AGENCY PROFILE
Organization history:
In 1913, the La Mesa, Lemon Grove and Spring
Valley Irrigation District was organized. However, the District as now named did not become
an operating water agency until 1926, with the
purchase of the Cuyamaca Water Company.
During the 1950s, rapid growth occurred, resulting in the expansion of the District to include a
large portion of the El Cajon Valley. In 1956, the
District’s name changed to “Helix Irrigation
District.”
In 1962, the District completed construction of
Chet Harritt Dam which forms Lake Jennings, a
9,800 acre-foot capacity reservoir. In 1973, the
name of the District was changed to “Helix Water District,” since only a small portion of the
water supplied by the District was then used for
agriculture. However, the District still operates
under the Irrigation District Act of the State of
California.
The District’s R.M. Levy Water Treatment Plant
was constructed in 1965 and is located in Lakeside at Lake Jennings.
In 1998, the District expanded the R.M. Levy
plant to a treatment capacity of 106 million gallons of water per day. Ozonation was incorporated in the treatment process during this expansion.
The District today serves an area of approximately 50 square miles, and a population of
more than 260,000, and delivers more than
42,000 acre-feet of treated water annually.
District principal act: Water Code Sec. 20500, et
seq.
Population served: 260,158
Service area: 50 square miles / 31,561 acres

Service enhancement:
Cost avoidance/efficiency strategies:
The District participates in a variety of agreements that provide for sharing of facilities and
infrastructures with other agencies. Examples
of these are agreements for emergency interconnections between neighboring agencies and
the District, Capacity Agreements between the
District and the San Diego County Water Authority describing capital improvements associated with cost sharing to construct and maintain facilities providing capacity to neighboring
agencies, such as Padre Dam Municipal Water
District and Otay Water District. Helix also
participates in a Memorandum of Understanding with five other agencies—Otay Water District, Padre Dam Municipal Water District,
Sweetwater Authority, Riverview Water District
and Lakeside Water District—in a shared services arrangement, designating services and
equipment available for use by the agencies and
establishing the costs and conditions under
which they will be used. The program, which is
comparable to a mutual aid agreement, allows
the agencies to share vehicles that include medium size trucks to heavy equipment and specialty equipment, based on a 30-day rental rate
broken down to daily rates. Some equipment
comes with an operator. Utility personnel have
also been shared and compensated according to
each organization’s policy and procedure.
In addition to the Interagency Shared Services
Program, five of the six agencies participate on
the Water Agencies Standards Committee. The
five agencies also use a new materials approved
list, standard specifications, and approved drawings. The establishment of multi-agency standard
specifications improves interactions with the design and development community, who appreciate the consistency among agency standards.
Multiple agency meter purchasing allows participating agencies to enjoy an economy of scale
from purchasing larger orders at lower per unit
rates.
Shared service teams were formed with all five
agencies to work together to increase efficiencies
and buying power, and to establish contacts for
common areas such as finance/purchasing, GIS,
operations, engineering, safety, security, meter
reading, training, public information/education,
supervisor training, planning and material specifications.
Helix Water District
Helix Water District also participates regularly in
American Water Works Association (AWWA)
Cal-Nevada Material Performance Projects.
Landscaping Contract. The District contracts with
a single vendor to perform landscape maintenance at its operations, treatment plant, and administrative office buildings. The contract results
from a competitive bid process. The single contractor has become a cost effective way to maintain District landscaping.
Janitorial Contract. The District contracts with a
single vendor to perform janitorial work at its
operations and administrative office buildings.
The contract results from a competitive bid process. The contractor has become a cost effective
way to handle District janitorial needs.
Paving Contract. The District utilizes a private
contractor for asphalt and concrete repair in conjunction with our force account works. The contractor is selected based on a competitive bid
process.
Vehicle Maintenance Contract. The District’s fleet
of vehicles is maintained by a private vendor. The
maintenance of the fleet by an outside vendor is
more cost-effective than if performed in-house,
due to favorable pricing in the contract.
