EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Abalone Cove Sewer Service Charge (Charge) has been in existence since July
2001. The Charge was enacted pursuant to Ordinance No. 367U on August 7, 2001, in
compliance with the procedures set forth under Proposition 218. Pursuant to said
Ordinance No. 367U, a 7% annual escalator for inflationary adjustments was also
1
approved after a noticed public hearing. Revenues collected through the Charge help
pay for maintenance of the sewer system. Since inception, the annual revenue from the
Charge has ranged from $21,595 (FY01-02 and FY02-03) to $58,113 for FY17-18.
Each parcel is charged pursuant to the specific subsystems used by each parcel. At the
inception of the Charge, the City established a policy of subsidizing the cost of
maintenance of the system in an effort to reduce the charges to property owners and
provide funding to adequately maintain the system. However, in 2010, the City Council
directed Staff to develop a procedure that would ultimately eliminate the taxpayer
subsidy. The proposed subsidy for FY18-19 is $152,135.33.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
To ensure funding for the on-going operation and maintenance of the sewer facilities in
the Abalone Cove area, the City Council established the Sewer Service Charge
(Charge) in July 2001. The Charge ensures a fair and equitable levying of the
necessary costs of operating and maintaining the facilities.
The City Council annually reviews the current and projected costs for operating and
maintaining the sewer facilities and sets rates for the ensuing fiscal year. In setting the
annual rates, the City Council considers any new or updated maintenance costs
identified in the FY18-19 Engineer’s Report (Attachment A), any fund balances or
shortages, and adjusts the rates accordingly.
To levy the Charge for FY18-19, the City holds a public hearing. An estimate of the
total annual operating costs and the corresponding Charge required of each property is
provided in Attachment A. The Charge for FY18-19 will be submitted to the County for
collection through the tax rolls. To that end, the City Council annually adopts a
resolution approving the report and ordering collection of the Charge on the tax rolls
(Attachment B).
The estimated annual cost to operate and maintain the Abalone Cove Sewer System for
FY18-19 is $205,100, which is lower than the actual amount for FY17-18. The
decrease, which is within the constraints of Ordinance No. 367U, represents the
estimated on-going system maintenance requirements (Attachment E). The historical
Operation and Maintenance costs, City contributions (subsidy), and the charges for past
fiscal years are shown in Attachment C.
Through the current budget process, the City has budgeted funds for FY18-19 to
accommodate a subsidy. Based upon the FY18-19 Engineer’s Report (Attachment A),
the anticipated maintenance needs require a subsidy of $152,135.33. The Report
groups parcels into various rate zones based on the specific combination of sewer
subsystems used by each parcel. The charge for one specific parcel in the district, that
has multiple cottages on the property, was being calculated based upon several Zone D
connections. The charge was adjusted this year to reflect the actual usage of this
parcel, which included one Zone D connection and several Zone A connections. This
correction, along with a reduction to the estimated maintenance of the Force Main
Subsystem, resulted in a reduction of the Charge, $5,148 over the charge for the
2
previous year. The proposed FY18-19 charge for a single-family parcel ranges from
$176.76 to $747.81. The charges for all zones (A, B, C and D) are at the maximum
allowable rates. The proposed changes for these zones range from -$0.08 to $24.73
per parcel as shown in the table below. A description of the proposed Charge by zone,
and a chart showing the historic and proposed FY18-19 charges, are shown in
Attachment D.
The Ordinance establishing the Charge also established the maximum service charge
that can be levied, which is adjusted each year based on changes in the Consumer
Price Index (CPI) and is determined based on the Equivalent Rate Unit (ERU) method.
The maximum service charges by zone for the FY18-19 are as follows:
FY17-18 Proposed Proposed
Max. Rates Increase/Zone FY17-18 Rate
Zone A $170.62/ERU $ 6.14 $176.76/ERU
Zone B $686.93/ERU $24.73 $711.66/ERU
Zone C $231.59/ERU $ 8.34 $239.93/ERU
Zone D $747.89/ERU -$ 0.08 $747.81/ERU
The City Council has directed Staff to study and develop possible options to reduce the
City subsidy to zero. Staff is working to bring the Abalone Cove Sewer System into an
operating condition consistent with Los Angeles County standards. It is anticipated that
alternatives which may be chosen to reduce the subsidy could be brought forward at the
October 2, 2018, City Council Meeting. Funding for this year’s sewer system upgrade
program for the Abalone Cove Sewer System has been approved through the regular
budget process for FY18-19.
The public hearing is being conducted pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section
5473 for the purpose of electing to collect the Charge on the County Tax Roll. Should
there be a majority protest, the City Council is still authorized to collect the Charge
(since it is within the confines of Ordinance No. 367U), but will have to provide an
alternative method of collection at a subsequent meeting.
ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to the Staff recommendations, the following alternative actions are available
for the City Council’s consideration:
1. Reduce or eliminate the Charge. Increasing the Charge is not an option
because the proposed FY18-19 charges are at the maximum allowable
rates under the Ordinance, and to increase the charges above these rates
would require the City Council to undertake increase proceedings in
compliance with Proposition 218.
2. Reduce, eliminate or increase the subsidy: The City is required by law to
ensure the safe operation and maintenance of the sewer systems it owns.
The Engineer’s Report includes the best estimates of the necessary
3
revenues to operate and maintain the system. Thus, the City would need
to increase the subsidy or be subject to regulatory fines in the event of
system failures if the Charge was reduced or eliminated.

