2 SARCUP is a regional program of groundwater bank developed by the five member agencies of SAWPA (OCWD, IEUA, WMWD, EMWD, and SBVMWD). SARCUP is a multiphase program that is building infrastructure that will allow supplemental water to be banked in the watershed s large groundwater basins during wet years and recovered during dry years. The SARCUP infrastructure needs include facilities that will allow the recharge and recovery of water and the facilities to allow the water to be transferred among the SAWPA member agencies and their own member agencies (water companies, municipalities, etc.). Jurupa Community Services District (JCSD) is a member of WMWD providing water services within the Chino Basin. Integration of JCSD water transfer and delivery infrastructures is an important link between IEUA and WMWD in water storage put scenarios and water extraction take scenarios. JCSD projects for SARCUP future phases include two key pipelines, one for potable water exchanges and one for recycled water exchanges. The potable pipeline is a JCSD joint regional pipeline measuring approximately 4 miles with a north-south alignment around Etiwanda Ave in Fontana connecting JCSD with the proposed SARCUP Phase 1 western extension of the Baseline Feeder potable water pipeline from SBVMWD. The JCSD joint regional pipeline would connect JCSD with the water systems of Cucamonga Valley Water District and Fontana Water Company, with expansion potential to the City of Ontario. The JCSD joint regional pipeline would be 24 to 30 inches in diameter and cost approximately $8 million. The pipeline would facilitate water exchanges with SBVWD, WMWD, IEUA, and member water agencies of the Chino Desalter Authority. The recycled water pipeline is a JCSD regional pipeline measuring approximately 5 miles with a north-south alignment around Hellman and Carpenter Avenues in Eastvale, Chino, and Ontario connecting the JCSD recycled water distribution system with the IEUA recycled water distribution system. The project includes storage, booster stations, and lateral connections. The recycled water facilities will cost approximately $20 million. The pipeline would facilitate water exchanges between WMWD, IEUA, and their respective member agencies. Goals/Objectives: The goals and objectives of the JSCD projects in future phases of SARCUP are to create water supply reliability infrastructures for potable and recycled water use, specifically exchange of waters among the large water supply agencies of the Chino Basin and between the SAWPA member agencies as part of the SARCUP water bank in the Chino Basin. The recycled water line will also serve as a regional backbone of the JCSD recycled water distribution system into the community of Eastvale. The projects increase the put-take capability and flexibility of the Chino Basin water bank. The projects facilitate the entire Chino Basin area water bank through management of groundwater put and take rates, aquifer water levels, and water quality Need: 2 of 6

3 The Chino Basin has significant needs for water supply reliability for imported and recycled water. Imported supplies are delivered largely to Chino Basin through MWD s Rialto Feeder. The Rialto feeder is a weak link in MWD s emergency water supply network for State Water Project water. Development of delivery infrastructure from the extended Baseline feeder can shore up this weakness by providing water from an alternative provider, while simultaneously providing watershed-scale groundwater banking potential. Recycled water supplies exist that can be used in the JCSD service area (Riverside County) and that can be recharged in the IEUA services area (within San Bernardino County). Developing the JCSD recycled water distribution system as an interconnecting the existing IEUA recycled water distribution system increase water supply reliability to both JSCD and IEUA, but also provides a key exchange mechanism in the Chino Basin SARCUP water bank. Both JCSD pipes form direct links between member agencies of two of the five SARCUP team members, namely IEUA and WMWD. The potable line connects SBVMWD supplies to the Chino Basin, which can be used by all SARCUP members for water banking. Meets statutory eligibility gates of 2015 IRWM Grant Funding: IRWM Goals: This project is a collaborative project between six jurisdictions. This project will effectively integrate water management between the jurisdictions of the collaborators, allow water banking and reduce the regions reliance on the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta for water supply. IRWM Type OWOW Plan Project Type: Construction Latitude: Project Location: Longitude: The projects are to be located along streets in the Cities of Chino, Ontario, Eastvale, Fontana, and Rancho Cucamonga. Preliminary designs are for the recycled water to be along Hellman and Carpenter Avenues between the WRCWRA treatment plant on River Road and the potable pipeline to be along Etiwanda Avenue between Jurupa Avenue and Baseline Avenue in Fontana Benefit Zone Area (mi2): 290 Project Benefits: 3 of 6

Multiple Sub-region As part of SARCUP, the facilities in the project can be utilized by all SAWPA member agencies participating in SARCUP. this includes 4 main groundwater basins in upper Santa Ana Watershed. Chino, San Bernardino, Elsinore and San Jacinto. The project benefits are received by the cities and agencies within the IEUA service area and the Chino groundwater basin. This project is a collaborative project between three jurisdictions. This project will effectively integrate water management between the jurisdictions of the collaborators, allow water banking and reduce the regions reliance on the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta for water supply. JCSD adn IEUA also collaborated on a project that allows for sharing of recycled water between service areas based on need.
