SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISION HEREBY PROVIDES NOTICE OF ITS PROPOSED
STAGE 2 MANDATORY WATER CONSERVATION AND RATIONING ACTIVATION, REVISIONS AND
ADDITION TO ITS WATER TARIFFS, AND PUBLIC MEETING FOR SANTA CATALINA ISLAND
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON (SCE) has requested authority from
the CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UTILITIES COMISSION (CPUC) to activate
Stage 2 Mandatory Water Conservation and Rationing (Stage 2 Activation)
for Catalina Island pursuant to SCE Catalina Water Tariffs Rule 14.1, Santa
Catalina Island Fresh Water Rationing Plan (Rule 14.1) and Schedule 14.1,
Staged Mandatory Water Conservation and Rationing (Schedule 141) The
proposed Stage 2 Activation would go into effect starting an August 11, 2014.
Additionally and pursuant to CPUC Resolution W-4976, SCE has requested
revisions and an addition to its Catalina Water tariffs. SCh will hold two
public meetings 0n Tuesday. July 22, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. at
Avalon School Auditorium, located at 200 Falls Canyon Road. Avalon,
CA 90704, to explain the proposed St aoje 2 Activation, requested revisions
and addition to SCE's Catalina Water tariffs, and receive public input.
SCE PROPOSES THE FOLLOWING:
f. Stage 2 Activation:
Since June 2013, Catalina Island has been in Stage 1 Mandatory Water
Conservation when Catalina's Middle Ranch Reservoir (Reservoir)level
dropped below 600 acre-feet. Stage 2 Activation must soon go into effect
for the island because the Reservoir water level is anticipated to drop below
300 acre-feet by August 11, 2014. Part of the Stage 2 Activation includes
the use of water allotments. Stage 2 Activation will require a 25percent
tductionfrem baseline water usage, which means that a customer's water
allotment during Stage 2 is 75 percent of their base water usage Customers
are responsible for monitoring their own water use to ensure that they do
not exceed their allotment. The CPUC-appreved Schedule 14.t explains the
requirements and restrictions that are part of Stage 2 (available online at
http://on.sce.com/catalinatarif f)
Enforcement: Exceeding Water Allotment
In order to reduce the likelihood of entering additional stages of water
rationing, SCE must emphasize that the 25% Water Usage Reduction wig he
strictly enforced.
First offense: Customer will receive a written warning on their bill.
Second offense: SCE will install a flaw-restricting device on the
customer's water service line. The device will be
removed after.a minimum 3-day period has elapsed
and upon payment of a $200 fee.
Third offense: SCE will install a flow-restricting device on the
customer's water service line. The device will be
removed until water rationing is no longer required
and upon payment of another $200 fee,
Any tampering with a flow-mstdcting device may result m fines or
discontinuation of water use at SCE's discretion pursuant to Rule 14.1, Section
C 5 and Schedule 14. I. Section F.
Enforcement: Water Use Violation Fines
Stage 1 Restrictions. which can be found in Schedule 14.1, will still be
enforced. Additionally, Stage 2 Activation requires that the watering of
outdoor landscaping vegetation by hoses or sprinkler systems shall be
limited to Tuesdays and Fridays only, during the hours of 6:00 PM to
7:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time. Watering by use of a container or bucket.
not exceeding a three-gallon capacity, will be permitted at any time on
Tuesdays and Fridays only.
Customers who violate any water use restriction will be subject to the
following fines:
First offense: Written warning
Second offense: $25
Third offense: $50
Each additional offense: $25 more than the previous fine imposed
SCE may, after one written warning, install a flow-restrictiogflevice on the
service line of any customer observed by SCE personnel to be using water for
any non-essential or unauthorized use pursuant to Rule 14.1, Section C.Z
2. Revisions and an Addition to SCE's Catalina Water Tariffs:
In compliance with CPUC Resolution W-4976, SCE needs to revise sections of
its Rule and Schedule 14.1 tariffs. The revisions include, but are not limited to,
the requirement to file a Tier 2 Advice Letter prior to activation of a particular
stage of Schedule 14.1 and the requirement to conduct a public meeting
prior to activating a mandatory rationing stage d activation of Schedule 14.1
occurs one year or more since the last public meeting. Other revisions are
being requested consistent with Resolution W-4976, the CPUC's Standard
Practice U 40-W, Procedures for Water Conservation, Rationing and Service
Connection Moratoria (U-40-W), and industry practices,
Pursuant to Findings and Conclusions Numbers 22 and 23 of Resolution
W-4976, SCC has also requested for the establishment of a new Preliminary
Statement tariff entitled, "Catalina Lost Revenue Memorandum Account"
ICLRMA) to track revenue shortfalls associated with reduced sales from
either activation of voluntary conservation measures or mandatory rationing
Consistent with U 40 W, SCE will track the ost revenue as-long as
conserva!ion measures are in effect and would request recovery of any lost
revenue tracked in the CLRMA through an advice letter
The CPUC will make a thorough investigation of SCE's request. Following the
investigation, the CPUC may grant SCE's request in whole or in part, or may
deny it It may also order SCE to change the design of Stage 2 Activation from
that described in this notice.
The public meetings will be held:
Tuesday, July 22, 2014
10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
Avalon School Auditorium
200 Falls Canyon Road
Avalon, CA 90704
The public mee'ti'ng's-areinfoimal and afford customers the opportunity to
ask questions and express their views SCE will have representatives there
to explain the reasons for the proposed Stage 2 Activation and requested
revisions and addition to its water tariffs.
Section 351 of the California Water Code provides that except in cases of
extreme emergency, such as the failure of a dam, pump or pipeline, a public
meeting will be held at which consumers shall have an opportunity to be
heard to protest against the declaration of water rationieg and to present their
respective needs Customers who would like to provide any other information
