manor Reservoir, as well as transmission pipelines delivering water to them, are
classified as Regional expenses notwithstanding the location of the reservoirs within San
Francisco. Direct Wholesale expenses will be assigned to the Wholesale Customers. (As of
the Effective Date the only Direct Wholesale expenses in the Transmission and Distribution
category are associated with the Palo Alto pipeline)
-41-1840795.8
E. Customer Services
1. Description: This category consists of labor; materials and supplies; and
other expenses incurred for meter reading, customer record keeping, and billing and collection
for the Water Enterprise.
2. Allocation: Customer Services expenses will be allocated among the
Water Enterprise, the Wastewater Enterprise, and Hetch Hetchy Enterprise in proportion to the
time spent by employees in Customer Services for each operating department/enterprise. The
Water Enterprise's share of Customer Services expense will be allocated 98 percent to the
Retail Customers and two percent to the Wholesale Customers, as illustrated on Attachment N-
2, Schedule 1.
5.06 Water Enterprise Administrative and General Expenses
Administrative and General expenses consist of the Water Enterprise's share of the cost
of general government distributed through the full-cost Countywide Cost Allocation Plan, the
services of SFPUC support bureaus, Water Enterprise administrative and general expenses that
cannot be directly assigned to a specific operating and maintenance category, and the cost of
the Compliance Audit. These four subcategories, and the method by which costs in each are to
be calculated and allocated, are as follows:
A. Countywide Cost Allocation Plan
1. Description: This subcategory consists of the Water Enterprise's share of
the costs of San Francisco general government and other City central service departments
which are not directly billed to the Water Enterprise or other operating departments. All San
Francisco operating departments are assigned a prorated share of these costs through the full-
cost Countywide Cost Allocation Plan (COWCAP) prepared annually by the San Francisco
Controller.
2. Allocation: The Water Enterprise's assigned share of central government
costs as shown in the annual full-cost COWCAP prepared by the San Francisco Controller, will
be allocated between Retail Customers and Wholesale Customers on the basis of the
composite percentage of the allocated expenses in the five categories of operation and
maintenance expense described in Section 5.05. The composite wholesale percentage shown
on Attachment N-2, Schedule 1 is 42.07 percent, derived by dividing the wholesale share of
-42-184-0795.8
Operation and Maintenance expenses ($46,573,883) by total Operation and Maintenance
expenses ($110,700,133).
8. Services of SFPUC Bureaus
1. Description: This subcategory consists of the support seNices provided
to the Water Enterprise by the SFPUC Bureaus, which presently consist of the General
Manager's Office, Business SeNices, External Affairs, and Infrastructure Bureau. Business
SeNices presently includes Financial SeNices, Information Technology SeNices, Human
Resource SeNices, Fleet Management, and Customer SeNices.
2. Allocation: There are three steps involved in determining the Wholesale
Customers' share of SFPUC Bureau costs.
a. Step One: Bureau expenses which have either been recovered
separately or which provide no benefit to Wholesale Customers will be excluded. Examples of
Bureau expenses recovered separately include (1) Customer SeNices expenses, which are
recovered as provided in Section 5.0S.E, and (2) Infrastructure expenses, which are aSSigned to
individual projects and capitalized. An example of a Bureau expense that provldes no benefit to
Wholesale Customers is Information Technology SeNices expenses for support of the San
Francisco Municipal Railway. In addition, the SFPUC will continue its practice of assigning City
Attorney Office expenses charged to the General Manager's Office for projects or lawsuits that
relate to only one enterprise directly to that enterprise. For example, costs related to a lawsuit
involving the Wastewater Enterprise will not be assigned to the Water Enterprise.
b. Step Two: Bureau expenses adjusted as provided in Step One
will be allocated among tile Water Enterprise, tile Wastewater Enterprise and tile Hetch Hetchy
Enterprise on the basis of the actual salaries of employees in each enterprise or department, as
illustrated on Attachment N-2, Schedule 7.
c. Step Three: The amount allocated to the Water Enterprise
through Step Two will be allocated between Retail Customers and Wholesale Customers on the
basis of Proportional Annual Use.

C. Water Enterprise Administrative and General
1. Description: This category includes expenses incurred by the Water
Enterprise that are not readily assignable to specific operating divisions. This category includes
the following expenses:
a. Water Administration: This includes the costs of labor and other
expenses of the administrative section of the Water Enterprise, supervision and engineering
expenses, professional services, travel and training, equipment purchases, and materials and
supplies not directly assignable to a specific operating unit.
b. Services Provided by Other City Departments: This includes
charges of other San Francisco departments directly billed to the Water Enterprise
administration by other San Francisco departments for services ordered by the Water
Enterprise, such as legal services, risk management, telecommunications, employee relations,
purchasing, mail services, and workers compensation claims paid.
c. Litigation and Claims Paid: This includes charges incurred for
attorney services and claims and judgments paid in litigation arising from the operation of the
Water Enterprise.
2. Allocation: In each of these three subcategories, expenses that benefit
only Retail Customers will be excluded. For example, the cost of claims and judgments
resulting from a break in or leak from pipelines or reservoirs in the Retail Service Area (with the
exception of the three terminal reservoirs and pipelines delivering water to them) will be
assigned to the Retail Customers. Remaining Water Enterprise Administrative and General
expenses will be allocated between Retail Customers and Wholesale Customers on the basis of
the composite percentage of allocated operation and maintenance expense categories
described in Section 5.05.
D. Compliance Audit. The cost of the Compliance Audit described in Section 7.04
will be assigned 50 percent to the Retail Customers and 50 percent to the Wholesale
Customers.

5.07 Water Enterprise Property Taxes
A. Description: This category consists of property taxes levied against property
owned by San Francisco located in Alameda, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties and used
and managed by the SFPUC.
B. Allocation: All property taxes paid, net of (1) reimbursements received from
lessees and permit holders, and (2) refunds from the taxing authority, are Regional expenses.
Net property taxes will be allocated between Retail Customers and Wholesale Customers on
the basis of Proportional Annual Use.
5.08 Hetch Hetchy Enterprise Expenses
A. Introduction. There are two steps involved in determining the amount of the
Wholesale Customers' share of Hetch Hetchy Enterprise expenses.
1. The first step is to determine the Water Enterprise's share of Hetch
Hetchy Enterprise operation expenses, maintenance expenses, administrative and general
expenses, and property taxes.
2. The second step is to determine the Wholesale Customers' share of
expenses allocable to the Water Enterprise.
B. Determination of the Water-Related Portion of Hetch Hetchy Enterprise
Expenses
1. Operation and Maintenance Expenses: This category consists of the cost
of labor, materials and supplies, and other expenses incurred in operating and maintaining
Hetch Hetchy Enterprise physical facilities.
a. Description: Expenses associated exclusively with the production
and distribution of hydroelectric power (e.g., generating plants and power transmission lines and
towers, transformers and associated electric equipment, purchased power, wheeling charges,
rental of power lines, etc.) are categorized as Power-Only and are allocated to power.
Expenses associated exclusively with the operation and maintenance of facilities that serve only
tl1e water function (e.g., water transmission pipelines and aqueducts, activities related to
compliance with federal and state drinking water qUality laws, etc.) are categorized as Water-
Only and are allocated entirely to water. Expenses associated with the operation and
maintenance of facilities that serve both the water and power functions (e.g., dams, security
-45-1840795.8
programs, etc,) are categorized as Joint and are reallocated as 55 percent Power-Related and
45 percent Water-Related,
2, Administrative and General Exoenses: There are three subcategories of
Hetch Hetchy Enterprise Administrative and General expenses.
a, Full-Cost Countywide Cost Allocation Plan: This subcategory
consists of the cost of San Francisco general government and other City central service
departments which are not directly billed to operating departments but allocated through the full-
cost Countywide Cost Allocation Plan described in Section 5.06A Costs in this subcategory
are classified as Joint, and are reallocated as 55 percent Power-Related and 45 percent Water-
Related.
b. SFPUC Bureau Costs: This subcategory consists of the expenses
described in Section 5,06.B, One hundred percent of Customer Services expenses allocated to
the Hetch Hetchy Enterprise are categorized as Power-Only. The remaining amount of Bureau
expenses allocated to the Hetch Hetchy Enterprise pursuant to Section 5.06.B will be
reallocated between power and water in proportion to the salaries of Hetch Hetchy Enterprise
employees aSSigned to each function as shown on Attachment N-2, Schedule 7.1.
c, Other Administrative and General: This subcategory includes
payments to the United States required by the Act, labor, supervision and engineering and other
costs not readily assignable to a specific operation or maintenance function or program. Costs
related to power administration (such as long range planning and policy analysis for energy
development, administration of power contracts, and administration of work orders to City
departments for energy services) are Power-Only costs. Costs related 10 water administration
(such as legal and professional services for tile protection of the City's water rights) are Water-
Only costs and will be assigned to the Water Enterprise, Costs related to both power
administration and water administration (such as general administration, office rents, office
materials and supplies, and services of other City departments benefitting to both power and
water are Joint administrative and general costs and are reallocated as 55 percent Power-
Related and 45 percent Water-Related.
3, .Eroperty Taxes. This category consists of property taxes levied against
property owned by San Francisco in Tuolumne, Stanislaus, San Joaquin, and Alameda counties
and operated and managed by the Hetch Hetchy Enterprise,
-46-1840795.8
Allocation: Property taxes are classified as Joint costs. They will be reallocated as 55
percent Power-Related and 45 percent Water-Related.
C. Calculation of Wholesale Customers' Share of Hetch Hetchy Enterprise
Expenses. The Water Enterprise's share of Hetch Hetchy Enterprise expenses consist of 100
percent of Water-Only expenses and the Water-Related portion (45%) of Joint expenses.
The Wholesale Customers' share of the sum of the Water Enterprise's share of Hetch
Hetchy Enterprise expenses determined under subsection B shall be calculated by multiplying
that dollar amount by Adjusted Proportional Annual Use.
5.09 Heteh Hetehy Enterprise Capital Costs
A. Introduction. Wholesale Customers are also allocated a share of Hetch Hetchy
Enterprise capital costs.
B. Components of Capital Costs. The components of Hetch Hetchy Enterprise
capital costs are as follows:
1. Existing Assets Cost Recovery. The Wholesale Customers' repayment of
their share of Hetch Hetchy Existing Assets (Water-Only and the Water-Related portion [45
percent] of Joint assets) is shown on Attachment K-4 accompanying Section 5.03.
2. Debt SeNice on New Assets, The Water Enterprise will be assigned 100
percent of Net Annual Debt SeNice attributable to acquisition and construction of New Hetch
Hetchy Enterprise assets that are Water-Only and the Water-Related portion (45 percent) of Net
Annual Debt SeNice on New Hetch Hetchy Enterprise Joint assets. The provisions of Section
5,04.A apply to debt seNiee on New Helch Hetchy Enlerprise assets,
3, Revenue-Funded Capital Additions. The Water Enterprise will be
assigned 100 percent of capital expenditures from revenues for New Hetch Hetehy Enterprise
assets that are Water-Only and the Water-Related portion (45 percent) of such expenditures for
new Hetch Hetchy Enterprise Joint assets. The provisions of Section 5.04.8 apply to the
payment of New revenue-funded Heteh Hetchy Enterprise assets.
C. Calculation of Wholesale Customers' Share of Heteh Hetchy Enterprise
Capital Costs. The Wholesale Customers' share of the Net Annual Debt SeNiee and revenue
funded capital expenditures determined under subsections B.2 and 3 shall be calculated by
multiplying that dollar amount by Adjusted Proportional Annual Use,

