A. the telemeter gages are displaying. We are 2/3 of the way into the
accumulation season. The forecast for this weekend is rain and snow storms
on Saturday; and more snow in the basin Sunday through Monday. If the
future remains normal, the yield will be at 85%,400,000 acre feet for the group.
Information only, no action taken.
B. Update on Water Usage in the City's Domestic Water Service Area for
December 2015,
Jason Meadors, Water Resources Director, provided the monthly water usage
for the month of December, 2015 within our system. The total water produced
was reduced by 19.8 % for the system; that is well below the 36% target set by
the state, The residential gallons per capita, per day usage were reduced by
21.2 %. Residential did a little better than the overall system in reducing water
consumption; however we did not get near the 36 %, As of December the
cumulative savings for our system is 28.9 %, short of our 36% target, The state is
assessing compliance from June 2015 to February 2016, although drought
restrictions may be extended into the future. Current legislation is looking into
extending drought regulations into October 2016. December is a little
disappointing compared to November. We encourage everyone to continue
to conserve water and do their part.
Chairman Hanson asked staff if the City was in trouble with the State because
of the low conservation numbers.
Art Chianello, Water Resources Manager, stated staff has responded to a
second letter received from the state regarding the cumulative savings not
meeting the 36% reductions. Staff provided the State with a report outlining
the City's conservation efforts. The state has received and will review the
report. Staff has not received anything negative as in terms of a fine, at this
time.
Chairman Hanson stated we did not meet our goal but we still need to
conserve water. Residents and businesses need to continue to save water to
meet the 36% goal, but stated he's not sure how to accomplish that.
Art Chianello, Water Resources Manager, stated in response to a question
from Water Board Member Maxwell, what conservation would need to occur
for the months of December, January and February? Mr. Chianello reviewed
a hypothetical table. He stated hypothetically, in order for the City to get to
36 %, literally there would have to be absolutely no water usage at all, of
course that is impossible, in order to meet the 36 %. In the winter time because
water use is already reduced it is much harder to conserve water.
Alan Tandy, City Manager, stated the City received a $660,000 grant for
extension of the conservation system from the state.

Update on Water Usage in the City's Domestic Water Service Area for January
2016.
RECOMMENDATION: For Board information.
BACKGROUND: The emergency drought regulations implemented by the Governor
require the City to report water usage to the State by the 15th of each month. The City
began reporting monthly water usage for its domestic water service area in June 2014.
Table 1 below shows information that was reported to the State for the month of
January 2016. Note that one (1) CCF is one hundred cubic feet, or 748 gallons. "R-
GPCY is the residential gallons per person per day water usage.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
WATER BOARD
Per the emergency drought regulations passed in May 2015, the State Water Resources
Control Board (State Water Board) assessed compliance for the period of June 1, 2015
through February 29, 2016. On February 2, 2016 the State Water Board adopted a
revised emergency regulation which extends the existing emergency regulation
through October 2016 and maintains many of the same requirements. However, the
February 2016 emergency regulation provides more flexibility in meeting conservation
requirements through adjustments and credits that allow a supplier to modify its
conservation standard. The City's conservation standard goal was 36 %, but based on
an allowed adjustment that considers climate adjustment and growth adjustment, the
City's new conservation standard will be 32 %.
As of the end of January 2016, the City's cumulative savings is 27.9% as shown in Table 2
below, which is 4.1% below the target. The City is hopeful that as we begin to enter into
the hotter spring and summer months, the City's customers will realize higher water
savings to achieve the conservation target of 32 %.

RECOMMENDATION: For Board information.
BACKGROUND: On February 2, 2016 the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water
Board) adopted a revised emergency regulation to ensure that urban water conservation

Bakersfield's water system. One effect is that the emergency regulations are extended through
October 2016. However this revised emergency regulation also provides water suppliers with
more flexibility in meeting their conservation requirements through adjustments and credits that
allow a supplier to modify its conservation standard up to eight percentage points. Two new
adjustments that can be applied to the City of Bakersfield's water system are Climate
Adjustment and Growth Adjustment.