INTRODUCTION
To insure a flow of funds for the on-going operation and maintenance of the sewer facilities in the
Abalone Cove area, the City Council formed the Abalone Cove Sewer Service Charge. This Sewer
Service Charge ensures a fair and equitable levying of the necessary costs of operating and
maintaining of the facilities and was established in compliance with the provisions of Proposition 218,
Article XIIID of the California Constitution, Section 6(b). Mailed notices were sent to all affected
property owners and the Public Hearing was held on July 17, 2001. Since there was not a majority of
written protests, the charge was established with a not to exceed maximum increase of seven percent
(7%) each year.
This report, as signed and presented to the Council for approval, has been prepared according to the
methodology and rates approved by the City Council in 2001.
The City Council annually reviews the current and projected year's costs for the operation and
maintenance of the sewer facilities and sets the rates for the ensuing fiscal year, which runs between
July 1 and June 30. In setting the annual rates, the City Council will consider any new or updated
maintenance costs, any fund balances or shortages, and adjust the rates accordingly.
The Abalone Cove Sewer Service Charge is levied under the authority of the California Health and
Safety Code, Sections 5471 et seq. (the "Code"). Payment of the charges for each parcel will be made
in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for county property taxes for each
property.
This report contains the necessary data required to establish the annual charge rates and is submitted
to the City Clerk for filing in the office of the City Clerk where it shall remain open for public inspection.

ANNUAL CHARGE RATE CALCULATIONS
The rate structure for the Sewer Service Charge is based on the amount of sewage flow generated by
each parcel of land within the sewer system service area.
Equivalent Residential Units
The sewer flow rates used to calculate this User Charge are based on the Los Angeles County
Sanitation District (LACSD) standards, as outlined in their Master Service Charge Ordinance of South
Bay Cities Sanitation District of Los Angeles County, as adopted on March 18, 1998. This ordinance
describes the user categories and mean loading of sewer usage for flow in the South Bay Cities
Sanitation District of Los Angeles County.
Using these standards, residential parcels with single family homes are assigned a flow rate of 260
Gallons Per Day (GPD). Therefore, 260 GPD is defined as 1 Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) and all
other parcels are charged based on the number of ERUs calculated on their property for their
particular use. The total flow rate for each parcel is divided by 260 to calculate the number of ERUs
assigned to the parcel. Vacant parcels have no sewer flow associated with them and therefore would
be assigned 0 ERUs.
The Abalone Cove Beach property flow rate was calculated based on the future improvements to the
beach (consisting of 7 toilet facilities and 2 showers). The flow rates for these facilities were based
on information provided by the City of Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation, and are shown below in
Table 2.
Table 2 provides a summary of the user categories in the Abalone Cove sewer service area, the
assigned flow rates, and the ERU calculation for each.