-50-J 840795.8
Article 6. Integration of Wholesale Revenue Requirement with
SFPUC Budget Development and Rate Adjustments
6.01 General
A. The purpose of the ailocation bases set forth in Article 5 is to determine the
Wholesale Revenue Requirement for each fiscal year. The Wholesale Revenue Requirement
can only be estimated in advance, based on projected costs and water deliveries. These
projections are used to establish water rates applicable to the Wholesale Customers.
B. After the close of each fiscal year, the procedures described in Article 7 will be
used to determine the actual Wholesale Revenue Requirement for that year, based on actual
costs incurred, allocated according to the provisions of Article 5, and using actual water delivery
data. The amount properly allocated to the Wholesale Customers shall be compared to the
amount billed to the Wholesale Customers for the fiscal year, other than those identified in
Section 5.10. C. The difference will be entered into a balancing account to be charged to, or
credited to. the Wholesale Customers, as appropriate.
C. The balancing account shall be managed as described in Section 6.05.
6.02 Budget Development
The SFPUC General Manager will send a copy of the proposed SFPUC budget to
BAWSCA at the same time as it is sent to the Commission. In addition, a copy of materials
submitted to the Commission for consideration at meetings prior to the meeting at which the
overall SFPUC budget is considered (including (a) operating budgets for the Water Enterprise
and the Hetch Hetclly Enterprise, (b) budgets for SFPUC Bureaus, and (c) capital budgets for
tile Water Enterprise and the Hetch Hetchy Enterprise) will also be sent to BAWSCA
concurrently with their submission to the Commission.
6.03 Rate Adjustments
A. Budget Coordinated Rate Adjustments. Adjustments to the rates applicable to
the Wholesale Customers shall be coordinated with the budget development process described
in this section except to the extent that Sections 6.03.B and 6.03.C authorize emergency rate
increases and drought rate increases, respectively.
If the SFPUC intends to increase wholesale water rates during the ensuing fiscal year, it
will comply with the following procedures:
1-1840795.8
1. Adjustments to the wholesale rates will be adopted by the Commission at
a regularly scheduled meeting or at special meeting, properly noticed, called for the purpose of
adjusting rates or for taking any other action under the jurisdiction of the Commission.
2. The SFPUC will send a written notice by mail or electronic means to each
Wholesale Customer and to BAWSCA of the recommended adjustment at least thirty (30) days
prior to the date of the meeting at which the Commission will consider the proposed adjustment.
The notice will include the date, time and place of the Commission meeting.
3. The SFPUC shall prepare and provide to each Wholesale Customer and
to BAWSCA the following materials: (a) a table illustrating how the increase or decrease in the
Wholesale Revenue Requirement and wholesale rates were calculated, substantially in the form
of Attachment N-1, (b) a schedule showing the projected expenses included in the Wholesale
Revenue Requirement for the fiscal year for which the rates are being proposed, and supporting
materials, substantially in the form of Attachment N-2, and (c) a schedule showing projected
water sales, Wholesale Revenue Requirements and wholesale rates for the fiscal year for which
rates are being set and the following four years, substantially in the form of Attachment N-3.
These materials will be included with the notification required by Section 6.03A2.
4. Rate adjustments will be effective no sooner than thirty (30) days after
adoption of the wholesale rate by the Commission.
5. San Francisco will use its best efforts to provide the Wholesale
Customers with the information described above. San Francisco's failure to comply with the
requirements set forth in this section shall not invalidate any action taken by the Commission
(including, but not limited to, any rate increase or decrease adopted). In the event of such
failure, the Wholesale Customers may either invoke arbitration, as set forth in Section 8.01, or
seek injunctive relief, to compel San Francisco to remedy the failure as soon as is reasonably
practical, and San Francisco shall be free to oppose the issuance of the requested judicial or
arbitral relief on any applicable legal or equitable basis. The existence of this right to resort to
arbitration shall not be deemed to preclude the right to seek injunctive relief.
6. Because delays in the budget process or other events may cause San
Francisco to defer the effective date of Wholesale Customer rate adjustments until after the
beginning of San Francisco's fiscal year, nothing contained in this Agreement shall require San
Francisco to make any changes in the water rates charged to Wholesale Customers effective at
-52-1840795.8
the start of San Francisco's fiscal year or at any other specific date, Nothing in the preceding
sentence shall excuse non-compliance with the provisions of Section 6.02 and this section.
B. Emergency Rate Increases. The Commission may adjust the Wholesale
Customers' rates without complying with the requirements of Section 6.03.A in response to an
Emergency that damages the Regional Water System and disrupts San Francisco's ability to
maintain normal deliveries of water to Retail and Wholesale Customers. In such an Emergency,
the Commission may adopt an emergency rate surcharge applicable to Wholesale Customers
without following the procedures set forth in this section, provided that any such rate surcharge
imposed by the Commission shall be applicable to both Retail and Wholesale Customers and
incorporate the same percentage increase for aI/ customers. Any emergency rate surcharge
adopted by the Commission shall remain in effect only until the next-budget coordinated rate-
setting cycle.
C. Drouq ht Rates. If the Commission declares a water shortage emergency under
Water Code Section 350, implements the Tier 1 Shortage Plan (Attachment H) described in
Section 3.11.C, and imposes drought rates on Retail Customers, it may concurrently adjust
wholesale rates independently of coordination with the annual budget process. Those
adjustments may be designed to encourage water conservation and may constitute changes to
the structure of the rates within the meaning of Section 6.04. The parties agree, however, that,
in adopting changes in rates in response to a declaration of water shortage emergency, the
Commission shall comply with Section 6.03.A.1 and 2 but need not comply with Section 6.04. B.
Drought Rate payments and payments of excess use charges levied in accordance with the Tier
1 Shortage Plan described in Section 3.11.C constitute Wholesale Customer Revenue and
count towards the Wholesale Revenue Requirement. The SFPLJC may use these revenues to
purchase additional water for the Wholesale Customers fron, the State Drought Water Bank or
other willing seller.
6.04 Rate Structure
A. This Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to limit the
Commission's right (a) to adjust lhe structure of the rate schedule applicable to the Wholesale
Customers (i.e., the relationship among the several charges set out therein) or (b) to add,
delete, or change the various charges which make up the rate schedule, provided that neither
such charges nor the structure of the rate schedule(s) applicable to the Wholesale Customers
shall be arbitrary, unreasonable, or unjustly discriminatory as among said customers. The
-53-J 8401958
SFPUC will give careful consideration to proposals for changes in the rate schedule made jointly
by the Wholesale Customers but, subject to the limitations set out above, shall retain the sole
and exclusive right to determine the structure of the rate schedule.
B. If the SFPUC intends to recommend that the Commission adopt one or more
changes to the structure of wholesale rates (currently set forth in SFPUC Rate Schedule W-25),
it shail prepare and distribute to the Wholesale Customers and BAWSCA a report describing the
proposed change(s), the purpose(s) for which it/they are being considered, and the estimated
financial effect on individual Wholesale Customers or classes of customers. Wholesale
Customers may submit comments on the report to the SFPUC for sixty (60) days after receiving
the report. The SF PUC will consider these comments and, if it determines to recommend that
the Commission adopt the change(s), as described in the report or as modified in response to
comments, the SFPUC General Manager shall submit a report to the Commission
recommending specific change(s) in the rate structure. Copies of the General Manager's report
shall be sent to all Wholesale Customers and BAWSCA at least thirty (30) days prior to the
Commission meeting at which the changes will be considered.
C. The SFPUC may recommend, and the Commission may adopt, changes in the
structure of wholesale rates at any time. However, the new rate schedule implementing these
changes will become effective at the beginning of the following fiscal year.
6.05 Balancing Ac;.fount
A. Balancing Account Established Under 1984 Agreement. The amount of
credit in favor of San Francisco as of the expiration of the term of 1984 Agreement (June 30,
2009) is not known with certainty as of preparation and execution of this Agreement. It will not
be known with certainty until the Compliance Audit for FY 2008-09 is completed and disputes, if
any, that the Wholesale Customers or the SFPUC may have with the calculation of the
Suburban Revenue Requirement for that fiscal year and for previous fiscal years have been
settled or decided by arbitration.
The parties anticipate that the amount of the credit in favor of San Francisco as of June
30, 2009 llIay be within the range of $15 million to $20 million.
In order to reduce the credit balance due San Francisco under the 1984 Agreement in
an orderly manner, while avoiding unnecessary fluctuations in wholesale rates, the parties
agree to implement the following procedure.
-54-1840795.8
1. In setting wholesale rates for FY 2009-10, SFPUC will include a balancing
account repayment of approximately $2 million.
2. In setting wholesale rates for FY 2010-11 and followifl9 years, SFPUC will
include a balancing account repayment of not less than $2 million and not more than $5 million
annually until the full amount of the balance due, plus interest at the rate specified in Section
6.05.B, is repaid.
3. The actual ending balance as of June 30, 2009 will be determined, by the
parties' agreement or arbitral ruling, after the Compliance Audit report for FY 2008-09 is
delivered to BAWSCA. That amount, once determined, will establish the principal to be
amortized through subsequent years' repayments pursuant to this Section 6.05.A.
B. Balancing Account Under This Agreement
1. Operation. After the close of each fiscal year, the SFPUC will compute
the costs allocable to the Wholesale Customers for that fiscal year pursuant to Article 5, based
on actual costs incurred by the SFPUC and actual amounts of water used by the Wholesale
Customers and the Retail Customers. That amount will be compared to the amounts bilfed to
the Wholesale Customers for that fiscal year (including any Excess Use Charges, but excluding
revenues described in Section 5.1 O.C). The difference will be posted to a "balancing account"
as a credit to, or charge against, the Wholesale Customers. Interest shall also be posted to the
balancing account calculated by multiplying the amount of the opening balance by the average
net interest rate, certified by the Controller as earned in the San Francisco Treasury for the
previous fiscal year on the San Francisco County Pooled Investment Account. Interest, when
posted, will carry the same mathematical sign (whether positive or negative) as carried by the
opening balance. The amount posted to the balancing account in each year shall be added to,
or subtracted from, the balance in the account from previous years. The calculation of the
amount to be posted to the balancing account shall be included in the report prepared by the
SFPUC pursuant to Section 7.02.
The opening balance for fiscal year 2009-10 shall be zero.
2. Integration of Balancina Account with Wholesale Rate Setting Process. If
the amount in the balancing account is owed to the Wholesale Customers (a positive balance),
the SFPUC shall take it into consideration in establishing wholesale rates. However, the
SFPUC need not apply the entire amount to reduce wholesale rates for the immediately ensuing
-55-1840195.8
year. Instead, the SFPUC may prorate a positive ending balance over a period of up to three
successive years in order to avoidl1uctuating decreases and increases in wholesale rates.
a. If a positive balance is maintained for three successive years and
represents 10 percent or more of the Wholesale Revenue Requirement for the most recent
fiscal year, the SFPUC shall consult with BAWSCA as to the Wholesale Customers' preferred
application of the balance. The Wholesale Customers shall, through BAWSCA, direct that the
positive balance be applied to one or more of the following purposes: (a) transfer to the
Wholesale Revenue Coverage Reserve, (b) amortization of any remaining negative balance
from the ending balancing account under the 1984 Agreement, (c) prepayment of the existing
asset balance under Section 5.03, (d) water conservation or water supply projects administered
by or through BAWSCA, (e) immediate reduction of wholesale rates, or (f) continued retention
for future rate stabilization purposes. In the absence of a direction from BAWSCA, the SFPUC
shall continue to retain the balance for rate stabilization in subsequent years.
b. If the amount in the balancing account is owed to the SFPUC (a
negative balance), the SFPUC shall not be obligated to apply all or any part of the negative
balance in establishing wholesale rates for the immediately ensuring year. Instead, the SFPUC
may prorate the negative balance in whole or in part over multiple years in order to avoid
fluctuating increases and decreases in wholesale rates.
6.06 Wholesale Revenue Coverage Reserve
A. The SFPUC may include in wholesale rates for any fiscal year an additional
dollar amount ("Wholesale Revenue Coverage"), which for any fiscal year shall equal the
following:
1. The lesser of (i) 25% of the Wholesale Customers' share of Net Annual
Debt Service for that fiscal year determined as described in Section 5.04.A, or (ii) the amount
necessary to meet the Wholesale Customers' proportionate share of Debt Service coverage
required by then-current Indebtedness for that fiscal year, minus
2. A credit for (i) the actual amounts previously deposited in the "Wholesale
Revenue Coverage Reserve" (as defined in subsection B below), (ii) accrued interest on tile
amounts on deposit in the Wholesale Revenue Coverage Reserve, and (iii) an amount equal to
any additional interest that would have accrued on the actual amounts previously deposited in
-56-J 8"0795.8
the Wholesale Revenue Coverage Reserve assuming no withdrawals had been made
therefrom.
B. During each fiscal year, the SFPUC will set aside and deposit that portion of
revenue equal to Wholesale Revenue Coverage into a separate account that the SFPUC will
establish and maintain, to be known as the "Wholesale Revenue Coverage Reserve." Deposits
into the Wholesale Revenue Coverage Reserve shall be made no less frequently than monthly.
The Wholesale Revenue Coverage Reserve shall be credited with interest at the rate specified
in Section 6.05.B. The SFPUC may use amounts in the Wholesale Revenue Coverage Reserve
for any lawful purpose. Any balance in the Wholesale Revenue Coverage Reserve in excess of
the Wholesale Revenue Coverage amount as of the end of any fiscal year (as calculated in
subsection 6.06(A) above) shall be applied as a credit against wholesale rates in the
immediately following fiscal year unless otherwise directed by BAWSCA
C. Within 180 days following the later of expiration of the Term or final payment of
Debt Service due on Indebtedness issued during the Term to which Wholesale Customers were
contributing, SFPUC shall rebate to the Wholesale Customers an amount equal to the
Wholesale Revenue Coverage amount in effect for the fiscal year during which the Term expires
or the final payment of Debt Service on Indebtedness is made based on each Wholesale
Customer's Proportional Annual Use in the fiscal year during which the Term expires or the final
payment of debt service on Indebtedness is made.
D. SFPUC shall provide a schedule of debt issuance (with assumptions), and the
Wholesale Customers' share of Net Annual Debt Service (actual and projected) expected to be
included in wholesale rates starting in 2009-10 through the expected completion of the WSIP.
The schedule is to be updated annually prior to rate setting. If estimated Debt Service is used in
rate setting, the SFPUC must be able to demonstrate that the Water Enterprise revenues will be
sufficient to meet the additional bonds test for the proposed bonds and rate covenants for the
upcoming year.
E. Conditions in the muniCipal bond market may change from those prevailing in
2009. If, prior to expiration of the Term, the SFPUC determines that it would be in the best
financial interest of both Retail Customers and Wholesale Customers of the Regional Water
System for the Debt Service coverage requirement to be increased in one or more series of
proposed new Indebtedness above 1.25%, or for the coverage covenant to be strengthened in
-57-1840795.8
other ways, it will provide a written report to BAWSCA. The report will contain (1) a description
of proposed covenant(s) in the bond indenture; (2) an explanation of how savings are expected
to be achieved (e.g., increase in the SFPUC's credit rating over the then-current level; ability to
obtain credit enhancement, etc.); (3) the estimated all-in true interest cost savings; (4) a
comparison of the Wholesale Revenue Requirements using the Debt Service coverage
limitation in subsection A and under the proposed methodology; and (5) a comparison of the
respective monetary benefits expected to be received by both Retail and Wholesale Customers.
The SFPUC and BAWSCA agree to meet and confer in good faith about the proposed changes.
F. Any increase in Debt Service coverage proposed by the SFPUC shall be
commensurate with Proportional Water Use by Retail and Wholesale Customers. If the SF-PUC
demonstrates that an increase in Debt Service coverage will result in equivalent percentage
reductions in total Wholesale and Retail Debt Service payments over the life of the proposed
new Indebtedness, based on Proportional Water Use, BAWSCA may agree to a modification of
the Wholesale Revenue Coverage requirement in subsection A. If BAWSCA does not agree to
a proposed modification in coverage reqUirements in the covenants for new Indebtedness,
SF PUC may nevertheless proceed with the modification and the issuance of new Indebtedness.
Any Wholesale Customer, or BAWSCA, may challenge an increase in the Wholesale Revenue
Requirement resulting from the modification in Debt Service coverage through arbitration as
provided in Section 8.01.A. If the arbitrator finds that the increase in Debt Service coverage
(1) did not and will not result in equivalent percentage reductions in total Wholesale and Retail
Debt Service payments over the life of the proposed new Indebtedness, based on Proportional
Water Use, or (2) was not commensurate with Proportional Water Use, the arbitrator may order
the Wholesale Revenue Requirement to be recalculated both retrospectively and prospectively
to eliminate the differential impact to Wholesale or Retail Customers, subject to the limitation in
Section 8.01.C.
6.07 Working Capital Requirement
A. The SFPUC maintains working capital in the form of unappropriated reserves for
the purpose of bridging the gap between when the SFPUC incurs operating expenses required
to provide service and when it receives revenues from its Retail and Wholesale Customers.
The Wholesale Customers shall fund their share of working capital as part of the annual
Wholesale Revenue Requirement calculation. The amount of wholesale working capital for
which the Wholesale Customers will be responsible will be determined using the 60-day
standard formula approach.
-58-1840795.8
B. Applying this approach, annual wholesale working capital equals one-sixth of the
wholesale allocation of operation and maintenance, administrative and general, and property tax
expenses for the Water and Hetch Hetchy Enterprises. Wholesale working capital shall be
calculated separately for the Water and Hetch Hetchy Enterprises.
C. Each month, the sum of the Water Enterprise and Hetch Hetchy Enterprise
working capital components will be compared with the ending balance in the Wholesale
Revenue Coverage Reserve to determine if the Wholesale Customers provided the minimum
required working capital. If the Wholesale Revenue Coverage Reserve is greater than the total
Water Enterprise and Hetch Hetchy Enterprise working capital requirement, the Wholesale
Customers will have provided their share of working capital. If the Wholesale Revenue
Coverage Reserve is less than the total Water Enterprise and Hetch Hetchy Enterprise working
capital requirement, the Wholesale Customers will be charged interest on the difference, which
will be included in the adjustment to the Balancing Account under Section 6.05. B for the
subsequent fiscal year.
6.08 Wholesale Capital Fund
A. The SFPUC currently funds revenue-funded capital projects through annual
budget appropriations that are included in rates established for that fiscal year and transferred
to a capital project fund from which expenditures are made. Consistent with the San Francisco
Charter and Administrative Code, the SFPUC appropriates funds in advance of construction in
order to maintain a positive balance in the capital project fund. The capital project fund also
accrues interest and any unspent appropriations in excess of total project costs. It is the
SF PUC's practice to regularly monitor the capital project fund balance to determine whether a
surplus has accumulated, which can be credited against the next fiscal year's capital project
appropriation.
B. The SFPUC shall establish a comparable Wholesale Revenue-Funded Capital
Fund (Wholesale Capital Fund) to enable the Wholesale Customers to fund the wholesale share
of revenue-funded New Regional Assets. The Wholesale Capital Fund balance is zero as of
,Iuly 1, 2009. The SFPUC may include in wholesale rates for any fiscal year an amount equal to
the wholesale share of the SFPUC's appropriation for revenue funded New Regional Assets for
that year, which sum will be credited to the Wholesale Capital Fund. The wholesale share of
other sources of funding, where legally permitted and appropriately accounted for under GAAP,
-59-1840795.8
will also be credited to the Wholesale Capital Fund, together with interest earnings on the
Wholesale Capital Fund balance.
C. The SFPUC will expend revenues appropriated and transferred to the Wholesale
Capital Fund only on New Regional Assets. The annual capital appropriation included in each
fiscal year's budget will be provided to BAWSCA in accordance with Section 6.02 and will take
into account the current and projected balance in the Wholesale Capital Fund, as well as current
and projected unexpended and unencumbered surplus, as shown on attachment M-1, which will
be prepared by the SFPUC each year.
D. Commencing on November 30,2010 and thereafter in each fiscal year during the
Term, the SFPUC will also provide an annual report to BAWSCA on the status of individual
revenue-funded New Regional Assets, substantially in the form of Attachment M-2.
E. In order to prevent the accumulation of an excessive unexpended and
unencumbered surplus in the Wholesale Capital Fund, the status of the fund balance will be
reviewed through the Compliance Audit at five-year intervals, commencing in FY 2014-15. Any
excess fund balance (i.e., an accumulated unexpended, unencumbered amount in excess of ten
percent (10%) of the wholesale share of total capital appropriations for New Regional Assets
during the five preceding years) will be transferred to the credit of the Wholesale Customers to
the Balancing Account described in Section 6.05. Attachment M-3 illustrates the operation of
this review process, covering FY 2009-10 through FY 2013-14 and FY 2014-15 through 2018-
19.
F. Three years prior to the end of the Term, the SFPUC and BAWSCA will discuss
the disposition of the Wholesale Capital Fund balance at the end of the Term. Absent
agreement, any balance remaining in the Wholesale Capital Fund at the end of the Term shall
be transferred to the Balancing Account, to the credit of the Wholesale Customers.

