The series inehules lUilletin Nos. 25 to 36, inclusive. Bulletin No. 25, "Keport to Lejrislature of 19:31 on State Water Plan," is a summary report of the entire investigation. Prior to the studies carried out under this act, the Avater resoui'ees investigation had been in progress more or less continuously since 1921 under several statutory enactments. The results of the earlier ^vol•k have been published as Bulletin Nos. 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 19, and 20 of the former Division of Engineering and Irrigation. Nos. 5, 6. and 7 of the former Division of Water Rights, and Nos. 22 and 24 of the Division of Water Resources. This bulletin is one of two pertaining to investigations of the water resources of the State pi-epared cooperatively by the Division of Agricultural Engineering, United States Department of Agriculture, the University of California Agricultural Experiment Station, and the Division of Water Resources of the State Department of Public Works. It is a revision, extension and enlargement of an earlier report, Bulletin No. 8, "Cost of Water to Irrigators in California." i)ublished in 1925 by the former Division of Engineering and Irrigation, State Depart- ment of Public Works, which set forth the costs in 1922. Information regarding the unit prices California irrigators now are paying for water is an important factor in deterniining the economic feasibility of the State Water Plan. It must be recognized, however, that the present costs in some instances may be more or less than are economically justified. The data jiresented herein represt-nts the results of a stud}' of the cost of irrigation water covering the i)ast several yeai's, and the year 1929 in particular, under the various types of irrigation enterprises in California, namely : i)ublic utilities, mutual water companies, irri- gation districts and farm irrigation ]ium]iiiig ]ilants. Varying con- ditions of development, methods of distribution and types of water supply are covered, based ujjou the data obtained from the agency furnishing or distributing the water supply, or from the water user. Every etfort has been made to ]iresent the data aecurately and with completeness, but judgment and jjroper caution should be used in eom])aring costs of irrigation water under the varying conditions considered in the following text. (13) riTAPTEH 1 INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY Each year water is becoming more valuable and dificnlt to obtain, coiisoqnently bankers, investors, jjoverninent officials, enjrineers and farmers may well ask. therefore, what expenditure is justified to develop a water supply for the profitable production of the crops that can be raised on the lantl and what water charsje such land can afford to pay. Farmers and ]irospoetive farmers, also, are in need of such eost (lata as will enable thnn to choose ci'ops that c;in be prrown |)rofit- ably under the prevailini:: water charges. Scope of Report. In California the following types of enterprises furnish irriga- tion water : public utilities, contract companies, irrigation districts, nuitual water comjianies, individuals, partnerships, associations. ])ri- vate companies. United States Bureau of Kc'-lamation, United States Indian Service, State land settlements, water works districts, municipal improvement districts and reclamation districts. However, for the puri)ose of this investigation, most of the data collected may be grouped in four classes: public utilities, mutual water companies, irrigation districts and farm irrigation pumping plants. For a report of this character to be useful in pidilished form, it should give information on the type of irrigation system, locality, age, source of water supply, amount of water delivered, acreage irrigated, crops raised, capital invested, and water charges, in addition to annual cost of water to the irrigator. In this study such data were obtained by visiting the ])rincii)al irrigation enteri)rises of the state. The tables on cost of irrigation water are based on data furnished by the agency distributing the water or by the water user. On the major and more important tables, a notation to this effect is made. It was neither feasible nor practicable to extend the investigation to include all irrigation enterprises in California. However, it is believed that the data presented are well representative of the costs throughout the state. Much information collected was so fragmentary and incomplete that its inclusion was not Avarranted. While the report covers the past several years, the data for the year 1929 are presented in more detail than that for other years. Cost data presented in this report must be used with judgment in considering the varying factors entering into that cost, and caution should be exercised particularly in comparing cost under one type of enterprise with that under another type, as well as between enterprises of the same type where varying conditions apply, ^lethods used in distribution of water, accuracy of measurements of amounts delivered, differences in points of measurment, variations in manner of collection of tolls and methods of assessment, together with diversity in character and amounts of water supply, are factors that render difficult the placing of the cost to the user upon a strictly comparable basis for all enterprises. Data on amounts of water delivered are of varying degrees of accuracy. Some are results of careful measurements or (15) 16 DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES metering:. At the other extreme are the estimates of the system engi- neer or superintendent, based on occasional or periodical gagings and close familiarity with the use of water under the system. Care was taken, however, to have the data present, if not exactly, at least approxi- mately, the true use of water at the point at which the distributing agancy measures its delivery. Where a system does not have sufficient water supply or the irrigators receive water from other sources, the fact is so noted by footnotes to the tables. Wherever possible, influ- encing factors are noted in the tables or appended thereto as footnotes. The factors entering into the cost of irrigation water diifer for each type of enterprise; hence they are treated separateh' under the head- ings of Public Utilities, Mutual Water Companies, Irrigation Districts and Farm Irrigation Pumping Plants. In comparing costs of irri- gation water it should be borne in mind that those under the various agencies are not directly comparable. One agency may include cost of lateral distribution and similar costs to the user, whereas others merely serve water at its source or from a main canal. Payment is made for irrigation water from a public utility only if it is used, whereas irrigation districts usually impose some charge on all lauds in every year, even though no water is usel. Furthermore, few irrigation districts have been in operation long enough to reach full maturity on their bond issue at which time assessments need be made to meet the maintenance and operation expenses only. Fixed annual charges are less per unit of water delivered in a season of large or complete delivery than in a year of small use or water supply. This should be considered in use of all tables of cost, and particularly those for the year 1929 only. The data have been compiled and summarized in tables, but to many readers the information would have little meaning without further explanation. Accordingly, each type of enterprise is discussed briefly, with regard to its nature and the factors comprising the annual cost of water, and an explanatory description accompanies each table. In the appendix are given similar data collected in 1922.* Summary. Four kinds of enterprises, public utilities, mutual water companies, irrigation districts and farm irrigation pumping plants have been con- sidered. Cost data for these types of enterprises are not always com- parable as their forms of organization are different, and comparisons between two systems of the same type of enterprise are often difficult because factors affecting the cost of water vary widely. To present this summary in tabular form may add to the difficulties unless the reader realizes that it is to be used only to give a general view of the cost situation. The following summaries give the range in cost of water for 1929, including interest on capital invested : For public utility water companies the minimum annual cost of irrigation water per acre is 37 cents and the maximum $72.14. The cost per acre-foot varies from 30 cents to $34.85. The higher costs in the Sierra foothills, as compared with the valley areas, are, in the main, due to added expense for serving isolated tracts. * state of California, Department of Public Works Bulletin No. 8, "Cost of Water to Irrigators in California," by Harry F.

