Public Hearing — Consider adoption of an urgency ordinance declaring a Local Drought Emergency; and adopt a resolution declaring a Stage 2 water shortage and mandate a 15 percent reduction in water usage Managing Director of Utilities and Environmental Services Daniel Repp reported this drought is the second year in a row leaving Lake Oroville at just 22% of its capacity which is Zone 7 Water Agency's major supply source. On July 8, Governor Newsom expanded the drought emergency proclamation requesting the State reduce its water usage by 15%, with Zone 7 and other area retailers doing the same shortly thereafter. Zone 7 declared a state of drought emergency on September 1 and a Stage 2 water shortage after the conservation was not happening at an adequate rate. He explained the City gets 20% of its water from groundwater through City wells with the other 80% coming from Zone 7 which gets 80% of its water from the State. The local groundwater supply is in good shape with 90% of the volume currently available. The surface water supply from State reservoirs is very low statewide driving the need for an urgent response. Zone 7 projects to have 48,400 acre-feet of water to meet a demand for only 39,000 acre-feet, assuming the 15% conservation target, which is enough to make it through the year. Managing Director Repp displayed a graph of water use trends since 2010 including projections through 2026 and noted it shows room for additional water conservation. A monthly comparison chart from 2020 and 2021 reflects very little conservation since the 15% reduction was first requested in June, reflecting conservation of only 8%. The request for mandatory conservation of 15% will allow the City to be solvent in its water system for future years. City Council Minutes Page 3 of 12 October 5, 2021
