EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Plan Overview
Purpose and Organization
The 2016 Water Master Plan Update (WMPU) provides the City of Arcadia (City) with
an evaluation of its existing water supply and distribution system and provides
recommendations to sustain the best level of service to our customers through the year
2025. The WMPU includes strategies for maintaining water supply and service level to
our customers, direction for future projects to be included in the Capital Improvement
Program, and guidance on operational issues including system maintenance, inspection
and conservation.
This Water Master Plan has been organized into five chapters. Chapter One describes the
various resources that were reviewed in order to understand the operation of the water
system as well as sources of current and future water supply. Chapter Two reviewed the
water demands based on population and land use. Chapter Three reviewed the various
sources of supply from the City's three groundwater basins. Chapter Four reviewed the
components of the water system and the various pressure zones they serve, including well
and booster pumps, transmission and distribution piping, reservoirs and pressure reducing
stations. Chapter Five uses this information and provides an analysis of the ability of the
current water system to meet the required current and future demands and then provide
recommendations for improvements to the system to sustain the high level of service and
reliability which the City's water customers have come to rely on.
Land Use
The City is essentially built out; however, there are still opportunities for densification,
infill of undeveloped lots, subdivision of large parcels, redevelopment, changes to land
use designation. Existing and proposed land uses per the Land Use and Community
Design Element of the 2010 General Plan were incorporated into this plan.
Water Supply
The City supplies water to its customers by pumping groundwater from three aquifers, or
groundwater basins. The City also has a connection to the Metropolitan Water District
which is used as an emergency source of supply in the event that water cannot be pumped
from the ground and to the upper pressure zones. Historic groundwater availability and
actual production were examined with respect to water rights, management of water
rights, constraints related to blending plans, and the location and capacity of active wells.
Blending constraints prove challenging during high demand periods.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
All CITY OF ARCADIA
Water Demand
A comprehensive water demand analysis was performed considering the following
aspects: demand and static demand fluctuation by pressure zone, diurnal fluctuation,
estimate of water loss, demand factors relative to land use, indoor vs. outdoor use,
demand associated with known developments, and demand forecasting. The Average
Day Demand (ADD), Maximum Day Demand (MDD) and Peak Hour Demand (PHD)
for each pressure zone. This information was compared to the existing supply capabilities
of the water system in the various pressure zones and used to identify possible
deficiencies and make recommendations for future capital improvements.
Water Quality
Even though there are minor water quality issues in the local basins, the City has
succeeded at keeping its groundwater source viable by implementing various treatment
facilities and blending plans.
The increase in nitrate levels from certain wells and new regulations pertaining to
Hexavalent Chromium may pose a challenge to future water quality compliance.

Distribution Piping: There is over 900,000 lineal feet of pipe in the distribution system
ranging from four inches to 36 inches in diameter.
SCADA Systems: There is a comprehensive SCADA system capable of controlling all
pumps and certain other control devices in the system. The SCADA system archives
performance data that is useful for monitoring, auditing, daily inspection, and forecasting
purposes.
Computer Model
The City has an existing calibrated hydraulic computer model that uses InfoWater
software by Innovyze. The Water Model was updated for this planning effort with a
current demand distribution and current pump performance characteristics. The Water
Model is a tool for assessing the distribution systems capacity, compliance, efficiency,
and performance. It is also used to evaluate any hydraulic deficiencies and for
performing time-based analyses of emergency storage, disinfectant residuals, and time-
of-use energy conservation.
Summary
Through the application of evaluation criteria to the existing system, conditions are noted
below where existing system performance does not achieve established goals.
Water Supply Deficits
Total water supply for the average day and maximum day is adequate to meet demands.
Emergency refill supply however is deficient by about 11,500 gpm. Most of this
deficiency (8,900 gpm) can be balanced using the MWD emergency connection. The
remaining deficiency of 2,600 gpm primarily impact Zones 2 and 4.
Water Storage Deficits
While there is currently enough storage capacity to supply water through gravity flow
under average day requirements, there is a water storage deficit in Zone 1 of about 3 MG
and in Zone 2 of about 2 MG for the storage required to supply operational, fire, and
emergency demands for the maximum use day. This deficit is currently covered by the
use of emergency generators which keeps pumps operational in the event of power
interruptions.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CITY OF ARCADIA
Water System Pressure Deficiencies
The State water standards require the residual water pressure available to customers to be
no less than 25 psi, however, the City seeks to provide a minimum pressure of 40 psi.
Low water system pressure,below 40 psi was observed in the following areas:
• Zone 2 in the vicinity Michillinda Avenue and Colorado Street
• Zone 1 in the vicinity of Elkins Avenue and Wilson Avenue
• Zone lA in the vicinity of Hillcrest Blvd. and Valencia Way
• Zone 4 along the pressure zone boundary with Zone 3 between Baldwin Avenue
and El Monte Avenue
Water System Pressure Excesses
High water system pressure in excess of 150 psi was observed in Zone 1 in the vicinity of
Foothill Blvd. and Santa Anita Avenue.
Fire Flows and Pressures
Fire flow in thirteen residential areas was found to be below the current standard of 1,250
gpm at 20 psi residual and have been recommended for improvement
Pipeline Velocity
High pipe velocity in excess of 10 feet per second increases wear on pipes and valves and
requires more energy to pump water through the pipes. High velocities were observed in
pipes discharging water from the Santa Anita Booster Station, the Camino Real Booster
Station, and the Orange Grove Booster Station.
Dead-end Pipelines
Thirteen locations were identified as dead-end pipelines serving (1) 20 or more meters or
(2)20 GPM or more of average day demand.
Cyclical Replacement
Based on the pipeline material and age, an annual pipeline replacement target of 10,000
lineal feet per year has been identified.
Based on the typical useful life of reservoirs, Orange Grove 2, the Chapman Forebay and
the Longden Forebay were found to exceed their useful service life.

CHAPTER ONE - INTRODUCTION
1.1 General Description
This chapter provides insight into the organization and content of the report.
1.1.1 Hydraulic Model
The Water Model was reviewed for functionality and accuracy. The programming for
pumps and wells was updated to reflect the most current hydraulic performance tests.
Demand distribution was updated to reflect current conditions. New scenarios were
developed to reflect updated hydraulic recommendations related to the current planning
effort. No historic scenarios were affected by the updates. The Water Model was used to
identify critical hydraulic issues and to develop appropriate mitigation options.
1.1.2 SCADA and Operational Review
The capabilities of the SCADA system were thoroughly reviewed and historic data
analyzed to determine demand characteristics for the various pressure zones. Gaps in
SCADA coverage were also identified.
1.1.3 Utility Billing Data Review
Water billing data was reviewed and analyzed to establish an understanding of customer
use and demand distribution by pressure zone.
Billing records were correlated to the actual or nearest associated parcel in a Geographic
Information System (GIS) and assigned a land use description. Statistical analysis was
performed on the data to define typical demand patterns and trends by land use type and
by pressure zone.
1.1.4 2008 Water Master Plan Review
The 2008 Water Master Plan was reviewed with respect to determining the viability of
the remaining previously recommended capital improvement projects.
1.1.5 Evaluation of Supply Capabilities
Water supply was examined for the following:
• Access to groundwater based on rights and basin management
• Pumping capacity of existing groundwater sources
• Constraints based on compliance with multiple water blending plans

1.1.6 2010 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP)Review
The UWMP was reviewed with respect to water supply availability. Groundwater rights
versus actual production for the past ten years were plotted as a means to analyze the
City's management of its own supply resources and to identify opportunities for
balancing its water supply portfolio. The UWMP was also used as a source for defusing
recycled water demand and associated required infrastructure for water conservation
purposes.
1.1.7 Water Conservation Goal Review
Guidance was provided to set and achieve a water conservation goal in terms of annual
volume conserved versus investment.
1.1.8 Water Quality Requirements
New and pending water quality legislation and regulations may impact the City's future
operations. Potential impacts were described in physical, operational, and economic
terms.
1.1.9 Improvement Program Preparation
A list of improvements necessary to meet system demands for the next ten years was
prepared.

( \ )A
CHAPER TWO - LAND USE & WATER REQUIREMENTS
2.1 Steady State Peaking Factors
For planning purposes, there are three steady state conditions: (1) Average Day Demand
(ADD), (2) Maximum Day Demand(MDD) and (3) Peak Hour Demand(PHD).
ADD serves as a benchmark and a planning tool for long-term issues at the system level,
such as water supply acquisition and integrated water resources management.
MDD is a peaking factor and serves as a planning tool at the pressure zone level. MDD
is the peak loading for typical booster-reservoir pressure zones for analysis of supply
requirements. MDD is also used to help define certain emergency conditions, especially
MDD plus Fire Flow.
PHD is also a peaking factor and serves as a planning tool at the pipe level. Pipes must
function adequately under this loading. Also, PHD is the peak loading for sub-zones (e.g.
Zones 1 A and 2A) for analysis of supply requirements.
2.1.1 Calculation of Average Day Demand
Detailed calculations and analysis of the system demand is provided in Appendix A.
Using that information, ADD was distributed proportional to each pressure zone
according to water billing records for the same period and shown in Table 2.1.

2.1.2 Calculation of MDD and PHD Peaking Factors
A peaking factor is the ratio of the target demand to ADD. Peaking factors were derived
by analyzing SCADA data to develop an understanding of pressure zone level demand,
sorting for the peak day and peak hour, scaling to account for the historical peak month
production, and for attenuation.
Detailed analysis and calculations for the peaking factor of each zone are provided in
Appendix A1.8. A summary of all steady state demand conditions by zone, through
application of the peaking factors, is provided in Table 2.2.

2.1.3 Demand Forecasting
A model was developed to assist with demand forecasting (see Appendix A1.13). The
Demand Model takes into account the influences of population growth, temperature,
precipitation and macroeconomics on water demand.
Table 2.3 provides a summary of demand projections for the next ten years based on the
following conditions:

CHAPTER THREE — SOURCE OF SUPPLY
wigs CITY OF ARCADIA
CHAPTER THREE - SOURCE OF SUPPLY
3.1 General Description
Chapter 3 describes the historic availability and actual deliveries of water supply to the
City. The basis for supply availability is discussed in terms of water rights and supply
deliveries and how those rights have been exercised. In addition to limitations on water
rights, supply availability is constrained by a series of blending plans introduced to
mitigate certain minor water quality issues and by the capacity of existing water wells.
Additional information related to Source of Supply and the Water Blending Plans are
provided in Appendix A and B.
3.2 Water Rights &Agreements
The City depends exclusively on groundwater as its existing and future source of water
supply. The City has adjudicated water rights in the Raymond Basin and the Main San
Gabriel Basin. Raymond Basin rights are specified for the Pasadena and Santa Anita
Subareas. In addition, the City can purchase water from the Upper San Gabriel Valley
Municipal Water District (USGVMWD) or untreated imported water for groundwater
recharge to offset demands in excess of its adjudicated rights. USGVMWD is a local
wholesaler which provides imported water to its member agencies, including Arcadia.
USGVMWD receives its water from the regional wholesaler Metropolitan Water District
of Southern California (MWD). Oversight of these water rights makes reliability of the
City's groundwater resources the responsibility of the associated Watermasters, who
work in association with various member agencies and other stakeholders in their
missions to assure water reliability.