"Section 2. Whenever any private corporation or association is organized for the purpose solely of delivering water to its stockholders or members at cost, and delivers water to no one except its stockholders or members at cost, such private corporation or association is not a public utility, and is not subject to the jurisdiction, control or regulation of the railroad commission of the State of California." Contract water companies selling water to noncontract holders haye been classified by the commission as public utilities to that extent, as haye mutual water companies deliyerino- water for compensation to others than their members or stockholders. Method of Financing. ]Most iHiblic Utility water companies haye been financed by private capital. Theoretically the capital stock represents the investment, or the cost of water rights, development of a water supply, and irrigation works. The original irrigation enterprises of this type were generally of two classes — those under which Avater rights were sold for a fixed sum, with the addition of an annual charge for maintenance and operation of the irrigation system, and those under which water Avas furnished for an annual rental. Under the Public l^tilities Act of 1911 the State Railroad Com- mission was giyen the power not only to fix the rates charged by water corporations, but practically to regulate their entire business, includ- ing manner of seryice. measurement of water, incurrence of indebted- ness, accounting, profits, etc. Each company is required to file its rates with the commission and to give a yearly report, on special forms provided, showing details of its operations. Factors in Cost of Water Under Public Utilities. The factors that determine the annual cost of water to irrigators under public utilities are water rates and the amount of water delivered.

A mutual company may be considered a special form of private com])any in which the stock represents water rijrlits and is entirely owned by those to be served. Organization and Financing. Mutual water companies are incorporated under the ofcneral statute regulating? the organization of private companies. INIany of the mutual companies have been organized by enteri)rises engaged in the sub- division and sale of land in connection with the sales program. Usually the land companies built the irrigation systems, either wholly or in part, in advance of settlement, and organized the mutual com- panies on paper, shares of stock being issued to settlers when the land was sold. In most cases the settlers obtain control of the irrigation system after 50 per cent of the stock has been issued. Some mutual companies have been organized by the landowners directly, working together for the development of a water supply and the construction of an irrigation system. Usually, in such cases, the works were built little by little and were not completed for sevei-al years, the length of the period depending upon how construction funds were obtained. Funds have been raised by subscriptions to capital, by direct assessment of the capital stock, by bonds, and by small loans. In a few cases settlers have cooperated in building works by their own labor. The affairs of mutual companies- are controlled by a board of direc- tors elected annually by the stockholders. The president is elected ])}• the directors from one of their own number. As a rule the secre- tary keeps the books and records and computes and collects water charges. A superintendent usually is placed in charge of water delivery, operation and maintenance. The number of ditch tenders assisting him in delivering the water depends upon the size of the company. Water Stock. Shares of stoi-k in mutual water companies are generally issued on the basis of the area to be irrigated. One share of stock per acre is usual, although in one case as many as 100 shares per acre Avere issued and in other instances one share covers 640 acres. In many cases, however, a share of stock does not represent any unit area of land, but only a pro rata share of the available water supply, and is not appurtenant to the individual holding. Under this plan the irrigator may purchase or rent as many shares of stock for his land as he • California Statutes 1913, Chapter 80, page 84. 26 DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES chooses. Each share of stock may represent a right to a specified amount of water, nsnally stated in terms of continuous flow. A company may or may not make the stock appurtenant to the land. If the stock is appurtenant to the land it is so stated in the by-laws or articles of incorporation of the company. A provi.sion of the Cali- fornia law authorizes mutual companies to make their stock appurte- nant by enacting a by-law to that effect, having the same recorded in the office of the county recorder and describing the lands in the stock certificates.* When this provision of the law is exercised to the full extent, the shares and the water can not be sold separately from the land. Although the stock may have a stated high par value, it has no independent market value, but nevertheless, such a value does exi.st under cover of the land prices. Several methods are used to fix the price of unsold shares of stock after the first year. One method is to require the subsequent purchaser to pay the par value, plus all assessments to date, plus simple interest. Another method is to add assessments, but no interest to the par value, while some companies fix stated prices independent of the assessments that have been levied. In some instances the stock is made appurtenant only to the tract of land to be subdivided and to adjoining lands, allowing transfers of stock to be made between individual landowners within this area, necessarily requiring, however, that such transfers be made tlirough the company's office. Under this plan an irrigator may invest in as many shares as he needs, depending upon the crops grown. In a number of companies, especially in central California, the stock is not appurtenant to the land. The stock may be transferred at will by sale or lease to any lands that are susceptible of irrigation from the system. Under this arrangement it is usual to find a number of independent lateral ditches distributing water beyond the area origi- nally served by the company's system. A very complicated situation, resulting from the organization of the independent distributing ditches into mutual companies, sometimes exists. In many cases these sub- lateral companies are organized solely to distribute water to holders of stock in the parent company and to enforce a fair distribution of the costs to those benefited. When this is the case the stock of the.se sublateral companies usually