INTRODUCTION
In order to effectively establish a capital improvement program to implement the needed wastewater system
improvements, an equitable method of prioritizing projects must be established. In general, sewer facilities having
the greatest degree of defects and deterioration at the present time will receive higher priority than those which are
in better conditions.
In 1994, an Infrastructure Management Project Report, prepared by ITX, analyzed the City's sewer network and also
recommended a rehabilitation program to address the immediate needs of the sewer network.
In 2008, considering the City's 85 years old sewer network of concrete and clay pipes, City embarked on the
implementation of a Sanitary Sewer Master Plan that updated the Sewer portion of the Infrastructure Management
Project Report prepared by ITX in 1994. Building on the work the City had completed through the undertaking of
previous studies and projects, the Sewer Master Plan was prepared based upon newly collected data from the 2008
Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) inspection of the entire sewer system. This Sewer Master Plan, dated April 2009 and revised
March 2011, currently lists the existing defects and deficiencies and identifies projects for improvements for a 10
year program. At the end of the ten year rehabilitation program, CCTV inspection of the entire sewer system is
recommended for monitoring any remaining or newly developed physical deterioration and maintenance problems.
This would allow the City to continue with development and implementation of a cost effective rehabilitation
program that will insure the long-term integrity of the sewer system and service to the community.
The City is now considering to bond for needed capital improvements using a portion of the proposed sewer service
charges to pay annual debt service to address major repairs and rehabilitation of the sewer system based on the
priority set in the Sewer Master plan. In support of this endeavor and per City's request, a more up to date cost to
rehabilitate the sewer system over the next ten (10) years is presented in the following section of this update to the
Sewer Master Plan.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This section puts forth a rehabilitation program cost estimate considering the needs of the sanitary sewer
infrastructure over the next ten (10) years; however a plan is in place to implement the necessary improvements
within seven years. As was previously stated, the City has undertaken rehabilitation work of its sewer system based
on programs outlined in previous studies that recommended the City to plan for the eventual replacement of the
entire sanitary sewer system. City is estimated to currently have 194,000 lineal feet of sanitary sewer pipes, 880
sewer manholes, one (1) main wastewater pump station and three (3) small beach restroom pumps.
In 2008, Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) inspection of the entire sewer system, that was accessible, was completed and
prioritized for repair in the 2009 Sewer Master Plan. Of the 194,000 lineal feet of sanitary sewer pipes in the system,
38,000 lineal feet of sewer pipes were not accessible by CCTV due to obstructions. These pipes are likely to be badly
deteriorated considering their age and limited accessibility for routine maintenance. Therefore, these pipes are
considered a priority for rehabilitation and repair.
Based on existing records, 53,800 feet of pipe is considered to be in good condition and requires no rehabilitation
for a minimum of ten years. The remaining 140,200 feet of pipe in the system; requires some form of rehabilitation
within the next ten years.

Since 1985, approximately 180 manholes have been rehabilitated or replaced. The remaining 700 manholes are over
85 years old. Some of the existing manhole openings do not provide adequate access and hinder the City's use of
closed circuit television inspection and emergency bypass equipment. Some of the manhole bottoms are
deteriorated and need to 'be replaced. It is anticipated that in the next ten (10) years about 15% of the remaining
700 manholes will have to be reconstructed and or replaced.
An estimate of the City's sewer system rehabilitation cost over the next seven (7) years follows. An inflation rate of
2% per year as well as 10% contingency and 20% soft costs (Design and Inspection) is incorporated.'

