AB#z TITLE:
MTG. 11-8-88 AMENDMENT TO SUPPLEMENT NO. 7 TO THE
WATER SERVICE AGREEMENT ADDING WESTWOOD DRIVE
DEPT. U/M j TO THE LIST OF APPROVED PROJECTS
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
To adopt Resolution N0.k-8~3% approving amendments to the Water Service
Agreement which adds Westwood Drive to the list of approved projects.
In June of 1987, the City Council approved Supplement No. 7 to the Water
Service Agreement between the City of Carlsbad and the Costa Real Municipal
Water District (CRMWD). Supplement No. 7 provided a mechanism to allocate
approximately 3.5 million dollars of City Water Enterprise Funds to capital
projects which would benefit the original City water service area. The
capital projects approved in Supplement No. 7 are shown in attachment A.
The Westwood Drive area, which is located in the original City water service
area, has been suffering with relatively low water pressure for several years.
Both citizens, City staff and CRMWD staff recognize the condition, however,
a capital project was not identified in Supplement No. 7 to correct this
problem.
Recently, City staff with the cooperation of the CRMWD staff has identified
a solution to the low water pressure problem experienced on Westwood Drive.
The solution involves the design and construction of a 6 inch water line which
would allow the Westwood Drive area to be incorporated within a higher
pressure zone. The cost of this project should not exceed $24,000.
The new water line will eliminate the low pressure problems now being
experienced by citizens living on Westwood Drive. The water pressure will be
improved from a static pressure of 36+ pounds per square inch to a static
pressure of 60t pounds per square inch.
Should the City Council approve staff recommendation, the CRMWD board would
then be required to approve the Amendment to Supplement No. 7 and to add the
Westwood Drive project to the Districts 1988-89 Capital Program. Once all
approvals are obtained, CRMWD staff believes that the project can be
advertised for bid in Spring or early Summer of 1989.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds are available in the Water Capital fund in the amount sufficient to
defray the costs of this project. Should Council approve staffs
recommendation the funds will be released pursuant to the provisions of
Supplement No. 7, which requires CRMWD to submit a request for payment for
each portion of the project as it is completed. The Water Capital Fund has
$4,143,883.00, with $3,144,885.00 committed to capital projects approved by
the Council on October 4.

WESTWOOD DRIVE - LOW WATER PRESSURE
As you know, the residents of Westwood Drive have suffered with low water
pressure for several years. In the past the affected residents have been
unsuccessful in their attempts to have the Costa Real Municipal Water District
(CRMWD) solve the problem.
In March, 1988, Mr. James Vittitoe, on behalf of the Westwood Drive residents,
contacted the City for assistance. Responding to Mr. Vittitoes request,
Utilities and Maintenance Department staff contacted CRMWD staff to discuss the
issue. Following the discussions and further investigation, Utilities and
Maintenance staff suggested a relatively low cost ($24,000) solution to the
District. In a letter dated August 8, 1988, the District General Manager agreed
with our suggestion.
Accordingly, we are preparing an agenda bill for Council consideration which
would (1) amend Supplement No. 7 to the Water Service Agreement to add the
Westwood Drive project to the approved project list, and (2) authorize the funds
to be allocated from the Water Capital Fund. Should the Council approve the
request the CRMWD Board will also have to approve the amendment to Supplement
No. 7 and add the project to the District Capital Improvement Program for FY88-
89. Assuming that all the approvals are obtained, the District believes that
they should be able to award a contract for the project by late Spring or early
Summer, 1989.
I have enclosed pertinent correspondence for your information, should you have
any questions please let me know. /' 3

Thank you for your letter of March 22, 1988, regarding low water pressure in
your residences and neighborhood. I have been assured by our Utilities/Main-
tenance Department that the water pressure in your neighborhood and residen-
ces meets the minimum standards required for household water service.
However, I do understand your desire for a higher level of service, and
therefore have asked our Utilities/Maintenance Director to work with the Costa
Real Municipal District to see what alternatives are available to increase
water pressure in your neighborhood.
From what we know now, increasing water pressure in your neighborhood will not
be a simple or inexpensive task. Please be assured that we are interested and
concerned about your problems and will be seeking feasible ways to correct the
problem if possible. If you have any questions or would like additional
information, feel free to give me a call at 434-2823.

since our water supply was changed from one reservoir to another in the
mid-seventies.
This problem has been brought to the attention of your department on
several occasions. The results have been nil with the standard bureau-
cratic run-around that “nothing can be done about it as we are on the
end of the line”.
We are sure the home owners at the end of the line in the newer sub-
divisions of Carlsbad do not have this problem. Do we have to retain
the services of an attorney to get results.
Under the present conditions a person can not take a shower on the second
story when water is being used anyplace in the house or yard.
We would appreciate hearing from you regarding this matter.