has no market value and the ditches belonging to these companies are locally called "dry ditches." In some cases, however, the sublateral company owns the stock in the parent company and its stock has a market value, usually dependent upon the value of stock in the parent company. The principal advantage of not having the stock apiiurtenant to the land is that an irrigator need not have any more stock than he requires for the irrigation of his crops, making it possible for him to adjust his Avater supply to the crops grown and the methods of irrigation practiced. Here there is an incentive for more economical use of water, but the advantages are offset in some sections by practical dis- advantages. For example, where unlimited transfers are permitted during the irrigation season, it is very difficult for the company to distribute its water .supply uniformly on the basis of the number of shares owned, especially wher(^ the supply is not entirely adequate. In manv cases in central California where the .stockholders are • California Civil Code, section 324. COST OK IRRIOATIOX WATER IN CALIFORNIA 27 (Icpeiidont upon prixMtc iMiin])in par value of the stock was used as the basis, the value of the water i-i<4ht may possibly not be included. In numy cases where the present market value of the stock was used it does not represent the cost of watei- to stockholders who may have jiurchascd their stoi-k when its value was nuich lower, but it does rei)resent present value. In all cases the ea])ital investment has been reduced to an acreage basis and the interest charge has been computed at six i)er cent. Anmuiif of Water Delivered. — The amount of water delivered to the irrigator is a factor in the annual cost of water, not only in determining the amount of the water charge, but also in determining the total cost per acre-foot. The amounts given in this report rejn-esent the average amounts, expressed in acre-feet per acre, delivered by the company to tlie irrigator. Tn most cases in southern California it is an indication of the amount of water reipiired and may be considered the net duty of water under the system. In many cases in central California a sup- plemental supply from private wells may be required in the latter part of the season and the data may possibly not indicate the actual water requirement. Cost of Water in Southern California. The method used in arriving at the cost of water under mutual water companies in southern California, as set out in Table 5, has been to take into account the as.sessment on the capital stock, the charge for water delivered, and the interest on capital stock. The entire cost is included in these items, with the exception of depreciation on the j^lant, which has not been considered because it was not practical to include in this study the vast amount of work necessary to fairly determine depre- ciation under each of the many systems. No doubt in many cases repairs of a i)ermanent nature offset this factor. From the .sum of the above three items considered should be deducted the amount juit into a sinking fund to retire bonds or loans. Interest paid on the princijial is properly chargeable to the annual cost of water, while funds collected to retire the i)rincipal of indebtedness are not. They should be charged to capital account. ^Many irrigators overlook the fact that funds invested in water stock would earn interest if loaned out and that such interest should be charged to their annual cosi: of irrigation water. Of the items that make the total annual cost of water, the assessments and interest on capital stock are fixed charges because they relate to a share of stock and must be paid whether any water is used or not, but water charges or rates vary in many cases according to the amounts of water used l)y the stockholders. For these and other reasons, together with the fact that the duty of water per acre is not uniform, the matter of fairly comparing the annual cost of water under different mutual com})anies is comjilex. 30 DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES Cost of Water to Irrigators. The annual cost of water to irrigators under most of the important mutual water companies in southern California is shown in Table 5. In addition to the cost of water to irrigators the table shows factors which affect the cost and otlier useful data. Most of the column head- ings are self-explanatory, but a few require more detailed descriptions. Column 8, "Year organized," in man\- instances will give some idea of the age of water rights or system. Column 17, "Value of stock per acre," is obtained by multiplying amounts given in column 15, "Market value of stock per share," by the corresponding amounts in column 16, "Average number shares per acre." Where market value is not available the par value is used. Column ^2, "Water charge per acre for the average amount used," is equal to the amounts given in column 21, "Water rate per acre-foot," multiplied by those in column 12, "Average duty of water, acre-feet per acre," except in a few instances where the water rate is on the basis of a flat charge per acre. The last six columns of the table are the final results obtained from the previous columns and show the annual cost of water. Columns 24 and 25, "Annual cost of water for use of one acre-foot only," were included in the tabulations primarily for comparison pur- poses. They show what the cost would be if the irrigator used only one acre-foot instead of the average amount, as indicated in column 12. Hence under companies raising all tbeir funds by assessments an irri- gator using one acre-foot pays just as much as the irrigator who uses two acre-feet. On the other hand, if the water charge is on a measured basis the water user pays according to the amount used. Column 24 is equal to the "Average annual assessment per acre" (column 19), plus the "Water rate, per acre-foot" (column 21), minus the "Average debt retired per acre" (column 28). Column 25 is equal to the amount in column 24, plus the "Interest on value of capital stock per acre at 6 per cent" (column 18). Columns 26 and 27 give the "Annual cost of water per acre for the average amount used." Column 26 is equal to the "Average annual assessment ]wv acre" (column 19), plus "Water charge per acre for average amount used" (column 22), minus "Average debt retired per acre" (column 23). Column 27 is equal to the amount in column 26, plus "Interest on value of cajntal stock per acre at 6 per cent" (column 18). Columns 28 and 29 indicate the annual cost of water per acre-foot for the average amount used. These data are obtained by dividing the amounts in columns 26 and 27, respectively, by the "Average duty of water, acre-feet per acre" (column 12).