8.06 SFPUC Rules and Regulations
The sale and delivery of all water under this Agreement shall be subject to such of the
"Rules and Regulations Governing Water Service to Customers" of the Water Enterprise
adopted by the Commission, as those rules and regulations may be amended from time to time,
as are (1) applicable to the sale and delivery of water to the Wholesale Customers, (2)
reasonable, and (3) not inconsistent with either this Agreement or with an Individual Water
Sales Contract. The SFPUC will give the Wholesale Customers notice of any proposal to
amend the Rules and Regulations in a manner that would affect the Wholesale Customers. The
notice will be delivered at least thirty days in advance of the date on which the proposal is to be
considered by the Commission and will be accompanied by the text of the proposed
amendment.
8.07 Reservations of, and Limitations on, Claims
A. General Reservation of Raker Act Contentions. The 1984 Agreement
resolved a civil action brought against San Francisco by certain of the Wholesale Customers.
Plaintiffs in that action contended that they, and other Wholesale Customers that are
municipalities or special districts, were "co-grantees" within the meaning of Section 8 of the Act
and were entitled to certain rights, benefits and privileges by virtue of that status. San Francisco
disputed those claims.
Nothing in this Agreement, or in the Individual Water Sales Contracts, shall be construed
or interpreted in any way to affect the ultimate resolution of the controversy between the parties
concerning whether any of the Wholesale Customers are "co-grantees" under the Act and, if so,
what rights, benefits and privileges accrue to them by reason of that claimed status.
B. Claims Reserved but not Assertable During Term or Portions Thereof. The
following claims, which San Francisco disputes, are reserved but may not be asserted during
the Term (or portions thereof, as indicated):
1. The Wholesale Customers' claim that the Act entitles them to water at
cost.
2. The Wholesale Customers' claim that San Francisco is obligated under
the Act or state law to supply them with additional water in excess of the Supply Assurance.
This claim may not be asserted unless and until San Francisco decides not to meet projected
-77-1840795.8
water demands of Wholesale Customers in excess of the Supply Assurance pursuant to Section
4.06.
3. The claim by San Jose and Santa Clara that they are entitled under the
Act, or any other federal or state law, to permanent, non-interruptible status and to be charged
rates identical to those charged other Wholesale Customers. This claim may not be asserted
unless and until San Francisco notifies San Jose or Santa Clara that it intends to interrupt or
terminate water deliveries pursuant to Section 4.05.
4. The Wholesale Customers' claim that the SFPUC is not entitled to impose
a surcharge for lost power generation revenues attributable to furnishing water in excess of the
Supply Assurance. This claim may not be asserted unless and until SFPUC furnishes water in
excess of the Supply Assurance during the Term and also includes such a surcharge in the
price of such water.
5. Claims by Wholesale Customers (other than San Jose and Santa Clara,
whose service areas are fixed) that SFPUC is obligated under the Act or state law to furnish
water, within their IndiVidual Supply Guarantee, for delivery to customers outside their existing
service area and that Wholesale Customers are entitled to enlarge their service areas to supply
those customers. Such claims may be asserted only after compliance with the procedure set
forth in Section 3.03, followed by SFPUC's denial of, or failure for six months to act on, a written
request by a Wholesale Customer to expand its service area.
C. Waived Activities. The Wholesale Customers (and the SFPUC, where
specified) will refrain from the following activities during the Term (or portions thereof, as
~ specified):
1. The Wholesale Customers and the SFPUC will not contend before any
court, administrative agency or legislative body or committee that the methodology for
determining the Wholesale Revenue Requirement (or the requirements for (a) amortization of
the ending balance under the 1984 Agreement. or (b) contribution to the Wholesale Revenue
Coverage) determined in accordance with this Agreement violates the Act or any other provision
of federal law, state law, or San Francisco's City Charter, or is unfair, unreasonable or unlawfuL
2. The Wholesale Customers will not challenge the transfer of funds by the
SFPUC to any other San Francisco City department or fund, provided such transfer complies
with the San Francisco City Charter. The transfer of its funds, whether or not permitted by the
-78-1840795.8
City Charter, will not excuse the SFPUC from its failure to perform any obligation imposed by
this Agreement.
3, The Wholesale Customers and the SFPUC will not assert monetary
claims against one another based on the 1984 Agreement other than otherwise arbitrable
claims arising from the three fiscal years immediately preceding the start of the Term (I.e., FYs
2006-07,2007-08 and 2008-09), Such claims, if any, shall be governed by the dispute
resolution provisions of this Agreement, except that the time within which arbitration must be
commenced shall be 18 months from delivery of the Compliance Auditor's report.
D. Other
1. This Agreement shall determine the respective monetary rights and
obligations of the parties with respect to water sold by the SFPUC to the Wholesale Customers
during the Term. Such rights and obligations shall not be affected by any judgments or orders
issued by any court in litigation, whether or not between parties hereto, and whether or not
related to the controversy over co-grantee status, except for arbitration and/or litigation
expressly permitted in this Agreement. No judicial or other resolution of issues reserved by this
section will affect the Wholesale Revenue Requirement which, during the Term, will be
determined exclusively as provided in Articles 5, 6 and 7 of this Agreement.
2, Because delays in the budget process or other events may cause the
SFPUC to defer the effective date of changes in wholesale rates until after the beginning of the
fiscal year, this Agreement does not require the SFPUC to make changes in wholesale rates
effective at the start of the fiscal year or at any other specific date.
3, The Wholesale Customers do not, by executing this Agreement, concede
the legality of the SFPUC's establishing Interim Supply Allocations, as provided in Article 4 or
imposing Environmental Enhancement Surcharges on water use in excess of such allocations.
Any Wholesale Customer may challenge such allocation when imposed and/or such surcharges
if and when levied, in any court of competent jurisdiction.
4, The furnishing of water in excess of the Supply Assurance by San
Francisco to the Wholesale Customers shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver by San
Francisco of its claim that it has no obligation under any provision of law to supply such water to
the Wholesale Customers, nor shall it constitute a dedication by San Francisco to the Wholesale
Customers of such water.
-79-1840795,8
8.08 Prohibition of Assignment
A. This Agreement shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties
and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Each Wholesale Customer agrees that
it will not transfer or assign any rights or privileges under this Agreement, either in whole or in
part, or make any transfer of all or any part of its water system or allow the use thereof in any
manner whereby any provision of this Agreement will not continue to be binding on it, its
assignee or transferee, or such user of the system. Any assignment or transfer in violation of
this covenant, and any assignment or transfer that would result in the supply of water in violation
of the Act, shall be void.
B. Nothing in this section shall prevent any Wholesale Customer (except the
California Water Service Company and Stanford) from entering into a jOint powers agreement or
a municipal or multi-party water district with any other Wholesale Customer (except the two
listed above) to exercise the rights and obligations granted to and imposed upon the Wholesale
Customers hereunder, nor shall this section prevent any Wholesale Customer (except the two
listed above) from succeeding to the rights and obligations of another Wholesale Customer
hereunder as long as the Wholesale Service Area served by the Wholesale Customers involved
in the succession is not thereby enlarged.

it under this Agreement by notice to San Francisco (in the case of a change desired by a
Wholesale Customer or BAWSCA) and to the Wholesale Customer and BAWSCA (in the case

Water Sales Contracts with each of the Wholesale Customers. The term of the majority of
Individual Water Sales Contracts will expire on June 30, 2009, concurrently with the expiration
of the 1984 Agreement. Except as provided below in this Article, each of the Wholesale
Customers will execute a new Individual Water Sales Contract with San Francisco concurrently
with its approval of the Agreement.
B. The Individual Water Sales Contracts will describe the service area of each
Wholesale Customer, identify the location and size of connections between the Regional Water
System and the Wholesale Customer's distribution system, provide for periodiC rendering and
payment of bills for water usage, and in some instances contain additional specialized
provisions unique to the particular Wholesale Customer and not of general concern or
applicability. A sample Individual Water Sales Contract is provided at Attachment F. The
Individual Water Sales Contracts between San Francisco and the Wholesale Customers will not
contain any provision inconsistent with Articles 1 through 8 of this Agreement except (1) as
provided below in this Article or (2) to the extent that such provisions are not in derogation of the
Fundamental Rights of other Wholesale Customers under this Agreement. Any provisions in
an Individual Water Sales Contract which are in violation of this section shall be void.
9.02 California Water Service Cg!!lQany
A. The parties recognize that the California Water Service Company is an investor-
owned utility company and. as such, has no claim to co-grantee status under the Act, which
specifically bars private parties from receiVing for resale any water produced by the Hetch
Hetchy portion of the Regional Water System. Accordingly, the following provisions shall apply
to the California Water Service Company, notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in
this Agreement.
B. The total quantity of water delivered by San Francisco to the California Water
Service Company shall not in any calendar year exceed 47,400 acre feet. which is the
estimated average annual production of Local System Water. If San Francisco develops
additional Local System Water after the Effective Date, it may (1) increase the maximum
-84-1840795.8
delivery amount stated herein; and (2) increase the Supply Assurance, but not necessarily both.
San Francisco has no obligation to deliver water to California Water Service Company in excess
of the maximum stated herein, except as such maximum may be increased by San Francisco
pursuant to this subsection. The maximum annual quantity of Local System Water set forth in
this sUbsection is intended to be a limitation on the total quantity of water that may be allocated
to California Water Service Company, and is not an Individual Supply Guarantee for purposes of
Section 3.02. The maximum quantity of Local System Water set forth in this subsection is
subject to reduction in response to (1) changes in long-term hydrology or (2) environmental
water requirements that may be imposed by or negotiated with state and federal resource
agencies in order to comply with state or federal law or to secure applicable permits for
construction of Regional Water System facilities. San Francisco shall notify California Water
Service Company of any anticipated reduction of the quantity of Local System Water set forth in
this subsection, along with an explanation of the basis for the reduction.
C. Notwithstanding anything in Section B.08 to the contrary, California Water
Service Company shall have the right to assign to a public agency having the power of eminent
domain all or a portion of the rights of California Water Service Company under any contract
between it and San Francisco applicable to any individual district of California Water Service
Company in connection with the acquisition by such public agency of all or a portion of the water
system of California Water Service Company in such district. In the event of any such
assignment of all the rights, privileges and obligations of California Water Service Company
under such contract, California Water Service Company shall be relieved of all further
obligations under such contract provided that the assignee public agency expressly assumes
the obligations of California Water Service Company thereunder. In the event of such an
assignment of a portion of the rights, privileges and obligations of California Water Service
Company under such contract, California Water Service Company shall be relieved of such
portion of such obligations so assigned thereunder provided that the assignee public agency
shall expressly assume such obligations so assigned to it.
D. Should California Water Service Company seek to take over or otherwise
acquire, in whole or in part, tile service obligations of another Wholesale Customer under
Section 3.03.E, it will so inform San Francisco at least six months prior to the effective date of
the sale and provide information concerning the total additional demand proposed to be served,
in order that San Francisco may compare the proposed additional demand to the then-current
estimate of Local System Water. In this regard, California Water Service Company has notified
-85-1840795.8
the SFPUC that it has reached an agreement to acquire the assets of Skyline County Water
District ("Skyline") and assume the responsibility for providing water service to customers in the
Skyline service area. California Water Service Company has advised the SFPUC that, on
September 18, 2008, the California Public Utilities Commission approved California Water
Service Company's acquisition of Skyline. The SFPUC anticipates approving the transfer of
Skyline's Supply Guarantee as shown on Attachment C to California Water Service Company
and the expansion of California Water Service Company's service area to include the current
Skyline service area before the Effective Date of this Agreement All parties to this Agreement
authorize corresponding modifications of Attachment C, as well as any of the Agreement's other
provisions, to reflect the foregoing transaction without the necessity of amending this
Agreement.

within the service area of the California Water Service Company. Nothing in this Agreement
shall require or contemplate any delivery of water to California Water Service Company in
violation of the Act.

PROCEDURE FOR PRO·RATA REDUCTION OF WHOLESALE CUSTOMERS' INDIVIDUAL
SUPPLY GUARANTEES
(SECTION 3.02).
The 23 wholesale customers listed on Attachment C have individual Supply Guarantees that
total approximately 161.9 MGD.
If the amount of water purchased from SFPUC by Hayward exceeds 22.1 MGD for three
consecutive fiscal years, the individual Supply Guarantees of each of those 23 wholesale custo'mers
will be reduced as described below.
STEP ONE:
Obtain the average annual excess purchases during the three fiscal year period. For example,
assume Hayward uses 25.0 MGO, 24.2 MGO and 26.0 MGO in three consecutive years. The
average annual excess use for that period is 2.9 MGD; calculated as follows:
STEP TWO:
[25.0 MGD + 24.2 MGD + 26.0 MGOJ + 161.9 MGO = 186.9 MGD
3
186.9 MGD -184.0 MGO = 2.9 MGD
Allocate the excess purchases among the 23 Wholesale Customers in proportion to each
customer's Supply Guarantee as a percentage of the total Supply Guarantees (161.9 MGD as of FY
2009-10).
For example, assume that Wholesale Customer A's Supply Guarantee is 12.0 MGD.
Wholesale Customer A's percentage share of the total individual supply guarante.es is 0.074,
calculated as follows:
'12.0 MGO -. -16-'-'-1'-.9-M-'--G-O-::: 0.074
and its share of the excess use is 0.22 MGD, calculated as follows:
2.9 MGD x 0.074 = 0.22 MGD
J 86640&.4
STEP THREE:
Determine Wholesale Customer's adjusted Supply Guarantee by subtracting the result of Step
Two from the Wholesale Customer's Supply Guarantee:
12 MGD -0.22 MGD = 11.78 MGD·
* * * * * * * * * *
Adjustments will be made at intervals comprised of distinct three-year periods of use by
Hayward in excess of 22.1 MGD rather than overlapping periods, For example, assuming that the
first adj ustment were to occur in FY 2014-15 (based on use during FY 2011-12, FY 2012-13 and FY
2013-14), a second adjustment will not occur earlier tha,n three full fiscal years thereafter (Le.,
FY 2017-18, based on use by Hayward in FY 2014-15, FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17). The figures
used in the second and subsequent adjustments will reflect previous adjustments. For example, a
second adjustment will use 158.9 MGD as the total of individual Supply Guarantees (161.6 MGD-
2.7 MGD :: 158.9 MGD):
.For pUI"poses of simplicity, the volumetric units used in the foregoing example are MGD. For
actual adjustment calculations, the unit employed will be hundreds of cubic feet ("ccf'), the unit by
which the SFPUC measures water deliveries for billing purposes.
The procedure described and illustrated above is
independent of and unrelated to the establishment
by the SFPUC of Interim Supply Limitations
described in Article 4.