The sections that follow develop a relationship between adjudication and production as a
basis for analysis and supply maximization.
3.3.1 Raymond Basin Groundwater Rights and Agreements
The City has a Decreed Right of 2,118 acre-feet per year(AFY) in the Pasadena Subarea
and 3,528 AFY in the Santa Anita Subarea. Note that the Decreed Right in the Pasadena
Subarea is subject to a self-imposed reduction of 30% from the 1955 adjudication over
the course of five years as the result of action taken by the Raymond Basin Management
Board in 2008 (Resolution 42-0109) with respect to long-term water quality management
and basin sustainability. The City's reduced production goal for the Pasadena Subarea is
1,482.6 AFY. The Raymond Basin Management Board also implemented the 500-foot
level limitation in the Santa Anita Subarea in 2013, resulting in adjusted pumping rights
of 2,321 AFY in that sub-basin. Total adjusted pumping rights for the Raymond Basin are
3,803.6 AFY(1,482.6+2,321 AFY).
The City has access to long term storage in the Pasadena Subarea. Long term storage
assumes a 1% annual loss, and extraction is assessed an administrative charge of$1.50
per acre-foot. The City's long term storage account is capped at 1,319.3 acre-feet.
3.3.2 Main San Gabriel Basin Groundwater Rights and Agreements
The Main San Gabriel Basin Judgment does not restrict the quantity of water which
Parties may extract. Rather, it provides a means for replacing excess pumping with
Supplemental Water through a Replacement Water Assessment. The Operating Safe
Yield is established annually by Watermaster, which is then used to allocate
proportionally to each Party a level of production free of the Replacement Water
Assessment. Excess production is subject to assessment.
The City's adjudicated right in the Main San Gabriel Basin to 4.23099% of the annual
Operating Safe Yield. If the City extracts water in excess of its right under the annual
Operating Safe Yield, it must pay an assessment for Replacement Water which is
sufficient to purchase one acre-foot of Supplemental Water to be spread in the Main San
Gabriel Basin for each acre-foot of excess production.

3.5 Blending Constraints
There are three blending plans that impose constraints on groundwater production in the
interest of reducing concentrations of nitrate, PCE, and TCE below their respective
MCLs. Each blending plan focuses on water quality conditions in fixed areas relative to
sources of groundwater production and associated storage and mixing facilities. The
blending plans are provided in Appendix B.
Per Longden Plant Nitrate Blending Plan,Longden 1 is constrained to reduced flow of 2,000 gpm.
2 Per the St.Joseph Reservoirs Nitrate and PCE Blending Plan(2014),the St.Joseph Well has an estimated
capacity of 3,500 gpm but is currently restricted not to exceed 2,000 gpm.

CHAPTER FIVE - ANALYSIS & RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 General Description
This chapter provides analysis and assessment of hydraulic capacity and performance of
the water distribution system followed by evaluations and recommendations of capital
projects that would provide benefit the City over the next 20 years. This chapter provides
information that has been derived from simulated computer modelling. The analysis is
based upon the Design Criteria, which are detailed in Appendix A4.
5.2 Storage Analysis
Per design criteria, there should be sufficient storage in each pressure zone for fire,
emergency, and operational purposes. Fire storage is the largest single flow requirement
in any zone. Emergency storage is one day of MDD. Operational storage is 30% of one
day of MDD.
Table 5.1 provides a comparison of the storage requirement to the nominal storage in
each pressure zone.

5.3 Existing Supply Sufficiency
Existing supply sufficiency considers firm supply and emergency refill on a pressure
zone basis. Firm supply capacity is considered the primary assessment, and emergency
refill capacity is considered the secondary assessment.
The goal for firm supply is dependent MDD. Dependent MDD is the MDD in a subject
pressure zone plus the MDD of any higher pressure zones that rely on the subject zone
for supply. For example, the dependent MDD for Zone 1 is the cumulative MDD for
Zones 1, 1A, 5, 6 and 7. To account for attenuation, dependent MDD is calculated as the
sum of dependent ADD multiplied by an appropriate peaking factor, as shown in Table
5.2. The MDD peaking factor is a function of ADD.
MDD Peaking Factor = —0.211n(ADD) + 3.6

CHAPTER FIVE —ANALYSIS & RECOMMENDATIONS
CITY OF ARCADIA.
5.3.1 Existing Supply Sufficiency
The ability of each pressure zone to supply enough water for the Maximum Day Demand
(Primary Requirement) and the Emergency Refill Demand (Secondary Requirement)was
examined.
The Primary Zone Capacity is considered to be the available pumping capacity for the
zone plus dependent zones with at least one pump out of service. The Secondary
Capacity is considered to be the total pumping capacity of the zone plus dependent zones
with all pumps running.
The Primary Zone Requirement is the calculated MDD for each zone. The Primary Zone
plus the Dependent Requirement is the demand required by the zone plus the demand of
dependent zones. The Secondary Demand is calculated in the same manner using
secondary demands for each zone.
The Primary Balance represents the excess or deficient pumping capacity available after
the demand is met. Based on this calculation, a deficiency is shown in Zone 4 for the
Primary Requirement and an excess in Zone 3. These balances are typically managed by
Operations and by SCADA in determining which pumps operate to balance the demand
between the zones. The addition of a new well in Zone 2, 3, or 4 would provide the
additional supply required.
The Secondary Balance represents a deficiency in Zones 1,2,3,and 4 for the Secondary
Requirement. Because the Secondary condition represents an emergency condition, the
MWD connection would be utilized as an additional source of supply to Zones 1, 2, 5, 6,
and 7 which would eliminate these zones as being dependent on Zone 3 and 4. The
balance of the deficit could be supplied by providing a new well in Zones 2, 3, or 4.
Table 5.5 provides a summary of the groundwater and booster pump capacities for each
pressure zone.

Zone 2 supplies about 35% of the groundwater it needs from within the zone and pumps
from the West Raymond Basin, which is currently under-pumped. Zone 3 supplies most
of the groundwater it needs from within the zone, but has a high demand from dependent
zones. Zone 3 pumps from the East Raymond Basin and the Main San Gabriel Basin.
Zone 4 has sufficient supply to meet its demand in addition to supplying ground water to
all other zones. Zone 4 pumps from the Main San Gabriel Basin.
Based on the available pumping capacities and interdependencies between zones, the
following recommendations should be considered to meet supply deficiencies.
4• Provide a new 1,500 gpm well in Zone 2
4- Provide a new 3,000 gpm well in Zone 3
Replace Longden Well 1 and 2 ad Longden Boosters with a new 3,000
gpm Longden 3 Well
5.4 Pressure Regulation
5.4.1 Low Pressure Issues
California Water Code requires that the water utility provide a minimum 20 psi residual
pressure under all conditions at the service connection for all existing services. New
systems that expand the existing system by more than 20 percent are required to provide
a minimum residual pressure of 40 psi, excluding fire flow. For purposes of this analysis,
40 psi is considered the minimum preferred pressure at the service connection to provide
reliable pressure to customers.
The Water Model was run under PHD conditions with all pumps off. Four areas of low
pressure were found.
Zone 1: In the vicinity of Elkins Avenue and Wilson Avenue pressures range from 31
psi—40 psi. This area has been identified as a potential project to create a new
Zone 5A at Wilson and Elkins. Concerns about with this include the cost to
provide electric or photovoltaic service to power communications and the cost
to upgrade affected customers with pressure regulators at their individual
services.
Zone 1A: Service connections in the vicinity of Hillcrest Blvd. and Valencia Way have
static pressure of 35 psi—40 psi.

ELM CITY OF ARCADIA
Zone 2: The northwest corner of the zone has pressures of 40 psi or less. This area is at
the top of the zone.
The City may consider establishing Zone 1B to better serve this area. This
subzone would receive supply from Zone 1 via pressure reducing stations in
Michillinda Avenue and Old Ranch Road. The sub-zone would be generally
bounded by Colorado Street on the north, Old Ranch Road on the east,
Panorama Drive on the south, and Michillinda Avenue on the west. Some
modification might have to be considered to the Chapman Well 7 discharge
and minor piping improvements would be required at the intersection of
Colorado Street and Old Ranch Road and at the intersection of Panorama Drive
and Altura Road to define the boundary between Zone 1B and Zone 2.
Zone 4: Service connections on the western boundary of the zone and the upper
boundary of the zone range from 35 psi—40 psi.
The City may consider reconfiguring pipes and valves at the boundary of
Zones 3 and 4 as part of the Annual Water Main Replacement Program.
5.4.2 High Pressure Issues
For the purposes of this analysis, high pressure was considered to be greater than 150 psi.
The Water Model was run under ADD conditions with all pumps on.
The only area affected by high pressure was at the bottom of Zone 1 due to the high
variation in elevation throughout the zone. This is not a concern at this time since the
distribution system has been adequately designed to accommodate this pressure. In
addition, all services connected to this portion of the system are required by local
plumbing code to have individual pressure reduces installed and part of their domestic
plumbing systems.
5.5 Residual Pressure under MDD plus Fire Flow
Each hydrant location was tested under MDD plus Fire Flow conditions with all pumps
under normal operations. The subsections that follow provide insight into the status of
those locations where additional capacity would meet the design criteria goals for fire
flow and residual pressure. Note that all fire flow deficiencies were found in residential
areas.