One of these coniiianies. the Anaheim "Watfi- foinpany. was formed in 1859 in coiniection with the estahlishmenl of Anaheim Colony by the Los Anpreles Vineyard Society. Anotlier ditch was of even lonf?er standinpr. "Water is obtained by diversion from Santa Ana River and by pnmping from wells. The articles of incorporation of Anaheim Union Water Company provided for delivering? water to stockholders within a defined area of 12,000 acres, and for the issuance of 12,000 shares of stock. At present the stock is made ajipurtenant to a prescribed area of abont 14,800 acres, within which it may be transferred at will. The number of authorized shares has been reduced to 8004, which is the number now outstandinpr. Of this number. 20 shares are nonassessable. The par vahie is $100 and the market value has fluctuated from $70 to $.'500, but has remained close to $100 during the past ten years. In 1929 it was quoted at $95 ; in 1930, $110. The usual holding of stock is at the rate of one share per acre. Approximately 9500 acres are covered by water stock, but part of this area also is supplied by individual pumping plants. The area that may be considered irrigated solely from the company system, after making allowance for the above duplication, is estimated at 8000 acres, of which 7500 acres are in citrus and 500 acres in deciduous fruits. The duty of water and cost figures are based on this estimated area of SOOO acres. 4 Water is delivered on demand when the available quantity permits; otherwise it is prorated and delivered in rotation. The company will not deliver water to more than two shares of stock per acre. The standard irrigation head is 100 inches, but much smaller heads are available for small tracts on the heavier soils. Delivery is usually made to the individual user at his corner, and is measured through a sub- merged orifice. The water charge in 1920 and 1921, per hour per 100 inches, varied from 40 cents in the winter months to $1.20 in the summer; in 1922 to 1929, inclusive, from 60 cents to $1.80, res])eetively. This company has valuable oil properties, the income from which has served to decrease the co.st of water to the .stockholders. In fact, partly because of the availability of this oil revenue, no assessments were levied at gr^ •» •» — «•» ••^^ ao i oSoS §00-00.^1 00 at S2 s?s 00 o ss ^co o-w — — o oo ^ r£> cn 05 M rt e»5 coc« OO'W CI 00 00 CO 2-0 00 •* »^ OO Q O — OS t^co ai9> oo CO CI CO d CO CO OOO 2 t~^ t~i^ ic »o ^ CI OO t^l- •«■•» 0« — — Q 00 *► (O ic d— 3" CICJ a> os» ^^ _rf •-4 -^ CI CI ■A O tC o o OOOOaiCt-cc^ mt^ i^r— — 00 OOOO •*•«■ CO — O O — — ■ Q ?;c GO t^ c^ t^ -<*« •^^H OO-W c-)oo 00 — CO 3S OO •»• •oo> 2 00 •» «* — «» — <* OO — oocccc-o o o oo^-r-M^D-^ o ■♦-o ■■o » t-" r-.r>- OCJ lOO OOO — ■^ — CC2; COIM OO C I0»0 O C3 — — ^^ •^ yz 00 cj cc *0 lO ^ oo -^ OlOO OOCI ClOO O CI ■*oo 5c^ o «* — ••— ^ l-« •• t-H o « lO c O?) o S oo — OOOOCiN o C^ h- 0»05 0SO5 CSirS r>- r^ t^r^ ■"fO O OOO OS CM 0)2; o at b* t^ -JD ^O I^ 1^ r-. t^ !0 « coco o — — ^- o COOO CS OCM OS o>w -^•o :C C-i CO 00 2 — t^CO tc — s^ = «» — ^ !M •»-^ (-) « ci a • CO o OOO — •O'^r-* o •*00 t- 1^ OOO coco r^ t^ CO OS v4 .Soo O OOoo OCMO;^ o — to »ra OOOO t^ -^ >o>n t^i^ CJ CO o ! — — o -^ o If; o CO CO «•* C^QO -^e-i C5CO (OCI O to coos o • o .11* — — «» ^ cj •» — 1--. 4) ooor-»c o»oo In^s moo r^t^ ««>o lO— .

This system is an amalgamation and extension of old riparian ditches serving land in the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana in Orange County. The section is intensively developed, consisting almost entirely of citrus and walnut groves. The area irrigated has decreased slowly, but steadily, from 17,416 to 16,586 acres in the ten years ending with 1929, due to subdivision of agricultural areas into residential prop- erty. However, the authorized capitalization of the company covers 20,000 shares, and- the primary purpose of incorporation was to deliver water to owners of lands in the above named rancho. Water is procured by gravity diversion from Santa Ana River and by pumping from wells, pumping to augment the gravity flow having been resorted to many years ago. The quantities pumped in 1923 and succeeding years have greatly exceeded those of preceding years. Prior to 1922 water was delivered in rotation when it was necessary to prorate the available supply. Various individuals, however, had installed private pumping plants to insure their own supply during periods of heaviest use, and from this the practice arose of selling pumped water to others. In 1922 the company inaugurated the policy of supplementing its own gravity and pumped water supply, when necessary, by purchasing water at two cents per inch-hour from private pumping plants and delivering the aggregate to stockholders on demand. For some years the company has been replacing private laterals with its own pipe lines, intending eventually to reach every user directly. Deliveries in most cases are now made at the user's land. The head is 100 inches, delivered through an opening 33^ inches wide by three inches deep, measured under a pressure of four inches above the top of the opening. Fractional heads down to one-twentieth head, or five inches, are measured through openings of the same three-inch depth under the same pressure. The inch used by this company is the outstanding exception in southern California, where the prevailing inch is equivalent to one-fiftieth second-foot. Water is appurtenant to the land, the company having been incor- porated as a delivering agency only. Capital stock is made appur- tenant to the land by the articles of incorporation and by-laws. The stock therefore has no real market value. However, treasury stock sold by the company has an arbitrary sale value, computed bj^ adding to the par value of $5 per share, the amount of each assessment levied since organization of the company, plus simple interest at ten per cent per annum on each assessment from the time when due. Receipts and disbursements are segregated into the construction fund and the expense fund. Assessments and receipts from the sale of stock are paid into the constrviction fund and used only for perma- nent improvements and other capital investments and for litigation in defense of water rights. Receipts from water charges and other sources go into the expense fund for operation, maintenance and cui'- rent expenses. Loans are charged to one fund or the other and sim- ilarly discharged. Assessments have been levied at the rate of 55 cents per share for a number of years, there having been three assessments per annum from 1920 to 1924 and four per annum from 1925 on. Water charges COST OF IinUtiATIOX WATER IX CALIFOUNIA 47 vary from year to year and durinLT the year. In 1929, when fjravity water wa.s not all in ns(\ th(> rate was 40 eents per hour per 100 inehcs and for one pei'iod :{0 eents; when trravity water was all in use, 80 eents; wh(>n the company's pumpinji: started, $1; when private jiumpiii'T plants were enii)loyed, $1.20. The eoinpany has never issnivl bonds. Its indebtedness, represented by notes jiayable. varies considerably from year to year. These notes are held in lartre part by stockholders. The cost of water under this company shows a distinct trend upward.s duriuLT th(> ten years ending with 1029. This is true even without considering: interest on the arbitrary value of the capital stock, ^\■hich inerea.ses with each assessment. The years 1920 and 1921 are not strictly comi)arable Avith the followinpr eiprht years, inasmuch as the casts for 1920 and 1921 do not include water used from private ]iump- inu: plants. The peak of 1927. in cost per acre-foot exclusive of inter- est, is due jiartly to the relatively low averapre delivery of one and one-half acre-feet per acre tliat year and partly to the large propor- tion of pumped watm- used. Pumped water was 57.7 per cent of the total amount used in 1927. ("onsidering the years 1923 and 1929, in Avhich years the averacre use of water was almost identical, the cost per acre-foot, excluding interest, increased from $3.60 to $5.21, or 44.7 per cent. Eliminating assessments and debt retirements from consideration, the comparable increase was from $3.26 to $4.26, or 30.7 per cent, which is shown in Plate IV. The plate also presents a comparison of the annual water charge with the total operation and maintenance expenditures, the rain- fall in the company's service area, the area irrigated and the duty of the water delivered. The influence of the cost of pumping factor may be gaged by the following comparison : 1923 1929 Increase Total Per cent Total disbursements, expense account . . 1112,774 16 33.346 97 8.369 50 »157,194 57 60.976 22 22,878 25 $44,420 41 39.4 Item of power...

