I. MANDATORY WATER CONSERVATION RETROFIT PROGRAM
District
Regulation XIV requires the retrofit of water fixtures upon Change of Ownership
to Ultra-Low Flush Toilets (ULF) (1.6 gallons-per-flush), 2.0
gallons-per-minute (gpm) Showerheads, and 2.2 gpm faucet aerators. Rain Sensors
are also required for all automatic Irrigation Systems. Property owners must certify the Site meets
the District’s water efficiency standards by submitting a Water Conservation
Certification Form (WCC). A Site
inspection to verify compliance is conducted when five years have passed since
a previous inspection.
Information
is obtained weekly from Realquest.com on properties transferring
ownership within the District. The information
is entered into the database and compared against the properties that have
submitted WCCs. Properties not in
compliance with Regulation XIV are identified.
Details on 140 property
transfers that occurred in June 2011, were entered
into the database.
The District
received 93 WCCs between June 1 and June 30, 2011.
Data on ownership, transfer date, and status of water efficiency
standards were entered into the database.
In June, 136
inspections were performed to verify compliance with Rule 144 (Retrofit upon Change of Ownership or Use). Of
the 136 inspections performed, 107 (79%) were in compliance. Four
of the properties that passed inspection involved more than one visit to verify
compliance with all water efficiency standards.
District inspectors are noting that a large percentage of toilets are being replaced with High Efficiency Toilets (HET). These retrofits are occurring as a result of remodels and new construction, and as the toilet of choice for Rule 144 compliance. State law mandates the sale and installation of HET by January 1, 2014, with a phase-in period that began in 2010.
Water savings
from retrofits triggered by Rule 144 that were verified in June 2011, are estimated at 1.344
acre-feet annually (AFA). Water savings in June from voluntary
retrofits that exceeded requirements (Ultra-Low Flush Toilets to HET), 27 toilets, is estimated at 0.270 AFA. Year-to-date
estimated savings occurring as a result of retrofits is 7.948 AFA.
There were no
Water Waste complaints reported by the public. Staff made several verbal
contacts in the field after observing Water Waste. Follow up letters were sent as needed to
correct the Water Waste.
II.
WATER
DEMAND MANAGEMENT
District
staff processed and issued 60 Water Permits in June 2011. Six Water
Permits were issued using Water
Entitlements (Macomber, Pebble Beach Company, Griffin Estates, Quail Meadows,
Water West, etc). No Water Permits
issued involved a debit to a Public Water Credit Account. District Rule 23 requires a Water Permit
application for all properties that propose to Expand or modify water use on a
Site, including New Construction and Remodels.
All Water Permit
Applicants have received a disclaimer informing them of the Cease and Desist
Order against California American Water and the possibility that MPWMD will be
reporting Water Permits details to California American Water. Disclaimers will continue to be provided to
all Water Permit recipients with property supplied by a California American
Water Distribution system.
District Rule 24-3-A allows the addition of a second bathroom to an
existing Single-Family Dwelling on a Single-Family Residential Site. Of the 60 Water Permits issued in June, six were issued under this provision.
B.
Permit
Compliance
District
staff completed 87 Water Permit
final inspections in June 2011. Sixteen
of the final inspections failed due to unpermitted fixtures. Of the 64 properties that were in compliance, 58 passed on the first visit. In
addition, seven pre-inspections were
conducted in response to Water Permit applications received by the District.
District
staff prepares deed restrictions that are recorded on the property title to
provide notice of District Rules and Regulations, enforce Water Permit
conditions, and provide notice of public access to water records. In March 2001, the District Board of
Directors adopted a policy regarding the processing of deed restrictions. Specifically, an extensive quality control
process was put into place, and the District is now responsible for thoroughly
reviewing and recording these documents.
In the month of June, the District prepared 52 deed restrictions. Of the
60 Water Permits issued in June, 29 (48%)
required deed restrictions.
District staff provided deed restriction Notary services for 29 Water Permit Applicants.
Rebate funding for California
American Water was depleted on May 18, 2011. The rebate program will continue
when additional funding is made available. The rebate program for
non-California American Water Company customers will continue until funding is
depleted.
Water
savings associated with the installation of high efficiency devices are detailed
in the following charts. Table 1
indicates the program summary for California American Water Company; Table 2 indicates the program
summary for Seaside Municipal and Non-California American Water users.