WATER SHORTAGE ALLOCATION PLAl~
This Interim Water Shortage Allocation Plan ("Plan") describes the method for allocating water
between the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission ("SFPUC") and the Wholesale
Customers collectively during shortages caused by drought. The Plan implements a method for
allocating water among the individual Wholesale Customers which has been ad,opted by the
Wholesale Customers. The Plan includes provisions for transfers, banking, and excess use
charges. The Plan applies only when the SFPUC deteI1llii1es that a system-wide water shortage
due to drought exists, and all references to "shortages" and ''water shortages" are to be so
understood. This Plan was adopted pursuant to Section 7.03(a) of the 1984 Settlement
Agreement and Master Water Sales Contract and has been updated to correspond to the
terminology used in the June 2009 Water Supply Agreement between the City and County of
San Francisco and Wholesale Customers in Alameda CoUnty, San Mateo County and Santa Clara
County ("Agreement").
SECTION 1. SHORTAGE CONDITIONS
1.1. Proiected Available SFPUC Water Supply. The SFPUC shall make an annual
determination as to whether or not a shortage condition exists. The determination of projected
available water supply shall consider, among other things, stored water, projected runoff, water '
acquired by the SFPUC from non-SFPUC sourc~s, inactive storage, reservoir losses, allowance
for carryover storage, and water bank balances, if any, described in Section 3.
1.2 Projected SFPUC Purchases. The SFPUC will utilize purchase data, including volUmes of
water purchased by the Wholesale Customers and by Retail Customers (as those terms are used
in the Agreement) in the year immediately prior to the drought, along with other available
relevant information, as a basis for determining projected system-wide water purchases from the
SFPUC for the upcoming year.
1.3. Shortage Conditions. The SFPUC will compare the available water supply (Section 1.1)
with projected system-wide water purchases (Section 1.2). A shortage condition exists if the
SFPUC detennines that the projected available water supply is less than projected system-wide
water purchases in the upcoming Supply Year (defined as the period from July 1 through hme
30). When a shortage condition exists, SFPUC will determine whether voluntary or mandatory
actions will be required to reduce purchases of SF PUC water to required levels. '
1.3.1 Voluntary Response. If the SFPUC determines that voluntary actions will be sufficient to
accomplish the necessary reduction in water use throughout its service area, the SFPUC and the
Wholesale Customers will make good faith efforts to reduce their water pmchases to stay within
their annual shortage allocations and associated monthly water use budgets. The SFPUC v.rill not
impose excess use charges during periods of voluntary rationing, but may suspend the
prospective accwnulation of water bank credits, or impose a ceiling on further accumulation of
bank credits, consistent with Section 3.2.] of this Plan.
1857367.3
1.3.2 Mandatory Response. If the SFPUC determines that mandatory actions will be required
to accomplish the necessary reduction in water use in the SFPUC service area, the SFPUC may
implement excess use charges as set forth in Section 4 of this Plan.
1.4. Period of Shortage. A shortage period commences when the SFPUC determines that a
water shortage exists, as set forth in a declaration of water shortage emergency issued by the
SFPUC pursuant to California Water Code Sections 350 et seq. Termination of the water
shortage emergency will be declared by resolution of the SFPUC.
SECTION 2. SHORTAGE ALLOCATIONS
2.1. Annual Allocations between the SFPUC and the Wholesale Customers. The annual
water supply available during shortages will be allocated between the SFPUC and the collective
Wholesale Customers as 'follows: .
I --""" ....
Level of System Wide Share o'f Available Water
Reduction in Water Use
Required SFPUC Share Wholesale Customers
Share
5% or less 3,5.5% 64.5%
6% through 10% 36.0% 64.0%
11 % through 15% 37.0% 63,0%
16% through 20% 37.5% 62.5%
I
The water allocated to the SFPUC shall correspond to the total allocation for all Retail
C'ustomers. '
2.2 Annual Allocations among the Wholesale Customers. The annual water supply allocated
to the Wholesale Customers collectively during system wide shortages of20 percent or less will
be apportioned among them based on a methodology adopted by all of the Wholesale Customers,
as described in Section 3.11(C) of the Agreement. In any year for which the methodology must
be applied, the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency ("BAWSCA") will calculate
each Wholesale Customer's individual percentage share of the amount of water allocated to the
\Vl10lesale Customers collectively pursuant to Section 2.1. Following the declaration or
reconfirmation of a water shortage emergency by the SFPUC, BA WSCA will deliver to the
SFPUC General Manager a list, signed by the President of BA WSCA' s Board of Directors and
its General Manager, showing each Wholesale Customer together with its percentage share and
stating that the list has been prepared 'in accordance with the methodology adopted by the
Wholesale Customers. The SFPUC shaH allocate water to each Wholesale Customer, as
specified in the list. The shortage allocations so established may be transferred as provided in
Section of this Plan, If BA WSCA or all Wholesale Customers do not provide the SFPUC
with individual allocations, the SFPUC may make a final allocation decIsion after first meeting
and discussing allocations with BA WSCA and the Wholesale Customers ..
The methodology adopted by the Wholesale Customers utilizes the rolling average of each
individual Wholesale Customer's purchases from the SFPUC during the three immediately
2
1857367.3
preceding Supply Years. The SFPUC agrees to provide BA WSCA by November 1 of each year
a list showing the amoUnt of water purchased by each \Vholesale Customer during the
immediately preceding Supply Year. The list will be prepared using Customer Service Bureau
report MGT440 (or comparable official record in use at the time), adjusted as required for any
reporting errors or omissions, and' will be transmitted by the SFPU C General Manager or his
designee.
2.3. Limited Applicability of Plan to System Wide Shortages Greater Than Twenty
Percent. The allocations of water between the SFPUC and the \Vholesale Customers
collectively, provided for in Section 2.1, apply only to shortages of20 percent or less. The
SFPUC and Wholesale Customers recognize the possibility of a drought occurring which could
create system-wide shortages greater than 20 percent despite actions taken by the SFPUC aimed
at reducing the probability and severity of water shortages in the SFPUC service area. If the
SFPUC determines that a system wide water shortage greater than 20 percent exists, the SFPUC
and the \Vholesale Customers agree to meet within 10 days and discuss whether a change is
required to the allocation set forth in Section 2.1 in order to mitigate undue hardships that might
otherwise be experienced by individual \Vholesale Customers or Retail Customers. Following
these discussions, the Tier 1 water allocations set forth in Section 2.1 of this Plan, or a modified
version thereof, may be adopted by mutual written consent of the SFPUC and the Wholesale
Customers. If the ,SFPUC and Wholesale Customers meet and cannot agree on an appropriate
Tier 1 allocation within 30 days of the SFPUC's detennination of water shortage greater than 20
percent, then (1) the provisions of Section 3.11 (C) of the Agreement will apply, unless (2) all of
the Wholesale Customers direct in writing that a Tier 2 allocation methodology agreed t6 by
them be used to apportion the water to be made available to the Wholesale Customers
collectively, in lieu of the provisions of Section 3.11 (C). ,
The provisions of this Plan relating to transfers (in Section 2.5), banking (in Section 3), and
excess use charges (in Section 4) shall continue to apply during system-wide shortages greater
than 20 percent.
2.4. Monthly Water Budgets. Within 10 days after adopting a declaration of water shoitage
emergency, the SFPUC will determine the amount of Tier 1 water allocated to the WholeSale
Customers collectively pursuant to Section 2.1. The SFPUC General Manager, using the Tier 2
allocation percentages shown on the list delivered by BA WSCA pUrsuant to Section 2.2, will
calculate each Wholesale Customer's individual annual allocation. The SFPUC General
Manager, or his designee, will 'then provide each Wholesale Customer with a proposed schedule
of monthly water budgets based on the pattern of monthly water purchases during the Supply
Year immediately preceding the declaration of shortage (the "Default Schedule"). Each,
Wholesale Customer may, within two weeks of receiving its Default Schedule, provide the
SFPUC with an alternative monthly water budget that reschedules its annual Tier 2 shortage
allocation over the course of the succeeding Supply Year. If a Wholesale Customer does not
deliver an altcnlative monthly water budget to the SFPUC within two weeks of its receipt of the
Default Schedule, then its monthly budget for the ensuing Supply Year shall be the Default
Schedule proposed by the SFPUC.
Monthly Wholesale Customer water budgets will be derived from annual Tier 2 allocations for
purposes of accounting for excess use. Monthly Wholesale Customer water budgets shall be
adjusted during the year to account for transfers of shortage allocation under Section 2.5 and
3
1857367.3
transfers of banked water under Section 3.4.
2.5. Transfers of Shortage Allocations. Voluntary transfers of shortage allocations between the
SFPUC and any Wholesale Customers, and between any Wholesale Customers, will be permitted
using the same procedure as that for transfers of banked water set forth in Section 3.4. The
SFPUC and BA WSCA shall be notified of each transfer. Transfers of shortage allocations shall
be deemed to be an emergency transfer and shall become effective on the third business day after
notice of the transf~r has been delivered to the SFPUC. Transfers of shortage allocations shall be
in compliance with Section 3.05 of the Agreement. The transferring parties will meet with the
SFPUC, if requested, to discuss any effect the transfer may have on its operations.
SECTION 3. SHORTAGE WATER BANKING
3.1. Water Bank Accounts. The SFPUC shall create a water bank account for itself and each
Wholesale Customer during shortages in conjunction with its resale customer billing process.
Bank accounts will account for amounts of water that are either saved or used in excess of the
shortage allocation for each agency; the accounts are not used for tracking billings and
. payments. When a shortage period is in effect (as defined in Section 1.4), the following
provisions for bank credits, debits, and transfers shall be in force. A statement of bank balance
for each Wholesale Customer will be included with the SFPUC's monthly water bills.
3.2. Bank Account Credits. Each month, monthly purchases will be compared to the monthly
budget for that month.' Any unused shortage allocation by an agency will be credited to that
agency's water bank aCGount. Credits will accumulate during the entire shortage period, subject
to potential restrictions imposed pursuant to Section 3.2.1. Credits remaining at the end of the
shortage period will be zeroed out; no financial or other credit shall be granted for bank~d water.
3.2.1. Maximum Balances. The SFPUC may suspend the prospective accumulation of credits
in all accounts. Alternatively, the SFPUC may impose a ceiling on further accumulation of
credits in water bank balances based on a uniform ratio of the bank balance to the annual water
allocation. In making a decision to suspend the prospective accumulation of water bank credits,
the SFPUC shall consider the available water supply as set forth in Section 1.1 of this Plan and
other reasonable, relevant factors.
3.3. Account Debits. Each month, monthly purchases will be compared to the budget for that
month. Purchases in excess ofmonthJy budgets will be debited against an agency's water b;Ulk
account. Bank d.ebits remaining at the end of the fiscal year will be subject to excess use charges
(see Section 4).
3.4. Transfers of Banked Water. In addition to the transfers of shortage allocations provided
for in Section 2.5, vohmtary transfers of banked water will also be permitted between the SFPUC
and anyVlholesale Customer, and among the Wholesale Customers. The volume oftrarisfened
water will be credited to the transferee's water bank account and debited against the transferor's
water bank account. The transferring parties must notifY the SFPUC and BA WSCA of each
transfer in writing (so that adjustments can be made to bank accounts), and will meet with the
SFPUC, if requested, to discuss any affect the transfer may have on SFPUC operations.
Transfers of banked water shall be .deemed to be an emergency transfer and shall become
effective on the third business day after notice of the transfer has been delivered to the SFPUC.
4
1857367.3
If the SFPUC incurs extraordinary costs in implementing transfers, it will give written notice to
the transferring parties within ten (10) business days after receipt of notice of the transfer.
Extraordinary costs means additional costs directly attributable to accommodating transfers and
which are not incurred in non-drought years nor simply as a result of the shortage condition
itself Extraordinary costs shall be calculated in accordance with the procedures in the
Agreement and shall be subject to the disclosure and auditing requirements in the Agreement. In
the case of transfers between Wholesale Customers, such extraordinary costs shall be considered
to be expenses chargeable solely to individual. Wholesale Customers and shall be borne equally
by the parties to the transfer. In the case of transfers between the SFPUC and a Vlholesale
Customer, the SFPUC's share of any extraordinary transfer costs shall not be added to the
Wholesale Revenue Requirement.
3.4.1. Transfer Limitations. The agency transferring banked water will be allowed to transfer
no more than the accwnulated balance in its bank. Transfers of estimated prospective banked
credits and the "overdrafting" of accounts shall not be pennitted. The price of transfer water
originally derived from the SFPUC system is to be detennined by the transferring parties and is
not specified herein. Transfers of banked water shall be in compliance with Section 3.05 of the
Agreement.
SECTION 4. WHOLESALE EXCESS USE CHARGES
4.1. Amount of Excess Use Charges. Monthly excess use charges shall be deterrriined by the
SFPUC at the time of the declared water shortage consistent with the calendar in Section 6 and in
accordance with Section 6.03 of the Agreement. The excess use charges will be in the fonn of
multipliers applil;!d to the rate in effect at the time the excess use occurs. The same excess use
charge multipliers shall.apply to the Wholesale Customers and all Retail Customers. The excess .
use charge multipliers apply only to the charges for water delivered at the rate in effect at the
time the excess use occurred.
4.2 Monitoring Suburban Water Use:. During periods of voluntary rationing, water usage
greater than a customer's allocation (as determined in Section 2) will be indicated on each
SFPUC monthly water bill. During periods of mandatory rationing, monthly and cwnulative
water usage greater than a Wholesale Customer's shortage allocation and the associated excess
use charges will be indicated on each SFPUC monthly water bill.
4.3. Suburban Excess Use Charge Payments. An annual reconciliation will be made of
monthly excess use charges according to .the calendar in Section 6. Annual excess use charges
will be calculated by comparing total annual purchases for each Wholesale Customer with its
annual shortage allocation (as adjusted for transfers of shortage allocations and banked water, if
any). Excess use charge payments by those Wholesale Customers with net excess use will be
paid according to the calendar in Section 6. The SFPUC may dedicate excess use charges paid
by Wholesale Customers toward the purchase of water from the State Drought Water Bank or
other willing sellers in order to provide additional water to the Wholesale Customers. Excess use
charges paid by the Wholesale Customers constitute Wholesale Customer revenue arid shall be
included within the SFPUC's annual Wholesale Revenue Requirement calculation.

SECTION A. W A 'fER METERS
1. General
The Agreement provides that certainoperatinganCl maintenance expenses and the capital . ,
cost of certain categories of utility plan.! in service are to be allocated between San Francisco and
, I
the Wholesale Customers on the basis of proportionate annual usage of the Regional Water I .
System. The purPose of this Attachment is to describe the meters) and illustrate the method by
which proportionate annual usage wilJ be calculated.
2. Units of Measurement; Rounding, Conversion
The SFPUC will compile the usage data required to complete Table 1 annually ... The.
, units of measurement and-conventions for converting and rounding will be as follows. , .' '..
,The data i~ the Tabl~ 1 will be presented, and'the calCuIations ~ont~mplated bfthis ,.'

March 1 I, 2009
3. Location of Meters/Gauges
The SFPUC presently maintains meters and gauges that have been used to determine the
proportionate usage of the Regional Water System, in accordance with' the methods and
cal~ulations despribed in Exhibit J to the 1984 contract between San Francisco and the
Wholesale Customers. These meters consist of "County-Line Meters," "In-City Terminal
Reservoir Meters" and "System Input and In-line Meters" as described in the following
subsections. As new capital improvement projects are designed and constructed by the SFPUC,
it may be necessary for new meters to be installed to ensure continued accurate detenninations of
the proportionate usage of the Regional Water System. "Planned meters" are included in the
following subs~ctions where planned. capital improvement projects are likely to require the
installation of additional meters.
a. County-line Meters
The SFPUC presently maintains meters at or near the San Mateo-San Francisco' County
line to measure flow through all transmission pipelines entering .the City ("County-line Meters").
The existing and planned County-line Meters 'are listed in Table 2 and shown on Figures 1 and 2.
Additional details pertaining to the County-line meters located at the Lake Merced Pump Station,
and specifically to water deliveries from the pump station to Sunset Reservoir, Sutro Reservoir,
and Lake Merced are provided below.
(1) County-Line deliveries to Sunset and Sutro ReservQirs
Water delivered to the City through the Sunset Supply Pipeline may be pumped fro~
the Lake Merced Pump Station to either Sunset .Reservoir or Sutro Reservoir located
within the City. When water is pumped from the Lake Merced Pump Station to both
Sunset and Sutro reservoirs simultaneously, the recording instrumentation on the
Sunset and Sutro venturi meters are designed to record flows through both meters.
When water is pumped to Sutro Reservoir only (typically utilizing Pump No.4 at the
3
March 11, 2009
Lake Merced Pump Station), the source water is from the Sunset Reservoir (not the
County-line), and the direction of flow through the Sunset venturi meter is reversed.
Under this pumping scenario, the recording instrumentation on the Sunset and Sutra
venturi meters are designed to not record flow on their respective recorders such that
the in-City transfer of water between Sunset and Sutro Reservoirs is not included as a
County-Ene delivery to the City. Figure 2 provides a generalized schematic of the
Lake Merced Pump Station and the typical direction of flow from the County-line,
through the pump station.
(2) County-line deliveries to Lake Merced
In order to raise and maintain water levels in Lake Merced, the·SFPUC occasionally
delivers water directly from the Regional Water System to Lake Merced. Deliveri~s
from the Regional Water System to Lake Merced are accomplished at the Lake
Merced Pump Station. The procedure involves operating valves on the suction side
of Sunset Pump No.2 such that water may flow by grav:ity in the Sunset Supply
Pipeline, from San Mateo County, across the County-line and into San Francisco,
through Lake Merced Pump Station and into the Lake Merced wet well. A 16-inch
pipeline connection on the suction side of Sunset Pump No.2 allows for deliveries of
water to the wet well (see Figure 2). Water deliveries from the Regional Water
System to Lake Merced are considered County-line deliveries and an in-City usage in
the calculation of water allocation rates.
Water usage by the City includes water deliveries from the SFPUC's "terminal
reservoirs." The terminal reservoirs are: I) Sunset Reservoir, 2) University Mound Reservoir,
and 3) Merced Manor Reservoir. The terminal reservoirs are shown on Figure L
c. System Input and In-Line Meters
4
March 11, 2009
The SFPUC presently measures water flow into and through the Regional System
utilizing "System Input and In-Line Meters." The existing and planned System Input and In-
Litie Meters are listed in Table 3 and shown on Figure 3.
d. w'holesale Customer Meters and City Retail Customer Meters Located Outside
theBoundaries of the City
The SFPUC presently measures water deliv~ries from the Regional Water System to its
Wholesale Customers at various locations where the water delivery systems of the individual
W1lOlesale Customers tie into the Regional Water System. The meters at these locations are
referred to as the Wholesale Customers' "master meters." The SFPUC also measures water
deliveries from the Regional Water System to other customers located outside of the boundaries
of the City that are not Wholesale Customers. Water deliveries to the Wholesale Customers and
Retail Customers outside the City's boundaries that receive water from the Regional Water
System are accounted for by the SFPUC's Customer Service Division as described in Section B.
4. Replacement and Relocation of Meters, Gaug~s, and Recording Devices.
The SFPUC presently equips all of its large venturi meters with differential pressure
transmitters. The smaller meters utilize other methods and equipment to register and record
flows. The SFPUC will maintain the meters, gauges, and recording devices described above in
subsections (a), (b), (c), and (d) unless and until such meters, gauges, and recording devices are
replaced.
The SFPUC may replace the meters, gauges, and recorcling devices described above in
subsections (a), (b), (c), and Cd) or install new meters, gauges, and recording devices at new
locations, provided that such changes do not diminish the accuracy of,the water flow
measurements or impair the ability of the SFPUC to separate direct City watei' use from water
use'by the wholesale customers. Maintenance and calibration procedures for new or replaced
equipment may change. Modified maintenance and calibration procedures for new or replaced
equipment will conform to industry standards set forth in A WW A Manual M33, the applicable
5
March 1 J, 2009
standards in the International Society of Automation, and will implement the manufacturer's
instructions for maintenance and calibration. The SFPUC will provide BA WSCA with advance
written notice of any such changes, together with a brief expIanation of the reasons therefor and
a description of the type and location of the replacement. Such notice shall automatically amend
the list of meters, gauges, and recording devices set forth above in subsections (a), (b ), (c), and .
(d).
5. Recording of Water Flow Data
a Flow Data
The City shall record and maintain data measuring base water flow throughout the .
SFPUC Reg~onal Water System as necessary to detennine proportional annual water usage ..
b. Reservoir Data
The SFPUC shall record and maintain data measuring the levels of the terminal
reservoirs described above in subsection A.3.b and shown on Figure 1 on an hourly basis. Flow
values derived from reservoir level readings for all reservoirs.in the SFPUC wholesale system
shall be calculated using the tables contained in the SFPUC pUblication "Reservoir Data" (aka
"The· Weir Book"), which set forth the relationship between reservoir levels and water volumes,
as such tables may be amended from time to time to reflect changes in the volumes of the various
reservoirs. The tables to be used initially shall be those from the current edition of The Weir
Book.
SECTION B. CALCULATION OF PROPORTIONAL ANNUAL
USAGE
"B'ase rates" means the percentages of allnual SFPUC deliveries attributed to the
Wholesale Customers and to City Retail Customers,
6
March 1 I, 2009
The percentage of annual SFPUC metered deliveries attributed to the Wholesale
Customers the wholesale base rate) shall be calculated for each fiscal year as described
below and illustrated in Table 1. The item numbers listed below correspond to the item numbers
listed in Table 1.
(1) "Gross San Francisco County line base deliveries" shall equal the total amount. of
water flowing into the City's distribution system through transmission pipelines
entering the City, as measured by the County-Line Meters described in Section
A3.a. and shown on Figures 1 and 2.
(2) :'Daly City base deliveries" shall equal the water flowing to Daly City through
meter accounts provided downstream of the County-Line meters or through
SFPUC's City Distribution Division. At present these accounts are:
(a) CSPLllMacdonald Avenue Service (Account number 010084-01-
0)
(b) Guttenberg Street Service (Account number 010013-01-3)
(c) Carter Street Service (Account numb.ers 284070-01-8 and 284071-
01-6)
These accounts represent a portion of tile total deliveries to Daly City. The quantities of
water delivered to these fOUI Daly City accounts are reported monthly in Form MGT441 by
the SFPUC's Customer Service Division. These comlections to meters are presently located
within the City, and thus record water which has already been recorded by the SFPUC's
master meters at the County line. So long as this condition continues, Daly City base
deliveriesshall be subtracted from "Gross San Francisco County line base deliveries."
(3) "Net San Francisco base deliveries" shall equal the result of subtracting "Daly
City base deliveries" from "Gross San Francisco County line base deliveries."
7
March 11, 2009
(4) "Other suburban raw water base deliveries" shall equal the sum of all deliveries of
raw (untreated) water to customers of the SFPUC located outside the City other
than deliveries to the Wholesale Customers. "Other suburban raw water base
deliveries" include deliveries of raw water in Alameda and San Mateo Counties to
SFPUC Retail Customers, City departments and commissions, and other users
affiliated with San Francisco.
(5) "Other suburban treated water base deliveries" shall equal the sum of all
deliveries of treated water to customers of the SFPUC located outside the City
" other than deliveries to the Wholesale Customers. Other suburban treated water
base deliveries include deliveries of treated water t6 the SFPUC's Retail
Customers in San Mateo, Santa' Clara and Alameda Counties (such as NASA
Ames Research Center and LLNL). to City departments and commissions and
Dther.users affiliated with San Francisco (such as the San Francisco International
.Airport, the San Francisco County Jail, and tenants ofland owned by the City
Recreation and Park Department).
(6) "Other suburban base deliveries" shall equal the sum of "Other suburban raw water
deliveries" and "Other suburban treated water deliveries." The combined amount
of ra~ and treated water delivered to suburban entities other than the Wholesale
Customers is reported monthly in Form MGT440 by the SFPUC's Customer
Service Division,
(7) . "Total City base usage" shall equal "Net San Francisco base deliveries" plus
"Other suburban base deliveries."
(8) "Total wholesale base usage" shall equal the sum of all metered deliveries to the
Wholesale Customers measured at their SFPUC master meters (including all
deliveries to Daly City which are comprised of deliveries through meters located
outside San Francisco and meters located inside San Francisco, deliveries through
the latter of which are designated above in paragraph B.1.2 as "Daly City base
8
March 11,2009
deliveries"). The quantity of water delivered to the individual Wholesale
Customers, and the combined amount of water delivered to all Wholesale
Customers is reported monthly in Fol1l.l MGT440 by the SFPUC's Customer
Service Division.
(9) "Total systembase usage" shall equal "City base usage" plus "Wholesale base
usage."
(10) . "Wholesale base rate" shall equal the percentage obtained by dividing "Wholesale
base usage" by "Total system base usage."
(11) "City base rate" shall equal the percentage obtained by subtracting "Wholesale
base rate" from 100 percent.
(12). "Base system input" shall equal all amounts of water supplied to the SFPUC
Regional Water System, which presently comes from the following sources:
March 11, 2009
(a) Hetch Hetchy water as measured at the venturi meters on the 58-inch, 61~
inch, and 78.5-inch San Joaquin Pipeline Nos. 1,2, and 3 near Oakdale.
(b) Water supplied by HHWPD to LLNL as measured at the customer meter.
Water delivered from the system to LLNL shall be deemed negative in
sign for the purpose of determining "Base system input."
(c) Hetch Hetchy water pumped from the Alameda siphons to San Antonio
Reservoir as measured at the venturi meter on the 60-inch San Antonio
pipeline. Water delivered from the system to San Antonio Reservoir shall
be deemed negative in sign for the purpose of detennining "Base system
input."

