AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, FINDING AND DETERMINING
THE NECESSITY FOR AND AMENDING THE WATER
MANAGEMENT PLAN
The City Council of the City of Tustin does hereby ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: Findings. The City Council finds and determines as follows:
A. Article X, Section 2 of the California Constitution declares that waters of the State
are to be put to beneficial use, that waste, unreasonable use, or unreasonable
method of use of water be prevented, and that water be conserved for the public
welfare.
B. Conservation of current water supplies and minimization of the effects of water
supply shortages that are the result of drought are essential to the public health,
safety and welfare.
C. Regulation of the time of certain water use, manner of certain water use, design
of rates, method of application of water for certain uses, installation and use of
water -saving devices, provide an effective and immediately available means of
conserving water.
D. The California Water Code empowers any public entity which supplies water at
retail or wholesale to adopt and enforce a water conservation program to reduce
the quantity of water used by those within its service area.
E. It is essential that this ordinance take effect upon adoption for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health or safety due to the statewide water
emergency, and based upon the facts described below.
F. On January 17, 2014, the Governor proclaimed a State of Emergency to exist
throughout the State of California due to severe drought conditions. On April 25,
2014, the Governor issued a second proclamation declaring a continued State of
Emergency and noting that drought conditions had persisted for the last three
years.
G. Governor Brown issued Executive Order B-29-15 on April 1, 2015 instituting
emergency actions and mandatory water use reductions for the State of
California and Urban Water Suppliers, including the City of Tustin.
H. State snowpack levels, as indicated by manual surveys and automatic gauge
measurements throughout the Sierra Nevada, have been below normal for four
Ordinance No. 1457
Page 1 of 14
consecutive years. The official projections for the State of California show well
below normal runoff for the fourth consecutive year. State runoff that replenishes
the state's reservoir system, as indicated by the Department of Water Resources,
has been below normal levels eight of the last nine years. Rainfall levels locally
have been below normal for three consecutive years.
I. The dry year storage available to Metropolitan Water District has been reduced
by approximately 55 percent since January 2012. Storage in the state's reservoir
system is well below normal levels, with Lake Oroville at 50 percent of capacity.
Runoff in the Colorado River system, as indicated by the Bureau of Reclamation,
has been below normal levels 13 of the last 16 years. Storage in the Colorado
River system is well below normal levels, with Lake Mead at 40 percent of
capacity.
J. A potable water shortage now exists so it is vital for the City, as an urban water
supplier, and for its customers to take immediate action to restrict certain uses of
water to conserve this limited and vital resource.
K. In the future, water conservation conditions will be found to exist upon the
occurrence of one or more of the following:
1. An Executive Order and/or Declaration issued by the Governor.
2. A general local or state-wide water supply shortage due to limited
supplies.
3. Distribution or storage facilities of the Metropolitan Water District of
Southern California, the Municipal Water District of Orange County, the
East Orange County Water District, or the City of Tustin become
inadequate.
4. A major failure of the supply, storage and distribution facilities of the
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, the Municipal Water
District of Orange County, the East Orange County Water District, or of
the City of Tustin occurs.
L. The conditions prevailing in the State and in the Orange County area require that
the available water resources be put to maximum beneficial use to the extent to
which they are capable, and that the waste or unreasonable use, excessive
runoff, or unreasonable method of use, of water be prevented and that the
conservation of such water be encouraged with a view to the maximum
reasonable and beneficial use thereof in the interests of the people served by the
City of Tustin and for the public welfare.