Metroscan. This agreement with a private firm
allows the District to access County Assessor
parcel data for a fee. A savings results from the
avoided cost to the District of maintaining equipment to store this data in-house.
Lockbox. An agreement with a large local bank
covers the processing of customer payments. Customers mail payments to a local Post Office box,
where they are retrieved by bank personnel and
processed on a high speed check opener/
processor. All the District’s payments are processed the same day and at a cost that remains less
than the cost to bring this service in-house. The
service includes the electronic transmission of
payment data directly into the District’s mainframe for same day posting.
Printing/billing. The District relies on a private
vendor to provide printing and mailing of the
District’s customer bills at a cost less than if the
printing and mailing were done in-house. A savings results from the use of high-speed equipment
owned by a vendor who deals in volume, so the
business can offer cost effective solutions for our
bill processing. The District electronically transmits customer billing data to the vendor where it
is retrieved and processed for mailing.
Employee Assistance Program (EAP). This program
agreement with a private firm provides District employees, spouses and dependents access to a confidential
counseling and referral service. The District prepays all
Page 2
charges. Savings result from the intervention by the EAP
into situations that, if not addressed, could potentially
impact work performance and productivity.
Water Conservation Garden. The District partners with
Otay Water District, Padre Dam Municipal Water District, Cuyamaca College, San Diego County Water Authority, and the City of San Diego in the Water Conservation Garden Authority. The Authority was established
in 1992 for the purpose of designing, building and operating an educational facility to promote water conservation through xerifitic landscaping. The Garden opened
to the public in May 1999.
The partners share in the operating budget cost and
supply staff support to assist garden staff in meeting joint
programming goals.
Operational efficiencies result from leveraging agency
resources into one cost center. This one cost center provides all promotional material, employee salary and benefits, special event costs, training classes, and garden onsite support. All member agencies can direct customers
to this location to learn the principles of low water gardening. Avoided water consumption through conservation is less costly than developing the same amount of
new supply.
Harry Griffen Park Joint Powers Agency. In 1985, Harry
Griffen Regional Park opened to the public—a joint
project of the Helix Water District, County of San
Diego, Grossmont Union High School District, and the
cities of La Mesa and El Cajon. The City of La Mesa
serves as lead agency; the property for the park was dedicated in perpetuity for park purposes by Helix Water
District.
The District’s 30 million gallon Grossmont Reservoir lies
beneath the park site, with the above-ground 50 acres of
the site providing passive park recreation for the region.
Operational efficiencies result from one cost center
shared by Helix Water District, the City of La Mesa and
the County of San Diego. This cost center funds all staffing and operational costs of the park.
The District maintains the reservoir; the Harry GriffenPark Joint Powers Agency maintains all remaining infrastructure.
San Diego County Water Authority. Helix Water District
has been a member of the San Diego County Water
Authority (SDCWA) from its inception. The District
contributes to the operating and capital cost of the Authority through its wholesale water purchases. Operating
efficiencies result from one provider handling the import
of water for resale to local agencies, and from the economies of scale that result from the Authority’s handling
water infrastructure, storage, treatment and resource
planning on behalf of its member agencies.
Joint Powers Insurance Authority. The Helix Water
District has been a member of the Association of Cali-
Helix Water District
fornia Water Agencies, Joint Powers Insurance Authority
(ACWA/JPIA) since its inception in 1979. The District
participates in the JPIA’s property, liability, health benefits, and workers’ compensation programs. Liability and
workers’ compensation claims administration is handled
by JPIA staff. Close to 300 water agencies currently participate in the pool. The efficiencies of membership provide lower than market premium rates. Policies are established by member agencies via representatives to the
Board of Directors, aided by an Executive Committee;
the Board and Committee are supported by staff who
consist of skilled professionals in the industry. A further
efficiency is the support provided by JPIA to member
agencies in the monitoring and control of risks. Agencies
are regularly audited for risk exposure and provided
safety and risk management strategies, in order to most
effectively manage the pooled agency experience levels.
