My name is Beverly Battaglia andla am on the board of the Murieta Village Association located at 14751 Poncho Conde Circle, Rancho Murieta, CA 95683. Itis is a 55+ Community and was established in 1972. It was owned along with the rest of Rancho Murieta by Pension Trust Fund (PTF) of Operating Engineers Local 3. When Murieta Village was originally built in 1972 as a rental park the water distribution system had been designed to meet the requirements oft the Uniform Plumbing Code and used construction methods that were common in rental parks to reduce utility costs.i.e. common utility trenches and weaving across property from service port to service point At that time, El Dorado Irrigation District (EID) was the provider of water and sewer services to Rancho Murieta.

Itwas developed as a mobile home park4 and was owned (along with the rest of Rancho Murieta) by PTF5. It opened in 1972. By the time it opened, all of the roads and underground infrastructure in the Village had been completed, including water and sewer. The work had been done by PTF. At the time, El Dorado Irrigation District (EID) was the provider of water and sewer services to Rancho Murietas. Water was provided by a water plant7 Int those days, Murieta Village was a single entity and residents owned their manufactured homes but did not own the lots which were rented. Water and sewer was provided to the lots by the Village. Water was not metered to individual lots within the village. Indeed, water to the village itself was not metered - the village was charged a flat rate by EID for both water and At the time, there was a 10 inch diameter water line that passed through the village which was owned and maintained by EID.

PTF was a trust fund that invested the retirement funds for the union. The development of Rancho Murieta served two purposes for PTF-1 1)itv was an investment opportunity for the large amount ofr money that they had, and 2) it provided at training opportunity for union trainees. The property was purchased in 1968 and development began in either 1968 or 1969. 4Murietal Village was always occupied by manufactured homes and never by the stereotypical 'mobile 5Pension Trust Fund of Operating Engineers Local 3.

Based on the subdivision document it appears that the owner of Murieta Village intended to turn over ownership of all the water lines to EID along with easement but there is no indication that this actually happened. Indeed, it appears that ownership of the water mains that were located in the streets of Murieta Village were transferred to EID but it appears that EID didn't want to have anything to do with the substandard lines that  branched off from the main lines.  When Murieta Village was originally built in 1972 as a rental park the water distribution system had been designed to meet the requirements of the Uniform Plumbing Code and used construction methods that were common in rental parks to reduce utility costs, i.e., common utility trenches and weaving across the property from service point to service point frequently EID requirements specified that all subdivision lots must be individually metered. However, the village's water infrastructure did not meet EID's minimum design standards and the majority of the infrastructure would need to be replaced before each lot could be metered. Most of the water lines were smaller in size than required by EID standards and they also Itwould have been very expensive to convert the existing system or to construct a new water delivery system to meet EID's requirements. Consequently, the owner of the subdivision requested and was granted a variance that would allow four 'master meters' to be installed rather than having each lot individually metered. The EID staff recommended: "setting four master meters on currently maintained District water mains". Each master meter would serve multiple lots. This happened in June 198112. EID owned and maintained the main water lines but, as a result of this arrangement, EID did not own the substandard parts of the infrastructure nor was it responsible for its repair and maintenance. Either the home owner's association or the home owners, themselves, would be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the 'within park' portion of the system that was beyond the master meters. It's unclear how the billing  actually passing underneath houses.  passed underneath many of the mobile homes.  12 This information has been obtained from several documents obtained from EID: 1) Minutes from EIDI board meeting on June 10,1981 2) Agenda item summary for EID board meeting dated June 1, 1981 3)!

Iti is my hope that this letter will provide clarification regarding The District Utility Codes establishes District responsibility only fori those system elements which the District owns. The District must maintain all District owned water, sewer, and storm drainage infrastructure. The District does not, however, have either the authority, or the responsibility to complete maintenance and repairs on any privately-owned elements oft the water distribution system. Int the Murieta Village, and in other areas oft the District, Water Mainlines (Water Mains) are typically installed in streets and are at least 4-inches in diameter. Water Service Laterals are smaller in size than Water Mains and branch off of Water Mains and enter and serve private properties. Private Water Service Laterals connect to the District's water: supply ati the Water Main, where flow is controlled byay valve. Valves are used where a' Water Service Lateral serves more than one private residence. Meters are used to capture single residence water usage. This protocol is established ini the District Water Code Section 3.02,  the water distribution system public cand private components.  which states:  District' Water Code Section 3.02: states:  "The District shall be responsible for operating, maintaining, and replacing all portions of the distribution system, which are owned by the District.