(h) Crystal Springs Balancing Reservoir. The flow into or out of the Crystal
Springs Balancing Reservoir shall be calculated based on the changes in
the amounts of water stored in the reservoir. The amounts of water stored
shall be determined by the use of water level sensors, ~d the application
of water level readings to a water level-storage capacity table. Decreases
in storage, which indicate a flow from the Balancing Reservoir into the
system, shall be deemed positive in sign. Increases in storage, which
. indicate a flow into .the Balancing Reservoir from the system, shall be
deemed negative in sign. Over the period of a year, the total flows into.
and out of Crystal Springs Balancing Reservoir are nearly equivalent. As
such, total sys.tem input from Crystal Springs Reservoir shall be deemed
zero for calculating current base rates.
(i) Deliveries to Crystal Springs Reservoir as measured by the overflow weir
at the Pulgas Pump Station. Deliveries from the system to Crystal Springs
Reservoir ("spills") shall be deemed negative in sign for the purpo~e ~f
determining "Base system input."
(j) Terminal Reservoirs. The "terminal reservoirs" consist of Sunset
Reservoir, University Mound Reservoir, and Merced Manor Reservoir,
each located within the City of San Francisco. The flow into or out of the
terminal reservoirs shall be calculated based on the changes in the
amounts of water stored in them. The amounts of water stored shall be
deterrnined by the use of water level sensors, and the application of water . .
levels to water level-storage capacity tables. Over the period of a year, the
total flows into and out of terminal reservoirs are nearly equivalent. As
such, total system input from the terminal reservoirs shall be deemed zero
for calculating base rates.
(k) Other Sources. pther sources of flow into, or from, the Regional Water
System, shan be accounted for as "other sources." Examples of other . .
12
sources of system input would include intertie water deliveries between
the Regional System and the Santa Clara Valley Water District, and'
between the Regional System and the East Bay Mlmicipal Utilities
District, and deliveries of raw water from Crystal Springs Reservoir in the
event of an emergency. Flows from the system shall be, deemed negative
in sign for the purpose of detennining "Base system input."
(13) "Total base system input" shall equal the sum of the system inputs from the
sources described in paragraph B.1.12 ..
(14) "loint system loss reduction factor" shall equal "Total system base usage" divided
by "Total base system input." "loint system loss reduction factor" shall not
exceed 1.0.
(15) "Daly City reduction factor" shall equal "Net San Francisco base deliveries"
divided by "Gross San Francisco County line base deliveries." "Daly·City
reduction factor" shall not exceed 1.0.
(16) "Total suburban base deliveries') shall equal "Other suburban base deliveries"
. '.
plus "Total wholesale base usage."
'!'
(17) "Suburban reduction factor" shall equal "Wholesale base usage" divided by
"Total suburban ba'ie deliveries!' "Suburban reduction factor" shall not exceed
1.0.
(18) "HHWPD Deliveries above Oakdale" shall equal the total amount of water
March II, 2009
delivered by the HHWPD to users located above the system input meters in
Oakdale. Water users located above the system input meters in Oakdale are
. currently represented by Groveland Community Services District and the
HHWPD facility at Moccasin.
13
(J9) "HH Reduction Fador" is calculated for the purpose of determining the
Wholesale Customers' share of the Hetch Hetchy Assessment. The factor shall
equal a fraction, the numerator of which is the total system input measured at the
Oakdale meters (Table I, line 12.a) and the denominator of which is the sum of
the total system input measured at the Oakdale meters (Table I, line 12.a) plus the
total "HHWPD deliveries above Oakdale" (Table I, line 18).

SECTION D. COUNTY LINE AND IN-CITY TER.MINAL RESERVOIR METER
CALIBRATION AND MAINTENANCE
1. General
This sectIon refers only to the County-Line and In-City Terminal Reservoir Meters. The
term "meter(s)" includes the primary meter,itself (most of theprimary meters in the SFPUC's
water system are Venturi-type flow meters) as well as any and all of the associated equipment
used to measure, record, and transmit flow and water level data. The metering equipment
associated with the primary metering device (also referred to as the secondary metering
equipment) includes differential pressure transmitters, recorders, telecommunications equipment
and the portion of the SFPUC's Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System
that is used to transmit flow and water level measurements, from the water meter to the computer
terminal that records the measured data.
The County-Line and In-City Terminal Reservoir meters, their general locations, a'1d
their associated metering equipment are listed in Table 4.
2. Frequency and Type of Work to be Performed
The meters, water level sensors, and associated metering equipment are to be inspected,
tested, calibrated, and maintained according to the applicable meter calibration and maintenance
frequency specified in Table 5.
3, 'Components of the Calibration and Maintenance Work
17
March 1 J, 2009
The SFPUC will contract with an independent metering consultant to perform periodic
inspections, testing, servicing and calibrations of the meters and metering equipment for the
County-line meters and In-City Terminal Reservoirs. The metering consultant's calibration and
maintenance work will include the following components: .
• Annual Pitot Tube Tests: Pitot tube flow tests shall be performed once a year on all .
. Venturi-type flow meters. See Sections 4.b and 4.c for further detail.
• Quarterly Secondary Meter Equipment Testing and Calibration: The secondary metering
equipment shall be tested for accuracy and calibrated quarterly at five input levels (0%, 25%,
50%,75% and 100% Qfthe full range of flow). See Section 4.a for further detail.
• Cleaning: Clean and remove dust, oils, dirt, etc. from all instruments.
• Flushing: Flush and clean.Venturi tube differential pressure (DIP) sensiI!g lines ..
• Inspecting: Inspections for mechanical fatigue, leaky pipes and fittings', worn parts, and
improper operation of electrical/electronic equipment.
• Lubrication: Mechanical parts shall be lubricated as needed.
4. Calibration Procedures
The metering consultant shall continue to calibrate and maintain the County-line meters
and metering equipment listed in Table 4 in accordance with the frequency of work specified in
Table 5. The work includes documenting meter readings and accuracy before and after
calibration. Specific tasks to be completed by the metering consultant are as follows:
a) Quarterly testing and calibration. The secondary metering equipment shall be tested and
calibrated quarterly using NIST Traceable test equipment, and a "dead weight tester."
18
March II, 2009
The system loop error for the secondary metering equipment is determined by connecting
its output to the differential pressure transmitter and adjusting the dead weight tester to 5
places over the full range of flow: 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%, while all instruments
in the loop are connected. For water level transmitters, provide simulated test head equal
to full range of the transmitter being calibrated, comparing the simulated test head to its
4-20 milliamp ~utput signal to determine transmitter error and calibration requirements.
The system loop error for the secondary metering equipment may not exceed +/-2%. The
individual components of the secondary metering equipment shall also be te~ted at the
same 5 input levels and calibrated as necessary to ensure the error of the system and
individual components does not exceed +/-2%.
b) Annual Pitot Tube Testing and Calibration. Annual Pitot tube testing shall be conducted
for a comparison of flow totalized by the Pitot tube test equipment and the totalizer used
by the SFPUC for water measurement and billing purposes. Annual Pitot tube flow
testing shall be performed on all flow meters for assessment of Venturi error using the
Annubar continuous flow method at 22%ofthe pipe radius. Pitot tube flow testing must
be conducted continuously for a minimum of 30 minutes per test.
The Pitot tube flow tests are fIrst performed before any of the secondary metering
, ,
instruments are calibrated to determine the total ,system error (system consisting of the
, primary metering device and secondary metering equipment). Once the total system loop'
error has been established, perform secondary loop instrument testing and calibration as
per the quarterly testing and calibration procedures described in 4,a above. If the total
system error exceeds +/-2% after calibration of the secondary metering equipment,
minor adjustments to the differentiai pressure transmitter shall be made to correct
(calibrate) the error in the Venturi meter. Repeat Pitot tube testing must be performed
after the individual instrument calibration and differential pressure.1ransmitter
adjustments have been performed to establish that total system loop error is within +/-
2%.
19
March 1 1, 2009
c) Pitot tube testing shall be conducted at a flow rate representing the typical flow for the
. meter (and, if operationally possible, at tllree different flows ranging from a minimum to
near maximum capacity flow).
d) The metering consultant shall perform the meter testing and calibration procedures
utilizing the meter charaCteristic curves (for example, ilie pressure drop vs. flow for a
Venturi meter) iliat have been obtained during previous meter calibratiQn and
maintenance work.
e) During each quarterly site viSit, ilie metering consultant shall inspect, assess and
document ilie condition of all metering equipment, including meter, gauges, indicators,
recorders, transmitters and other instrumentation, used in the measurement and recording
offlow rates and cumulative flow totals and shall document all operational problems with.
the calibration instruments and meters during the calibration process. Problems may
include air entrainment, leakage, flow disturbance and unstable meter readings.
f) Prior to each quarterly site visit, the metering consultant shall review prior calibration
records and reports for each meter to determine if previously-identified errors or
equipment deficiencies were corrected as previously recommended.
g) Each quarter, the metering consultant shall sUbmit a fInal report (See Section 6)
containing all of the calibration results for each meter tested and calibrated during ilie
quarter. The metering consultant's report shall includ e a narrative description of the
work conducted on each meter and meter calibration reports for the individual metering
equipment. The quarterly report shall also address deficiencies iliat were not previously
corrected according to the recommendations made in the prior report.
5, Calibration Instruments
The instrument used for flow testing of the primary meter (Venturi) must meet the
accuracy standards required by ilie American Water Works Association (A WWA), and be
20
March J l, 2009
capable of measuring actual flows with an error ofless than +/-2%. If a particular calibration
instrument is not rated for accuracy by the A WW A, its accuracy will be determined by reference
to its manufacturer's representations as to accuracy.
6. Calibration Reports
Within fourteen (14) working days after the beginning of each quarter, the metering
consultant shall submit a written progress report of the work performed during the previo.us
quarter. Each quarterly report will describe the results of the meter calibrations and any other
tasks performed. The report will also include comments regarding any observations of abnormal
conditions and any recommendations regarding these meters and their related equipment.
The reports must include complete descriptions and status of meters and related
equipment, dates and times of service. all calibration specifics, pipeline dimensions, range of
flow rates and totalized volumes, before and after error analysis and accuracy levels achieved,
testing equipment used, and the narne(s) of the person(s) that performed the work.
When appropriate and necessary, the metering consultant shall provide recommendations
for improving the accuracy and reliability of the equipment and/or the methods of data
collection. If, in the opinion of the metering consultant, the condition of a meter or its associated
metering equipment is found to be defective, damaged, or otherwise in need of immediate repair
or replacement, t.he metering consultant shall: 1) promptly notify the appropriate SFPUC
, .
personnel of the problem and recommend a solution to the problem so that the SFPUC can
determine how to address it and, 2) include the problem description in its quarterly report.

