RESOLUTION NO. 2001 B 09

 

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF

THE MONTEREY PENINSULA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT

DISALLOWING WATER USE CREDIT FOR MULTIPLE UTILITY SINK INSTALLATIONS (INDOOR AND OUTDOOR) AND OTHER OUTDOOR WATER FIXTURES

 

 

WHEREAS there has been a marked increase in the number of residential utility sinks (located inside and outside) and other outdoor water fixtures being installed to obtain Water Use Credits, and;

 

WHEREAS District staff is unable to reliably distinguish between legally installed water fixtures and water fixtures installed without the appropriate permit, and;

 

WHEREAS, it is the recommendation of the District=s Water Demand Committee that exterior water fixtures be disallowed as Water Use Credits, and;

 

WHEREAS, it is the recommendation of the Water Demand Committee that a residential site shall not be given a Water Use Credit for more than one utility sink, and;

 

WHEREAS, Water Use Credits for outdoor water fixtures and multiple utility sinks create discrepancies during permit pre-inspections to document existing water fixtures prior to issuance of a water permit, and;

 

WHEREAS, removal of these fixtures from the permit process will have a minimal effect on the District=s ability to project water demand.

 

NOW THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District resolves that

 

(1)        District Rule 24-C (2), Table I: Fixture Unit Count, shall be modified as shown in Exhibit 1.

 

(2)        Water Use Credits for outdoor water fixtures and multiple utility sinks shall not be granted in the District.

 

(3)        Prior Water Use Credits deriving from fixtures noted in the footnote on Table No. 1 shall be used for completed applications submitted to the governing jurisdiction on or before December 31, 2001, and thereafter those credits shall no longer have any force or effect.

 

 

On motion of Director Henson, and second by Director Lindstrom, the foregoing resolution is duly adopted this 16th day of July, 2001, by the following vote:
