2015 URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
<br />The following measures can be implemented by the City to overcome each reduction in water sales
<br />scenario outlined above depending on anticipated short -term and long -term financial impacts.
<br />• The City can draw needed funds from its emergency operation and maintenance fund, which are kept
<br />in reserve to provide adequate revenue to allow the water system to function for up to 120 days of
<br />normal operations.
<br />• The City can defer non - mission critical capital improvement projects and reallocate the funds to cover
<br />the cost of operations and critical maintenance.
<br />• The City Manager can recommend the City Council to declare a water shortage and implement the
<br />City's Water Shortage Contingency Plan. Depending on the severity of the shortage and impact on
<br />revenue, the City Council may increase water rates, other than Tier 1 Lifeline rates, by an amount
<br />necessary as determined by the City Council. The subsequent rate increases enacted will remain in
<br />effect until such time the City Council declares a water shortage no longer exists.
