WORKSHOP TO DISCUSS MODIFICATIONS TO THE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN TO MEET THE STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD REGULATIONS PowerPoint presentation by Director of Public Works/City Engineer Doug Stack and Water Services Manager Art Valenzuela 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.