SUMMARY REPORT ON NEW WATER SUPPLY AGREEMENT
INTRODUCTION
This report was prepared at the request of the Bay Area Water Supply and
Conservation Agency (BAWSCA). Its purpose is to provide a summary of the major provisions
in the new Water Supply Agreement which BAWSCA has negotiated with representatives of the
San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC or Commission) and which was approved
by the Commission on April 28, 2009.
In 1984, San Francisco and all of its wholesale customers entered into a "Settlement
Agreement and Master Water Sales Contract, n the term of which was 25 years and which will
expire on June 30, 2009. This is a lengthy document which was executed in multiple identical
counterparts by San Francisco and each of its wholesale customers. It was titled a "Settlement
Agreement" because it settled a lawsuit bro~ght by several of the wholesale customers against
San Francisco, which is described in the opinion in Palo Alto v. San Francisco (9th Cir. 1977)
548 F.2d 1374, decided by the United States Court of Appeal for the Ninth Circuit
The 1984 Settlement Agreement and Master Water Sales Contract was negotiated by
the Bay Area Water Users Association (a less formal predecessor to BAWSCA) with support
from attorneys, engineering consultants, municipal financial consultants, and CPAs.
A similar approach has been taken in preparation of the new Agreement. In 2006,
BAWSCA offered its services as negotiator of the new Agreement. The governing boards of all
27 wholesale customers adopted resolutions delegating that authority and prescribing the
parameters of that delegation. BAWSCA has conducted the negotiations with the SFPUC
starting in 2007. The negotiating team has been led by Art Jensen, BAWSCA's General
Manager/CEO. Mr. Jensen holds a Ph.D. in engineering from Cal Tech and has spent his
career consulting for, and managing, urban water agencies. He has been assisted by
BAWSCA's staff engineer Nicole Sand kulla, and staff financial analyst John Ummel, as well as
1680730.7
by independent engineering, financial and accounting consultants.' Attorneys at Hanson
Bridgett have served as legal counsel to the BAWSCA negotiating team and were the principal
drafters of the Agreement. Bud Wendell has provided strategic guidance at critical junctures.
The Agreement's Introductory Statement provides that both San Francisco and its
wholesale customers "share a commitment to the Regional Water System providing a reliable
supply of high quality water at a fair price and achieving these goals in an environmentally
sustainable manner." Part One, Sections A, B, C and H of this report cover proviSions in the
new Agreement which address water supply reliability. Part One, Section D focuses on the
Agreement's provisions related to water quality. Part Two covers the considerable portion of the
new Agreement designed to ensure that the capital and operating costs of the regional water
system are fairly allocated between San Francisco's retail customers and the wholesale
customers. Finally, Part One, Sections E and F.2 summarize provisions in the Agreement
explicitly addressing water conservation and use of alternative local sources of water. 2
PART ONE
WATER SUPPLY (Articles 3 and 4 of Agreement)
A. Quantity
1. SU12l2ly Assurance Reconfirmed. The Agreement reconfirms San
Francisco's perpetual commitment to deliver 184 million gallons per day (MGD), on an annual
average basis, to the wholesale customers collectively, other than San Jose and Santa Clara
(the "Supply Assurance"). It also preserves the wholesale customers' claim that San Francisco
Engineering support has been provided by Allan Richards, P.E., with Stetson Engineers. Financial
support has been provided by Dan Cox and David Brodsly, both with KNN Financial, and by John
Farnkopf, with HF&H Consultants. Assistance on accounting/auditing aspects of the Agreement has
been provided by Steve Mayer, CPA, and Jeff Pearson, CPA, with Burr, Pilger & Mayer, LLP.
2 In addition, Part One, Section G describes the mechanics through which the SFPUC intends to
implement the Commission's decision in October 2008 to impose a limit on deliveries to 265 MGD
through 2018 and to enforce the interim supply limitations assigned to individual agencies through
Environmental Enhancement Surcharges.
2 1680730.7
is obligated to provide water over and above the Supply Assurance, as well as San Francisco's
denial of that obligation.
2. Allocation of Supply Assurance Incorporated. The Agreement also
incorporates and formally reconfirms the allocation of the collective 184 MGD Supply Assurance
among the wholesale customers which was effected under the 1984 Contract (partly through
triennial "vesting" and then by unanimous agreement of all agencies in 1994). The Agreement
includes, as an attachment, a list of the individual "Supply Guarantees" for each of the 24
wholesale customers that currently have one.3
3. Transferability of Supply Guarantees. The Agreement allows wholesale
customers to transfer, on a permanent basis, portions of their individual Supply Guarantees
among themselves. These transfers are subject to only very limited San Francisco oversight to
ensure Raker Act compliance and adequate physical capacity of the San Francisco regional
system to deliver the additional water to the transferee agency.
B. Reliability
1. WSIP Completion. The Agreement commits San Francisco to complete
the Water System Improvement Program (WSIP) approved by the Commission in October 2008
by 2015.4 In addition, the Agreement obligates San Francisco to provide full public review and
opportunity for wholesale customers to comment on any proposed changes to the WSIP that
would delay completion or delete projects. Finally, the staff of the SFPUC will meet and confer
3 These quantified supply guarantees will remain subject to pro rata reduction if and when collective use
exceeds 184 MGD due to growth in demand, in order to preserve Hayward's claimed entitlement under
its 1962 contract and the overall limit on San Francisco's commitment of 184 MGD. The Agreement
will also preserve other agencies' reservation of their right to challenge this reduction.
4 This commitment is conditional on SFPUC's completion of all CEQA analysis and documentation
required for the individual facilities that collectively comprise the WSIP. It is also made subject to a
"force majeure" clause that excuses both SFPUC and the wholesale customers from delays in
performance, or failure to perform, due to "acts of God" and other circumstances not the fault of, and
beyond the control of, the affected party that make performance impossible or extremely impracticable.
3 1680730.7
with BAWSCA before proposing to the Commission any changes in scope that would reduce the
ability of the regional system to meet level of service goals adopted by the Commission.
2. System Maintenance. The Agreement requires the SFPUC to keep the
regional system in good working order and repair, consistent with prudent utility practice.
SFPUC will prepare and publish bi-annual reports on the "State of the Regional System," will
cooperate with any audits of system repair/maintenance conducted by BAWSCA, will consider
the findings of such audits, and will provide responses, including reasons why any audit
recommendations were not adopted.
3. "Water First." The Agreement commits the SFPUC to continue its "water
first" policy, i.e., operating the Hetch Hetchy reservoirs in a manner that gives higher priority to
delivery of water to the Bay Area, and to environmental values, than to electric power
generation. It leaves day-to-day operational decisions up to the SFPUC.
C. Shortages
1. Drought. The Agreement continues the allocation of water between San
Francisco and the wholesale customers which was agreed to in 2000 and memorialized as "Tier
Oneil of the Interim Water Shortage Allocation Plan. The provisions of the Plan that allow
wholesale customers to "bank" drought allocations and to transfer them are continued, while
some of the procedures and schedules contained in the Plan have been updated. The "Tier
Two" allocation of water among the wholesale customers themselves, scheduled to expire on
June 30, 2009, is not made a part of the new Agreement with San Francisco. The SFPUC,
however, is obligated to honor any new allocation agreed to by the wholesale customers, either
unanimously or through BAWSCA.
2. Disaster. The Agreement requires the SFPUC to distribute water on an
equitable basis after an earthquake or other natural disaster. The SFPUC response to disasters
is to be guided by the Emergency Response and Recovery Plan (ERRP) adopted by the
4 1680730.7
SFPUC, the fundamental principles of which are incorporated into the Agreement itself. The
ERRP is to be periodically reviewed and may be amended by the Commission. SFPUC staff
will be required to provide 30 days notice to the wholesale customers of any proposal to amend
the ERRP, along with the text of the proposed amendments.
3. localized Reductions. Provisions in the existing 1984 Contract governing
localized shortages due to isolated damage or system repairs are continued.
4. Wheeling. The Agreement allows for BAWSCA and/or wholesale
customers to "wheel" water from outside sources through the SFPUC regional system during
periods of shortage, subject to provisions regarding water quality impacts and cost
reimbursement.
D. Water Quality
1. Meet Safe Drinking Water Act Standards; Notice. The Agreement
commits the SFPUC to deliver treated water meeting federal and state primary drinking water
standards: maximum contaminant levels (MCl's) and treatment techniques. The next update of
the SFPUC Water Quality Notification and Communication Plan will include expanded coverage
of secondary MCl exceedances. The SFPUC will provide notice to wholesale customers of any
exceedance concurrently with notice provided to operators of the In-City retail distribution
system.
2. Joint Water Quality Committee. A Water Quality Committee will be
established, composed of a representative from the SF PUC and from each wholesale customer.
The committee will meet at least quarterly to collaboratively address water quality issues. The
Committee's Chair and Vice Chair will rotate between SFPUC and the wholesale customers.
5 1680730.7
E. Conservation
1. Wholesale Customers. The Agreement commits the wholesale
customers to take actions, within their legal authority, regarding water conservation that are
necessary to ensure that the SF PUC remains eligible to receive state and federal grants and
other financial assistance and to participate in the State Drought Water Bank.
2. SFPUC Support for BAWSCA Conservation Programs. The Agreement
commits the SFPUC to collect a "water management charge," if and when such a charge is
established by the BAWSCA board of directors, and to remit those funds to BAWSCA to support
regional water conservation measures and development of alternative supplies approved by the
BAWSCA board of directors.
3. The "Green Option" to be Explored. The Agreement commits San
Francisco to work with BAWSCA to explore ways to support water conservation and recycling in
locations outside the Bay Area. This will include a particular focus on agricultural conservationl
efficiency projects of the type described in the "Green Option," recommended by BAWSCA in its
comments on the Program Environmental Impact Report on the WSIP, which can benefit the
Tuolumne River.
F. Operational Issues
1. Service Areas. The Agreement continues existing restrictions on sales of
water outside wholesale customers' service areas.s It clarifies and continues the existing
contract provisions regarding expansion of service areas (SF PUC approval is needed, but
cannot be withheld unreasonably) and sales to other wholesale customers (pre-approved in
emergencies; otherwise SFPUC approval is needed, but cannot be withheld unreasonably) .
. 5 The service area maps will be updated and attached to each agency's new individual Water Sales
Contract. (Each wholesale customer has, and will continue to have, two contracts with San Francisco.
One is the lengthy Water Supply Agreement which is identical for each agency. The other is a much
shorter document that addresses the specifics for each agency: its service area map, connections to
the regional water system. interties with neighboring agencies, etc.)
6 1680730.7
2. Use of Local Sources. The Agreement extends the "best efforts"
commitment to use of local sources to the SFPUC as well as the wholesale customers. Local
sources include surface water, groundwater and available recycled water. The contractual
obligation is subject to considerations of economic feasibility and the environmental and water
supply reliability impacts of using these local sources.
3. Purchases from Third Parties; "Take or Pay" for Dual Source Agencies.
The Agreement continues the prohibition on purchases from other sources if the SFPUC is able
and willing to supply all water needed. It also expands exceptions to this prohibition by making
it inapplicable to purchases of recycled water. In other words, wholesale customers that do not
have direct access to a source of recycled water -i.e., a sewage treatment plant -may
purchase from those that do.
The Agreement also allows the "dual source" agencies (Alameda County Water
District, Milpitas, Mountain View, and Sunnyvale) to continue purchases from other suppliers,
such as the California Department of Water Resources and the Santa Clara Valley Water
District, subject to a required minimum purchase from SFPUC. These minimum "take or pay"
commitments have each been reduced by five percent from current levels. Minimum purchase
requirements in San Jose's and Santa Clara's current individual contracts are to be deleted in
their new individual contracts. Also, the new Agreement makes clear that wholesale customers
are not obligated to purchase water from SFPUC in amounts larger than their individual Supply
Guarantees.
G. Interim Limit of 184 MGD Through 2018
1. No Decision by SF on Increase in Supply Assurance until 2018. The
Agreement recognizes the SFPUC's unilateral decision made last October to defer any
consideration of an increase in the 184 MGD Supply Assurance until 2018. It requires the
SFPUC to make that decision by December 2018, after completing necessary cost analyses
and CEQA evaluation/documentation. The Agreement does not constitute concurrence by
7 1680730.7
wholesale customers in SFPUC's limitation and also preserves the wholesale customers' claim
that they are legally entitled to water in excess of 184 MGD.
2. Interim Limit on Sales until 2018. In October 2008, San Francisco
independently established a self-imposed limit on sales of water from surface watersheds to 265
MGD until 2018. At the same time. it also established subsidiary limits of (a) 81 MGD for City
retail customers and (b) 184 MGD for all 27 wholesale customers, including San Jose and
Santa Clara.
Another element of this limitation. also adopted by the SFPUC in October 2008,
is a schedule for allocating the 184 MGD interim limit among all wholesale customers: those
allocations will be decided on by the Commission in December 2010.6
The SFPUC also decided last October that it will enforce these interim limitations
through an "environmental enhancement surcharge" to be applied to purchases over 81 MGD
(by City retail customers) or over the individual limitations assigned to each of the 27 wholesale
customers. if and when total use exceeds 265 MGD.
The Agreement recognizes all of these decisions and provides procedural rules
for establishing the interim limitations and surcharges and for the use of funds generated by the
surcharges. It also allows wholesale customers to transfer portions of these interim limits
among themselves, again subject to very limited SFPUC oversight. But it does not constitute
wholesale customers' concurrence in the interim limitations themselves and preserves
wholesale customers' ability to challenge the limitations assigned to them, and the imposition of
surcharges, in court.
Some of the mechanics that are included in the Agreement include:
• The amount of the environmental surcharge will be established by the SFPUC
during the spring of 2011 and the surcharges will become operative in
FY 2011-12.
B These allocations are entirely distinct from the permanent "Supply Guarantees." For example, they will
apply to all 27 agencies, will last only until 2018, and their only purpose is to determine when the
surcharge described in the immediately following paragraph in the text will apply.
8 1680730.7
• Whether or not to levy the surcharge will be determined after the close of
each fiscal year and will apply only if total sales during that year exceeded
265 MGD.
• If the 265 MGD threshold is exceeded, then the surcharge will apply only to
wholesale customers that purchased more than their interim limitation, and
only to quantities in excess of that limitation. The amount due would be
determined after the close of each fiscal year (beginning with FY 2011-12)
and would be paid in equal monthly installments over the balance of the
following fiscal year (beginning with FY 2012-13).
• Funds raised by the surcharge will be deposited in a restricted reserve fund,
not subject to transfer to the SF General Fund, and will be expended only on
environmental enhancement measures in the SFPUC's Sierra and local
watersheds. (Surcharges are not due unless and until this restricted reserve
fund is established by ordinance of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.)
• Specific projects to which the funds will be directed will be decided by
SF PUC's General Manager and BAWSCA's General Manager/CEO, after
soliciting input from interested members of the public, including environmental
groups.
3. Status of San Jose and Santa Clara. The Agreement provides that both
cities will remain temporary and interruptible customers until 2018. The maximum amount that
the SFPUC will deliver to them collectively until 2018 is 9 MGD. Their interim limitations,
described in the preceding section, when assigned in December 2010, may be lower. SF PUC
water may be used only within the two cities' existing service areas (the northern portions of
each city).
• Starting in December 2010, the SFPUC will annually consider a report which
will include water demand projections and conservation work plans through 2018. If the SFPUC
decides, on the basis of that report, that the 265 MGD limit will not be achieved in 2018, it may
issue a conditional notice of reduction, or interruption, in supply to San Jose and Santa Clara.
• Deliveries will not be reduced or terminated until the SFPUC has completed
the required CEQA process and will not occur for the longer of (1) five years from the notice or
(2) two years from completion of the CEQA process.
9 1680730.7
• The SFPUC will decide by December 2018 whether long term supplies are
adequate to serve San Jose and Santa Clara, as well as the SF PUC's retail and other
wholesale customers and, if so, whether to make the two cities permanent customers.
H. Limits on SFPUC Taking on New Customers.
Before 2018, San Francisco may not take on any new wholesale customers
(1) until it has completed CEQA review, and (2) unless San Jose and Santa Clara are
concurrently made permanent customers and the Agreement is amended to accommodate their
addition.
After 2018, San Francisco may not take on any new wholesale customers
(1) until it has completed CEQA review, (2) unless system reliability is improved and (3) unless
San Jose and Santa Clara are made permanent customers and the Agreement amended.
San Francisco may not take on new retail customers, outside City boundaries,
except in areas adjacent to existing retail customers and no more in aggregate than 0.5 MGD
additional demand.
I. BAWSCA Involvement in SFPUC Planning for New or Alternate Supplies
If regulatory or other events impact San Francisco's ability to maintain the Supply
Assurance from its existing surface water supplies, it may develop substitute supplies, and will
collaborate with the wholesale customers in doing so. If, after 2018, San Francisco elects to
increase the Supply Assurance using water from its existing surface water supplies, it may
charge the wholesale customers in accordance with the cost allocation provisions of the
Agreement. If San Francisco seeks to develop new sources to increase the Supply Assurance,
engineering studies and ensuing water supply projects will be conducted jointly with BAWSCA
under separate agreements specifying the purpose of the project, anticipated regional benefits,
and how costs will be allocated.
10 1680730.7
PART TWO
COST (Articles 5, 6 and 7 of Agreement)
A. Overview
1. Basic Principles Unchanged. The fundamental cost allocation principles
underlying the 1984 Contract are continued in the new Agreement. These include:
• Wholesale customers should not pay for SFPUC programs/facilities that are
used only in the generationltransmission of electric power or only in the
collection/treatment of San Francisco wastewater.
• Wholesale customers should not pay for Water Enterprise programs/facilities
that benefit only SFPUC's retail water customers, both inside and outside of
San Francisco.
• Wholesale customers and City retail customers should both pay for costs of
building and operating the regional water system, from which they both
benefit.
• The costs of the regional water system which should be shared include:
o The costs of building and operating the water-related facilities in
Hetch Hetchy (e.g., the pipelines).
o An appropriate share of the costs of building and operating joint
facilities in Hetch Hetchy (e.g., the dams).
o The costs of building and operating facilities for transmission,
storage and treatment of water located in Alameda, Santa Clara,
and San Mateo Counties, and the three terminal reservoirs in San
Francisco.
o An appropriate share of costs incurred inside San Francisco, but
that benefit the regional water system (e.g., costs of various
SFPUC bureaus that support the operating departments and San
Francisco Water Enterprise's own administrative and general
costs).
• The cost of the regional water system should be divided between the City
retail customers and wholesale customers based on their proportionate
annual use of water delivered by the Regional Water System.
2. Basic Implementing Rules and Practices Unchanged or Improved. Water
usage will be determined by accurate, well-maintained and regularly-calibrated meters. The
standards for meter accuracy are now spelled out in the Agreement, as are the procedures and
schedules for maintenance and calibration of meters.
11 1680730.7
Costs will be determined by SFPUC's maintaining a system of
accounting, consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as applied to
governmental enterprises, that allows for the costs that are properly chargeable to the
wholesale customers to be separated from those that are not.
The annual amount due from all wholesale customers (the "Wholesale
Revenue Requirement") will be determined by applying the Agreement's detailed cost allocation
rules to the costs actually incurred, based on actual water usage by City retail and wholesale
customers during each fiscal year. That amount will be compared to revenues actually billed to
wholesale customers for that year. The difference will be posted to a "balancing account." If
wholesale customers were charged more than the amount calculated to have been due, the
overcharge will be entered as a credit in the balancing account. Conversely, if wholesale
customers were billed less, the undercharge will be recorded in the balancing account and may
be recovered in future years' rates. Amounts in the balancing account, whether positive or
negative, will earn interest at the same rate as SF's pooled investment funds.
3. Changes in Methodology Primarily Relate to Capital Costs. There have
been few changes in calculating and allocating operation and maintenance (lfO&M") costs.
More substantial changes have been made in the treatment of administrative and general
("A&G") costs. But these are largely efforts to simplify calculations and are not expected to
have a major impact on the Wholesale Revenue Requirement.
By contrast, the new Agreement makes significant changes in how
wholesale customers contribute to repayment of funds advanced by San Francisco to construct
capital assets. The 1984 Contract adopted the "utility method" of recovering capital
investments. Under this approach, wholesale customers paid depreciation and a return on the
net book value of assets in the rate base. The new Agreement replaces the utility method with
the "cash method" on a going-forward basis. Under this method, wholesale customers will pay
12 1680730.7
their proportionate share of SFPUC's annual debt service payments and capital improvements
funded out of revenues.
The Agreement greatly simplifies the wholesale customers' repayment of
their share of assets already built and in service as of June 30, 2009. Instead of calculating the
amount due each year, the new Agreement provides for specified level payments over 25 years.
The result will be that wholesale customers will have fully paid off their share of the existing
"rate base" (about $382 million) in 2034. rather than continuing to pay down the amount due