o Three (3) Beach restroom pumps
o The Strand - 34th
The specific plans and specifications for the city -owned sewer improvements are incorporated and contained in the
sewer construction plans and specifications for the various sewer segments of the sewer system within the City of
Hermosa Beach. These plans and specifications are voluminous and are not bound in this report but by this
reference are incorporated and made a part of this report. The specific plans and specifications for the city -owned
sewer improvements are on file in Public Works at the City.
OPERATIONS, MAINTENANCE AND SERVICES
The City of Hermosa Beach proposes to collect funds to cover the expenses for the overall operation, maintenance
and servicing of the city -owned sewer system as well as funds that may be necessary to pay for capital outlay
expenditures including repairs, rehabilitation or replacement of equipment or facilities. The following is a summary
of the services and activities associated with the maintenance, operation, servicing and capital outlay expenditures
for the City's sewer system. The frequency, extent and/or level of the services and activities identified below may be
modified based on available funding and priorities as determined by the City:
Preventive Maintenance
One of the City's primary objectives for assuming responsibility and management of the operation and maintenance
of the City's sewer system is to provide a cost-effective and efficient program that will ensure the integrity and long
term stability of the sewer system. This is best accomplished by implementing preventive maintenance program that
addresses the entire sewer system. This preventive maintenance should include, but is not limited to, regular
inspection of the sewer manholes, pipes, siphons, pump stations and related facilities as well as regular cleaning,

repair, and related activities as warranted. These activities are intended to detect and correct potential problems
before they develop into major problems. The following is a general summary of those preventive maintenance
activities.
➢ Sewer Line and Manhole Inspection - The interior and exterior of manholes to be inspected (at least once a
year) for any structural defects, sewage flow condition, presence of vermin or rodents, deleterious industrial
waste, odors, and any signs of unusual settlement around or evidence of debris within the manholes and
along sewer alignments.
➢ Sewer Line Cleaning - Sewer lines will be videoed and cleaned by hydro jet or rodding as needed based on a
scheduled that ensures each sewer line is addressed at least every three -five years. The actual frequency of
cleaning may vary based on inspection records. Sewer lines known to cumulate grease, garbage grinds, or
sand may be addressed more frequency with possible monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual cleaning schedule.
Those areas prone to root growth may be periodically rodded or chemically treated.
➢ Sewage Pump Stations - All pump stations are equipped with telemetry/alarm systems and will be inspected
at least once a week. Pumps and motors will be inspected and lubricated, control mechanisms and valves
will be checked and adjusted as necessary. Pump station equipment will be repaired or modified as
required.
➢ Gas Trap Manholes and Siphons - Inspected and cleared of any stoppages or flow restrictions on a monthly
basis.
➢ Drop Manholes - Inspected and cleared of stoppages and flow restrictions on variable frequencies based on
prior inspection records.
➢ Vermin and Rodent Control - On an as -needed basis, sewers infested by insects will be chemically treated,
and those infested by rodents will be baited.
Capital Outlay, Rehabilitation and Replacement
The City plans to bond for needed capital improvements using a portion of the proposed sewer service charge to pay
annual debt service to address major repairs and rehabilitation of the sewer system on a priority basis. However, in
addition the City plans to develop and implement a long-term replacement and refurbishment program that will
ensure not only the short term integrity of the sewer system, but also the long-term integrity and continue service
to the community. As the city's sewer collection system ages, the risk of failure will ultimately increase due to
deterioration, collapse, blockage, excessive inflow and infiltration, overflow, and other potential service
interruptions. Therefore, while the scheduling of major repairs, rehabilitation projects and replacement projects will
ultimately be implemented based on available funding, highest priority will be given to structural deficiency.
However, by developing a long-term replacement and refurbishment program with the goal of eventually addressing
the entire system, the City may also address hydraulic deficiency in addition to the structural deficiency.
Sewer System Management
➢ Mapping - As -built plans of the sewer facilities will be maintained by the City. Data on the plans, such as
system locations and alignment, pipe material, size, etc., will be maintained and stored electronically by the
City. These maps will be available and utilized by the field crews for work scheduling and responding to
emergencies, and will be updated to reflect any changes in the system.

