2015 URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN <br />The Demand Management Measures (DMM) section provides a comprehensive description of the water <br />conservation programs that a supplier has implemented, is currently implementing, and plans to <br />implement in order to meet its urban water use reduction targets. The reporting requirements for DMM <br />were significantly modified and streamlined in 2014 by Assembly Bill 2067. For a retail agency such as <br />the City the requirements changed from having 14 specific measures to six more general requirements <br />plus an 'other" category. <br />The City Council adopted the Water Conservation and Supply Shortage Program Ordinance No. NS -2877 <br />on May 19, 2015. Ordinance No. NS -2877 establishes permanent water conservation requirements and <br />prohibition against waste that are effective at all times and is not dependent upon a water shortage for <br />implementation, as follows: <br />• No washing down hard or paved surfaces <br />• Limit on watering hours <br />• Re- circulating water required for water fountains and decorative water features <br />• Drinking water served upon request only <br />• Limits on washing vehicles <br />• Commercial lodging establishments must provide guests option to decline daily linen services <br />• Restaurants required to use water conserving dish wash spray valves <br />• Obligation to fix leaks, break, or malfunctions <br />No installation of single pass cooling systems <br />• Commercial car wash systems <br />• No excessive water flow or runoff <br />• No installation of non - recirculating water systems in commercial car wash and laundry systems <br />• No watering during or within 48 hours of measurable rainfall <br />• No irrigation of ornamental turf on public street medians with potable water <br />• Limit on irrigation with potable water of landscapes outside of new construction <br />In an event of a water supply shortage, the ordinance further establishes three levels of water supply <br />shortage response actions to be implemented during times of declared water shortage or declared water <br />shortage emergency, with increasing restrictions on water use in response to worsening drought or <br />emergency conditions and decreasing supplies. The provisions and water conservation measures to be <br />implemented in response to each shortage level are described in Section 5 of the UWMP. The City's <br />Water Conservation and Supply Shortage Program Ordinance is included in Appendix D. <br />arcadis.corri <br />B9t 4 -1 <br />