over the assets' useful fives -which in many cases could extend decades past that date.
Please see Section B.5 below for a more detailed description of the approach to capital costs in
the new Agreement.
In addition. the tables which appear at the end of this report. and which
are also incorporated into the Agreement itself, illustrate the ,application of the cost allocation
rules in Section B as applied to budgeted costs for the next fiscal year (FY 2009-10).
B. Individual Cost Categories
1. Operating and Maintenance ("O&M") Expenses. There are five
subcategories of O&M expenses:
(i) Source of Supply: Regional system costs will continue to be
allocated on the basis of annual proportional usage. The Agreement will reaffirm the general
principle that the location of facilities determines their classification as City Retail or Regional.
This is important since San Francisco plans to construct water recycling and groundwater
projects inside the City in the immediate future. Absent negotiated clarity in the Agreement,
those facilities could have been asserted to have value for all customers, and their costs (both
capital and operating) allocated in part to wholesale customers. The proposed South Westside
Groundwater Basin conjunctive use project (in which Cal Water, Daly City and San Bruno are
13 1680730,7
jointly participating with SFPUC) will be considered a Regional project because of the benefits it
will provide to the Regional System (Le., all customers) during drought.
Oi) Pumping: Costs of operating and maintaining pumping facilities
outside San Francisco will continue to be allocated on proportional annual usage.
(iii) Purification: Because the treatment plants are located outside the
City, all costs associated with them have been, and will continue to be, classified as Regional
and allocated on the basis of proportional annual usage. The new Agreement requires that
expenses associated with the Water Quality Division's laboratories be fairly allocated between
the Wastewater Enterprise and the Water Enterprise, with only the latter being reallocated
between City Retail and Regional customers. Also, the costs allocated will be further reduced
by revenues received for work done by the laboratories for third party customers.
(iv) Transmission and Distribution (''T&D''): The expenses in this
category are divided between City Retail and the Regional system based on geographic location
with one exception: the three in-City terminal reservoirs are considered components of the
regional system. This classification is appropriate and will continue, as will allocation of
Regional T&D costs on proportional annual use?
(v) Customer Accounts: Currently all SFPUC Customer Accounts
expenses are divided 98% to City and 2% to wholesale customers. The new Agreement
provides that only the Water Enterprise's share of Customer Accounts will be included; the cost
of Customer Accounts for Wastewater and Hetch Hetchy Water and Power will be excluded.
The 98/2 percent allocation will continue, applied to that smaller amount.
7 There will be two changes, both requested by the City. Engineering and supervision expenses incurred
outside the City, in the Water Supply and Treatment Division, are currently classified as A&G, unlike
those incurred inside the City, which are treated as City Distribution Division D&M. BAWSCA has
agreed to change the treatment so that these expenses are uniformly classified as D&M, provided that
some in-City costs currently classified as Regional A&G are reclassified as City Retail. A similar
treatment will apply to vehicle and building maintenance expenses.
14 1680730.7
2. Property Taxes. San Francisco Water Enterprise properties and
improvements in Alameda, San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties are subject to property taxes
levied by those counties. The 1984 Contract classifies 100% of these tax payments as
Regional and allocates them between City Retail and wholesale customers on the same basis
that most O&M expenses are allocated --proportional annual water use. The new Agreement
continues this, as well as the focus on net taxes; that is, tax refunds and taxes that are paid by
tenants of City properties such as golf courses will be excluded.
3. Administrative and General C'A&G"} Expenses. There are three
subcategories within this classification:
0) City Overhead: This category consists of expenses of support
services provided by the City's central services departments that are not billed directly to the
SFPUC. City overhead is allocated to the City's operating departments through the Countywide
Cost Allocation Plan ("COWCAP") prepared by the City Controller.
For technical reasons no longer relevant, the parties in 1984
adopted a surrogate dollar amount, inflated each year by the CPI, in lieu of the COWCAP. The
current contract allowed the parties to revisit this issue every five years, but both the City and
wholesale customers have been satisfied to stay with the annually-inflated "deemed overhead"
amount. The reasons for the initial adoption of the surrogate amount no longer apply.
Moreover, San Francisco presented data showing that the "deemed overhead" figure had not
allowed it to fully recover general City overhead as determined by the Controller and argued for
using the actual COWCAP figure in the future. BAWSCA agreed.
(ii) SFPUC Bureaus: This subcategory consists of support services
provided by the various SF PUC bureaus (e.g., Finance, Information Technology, Human
Resources, etc.) to the three operating departments (or "enterprises" as they are now called).
The current contract provides that SFPUC will allocate federally reimbursable costs in
15 1680730.7
accordance with an "Indirect Cost Allocation Plan" approved by the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services. Costs that are not federally reimbursable are to be allocated in
accordance with a detailed list of metrics. This arrangement is no longer functional. The
SFPUC no longer submits an Indirect Cost Allocation Plan to the federal government and hasn't
done so for many years. And the allocational metrics specified in the Contract, while
reasonable in 1984, are in many cases now out of date. BAWSCA developed an alternative
formula which uses a readily-available statistic (salaries of the three operating enterprises) to
divide bureau costs among the Water Enterprise, the Wastewater Enterprise, and the Hetch
Hetchy Water and Power Enterprise.
(iii) Water Enterprise Administrative and General: As a corollary to
the change in engineering and supervision expenses and vehicle and building maintenance
expenses described above (Section II.B.iv), costs of the City Distribution Division and the Water
Supply and Treatment Division previously included in joint A&G are now removed. Remaining
A&G expenses are primarily those associated with Water Enterprise administration.
In each of these three categories, costs that clearly provide no
benefit to the wholesale customers will be identified and excluded. The remaining costs will be
divided between City Retail and wholesale customers on one of two formulas. First, costs of
COWCAP and Water Enterprise A&G will continue to be allocated between City and wholesale
customers based on the composite O&M percentage.s Second, SFPUC Bureau Costs will be
divided between City retail and wholesale customers based on proportional annual usage.
Some of the changes to the treatment of O&M and A&G costs
described above benefit the City; others benefit the wholesale customers. Overail, they are
8 Historically. this formula has assigned between 34-37% of these costs to wholesale customers. With
the reduced amount of Customer Accounts costs included in the formula, the wholesale percentage will
increase by about 3%-5%.
16 1680730.7
estimated to increase the wholesale customer share of these costs by approximately $500,000
to $1 million annually.
4. Hetch Hetchy Non-Capital Costs. Currently. Hetch Hetchy O&M
expenses are identified as water-specific, power-specific, or joint. Wholesale customers pay no
part of power-specific costs and less than half of the joint costs. The water-specific costs and
45% of the joint costs are allocated between City and wholesale customers on the basis of
proportionate annual water use (with a minor adjustment to reflect sales of water to other
customers upstream of the Bay Area). There will be no change to these principles.
Administrative and General costs are similarly classified. Water-related
costs, including 45% of joint A&G, are again split between City and wholesale customers on the
basis of adjusted annual proportionate use. Apart from use of COWCAP, and Simplification of
one allocational step, this will continue. Hetch Hetchy's share of Customer Accounts expenses
has never been assigned to wholesale customers and will not be under the new Agreement.
Property taxes on Hetch Hetchy land and facilities were previously
allocated among water, power and joint based on detailed analysis of asset classifications. The
new Agreement will simply classify taxes as jOint, with 45% allocated to water, and the
wholesale customers' share based on adjusted annual water use.
These changes are expected to have a very minor impact on the amount
of non-capital Hetch Hetchy costs allocable to the wholesale customers.
5. Capital Costs
(i) Existing Assets: Repayment of the wholesale customers' share of
existing assets (i.e., those capitalized on or before June 30, 2009) is effectively converted from
the utility method to an amortization schedule derived from the utility method, with several
modifications:
17 1680730.7
• The current rate base will be replaced by a principal amount due (Le., the
wholesale share of the existing assets) excluding the "working capital"
allowance, about 15% of annual O&M expenses, which is permitted by the
existing Contract.
• The current depreciation will be replaced by principal repayments.
• Interest will be paid on the outstanding principal, will be fixed at 5.1%, and will
be decoupled from the variable equity rate of return allowed by the California
Public Utilities Commission --currently about 10%.
• Principal and interest will be repaid in equal annual payments over the next
25 years.
On both a nominal and present discounted value basis, the
payments by wholesale customers for their share of the current rate base (about $382 million
including both SFWD and Hetch Hetchy) will be less under this approach than under a
continuation of the 1984 Contract methodology. The fixed return also eliminates the fluctuation
in payments due to future changes in the equity rate of return allowed by the California Public
Utilities Commission.9
(ii) New Assets: Starting with FY 2009-2010, wholesale customers
will, like San Francisco retail customers, pay for capital projects on the "cash" basis.
This will mean, in practice, that wholesale customers will pay a
proportionate share of (1) debt service (Le., payment of principal and interest on SF PUC bonds
and commercial paper) related to regional system assets, and will contribute a corresponding
share of the SF PUC's "debt service coverage" obligation, and (2) capital projects in the regional
system that SFPUC pays for out of revenues on a "pay-as-you-go" basis, rather than from
borrowed funds.
In order to implement this, the new Agreement continues the
existing Contract's method for distinguishing between in-City and Regional assets. But the
9 Revenues raised from retail customers through SFPUC appropriations prior to 2009 for revenue-funded
regional projects not actually expended as of June 30, 2009 will be tracked as they are spent during the
first three years of the new Agreement. That amount will then be amortized through revel payments
over a 10-year period, at 4% interest.
18 1680730.7
allocation of differing percentages of the costs of those assets, based on usage patterns other
than annual average use, has been deleted. BAWSCA and SFPUC agreed to eliminate the
division of assets into "currenf' and "ultimate" categories and to also eliminate the "maximum
hour" and "maximum day" categories. These distinctions were insisted on by San Francisco in
1984 and have added considerable complexity to the calculation of each year's Wholesale
Revenue Requirement. Dispensing with them substantially reduces the number of categories of
regional system assets and will simplify administration of the new Agreement, without
Significantly changing the overall allocation of costs.
Debt service "coverage" is the ratio of annual net revenues (and
other qualifying funds) to annual debt service payments. Revenue bond indentures typically
include a covenant by the issuer to maintain a minimum Debt Service Coverage ("DSC") ratio.
The higher the ratio, the more security for repayment is provided to the bondholders, which aids
in achieving lower borrowing costs, which in turn benefits all system users.
The 2006 Series A Water Revenue Bonds indenture has a 1.25
minimum DSC covenant: net revenues and available fund balances must be at least 1.25 times
the annual debt service payment due. The new Agreement includes a proportionate
contribution to maintaining required coverage in the calculation of revenues for which wholesale
customers are responsible. Wholesale payments in excess of debt service itself will be
allocated to a reserve fund balance. Interest earned on the fund will be credited to wholesale
customers. The Coverage Reserve is also expected to satisfy wholesale customers' share of
the Water Enterprise's working capital requirements.
The wholesale customers will also contribute their share (based
on annual proportional water use) towards new regional system capital projects paid for out of
revenues. SFPUC considers the San Francisco Charter to require that it have funds on hand
sufficient to pay for a project before it awards a construction contract. Under the cash method,
19 1680730.7
rates for both San Francisco retail customers and wholesale customers will be set based on
annual appropriations fixed by the Commission in its budget, rather than on amounts
subsequently expended. As with the debt service coverage issue, wholesale revenues used for
revenue-funded capital projects will be transferred to a restricted reserve, interest on which will
be credited to the wholesale customers. And at five year intervals, surplus accumUlations in the
fund (i.e., those neither spent nor formally encumbered) will be transferred to the wholesale
customers' credit in the balancing account.
C. Rates and Balancing Account
1. Rates and Rate Structure. The requirements in the current Contract for
the SFPUC to provide budget information; an explanation of how rates for the upcoming fiscal
year have been calculated, and advance notice of Commission action on rates will all be
continued. The current Contract has allowed the SFPUC considerable latitude in establishing
the structure of wholesale rates --that is, the relationship among the various components of the
rate schedule (e.g., meter service charge, consumption charge, etc.). The Contract did require
that the rate structure not be arbitrary, unreasonable or unjustly discriminatory as among the
wholesale customers. This same approach is continued in the new Agreement. In addition, the
new Agreement also provides for longer advance notice of any proposed changes in rate
structure, together with an analysis of how the proposed change would affect different groups of
wholesale customers and an ample opportunity for wholesale customers to comment on the
proposals before they are presented to the Commission by SFPUC staff.
2. Balancing Account. The new Agreement retains the annual reconciliation
between the amount due from wholesale customers (applying the formulas in the Agreement to
actual costs and actual water sales) and the amount actually charged to wholesale customers.
The difference will then be added to or subtracted from --a "balancing account" which will
earn interest and which can be taken into account in setting rates for future years. The 1984
Contract was, in retrospect, overly rigid in requiring the balancing account to be ·zeroed out" as
20 1680730.7
soon as possible, which in turn led to excessive fluctuations in wholesale rates, as one
correction created a need for an offsetting correction in a subsequent year. The new
Agreement allows far more flexibility in dealing with the annual variances than the 1984
Contract did. For example, "positive" balances (those in favor of the wholesale customers) will
in general be held as a rate stabilization account; and "negative" balances (those in favor of
SFPUC) may be drawn down over three years rather than one. If a significant positive balance
develops and persists for three years, wholesale customers may, through BAWSCA, direct that
some or all of the credit be applied to one of several purposes, such as paying off existing
assets more quickly.
D. Accounting and Auditing
The current Contract requires the SFPUC to maintain a rigorous accounting
system and to carefully calculate and clearly document each year the annual Wholesale
Revenue Requirement. That calculation is then audited by an independent CPA, in accordance
with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards, which then issues its own "compliance audit"
report. All these protections for wholesale customers will be retained. Some procedural
requirements have been simplified, but a new provision has been added requiring SFPUC
senior management to personally take responsibility for the SFPUC's calculation of the
accuracy of the annual Wholesale Revenue Requirement.
PART THREE
ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
A. Term (Section 2.01)
The new Agreement will have a term of 25 years, running from July 1, 2009 to
June 30, 2034. It may be extended for one, or two, additional five-year periods with the consent
of the SFPUC and wholesale customers representing at least two-thirds in number and seventy-
five percent (75%) of wholesale customers' water use. If a wholesale customer does not want
21 1680730.7
to remain a party to the Agreement as extended, it cannot be compelled to do so by the decision
of other wholesale customers.
B. Unanimous Participation Not Necessary (Section 2.02)
The Agreement assumes that all 27 wholesale customers will sign it, as well as
an individual water sales contract (with the exception of Hayward, which will continue its 1962
contract in force). However, it does not require 100% participation to become effective. So long
as 21 or more wholesale customers, representing collectively 75% or more of water use in
2007-08, have signed both agreements by September 1, San Francisco may waive the
requirement of unanimity, at which point the Agreement will become effective for all agencies
that have signed .10
C. Amendments to Agreement (Section 2.03)
The 1984 Contract is extremely difficult to amend, requiring concurrence by a
~ large super-majority of wholesale customers. BAWSCA agrees with the SFPUC's
suggestion that some aspects of the new Agreement should be somewhat easier to amend.
However, super-majorities, in terms of both the number of agencies (two-thirds) and the
percentage of water purchased (75%), continue to be required to amend basic provisions.
Amendments affecting an individual agency's "fundamental rights" under the Agreement cannot
be adopted without the approval of that agency.
D. Delegation of Administrative Tasks to BAWSCA (Section 8.04)
When the 1984 Contract was negotiated, there was no durable, representative
organization which could be delegated responsibility to act as agent for contract administration
on behalf of the wholesale customers. BAWSCA's predecessor, the Bay Area Water Users
Association (BAWUA), was at that point simply an unincorporated association, governed entirely
10 The number necessary to constitute 2/3rds of the total may drop to 20 if California Water Service
Company's (Cal Water) acquisition of the assets of Skyline County Water District closes before
June 30, 2009, thereby reducing the total number of wholesale customers from 27 to 26.
22 1680730.7
by city and water agency staff. For that reason, the 1984 Contract provided for a variety of
administrative decisions to be made by five "Suburban Representatives" --agencies to be
chosen by all BAWUA members or, absent a selection, the five largest agencies. In practice,
the default option became the rule and for the past 25 years decisions about financial aspects of
the contract, including the annual audit of the Wholesale Revenue Requirement, and initiation of
arbitration, have been formally made by staff members of the five largest agencies, supported
by BAWUA staff and consultants.
With BAWSCA's formation in 2002, wholesale customers have available a
significantly better alternative to attend to a number oftechnical but important matters, many of
which will require oversight and decisions each year. As a regional government agency, whose
board of directors is comprised largely of elected officials, and with a capable professional staff,
BAWSCA is both durable and well prepared to assume responsibility for many of these
administrative tasks. The new Agreement takes advantage of this development by assigning
the tasks previously handled by the Suburban Representatives to BAWSCA. It also enables the
BAWSCA board of directors to amend several technical attachments to the Agreement, such as
those describing the details of water meter maintenance/calibration, and financial reporting.
E. Annual Meeting with SFPUC Senior Management (Section 8.03)
Annual meetings of SFPUC senior management with the wholesale customers
will be continued, covering topics such as water supply conditions and outlook, capital projects
under construction and planned, forecasts of wholesale water purchases and rates, etc. The
awkward and inaccurate name given to them in the 1984 Contract (Suburban Advisory Group,
or "SAG") will be omitted. The new Agreement also establishes other avenues for
communication between the SFPUC and the wholesale customers. One is the Water Quality
Committee mentioned previously. Another is a commitment by the SFPUC to send
representatives to the BAWSCA Technical Advisory Committee, if and when requested.
23 1680730.7
F. Dispute Resolution; Limitations on Damages (Section 8.01; Section 8.14)
The existing Contract requires that disputes related to the calculation of the
Wholesale Revenue Requirement be resolved through mandatory binding arbitration. This will
be continued. The length of time within which arbitration must be initiated has been shortened
from 18 months after the delivery of the Compliance Auditor's report to 12 months. Disputes
over other matters, such as water supply, may be presented to a court.
The Agreement limits all parties' exposure to (as well as their entitlement to)
damages for breach of contract to "general damages" -those which are clearly foreseeable.
There are no corresponding limits on recovery of tort damages.
G. Special Provisions for Some Agencies (Article 9 of Agreement)
Article 9 of the 1984 Contract contained provisions for 12 agencies which had
one or another unique situation not shared by other wholesale agencies, but important enough
to warrant inclusion in the overall Contract to insure that all parties were aware of, and
consented to, these particularized arrangements. The reasons for special treatment of several
agencies in 1984 (including ACWD, Coastside, and Daly City) no longer exist. However, the
new Agreement continues to include individual sections applying to Brisbane/GVMID,
Cal Water, Estero Municipal Improvement District, Hayward, Hillsborough, San Jose, Santa
Clara and Stanford. The provisions in the sections applicable to Estero and San Jose/Santa
Clara merit brief discussion.
1. Estero Municipal Improvement District. Estero's 1961 contract has a term
of 50 years, rather than the typical 25 years. As a result, it will not expire until July 1, 2011.
Accommodating to this, the 1984 Contract provides that Estero's individual Supply Guarantee
will be based on its water purchases from SFPUC in the last calendar year of the old Contract--
i.e.,2010. Estero has proposed an alternative approach to fixing its permanent Supply
Guarantee: adopting a fixed amount now, and specifying that amount in the new Agreement,
24 1680730.7
rather than waiting to see what occurs in 2010. The amount proposed is 5.9 MGD, about 0.3
MGD more than Estero's recent use. Substantial support for, and no opposition to, this
proposal was voiced at a meeting of the official representatives of the wholesale customers held
in mid-March. Accordingly, it is included in the new Agreement.
2. San Jose and Santa Clara. San Jose and Santa Clara have never had
individual Supply Guarantees, because of their status as temporary customers. The new
Agreement does not provide them Supply Guarantees. It does, however, commit SFPUC to
supply them up to 9 MGD through 2018, subject to various contingencies.11 The Water Supply
Agreement does not allocate the 9 MGD cap between the two cities. That decision will be made
solely by San Jose and Santa Clara; other wholesale customers are not involved. Once made,
the decision will be incorporated in each city's individual Water Sales Contract with the SFPUC.

