The Water Conservation Bill or SBX7-7 requires certain sized agencies to complete a UWMP, and Mr. Smith stated that a six-month extension was given due to new requirements in the State's water conservation law. He said the City and Zone 7 have very little control over what water sources it has or whether it will have enough for future demand and DWR determines who gets what. However, the plan provides good planning tools to anticipate what the City will face. Mr. Smith provided an overview of what the plan, which includes water deliveries and uses, available water supply sources, demand management measures, baseline compliance and daily per capita water use, a water use reduction plan to meet a 20% reduction target by 2020, which is based on population and gallons per capita per day. Councilmember Sullivan stated that the City is using an average of 96 acre feet in 2005 based on the population at that time, and he confirmed this includes residential, commercial and industrial. Mr. Smith explained that as the City expands and develops more, whatever extra water is used goes into a gallon per capita per day and the city must make that up, so it works against the City. He said this will be a challenge moving forward and the restriction will most likely go above 20%. Vice Mayor Cook-Kallio questioned if averaging is used, given heavy rainfall in a year. Mr. Smith said no; this is how much water is delivered by DWR. Last year the City only received 50% of its request through Zone 7 through DWR because of the drought, and this was made up by ground water. The year before, the City only received 40% of its allotment it asked for, so ground water was used to make this up. This year, they are over normal rainfall and will only receive 80% of its allocation for this year. Mr. Smith discussed the City's efforts in water conservation, noting they are now converting turf in parks and medians. There is new software that provides monitoring for leaks and meter failures. The City has new conservation programs in partnership with Zone 7, such as commercial and residential spray irrigation conversions to drip, and the City's Recycled Water Program. The City has increased its Water Conservation Program by $50,000 which went toward enhancing its internal program with an emphasis on public outreach. Regarding financial implications of SBX7-7, the City should not put a disproportionate burden on the customer base and this is one of the requirements of the plan. Lastly, there are 14 demand management measures contained in the program and required to do, some in conjunction with Zone 7. Mr. Smith said in terms of what the City is doing in terms of regional conversion programs to help residents, some include the Single Family Residential Water Survey Program helps residents, the Controller Assistance Program, Commercial Irrigation Rebate Program, Large Landscape Audit through Zone 7, washing machine rebates, the Schools Program, Regional Urinal Retrofit programs, and high efficiency toilet rebates. In conclusion, Mr. Smith noted that the City notified agencies of the plan, posted official press releases, posted the Draft UWMP on the City's website, advertised and held a workshop, and staff recommends the Council adopt the 2010 UWMP and once this occurs, staff will submit it to the DWR who certify and accept it. This makes the City available for state and federal funding and they will be officially in the Department of Water Resources' allocation. Vice Mayor Cook-Kallio noted there were no speakers. Councilmember Sullivan referred to landscape controllers and asked what tools the City has to understand this. Mr. Smith described the City's ability to conduct surveys and provide the City Council Minutes Page 8 of 9 June 21, 2011
