Gonzalez, Sr. Management Analyst Mtr DATE: January 9, 1996 SUBJECT: Proposed Resolution Adopting the City of Po way's 1995 Urban Water Management Plan BACKGROUND The Urban Water Management Planning Act of 1984, and subsequent amendments, mandates that every supplier providing water for municipal purposes to more than 3,000 customers or supplying more than 3,000 acre-feet of water annually, prepare an Urban Water Management Plan which shall be reviewed and updated at least once every five years. In 1985, the San Diego County Water Authority prepared and submitted an Urban Water Management Plan on behalf of its member agencies, including the City of Poway. In early 1991 the City of Poway submitted a 1990 Urban Water Management Plan, and in 1992 prepared and submitted an Urban Water Shortage Contingency Plan which was a required amendment to the 1990 Plan. FINDINGS Since the City of Poway is an urban water supplier of water providing water service to over 12,600 customers and is required to file a plan, Staff has prepared the 1995 update to the City of Poway's Urban Water Management Plan. The 1995 Urban Water Management Plan was written to comply with the Califomia Water Code which requires the review of water use trends and an analysis of projected water demand and supply. The Cod has been amended several times since 1991. New requirements make it necessary to incorporate the Water Shortage Contingency Component into the Plan, and address water recycling opportunities.

INTRODUCTION The California Urban Water Management Planning Act of 1983 (and subsequent amendments) requires urban water suppliers providing water for municipal purposes to more than 3,000 customers or supplying more than 3,000 acre-feet of water annually to prepare an Urban Water Management Plan every five years. lbis plan represents the City of Po way's 1995 update to its 1990 Urban Water Management Plan which was adopted January 15, 1991, by Resolution 91-008. The plan addresses measures for residential, commercial, governmental, and industrial water management. The scope of the planning measures presented in this docwnent is commensurate with the size of the utility and reflects the Community's individual characteristics. Since urban growth is closely tied with water supply, this docwnent shall be used as a planning tool for the City of Poway when evaluating future land use and development options. 2. CITY OF POWAY--BACKGROUND AND FACILITIES The City of Poway incorporated as a general law city on December I, 1980 by merging the Poway Municipal Water District and the Pomerado County Water District to establish a municipality. The City is governed by the Council-Manager organization. The Mayor and four Councilmembers are elected from the constituency to serve staggered four year terms. The Council appoints a City Manager to run the day to day municipal operations. - The former Poway Municipal Water District joined the San Diego County Water Authority (Authority) and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) in 1954 to acquire the right to purchase and distribute imported water throughout its service area. Poway is one of twenty-three (23) agencies which purchases water from the Authority. The San Diego County Water Authority is a wholesaler of imported water and purchases water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California which is transported through five Authority pipelines to member agency service connections. 2.1 Geography of Service Area The City of Po way is located approximately 20 miles north of downtown San Diego, and 125 miles south of Los Angeles, in the geographic center of the western half of San Diego County. It is bounded by Scripps Ranch to the south and by Rancho Penasquitos and Rancho Bernardo to the west, which are communities within the city of San Diego. It is bounded by the city ofEscondido to the north and the unincorporated community of Ramona to the east. Poway, which encompasses 39.2 square miles, is ten miles east of the Pacific Ocean and one mile east of Interstate 15, the major inland highway linking San Diego to Riverside, Los Angles and Orange Counties. On the east side of Po way are coastal foothills and Highway 67 which leads to east San Diego County. The elevation of Po way varies from 420 to 2,000 feet above sea level. The City of Po way has over 550 acres of dedicated public parkland, 21 of which are developed. The - majority of public parkland is included in the Lake Poway/Clyde E. Rexrode Wilderness Area, a I JAN 91996 ITEM 7 . ' 9 of 59 regional park that includes fishing, boating, playgrounds, picnic grounds and trails. There are approximately 2,500 acres ofland zoned as open space resource management (OSRM) that is permanently preserved in its natural state in the City of Poway. Poway's climate is typical of Southern California's coastal valleys. Poway enjoys relatively dry humidity and rnild temperature influenced by marine breezes. The annual average temperature is 72 degrees. On the average, annual rainfall in the City of Po way is 8 to 10 inches. In 1995, however, rainfall exceeded 28 inches due to heavy winter rain storms. The City of Poway's potential service area includes the entire incorporated City Limits. Approximately 51 percent of the City's service area is currently receiving water service. Homes to the extreme eastern and northern limits of the City use well-water for domestic purposes as the distribution system has not been developed to serve the area. 2.2 Profile of Service Area 2.2.1 Population The population of Po way increased from 43,516 to 46,132 from 1990 to 1995. Tbis is a net increase of 2,616 or 6 percent. Tbis is a slower rate of growth than that which was experienced during the previous 5 year period when the population grew 20 percent between 1985 and 1990. As it was projected in the 1990 Urban Water Management Plan, population growth has slowed due to a decline in residential and commercial development which has been influenced by the following factors: an economic downturn which began in 1990, the adoption of the City's General Plan in November, 1991 which reflects the City Council's desire to maintain Poway's "City in the Country" atmosphere by designating a large portion of the Community for rural residential use; and limited sewer discharge capacity. It is projected that Poway's population will remain fairly static and will continue to increase at a rate of approximately 1 percent per year until the City reaches buildout around the year 2015 with a population of approximately 55,000. 