This method of computation har- monizes with the preneral pr(>sentation in this bulletin; however, for tliis company, it does not represent the real cost to the water users, in view of the several sales of capital assets, sales of treasury stock, flotations of bond issues, and other important financial transactions that iiave taken jilace durinjr the thirteen years considered. An addi- tional presentation is therefore made of the annual cost computed after deductinjr from each assessment the amount available for capital invest- ment, without consideriuLj whether such amount was actually applied upon retirement of indebtedness or expenditures for new improvements. The amount available for capital investment has been computed by deducting from the assessment the total expenditures for operation and maintenance, where such expenditures were less than the assess- ment. It will be noted from Plate V that in several years these expenditures exceeded the assessment. Such cases were handled as follows: The costs for 1917 and 1918 were taken as the a.sses.sments for those years, owinj; to a carry-over from the 1916 assessment which more than accounts for the deficits. The costs for 1926 and 1929 are also taken as the respective assessments; the deficit from 1926 is applied on the two years followinof. and that from 1929 is left for future years. The cost trend from 1917 to 1929 has been ^[enerallj^ upward. The pronounced drop in 1922 was due principally to the relatively small quantity of water pumped that year. Reference to Plate V shows that the largest increases in expenditures in recent years have been for pumping and for interest, discount and taxes. The item of inter- est on the bond issues of 1924 and succeeding years accounts for a material portion of the increase. Also shown in Plate V are the rainfall for the vears of the studv, a comparison of the gravity and pumped water .supplies of the company for each of these years, the duty of these supplies, and the area irrigated. 52 DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES ■**" t^ OO (M Cvl '— ■ > w D u z OOct oo oo ^ C5CO ■^f t^oo (M C<» ^^ — ■ •>!• o -.o a) lOl^ — o c o ,— 05 MH t^ oo CI C^3 '^ •^ -^ ^^ Oi^ 0^ --.

The ori<;inal surveys were math' l)>' persons interested in tlie ciiltiva- tion of mulherry trees for silk production, hut the first appreciable construction work was done by thcii- successors, the Southern California Colony Association. The Riverside Water Company was entitled, by virtue of its articles of incori)()ration, to sell water to other than stockholders, and con- sequently was sometimes looked upon as a public utility. In fact, in the early days water was delivered to certain landowners who had ae(]uired prescriptive rifrhts ami who refused to buy stock in the company.

The exact proportion of shares in these classes varies somewdiat from year to year, but the approximate ratio above has held for many years. The co.st of water i)er acre has followed a jijenerally upward trend duriug: the ten-year period ending with 1929. The drop in 1926 coin- cides with a drop in operation and maintenance expenditures that year, which in turn coincides wath a decided drop in the quantity of water delivered. The cost drop in 1929, when a relatively large quan- tity of water was delivered, is attributable to low^er expenditures for canal and pipe-line maintenance and renewals. It will be noted from Plate VII that expenditures for ])umping have been increasing since 1922 with considerable regularity, constituting the most important factor in the increased cost of water. Next to pumping, the extensive pipe-line replacement program of 1928 and 1929 has had most to do with the higher costs of late years. Interest on indebtedness has been a minor factor. Legal expenses account for the recent increase in the grou]) of "Other operating ex])enditures." Plate VII also showing trends in cost per acre aiul per acre-foot, without interest on the value of capital stock, gives only the cost for the majority shares which pay the full water tax. Cost tigures for such shares make a closer approach to actuality than do those for the minor- ity shares, which are given a refund from the water tax, inasmuch as the refund is an otfset to the minority shareholders' own cost of main- taining their own pipe lines. The total cost to such minority share holders is, therefore, greater than is indicated by com[)utations in which the refund is deducted. To present a complete picture, the accom- panying Table 12 gives both sets of costs so far as the Gage Canal Com- pany is concerned, with an additional presentation of the average for all shares. Plate VII, which also compares the expenditures for ojiera- tion and maintenance with the annual water tax, also refers to the average rather than to either group of shares, inasmuch as the average annual water tax represents the net portion of the tax collections actually available to the company for ojieration or investment purjioses. Presented in the plate also are rainfall records, dut}' of water used, and information on the area of land irrigated each year from 1918 to 1929. 60 DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES > 1/1 o z 0^ O CO <; o < CO M OS ■ UJ Q -J O X o o H o H H < Z o H O o H O u Z o o o o o o OS OO oo ■- OO 00 oo ■^ t^ (M C^ oo OCM ■^ CC CISCO ITS CO O d CO (M Oi o ^CO -H09 *- CO ^ CO Oi cc « e^ «0 e» «^ CD- T •^ o OO -«*« to OS lOiO OS OS coirs — ^^ m ic 00 r* ~o c>» o OO CD(M r^t^ CO cc Of- 00 oo "* Tt« ^H Oi ^ CD ■^C^lMO in t^ C «— 1 CD *? o o o o o; CD a; oo oo lO -^ OO OO lO -^ 00 ■r? o OO o o 2: 2: a o 2 o o oo t^-^ oo oo t^-» cc U3 • c^ «^ ^ «« «» «* »-» «r «► CD O OO aj oi cs .— « .—1 ^- ^^ CO CO . ^^ «— < »-^ o t* CO o o OO z t^ -^r - »« -^-H ^H -^ O-O" lom to WD oo CD o o OO C CO o ■ (N CD CD cc o >o-* t-- 1^ t^t^ lo m CD cc •"j^rcc^ o 00 Ol •^ ooo ooo CO cr; r^ift t^iO CO 00 .H c^ -»• o »-< (M ^^J<-«I ^■^ oo CM d ■^r (M M o 00 c^ CO M o (M O ■*o ooo 00 CD CO c» .. c« - ■^ CO e« «» CO ^ CD O o o O OJ t^ o o oo 0-* COCO COCO cn-«< ■^ 00 O OO c c o o zz 00 oo oo to t- ^^ -rf r^ o Tf< J •» Oi €^ o» *— 1 5 ^ ; ; C9 i 1 "rt ! i .»:> k ^ i ; 1 : V 1 £ ' i ' 1 ■5 acre-feet per acre res per acre )er acre _ pit ; McD : S3 : Si; O fe ; verage amount used per acre ^ 1 > « i Q.

