THE CITY OF _ 1 ® -� CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT L. AAS1TbSL - May 16, 2017 Operations Services Department TITLE: AFFIRM THE RECLASSIFICATION OF WATER SUPPLY LEVEL TO ADEQUATE SUPPLY UNDER THE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN WITHIN MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 9.30 SUMMARY Following an abundant year of precipitation and impressive statewide water conservation efforts, on April 7, 2017, Governor Brown issued Executive Order B-40-17 (EO B-40-17) terminating the Drought State of Emergency in most of California. In recognition of California's vulnerability to future drought, EO B-40-17 also reaffirmed the Governor's previous drought-related executive order declaring permanent restrictions on wasteful uses of water and the development of a plan for"Making Water Conservation a California Way of Life" (EO B-37-16 issued on May 9, 2016). In response to the Governor's recent action and review of local water supply conditions in partnership with the Tri-Valley Water Agencies, staff recommends the reclassification of the local water supply level to "adequate" under the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC) Chapter 9.30 Water Management Plan. In accordance with EO B-40-17 reaffirming permanent restrictions on wasteful water use, the adequate supply level maintains water conservation measures that target the elimination of wasteful water uses. Examples include: prohibiting the use of potable water to hose off hardscapes, irrigating in a manner that causes runoff or irrigating within 48 hours of measurable rainfall, and allowing leaks to go unrepaired after eight hours of notification. This report provides an update on the overall water supply conditions, State efforts in making water conservation a California way of life, and recommended actions. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council: 1) Affirm the City Manager's reclassification of the water supply level from a Stage 1 level of water shortage to Adequate Supply with its corresponding conservation measures. FINANCIAL STATEMENT No financial implications.