2.2.2 Housinl1 The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) Series 8 Regional Growth Forecast, Appendix A, provides population, housing and employment data for the period 1990-2015. Presently, the majority of housing units are single family. The forecasts, which are consistent with the City's land use policies project that a significant portion of Poway's future growth will result from low density single family residential development. At the same time, the number of persons per household is projected to decrease. With larger lot sizes and fewer occupants per household it is estimated that, overall, water consumption will not significantly change; a large portion of residential water use will be primarily for landscape irrigation, but the level of interior consumption 2 10 of 59 JAN 9 1996 ITEM 7 - - - for the smaller average size family is expected to decrease significantly since these are water uses that remain fairly constant despite household size, such as water used to operate household appliances. However, a recent water flow analysis conducted on 68 homes ranging in size from 4,000-6,000 square feet on large lots located in north Poway found that residents use an average of 160 gallons of water per household per day. This is lower than the average consumption of the Single Family account sector which is 200 gallons per household per day, and also lower than the average consumption of the Residential sector as a whole which is 170 gallons per household per day. 2 2.3 CommerciallIndustrial Development SANDAG's growth forecast predicts a significant increase in industrial/transportation, communications & utilities/wholesale development between the years 1990-2015. The ml\iority of this development is planned to take place in South Poway. Having anticipated an increase in future water demand resulting from this growth, the City has required the construction of dual water lines to serve both potable and future reclaimed water systems in the South Poway Planned Community Specific Plan. The potential use of reclaimed water to augment the City's water supply is discussed in Section 8.4.1. 2.3 Water Delivery Facilities All water delivered by the City is imported untreated (raw) water purchased from the Authority. - Water is stored in Lake Poway behind a 160 foot high earthen dam. The reservoir known as Lake Poway impounds up to 3,400 acre feet of water over 60 surface acres. Under severe times and stringent water use controls this reservoir can serve Poway customers essential water for nearly six months. Lake Poway, originally built by the Poway Municipal Water District in 1971, now serves the City of Poway as both a raw water storage reservoir and regional park and recreation facility. The Lake is maintained as close to capacity as possible throughout the year except that during summer months it is drawn down to allow purchases of up to 1,100 acre-feet of seasonal storage water from the Authority. The City operates a modern water treatment, transmission and storage system infrastructure with a design capacity of 24 million gallons per day (mgd) and a maximum treatment rate of 30 mgd. The City also provides the Ramona Water District with up to 4 mgd of treated water through an emergency use agreement with the San Diego County Water Authority. The water delivered to the City from the Authority has historically been a blend of 60 percent Colorado River Aqueduct Water and 40 percent State Project Water. This blending of water is of complementary value since it dilutes the high salt concentration of the former and high nutrient content of the latter. The mixed raw water quality is high lending the blended water to substantially surpass Federal and State standards once treated at the Lester J. Berglund Water Treatment Plant. 3 JAN 9 1996 ITEM 7 11 of 59 In 1991, the California Department of Health Services (CDHS), together with the City of Poway, performed a surface water treatment plant evaluation to assess the compliance of the 23 year old Berglund Water Treatment Plant with the recently promulgated Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR). CDHS determined that the plant's dual media filters complied with performance standards of the SWTR. However, CDHS also determined that the older Hardinge filters were considered alternate technology and thus did not meet the requirements of the SWTR. As such, in a letter dated September 26, 1991, the Department of Health Service notified the City of Poway that it must submit a detailed plan and schedule to replace the Hardinge filters. The City began design for major upgrades to the filtration plant in 1993 and awarded contracts for an $8.5 million capital improvement project in 1995 to upgrade the 23 year old Lester 1. Berglund Water Treatment Plant. The finished upgrade will comply with the requirements of the Surface Water Treatment Rule as well as other existing and future regulations associated with the 1986 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act. The upgrade will be complete in late 1996 or early 1997. Due to the City's varied topography, water service is provided to elevations between 420 feet and 1,420 feet above sea level. This 1,000 foot elevation range requires both pumping and pressure regulating zones to provide average service pressures of approximately 80 pounds per square inch (PSI). There are seven pressure zones and approximately 175 miles of main (greater than 8-inch diameter) distribution pipelines serving over 12,866 services. All water services are metered. An inter-tie exists between the City of Poway's and the Ramona Municipal Water Districts's distribution systems which enables the City of Po way to provide treated water for San Diego County Water Authority delivery to the Ramona Municipal Water District. This inter-tie prevents disruption of treated water service when Authority aqueducts receive operational inspection, maintenance, or repair. The water available from Poway for this purpose is limited due to Poway's demands and its water treatment plant capacity. The City's Public Services Department is responsible for the operation and maintenance of all water supply and distribution facilities within its boundaries. The Engineering Services Department provides assistance with the design and inspection of major capital improvement projects. All services in the distribution system are metered and the City bills all customers at a uniform rate ($1.663 per hundred cubic feet of metered deliveries) on a bi-monthly basis. Water billing and administration of conservation efforts such as ultra-low-flow toilets and water saving shower heads are centralized in the City's Administrative Services Department. 3.