RR: Higher Water Pressures for Westwood Drive
Dear Ralph:
In response to your inquiry regarding increasing water pressure to the Westwood Drive resident(s), I have reviewed some alterna- tives to the present situation. The best, quickest and least costly solution to the perceived problem is the installation of a booster pump system in the affected house service lines. This
solution is the one I recommend and, in the past, has been Mr. Roger Greer's recommendation.
However, there are two other possible alternative solutions. First is to isolate the Westwood Drive area by closing the appro- priate valves. This would allow the extension of the higher pressure system onto Westwood Drive in the affected area. How- ever, this isolation would mean the entire area remaining in the lower pressure zone would not have a looped system. This means
fire protection would be affected in that we would be limited to a single source in case of a fire emergency. Additionally, the
system in this area would be affected by the increase in pipeline velocities, headloss and a general loss of efficiency associated with a non-looped system versus a looped system. Should this
alternative be pursued, the fire marshal must be consulted be- cause of the effect on the fire fighting capabilities.
The second alternative would be to install a spur waterline in Westwood Drive from the high pressure zone in Donna Drive. The
length of this line would be approximately 450 feet and, at $50.00 per foot, would cost about $23,000 to install. The $50.00
per foot would include the installation of 6" pipe, fittings and . appurtenances (such as air/vat valves, blow-offs), paving, traf- fic control, service connections, testing and disinfection, etc. Administrative and engineering costs would be an additional cost.
. City of Carlsbad April 26, 1988 Page 2
It is apparent that there are no easy "fixes" to increase pres- sure in the Westwood Drive area. As previously mentioned, the least costly alternative is the booster pump installation in the service line. I would point out again, however, that the static pressure of 43 2 psi is more than the minimum required pressure for water systems in residential areas. For your information, please review the attachments taken from AWWA's Water Distribu- tion Handbook and from "Elements of Water Supply and Wastewater Disposal" by Fair and Geyer.
If I can be of further assistance or if you need any additional information, please call.
Sincerely,
COSTA REAL MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT

Dear Bob:
Over the past several years, both the City and the District have received and
responded to numerous low water pressure problems on West Wood Drive, We both
understand the problem, and realize the static water pressure of 43+/- PSI is
within the minimum requirements for reside’ntial water systems.
The homeowners on West Wood realize this too, although the annoyance of the
minimum water pressure in those residences causes them various problems relating
to irrigation, showers and laundry.
The City is prepared to allocate the $23,000 to $24,000 from the Water Enterprise
Fund to install approsimately 450’ of 6” pipeline to bring higher water pressure
into the area. We propose that the City and the District, in order to better
serve the residents, join forces to complete the project. We further propose
that the City pay for the construction costs and that the District share in the
cost of the project by paying the administrative and engineering costs.
The City believes this to be the best possible solution to a problem that has
been going on for some time.
I wait for the District’s response, and if I can answer any questions please call
me at 438-7753.

RE: Westwood Drive - Water Pressure Problems
Dear Ralph:
The District agrees that construction of a separate 6-inch waterline is probably a good solution to the perceived problem in the Westwood Drive area.
Your recent letter indicates the City would allocate monies out of the "Water Enterprise Fund." If this fund is the Water Capital Project Fund set up as per the Water Service Agreement, then this project will have to be added to next year's project list. This year's list contains projects and budgeted amounts that have been approved by both the District and the City. This procedure is in accordance with Supplement Y7 of the Water Service Agreement.
If, however, I am mistaken as to the source of the funds, please let me know and we may be able to take additional steps to initiate this project this year.
Very truly yours,
Robert J. Greaney General Manager/District Engineer

