BACKGROUND In May 2014, City Council declared a local Drought Emergency and Stage 3 water shortage, mandating a 25% reduction in water use compared to 2013 use. These actions emanated from the historically low Department of Water Resources (DWR) State Water Project (SWP)water delivery allocation of 5% (which was only available after September of 2014), and the Governor's Drought State of Emergency declaration on January 17, 2014. Pleasanton water customers exceeded the 25% reduction mandate by achieving a 27.8% water savings in 2014, and 37.7% savings in 2015. Enough precipitation fell during the subsequent winter and spring that the DWR water allocation for 2016 increased to 60%. As a result of reduced threat over water supply uncertainty, on June 7, 2016 City Council reduced the level of local water shortage to a Stage 1 water shortage with a voluntary water conservation level of 10% and corresponding Stage 1 water conservation measures. Then on August 16, 2016, City Council approved the termination of the local drought emergency. Pleasanton water customers continued to participate in conserving water and achieved a 34% savings in 2016 compared to 2013 use. DISCUSSION The 2016/2017 winter and spring months produced impressive precipitation and snowpack totals resulting jn the need to reclassify the local water supply level to "adequate" under the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC) Chapter 9.30 Water Management Plan. The current conditions are indicated below that support adequate water supply levels for the remainder of the year and quite possibly into 2018. State Snowpack Conditions As of April 2017, the California mountain snowpack is 164% of the seasonal average. State Reservoir Conditions As of April 11, 2017, statewide water storage was at 60% of available capacity and 84% of their historical average of for this time of year. Lake Oroville in Butte County, principal reservoir supplying water to the Tri-Valley area, is at 101% of its historical average. DWR Water Allocation for 2016 The water delivery allocation from DWR to the Tri-Valley through Zone 7 was recently announced at 85%. This allocation level represents one of the highest levels announced by DWR since before this most recent drought began in 2012. State Drought Regulations Through Executive Order B-40-17, the Drought State of Emergency has ended, with the exception of four counties still experiencing drought conditions in California. In addition, orders and provisions within prior drought-related executive orders requiring a statewide water reduction of 25% compared to 2013 have been rescinded. While the declared drought emergency for the state has been mostly lifted, State regulations requiring the submission of monthly water use monitoring by urban water agencies, and prohibitions against wasteful water practices remain in effect.