During the same period, SANDAG reports a population increase for Poway of 8.3 percent. Combined, these trends reflect an overall water use per capita reduction of 32 percent. 3.2 Current Water Use The present water usage in the City includes both domestic use (serving residential and commercial users) and agricultural irrigation. Water consumption data for the City are separated into the following account sectors: Single-Family Residential; Multi-Family Residential; Commercial; Industrial; Landscape Irrigation; Agricultural (Commercial Farming); and Self Produced (Private Wells). Table 1 provides a summary of the Number of Retail Connections and Annual Consumption in the City of Poway for calendar year 1994. 5 JAN 9 1996 ITEM 7 13 of 59 TABLE 1 NUMBER OF RETAIL CONNECTIONS AND ANNUAL CONSUMPTION CALENDAR YEAR 1994 Annual Annual Non- Number of Potable Number of Potable Potable Consumption Non-Potable Consumption Account Sector Connections in Acre Feet Connections in Acre Feet Single Family Residential 11,652 7,448.7 Multi-Family Residential 135 477.0 Commercial 356 512.7 Industrial 60 85.6 Institutional 135 669.0 Landscape Irrigation 219 1,046.0 Agricultural (Commercial Fanning) 100 491.0 TOTAL CONNECTIONS AND DELIVERED ACRE 12,657 10,730.0 1 372.3 AF FEET 3.3 Major Water Use Sectors Figure 2 is a chart showing the distribution of water usage by the following major water use sectors: Residential, Commercial/Industrial, Landscape Irrigation, Institutional, and Agricultural. 6 9 1996 ITEM 7 , JAN 14 of 59 - -- - I Figure 21 ater Consumption (AF 1994 GZi Residential . CorrmerciaVlndustrial (4.6%) . Landscape ~rigalion CJ Institutional . Agricuttural (5.6%) The largest portion of the City's water supply is delivered to the Residential sector. The Residential sector is comprised mainly of single family detached and attached residences and multiple dwelling units such as apartments and condominiums. The Residential demand accounted for 73.9 percent .- of the total water consumption in 1994. Although there has been a net increase in population and housing units in Poway, total water consumption for this sector has remained stable due to a modest decline in per capita water use practices. This stability of water use can be attributed to an ongoing change in residents' water use habits which began when conservation measures were imposed in 1991-92 during the drought which lasted from 1986-1992. The next highest sector of water use is the Landscape Irrigation sector which accounted for 9.7 percent of water consumption in 1994. This sector is comprised of City Parks and City administered Landscape Maintenance Special Benefit Districts. Consumption in 1994 is slightly higher than in 1990, all of which can be attributed to new development. The South Poway Business Park was completed in 1990 and 60 acres of landscape maintenance district areas came on line. Further, four new community and neighborhood parks were developed. In practice, irrigation of these areas has been improved through new clocks, irrigation heads, and oversight. In 1990, for example, 387 acre- feet of water was applied to landscape maintenance districts, compared with 259 acre-feet in 1995, a reduction in water use of 33 percent. The Institutional water use sector is comprised primarily of government and special district buildings in the City of Poway (e.g., schools, hospitals, federal facilities). This sector accounted for 6.2 percent of total water consumption in 1994 and in 1990. CommerciallIndustrial water users accounted for 5.6 percent of water use in 1994 compared with .- 4.3 percent in 1990. Again, this increase was due in large part to new development and increased 7 JAN 9 1996 ITEM 7 15 of 59 ._~- water use in the South Poway Business Park in particular. In late 1995 the City of Po way took over the maintenance of an additional 60 acres of landscape area in the South Poway Business Park. These areas, formerly maintained by property owners, were determined potentially to be more economically and efficiently maintained by the City, Using City adopted Landscape Standards which call for the use of efficient irrigation systems and drought tolerant plant materials, overall water use reduction in the area are anticipated. Statistically, there will be a shift in water consumption from the CommerciallIndustrial sector to the Landscape Irrigation sector, but probably not a substantial increase in water use in the future because of this shift. Water use in the Agricultura1 (commercial farming) sector was 4.6 percent of total consumption in 1994, down by approximately 3 percent from 1990. As the City is developed, less land is used for agricultural purposes, Further, the largest agricultura1 water user in the recent past has developed new groundwater wells and resolved a water rights law suit (to his benefit) with the neighboring Ramona Water District. 4. WATER SUPPLY 4.1 Purchased Supply Virtua1ly all of the City of Po way's water is purchased from the San Diego County Water Authority which, in turn, imports 90 percent of water used in its service area from the Metropolitan Water District. TIlis imported water from the Authority is a combination of Colorado River Aqueduct Water and State Project Water. As previously stated, the water is delivered untreated (raw) and is treated at the City's Water Treatment Facility. The other 10 percent of the water used is supplied by local agencies impounding run-off in their reservoirs and pumping from groundwater basins. The 10/90 split between local and imported supplies can vary widely from year to year depending upon runoff into local reservoirs and groundwater recharge. 