Water Shortage Contingency Plan 4.4 Operational Changes THE CITY OF PLEASANTON. The City can make several operational changes to address a short-term water shortage, including more closely tracking customer water usage via the City's developing meter management program, which may result in increasing water waste response, and the potential decrease of line flushing upon case-by-case evaluation, resulting in no potential compromise to water quality. These operational changes will further water loss reduction efforts during a shortage and are included in Table 4, as they either directly or indirectly reduce demands. For a specific emergency event, the City can adjust water operations staff schedules such that rotating shifts cover the duration of the emergency. For more local water shortages, the City can activate emergency interties with DSRSD and Livermore. 4.5 Emergency Response Plan As stated in Section 3.0, the City's water shortage stages outlined in Table 3 apply to both foreseeable and unforeseeable water supply shortage conditions. The latter includes catastrophic water shortage conditions, which are addressed in the City's Water Emergency Response Plan (Water ERP). The Water ERP outlines preparation, response, and recovery procedures associated with unforeseeable incidents such as water supply contamination, earthquake, infrastructure failure, and other events. The ERP is currently being revised to incorporate requirements of the 2018 American Water Infrastructure Act and will be submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on or before July 1, 2021. The City's Water ERP specifies that the City Council, the Director of Emergency Services (City Manager), or the Director of Operations Services has the authority to proclaim a Local Water Emergency. In a water emergency, the City would activate a Water Emergency Operations Center (WEOC), with partial or full staffing dependent on the magnitude of the event. WEOC and other emergency support staff and departments would typically work under the direction of the Director of Emergency Services (i.e., the City Manager). As defined in the City's Water Management Plan, if there were a major failure of supply, storage or facility distribution, a declaration of mandatory water use restrictions would be necessary in designated affected areas (expected reduction would vary in response to the specific situation). The City will also follow the lead of Zone 7, or the State of California, during a major catastrophe or drought period. When Zone 7 announces a curtailment in water deliveries, the City will assess the impact on the City supplies and determine its water shortage level. The City will monitor the situation closely, both from a supply and demand perspective, and carefully select the appropriate shortage response actions to close the gap between anticipated supplies and. The City will move from one stage to the next if the situation worsens and reduce restrictions when it subsides. To provide supplies during an emergency, the City has two interties with DSRSD and one intertie with Livermore. Per agreements with DSRSD and Livermore made in 1996 and 2011, respectively, the City can receive from each agency a reasonable quantity of water required during the emergency. The City has mutual aid agreements with the San Francisco Water Division (SFWD), Livermore, DSRSD, and Zone 7. The City also participates in the Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network (WARN), a statewide public utility mutual assistance organization. After exhausting its own resources, the City can call on these neighboring agencies for aid. 11 City of Pleasanton N-e80-60-20-04-wP-R-e80-2020uwMP Last Revised: 05-05-21
