Actual Cost

The water rights in the Upper Los Angeles River Area were established by the JUDGMENT AFTER TRIAL BY COURT in Superior court Case No. 650079, entitled The City of Los Angeles, A Municipal Corporation, Plaintiffs vs. City of San Fernando, et al., Defendants. Under the Judgment, certain parties have rights to Physical Solution Water upon payment of specified charges. Valhalla and Lockheed have the right to 300 acre-feet and 25 acre-feet of water respectively.

From time to time, other property owners, not covered by the Judgment, have a need to produce ground water for temporary and/or long term dewatering activities relating to construction, building foundations, basements or underground facilities, and for property soil and groundwater contamination clean up activities. The water is typically discharged to a storm drain or sewer. The City of Burbank should be compensated for the removal of this water from the groundwater basin. The charge for this water will be the Physical Solution Water Charge plus an Administrative Fee.

(A)

Physical Solution Water Charge

The charge for Physical Solution water in Burbank is determined by Section 9.4 of the Judgment.

(1)            For Fiscal Year 2007/2008 the charge to Vahalla and Lockheed for the first 300 acre-feet and 25 acre-feet respectfully will be $409.00 per acre-foot.

(2)            Vahalla and Lockheed production exceeding that specified in 1 above, and all other production for dewatering or soil/groundwater clean up activities, will be charged $736 per acre-foot.

(B)

Administrative Fee

An Administrative Fee of $50.00 will be added to each monthly billing.

It is the responsibility of the producer to report the monthly water extraction to the Burbank Water & Power Department, Water Division and the Upper Los Angeles River Area Watermaster.  The reported extraction shall  be made prior to the 15^th of the following month.