4.2 Groundwater Supply Geologic and soil conditions in Poway are not conducive to the replenishment of the limited groundwater supply that exists. Therefore, Poway has existed and grown more dependent on imported water since the establishment of the Poway Municipal Water District and development from a rural to a municipal region. Some areas of the City are not served by the community water system. The foothill and mountain areas of the eastern portion of the City still rely on groundwater pumped from wells constructed in fractured bed rock to use for potable water and to irrigate agriculture, primarily avocados. Groundwater supplies regionwide are limited. The San Diego County Water Authority is currently studying certain groundwater basins which could potentially provide an incremental increase to the region's water supply. There are a number of operational and property rights issues to be considered in the analysis as well. 8 16 0 f 59 JAN 9 1996 ITEM 7 - - 4.3 Surface Water Supply Poway lies amidst a regional drainage system of westward-tending streams which convey surface water toward the Pacific Ocean. Two major watersheds divide the City. Surface water flows into the San Dieguito River and Lake Hodges from the northern portion of Po way, while water from the southern areas of the City flows into Los Penasquitos Creek. These channels not only carry flood waters, but serve as natural recreational and open space linkages within the community. A minimal amount of surface run-off occurs in the 1200 acre watershed upstream of Lake Poway. The City of San Diego has prior water rights in this watershed. Therefore, by agreement 50 percent of the seasonal streamflow into Lake Poway must be passed on to the City of San Diego unless San Diego's Lake Hodges spills. 4.4 Management of Supplies The Poway General Plan discusses the City's policy on the active conservation of the natural water resources in the community. The policy states that water resources in the City should be managed through: retention of the natural drainage systems; protection of limited groundwater resources; promotion of domestic water conservation measures; development of a reclaimed water supply and distribution system; and preservation of water quality at or better than acceptable public health standards. The General Plan and its fmal Environmental Impact Report contain implementation strategies and mitigation measures which focus on water conservation and recycling. Therefore, the City has incorporated water conservation and reclamation measures into the development application review process. The City also closely examines the impact of land use changes on its ability to maintain its present quality of water supply and service to the Community. 4.4.1 Groundwater Mana~ement Due to the fact that Poway climatologically and geologically has limited means by which to recharge the groundwater that does exist, the absence of a community water distribution infrastructure in undeveloped regions is a deterrent to land development. Land use plans and zoning for these remaining undeveloped regions calls for very large lot residential uses and open space. The City continues to closely monitor and regulate applications for land division, development and construction in areas where wells will pump groundwater to ensure that groundwater supply remains adequate. 4.4 2 Surface Water Mana\lement The City's Lake Poway surface storage reservoir is used to buffer the effects of peak seasonal demands, for regulatory storage, and for supply during aqueduct failure or other emergencies, Daily monitoring to the Lake's ecologic conditions is performed by Treatment Plant personnel to assure maximum beneficial water quality. Adjustments to the Lake level and use of the stored water after treatment are made with respect to the available supply from the aqueduct. - 9 JAN 91996 ITEM 7 17 0 f 59 ---," The Lake is also used to store surplus water as promulgated by MWD's Seasonal Storage Program. This program provides an incentive for the City to purchase excess water from MWD during the low demand months of October through April for storage in Lake Poway. It is aimed at achieving greater conjunctive use of imported water facilities by reducing the City's dependence on aqueduct supply during the peak summer months. 4.4.3 Potable Water Mana\lement The distribution system in the City includes fourteen (14) reservoirs for localized storage. these reservoirs range in capacities from 500,000 gallons to 10 million gallons and exist to maintain adequate supplies during peak demand, for fire flow, or other emergencies. AIl of these reservoirs are covered to prevent losses from evaporation and reduce pollution or contamination risks. These reservoirs are constructed of plate steel, with the exception of the 10 MG clearwell reservoir created by a polyethylene lined, earthen excavation with a hypolon rubberized fabric floating cover. 5. DROUGHT AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT Since the City of Po way obtains its water from the San Diego County Water Authority which, in turn, obtains the majority of its water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, any shortages of water that are imposed on the MWD will have a "ripple effect" and translate into a water shortage for the Authority and for the City of Po way. During the supply shortages in 1991- 92 the Authority was able to lessen the conservation requirement imposed on the City of Po way and other member agencies by purchasing transfer supplies and by using water stored in local surface reservolfS. 