CHAPTER FIVE —ANALYSIS & RECOMMENDATIONS
CITY OF ARCADIA
ELVA
In general, fire flow requirements are assumed to be "grandfathered" in. As a result, all
hydrant locations are assumed to meet their historic fire flow requirements. However, the
Water Model was used to test for current fire flow requirements, as described in the
design criteria. Improvements to achieve the current fire flow goals should be reviewed
on a case by case basis and implemented only when an appropriate trigger would warrant
an upgrade. The most common triggers are (1) new construction, (2) subdivision of a
large parcel, and(3)changes to the water system(e.g. cyclical pipeline replacement).
5.5.1 Santa Anita Booster Pump Station—Pipeline Velocity Issues
The 12-inch transmission main connecting the discharge side of the Santa Anita Booster
Pump Station to the Canyon Reservoirs experiences velocities in excess of 9 feet per
second when three pumps are active.
It is recommended to operate two pumps only at the Santa Anita Booster Pump Station
when feasible to reduce electricity consumption. Zone 5 has excess supply capacity;
therefore,two pumps should be sufficient for most operational scenarios.
5.5.2 Camino Booster Pump Station—Pipeline Velocity Issues
The 18-inch suction and discharge pipelines for the Camino Booster Pump Station
experience velocities in excess of 7.3 feet per second when three pumps are active. This
results in 21 feet of head loss between the intersection of El Camino Real Avenue and 2nd
Avenue and the intersection of El Camino Real Avenue and Santa Anita Avenue.
5.5.3 2nd Avenue Transmission Main—Pipeline Velocity Issues
The 30-inch transmission pipeline in 2nd Avenue between Longden Avenue and El
Camino Real Avenue experiences velocities in excess of 5.7 feet per second when all
Zone 4 sources are active. This results in 12 feet of head loss at this location.
This supply scenario is assumed to occur infrequently. If additional large sources of
supply are planned for Zone 4, there may be a benefit to increasing the capacity of this
transmission main to reduce electricity consumption.

ifiCHAPTER FIVE —ANALYSIS & RECOMMENDATIONS
il 111/1 CITY OF ARCADIA
The 20-inch transmission pipeline in Santa Anita Avenue between the Orange Grove
Plant and the Santa Anita Plant experiences velocities in excess of 5.6 feet per second
when all Orange Grove Booster Pumps are active. This results in 21 feet of head loss.
There is only a minimal supply surplus for Zone 3. Therefore, this pumping scenario is
likely to occur during the summer months. The City may consider increasing the capacity
of this transmission main when it is scheduled for cyclical replacement.
5.6 Pipe Age Analysis
The City of Arcadia GIS system identifies pipelines of four different materials: cast iron
(CI), ductile iron (DIP), reinforced concrete (RCP), and steel (SP). Table 5.6 contains a
breakdown of pipe length by material and a corresponding target for annual replacement
based on a planning criteria for pipe age.

RCP 18,900 75 300
SP 16,400 95 200
Total 916200 9,900
Based on the material and length of pipe in the City's system, a replacement goal of
approximately 10,000 feet per year is recommended. Those pipes approaching their
average service life and exhibiting excessive repairs should be considered candidates for
replacement. These candidates should be coordinated with street repaving and sewer
replacement projects to take advantage of economies of scope. Table 5.7 provides an
estimate of the length of pipe by material approaching the average service life.

YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
6.1 Recommended Projects for 10-year Capital Improvement Plan
Based on the analysis performed in Chapter 5, review of uncompleted projects from
previous master plans, and discussions with Public Works Services Utilities Section staff,
a list of a capital improvement projects was developed and organized based on the type of
asset involved (i.e. Supply, Storage, Pumps, Pipelines, etc.). The complete list of projects
is provided in Section 6.2.
The current financial model adopted as part of the most recent water rate analysis projects
an average capital expenditure for water system improvements of about $2,750,000 per
year for the next 10 years. Table 6.1 shown below provides a summary of projects that
were rated as a high priority, or are associated with water quality or regulatory
compliance and which are consistent with the financial model. The timing of when these
projects would be constructed would be contingent on their relationships to other capital
improvement projects and the annual City budget overall.

1.0 LAND USE AND WATER DEMAND
1.1 The Sphere of Influence
A Sphere of Influence (SOI) is a legal description of the probable physical boundary and
service area of a local agency, as regulated by the Local Agency Formation Commission
(LAFCO) at the County level. Per LAFCo (2004):
The City of Arcadia provides retail water service to a 10 square-mile area
within the City's 12 square-mile boundaries. The City's primary source of
supply is groundwater, with approximately 70% coming from the Main
San Gabriel Basin and 30%from the Raymond Basin. Although the City is
a member agency of the Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water
District and maintains a connection, imported water is only used on an as
needed basis.
Arcadia's Sphere of Influence and City Boundary are indicated in Land Use Policy Map
of the General Plan. The water service area is essentially consistent with the City
Boundary.
1.2 Land Use
Land use is incorporated directly into the billing database by assigning each account one
of the general land use designations.
Billing Land Use Designations
Code Description
SF Single Family Residential
MF Multi-Family Residential
IM Irrigation Meter
AR City of Arcadia
CA Commercial
GV Government
These designations correspond generally to the designations in the Land Use and
Community Design Element of the 2010 General Plan. The General Plan provides
additional guidance on density.
For purposes of analysis, land use concepts are applied in two ways: (1) creating a
correlation between land use and water use, and (2) application of that correlation to the
Land Use Focus Areas described in the General Plan.

The logistic curve describes population growth within a finite area. Characteristics of the
logistic curve in terms of population include (1) 50% of maximum population occurring
at time to, (2) increasing growth earlier in time, (3) constant growth near to, and (4)
declining growth later in time.
A best fit curve was constructed using US Census data for 1990, 2000, and 2010, and
SCAG Growth Forecast Data for 2020 and 2035.
Build-out population was estimated as maximum density for all residential land use
designations as indicated in the City of Arcadia General Plan Update, assuming 2.89
persons per household'. The maximum population is the numerator of the population
equation. The other coefficients were determined using a least-mean-squared algorithm.

1.4 Water Demand
The demand analysis provides a basis for reconciling production and demand, defining
fluctuation in terms of peaking factors, and projecting future demands. The subsections
that follow explore these concepts.
1.5 Water Loss
Generally, water loss is a percentage calculated as the difference between production and
sales divided by production:
production — sales
water loss =
production

However, production and sales data are not directly compatible. Production data are
recorded on a monthly basis and sales data (i.e. billing) are recorded at the end of
bimonthly periods overlapping by billing route. To estimate water loss, sales data were
adjusted to correlate to production data as follows:
1 1
Qo = 2Q1 +2Q2
Where:
Q0 is total sales for the target month
Qi is total sales for all accounts with readings taken one month following the
target month
Q2 is total sales for all accounts with readings taken two months following the
target month
Comprehensive production and sales data were correlated for the period between July,
2008 and March,2012, as shown in the following figure.

1.8 Calculation of MDD and PHD Peaking Factors
A peaking factor is the ratio of the target demand to ADD. Peaking factors were derived
by analyzing SCADA data to develop and understanding of pressure zone level demand,
sorting for the peak day and peak hour, and scaling to account for the historical peak
month production and for attenuation.
The intent was to derive a unique MDD and PHD peaking factor for each pressure zone
directly from SCADA data; however, the SCADA system is relatively new and some data
were incomplete due to SCADA register installation and calibration issues. As a
compromise, certain pressure zones were analyzed in tandem and the results for
individual pressure zones were extrapolated. Following is a description of the
methodology and results.

1.8.1 System Theory
At any moment in time, demand with a defined system may be determined by the
following relationship:
AV
Q = Qin - QOUt - At
Where:
Q is demand
Q,,, is supply entering the system
Q0U1 is supply leaving the system
ofis the change in volume stored with respect to time
There were sufficient data to calculate hourly demand for the three following systems:
(1) System A: Zones 2 and 2A
(2) System B: Zones 3 and 4
(3) System C: Zones 5 and 6
Note that demand represents all known and unaccounted-for water uses. These results
were sorted to determine the MDD and PHD for each system for its corresponding
SCADA data set.

SCADA data were analyzed to develop an understanding of diurnal fluctuation. Diurnal
fluctuation described how demand changes over the course of the day. For purposes of
planning, diurnal fluctuation is represented as the ratio of hourly demand to daily demand
for each hour of a 24-hour period. There were sufficient data to calculate hourly demand

1.10 Water Duty Factors & Unit Demand Factors
To assist with estimating Average Day Demand associated with future development,
demand factors have been developed for various land use types through the statistical
analysis of billing and land use records.
Generally, two types of demand factors have been developed to provide flexibility in
future planning efforts. Details provided by developers and regional planners typically
include acreages of specific land uses to be developed and/or the number and type of
units to be constructed. For area based demand calculations, a Water Duty Factor is most
appropriate. A Water Duty Factor has units of demand per area (e.g. gallons per minute
per acre of medium density residential development). For planning unit based
calculations, a Unit Demand Factor is most appropriate. A Unit Demand Factor has units
of demand per planning unit (e.g. gallons per minute per medium density single family
residential dwelling unit).
Derivations of demand factors represent the mean plus one standard deviation(equivalent
to the 84th percentile) of all City records for of a given data set (i.e. land use type) that

CITY OF ARCADIA
were continuously occupied from FY 2008-09 through FY 2013-14. These factors have
been scaled up by 10%to account for water loss.
1.10.1 Single Family Residential
Based on statistical analysis of billing data pertaining to continuously occupied single
family residences, demand factors were developed in accordance with the City Planner's
guidance on residential density, as shown in the following table.
Single Family Residential Demand Factors
Unit Water Duty
SFR Density Demand Factor
Factor (gpm/acre)
(gpm/du)
Residential Estate(up to 2 du/ac) 1.88 2.46
Very Low Density Residential(2-4 du/ac) 0.94 2.66
Low Density Residential(4-6 du/ac) 0.61 2.95
Medium Density Residential(6-12 du/ac) 0.48 3.30
The City expressed concern regarding the potential change in demand resulting from
smaller single family dwelling units being replaced with larger single family dwelling
units. Assuming no change in the size of the lot, there would be a potential increase in
indoor demand and a simultaneous and proportional decrease in irrigable area. An
analysis of residential demand patterns focusing on the correlation between residential
structure area and irrigable area was inconclusive. It was determined that the incremental
increase in indoor demand and the incremental decrease in irrigation demand are
statistically insignificant.
1.10.2 Multi-Family Residential

It should be noted that the concept of multi-family residential includes apartments,
condos, townhouses, duplexes, triplexes and similar land uses.
1.10.3 Commercial
Since there is wide variation of commercial applications, three methods are provided for
estimating commercial demands: lots size, building size, and units of 1,000 square feet of
commercial space. These factors apply to applications that are not water intensive.
Water intensive applications were removed from the data set so as not to skew the results.
Water intensive applications include demands at the Santa Anita Racetrack, the Los
Angeles County Arboretum, golf courses, and the Rusnak car dealerships. Demand
factors based on lot size,building size, and square footage are illustrated as follows.

between 50% and 60% of total demand. As a result, irrigation as a metered water use is
not well reflected in billing records.

