Conclusion
With the significant amount of drought relief California has experienced over the last three
months and the City Council action taken on March 21, 2017 to rescind the Stage 2
conservation designation and revising the City's Water Management Pian to modify the
conservation stages to provide a more gradual approach to implementing water use restrictions
in the future and incorporate the permanent restrictions put in place by the Governor and the
State Water Resources Control Board, staff is proposing to conclude monthly Council updates
moving forward and report back as necessary or as conditions warrant. To date, Staff has
provided a monthly water conversation update since July 7, 2015.
Nevertheless, the Water Board has made monthly reporting on water use a permanent
requirement of all water agencies. Therefore, the City will continue to comply and report to the
Water Board monthly.