5.1 Drought Assistance Response Team (D.A.R.T.) In February, 1991 the member agencies of the San Diego County Water Authority were advised to prepare for a significant reduction of water deliveries. As a result, the City of Poway and other communities developed an operation plan to address a 50 percent reduction in water deliveries. In the months following the February announcement, required conservation levels were reduced to 20 percent. The City's efforts to achieve a 20 percent community-wide conservation goal centered on the establishment of the Drought Assistance Response Team program, commonly referred to as the D.A.R.T. program, and a tiered pricing structure for water, Due to higher than anticipated conservation results (approximately 31 percent) the tiered pricing structure was suspended shortly after implementation. The goals of the D.A.R.T. program included public education, retrofit/rebate programs, code compliance and irrigation audits. In March, 1992 the Authority declared that the water supply condition for their service areas had improved allowing the Board to declare a Stage I condition. In April, 1992 the Poway City Council followed suit by announcing a Stage I water condition, 10 percent voluntary reduction, in response to improved water 10 18 of 59 JAN 9 1996 ITEM 7 - -, - supply conditions in the state. However, because of pipeline capacity problems, the Authority was unable to supply 100 percent of its customers' needs during peak usage days, and the City and member agencies were asked to continue a voluntary effort to reduce water usage and draw from storage during peak usage periods. The primary responsibilities of the drought task force was administration of the ultra-low-flush toilet (ULFT) rebate program, code compliance, and public education. Subsequently the program was expanded to include the landscape evaluation service and water allocation appeal process. Code enforcement activity was curtailed in November, 1991, in response to acceptable levels of conservation. A Summary of Program Achievements can be found in Appendix B. 5.2 Drought-Emergency and Proposed Exchanges At present, the Lester 1. Berglund Water Treatment Plant is the sole source of potable water to the City of Poway. Should a long-term (greater than three clays) interruption of potable water from the Water Treatment Plant occur during an emergency or disaster situation, the City of Po way has no alternate potable water supply to provide to its citizens. To address this, the City and the San Diego County Water Authority are presently working out the details of a mutual aid agreement which will provide for the modification of existing infrastructure to bring water into the City via a 7 MGD treated water connection during emergency conditions. This connection will also permit the sale of excess treated water capacity from Poway's filtration plant to the City of San Diego or others through local "wheeling". 6. URBAN W A TER SHORT AGE CONTINGENCY COMPONENT 6.1 Water Shortage Contingency Plan Amendments to the California Water Code subsequent to the preparation of the 1990 Urban Water Management Plan required the preparation and submission of a Water Shortage Contingency Plan. The City adopted a Water Shortage Contingency Plan on February 4, 1992, which is now incorporated into this section of the City's 1995 Urban Water Management Plan. 6.1 I COQperative Plannin~ The City of Poway shares water service boundaries with the City of San Diego and the Ramona Municipal Water District. The City of San Diego serves all areas adjacent to the City's service boundaries with the exception of the Ramona Municipal Water District which serves the area east of the City's service boundaries. Therefore, the greatest potential for procuring additional water supply during a state of emergency lies with these two agencies. -- II 19 of 59 JAN 9 1996 ITEM 7 Also, as it was mentioned above, the City and the Authority are working on a mutual aid agreement to construct an emergency potable water supply connection to existing pipelines to serve the City in the event that our Water Treatment Plant becomes inoperable. Through active participation in San Diego County Water Authority activities, and cooperation with member agencies, planning efforts will be coordinated to the greatest extent possible to ensure that the priority water needs of the City and the region as a whole are adequately met. 6.1.2 Demand. Response and Supply On March 16, 1993, the Poway City Council adopted Ordinance No. 408 which provides for the mandatory reduction in water use by customers of the City of Poway under one or more of the following circumstances: A. There is a general water supply shortage; B. There is limited capacity in the San Diego County Water Authority distribution facilities; C. The potential for a major failure of the supply and distribution facilities of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, the San Diego County Water Authority, or the City, exists; D. The conditions prevailing in the San Diego County area require that the water resources available be put to the maximum beueficial use to the extent in which they are capable, and that the waste or unreasonable use, ore unreasonable method of use of water be prevented and the conservation of such water is to be extended and encouraged for the benefit of the public welfare. The ordinance designates seven conservation stages to be declared by the City Manager and ratified by the City Council in response to the existence of one or more of the conditions outlined above. The water conservation measures outlined for each stage apply to all City domestic water service connections but do not apply to the use of reclaimed water, graywater, or groundwater from private wells. Each conservation stage is presented in the text of the ordinance, Appendix C. Should the City's water supply be entirely cut-off through a major failure in Authority aqueduct supplies, the City will use water stored in Lake Poway. Assuming that Lake Poway is at its maximum operating level, it is estimated that with a 20 percent conservation level the City could provide enough water to adequately provide for the health and safety of its customers for up to four months (9 mgd). Should major supply deficiencies occur, the extent to which Poway would be able to meet its demands would be directly proportional to the level of supply reductions. For instance, should a total disruption in imported water supplies occur, the City could adequately meet the demand at a 50 percent conservation level for up to 6 months (5 mgd). 