Water Resources | 54Pleasanton Climate Action Plan 2.0 <br />Water Resources <br />Improve stormwater resilience, <br />water supply, and conservation. <br />Water Resources in Pleasanton <br />Water-related emissions come primarily from providing drinking <br />water and treating wastewater. Water uncertainty and increased <br />flooding are among Pleasanton’s major climate vulnerabilities. <br />• Pleasanton’s smallest source of inventoried emissions <br />• Less than 1% of community emissions in 2017 <br />Performance since 2012 <br />Since 2012, Pleasanton has taken the following steps to reduce GHG <br />emissions from the Water Resources sector. <br />• Installed over 20,000 new AMI smart water meters and retrofitted <br />500 existing meters. <br />• Installed “smart” irrigation systems throughout 80 acres of City- <br />owned land. <br />Water Resources Goal(s) <br />Reduce GHG emissions from water usage (including conveyance) and <br />prepare community water resources for a changing climate which will <br />result in cost savings, enhance water quality and availability, improve <br />infrastructure, and increase resiliency. <br />Key Performance Indicators (vs. 2017) <br />Success will be monitored in the Natural Systems sector by tracking <br />progress against the following key performance indicators: <br />• Maintain per-capita water consumption electricity usage to 23 <br />kWh per service person. <br />• Decrease water used by community <br />• Decrease municipal water used <br />• Increase community use of water conservation programs <br />By 2030, this sector will improve the <br />efficiency of water systems and build <br />resilience to water insecurity.