Iwasi told this was a private line and CSD could not repair the leak. The leak was int the same location CSD had repaired in previous years. Iwas told al letter was sent to the Village HOA manager in November 2023 stating which lines are private and which lines are CSD. With no code changes since 2004 why was this letter necessary.-The Village has been there since the 70's with CSD using and: servicing these lines. Now as of November 2023 CSD has decided to makei these lines private and not responsible. This was a change made by new CSD After requesting a meeting with Mimi ort the option to: schedule a meeting Iwasi toldicouldn'tmeet. with her. Iwould have to schedule a meeting with Mark to leave my name and number. After waiting a week and still no reply from Mark Isent 3 emails to the CSD management and1 the board with just email Ihave now spent $1512.50t to a plumber to have this leak fixed that should have been a repair done by CSD.

Int the letter from CSD to the Murieta Village Association you are. saying these are private for the Ini thel Murieta Village, and in other areas oft the District, Water Mainlines (water mains) are typically installed in streets and are at least 4-inches in diameter. Water Service Laterals are smaller ins size than water mains and branch off of water mains and enter and: serve private properties. Private water service laterals connect to the district's water: supply att the water main, where flow is controlled bya valve. Valves are used where a water service lateral serves more than one private residence. Meters are used to. capture single residence water usage. This protocol is established in the district water code  following reasons.  section 3.02.  3.02 District's Responsibility for Distribution System  The District shall be responsible for operating, maintaining, and replacing all portions of the distribution system, which are owned by the District. The District shall not be responsible for operating, maintaining or replacing that portion of the distribution system not owned by the District. The installation of a District measuring device upon private property or within a portion of the distribution system not owned by the District shall not create an obligation on the part of the District for operation, maintenance or replacement ofa any works ori facilities not owned by the District. District responsibility for maintenance of service extends only tot the water meter and the responsibility beyond the water meter is the property owners. If the water service is connected to aprivate line, the Dstricsresponsiblity stops ati the valve on the District's main. Marks email response states code 3.02 and my propertyi is on a private line. district responsibility to private, and the villages have shared private lines.  Mimi's email response states the size oft the pipe and the valves designate the transition from  So what is a main line and what is aj private line?  2.09 Main or Water Mains  Mains or Water Mains shall mean the portion of the distribution system, which is located in streets, highways, public ways or easements, which are used to supply water to the District's customers. Private Water Line shall mean the portion oft the distribution system located ont the customer's side  2.16 Private Water Line of the service connection. What is a service connection? 2.18 Service Connection  Service Connection generally means the pipe, valves and other facilities by which water is conveyed from the water main to the premises, and includes the tap, corporation stop, curb stop or shut-off valve, and may include meter and/or service box depending ont the type of service.    Soi itshould be pretty/simple. There are two sides when it comes to service lines: A district side and a single customer's property: side. Lines that service ina and out (water and: sewer) to multiple customers properties are main lines and district responsibility. Service connections are used to connecta customer's property to the main line. Anyl lines after a service connection are private and the  customer's responsibility. This is a recap ofv what the codes state.  With that said:  1. The lines in Murieta Village are: serving multiple properties. Lines serving multiple properties is the definition ofar main line. The code for a main line says nothing about line size. This would 2. Private lines are lines on a single property after a service connection. Ifa property has multiple dwellings on a single property with multiple service connections this is when  make the lines district lines and their responsibility.  the line becomes private att the valve ont the district's main.  3. Private lines can'trun to multiple properties.  To sum up with the clarification above The District: should see these are district lines and rescind the letter to the Murieta' Village Association, take responsibility back fort these lines and refund me the  monies Ihadt to spend to repair al District linei in the amount of $1512.50.
