DISCUSSION -
1. WORKSHOP TO DISCUSS MODIFICATIONS TO THE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
TO MEET THE STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD REGULATIONS
On April 1, 2015, Governor Brown directed the State Water Resources Control Board
(Water Board) to impose restrictions to achieve an aggregate statewide 25% reduction in
potable urban water use through February 2016. The specific restrictions and prohibitions
on water use in the Executive Order (EOrder) apply to all Californians. The EOrder
stipulates the 25% reduction in water use as compared to 2013, but proposes flexibility in
how to achieve this reduction in recognition of the level of conservation already achieved
by different communities around the state. The Water Board has reviewed previous
conservation amounts for each Water Supplier in the state and has determined that Tustin
Water Services must reduce potable water consumption by 28% through February 2016.
Recommendation: Staff is recommending the City Council discuss various options to
achieve a 28% Tustin Water Services State Mandatory Conservation Target in potable
water use reduction and provide direction to staff regarding revising the Water
Management Plan to assist in meeting this target and the State of Emergency regarding
the drought.