Sewer System Components
The Abalone Cove sewer system is comprised of three types of components or subsystems:
a gravity subsystem,
a force main subsystem, and
a low-pressure subsystem.
A-6
City of Rancho Palos Verdes June 20, 2018
Annual Report – Abalone Cove Sewer Service Charge – Fiscal Year 2018-19 Page 5
These different and integrated subsystems collect flows from the sewer service area and ultimately
convey it to the LACSD outfall. Flows generated by each parcel are conveyed through one or more of
these subsystems.
Each of these subsystems requires different levels of operation and maintenance and, therefore, have
different costs associated with them. Parcels that contribute flow to a subsystem will be charged for
the operation and maintenance of that subsystem. Because the entire Abalone Cove sewer system
flows into the Palos Verdes Drive Pump Station and the 6-inch force main and gravity system between
the pump station and the LACSD outfall, all users of the system will be charged for the operation and
maintenance of these facilities. The following describes each subsystem:
Gravity Subsystem. Gravity systems are the most basic of sewer systems and require minimal
routine maintenance. Parcels connected to the Gravity Subsystem would be responsible for
sharing the costs associated with maintenance of the gravity system. All parcels within the service
area contribute to this subsystem, as sewage flows contributed by each parcel are eventually
discharged into the gravity subsystem.
Force Main Subsystem. Force main subsystems include pump station and pressurized pipes in
addition to gravity lines. Parcels connected to the Force Main Subsystem would be responsible
for sharing the additional costs associated with the operation and maintenance of those
components. The pump stations for these lines are located at Thyme Place, Sweetby East and
Sweetby at Altimira Canyon.
Low Pressure Subsystem. Low pressure subsystems include grinder pumps at each user
connection to the system as well as low pressure pipes. Parcels connected to the Low Pressure
Subsystem would be responsible for sharing the associated operation and maintenance costs of
those components.
A few parcels that are connected to the gravity subsystem or the force main subsystem require
the use of a grinder pump to get their flow into the system. These parcels share in the cost of
grinder pump maintenance and are considered to be a part of the low pressure subsystem.
Rate Zones
A system of zones was developed to identify the specific combination of subsystems used by each
contributing parcel. These zones are as follows:
Zone A - Gravity subsystem only
Zone B - Gravity & Force Main subsystems
Zone C - Gravity & Low Pressure subsystems
Zone D - Gravity & Force Main & Low Pressure subsystems
Inventory of Parcels
Table 3 and Table 4, on the following page, were compiled from information obtained from the Los
Angeles County Assessor’s Roll, Assessor’s Parcel Maps, and the City of Rancho Palos Verdes.

INTRODUCTION
To insure a flow of funds for the on-going operation and maintenance of the sewer facilities in the
Abalone Cove area, the City Council formed the Abalone Cove Sewer Service Charge. This Sewer
Service Charge ensures a fair and equitable levying of the necessary costs of operating and
maintaining of the facilities and was established in compliance with the provisions of Proposition 218,
Article XIIID of the California Constitution, Section 6(b). Mailed notices were sent to all affected
property owners and the Public Hearing was held on July 17, 2001. Since there was not a majority of
written protests, the charge was established with a not to exceed maximum increase of seven percent
(7%) each year.
This report, as signed and presented to the Council for approval, has been prepared according to the
methodology and rates approved by the City Council in 2001.
The City Council annually reviews the current and projected year's costs for the operation and
maintenance of the sewer facilities and sets the rates for the ensuing fiscal year, which runs between
July 1 and June 30. In setting the annual rates, the City Council will consider any new or updated
maintenance costs, any fund balances or shortages, and adjust the rates accordingly.
The Abalone Cove Sewer Service Charge is levied under the authority of the California Health and
Safety Code, Sections 5471 et seq. (the "Code"). Payment of the charges for each parcel will be made
in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for county property taxes for each
property.
This report contains the necessary data required to establish the annual charge rates and is submitted
to the City Clerk for filing in the office of the City Clerk where it shall remain open for public inspection.

ANNUAL CHARGE RATE CALCULATIONS
The rate structure for the Sewer Service Charge is based on the amount of sewage flow generated by
each parcel of land within the sewer system service area.
Equivalent Residential Units
The sewer flow rates used to calculate this User Charge are based on the Los Angeles County
Sanitation District (LACSD) standards, as outlined in their Master Service Charge Ordinance of South
Bay Cities Sanitation District of Los Angeles County, as adopted on March 18, 1998. This ordinance
describes the user categories and mean loading of sewer usage for flow in the South Bay Cities
Sanitation District of Los Angeles County.
Using these standards, residential parcels with single family homes are assigned a flow rate of 260
Gallons Per Day (GPD). Therefore, 260 GPD is defined as 1 Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) and all
other parcels are charged based on the number of ERUs calculated on their property for their
particular use. The total flow rate for each parcel is divided by 260 to calculate the number of ERUs
assigned to the parcel. Vacant parcels have no sewer flow associated with them and therefore would
be assigned 0 ERUs.
The Abalone Cove Beach property flow rate was calculated based on the future improvements to the
beach (consisting of 7 toilet facilities and 2 showers). The flow rates for these facilities were based
on information provided by the City of Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation, and are shown below in
Table 2.
Table 2 provides a summary of the user categories in the Abalone Cove sewer service area, the
assigned flow rates, and the ERU calculation for each.