Extended Water Conservation Regulation
Submitting Information to Adjust a Supplier's Conservation
Standard
With California still experiencing severe drought despite recent rains, on February 2, 2016 the
State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) adopted a revised emergency
regulation to ensure that urban water conservation continues in 2016. The February 2016
Emergency Regulation essentially extends the existing May 2015 Emergency Regulation
through October 2016 and maintains many of the same requirements. However, the
February 2016 Emergency Regulation also provides suppliers with more flexibility in meeting
their conservation requirements through adjustments and credits that allow a supplier to modify
its conservation standard up to eight percentage points.
1. Climate Adjustment: considers the climatic differences experienced throughout the
state;
2. Growth Adjustment: considers water - efficient growth experienced by urban areas; and
3. New, Local, Drought - Resilient Supply Credit: considers significant investments that
have been made by some suppliers toward creating new, local, drought - resilient
sources of potable water supply.
This fact sheet provides information to urban water suppliers on how to receive a conservation
standard adjustment, and the data required for the adjustments and credit.
How to Receive a Conservation Standard Adjustment
Conservation standards may be adjusted by submitting required information for verification
through the new on -line reporting tool at the DRINC Portal. The tool will be available beginning
the week of February 8, 2016 and will remain open through March 15, 2016. Suppliers may
submit information supporting any or all of the available credits and adjustments, though
adjustments and credits may be rejected where the information submitted does not support
them. The maximum reduction to a supplier's conservation standard through the combined
climate, growth, and new, local, drought - resilient water supply adjustments and credits is
capped at an eight percentage point reduction from any one supplier's otherwise - applicable
conservation standard, with no suppliers dropping below an eight percent conservation
standard. Information supporting adjustments to conservation standards must be
received on or before March 15, 2016.
The adjustments described below will be applied to a supplier's conservation standard
beginning March 2016 if the supplier has provided State Water Board staff all the necessary
data by February 22, 2016. For information received after February 22, 2016 but before
laSTATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD
1001 1 Street, Sacramento, CA 95814 • 918.741.5254 • Mailing Address: P.O. Box 100, Sacramento, CA 95812.0100 • www.waterboards.ca.gov
March 15, 2016, adjustments will be applied beginning April 2016. Information submitted after
March 15, 2016 will not be reviewed. All information supporting conservation standard
adjustments is subject to State Water Board review and conservation standard adjustments
may be rejected if the information does not support the adjustment or credit as identified in the
emergency regulation. Final conservation standards for the February 2016 Emergency
Regulation compliance period will be posted on the Emergency Water Conservation
website in April 2016.
Overview of Conservation Standards
The conservation standards continue to be based on increasing levels of residential gallons
per capita per day (R -GPCD) water use. This approach considers the relative per capita water
usage of each suppliers' service area and requires that those areas with higher per capita use
achieve proportionally greater reductions than those with low use, while lessening the
disparities in reduction requirements between agencies that have similar levels of water
consumption. Suppliers have been assigned a revised conservation standard that ranges
between eight percent and 36 percent based on their R -GPCD for the months of July -
September, 2014. These three months reflect the amount of water used for summer outdoor
irrigation, which provides the greatest opportunity for conservation savings. The revised
emergency regulation continues the reserved four percent conservation tier for those
suppliers meeting specific criteria relating to not experiencing drought conditions.
Conservation Standard Adjustments
1. Climate Adjustment
The climate adjustment accounts for the climatic differences experienced throughout the
state. The adjustment may reduce the conservation standard of those suppliers located in
the warmer regions of the State by up to four percentage points. The adjustment is
calculated as the percent deviation of the supplier's average service area
evapotranspiration (ETo) for the months of July - September from the statewide average for
the same months. The State Water Board calculated the statewide average ETo as
6.34 inches, which is the arithmetic mean of all suppliers' service area ETo for those
months. The climate adjustment ranges from a two to four percentage point decrease in an
urban water supplier's conservation standard as follows:
% Deviation of Supplier's Service Percentage Point
Area ETo from the Statewide Reduction in
Average ETo Conservation Standard
The State Water Board has calculated default climate adjustments for all urban water
suppliers, which are available on this draft list. The default climate adjustments use the
average service area average July - September ETo, as determined by the California
Irrigation Management Information System (CIMIS) Mapped ETo Zone for which the
supplier's service area has the greatest overlap. If a supplier chooses to use the default
climate adjustment, no further action is needed.
2
A supplier may choose to apply for an in -lieu climate adjustment. This means that in lieu of
using the State Water Board - determined service area average July - September ETo, each
supplier has the option to refine its service area ETo by using data from qualifying CIMIS
stations located within its service area. If no CIMIS station exists within the supplier's
service area, a weather station of comparable accuracy, meeting the period of record
requirements noted below, may be used. CIMIS data are available here.
What to Submit: To qualify for the in -lieu climate adjustment, the supplier needs to submit:
a. Calculated monthly average ETo values:
i. Service Area Average ETo July;
ii. Service Area Average ETo August;
iii. Service Area Average ETo September;
b. Supporting documentation for each station that includes:
i. Station ID number;
ii. Station location (coordinates);
iii. Monthly evapotranspiration, in inches per month, for July, August, and
September for each year used for either the five -year period of record or the
three -year continuous period of record;
iv. If the station is not CIMIS, provide evidence that the alternative weather station
is of comparable accuracy to CIMIS.
Supporting documentation must be provided to qualify for the in -lieu climate adjustment.
Supporting documentation provided by February 22, 2016 may be used to modify a water
supplier's conservation standard for March 2016. However, State Water Board staff may
delay the adjustment to April 2016 if the documentation provided is incomplete or subject to
further review. The State Water Board will use data reported by the supplier to calculate the
adjustment. The table below provides an example of the in -lieu climate adjustment
calculation.