1.12 Water Use Reduction Related to New Construction
The Water Duty Factors and Unit Demand Factors provided in the previous subsection
are valid for estimating existing demand. However, new construction is subject to new
water use efficiency standards.
Per the USEPA7:
California issued new building standards on July 17, 2008, which will
mandate that all new construction reduce...water use by 20 percent, and
water for landscaping by 50 percent. .
The proposed green building code changes will take effect on a voluntary
basis on July 1, 2009, and then will become mandatory in 2010.
Per the California Building Standards Codes:
§603.2 20% Savings. A schedule of plumbing fixtures and fixture fittings
that will reduce the overall use of potable water within the building by
20%shall be provided.
§604.2 Potable water reduction. Provide water efficient landscape
irrigation design that reduces by 50%the use of potable water beyond the
initial requirements for plant installation and establishment.
Using historical data, we can approximate indoor water use as 45% of total demand, and
outdoor water use as 55% of total demand. Applying the building code mandates for
water use reduction, we should adjust demand factors for future water use by 36.5%:
Reductionindoor + Reductionoutdoor = (20%)(45%) + (50%)(55%) = 36.5%
1.12.1 Use of Water Duty Factors and Unit Demand Factors
One of the purposes of this Water Master Plan is to provide a basis for the analysis of the
impact of future development on the distribution system. To determine the demand
associated with a new development,use of the following procedure is recommended:
7 USEPA.http://www.epa.gov/statelocalclimate/state/tracking/individual/ca.html.(Site accessed February
20,2015).
8 California Green Building Standards Code.

1. Determine the type or types of land use to be included in the development.
2. Determine the acreage of each land use and multiply those acreages by the
appropriate Water Duty Factor to fmd the demands, then sum up all the demands.
3. Determine the number of units of each land use and multiply those units by the
appropriate Unit Demand Factor to fmd the demands, then sum up the demands.
4. Take the higher of the two sums computed above, or the sum that most justifiable
based on available data, as the demand for the development.
5. In the case of redevelopment or densification, estimate the demand to be removed,
if any, in a similar manner or by analysis of historical billing records for the
subject area.
6. Reduce the demand associate with the new development by 36.5% to account for
mandated building code water use efficiency.
7. The incremental increase in demand will be the demand for the new development
less the demand to be removed.
1.12.2 Future Demand
Future demand projections must account for the impacts of development and water
conservation. The City is essentially built out and nearly 100% occupied. Few major
new developments are anticipated; however, more transformative forms of development
are expected included infill, subdivision of large lots, densification and the
implementation of changes described in the General Plan related to Land Use Focus
Areas.
Infill, subdivision and densification must be reviewed on a case by basis. The impact of
Land Use Focus Areas is discussed in the following subsections.
1.12.3 Downtown Arcadia
In a 68.7-acre area generally bounded by Colorado Blvd. on the north, 2nd Avenue on the
east, Huntington Drive on the south and Santa Anita on the west, the General Plan
foresees the gradual replacement of existing Single Family Residential, Multi-Family
Residential and Commercial demands with Mixed Use demand at an FAR of 1.0 to
support anticipated activity in the vicinity of the Metro Gold Line Extension.

The Baldwin Avenue and Duarte Road Land Use Focus Area is a 1,764-acre area
generally bounded by Huntington Drive on the north, Golden West Venue on the west,
La Cadena and Lovell Avenues on the east, and Camino Real Avenue on the south. The
General Plan does not suggest a land use transition in this area; rather, incentives to
redevelop in a more pedestrian-oriented manner are provided.
Redevelopment without a change in land use should results in lower water demand as
new construction will be subject to the efficiencies associated with the current building
code. Analysis should proceed on a case by case basis in coordination with developers.

The City may expect a maximum increase in ADD of 1,230 gpm from build-out of the
Land Use Focus Areas, although the impacts of the Lower Azusa Road Reclamation Area
and Baldwin Avenue and Duarte Road Area are undetermined at this time. The actual
demand increase will be dependent on maximization of space by developers to achieve
the allowable densities and floor area ratios. In addition, the precise impact of the
building code on water use efficiency for new construction is uncertain because it may be
calculated by various means as part of the construction permitting process.
1,230 gpm represents an increase from current demand of 11.7%:

1.13 Demand Forecasting
A model was developed to assist with demand forecasting. The Demand Model takes
into account the influences of population growth, temperature, precipitation and
macroeconomics on water demand. The general equation for the Demand Model is as
follows:
Q = f(P,T,R,G) = [a(P + b)][1 + c(T — T0)][1 — ln(dR + 1)][1 + e(G — G)]
Where:
Q is demand
P is population
b is the influence on demand not related to population
a is the population multiplier
T is temperature
To is the low point where temperature change no longer influences demand
c is the temperature multiplier
R is precipitation(i.e. rain)
d is the precipitation multiplier accounting for regional soil saturation
G is growth rate in gross domestic product(GDP)

2.0 WATER QUALITY
2.1 General Description
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California
Department of Public Health(CDPH) are the public agencies responsible for drafting and
implementing regulations that ensure drinking water is safe to consume. EPA and CDPH
establish drinking water standards that limit contaminant concentrations in water
provided to the public. Local agencies involved in water quality issues include Main San
Gabriel Basin Watermaster, Raymond Basin Watermaster, the Water Quality Authority
(WQA) and Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board(LARWQCB).
2.2 Safe Drinking Water Act
The federal government, with the passage of the Safe Drinking Water Act (U.S.
Congress, 1974) through the EPA, was given the authority to set drinking water quality
standards for all drinking water delivered by community (public and/or private) water
suppliers. The SDWA requires two types of standards: primary and secondary. Primary
standards are enforceable and intended to protect public health, to the extent feasible,
using technology, treatment techniques, and other means, which the EPA determines are
generally available on the date of the enactment of the SDWA. Primary standards
include performance requirements (Maximum Contaminant Levels, or MCL's) and/or
treatment requirements. The SDWA also contains provisions for secondary drinking
water standards for MCLs on contaminants that may adversely affect odor or appearance
of water. Secondary standards are not enforceable.
The SWDA has established processes for identifying and regulating drinking water
contaminants to protect human health. The Candidate Contaminant List and the
Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule are scientifically rigorous processes for
determining the appropriate status of currently unregulated contaminants. Regulations
regarding these processes were enacted by amendment to the SDWA in 1996 to address
emerging constituents.
2.3 Consumer Confidence Report
Water utilities in California have been required to provide an annual report to their
customers since 1991, which summarizes the prior year's water quality and explains
important issues regarding their drinking water. In 1996, the United States Congress
reauthorized the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), which was originally passed in 1974
and later amended in 1986. The 1996 reauthorization called for the enhancement of
nation-wide drinking water regulations to include important components such as source
water protection and public information. The Arcadia 2014 Water Quality Report was
prepared in compliance with the consumer right-to-know regulations required by the
SDWA 1996 amendments and is provided as part of this Appendix.

Numerous wells throughout the Raymond Basin have been impacted by nitrate, a result
of historical agricultural practices and septic tank effluent. Most of the higher
concentrations of nitrate are found in the shallower portions of the Raymond Basin. If
new wells are constructed in the Raymond Basin, the City may consider setting the
perforations deeper to avoid shallow contamination.
2.5 Current and Pending Water Quality Legislation and Regulations
Changes to water quality regulations and standards and the review of legislation is
closely monitored by numerous stakeholders including EPA, CDPH and AWWA. The
following sections provide a summary of pressing issues cited by these agencies that may
impact the City.
2.5.1 Hexavalent Chromium
Hexavalent chromium, also known as chromium 6, is now regulated by the state at an
MCL of 10 µg/L. Per the City's 2013 Water Quality Report, the highest level of
hexavalent chromium concentration measured in the local groundwater was 8.9 gg/L.
This is up from 3.6 µg/L in 2012, up from 3.6 µg/L in 2011 and down from 13 µg/L in
2010.
The City is currently compliant. In the event of high hexavalent chromium
concentrations associated with specific wells in the future, the City may consider
amending an existing blending plan, removing the impacted well from service, or
implementing treatment pending further investigation.
2.5.2 Sustainable Groundwater Management Act
In response to implementation of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, the
Department of Water Resources (DWR) released the Groundwater Sustainability
Program Draft Strategic Plan in March 2015. It is anticipated that the Main San Gabriel
Basin Watermaster, the Water Quality Authority and the San Gabriel Valley Water
Association will work cooperatively to comply with the Act on behalf of purveyors with
rights in the Main San Gabriel Basin.
It is unclear at this time how the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act will directly
impact the City.
2.5.3 EDCs and Pharmaceuticals
There are increasing concerns over the detection of endocrine-disrupting compounds
(EDCs) and other pharmaceutical in water. Per AWWA, both non-point source runoff
and sewage effluent from properly operated waste treatment plants may contain minute
traces of these compounds. Some minute quantities of these products will pass through
animals and humans who use them, and enter the waste stream. They are typically not

11 TWO — WATER QUALITY
CITY OF ARCADIA
N
completely destroyed or removed by wastewater treatment processes. The concern does
not stem from the detected concentrations of these compounds, but from their mere
existence. As detection instruments become more and more sensitive, extremely low
concentrations of constituents in water can be detected. Modern devices are now able to
detect compounds at the parts-per-trillion level, and are breaching the parts-per-
quadrillion boundary in some cases. To date, however, no concentrations of EDCs or
pharmaceuticals have been detected which pose a health risk. Benchmarking and
research into treatment options is ongoing.
The impact on the City is unknown at this time. It is recommended the City monitor
legislation regarding potential development of MCLs for EDCs.
2.5.4 Groundwater Replenishment Reuse
CDPH has developed regulations10 for groundwater replenishment with recycled
municipal wastewater. These regulations would provide guidance, standards and
requirements for the implementation of a Groundwater Replenishment Reuse Project
(GRRP). A GRRP sponsor would be responsible for demonstrating project feasibility,
compliance and monitoring.
Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District (USGVMWD) has obtained funding
to study the feasibility of acting as a GRRP sponsor to bring recycled water to the Main
San Gabriel Basin for replenishment purposes (DOI,2012):
Upper District Indirect Reuse Groundwater Replenishment Project
Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District
Federal Funding: $150,000
Non-Federal Funding: $160,000
The Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District will investigate
and seek solutions to reverse diminishing groundwater supplies in the
main San Gabriel Basin. The objective is to offset current interruptible
imported supplies with 10,000 to 20,000 acre-feet annually of locally
supplied recycled water within the next 8 to 13 years. The feasibility study
will evaluate multiple sources of reclaimed water and compare these
alternatives against a "no project" alternative in order to determine the
best method for replenishment for the study area.
The City may have opportunity to participate as member agency in the USGVMWD
project, depending on the outcome of the study.

CITY OF ARCADIA
The Raymond Basin is generally classified as an unconfined to semi-confined aquifer
system. The water-bearing materials of Raymond Basin are dominated by
unconsolidated Quaternary alluvial gravel, sand, and silt deposited by streams flowing
out of the San Gabriel Mountains. Younger alluvium typically follows active streambeds
and reaches a maximum thickness of about 150 feet. Older alluvium generally thickens
southward from the mountain front, reaching a maximum of about 1,140 feet near
Pasadena, then thins to about 200 feet near the Raymond fault. The base of the water
bearing zones is considered bedrock with elevations ranging from approximately 500 feet
below sea level to 2,000 feet above mean sea level. Depth to bedrock ranges from 450 to
750 feet below ground surface (bgs) in the Monk Hill and Santa Anita subareas to more
than 1,200 feet bgs in the Pasadena subarea.
The total storage capacity of the Raymond Basin is estimated to be approximately 1.37
million acre-feet, of which approximately 40% is unused. Natural groundwater recharge
to the Raymond Basin occurs through infiltration and percolation of rainfall and surface
runoff from the San Gabriel Mountains. Groundwater discharge occurs through pumping
and subsurface outflow into the Main San Gabriel Basin across the Raymond fault.
Natural recharge from precipitation and runoff is the largest inflow to the basin.
The Raymond Basin safe yield, which is based upon native recharge and returns from use
alone, was defined as 30,622 AFY in 1955 in the Raymond Basin Judgment.

