2 FINANCIAL INFORMATION The Water Revenue Fund Preliminary Budget incorporates expenditures for the Water System, including the share of expenditures associated with the Joint System and Power Revenue Fund that support Water System functions. Estimated appropriations for FY total 2.17 billion. Net of receipts from the Power System, contributions in aid of construction, individuals, and companies and other miscellaneous sources, appropriations are 1.73 billion. BACKGROUND Development of the FY Preliminary Budget commenced in September 2016, with continued analysis and refinement. The final budget will be submitted for your review and approval in May The preliminary budget is consistent with the approved five-year rate action. Pass through rates would continue to adjust for, in part, variable and uncontrollable costs including infrastructure investments, continuing water quality improvements and decreased purchased water from the Metropolitan Water District. The LADWP continues to emphasize cost control and fiscal discipline across all programs and enhanced performance metrics reporting contributing to greater cost efficiency and accountability. The FY funding priorities are consistent with the Mayor s priorities and reflect continued investment to comply with mandates, upgrade aging infrastructure, and create a more sustainable and local water supply. Some of the proposed budget highlights are as follows: Water Quality Program: Total 401 million, Capital (315 million) and Operating & Maintenance (86 million) Planned water quality capital projects will continue to fund investments in FY that develop the highest quality of water through the reservoir covers, bypasses, trunk line replacement, and regulatory compliance for construction, operation and maintenance, equipment, and supplies for facilities and systems to provide high quality water and meet State and Federal water quality standards. Construction is scheduled to be completed at Elysian Reservoir in the coming fiscal year and to start at Upper Stone Canyon Reservoir in the coming months, The budget includes continued financing with State Revolving Funds for qualifying projects and reduced rate bonds issued through the Southern California Water Authority Joint Powers Agreement. Replace Aging Infrastructure: Total 391 million, Capital (275 million) and Operating & Maintenance (116 million) Ensuring reliable water for domestic use and fire protection, replacement and repair of water pipelines and other water system facilities are critical priorities for the Water Transmittal of Preliminary FY LADWP Budget to the City Council - Water Revenue Page 2 Fund Receipts and Appropriations Budget and Associated Schedules/March 1, 2017

3 System. To address these priorities, the Water System has developed the Water Infrastructure Program (WIP). To support the WIP, the Water System is developing an Asset Management process to assess the reliability of aging distribution mainlines, trunk lines, pump stations, pressure regulating stations, tanks, reservoirs, aqueducts, and meters and services and plan for appropriate ongoing maintenance and operations. The Water System is on schedule to meet current year mainline replacement goals as well as meter replacement, pumping station and regulator station improvements and completed significant refurbishment of sections of the Los Angeles Aqueduct this fall. Local Water Supply and Conservation: Total 289 million, Capital (178 million) and Operating & Maintenance (111 million) Currently, the LADWP receives its water supply from four sources: 1. Owens Valley and Mono Basin via the Los Angeles Aqueduct 2. Pumping groundwater in the San Fernando Groundwater Basin, the Sylmar Basin, and the Central Basin 3. Recycled water 4. Purchases from the Metropolitan Water District of imported water delivered through the Colorado River Aqueduct and the California Aqueduct To ensure long term reliability, resilience and low-costs, the Water System is investing in increased local supply and conservation. Investments include increased storm water capture capability, additions to the recycled water purple pipe infrastructure, and long term recycled water strategies. The City met the Mayor s January 1, 2017 conservation goal of 104 gallons per capita usage. Investments and continued outreach provided in this budget will support customers in longer-term goals. The Water System is aggressively pursuing funding for supply projects through the State Proposition 1 program. Owens Valley Regulatory: Total 114 million, Capital (82 million) and Operating & Maintenance (32 million) The LADWP plans to complete the remaining sections of dust mitigation, work to reduce the water-intensive measures on the lake, which will increase the long-term availability of water.

Llewellyn March 1, 2017 Page 2 Estimated General Fund Revenues In addition to reliable, low-cost utility services, the LADWP provides the City of Los Angeles with ongoing financial support through the collection and remittance of Utility Users Tax - Electricity (UUT) revenues and the Power Revenue Transfer. Based on the sales forecast for FY , the UUT for next fiscal year is estimated to be 410 million. For the Power Revenue Transfer, the estimate for FY is 242 million and is based on the outlook for the FY fiscal year. Power System The total Power Revenue Fund Receipts and Appropriations budget for FY is 4.70 billion, net of receipts from the Water System, contributions in aid of construction, individuals, and companies and other miscellaneous sources, and reflects critical investments for compliance with regulatory mandates related to the power supply and increased funding to address aging infrastructure. Power System Reliability Program: 908 million Repowering and Renewable Portfolio Standard: 376 million Energy Efficiency Program: 178 million Water System The total Water Revenue Fund Receipts and Appropriations budget for FY is 1.73 billion, net of receipts from the Power System, contributions in aid of construction, individuals, and companies and other miscellaneous sources, and reflects investment in local water supply projects to reduce our reliance on costly imported water and meet regulatory mandates, while continuing funding to improve drinking water quality and replace aging system infrastructure. Water Quality Program: 401 million Water Infrastructure: 391 million Local Water Supply and Conservation: 289 million Owens Valley Regulatory: 114 million Multi-year Financial Planning The FY budget continues a multi-year effort to prepare the utility for the future and will address the challenges involved in evolving the power and water systems. The LADWP continues to update and refine multi-year financial plans for both the Water and Power Revenue Funds, with funding prioritized towards investment in critical infrastructure, increased system reliability and more sustainable water and energy supplies. Funding is also required to ensure that resource needs are met within
