Peninsula Water Resources System and the District’s Expanded Water Conservation
and Standby Rationing Plan
The committee discussed
the ordinance and offered the following comments. (1) The cost to install a
separate water meter for outdoor landscaping may be considered excessive by business
owners. Staff was asked to prepare a cost
benefit ratio study of requiring separate meters for outdoor landscaping. (2) Add to the ordinance a reference to
Ordinance No. 132 which specifies that the Sand City Desalination Project is
not subject to a moratorium on the issuance of water permits.
Other Items
4. Oral Report on Status of Development of
Ordinance Regarding Sub-Potable Water Credits
Pintar reported that a
letter was sent to each jurisdiction requesting that they look at the potential
for transfers of potable water credits. For
example, a laundry might have plans to relocate to a new location within a
jurisdiction and transfer its water use to the new location. Based on the information provided by the
jurisdictions, staff will determine the amount of potable water that could
potentially be transferred, and then meet with a consultant to determine the
cost of developing an Environmental Impact Report on the transfer of potable
and sub-potable water use credits within the District. A meeting will then be convened with the
Technical and Policy Advisory committees to discuss a scope and funding for an
EIR.
Adjournment
The meeting was
adjourned at 10:30 AM.