The Raymond Basin is hydraulically connected to the Main San Gabriel Basin to the
south and east along the Raymond fault. Approximately one percent of the total water in
storage in the Raymond Basin is lost across the Raymond fault annually. Parties who
store water in the Raymond Basin are assessed this 1 percent loss. No other formal
agreements govern this inter-basin flow.

The Main San Gabriel Basin Judgment accomplished a number of groundwater
management objectives, including:
(1) defining a natural safe yield under 1967 cultural conditions,
(2) determining the annual operating safe yield,
(3) specifying annual pumping rights,
(4) allowing one year for carry-over of unused water rights,
(5) enjoining unauthorized recharge, and
(6) restricting export of groundwater.
Judgment establishes watermaster to administer the judgment with responsibilities
including:
(1) management of Make-Up obligation on behalf of the basin,
(2) management of storage of supplemental water, and
(3) concern with water quality matters.
The Judgment specifies basin operating criteria that replacement water shall not be spread
when the water level at the Key Well exceeds an elevation of 250 feet and that
replacement water shall be spread as practicable to maintain the water level at the Key
Well above an elevation of 200 feet.
3.2.2 Physical Description of the Main San Gabriel Basin
The Main San Gabriel Basin lies in eastern Los Angeles County (Watermaster, 2013).
The hydrologic basin or watershed coincides with a portion of the upper San Gabriel
River watershed, and the aquifer or groundwater basin underlies most of the San Gabriel
Valley.
The Main San Gabriel Basin is bounded by the San Gabriel Mountains to the north, San
Jose Hills to the east, Puente Hills to the south, and by a series of hills and the Raymond
Fault to the west. The watershed is drained by the San Gabriel River and Rio Hondo, a
tributary of the Los Angeles River. The following figure indicates the general location of

Principal water-bearing formations of the basin are unconsolidated and semi-consolidated
sediments which range in size from coarse gravel to fine-grained sands. The major
sources of natural recharge are infiltration of rainfall on the valley floor and percolation
of runoff from the adjacent mountains. The basin also receives imported water and return
flow from applied water.
Surface area of the groundwater basin is approximately 167 square miles. The fresh water
storage capacity of the basin is estimated to be about 8.6 million acre-feet.

The following subsections provide details on each blending plan sufficient for analysis
related to supply maximization.
3.3.1 Longden Plant Nitrate Blending Plan
All groundwater sources flowing through the Longden plant originate in the Man San
Gabriel Basin. Production from Longden 1 and Longden 2 is blended with Peck Road
Well production prior to air stripping and subsequent boosting into Zone 4. The
Maximum Blending Goal (MBG) for nitrate concentration is 36 mg/L. Based on
historical sampling data, the blending plan provides the following operational constraints
to achieve the MBG:

• Reduce Longden 1 production to 2,000 gpm
• Reduce Longden 2 production to 1,500 gpm
• Peck Road Well flow for blending to be 1,500 gpm
• For maximum production, impose start-up sequence: (1) Peck Road Well, (2)
Longden 1, (3)Longden 2; and shut-down sequence in reverse order
• For lower production, impose start-up sequence: (1) Peck Road Well, (2)
Longden 1; and shut-down sequence in reverse order
The Longden Plant Blending Plan is provided as part of this Appendix.
3.3.2 St. Joseph Reservoirs Nitrate and PCE Blending Plan
All groundwater sources flowing into the St. Joseph Reservoirs originate in the Main San
Gabriel Basin. The MBG for nitrate concentration is 36 mg/L; blended nitrate
concentration is the primary focus of the St. Joseph blending plan. The MBG for PCE
concentration is 4 gg/L; although PCE is present in production from the St. Joseph Well,
there is presently no risk of exceeding the MBG based on historical sampling data.
To achieve the nitrate MBG, the City has instituted a blending plan to assure non-
exceedance by placing constraints on flow,nitrate concentrations and storage.
Constraints related to blending operations that impact planning parameters for supply
maximization include the following:
• Prior to operation of the St. Joseph Well, inflow into the St. Joseph reservoirs
from Zone 4 shall be greater than or equal 3,000 gpm as measured through the
flow meter.
• Prior to operation of the St. Joseph Well, inflow into the St. Joseph reservoirs
from Zone 4 shall be less than or equal 15 mg/1 nitrate concentration, as measured
through the nitrate analyzer.
• The St. Joseph Well shall be restricted to a maximum output of 3,500 gpm.
• Operation of St. Joseph Well will cease under the following conditions:
o Peck Road Well, or Live Oak Well shut down,
o Water elevation in the St. Joseph Reservoirs falls below 12 feet

o Flow into the reservoirs from Zone 4 falls below 3,000 gpm
o Nitrate concentration of blended water flowing into the reservoirs from

o Nitrate concentration relative to the St. Joseph Booster Station exceeds 23
mg/1 inflow, or 32 mg/1 outflow
The St. Joseph Reservoirs Nitrate and PCE Blending Plan is provided as part of this
Appendix.
3.3.3 Blending Plan for Orange Grove Reservoirs
Groundwater sources flowing into the Orange Grove Reservoirs originate from four wells
in the Santa Anita Subarea of the Raymond Basin(Orange Grove Wells 1A, 2A, 5 and 6)
and from wells in the Main San Gabriel Basin via the St. Joseph Booster Station. The
MBG for nitrate concentration is 36 mg/L; blended nitrate concentration is a concern for
production from Orange Grove Wells 1A and 5. The MBG for PCE concentration is 4
gg/L; blended PCE concentration is a concern for production from Orange Grove Wells
1A and 5. The MBG for TCE concentration is 4 µg/L; blended PCE concentration is a
concern for production from Orange Grove Wells 1A and 5. Although Orange Grove
Wells 2A and 6 have tested positive for nitrate, PCE and TCE,the concentration of those
contaminants do not pose any significant issues to blending based on historical sampling
data.
The Blending Plan for the Orange Grove Reservoirs (2009) introduces multiple blending
modes and predictions for blending concentrations in each of the four reservoirs. Given
that all the tanks are hydraulically interconnected with large diameter pipes; we believe
the fill cycle can be controlled operationally relative to predicted diurnal fluctuation such
that blending occurs in three steps:
(1) Discharge from the St. Joseph Booster Station is a blend of Zone 4 groundwater
production
(2) Inflow to the Orange Grove Plant from the St. Joseph Booster Station mixes with
production from the individual Orange Grove Wells and is stored in the tank
nearest the well when wells are in operation
(3) Outflow from the tanks to Zone 3 and to the Orange Grove Booster Pumps mixes
again in the interconnecting pipes inside the plant
Well operation should occur during a period of low demand in Zone 3 and the Orange
Grove Booster Pumps should be off during the tank filling process.

Reporting on reliability comes from a variety of sources. Local reporting entities of
interest to the City include the Los Angeles County Local Agency Formation
Commission (LAFCo) who periodically publishes municipal service reviews for public
utility providers throughout the county, and USGVMD who provides an accounting of
local wholesale activities in accordance with the Urban Water Management Planning Act.
Per LAFCo (2004):
The Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District serves as the
water wholesaler to 33 public and private entities. It provides three types
of water: treated water for direct use, untreated water for groundwater
recharge, and recycled water. It is a member agency of the Metropolitan
Water District.
The majority of water it provides is used for groundwater recharge,
mandated by two court judgments for the San Gabriel River and the Main
San Gabriel Basin. The District provides make-up water required when
the flows south of the Whittier Narrows are below the minimum
acceptable level due to the agencies above the Narrows over taping the
resource. It also provides replacement water for those agencies that
exceed their entitlement of groundwater use in the Main San Gabriel
Basin. The District recharged 31,239 acre-feet in 2002. When there is
surplus water, the District will also provide water for cyclic storage by the
agencies.
The District has also invested in developing a reliable supply of recycled
water to offset demand for treated imported water. This is available in
certain areas within its service area through the Sanitation District of Los
Angeles County's San Jose Creek Treatment Plant. Current production is
around 4,000 acre-feet. The program is projected to expand to 10,000
acre-feet per year. Conservation is an essential element in the long-range
supply plans for the Upper District and it actively supports its sub-
agencies in conservation programs.
As mentioned earlier, the Upper District supplies the City of Alhambra
with imported water as part of the Cooperative Water Exchange
Agreement. On behalf of the other six entities that share the Alhambra

pumping hole with the City, the District supplies the City with 62.6% of
the 3,000 acre-feet that Alhambra does not produce.
The Upper District has provided over$6 million to help fund groundwater
remediation facilities; the funds have been fully recovered through
litigation and negotiation with responsible parties undertaken by the San
Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority.
The Upper District did not note any current or unplanned infrastructure
needs. It is expanding its recycled water facility, which will be funded by
District capital reserves, Title XVI federal grant funds, and Metropolitan
Local Resource Plan rebates.
Per the USGVMWD 2010 UWMP:
Upper District's sub-agencies rely on water supply from: 1) Metropolitan
imported water supply; and 2) Main Basin groundwater. The
following...discuss the reliability of imported water supply from
Metropolitan and groundwater from the Main Basin.
...Upper District will be able to provide both treated imported water for
direct deliveries and untreated imported water for Replacement Water
within its WSAPII allocation for the next 20 years during single dry and
multiple dry years.
In addition, Metropolitan's 2010 RUWMPI2 has concluded that the region
can provide reliable water supplies under both the single driest year and
the multiple dry year hydrology's for the next 20 years.
Upper District's sub-agencies produce water from the Main Basin. The
amount of basin recharge affects the elevation of the Key Well, which
represents changes in the groundwater basin. ...the Main Basin
historically goes through phases of drafting, which are followed by filling.
Per the USGVMWD 2013 Integrated Resources Plan:
...MWD is aggressively developing storage, water transfers and helping to
finance local resource development in order to improve supply reliability.
"WSAP=Water Supply Allocation Plan;per the MWD 2010 RUWMP,"WSAP includes the specific
formulas for calculating member agency supply allocations and the key implementation elements needed
for administering an allocation,should a shortage be declared.Ultimately,the WSAP will be the
foundation for the urban water shortage contingency analysis required under Water Code§10632."

