Water Shortage Contingency Plan <br />THE CITY OF <br />PLEASANTON. <br />4.0 SHORTAGE RESPONSE ACTIONS AND EFFECTIVENESS <br />The City will track progress toward water use reduction goals through a comparative analysis of total <br />monthly water production volumes. The analysis will compare the drought month production with the <br />previous non -drought month production to obtain a percent reduction. The City will increase or decrease <br />its public outreach efforts based on observed usage reduction. The shortage response actions discussed <br />below may be considered as tools that allow the City to respond to water shortage conditions. The City <br />will adjust response actions to demands and available water supply. <br />4.1 Demand Reduction <br />The City may request that its customers reduce their water demands in response to any water shortage <br />stage through PMC §9.30.80. During water shortage conditions, the City plans to reduce demand by <br />implementing the actions shown in Table 4. Demand reduction actions are organized by the triggering water <br />shortage stage, and each action includes an estimate of how much its implementation will reduce the <br />shortage gap. For each demand reduction action, Table 4 also indicates if the City uses compliance actions <br />such as penalties, charges, or other enforcement. Demand reduction actions are only listed in Table 4 in the <br />stage when they are first implemented. The City will continue to use these actions in higher stages unless <br />otherwise noted. <br />7 City of Pleasanton <br />N-e80-60-20-04-wP-R-e80-2020uwMP Last Revised: 05-05-21 <br />