12 20 of 59 JAN 9 1996 ITEM 7 - - - 6.1.3 Revenue The City of Poway bills customers for both the costs associated with treating and delivering water. With this billing system, the City is financially able to produce water, maintain the water systems, and provide for emergencies regardless of customer usage. Through the application of this "capacity" and "commodity" billing structure the City is essentially protected from the negative financial impacts of conservation efforts. Water rates include components for treatment, delivery, pwnping, capital replacement, debt service, and administration (the latter is in the per meter rates). The City of Po way rate schedule is outlined in Appendix D. 6.14 Evaluation ofMea~ures The City has the capability of monitoring accounts through its computerized billing system to identify customers with high or excessive water usage, and to ascertain whether or not an account is meeting prescribed conservation levels when imposed. If an account does not meet prescribed conservation levels if imposed, the customer may be penalized according to the enforcement provisions of the City's Water Conservation Ordinance. 7. CONSERV A TION MEASURES AND PUBLIC OUTREACH 7.1 Regional Conservation Efforts _. There are many regional conservation programs sponsored and implemented by both the San Diego County Water Authority and the Metropolitan Water District. Details of these programs are outlined in each agency's Urban Water Management Plan. 7.1.1 Cost SharinlZ PrOlrram Since 1988 the MWD has operated a Conservation Credits Program to provide financial support to its member agencies and subagencies in implementing conservation measures. Through the program, MWD provides $154 per acre-foot for demonstrable water savings up to one-half of the cost of each qualifying conservation project. The City and other local water agencies have participated with the Authority in taking advantage of the program by becoming a cost sharing partner in the conservation credits process. In most cases the cost sharing is divided among the MWD (50%), Authority (25%), and member agencies (25%). 7.2 Local Conservation Efforts The City of Poway's water conservation program is consistent with regional programs, but also takes into account specific characteristics of the local community. The City is committed to using good faith efforts to implement conservation practices that meet the goal of maintaining a high level of water use efficiency throughout the entire Community. - 13 JAN 91996 ITEM 7 21 of 59 7.3 Public Education and Outreach The City's Drought Assistance Response Team (D.A.R.T.) was very innovative and responsive to the changing water conservation needs of the Community in the early 1990's. During its twenty month period of full operation, the team initiated an aggressive water conservation program which provided plumbing retrofit/rebates; public education, including school presentations and conservation status signs; a "Water Wise Landscape" awards program; and landscape/irrigation audits. When the team was dissolved in 1992 the ULFT rebate program and water conservation and public information and outreach efforts were passed to existing administrative and operating divisions of the City; they continue to provide these services in conjunction with the Authority. The City utilizes materials and other forms of assistance from the Authority to provide information to customers which promotes water conservation. From time to time, the City will "tailor" the information to reflect the unique characteristics of the community. The City distributes and makes these resources available through inserts into the bi-monthly water bills, counter top handouts for walk-in customers, displays at local community events, and news releases and articles placed in the City's quarterly publication that is mailed to all residents, Po~ Todl\)'. as well as local newspapers. 7.4 Water Audits The City participates with the Authority in a program to provide water audit services for single family residential, multi-family residential and small commercial customers. Audits are made available to the top 30 percent of users in each category. The survey concentrates on exterior water use, especially irrigation practices. Additionally, information and equipment are provided to assist in enhancing indoor water use efficiency. 7.5 Plumbing Retrofit/Ultra-Low-Flush Toilet Rebate Program The City participates with the Authority on a program which focuses on the marketing and distribution of low flow showerheads, and rebates for the installation of Ultra-Low-Flush Toilets (ULFT's). These programs have contributed to long-term conservation by reducing the amount of potable water that people use with the added benefit of reducing the volume of sewage that will require treatment. 7.6 Landscape Requirements In 1988 the City adopted Landscape Standards (Resolution No. 88-140) which provides guidelines that promote the use of highly efficient irrigation systems and the use of drought tolerant plant materials in landscaping. A comprehensive update and revision of these requirements has been completed and is scheduled to go before the Poway City Council for adoption in early 1996. In addition to reinforcing existing water-efficient landscape requirements, several new water conservation measures will be incorporated into the updated guidelines to satisfy AB 325 requirements. These measures include: limits on cool-season turfgrass species, micro-irrigation in 14 22 of 59 JAN 9 1996 ITeM 7 - ,- street medians and parking lot planter islands, and use of xeriscape principles in the design and installation of landscapes. The City has developed a handbook which sununarizes the Landscape Standards and is available to the public. Parties involved in new development in the Community are required to purchase a copy of the handbook and use it as a reference for the preparation and implementation of plans for new projects. 8.

