conditions recommended by ORA, we find that these are not necessary. We also note that the Commission has a policy of refraining from micromanaging specific activities of utilities and we do so here. With respect to the two projects being disputed, Golden State presented other benefits that the SCADA installation will provide other than addressing flow violations. We find that these benefits are sufficient to support the installation of SCADA in these areas. Thus, we find that the amounts requested to install SCADA systems in Placentia and Yorba Linda are reasonable and should be approved. Foothill District Office Golden State is requesting $140,900 in 2016 to purchase two portable booster pumps. ORA opposes the request stating that Golden State can continue to rent pumps when needed. Discussion Golden State and ORA cited instances when Golden State had rented booster pumps used in emergency situations. The examples cited show that it took approximately eight hours to rent the pumps and put them in operation. Based on this fact, we find the request to be reasonable and should be approved. Having its own booster pumps will enable Golden State to timely respond to emergency situations especially when time is of the essence. Claremont CSA The disputed Claremont capital projects are the following: (a) $288,200 in 2015 and $1,680,400 in 2016 to install a new Pomello Well; (b) $272,100 in 2015 and $1,629,300 in 2017 to add an arsenic treatment system at the Del Monte Well;
