ISSUE
State Law and District Code require that a public hearing be held to receive public comment on ordinances
which revise District Code.
BACKGROUND
Title 11 -Recycled Water
Central San staff conducted a review of District Code Title 11 - Recycled Water and made substantial
changes. Title 11 had not been reviewed since 2008 and updates were required to comply with State
regulations and evolving industry standards. Additionally, updates were made to reflect staff's expertise
and experience in administering the Recycled Water program.
Attachments 1-3 contain a copy of the original language of Title 11, a copy of Title 11 with the proposed
changes, and a redline version showing the changes. The following are the most significant changes:
1. Policy Statement Revision: The updated policy statement reflects a shift from a primarily economic and
operational perspective to a broader sustainability and regulatory compliance perspective. It positions recycled

Page 2 of 30
water as critical for addressing California's water scarcity issues as well as limiting wastewater discharges to the
bay.
2. Changes to Definitions: The updated definitions create consistency with current legal standards and ensure
better alignment with State-wide policies. Definitions now include references to regulatory documents such as
the California Water Code and the Uniform Statewide Recycling Criteria. Additionally, certain definitions such as
"Point of Connection" have been expanded to reflect staffs experience in administering the program.
3. Expanded Customer Responsibilities: The updated language imposes stricter oversight and reporting
requirements on customers, ensuring better system management and minimizing risks to public health, safety,
and the environment. Currently, customers are required to designate a site supervisor for overseeing compliance
and maintaining the system, perform a monthly inspection, and report any deficiencies arising from inspections.
The proposed language requires the site supervisor role to include mandatory training, certifications, and
reporting responsibilities for system changes, leaks, and cross -connection tests. Additionally, specific obligations
for training onsite personnel and identifying equipment have been expanded.
4. Fee and Penalty Revisions: The updated fee and penalty provisions provide stronger enforcement
mechanisms and incentivize compliance. They also demonstrate a shift toward ensuring equitable financial
accountability among customers. The penalty for non-compliance or unauthorized use of water increased from
$200 to $500. Additionally, a clear structure for billing adjustments has been introduced.
Title 2 Admin
An update to District Code section 2.36.10 is being proposed to reflect the organizational change implemented
in 2022 regarding the purchasing function. At that time the District's Purchasing function was incorporated into
the Finance Division, while the Materials Services (Warehouse) workgroup which was previously part of
Purchasing, began reporting directly to the Deputy General Manager -Administration. The change to the
District code reflects those organizational changes as seen in Attachment 3.
ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS
The Board of Directors (Board) could choose to give staff different direction on the proposed revisions to
District Code.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
No financial impacts are anticipated by this action.

experiences water shortages and recycled water is one of the major alternatives for an uninterruptible
source of water S thp m and reel-.rnatien ^f;, astewater supply. Accordingly,
it is appropriate for recycled water customers to pay their proportionate share of the District's costs to
produce and supply recycled water. At the same ti.,.,, there is a need to price recycled water in a manner so
as to provide a cost competitive alternative to local potable water sources. Therefore, the District shall take

A. It is the policy of this District to promote the use of recycled water to comply with requirements and
restrictions set by the Regional Water Quality Control Board to limit wastewater discharges to the San
Francisco Bay, and to augment the region's water supply with the District's water resources. The State of
California consistently experiences water shortages and recycled water is one of the major alternatives for an
uninterruptible source of water supply. Accordingly, it is appropriate for recycled water customers to pay
their proportionate share of the District's costs to produce and supply recycled water.
B. The rates for recycled water service provided pursuant to a District permit shall be governed by the rate
structure and procedures set forth in the recycled water provisions of Title 6.
C. Pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 6512, the District may acquire, plan, construct,
reconstruct, alter, enlarge, lay renew, replace, maintain and operate water recycling and distribution systems

Water Requirements. The standard specifications shall be established and may be amended from time to time by
ordinance and kept on file with the District Secretary in an uncodified manner. The use of any recycled water
facility connected to the District system that fails to comply with the standard specifications applicable at the time
of its connection to the District recycled water facilities constitutes a danger to human health and safety, public
and private property, and the environment, and shall be considered a public nuisance.
11.10.025 Recycled water distribution facilities to be built for ultimate service.
All recycled water distribution facilities to be connected to the District system shall be designed and
constructed in a manner consistent with service to the ultimate tributary service area. The District shall review plans
submitted for the construction of new or modified recycled water facilities to evaluate the service requirements for
the ultimate tributary service area.
