2015 URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN <br />7.1 Water Management Tools <br />Resource optimization such as desalination and IPR minimize the City's and region's reliance on imported <br />water. Optimization efforts are typically led by regional agencies in collaboration with local /retail agencies. <br />7.2 Transfer or Exchange Opportunities <br />Interconnections with other agencies result in the ability to share water supplies during short term <br />emergency situations or planned shutdowns of major imported systems. The City maintains seven <br />connections to Metropolitan's system and nine emergency connections with surrounding agencies. These <br />connections can provide a total supply of 60,580 gpm into the City's distribution system. The Metropolitan <br />connections are typically operating as constant flow sources. <br />The City relies on its wholesalers, Metropolitan and OCWD, to be the responsible parties for negotiating <br />water transfers and exchanges. Currently, there are no transfer or exchange opportunities. <br />7.3 Planned Water Supply Projects and Programs <br />The City continually reviews practices that will provide its customers with adequate and reliable supplies. <br />Trained staff ensures the water is safe and the supply will meet present and future needs in an <br />environmentally and economically responsible manner. The City coordinates its long -term and water <br />shortage planning with Metropolitan and OCWD. <br />Water use efficiency measures described in Section 4 and use of recycled water described in Section 6 <br />have the potential to reduce overall demand. Any new water sources developed will primarily be to better <br />manage the groundwater basin and replace or upgrade inefficient wells, rather than support population <br />growth and new development. <br />The City's Fiscal Year 2015/2016 Capital Improvement Program identifies planned design and <br />construction projects as described below. <br />Advanced Meter Infrastructure — replace existing aging meters with new, more accurate meters and <br />incorporate technological advances in metering technology that allows City personnel and customers to <br />access real time water consumption data preventing future O &M involved with manual meter readings. <br />7.4 Desalination Opportunities <br />In 2001, Metropolitan developed a Seawater Desalination Program (SDP) to provide incentives for <br />developing new seawater desalination projects in Metropolitan's service area. In 2014, Metropolitan <br />modified the provisions of their Local Resources Program (LRP) to include incentives for locally produced <br />seawater desalination projects that reduce the need for imported supplies. To qualify for the incentive, <br />proposed projects must replace an existing demand or prevent new demand on Metropolitan's imported <br />water supplies. In return, Metropolitan offers two incentive formulas under the program: <br />arcadis.cam 75E-84 7.1 <br />