The two following pages are copies of two attachments
to the new Water Supply Agreement They are high-
level summaries, illustrating the application of the cost-
allocation principles in the Water Supply Agreement to
a particular year --in this case, FY 2009-10.
The first page (Attachment N-2, Schedule 1) shows the
calculation of the overall Wholesale Revenue
Requirement ($140,994,733), which includes
$28,903,512 attributable to the Hetch Hetchy Water and
Power Enterprise. This schedule also shows the
amount to be contributed to the Wholesale Debt
Service Coverage Reserve ($4,488,233) in FY 2009-10.
The second page (Attachment N-2, Schedule 4)
provides details showing how the $28,903,512 Hetch
Hetchy component was calculated.
The dollar values and water use percentages shown in
these schedules are merely estimates. The schedules
are intended to be illustrative, rather than predictive.
However, they may be of assistance when reading Part
Two of the Summary Report, which describes the
Agreement's cost-allocation principles and formulas.

Bay Area Water Supply & Conservation Agency
Frequently Asked Questions
about the
Water Supply Agreement
Between the City and County of San Francisco
and
ATT ACHMENT H
Wholesale Customers in Alameda, San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties
THE AGREEMENT
Who are the parties to the Water Supply Agreement?
The City and County of San Francisco and the 27 cities, water districts and privately
owned water agencies that purchase water from San Francisco on a wholesale basis
and distribute it to over 1.7 million residents, 30,000 businesses and thousands of
community organizations in Alameda, Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties. These 27
agencies are called "Wholesale Customers."
Who negotiated the agreement?
All 27 Wholesale Customers that buy water from San Francisco are members of the
Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA), and authorized
BAWSCA to negotiate the Agreement with San Francisco on their behalf.
What is the purpose of the Water Supply Agreement?
To ensure that San Francisco provides a reliable supply of high quality water at a fair
price to the customers outside San Francisco.
Who has to approve it?
The Agreement must be approved by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission,
which did approve it on April 28, 2009. In addition, it must be approved by the governing
body of any Wholesale Customer who wants to participate in the Agreement.
How long will the new agreement last?
The new Agreement has a term of 25 years. It may be extended for one or two five-year
periods with the consent of the SFPUC and Wholesale Customers.
Is there an existing agreement? When does it expire?
The existing agreement, called the Settlement Agreement and Master Water Sales
Contract, was signed in 1984 and expires June 30, 2009.
155 Bovet Road, Suite 302, • San Mateo, CA 94402 • ph 6503493000 • fx 650349 8395 • www.bawsca.org
WATER SUPPLY
How much water do the agencies outside San Francisco get under this
agreement?
San Francisco has made a perpetual commitment to provide the 25 permanent
Wholesale Customers collectively up to 184 million gallons per day (mgd), on an annual
average basis. The cities of San Jose and Santa Clara are not permanent customers
and are not included in this amount. The Agreement preserves the Wholesale
Customers' claim that San Francisco is obligated to provide water over and above this
amount, and San Francisco's denial of that obligation.
How much water would San Jose and Santa Clara receive?
The cities of San Jose and Santa Clara are currently temporary and interruptible
customers of the San Francisco regional water system. They are able to purchase
surplus water from San Francisco. These two cities currently purchase a combined total
of about 9 mgd. Under the new agreement, San Francisco would provide San Jose and
Santa Clara up to 9 mgd until the year 2018, but they would continue to be temporary
and interruptible customers.
Will the water agencies outside receive as much water as they are projecting to
need?
No. The agencies will be about 11 mgd short of their projections. In 2004 the 27
Wholesale Customers projected they would need to purchase 195 mgd of water from
San Francisco in 2018. This amount of water supplements their use of other sources of
water and already includes their commitment to 11 mgd of new water conservation plus
9 mgd of recycled water. In October 2008, San Francisco imposed a limit on sales of
water to its Retail and Wholesale Customers of 265 mgd until at least 2018: a limit of 81
mgd on sales to San Francisco Retail Customers, and a limit of 184 mgd on sales to
Wholesale Customers. This action leaves the 27 Wholesale Customers 11 mgd short of
their projected needs in 2018. For their communities to continue to prosper as planned,
they will now have to double the amount of new water conservation and recycled water
between now and 2018.
Who will provide reliable water supplies for the future of our communities?,
BAWSCA and its member agencies are developing a plan to save a total of 22 mgd
before 2018 through additional conservation and water recycling and are planning to
take on the challenge of preparing a longer-term plan to establish reliable water
supplies past 2018.

WATER SUPPLY, cont'd.
Where does San Francisco get its water?
San Francisco currently obtains water from watersheds in San Mateo County, Alameda
and Santa Clara Counties and the Hetch Hetchy watershed in the Sierra Mountains. An
average, 85 percent of the system's water originates in the Sierra Mountains and flows
to the Bay Area by gravity, requiring much less energy for pumping than most water
systems in the State.
Why do agencies outside San Francisco get water from the San Francisco
Regional Water System?
San Francisco's Hetch Hetchy water system was built with the intent of serving
neighboring communities in these counties, and many of the agencies served today
supported the Congressional act that permitted the system to be built.
If there is a drought. how is the available supply divided between San Francisco's
Retail and Wholesale Customers?
In the event of a drought, the Agreement includes a provision for allocating water
between San Francisco's Retail Customers and the Wholesale Customers as a group.
The fonnula requires greater cutbacks to the Wholesale Customers reflecting
differences in climate, density and land uses.
Does the Agreement specify how water would be allocated among the 27
Wholesale Customers during a drought?
No. The allocation of water among the Wholesale Customers will be decided separately.
In 2000, the Wholesale Customers approved a plan to allocate their share of water
among the 27 agencies. That formula is based on several principles, one of which is
that agencies should not be penalized for investing in local water conservation or
wastewater recycling. This plan will be reviewed, and revised if necessary, this coming
fiscal year. San Francisco is not a party to that plan, so it is not included in the
Agreement with San Francisco. On an individual agency basis, how each agency
allocates water to its retail customers is up to that agency's governing body, and is not
addressed in the Agreement with San Francisco.

COSTS AND WATER RATES
Do customers outside San Francisco subsidize the cost of water for customers
inside San Francisco?
No. The costs associated with building, operating and maintaining the Regional Water
System are shared between San Francisco Retail Customers and the Wholesale
Customers based on their proportionate annual use of water from the system.
What about the other way? Do customers inside San Francisco subsidize the cost
of water for customers outside San Francisco?
No.
Will the new agreement make the cost of buying water from San Francisco go up?
No. Wholesale water rates will not go up because of the Agreement. The wholesale
cost of water is projected to increase in order to pay for the seismic upgrades to the
regional water system. Those cost increases would occur even if the existing agreement
remained in effect.
How much will residential water bills outside San Francisco go up because San
Francisco is rebuilding the Regional Water System?
It depends on where you live and whether your local water agency is undertaking capital
improvements or other costs. For a typical household outside San Francisco, the cost of
rebuilding the Regional Water System will increase the monthly residential water bill by
about $2.50 per month between now and 2015.
When is San Francisco going to complete rebuilding the Regional Water System?
San Francisco estimates it will complete the Water System Improvement Program by
the end of 2015.
Who monitors costs and ensures San Francisco honors the provisions of the
Agreement?
BAWSCA will continue to administer the Agreement on behalf of the water agencies
outside San Francisco and their retail customers.

ATTACHMENT I
EXCERPTS from Draft Minutes of UAC Meeting of May 6, 2009
ITEM 4: ACTION rrEM: Recommendation that the Utilities Advisory Commission Recommend
that Council Approve 1) the New Water Supply Agreement between San Francisco and Wholesale
Customers in Alameda County, San Mateo County and Santa Clara County, and 2) Palo Alto's
Individual Water Sales Contract with San Francisco
Assistant Director Jane Ratchye stated that the UAC had received a preliminary report at its April
meeting when the contract negotiations were almost final and there were only a few unresolved
issues. She also referred to the presentation on the contract made by Art Jensen, General
Manager of the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA), on May 4. Ratchye
advised of a correction to the UAC report on page 4 under the summary of Article 5. The sentence
in the report: "The WSA continues this method for existing assets, but replaces it with the "cash
method" for new assets," should be replaced with the following: "The WSA discontinues this
method and replaces it with the "cash method" for new assets. In addition, the Wholesale
Customers will pay their remaining share of existing assets built and in service as of June 30,
2009, through a series of level payments over 25 years."
Chair Dawes asked if the savings to the wholesale customers with the cash versus the utility
method will be significant. Ratchye replied that the savings will be significant because if the utility
method were to be continued, the SFPUC would have demanded a 3% higher rate of return than
used in the current contract.
Chair Dawes asked about the interim supply limitation. Ratchye explained that this limitation is
used for the purposes of determining which agencies will be charged an environmental surcharge
fee if deliveries exceed 265 million gallons per day (MGD). San Francisco's limit is 81 MGD and
the wholesale agency limit is 184 MGD. If the wholesale agencies do not present a plan for how
the 184 MGD is split up between the agencies, then, under the contract, San Francisco will split it
up by December 2010.
Commissioner Waldfogel asked if there was any cap on costs, or if the wholesale agencies just pay
their share of the total costs, regardless of what they are. Ratchye said that this is true and is the
same as in the current contract, but there are protections in the form of annual audits of expenses.
Commissioner Keller asked about the negotiation process for the interim supply limitation. Ratchye
replied that the wholesale agencies will need to collectively agree or SFPUC will establish the
amounts for each agency. The process will be a contentious issue. In addition, there remain many
unknowns with the SFPUC retaining full rate setting authority. Ratchye also explained that the
SFPUC has the long-term obligation to provide 184 MGD to BAWSCA agencies. Keller remarked
that if a dollar value was determined for the supply assurances, then the goal to reduce water
supply would be cleaner.
Chair Dawes asked what the value of the review of the budget by BAWSCA is. Ratchye replied
that BAWSCA audits the SFPUC's budget and comments on questionable expenses.
Commissioner Waldfogel stated that the SRPUC rate-setting process was out of synch with the
City's as the information on wholesale rates is not known at the time budgets are developed.
Ratchye replied that this is true under the current contract and that the rate stabilization reserve
can be used in the event that the original rate estimate is different from the actual rate adopted.
Commissioner Keller asked what is referred to in the contract regarding water efficiency. Ratchye
explained that this refers to the "green option" that was described in the Program EIR in the
SFPUC's WSIP, which would involve investment in agricultural districts that also take water from
the Tuolumne River. In this way, some of the saved water could potentially be transferred to the
SFPUC regional water system.
Commissioner Waldfogel noted that local control is somewhat reduced by the requirement for
wholesale customers to join the California Urban Water Conservation Council (CUWCC) or
complete CUWCC's Best Management Practices (BMPs). Ratchye noted that this is true, but it is
in most wholesale customers' interest to do this as it is a state requirement to get loans, grants, or
access to the State Water Bank in times of water shortage.
ACTION: Commissioner Melton made a motion that the UAC recommend that Council approve: 1)
the Water Supply Agreement between the City and County of San Francisco and Wholesale
Customers in Alameda County, San Mateo County and Santa Clara County, and 2) Palo Alto's
Individual Water Sales Contract with San Francisco as long as the Final Individual Water Sales
Contract was not substantially different from the template provided in the Attachment F of the
Water Supply Agreement. Commissioner Waldfogel seconded the motion. Motion passed
unanimously (4-0).

Excerpted Minutes from May 19 Finance Committee Meeting
7. Utilities Advisory Commission Recommendation to Adopt Three
Resolutions: 1) Approval of the New Water Supply Agreement with San
Francisco; 2) Approval of Palo Alto's Individual Water Sales Contract
with San Francisco; and 3) Adoption of Findings for Purposes of the
California Environmental Quality Act in Connection with Approval of a
Water Supply Agreement with San Francisco
City Manager Jim Keene noted that the Water Supply Agreement was the
subject of an in-depth joint study session with Council and the Utilities
Advisory Commission at which Art Jensen, the General Manager of the Bay
Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA), spoke. Chair Burt
agreed that the Council has previously had extensive discussion on this
agreement.
Council Member Schmid asked about the difference between the two
numbers in the contract -the supply assurance and the interim supply
limitation due to the delivery cap until 2018. He asked if Palo Alto's excess
can be sold to another entity.
Assistant Director Jane Ratchye indicated that the supply assurance is still in
the contract as it was before, but that the Interim Water Shortage Allocation
Plan that used the supply assurance numbers to calculate the amount of
water each agency would get in a drought is not in the contract and will
need to be worked out in the future. The other number, the interim supply
limitation, is 184 million gallons per day (MGD) for the wholesale agencies,
but this number is not yet distributed among the agencies yet.
Council Member Schmid asked if the supply assurance can be monetized, or
traded to other entities.
Ratchye indicated that BAWSCA will be facilitating a process to determine
which agencies may be interested in selling or buying excess supply
assurances from other agencies. Through that process, the value of one
MGD of supply assurance will be discovered.
Council Member Schmid asked if we sold some of our excess supply
assurance to another agency, would San Francisco sell more water and
would it set rates accordingly. Ratchye clarified that such a transaction
would be between the two agencies -the buyer and the seller of the supply
assurance -and that the wholesale rates for water under the contract would
be unaffected. Council Member Klein added that until such a transaction is
completed, there is no monetization of the supply assurance.
Council Member Schmid noted that selling some of Palo Alto's excess supply
assurance could be a good source of revenue. He noted that San Jose uses
only a small amount of SFPUC water and may want to purchase more.
Keene asked what the time frame is for negotiating these deals. Ratchye
replied that Palo Alto has asked BAWSCA to perform the facilitation role and
to assist in the negotiation of contracts, but that nothing will occur until the
Water Supply Agreements are executed so that work will not begin on this
until fiscal year 2010.
Council Member Schmid noted that an effective cap-and-trade market would
encourage conservation and that this would be a good thing.
Council Member Klein noted that this contract is one of the most important
actions the Council will take and its effects will last longer than the terms of
all the Council members. He added that, although the discussion tonight
might appear short, it is the culmination of a long process in which there has
been long discussions.
MOTION: Council Member Klein moved, seconded by Council Member Burt
to recommend that Council approve three resolutions: 1) Approving the New
Water Supply Agreement between the City and County of San Francisco and
Wholesale Customers in Alameda County, San Mateo County and Santa
Clara County; 2) Approving Palo Alto's Individual Water Sales Contract with
the City and County of San Francisco; and 3) Adopting Findings for Purposes
of the California Environmental Quality Act in Connection with Approval of a
Water Supply Agreement with the City and County of San Francisco.
MOTION PASSED 3-0