THREE — SOURCE OF SUPPLY
CITY OF ARCADIA
Through its own regional IRP, MWD has identified a long-term strategy
involving core resource development and other options that can be phased
in through an adaptive management approach. One key component of
MWD's IRP is the assumption of significantly increased local supplies
from recycled water, groundwater clean-up and potential seawater
desalination.
Upper District's IRP explored various water supply options in terms of
potential supply yield, costs, technology, water quality, and reliability.
These options were bundled into several integrated alternatives
(combinations of options much like a stock portfolio) that were evaluated
against a set of goals and objectives for the District in order to develop a
preferred strategy for meeting current and projected water demands in a
reliable, cost-effective and environmentally sound manner.
Key to the success of this IRP is an adaptive management approach,
whereby water supply projects can be phased in over time when needed
and adapt to changing future conditions. The IRP is not a capital
improvement plan, nor does it make definitive recommendations on
specific projects. Rather it is a long-term road map that provides Upper
District with a framework for making sound decisions. The IRP is not
intended to be a static report, but more a "living" document that will be
updated as future conditions unfold and become clearer.
The decision-making framework described above takes the form of a set of investment
options that balance reliability, cost, local control, water quality, environmental impact,
and flexibility of implementation. The preferred options include a tertiary and advanced
treated blend of recycled water for indirect potable reuse, non-potable recycled water,
centralized and decentralized storm water capture, water conservation, and water transfer
and storage.

FOUR — DESIGN AND PLANNING CRITERIA
CITY OF ARCADIA
Iftit
t ii�a1�
4.0 DESIGN AND PLANNING CRITERIA
4.1 General Description
Design and planning criteria are used (1) as a benchmark for evaluating the capacity of
the existing water distribution system, (2) as a guide for recommending improvements to
meet future conditions, and (3) as requirements for infrastructure to support new
development.
As a convention, each criterion or set of criteria is indicated in italics followed by related
references.
4.2 Design Criteria
Design criteria are used to evaluate the hydraulic capacity of the distribution system.
Such a hydraulic evaluation is a quantitative analysis comparing field measurements or
engineering calculations with a series of benchmarks that reflect customer expectations,
the regulatory environment, sustainable design, redundancy, reliability, functionality,
safety, emergency preparedness, efficiency and economics.
4.2.1 System Pressure
Goal for system pressure range: 40 psi to 150 psi.
AWWA M32 recommends 40 psi as the lower boundary of this range. The upper
boundary of 150 psi is consistent with the typical pipeline and appurtenance pressure
class for existing City infrastructure.
Goal for minimum pressure under fire flow conditions: 20 psi.
Per California Water Code §64602(a) [Minimum Pressure]:
Each distribution system shall be operated in a manner to assure that the
minimum operating pressure in the water main at the user service line
connection throughout the distribution system is not less than 20 pounds
per square inch at all times.
4.2.2 Supply
Supply refers to any water entering a pressure zone under normal operations. In the
existing system, sources of supply include wells, booster pumps, and non-emergency
pressure reducing stations. Note that a pressure zone may be open (i.e. controlled by
reservoir water level) and closed(controlled by pressure regulator).
2016 WATER MASTER PLAN UPDATE
engineering inc 4-1
FOUR— DESIGN AND PLANNING CRITERIA
OWN CITY OF ARCADIA
4.2.3 Supply to an Open Pressure Zone
Zones 1, 2, 3,4, 5, 6 and 7 are open pressure zones.
Combined capacity of dependent maximum day demand with largest single source out of
service.
Industry standard practice.
Combined capacity sufficient to refill emergency and fire storage in two days (48 hours)
with all sources operating.
This criterion is recommended in the interest of emergency preparedness. A depletion of
emergency and fire storage creates a temporary vulnerability to immediate, ongoing or
subsequent events that would otherwise be mitigated. This vulnerability can be
minimized by rapid replenishment of storage.
4.2.4 Supply to a Closed Pressure Zone
Zones 1 A and 2A are closed pressure zones.
Combined capacity of maximum day demand plus fire flow at a residual pressure of 20
psi with largest single source out of service.
Industry standard practice.
Combined capacity of peak hour demand at a system pressure of 40 psi with largest
single source out of service.
Industry standard practice.
Two regulated sources of supply.
City standards.
4.2.5 Storage Capacity
These criteria apply specifically to elevated storage reservoirs.
Goal for reservoir capacity: Sum of Operational, Fire and Emergency Storage in each
pressure zone.
• Operational Storage: 30 percent of maximum day demand
• Fire Storage: largest single required fire flow times required duration
2016 WATER MASTER PLAN UPDATE
engineering inc 4-2
FOUR— DESIGN AND PLANNING CRITERIA
CITY OF ARCADIA
• Emergency Storage: 24 hours at maximum day demand
4.2.6 Booster Pumping Station Configuration
Each booster pumping station should have a minimum of two pumps.
One pump in the station shall be considered as "standby" and shall be equal in size to the
largest of the pumps in the group.
Each station shall include a pressure relief valve back to the downstream zone.
4.2.7 Pressure Reducing Station Configuration
Pressure reducing stations that are intended to support lower zones from the higher zones,
similar to the stations serving Pressure Zones 1 A and 2A, should include at least two
valves staggered in size to deliver the required range of flow and pressure as described
Supply to a Closed Pressure Zone.
The sum of the maximum intermittent flow ratings shall be used for assessing emergency
conditions (i.e. maximum day demand plus fire flow).
The sum of the maximum continuous flow ratings shall be used for assessing normal
conditions (i.e.peak hour demand).
The minimum continuous flow rating of the smallest valve shall not exceed 20% of
average day demand.
These criteria are consistent with manufacturers' recommendations.
4.2.8 Transmission Mains
Transmission mains are intended to efficiently carry water at a high flow rate between
facilities. Head loss increases geometrically as a function of velocity. Velocities in
excess of 5 feet per second result in high energy costs.
Goal for maximum pipe velocity under normal operating conditions: 5 feet per second.
4.2.9 Distribution Main Redundancy
Distribution mains carry water to service connections and fire hydrants. Dead-end
pipelines create a vulnerability to isolated customers and are challenging to maintain.
Redundant flow pathways (aka hydraulic loops)should be provided to areas serving:
• 20 or more customers, or

WATER CONSERVATION
CITY OF ARCADIA
WA
5.0 WATER CONSERVATION
5.1 General Description
This section provides guidance for the implementation of a water conservation program
in line with the City's goals.
By convention, a water conservation project is the implementation of a unique
methodology for achieving water use reduction, and a water conservation program is a set
of projects implemented collectively to achieve a water conservation goal.
For consistency with upcoming water conservation planning efforts (i.e. 2015 UWMP),
the horizon for program implementation has been set at 2020. Costs for project
implementation reflect costs for a five-year period from 2015 to 2020.
5.2 Approach to Water Conservation
The general water conservation approach is to define a goal, then implement a cost
effective program to meet that goal. Since water conservation goals are typically long-term,
it is important to monitor progress toward the goal and make adjustments as needed to
remain on the path to goal achievement.
The City has no clearly defined mandate or internal goal for water use reduction, and has
requested an incremental approach that relates investment to water use reduction for further
consideration. With this in mind, the following approach is recommended:
♦ Create a list of candidate water use reduction projects.
♦ For each project, develop an economic model that relates investment to volume of
water saved.
• Determine the combination and intensity of projects that correlate investment to
volume of water saved.
♦ Implement the program and monitor water use reduction.
♦ Make period adjustment as needed based on program performance.
5.3 Existing Water Conservation Projects
The City's water conservation program is largely a coordinated effort involving Upper
District and MWD. Per the 2010 Urban Water Management Plan, the following activities
are providing water conservation:

• High-Efficiency Washing Machine Rebates [administered by Upper District]
• Commercial, Industrial and Institutional Program [administered by Upper
District]
♦ Residential Ultra-Low Flush Toilet Replacement Program[administered by Upper

5.3.1 Candidate Water Conservation Programs
Ten water use reduction projects were considered:
• Recycled Water
• Audit, Leak Detection and Repair
• Smart Meters
• Turf Removal
• Residential ULF Toilets
• Residential Survey
• Irrigation Controllers
• Plumbing Retrofit
• HE Washing Machine
• Rain Barrels
5.3.2 Cost and Accounting Conventions
Volumetric commodity rates have been converted to thousands of dollars per million
gallons($K/MG).
Water conservation project performance is a combination of project implementation costs
and the associated impact to revenue. The charts in this section demonstrate project
performance, implementation costs are shown as positive, revenue is shown as positive,
and net project cost is shown as costs minus revenue. Note that net project cost
2016 WATER MASTER PLAN UPDATE
engrneenng me 5-2
FIVE — WATER CONSERVATION
CITY OF ARCADIA
corresponds to total project implementation costs minus total change in revenue for the 5-
year period ending in 2020.
Recommendations for project implementation are given as a target range with limits
corresponding to a percentage of the maximum water use reduction assigned to the
project. This is equivalent to a range of costs. Included in the range of costs is the level of
intensity associated with the optimal cost solution.
The target cost ranges and optimal costs are given for the 5-year period ending in 2020.
This will provide a starting point for project funding and implementation.
No consideration to conservation goals beyond 2020 were considered in this analysis;
only costs related to achieve the target goal within the planning horizon were considered.
5.3.3 Baselines for Water Use Reduction
The following baseline data were used in the construction of individual economic models
for the water use reduction projects:
• Dwelling Units: 19,714
• Average Day Demand: 10,543 gpm
• Unaccounted-for-Water: 11% of Average Day Demand
• Commodity Rate for Potable Water Service: 1.40 ($/CCF)
• Equivalent Commodity Rate for Potable Water Service: 1.87 ($K/MG)
• Upper District Replenishment Rate: 707 ($/AF)
• Equivalent Upper District Replenishment Rate: 2.17 ($K/MG)
• LACSD Recycled Water Rate: 400 ($/AF)
• Equivalent LACSD Recycled Water Rate: 1.23 ($K/MG)
Projects considered to deliver a continuous incremental impact to water use reduction
were assigned a revenue impact of 2.5 times the reduction rate.
As shown in the following figure the reduction rate (R) increases steadily over five years
until the target reduction rate(Ro) is achieved.

5.4 Water Conservation Program Scope and Goals
The scope of the water conservation is a planning horizon and a level of water use
reduction. The planning horizon has been set a five years (i.e. 2020), which is consistent
with the requirements of the UWMP Act. The level of water use reduction has been
presented as a curve relating investment to volume saved. This curve is intended to serve
as guidance to the City in choosing a preferable level of water use reduction.