This company siiceocded the Citizens Water Company of San Jacinto, a public utility. Several chanjies of orjrani/.ation, including tlic f()i-niati(ui and abandonment of San Jacinto and Pleasant Valley Irrij^ation District in the early nineties, preceded the acquisition of the public utility system in 1})21 by the water users or<;ani/ed as a mutual company. The Fruitvale ^futual Water Company, upon pur- chasing the works from the Citizens Company and exchanfrinpr shares of stock for water-rijrht certiticates held by consumers, was authorized by the Railroad Commission to abandon public service and acquire complete mutual status as of May 10, 1921. The original capitalization of $400,000 was increased to $600,000 in li»2:?. This con.sists of 6000 .shares of stock with par value of $100 per share. Of this number 4827 shares were outstanding October 31, 1!12I). Treasury stock is sold by the company for $75 per share, the proceeds being devoted to extensions and improvements. The articles of incorporation and by-laws provide that one share or less per acre shall be made appurtenant to the land; additional shares may be transferred from one tract to another. The initial bond i.ssue of 1920 was $260,000. Retirements of prin- cipal to 1!)27 aggregated $48,000. A new issue of $.'J50.000 was then autliorized, of which $300,000 was used to refund all outstanding bonds and to finance new improvements, the balance of $50,000 being held for future use. Indebtedness outstanding October 31, 1929, con- sisted of the $300,000 of bonds and $23,376.54 of notes and current liabilities. Assets at that date totaled $1,349,200.19. The sources of water supply are San Jacinto River and wells. In addition to its own wells, the company has agreements with owners of a number of private wells to purchase surplus water when needed. Of the total quantity of water procured in 1929. gravity water con- stituted 19 per cent, water ]nimped by the company 73 per cent, and water purchased from private pumi)ing plants 8 per cent. The per- centage of water pumpcil has increased greatlv since 1922, as sho^^^l on Table 13 and Plate VIII. Asses.sments are levied for paying the interest and principal of bonds. Income from water sales and from nonoperating sources is devoted to operation and maintenance expenses. Water delivered to stockholders is charged for on a sliding scale, depending upon the time of year in which delivered and upon the source from which the water is being obtained. In 1929, these rates varied from 10 to 20 cents per 24-hour inch, with an average of 18.7 cents for the year. The highest rate applied to water pumped during the period May to August, inclusive. Plate VIII also compares the sum of the annual water charge per acre for the average amount used and the annual assessment with the several items of operation and maintenance expenditures, together with rainfall records, information on the dutv of water made available bv the company and the area irrigated by its service. The cost of pump- ing is shown to be the dominant factor in determining the annual cost. The item of "Distribution" includes booster expense to 1928; during that year this operation was discontinued. The costs of repairs at the gravity source, pumping plants, and distribution lines are not segregated from the operation expenses. These figures shown in Plate VIII represent actual expenditures and do not include depre- ciation. 64 DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES CQ < > l-H U z I Z < O u u H < < H D u > 3 b: u Q -] O ::£ O O H cfl O H DS u H < Z o H < O b O H O U < z z < oo o t^ =: o --co t^ 'T*' o — cr; o w» tOM coo coo Ot^ OOlO 00 lO ^040 r^ c^4 o r^ GC -^ « 35 i>-o oo iC d t^ -H -^J* 03 ^-»f5 ^ (M — C5 tW -^ 'rf 31 *-H oo CC •^oo -to CS I^C'l CM I^- ooo CM OQOOC 0& e^T-H CS l>- e^ cc ^ _^ X O'-SO r^Tj" o o o « t^ '*— « -fji — cc o r--— ' lO W3 CO CO CO CM OOC2 ■win — oo 00 -w C<5 0S to-«< --. t^ t^cc no ■^ lO t- CM »— < CO CM C^ ^H ^ CS* «^ b- CO -^^ CO a£ C U 'JQ U. 3 t."

Plate IX shows the monthly rainfall at Riverside, Santa Ana, Los Angeles, and Upland for the years 1917 to 1929, inclusive. This is presented in order to bring" out more clearly the influence of the rainfall upon the underground water table, and therefore upon the required amount and cost of pumping supplemental water supplies in southern California, years of heavy rainfall being years of low pumping costs as indicated on Plates I to VIII. The cost of pumping stands out as the saJient factor affecting the trends of cost under these companies during the past decade. Cost of Production of Oranges, Orange County. Tables 21 and 22 are presented to show the comparison between cost of irrigation water and total production cost on oranges. These tables, in which average labor and material costs in Orange County orange production are presented for the four years ending with 1929, are taken directly from the mimeograplied ''Summary of Cost of Produc- tion Study on Oranges, Orange County, 1929," compiled by the Agricultural Extension Service, University of California, cooperating with the Citrus Growers Department, Orange County Farm Bureau, under the direction of Harold E. Wahlberg, Farm Advisor of Orange County. The introduction to the "Summary" states: "The average total referred to in the various tables is obtained by dividing the total costs of each group by the total acreage of that group. It does not represent the actual sum of the column."