2. Growth Adjustment
The growth adjustment accounts for water efficient growth experienced in a supplier's
service area since 2013. The adjustment is calculated as the product of the supplier's
conservation standard and the supplier's percent change in potable water production due to
growth since 2013, rounded to the nearest whole percentage point. The total volume of
water attributed to growth since 2013 is calculated as the sum of the number of new
permanent residents added since 2013 multiplied by the average residential water use per
person during February - October 2015 multiplied by 270 days (the duration of the
emergency regulation); and the sum of the number of new commercial, industrial and
institutional (CII) connections added since 2013 multiplied by the average CII water use per
connection during February - October 2015.
What to submit: To qualify for the growth adjustment a supplier needs to submit:
a. Number of new permanent residents added since January 1, 2013;
b. Number of new CII connections added since January 1, 2013;
c. Average CII water use per CII connection February -October 2015.
Supporting documentation must be made available upon request and may be uploaded to
the DRINC Portal. The State Water Board will use data reported by the supplier to calculate
the adjustment. As with the climate adjustment, satisfactory data supplied by February 22,
2016 for State Water Board staff review will be used to adjust a supplier's conservation
standard for March 2016. Incomplete information or information submitted after
February 22, 2016 will be used to adjust a supplier's conservation standard beginning in
April 2016.The table below provides an example of the growth adjustment calculation.

3. New, Local, Drought - Resilient Supply Credit
Any supplier that obtains at least one percent of its total potable water production from a
qualifying new local, drought - resilient water supply, including those suppliers that contract
for, or otherwise financially invest in, water from a new local, drought - resilient source of
supply, developed after 2013, is eligible for a reduction to its conservation standard. The
adjustment is calculated as a one percentage point reduction to an urban water supplier's
conservation standard, up to an eight percentage point maximum reduction, for each
percent of the urban water supplier's total potable water production that comes from a
qualifying new local, drought - resilient water supply. The supplier must demonstrate that
the use of that supply does not reduce the water available to another legal user of water or
the environment. One example is indirect potable reuse of wastewater in coastal regions
where the water would not have otherwise been discharged into a water body that others
use as a source of supply.
Where a supplier financially invests in a shared new, local, drought - resilient source of
supply but does not actually receive water from that source -- instead freeing that water up
for another supplier to use - -the agency that does not actually receive the water may also be
eligible for this credit. In no case will the total amount of credits exceed what would have
been available had all suppliers received credit only for water actually received.
What to submit: To qualify for the drought - resilient source credit a supplier shall:
a. Report the total annual potable water production from a local, drought - resilient
source of supply (developed after January 1, 2013), in gallons;
b. Submit a certification (a short-form that is signed by the supplier's general manager
or equivalent) with supporting documents that verifies the following:
i. A description of the local, drought - resilient source of supply, e.g., how water is
produced, the owner of the facility. If the supplier is not receiving water directly
from the facility, but is applying based on being an investor, provide evidence
of the amount and portion of the investment being made by the supplier,
relative to the whole project.
ii. Total amount of water supplied in gallons. This amount must be pro -rated as a
percent of the total production of the source /facility if there is more than one
supplier using the same source /facility. The pro -rated portions of all suppliers
claiming adjustments for a single source /facility may not add up to more than
100 percent.
iii. The date the water supply started providing water to suppliers and became an
operational facility.
iv. Evidence that the use of that supply does not reduce the water available to
another legal user of water or the environment
Supporting documentation must be provided by March 15, 2016 to qualify for the new,
local, drought resilient water supply credit. (This credit will not be available to adjust
March 2016 conservation standards).The State Water Board will use data and supporting
documentation reported by the supplier to calculate the adjustment. The table below
provides an example of the in -lieu climate adjustment calculation.
