Livermore Ave. Dublin, CA 94568 Livermore, CA 94550 Daniel Smith, Director of Operation Services Frank Vallejo, District Manager City of Pleasanton California Water Service Co. 3333 Busch Road 195 S N Street Pleasanton, CA 94566 Livermore, CA 94550 Subject: 25% Water Shortage—Stage 2 Actions Zone 7's Board of Directors received the Annual Review of Sustainable Water Supply at this evening's Regular Board Meeting. Due to the unprecedented and extreme drought conditions, the Zone 7 Board declared a local state of drought emergency on January 29, 2014. On January 31, 2014, the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) reduced the State Water Project's 2014 Table A allocation to 0% for the first time in the history of the Project. This evening, taking these changed conditions into consideration, the Zone 7 Board directed staff and the retailers to achieve the necessary 25% conservation following Zone 7's Stage 2 Action Plan (attached). Note that, based on conditions that have changed since December 2013, this letter supersedes any previous letter sent by Zone 7 related to water availability in 2014. Under Water Service Provision 5(c) of Zone 7's Contracts and"Terms and Conditions," Zone 7 hereby notifies each of you that Zone 7 is unable to provide 25% of your projected demands for Calendar Year 2014 and will only be able to provide 75% of the treated water necessary to satisfy your requirements this year. The attached Action Plan is an outline of minimum actions required to reduce demands by 25%. If additional actions are needed in your individual service areas to assure a 25% demand reduction, it is imperative that you implement such program actions as soon as possible. In addition, Provision 5(c) permits retailers to seek alternative supplies such as those available to you through emergency inter-ties or through accelerated recycled water projects and Zone 7 strongly urges you to do so. Zone 7 staff are preparing updated tables for each retailer, outlining projected deliveries by turnout based on providing 75% of your requested deliveries and a focus on reduced outdoor water use. It is important to note that with this year's reduced supplies, if more water is taken earlier in the year, less will be available later. We hope to distribute the updated tables by the end of this month. If you need any additional information or have any questions, you can reach me at 925 454-5016
