BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Approval of this item will allow WVWD to utilize District's Cactus Basin 2, located in the City of
Rialto, for temporary spreading of water.
As part of its Groundwater Wellhead Treatment System Project, the WVWD constructed a Water
Treatment Facility to pump out and treat groundwater for nitrate, perchlorate contaminants and
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) from two drinking water wells, located in the City of Rialto,
California. WVWD desires to discharge approximately 1,193 acre-feet of water over a period of
208 days in District's Basin 2, after which, the discharge into Basin 2 will cease. WVWD obtained
an encroachment permit, P-22011022, from the District and constructed a discharge pipe into
Basin 2. Special Provision No, 2 of Permit No. P-22011022 requires that prior to the discharge
pipe becoming operational, WVWD and District shall enter into a Water Spreading Agreement. In
accordance with their respective acts and powers and in compliance with Special Provision No. 2