In central California the conditions are more \ai-ie(l than in nofthci-ii Califoi-nia. Some companies receive only very short runs of water durinjr the peak of the flood flow \n tlie spriim' and early summer, the stockholders depending' upon pumpinir fi"om private wells for most of their supj^ly. A number of th(> companies in central California with inadequate water supplies were omitted from the study. Central California. The First and Second Edison Well companies are the farthes-t south of the systems considered. These two companies Avere or<;anized in 1009 to furnish water to a subdivision of land about six miles east of Bakersfield. The water supjily is obtained from deep wells. Due to the recession of the water table and (piality of water obtained from some of the more shallow Avells. it has been necessary to drill some new and deeper wells, three of which range from 987 to 1336 feet in de])th. The ])nmpinarable with some of the other inimi)ing installations in the foothill citrus belt of San .Toa(|uin \'alley. Kaweah River Companies. — The mutual Avater comjianies diverting from the KaAveah River are entirely different in character. In these companies a share of stock is not a]ii)urtenant to the laiul and does not represent any definite area, but only a pro rata share of the Avater available. The Avater is diverted according to a schedule Avhich recog- nizes priority of rights. Water is available to most of the companies oidy during the spring and early summer. Tiie letters indicating the chaiaeter of water supply in Table 2)^, column 6, refer more particularly to length of time Avater is available than to amount of Avater received. The Avater supply in practically every case is supplemented by ])ump- ing from ])i"ivate Avells. Before pumping became a common ]n'actice, a high Avater table existed over a large ])art of the delta and in many places very fcAv or no surface a|)plications Avere made. This resulted in the selling of all oi- part of their stock in the ditch comjianies by many of the stockholders. The series of years of low run-off during the last decade has resulted in a considerable loAvering of the Avater level and an increased draft on the ground Avater supply. Available • This discussion was prepared by J. E. Christiansen, junior irrigation engineer, University of California Agricultural Experiment Station. 78 DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES data on the extent of private pumping on areas served by the mutual water companies show increases between the years 1924 and 1928 of 106 per cent in the number of electric-driven plants and of 140 per cent in the amount of poM-er used. The annual power cost in 1928 was more than $100,000 for these plants. This lowering of the Avater table has resulted in an increased use of water, where it is available, and also in a much greater seepage loss from tlie ditches- and creeks used to distribute the water. This condition is illustrated by the experience of the Elk Bayou Ditch Company, which receives water from the Consolidated Peoples Ditch Company through Outside Creek. Formerly this creek was a flowing stream at its lower end throughout the entire year, regardless of whether or not water was entering its head. During the irrigation seasons of 1928 and 1929 the Elk Bayou Ditch Company received practically no water, although a considerable amount was turned in at the head of the creek, most of it being lost by seepage. With the exception of the Consolidated Peoples Ditch Company, the mutual water companies diverting from Kaweah River deliver water directly to the individual stockliolders. The Consolidated Peoples Ditch Company delivers only to the head of six independent laterals, two of which again distribute water to a group of sublaterals. Many of these laterals and sublaterals are organized into mutual water com- panies, only two of which own stock in the Consolidated Peoples Ditch Company. In all of the other cases the stock is owned directly by the individual served. The cost data given in Tables 23 and 24 do not include the costs of operating any of the independent lateral companies. Kings Eire)- Companies. — The three companies diverting water from Kings River are similar in many respects to the Consolidated Peoples Ditch Company. They do not deliver water directly to all of the stock- holders. Six independent mutual water companies and the Corcoran Irrigation District distribute Avater from the Peoples Ditch. Only two of these companies, the Settlers Ditch Company and Melga Canal Com- ])any, own stock in the Peoples Ditch Company. Some of the stock in the Settlers Ditch Company is owned in turn by the ]Melga Canal Company, the Corcoran Irrigation District, and users on other laterals. Holders of about 30 shares of stock in the Peoples Ditch Com]>any obtain water directly from the main canal or from branches of the Peoples Ditch system. There are seven independent mutual water companies distributing water from the Last Chance Ditch. None of these companies own stock in the Last Chance AVater Ditch Company, all of the stock being owned directly by the water users served. The parent company delivers water directly from its main canal to owners of about twelve shares of stock. The Lemoore Canal and Irrigation Company distributes water directly to the owners of nearly one-half of its stock. Some of the stock is owned by a contract company serving a gross area of 9668 acres, and by the Jacob Rancho Water Comi)any, Avhich serves about 11.000 acres. One large ranch comjiany owns about 23 per cent of the stock and operates its own distributing system.