The subsections that follow provide assumptions and methodologies used in the
development of economic models.
5.4.2 Recycled Water
Recycled water is a low quality alternative to potable water and is suitable for irrigation
and certain industrials uses. To meet health regulations, recycled water must be
distributed via a dedicated system separate from the potable water system. The City
conducted a recycled water study included in its 2010 UWMP demonstrating the
potential demand for recycled water and the level of dedicated infrastructure needed to
implement a recycled water distribution system.
Cost Assumptions:
• Engineering and Operations: $1 million (engineering, permitting, compliance,
personnel, training, etc.)
• Facilities: $2 million (pumping, storage, metering, billing system, control
structures, etc.)
• Comprehensive Distribution: $9.2 million(92,000 feet of pipe at$100 per foot)
• Partial Distribution: $5.3 million (53,000 feet of pipe at $100 per foot) —pipeline
needed to reach the first four large demands (Arcadia High School, Santa Anita
Park, Santa Anita Golf Course, and Arcadia County Park)
• Capitalization: 30 years at 6%
• Project Implementation Costs: first five years of the capitalized annual payment

Water Use Reduction Assumptions:
• Total Potential Demand Conversion: 210 MGY
• Partial Demand Conversion: 119 MGY — 53,000 feet of pipe are needed to reach
the first four large demands (Arcadia High School, Santa Anita Park, Santa Anita
Golf Course, and Arcadia County Park).
Revenue Assumptions:
There will be no revenue impact within the planning horizon because the project will take
longer than five years to construct.
Once complete,this project is considered a revenue transfer.
The City will experience a drop in revenue at a rate of 1.87 $K/MG due to loss in sales.
The City will experience a gain in revenue due to sales of recycled water. For planning
purposes, the recycled water rate is assumed to be 70% of the potable water rate, which is
consistent with the City of Pomona.
The City will experience a drop in replenishment water costs at a rate of 2.17 $K/MG.
The City will experience an increase in wholesale recycled water from Los Angeles
County at 1.23 $K/MG.

5.4.3 Audit, Leak Detection and Repair
Per CUWCC (2005),this activity consists of three components:
• System audits
• Leak detection
• Leak repair
Per AWWA (1999), system audits include quantifying all produced and sold water, and
includes testing meters, verifying records and maps, and field checking distribution
controls and operating procedures. The objective is to determine the amount of water that
is lost and unaccounted for in the system. System audits may identify losses from:
• Accounting procedure errors
• Illegal connections and theft
• Malfunction distribution-system controls
• Reservoir seepage, leakage, and overflow
2016 WATER MASTER PLAN UPDATE

FIVE —WATER CONSERVATION
CITY'OF ARCADIA
• Evaporation
• Detected and undetected leaks
Leak detection is the process of searching for and finding leaks in the system with sonic,
visual, or other indicators. It should be noted that sonic and acoustic leak detection
equipment have been found to be more accurate for smaller systems than for larger
systems. Audits and detection programs incur costs whether or not repairs are made; thus,
audits and detection alone do not save water. Conversely, leaks are sometimes discovered
without organized audit and detection programs.
Cost Assumptions:
A review of studies cited by CUWCC (2005) indicates a range of cost per volume saved
between $318 per acre-foot and$658 per acre-foot with the typical cost at $430 per acre-
foot. The initial investment(i.e. costs excluding repairs)is estimated at $100,000.
Savings Assumptions:
Water loss is estimated at 11%. Water loss can be reduced to 5% with aggressive tactics.
Of the 6% potential savings, 3.5% of water loss is attributed to leaks and 2.5% is
attributed to inaccurate meters.
ADD is 10,543 gpm. 3.5% of ADD is equivalent to a maximum savings of 194 MGY.
Revenue Assumptions:
A reduction in water loss relates directly to a drop in replenishment water costs at a rate
of 2.17 $K/MG.
Limits of Project Implementation:
• Do nothing scenario,or from 20 MGY which is cost neutral to 194 MGY at a cost
of 100 $K.
• Note that a portion of the implementation intensity curve shows negative costs,
which implies the project would pay for itself

5.4.4 Smart Meters
Smart Meters work in tandem with leak detection and repair to reduce water loss (more
specifically non-revenue water) by identifying defective meters for replacement and
inaccurate meters for recalibration. It is understood the City already has a meter
replacement program in place. The Smart Meters project would complement the meter
replacement program by getting the most out these new assets through efficient
application.
A Smart Meter is an electronic transmitter that collects real-time consumption data and
sends it to a central processing unit for analysis. Needed infrastructure includes
transmission towers for collection of radio transmissions, and a computer system for data
processing. The computer system detects anomalies in meter data that may be due to
meter inaccuracy or to leaks on the customer side of the meter.

5.4.7 Residential Survey
Per CUWCC (2005), residential home surveys target both indoor and outdoor water use.
In practice, home surveys usually include a site visit by trained staff that: (1) solicits
information on current water use practices; and (2) makes recommendations for
improvements in those practices. Sometimes, indoor plumbing retrofit devices are
directly installed when appropriate. The outdoor portion of the survey can vary widely,
ranging from an intensive outdoor water efficiency study (turf audit, catch can test, and
written recommendations for irrigation scheduling or landscape changes) to simple
provision of a brochure on outdoor watering practices.
Cost Assumptions:
• Annual Administrative Costs: $10,000
• Cost per Survey: $40
• Recommended Survey Frequency: 5 years

5.4.9 Plumbing Retrofit
Per CUWCC (2005), residential plumbing retrofit involves modifying the following
fixtures with low flow devices: showerheads,toilets and faucets.
Low flow (LF) showerheads are designed to provide water at lower rates of water flow.
Flow is typically measured in gallons per minute and low flow showerheads are rated at
2.5 gallons per minute (gpm) or less (at pressure levels up to 80 psi). California state law
currently requires that all showerheads sold in the state meet the 2.5 gpm standard.
Toilet displacement devices come in a variety of designs that displace some water
volume in the toilet tank. Since less water is needed to refill the tank, less water is used
per flush. Toilet leak detection is typically performed with dye tablets.
Faucet aerators reduce flow from faucets.

6.5 Supply Recommendations
In Zone 4, dependence on the Peck Well as a blending source for the Longden Plant is a
vulnerability to firm supply capacity. To mitigate this dependency, there are three options
to consider: (1) develop an alternative source of blending water as a back up to the Peck
Well, (2) implement on-site treatment at the Longden Plant to create independence of the
Longden Wells as sources of supply, or (3) replace the Longden Wells. Following
implementation of one of these solutions, the supply capacity of Zone 4 should be
reassessed to determine if additional supply is required.
In Zone 2, additional pumping from the Raymond Basin should be implemented. This
may be some combination of bringing inactive wells back on line or constructing new
wells. The goals for additional sources are 1,000 gpm for firm capacity and 2,000 gpm
for emergency refill capacity.
6.6 Water Storage
Although there is sufficient total storage to meet the sum of the storage requirements, the
distribution of storage throughout the system shows challenges for Zones 1, 2 and 7.
There are limited opportunities for storage sharing by gravity; however, there is surplus
storage is Zones 3 and 4 that should be leveraged to mitigate shortfalls in Zones 1 and 2.
It is understood that the City is aware of the challenges in Zone 7 and has an emergency
response plan in place for fire flow events that would otherwise completely drain storage.
There are three options to mitigate the storage challenges in Zones 1 and 2, as described
in the following subsections.
2016 WATER MASTER PLAN UPDATE

SIX— WATER SYSTEM ANALYSIS
CITY OF ARCADIA
6.6.1 Storage Option 1 —Construct Additional Storage
Constructing additional storage is a long-term solution and should take into consideration
the impact of future development outlined in Section 2.
Construct 3 MG of additional storage in Zone 1.
Construct 2 MG of additional storage in Zone 2.
6.6.2 Storage Option 2—Strengthen Transmission Corridor
Strengthening transmission is a near-term solution. There is surplus storage in Zone 3
and Zone 4. To take advantage of this strength, emergency power generation would
assure storage sharing between the deficient zones and the zones with surplus. It is
understood that there is existing emergency power generation at the Camino Plant. This
assures that surplus storage in Zone 4 is available to Zone 3. To assure access to this
surplus in the deficient zones, provide emergency power generation at the Orange Grove
Plant sufficient to pump 2,100 gpm to Zone 1:
(3,000,000 gallons\ ( day l _

6.6.3 Storage Option 3— Partner with Upper District
A partnership with Upper District to make up the storage deficit by accessing storage in
the wholesaler's system is an administrative solution. It is understood that the City
maintains an MWD turnout in Zone 1 and has an agreement to access storage on an
emergency basis.

The City may consider establishing Zone 1B to better serve this area. This subzone would
receive supply from Zone 1 via pressure reducing stations in Michillinda Avenue and Old
Ranch Road. The subzone would be generally bounded by Colorado Street on the north,
Old Ranch Road on the east, Michillinda Avenue on the west and Panorama Drive on the
south. The Chapman Well would have to be configured to discharge to Zone 1. Minor
piping improvements would be required at the intersection of Colorado Street and Old
Ranch Road and the intersection of Panorama Drive and Altura Road to define the
boundary between Zone 1B and Zone 2.
Low Pressure in Zone 1

6.8 Pipe Velocity
The design criteria goal for pipe velocity is aimed at achieving efficient transmission to
cut down on energy costs. Pipelines that connect facilities together are considered
transmission pipelines.
The Water Model was run under ADD conditions with all pumps on. The subsections that
follow describe critical transmission corridors where energy efficiency could be
improved.
6.9 Pipeline Redundancy Analysis
Distribution mains carry water to service connections and fire hydrants. Dead-end
pipelines create a vulnerability to isolated customers and are challenging to maintain.
According to the design criteria,there should be:
Redundant flow pathways (aka hydraulic loops)should be provided to areas serving:
• 20 or more customers, or
• an ADD of 20 gpm or more.
The following locations were identified as dead-end pipelines serving (1) 20 or more
meters or(2)20 gpm or more of ADD:
• Valencia Way north of Foothill Blvd.
• Santa Maria Road north of Colorado Blvd.
• Arcadia Avenue west of Temple City Blvd.
• Sandra Avenue east of El Monte Avenue
• Louise Avenue north of Rodell Place
• El Capitan Avenue north of Rodell Place
• Greenfield Avenue north of Live Oak Avenue
• Grace Avenue north of Lemon Avenue
• Magna Vista Avenue west of Santa Anita Avenue

Pipelines were sorted in the GIS database based on age and material. The GIS contains
some data gaps with respect to pipe age and material. Note that the Water Model also
contains data on pipe age and material; however, the GIS database was found to be much
more accurate.

Alternative 1 for Louise/El Capitan/Greenfield Upgrade
Description
Acquire an easement and install 700 feet of 8-inch pipe connecting the northern
terminuses of Louise Avenue, El Capitan Avenue and Greenfield Avenue.
Prioritization—Medium
This alternative achieves multiple design criteria goals: fire flow and pipeline
redundancy. However, acquiring an easement may be complicated and installing the new
pipeline may be disruptive. Furthermore, future access to the new pipeline may be
limited. Despite these disadvantages, the new pipeline will provide decades of superior
fire flow capacity and pipeline redundancy.
Justification
This alternative solves three residential fire flow deficiencies (2 in Greenfield Avenue
and 1 on El Capitan Avenue) and three pipeline redundancy issues (1 each in Louise
Avenue, El Capitan Avenue and Greenfield Avenue).

