6.G. - Page 2 of 238 ANALYSIS BAWSCA and SFPUC identified seven amendments of the greatest importance to each agency. These include: 1. Oversieht of SFPUC's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) (2009 WSA new Section 6.09): The Wholesale Customers have had some oversight of the Water System Improvement Program (WSIP), both through the enactment of AB 1823 (2002), and also through quarterly meetings and public reporting. As WSIP nears completion, the SFPUC's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is expanding to achieve a sustainable rate of repair and replacement consistent with overall asset management of the System and SFPUC's adopted Level of Service Goals. This amendment adds a new section to the WSA obligating SFPUC to formally engage with BAWSCA on its 10 -year CIP development. This amendment ensures that BAWSCA and the Wholesale Customers are involved in the development of the 10 -year CIP, have the opportunity to comment on proposed changes to the Level of Service Goals, requires the SFPUC to create an asset management policy applicable to the Regional Water System by December 31, 2020, and commits the SFPUC to quarterly reporting and meetings on CIP implementation. 2. Tier 1 Drought Allocation Plan (2009 WSA Attachment H Section 2.1): The 1984 Agreement required the SFPUC and the Wholesale Customers to develop a Shortage Allocation Plan during droughts. The plan was approved in 2000 for average system wide shortages of up to 20%. Under the plan, the SFPUC allocates the available water supply during droughts between Retail and Wholesale Customers (the "Tier 1 allocation") for incremental shortages of 5, 10, 15 and 20 percent. The Wholesale Customers then collectively allocate the wholesale portion of the available supply among themselves (the "Tier 2 allocations"). Various factors that affect this formula have changed since 2009, particularly the proportionate purchases from the System from San Francisco Retail and Wholesale Customers. If the Tier 1 allocation had been applied during the 2014-2017 drought, Retail Customers would have received a positive allocation of water. The Tier 1 Drought Allocation Plan amendment includes a modest change to the existing formula to ensure that, in the event of a cutback, San Francisco Retail Customers do not receive a positive allocation of water and will take a minimum 5% cutback. Any positive allocation of water would be re -distributed to Wholesale Customers; additional water conserved by Retail Customers up to the minimum 5% level would remain in storage for allocation in future successive dry years. 3. 2018 Decisions (2009 WSA Sections 3.13, 4.01, 4.05, 4.06, 9.06, Attachment Q): The 1984 Agreement memorialized the perpetual 184 million gallons per day "Supply Assurance" to the Wholesale Customers which survives the expiration or termination of the 2009 Agreement. The Supply Assurance is subject to reduction due to drought, emergencies and system maintenance/malfunction. The Wholesale Customers have allocated shares of the Supply Assurance called "Individual Supply Guarantees."