The charge is a connection fee which relates to the development of new water resources proportionate to the demand applied to the system by the new cOlUlection. The future development is assessed a charge on projected usage based on meter size. The intent of the charge is to reflect the true cost of new water supplies necessary to serve the future population demanding the water resources, It is also anticipated that the City will begin to pass through the MWD "New Demand" charge as early as the year 2000. 8.4 Future Supply Opportunities The City looks to the County Water Authority to ensure, to the best of its ability, that adequate amounts of water will be available to satisfy future water requirements of the region. Proposed and possible new sources of supply are detailed in the Urban Water Management Plans of the Authority and the Metropolitan Water District. 8.4.1 Water Reclamation The City has been pursuing water reclamation with a sincere commitment to providing a cost efficient and marketable reclaimed product. The southern portion of Poway has been developed for light industrial and commercial land uses. The City has required that the 2,500 acre hilltop development (South Poway Planned Community, SPPC) have dual water lines to serve both potable and future reclaimed water systems. The City proposes to purchase reclaimed water from the City of San Diego for south Poway, and purchase reclaimed water from the City of Escondido for north Poway. The potential market areas for the reclaimed water include local golf courses, landscape maintenance districts, City parks, local schools, and other facilities, The City's Reclaimed Master Plan estimates that potential demand will approach 3000 acre feet per year. 8.4.2 Grav Water The City of Poway is presently exploring the feasibility of using "gray" water for landscape irrigation purposes. 8.4.3 Groundwater In the early 1990's the City drilled seven (7) test wells in various City parks for the purpose of an alternate source of water for landscape irrigation. The results of these test wells showed an aquifer with either too little yield or a source too high in salts (TDS). One well showed some potential for high yields but is high in salts. It is possible to blend this water with City treated water to lower salts ,. 19 27 of 59 JAN 91996 ITEM 7 -----.- --, for landscape irrigation purposes. The City has not included this source in its projections of future water supply at this time, but will continue to explore this alternative. 20 28 of 59 JAN 9 1996 ITi:.M 7 .