6.12 Reservoir Assessment
If properly maintained, a reservoir can last indefinitely. For purposes of analysis, the
average service life for reservoirs has been set at 80 years per planning criteria. As
reservoirs approach the average service life, additional scrutiny of inspection reports is
warranted to determine whether replacement would be a benefit to the City. The
following table provides an assessment based on age of the active reservoirs.

all located in Zone 3, which currently has a storage surplus of 1.30 MG. If one or more of
these reservoirs is identified for replacement, the City should consider the implications of
future demand in sizing replacements. The Chapman and Longden Forebays are beyond
the 80-year average service life.
6.13 Pump Assessment
There are 14 well pumps and 29 booster pumps. Assuming an average service life of 30
years per pump, the City should budget for 1.4 pump replacements each year(28 over 20
years):
(14 well pumps + 29 booster pumps)
1.4 pump replacements per year

CITY OF ARCADIA
3.0 ASSET MANAGEMENT
3.1 General Description
Planning criteria are a foundational concept for asset management. All components of
the distribution system have a finite practical service life. In general, this means that at
some point in time following component installation, the benefits of replacement
outweigh the benefits of repair.
It is understood that the City is implementing a new GIS-based asset management
system. Such a system would enable the City to identify candidate maintenance,
replacement, and capital projects using quantitative analysis, provided performance data
are gathered and stored in an appropriate format.
To assist with the development of the asset management system, the type and format of
data to be included is provided in the following subsections as a recommendation. The
goal of this future data collection effort is to provide a platform for informed decision-
making with respect to asset management, capital replacement, and capital improvement
projects.
3.2 Wells
Wells are the primary source of water for the City.
Well Components
Wells consist of three basic component groups: casing,pump and site.
A well casing and well packing are static components that tend to have a long service
life. These components may be susceptible to corrosion or to a loss of capacity due to
changes in geology or hydrology.
A well pump and motor are the primary mechanical components of a well and have a
predictable service life based on size,hours of operation and maintenance.
At the well site, the remaining components of a well include electrical, piping, valves,
disinfection equipment,water level sounding tubes, SCADA registers, and meters.

3.3 Air Strippers
Air strippers reduce VOC concentration in the water supply by exposing the production
stream to the atmosphere so volatilization of dissolved contaminants takes place.
Air Stripper Components
An air stripper generally consists of packing material contained in a tower and a fan to
force air through the packing material to evacuate VOCs diffused during the aeration
process. The packing material and piping may be subject to scaling depending on the
influent water quality. The packing material should be inspected periodically for scaling.
The fan is a mechanical component that requires replacement on a periodic basis due to
normal wear. A change in effluent water quality may indicate a drop in air stripper
efficiency.

3.5 Booster Pumps
Booster pumps regulate the flow of water from a region with lower pressure to a region
with higher pressure.
Booster Pump Components
Booster pumps consist of two basic component groups: the pumps themselves and
ancillary equipment at the site.
Ancillary equipment includes piping, valves, electrical and SCADA registers.
These components tend to experience normal wear per hours of operation and may be
vulnerable to surge and to the impacts of particulate suspended in the groundwater under
high velocity. A drop in pumping efficiency is an indicator of mechanical wear. Erosion
of pipe interior coatings, leaking gaskets,poorly sealing valves and signs of corrosion are
indicators of wear to piping components.

3.6 Control Valves
Control valves regulate the flow of water from a region with higher pressure to a region
with lower pressure.
Control Valve Components
In general, control valves are sturdy and designed with few moving parts. The valve
body has a long service life and may often be refurbished rather than replaced. Other
components should be replaced as needed due to wear. The interior coating and
mechanisms are susceptible to erosion if water quality is low or flowing water contains
particulate. Gauges and tubing may require periodic replacement. All mechanical
components are subject to hydraulic transients and may wear prematurely if left
unchecked.
Control valves consist of two basic component groups: the valve itself and ancillary
equipment.

1.0 WATER SYSTEM MODELING SUMMARY
1.1 General Description
The Water Model is an important tool for assessing the distribution system with respect
to capacity, compliance, efficiency and performance. It is ideally suited for evaluating
alternative solutions to a hydraulic deficiency and for performing time-based analyses
such as emergency storage recovery, disinfectant residual decay and the feasibility of
implementing time-of-use energy conservation. This chapter describes the status of the
Water Model.
1.2 Modeling Software
The Water Model utilized InfoWater software by Innovyze. This software package uses
ArcGIS as a visual interface and a hydraulic gradient algorithm to compute hydraulic
solutions.
1.3 Basis for the Calculation
The Water Model is a calculator. Like any other calculator, the user provides input data,
the calculator performs a function using the input data, and the calculator produces the
resulting output data. More specifically, based on a set of boundary conditions (input),
the Water Model calculates a Steady State solution(output).
The basis for the calculation performed by the Water Model is in three parts: (1)
conservation of mass, (2) conservation of energy and(3) energy loss due to friction.
1.3.1 Conservation of Mass
Conservation of mass is assumed to be equivalent to conservation of volume (i.e. under
normal system pressures and temperatures, water behaves as an incompressible liquid).
Flow (Q) is defined as volume divided by time. The Water Model is programmed using
gallons per minute (gpm) to describe all flows. Conservation of mass dictates that at any
moment in time (i.e. an infmitely small time interval), the flow entering and leaving any
point in the system must equal zero (i.e. mass cannot be spontaneously destroyed or
created).
The following figure represents a pipe intersection in a distribution system with flow
directions as indicated. According to conservation of mass, the inflows to and outflows
from the intersection must equal zero.

example, conservation of mass holds at the point where the four pipes come together:

1.3.2 Conservation of Energy
The Water Model is programmed to provide output in terms of pounds per square inch
(psi) at a known elevation and hydraulic head in feet to describe energy at any point in
the system. Conservation of energy (aka Bernoulli's theorem) dictates that the net
change in energy between two hydraulically linked points must be equivalent to the
energy gains and losses in the connecting pipes (i.e. energy cannot be spontaneously lost
or gained). For simplicity, the Water Model considers the energy of the momentum
component of Bernoulli's theorem to be negligible for the velocities and configuration of
a typical water distribution system.
The following figure represents a length pipe in a distribution system with a flow
direction as indicated (for purposes of this demonstration, assume no change in elevation
between the ends of the pipe length). According to conservation of energy, the difference
in pressure at either end of the length of pipe plus the energy loss in the pipe must equal
zero.

length of pipe shown in red:

pout — Pin + pions
1.3.3 Energy Loss Due to Friction
The Water Model is programmed to calculate head loss due to friction using the Hazen-
Williams Equation for head loss in pipes. The Hazen-Williams Equation is an empirical
formula which describes with reasonable accuracy the head loss in a pipe for the typical
range of diameters and velocities in a water distribution system.
If pipe length, diameter, and roughness are known, then the relationship between flow
rate and energy loss due to friction can be predicted with reasonable accuracy, per the
following formula:
10011.852 Q1.852
H1055 = 208.3E C I D4.8655
Where:
H1oss is the head loss due to friction in feet
L is the length of the pipe in feet

1.3.4 An Iterative Solution
Application of the calculation and its three parts requires an iterative approach. The
Water Model assumes a flow in every pipe which implies a pressure at each end of the
pipe. Incremental adjustments to flow are made until the Water Model achieves a steady
state solution within a predetermined tolerance.
1.4 Input Data and Simulation Conditions
Input data(aka boundary conditions) are broken down into fixed data and variable data.
Fixed data do not change with time, and are generally described as infrastructure(i.e. the
location, alignment, geometry and connectivity of pipes, pumps, valves, tanks and
aquifers). The Water Model stores fixed data as Element Databases, and the user selects
precisely which elements to include in a simulation by defining a Facility Set (i.e. a
collection of Element Databases).
Variable data are subject to change with time, including pump or valves settings and
controls, demand and demand fluctuation, supply availability, aquifer depth, etc. The
Water Model stores variable data as Data Subsets, and the user selects precisely which
variable data to include in a simulation by defining a Data Set (i.e. a collection of Data
Subsets).
Prior to initiating the simulation, the user defines the conditions of the simulation(i.e. the
calculation to be performed). Conditions used in the preparation of this report include:
• Steady State Simulation(a single solution at a moment in time)
• Extended Period Simulation(EPS—a dynamic solution that describes incremental
acceleration within the system over a designated time period at predetermined
time intervals)
• Fire Flow Simulation (a series of steady state solutions assuming a fire flow
demand is applied to designated hydrant locations in turn)
• Multi-Fire Flow Simulation (a steady solution describing the performance of
multiple hydrants flowing simultaneously)
2015 WATER MASTER PLAN UPDATE
engineering inc 1-5
ONE — WATER SYSTEM MODELING SUMMARY
CITY OF ARCADIA
• Surge Analysis(a dynamic solution describing the pressure wave generated in the
moment following the application of a hydraulic transient).
The power of the Water Model is to save and recall any combination of fixed data,
variable data and simulation conditions. These are referred to as Scenarios in the Water
Model.
1.5 Output Data
Following a successful simulation, Water Model output data include: (1) pressure at
every node; (2) flow and energy losses through every pipe; (3) performance of every
control valve, pump and tank; (4) and water age and chlorine residual at every node.
Data output format may be tabular, graphic or both depending on the nature of the
Scenario.
1.5.1 Development of Modeling Parameters
To prepare the Water Model for simulation, pump performance curves and demand
allocation were updated to current specifications.
1.6 Pump Performance
Pumps are designed to add energy and flow to the system. The energy component is
called total dynamic head (TDH) and is given in units of feet (notated as H). TDH is the
energy required to raise the water from a lower elevation to a higher elevation(i.e. static
lift) plus the losses resulting from friction and changes in momentum. Flow (Q) is
measured in gallons per minutes (gpm). A pump performance curve describes the
relationship between Q and H for a given pump and motor combination.
The Water Model includes a performance curve for each pump. Performance curves were
updated per the most current data. To update a pump curve, the manufacturer's
performance curve is recalculated using the Affinity Laws to make the curve pass
through the observed flow and head from the most recent SCE pump efficiency test. See
Appendix B4 for the updated pump performance curves.
1.7 Steady State Demand Allocation
1 A hydraulic transient describes the acceleration of water in a pipe from one steady state condition to
another, typically due the activation or deactivation of a pump or the operation of a valve. High
acceleration induces a pressure wave(aka surge or water hammer)in the water column which may damage
sensitive equipment or burst pipes.