SUPPLEMENT NO. SEVEN TO THE WATER SERVICE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CARLSBAD AND THE
COSTA REAL MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT
AUTHORIZING COSTA REAL TO DESIGN AND CONSTRUCT
SPECIFIC WATER TRANSMISSION FACILITIES AND FOR CARLSBAD TO PARTIALLY FUND THESE PROJECTS
This agreement made and entered into by and between CITY OF
CARLSBAD ("CITY") and COSTA REAL MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT
("DISTRICT").
RECITALS: I.
1. CITY and DISTRICT have previously entered into a Water
Service Agreement, executed on May 25, 1983, providing for the
allocation of functional responsibilities for the provision of
water service within the DISTRICT, said Agreement for convenience
hereinafter referred to as "AGREEMENT".
2. Section 9 of the AGREEMENT provides, in part, that "the
DISTRICT will be responsible for the planning, financing and
construction of all major capital facilities necessary to provide
potable water service within the DISTRICT."
3. DISTRICT, with the cooperation of CITY, has developed a
Capital Improvement Plan of public water system facilities.
4. The DISTRICT has developed a Capital Improvement Project
list which benefits the previous City Service Area of the
DISTRICT. This area was served by the CITY, and the CITY was
responsible for the construction, maintenance, repair, and
replacement of water transmission facilities. This Project List
is detailed in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein
by reference.
5. In compliance with Section 9 of the Basic Agreement,
DISTRICT has established a Capital Development Fund which
contains $12,874,950 under the adopted 1986-87 budget of the
DISTRICT.
6. Section 9 of the Basic Agreement also provides, in part
"the CITY will contribute the proceeds from the sale or lease of
Lake Calavera together with the undesignated reserves in the
City's Water Utility Fund to the Capital Development Fund."
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these recitals and
mutual covenants contained herein, CITY and DISTRICT agree as
follows:
1. CITY will deliver to DISTRICT all of the files, plans,
and specifications on any of the capital improvement projects in
the possession of CITY within 30 days of execution of this
Supplement.
2. DISTRICT is responsible for the design, construction,
financing, and all other necessary steps for completion of the
capital improvement projects contained in Exhibit A.
3. CITY shall establish a Water Capital Projects Fund, upon
the effective date of this agreement, which will include funds in
the category of Retaining Earnings of the June 30, 1986 Compre-
hensive Annual Finance Report (page 99) as follows:
-2-
Reserved for Construction $ 445,851
Approved Capital Projects 65,609
Undesignated 3,288,293 $3,799,753
The Sixth Supplement Approved Expenditures of $230,664 for the
construction of the Ellery Reservoir/Tri-Agency Pipeline and
will redti-a the fund to $3,569,089. Additionally, interest earn-
ings for the above amount, based on the CITY’S average return on
investments from July 1, 1986 to the date of final approval of
this supplement, will be included. Interest earnings on the
Water Capital Projects Fund will be allocated to the Fund when
established. CITY retains $911,291, identified as “Retained for
Debt Service” to satisfy the Water Works Revenue Bond issues’ of
1958, 1960, and 1970 and to fund any future capital requirements
of the CITY’s Water Department. This allocation complies with
Paragraph 9 of the Basic Agreement relating to the amount of the
CITY’s contribution to the DISTRICT Capital Development Fund from
the “undesignated reserves in the CITY’s Water Utility Fund” and
is acceptable to DISTRICT. The parties agree that it is
unnecessary for CITY to deliver such undesginated reserves to the
DISTRICT’s Capital Development Fund, provided that payments are
made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Supplement. Payments from the CITY to the DISTRICT will be in
accordance with the following procedures:
a. Project is to be included in the project list
(Exhibit A). The project list is not in priority, and costs
shown are approximate only. The total cost of the project
list is in excess of the funds available from the Water
Capital Projects Fund, and additional funds from DISTRICT
resources will be required to complete the project list.
b. For any fiscal year in which DISTRICT is to receive
reimbursement from the Water Capital Projects Fund, DISTRICT
will submit to the CITY no later than June 1 commencing that
fiscal year, a capital projects budget of the projects or
portion of projects from the project list (Exhibit A) to be
funded hereunder. This submission shall include a specific
project description, estimated funding for the project
(showing allocation of benefit to the original CITY service
area (in percentage) in accordance with Exhibit A), source
of project funds (CITY and DISTRICT), and the fiscal quarter
that CITY funds will be required.

of the capital projects budget to the CITY, whichever is
earlier, the CITY Planning Commission shall report publicly
the consistency of such budget with the CITY General Plan.
In the event the Planning Commission fails to make such a
report, such budget shall be deemed consistent with the
General Plan. The CITY Council will thereafter review the
capital projects budget and authorize the funds to be trans-
ferred from the Capital Projects Fund, as provided below,
except as to any project in the budget which is: (1) not
shown on Exhibit A, or showing an allocation of benefit
which conflicts with Exhibit A; or (2) found to be inconsis-
tent with the General Plan.
-4-
, .
d. DISTRICT shall remain responsible to complete.plans
and studies, including environmental review and engineering,
and approve plans and specifications, DISTRICT shall be the