PART B — ESTIMATED COST OF THE IMPROVEMENTS
The net amount to be charged on the lots or parcels within the City is based on an initial estimate of the annual cost
and expenses for the maintenance, operation, servicing of the City's existing sewer system improvements as well as
the funding deemed appropriate and necessary for future capital improvements and reserves (Replacement
funding). It is estimated that sewer capital improvements are needed at $11 million for the current planning period.
It is the City's plan to spend $3 Million in cash plus finance an additional $8 Million to fund needed improvements.

PART C— CHARGE CALCULATION AND PROPOSED CHARGES
The sewer service charge for 2015/2016 is being established by the City. The charge multiplied by the Equivalent
Sewer Units assigned to each parcel will be the charge for each parcel. The Equivalent Sewer Unit (ESU)
determination for each parcel is described below.

Sewage Generation Factors
The City of Hermosa Beach updated their sanitary sewer master plan in April 2009 and again in March 2011, both
were prepared by MBF Consulting.
A numeric relationship between the various lots and parcels is necessary for the allocation of the costs of sewer
maintenance among the lots and parcels. It is customary to relate the various land uses to the single family
residential lot which is established as one Equivalent Sewage Unit (ESU), and all other lots and parcels are related
proportionally to the single family residential lot. Based on sewage generation rates, a typical single family lot
generates 260 gallons per day in Los Angeles County4. Therefore, for purposes of comparison of the various land
uses for lots and parcels, 260 gallons per day is designated as the equivalent of 1 ESU.
Non-residential Land Uses
The ESU for various non-residential land uses is calculated by the following equation:
ESU = [Commercial Water Consumption GPD]/260 GPD per SFRU
Single family residential units will be charge at 1.0 ESU per parcel, the multi -family residential units will be charged
at 0.6 ESU per parcel and condominiums at 1.0 ESU per parcel as they are similar to single family residents in use.
For the non-residential, it was allocated by water consumption values for all of Hermosa Beach from information
provided by California Water Services Company annually. Vacant parcels of any use are charged 0.5 ESU.

Government Facilities and Parcels
There are several parcels that receive sewer service that are owned and operated by local government. Proposition
218 requires that each parcel not pay more than the proportional cost of providing the service. Therefore, because
these government parcels use the sewer service, they are included in the computation of the charge and are
charged.
CALCULATION OF THE CHARGE
The sewer service charge is based on the direct cost of providing the service. These costs include staff, rent, utilities,
and other costs as needed for sewer repair and improvements as described earlier in this report.
The $115 charge per ESU for 2015/2016 as adopted by the City Council on April 28, 2015 is multiplied by the ESUs
for each residential parcel and by water consumption for non-residential to determine the charge for each parcel.
The proposed 2015/2016 revenue for the sewer services (as shown previously) will be funded by the total of the
charges from the parcels.
ANNUAL INCREASES
Because the costs of providing the sewer service may increase over time, beginning July 1, 2016 and each July
thereafter, the charge per ESU established in 2015/2016 shall be increased by the annual increase in the Consumer
Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers in the Los Angeles -Riverside -Orange County, CA Area (CPI),
including all items as published by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics as of March 1 of each year, not to exceed two
percent (2%) per year. The annual increases can only be authorized for a five year period. To increase the charge
after the initial five year period, would require a new Proposition 218 hearing.
PROPOSITION 218 CONSIDERATIONS
Proposition 218, which the voters of the State of California passed on November 5, 1996, contains requirements for
the imposition of a fee or charge for property related services. Requirements for fees and charges are contained in
Section 6 of Article XIII D.
Paragraph (b) describes the requirements for new, existing, or increased fees and charges, as:
(1) Revenues shall not exceed the funds required to provide the service.
(2) Revenues shall not be used for any other purpose.
(3) The amount of the fee or charge imposed upon any parcel or person as an incident of property
ownership shall not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to the parcel.
(4) No fee or charge may be imposed unless the service is actually used by or immediately available to the
owner of the property in question.
(5) No fee or charge shall be imposed for general governmental services, i.e., police, ambulance, library,
where the service is available to the public at large in substantially the same manner as it is to the property
owners.
