Water Resources | 56Pleasanton Climate Action Plan 2.0 <br />Strategy WR-1. Improve water supply & <br />increase conservation <br />Existing Ongoing Actions <br />E14. Controller assistant program <br />Emissions reduction City Cost N/A <br />Co-benefits Community Cost N/A <br />The City will continue to provide the controller assistance program to <br />Pleasanton residents.

Smart water meter installation <br />Emissions reduction City Cost N/A <br />Co-benefits Community Cost N/A <br />To protect against current and future water waste that could put both <br />ecosystems and public health at risk, the City will continue to monitor <br />and provide outreach to the community regarding their water leaks <br />based on their smart water meter data. <br />E16. Water Conservation Program <br />Emissions reduction City Cost N/A <br />Co-benefits Community Cost N/A <br />The City will continue to promote its Water Conservation Program <br />which provides water use related rebates, workshops, and outreach to <br />the community. <br />Primary Actions <br />P15. Water efficiency and retrofits <br />Emissions reduction City Cost $1.6M <br />Co-benefits Community Cost ($4.6M) <br />The City will expand incentives to reduce water use. Incentives may <br />include, but are not limited to: <br />• Partner regionally with Zone 7 Water Agency to expand incentives <br />and direct install programs to retrofit inefficient water fixtures in <br />existing properties. <br />• Enhance existing incentives and rebates for native and drought- <br />tolerant residential and commercial landscaping. <br />• Introduce a grass lawn/turf replacement program incentivizing the <br />use of compost and mulch to smother turf in place through sheet <br />mulching. This eliminates the need to send turf to landfill, avoids <br />herbicide use, and increases carbon sequestration which supports <br />Action E7 and P14. <br />Strategy WR-2.