As of November 2, 1992, approximately 5,400 ULFTs had been installed in Poway, 10,500 low flow showerheads and 1,500 sink aerators have been provided to apartments and single family hcmes. The large scale plumbing hardware conversion program undertaken by DART proved to be a significant factor in meeting the future conservation goals. The plumbing retrofit and ULFT rebate programs were both significant to the achievements of the regional conservation efforts as they resulted in long range measurable results. In addition to saving potable water, the plumbing replacement program reduced the volume of sewage requiring treatment. An MWD study concluded that the first toilet retrofitted in each household would save more that 50 gallons cf water per day. Each additional ULFT in the household saved approximately 28 gallons per day. The study also discovered that retrofitting multi-family dwellings - achieved a slightly greater savings per unit installed. By projecting water saved from the ULFT retrofit program, it was estimated that 95.8 MG (million gallons) of water has been conserved through the rebate program. Assuming an 80 percent installation rate for the distributed showerheads and aerators, an additional 5.84 MG of water has been saved. The ultra-low flush toilet rebate program was extremely popular with the citizens of Poway and as a result we achieved the second highest installation rate in San Diego County. An additional 3,800 toilet rebates were available for Poway in fiscal year 92/93. At the conclusion of DART, Customer Services administered the rebate program. LANDSCAPE EVALUATION SERVICE The landscape/irrigation audit program was utilized by over 512 residents interested in reducing the water demands of their landscaping. A measurable reduction was achieved by analyzing irrigation scheduling, plant selection, and plant location. The landscape evaluation consisted of an appointment with a DART staff member who offers on-site water use review and design assistance with a follow up report. The service was offered to the top 2,000 water consumers through 3 separate direct mail contacts. 31 of 59 JAN 9 1996 ITEM 7 -- Le .~~._--- WATER/ENERGY PARTNERSHIP Staff negotiated an interagency agreement with San Diego Gas and Electric to form a water/energy partnership which had a goal of fostering resource conservation as a way of life for the students and citizens of Poway. A joint conservation education program for the residents of Haley Ranch Estates, participation by SDG&E at the Second Annual Conservation and Gardening Expo, and the donation of compact fluorescent light bulbs for the landscape evaluation program were tangible results of the agreement. DART staff installed over 800 energy efficient light bulbs (a $16,000 retail value) through the landscape evaluation service. The water/energy partnership program concluded with the end of the landscape audit service. WATER CONSERVATION SCHOOL PROGRAM A comprehensive and dynamic school education program was designed by DART staff. Age appropriate lesson plans for K-12 were created which used multi-media resources to involve students in conservation and water-related issues. Staff used flannel board skits, film strips, hands-on water experiments, tours of the filtration plant, video tapes, and interactive discussions with students to increase awareness of California's water distribution problems and to create a resource conservation ethic in the students who will guide the future of Poway and the region. Staff received a strong recommendation for our school program from the PUSD K-6 Curriculum Review Board. We customized our presentations to be presented in conjunction with geography, ecology, science, government, or general class curriculum. After a presentation, the students were given useful water conservation reminders such as neon pencils. Teachers were given coloring sheets, workbooks, and exercises that could be used to reinforce the DART presentation. Program evaluation sheets from educators were very supportive of the school program. DART maintained a video lending library and newspaper clipping file for teachers and students to research water issues. Our staff assisted numerous students with information for science projects. DART talked with approximately 4,200 students during the first 20 months of the program. The school program ended at the DART sunset date; however, third grade teachers could still request educational assistance from the San Diego County Water Authority. PUBLIC EDUCATION PROGRAM DART worked with local Brownie troops and Cub Scout packs on merit badges, such as the Clean Water Program "Water Saver" and "Earth as a Treasure' patch. Additionally, DART provided community outreach through activities such as Earth Day, Community Days, Youth Day at Lake Poway, and Silverset Park dedication. Limited support was also provided to the after school and summer day programs provided at local parks by Community Services. 9 1996 ITEM 7 ' . 32 of 59 JAN 24 . - - PUBLIC EDUCATION PROGRAM (Continued) Citizen surveys conducted by the San Diego County Water Authority concluded that water customers had been saturated with COnservation messages. Because of the success of the public education program, these elements were tabled until needed in the future. The distribution point in the City for water COnservation brochures returned to the Customer Services Division. CONSERV A TION STATUS SIGNS In July 1991, at the direction of City Council, staff placed water COnservation status signs at the entrance points of the City. These signs provided the conservation goal and actual water savings for our community. The conservation signs were maintained by the Public Services Department at the end of DART. WATER-EFFICIENT DEMONSTRATION GARDEN The water-efficient demonstration garden, located at the Lake Poway Treatment facility, was dedicated in October 1991. Maintenance of the garden was performed by the Parks and Landscape division. XERISCAPE CONFERENCE TOURS The San Diego Chapter of the National XERISCAPE Council holds an annual conference at the San Diego Convention Center. DART joined with the program organizers and other City staff to offer tours of XERISCAPE type landscapes in Poway for the last two years. The Parks and Landscape division continued this tradition for the City, WATER WISE LANDSCAPE AWARDS PROGRAM DART sponsored a Water Wise Landscape contest during April, 1992 to increase public awareness of drip irrigation and drought tolerant plants. This event is most appropriate for spring to emphasize the beauty of blooming plants. WATER AWARENESS MONTH May is Water Awareness month and National Drinking Water week was the first week in May. Traditional DART activities included delivering school packages to educators, Annual Conservation and Gardening Expo, conclusion of the Water Wise Landscape Awards program, and tours of the Lake Poway Treatment facility. JAN 9 1996 lil;M 7 33 of 59 25 -~ WATER ALLOCATION APPEALS When the City had a penalty pricing structure, DART was tasked with processing water allocation appeals. Over 230 water allocation appeals were reviewed by staff. Ordinance 336 provided the formulation of a Water Appeals Board by City Council. With the end of consumption based water rates, it was no longer necessary to process appeals.