Sewer System Components
The Abalone Cove sewer system is comprised of three types of components or subsystems:
a gravity subsystem,
a force main subsystem, and
a low-pressure subsystem.
B-9
City of Rancho Palos Verdes June 20, 2018
Annual Report – Abalone Cove Sewer Service Charge – Fiscal Year 2018-19 Page 5
These different and integrated subsystems collect flows from the sewer service area and ultimately
convey it to the LACSD outfall. Flows generated by each parcel are conveyed through one or more of
these subsystems.
Each of these subsystems requires different levels of operation and maintenance and, therefore, have
different costs associated with them. Parcels that contribute flow to a subsystem will be charged for
the operation and maintenance of that subsystem. Because the entire Abalone Cove sewer system
flows into the Palos Verdes Drive Pump Station and the 6-inch force main and gravity system between
the pump station and the LACSD outfall, all users of the system will be charged for the operation and
maintenance of these facilities. The following describes each subsystem:
Gravity Subsystem. Gravity systems are the most basic of sewer systems and require minimal
routine maintenance. Parcels connected to the Gravity Subsystem would be responsible for
sharing the costs associated with maintenance of the gravity system. All parcels within the service
area contribute to this subsystem, as sewage flows contributed by each parcel are eventually
discharged into the gravity subsystem.
Force Main Subsystem. Force main subsystems include pump station and pressurized pipes in
addition to gravity lines. Parcels connected to the Force Main Subsystem would be responsible
for sharing the additional costs associated with the operation and maintenance of those
components. The pump stations for these lines are located at Thyme Place, Sweetby East and
Sweetby at Altimira Canyon.
Low Pressure Subsystem. Low pressure subsystems include grinder pumps at each user
connection to the system as well as low pressure pipes. Parcels connected to the Low Pressure
Subsystem would be responsible for sharing the associated operation and maintenance costs of
those components.
A few parcels that are connected to the gravity subsystem or the force main subsystem require
the use of a grinder pump to get their flow into the system. These parcels share in the cost of
grinder pump maintenance and are considered to be a part of the low pressure subsystem.
Rate Zones
A system of zones was developed to identify the specific combination of subsystems used by each
contributing parcel. These zones are as follows:
Zone A - Gravity subsystem only
Zone B - Gravity & Force Main subsystems
Zone C - Gravity & Low Pressure subsystems
Zone D - Gravity & Force Main & Low Pressure subsystems
Inventory of Parcels
Table 3 and Table 4, on the following page, were compiled from information obtained from the Los
Angeles County Assessor’s Roll, Assessor’s Parcel Maps, and the City of Rancho Palos Verdes.

The proposed Charge varies by zone. The system of zones was developed to identify the specific combination of subsystems used by
each contributing parcel. The zones with the highest charges, Zones B and D, are the zones with the highest per parcel cost for
maintenance. For the ACLAD Sewer System, the in-street pump stations historically have the highest per parcel costs to maintain and
therefore these properties have had the highest charges and subsidies. Previous projects which retrofitted two single phase lift station
pumps with three phase pumps and the associated electrical control system reduced the cost of operating Zone D. However two lift
stations still operate with single phase pumps and the maintenance estimate for this Zone D still reflects anticipated maintenance. This
year Zone C, which includes the low pressure systems, is anticipated to have high maintenance costs until all the pumps have been
fully purchased and replaced. The low pressure pumps are reaching the end of their useful life and need replacing. Following
replacement of pumps, Public Works anticipates putting in place a low pressure pump program to help lower the cost of repairing and
replacing the low pressure pumps which should result in a cost savings over previous years. The cost of other maintenance associated
with the low pressure systems is expected to remain constant over the next year; however the condition of the low pressure galvanized
piping is currently being evaluated. The results of the evaluation will reveal whether the galvanized piping will require replacement,
resulting in a need for a higher subsidy for this Zone.
