On March 2nd, the State Water Project released its most recent allocation for 2015 <br />supplies at 20% of normal. Zone 7 has requested 80,619 acre /ft for the Tri- Valley. The <br />allocation now stands at 16,124 acre /ft for 2015 or 20% of the requested amount. <br />City's Local Emergency Meets Compliance for Mandatory Reductions. With the drought <br />entering its fourth year, concems about the community's health, safety and welfare <br />require the continuation of the City's local drought emergency. <br />Pleasanton's Stage 3 mandatory 25% reduction meets the broad requirements of the <br />Governor's April 1, 2015 Executive Order. That order directs the State Water <br />Resources Control Board (Water Board) to: (a) "...consider the relative per capita water <br />usage of each water suppliers' service area, and require that those areas with high per <br />capita use achieve proportionately greater reductions than those with low use. "; and (b) <br />"...direct urban water suppliers to develop rate structures and other pricing mechanisms, <br />including but not limited to surcharges, fees and penalties, to maximize water <br />conservation..." The Water Board did adopt such per capita restrictions, and the current <br />City stage 3 drought emergency meets the required 24% reduction adopted on May 5, <br />2015. <br />Sub <br />Daniel Sm" h <br />Director o Operations <br />Services <br />Attachments: <br />1.
