SUMMARY: Effective March 27, 2015, the State Water
Resources Control Board (SWRCB) adopted an expanded emergency conservation
regulation in response to record-low snowpack and the beginning of a fourth
year of drought. The new regulation replaces one adopted last year, and adds
restrictions for watering during and for 48 hours after measurable
precipitation (0.01 inches); restrictions on water service in restaurants;
increased leak notification to customers by the water suppliers; and
mandatory towel/linen reuse programs.
The watering restriction during and after rainfall is the only
addition to the water waste rules that is not in the District’s current Water
Waste definition. Resolution 2015-05 (Exhibit 3-A)
indicates the District’s support for the SWRCB’s emergency
conservation regulation and affirms the District’s commitment to enforce
water waste restrictions within the Monterey Peninsula Water Management
District. RECOMMENDATION: Staff
recommends adoption of Resolution 2015-05 with the Consent Calendar. |