California Urban Water Conservation Council
(CUWCC) Helix Water District is one of the original
signatories to the Council begun in 1991, and dedicated
to promoting best management practices for water use
and conservation. The CUWCC recognizes conservation
and its promotion as a true source of water.
Subarea Plan to Joint Agencies Natural Communities
Conservation Plan (NCCP). Implementing agreements
among Helix Water District, Sweetwater Authority, Padre Dam Municipal Water District and Santa Fe Irrigation District and regulatory agencies will enable each
water agency to self permit, fix mitigation ratios, and rely
upon pre-approved mitigation ratios for future water
agency project endangered species impacts.
The goal of participation is to provide a plan acceptable
to the resource agencies. Efficiencies from Helix participation in this joint effort include:
Self permitting; mitigations pre-approved
Long-term coverage (50 years)
No surprise rule if species added in the future
Critical habitat designation protection
Regulatory streamlining
Good communications, annual meeting with wildlife agencies
East County Regional Treated Water Improvements
Program. The San Diego County Water Authority, Padre Dam Municipal Water District, Otay Water District,
and Lakeside Water District entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Helix Water District in 2005
for the purpose of funding and constructing a variety of
integrated infrastructure improvements to improve regional water treatment capacity in East County by maximizing use of the R.M. Levy Water Treatment Plant,
thereby reducing treated water demand from the San
Diego County Water Authority’s regional aqueduct system and the Metropolitan Water District’s Lake Skinner
Water Treatment Plant.
El Monte Valley Groundwater Recharge Project. Helix
Page 3
Water District and the Endangered Habitats Conservancy entered into an Memorandum of Understanding
to work together to explore the feasibility of a new water
project that would add to the region’s water supply and
aid in revegetation of a District-owned area along the San
Diego River. Further benefits would be habitat restoration and community recreational use of the San Diego
Riverbed, which runs through the District’s property in
the El Monte Valley. If determined feasible, the project
will provide five million gallons of purified water per
day—10 to 15 percent of the District’s total water demand.
Governmental opportunities reorganization with
neighboring agencies:
District facilities have generally been planned and
designed to adequately serve the area within the
District’s sphere of influence. We are unaware of
any areas that could be more efficiently served by
Helix outside our District.

Governmental opportunities reorganization with
neighboring agencies:
EXCELLENCE AWARD from the San Diego
Business Journal for efficient electricity management
The District currently provides or can provide service to all areas within its current
boundary. There are two areas within the
eastern portion of the District’s boundary
located in the Twin Oaks Valley and Bennett
Acres areas that were removed from the District’s sphere of influence by LAFCO and
included within the Vallecitos Water District’s sphere of influence. While these areas
can be served by Vallecitos, it is not a given
that the service would be more efficient nor
more reliable. VID is not aware of any opportunities for future reorganizations.
ACWA-JPIA President’s Special Recognition Award
for achieving a low ratio of “Paid (injury) Claims and
Case Reserves” to “Deposit Premiums”
Other:
VID has inter-ties with the City of Oceanside, Rincon del Diablo Municipal Water
District (MWD), Carlsbad MWD, and
Vallecitos WD to move water to and from
each agency during emergencies and operational adjustments by any of the agencies. A
formal arrangement is shared by VID and
Vallecitos WD, as well as numerous exchange agreements for water deliveries between the two agencies.
Infrastructure improvements:
Major improvements to service delivery sought by
agency to address infrastructure/service deficiencies
over next five years.
Deficiencies have been identified and accommodated in VIDs Potable Water Master Plan. These
projects are prioritized and scheduled in upcoming
fiscal year budgets. Additionally, the District has an
ongoing main replacement program. Facilities
needing replacement are identified and prioritized
by several factors including age, material, leak history, location, number of services/fire hydrants on
main, etc. Projects are included in each fiscal year’s
capital budget and scheduled accordingly.