The lower rate of fuel consumption for each type of rmr.ne. has 106 DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES been called "Good performance" and the higher rate of consumption "Fair performance" after these respective rates of fuel consumption have been divided by a transmission efficiency of 95 per cent. The last six columns of Table 30 show the cost of electric energy supplied to motors at the selected prices of from 0.8 cent to 3 cents per kilowatt hour when such energy, less motor losses, is delivered directly to pumps having particular efficiencies of from 30 to 80 per cent. Costs of energy used, either electrical or in fuels, are given in cents for each acre-foot of water lifted against one foot of pumping head. The work done in lifting one acre-foot of water against one foot of pumping head is equal to slightly over 1.02 kilowatt hours, or its equivalent, 1.37 plus, horsepower-hours. It is apparent that, if fuels are delivered for prices given in Table 30, columns 2 to 7, inclusive, to engines which consume such fuels at the indicated rates per brake-horsepower-hour, delivered to the pump shaft, the total cost of fuel will be the same as the total cost of electrical energy when equivalent amounts of work are done. The following example shows how the unit prices set forth in Table 30 may be used. Let it be assumed that a total amount of 500 acre-feet is to be lifted against a pumping head of 50 feet by means of a pump having an efficiency of 60 per cent. Electric energy in the amount required may be purchased for 1.4 cents per kilowatt hour delivered to an electric motor directly connected to the pump. Then from column 11, on line with selected price of 1.4 cents per kilowatt hour, a cost of 2.65 cents is indicated if one acre-foot is lifted against one foot of pumping head. Since 500 acre-feet is to lifted 50 feet, the total cost in dollars of electric energy is obtained as follows : 500 (acre-feet) X 50 (feet) X 2.65 (cents) 100 (cents) x 1 (acre-foot) x 1 (foot) or approximately $662. If fuel costs. 18. 4 cents per gallon delivered to a Diesel engine con- suming 0.06 gallon per brake-horsepower-hour delivered to the engine pulley, the total cost of fuel oil used also will amount to the same sum, approximately, as shown by the following operation : 500 (acre-feet) x 50 (feet) 18.4 (cents) .06 (gallon) 1.371 (Bhp-hr.) \/ \/ X 0.60 (pump efficiency) (gallons) X (Bhp-hr.) x 95 1 (acre-foot) X 100 (cents) (belt efficiency) 1 (foot) or approximately $664.

Cost of hauling to pumping plant and storage charge should be added. Natural gas is delivered by public utility companies to meter loca- tions near the points of consumption. Table 32 gives a typical schedule of rates for natural gas furnished in southern California by one of these companies. A lower rate for natural gas sold by another com- pany for use in internal combustion engines in the upper San Joaquin Valley was approved in 1930 by the State Railroad Commission.- Sometimes the owners of farm pumping plants must pay a part of the cost of a lateral pipe line, and such cost must be added to the charge for natural gas delivered at the public utility company's meter location.

Operation and Maintenance — Bepairs. — Accurate records of the annual costs of repairing farm pumping plants, including the cost of parts replaced, extending over a term of years, are limited in number. Consequently, it is necessary to use estimates based upon rather lim- ited data and the judgment of experienced operators. Data accumu- lated in 1930 in the upper San Joaquin Valley suggest the following estimates of annual allowances for repairs on deep-well turbines driven by directly connected electric motors as ample when capacities range from 450 to 900 gallons per minute.* Rated capacity of electric motor driving pump, horsepoicei' 5 and 7.5 10 15 20 25 30 40 50 60 75 100 Estimated annual alloicance for repairs $45 50 55 60 65 75 90 110 130 150 180 Annual repairs on internal combustion engines range from 2 to as high as 10 per cent of first cost, depending upon the size of engine, type, and character of attendance. Repairs on full Diesel and natural gas engines exceeding approximately 30 horsepower in size usually range from 2 to 5 per cent of first cost. * Deep-well turbines operating in certain parts of Tulare Lake Basin are excepted because of gas, salts, and weak acid in water pumped from wells. In some localities in California it is difficult to prevent fine sand in water-bearing materials from enter- ing deep-well pumps. Such material may cause sufficient wear to make necessary an additional allowance for repairs to pumps when capacities range from 4d0 to 900 gallons per minute. rOST (IF lUKKiATIO.V WATKU l\ r.\l.i|(.|;M\ 1)1 >- A/^/;//(V//»V;/j.— Coiisuiiiption of lul)rieant.s by <'l.'ctricnlly driven t|.'i.| well turhiiu's usually lauirt's fmni .")() to 100 Imur's i>«>r jralloji.

A glance at Table 34 discloses that, in general, the higher costs of pumped water per acre irrigated results from the use of large pumping plants to irrigate small areas, excepting, of course, farm pumping plants used to supply water for irrigating citrus orchards in the foothills of the upper San Joaquin Valley, where onlj" small flows with high lifts are obtained. Farm storage reservoirs, usually with earth embanlvments, are some- times used to increase the operation period. Again, two or more farmers may cooperate in using a single plant if their respective farms do not require sufficient irrigation water to warrant a pumping plant for each, and farm systems may be so constructed that irrigation can be done at night without too much labor. Table 30, columns 8 to 13 inclusive, shows the effect of variations in pump efficiency upon the cost of electric energy or fuels, and the four diagrams of electric energy rates presented in Plate X show the extent to which an increase of annual operation time will decrease the average cost of electric energy per kilowatt hour. In actual practice, variations in the depth of water applied to various crops on various soil types by irrigators of varied skill are factors influencing the cost of water per acre irrigated when such water is supplied by farm irrigation pumping plants. Consequently, the value of even a large amount of carefully acquired data regarding actual costs of pumping for the irrigation of many separate farms is limited. This practical consideration makes it necessary to resort to the methods used in order to give useful data regarding the cost of water supplied by farm pumping plants to irrigators. I I APPENDIX A COST OF IRRIGATION WATER IN CALIFORNIA 121 APPENDIX A The tables which follow are reprinted from Bulletin No. 8, "Cost of Water to Irrigators in California," by Harry F. Blaney, Irrigation Engineer, Division of Agricultural Engineering, U. S. Department of Agriculture. That bulletin was published by the former Division of Engineering and Irrigation, State Department of Public "Works. Since a small number of copies only were issued, it has been out of print for five years. The report was based on data gathered under cooperative agreement between the Division of Agricultural Engineer- ing, Bureau of Public Roads, U. S. Department of Agriculture, the Department of Public Works of the State of California, and the Uni- versity of California Agricultural Experimental Station. 12J ours (majority) ours (alfalfa) lOurs rs (beans and orchardj «r 24 hours (alfalfa) jForty-six miner's inches=l second-foot. ^Acreage unknown 123 TABLE 35 COST OF WATER FOR IRRIGATION IN CALIFORNIA , central and southern California. 1922 S, "Cost of Water to Irrigators in California."
