Philips, Water Consulting Engineer for the Werner Tract Mutual Water Company, who is currently program- ming a comprehensive master plan for the water company, spoke for an hour and a half relating the historical background of the water company and elaborating on•the(r aspirations for an improved system, wherein he said that the statement in the letter relative to meeting applicable codes" would have to be taken more broadly; that this water company services approxi- mately 150 acres in'the City of Baldwin Park and is about 35 years old; that, at the time-the system was installed, it met quite adequately with the Standards; however, the Standards have increased, and the present system is not deemed adequate by present day requirements of the community which has become considerably urbanized in the last 5 years; that the City of Baldwin Park should establish certain Standards of service; wherein he indicated on a map on the wall, the boundaries of servicing by the Werner Tract Mutual Water Company, being bounded on the south by Los Angeles Street, on the north by Olive Street, on the west by Center,Street, on the east by Stewart Avenue being approximately 150 acres gross, 144 commercial acres net; that there is no assurance that pipe- line sizes and locations are exactly correct because they have never been accurately mapped; that when these lines and services were extended to the various lots 35 years ago, 4" and 2" mains were used; that, originally, the water company had 600 gallons per minute, full capacity, from the one well in the northeast corner; that a second and a third well was installed, and, with certain property splits occurring on the southeast, northwest and southwest corners, caused them to extend certain 2" mains; that, in 1925, there was no con- sideration, nor attempt, to provide fire protection, as one acre ranch" lots were going in; that, now a system needs to be designed to supply 225 gallons per day per person as against the 85 gallons per day per person when originally installed, with the need to supply increased service so that a fire en- gine can pump 1,050 gallons per minute, as against the origi- nal need of 300 gallons per minute; that the municipal authori- ty of the City, in pursuing its demand that the water company meet present day standards, lies In Its subdivision develop- ments and conditions relevant to the issuance of building permits; that the water company has a responsibility to its existing consumers; wherein he suggested that Council think hard" about the development of a practicable policy pertain- ing to the up-grading of the water services to bring them up to standard, commensurate with the development of the com- munity; that the productive capacity for the three wells is 1,500 gallons per minute and is presently adequate for today's standards for this type of land use, but the problem is that they cannot get it away from the pumping plant; that, from an ideal" standpoint, a 10" main was needed, tying Into a 4" main, which would be able to carry away the needed 1,500 gallons per minute; that what should be done is to run a 10" main across Olive to Walnut, drawing off with three 8" mains, and also run an 8" main dawn Stewart Avenue and then tie these off on 6" mains; that fire hydrants should be off no less than a 6" main; that it was his belief that less than 200 consumers were now being served, but, assuming there will be 4-5 services per acre, we are then talking about an eventual 600 consumer units; that, based on the available information now, these wells are going to, in effect, dry up" in ten years, and that the majority of them are too old to drill down deeper; that, cost-wise, not including extensions replacing 2" and 4" lines), for the 10", 8" and 6" mains,, and 25 fire hydrants capable of producing at least 1,050 gallons each per minute, he estimated a'cost of $125,000.00, or $865.00 per acre..and this Is why he feels this proposed master plan is not practical, as there is no way to provide water rates in an assessment district that can finance this program; wherein he suggested that he would like Council to take a good look....a practical look and make a study of a policy which the'Council can live with, that the water Continued) March 20, 1961 Page 2 MR.

There was considerable discussion wherein some of the opinions expressed by Council were their-concern over the development of an adequate system to supply water to all lots...those presently involved and also those to be serviced in the future; wherein the suggestion was made that Council call a moratorium on all building permits in this area in order to give the Board of Directors of the Werner Tract Mutual Water Company an opport- unity to immediately set up a revised system for the area; that, although, it is not the direct responsibility of the City, they should assist in every way possible; that the Board of Directors of this water company has the power to levy any assessment or affix any water rates necessary to improve or de- velop the system; that many of the property owners in this particular area do not know that they own" the water company.

Avery, President of the Pony League Corporation, 14209 East Beigate, Baldwin Park, stated that it was his understanding, in talking to Mr. Christenson of the Public Utilities Commission, that the Commission would more than likely grant this crossing, with the provision that light signals be put in at the crossing, which, of course, is prohibitive in cost; that it was the suggestion of Mr. Chris- tenson that the entrance now in use be contidued, and that the City of Baldwin Park widen Harlan Avenue at that point; that there are 250 boys from Baldwin Park signed up in the Pony League, which is an increase of 50% over last year; that they have enlarged to a Pony and Colt League; that, in 1960 they raised $10,000.00+, but spent $11,000.00; that he is negotiating with two different parties for the backing" of the lights, and hopes to have them'up by May 1st.; that they anticipate a great increase in attendance this coming season, which will greatly increase the traffic at Harlan and Ramona, which is not an adequate place to turn off; that, with lights, they will have either the regional, sectional, or divisional play-off that if it is either the sectional or divisional, there will be 20,000 people at the park for a four day period; that he his also contact- ed KTLA to televise these games; that, with the present conditions as they are In the City of Irwindale, matters regarding this crossing are almost at a standstill; that Mr. Larson, of Crowell & Larson, offered to help in any way they could, equipment-wise; that it was his suggestion to use the old entrance, either bridging up over the curb or cutting the curb for better access; that they hoped to erect a tempor- ary sign at the entrance directing people to the park. Discussion continued relevant to providing temporary In- gress and egress, and as to the feasibility of entering off of Palm Street.
