Even though there is no longer a conservation target for the City's Domestic Water Service Area, the City is still recommending that conservation efforts by our residents continue due to historically low groundwater levels. The graphs on the following page show the water usage for the City's Domestic Water Service Area from August 2017 through August 2018 and the monthly percentage reduction (or increase) for the service area for the same period compared to 2013. From August 2017 through August 2018 the City's Domestic Water Service Area saved 4,040 acre feet compared to 2013 quantities. The cumulative water savings over this time period is about 8.1 % reduction from 2013 quantities. The water savings amounts stated are for total water deliveries in the system. It should be noted that the City's Domestic Water System has grown over the past five years. In 2013 the population served by the City domestic water system was approximately 135,500 residents and in 2018, the population served is about 150,000 residents. This is a population increase of about 11% over the five-year period. Therefore, considering the population growth in the City's system and water use over these time periods equates to a water use reduction of approximately 17% per person. „yy/mnN�N a 2,500,000 2,300,000 2,100,000 1,900,000 LL ,700,000 w LA 01,500,000 w w Uj L;L,300,000 2 1,100,000 900,000 700,000 500,000 ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT WATER BOARD Domestic Water Use Comparison 2,475,799 2,475,799 —0-2013 METERED USE (CCF) 5,20 2,284,54 —*—CURRENT METERED USE (CCF) 2,30 1,297 2, 17,466 2,082,53 2,073,263 1,902,817 1,939,473 1,672,86 1,687,363 1,712,63 1,494,56 1,357,244 1,170, 69 1,186,120 1,187, 27 939,320 840,721 827,713 T/ 893,447 �-- 754,198 Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar 1,027,259 June Jul B •Ke �S 4 ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT FO WATER BOARD cR��� Metered Percent Reduction 25% 20% 21% 15% 14% 13% 12% 11% z 10% 7% 9% O 7% 7% F- U 0 5% LU CC Z 0% U Aug Sep Oct Nov Dei jc Mar Apr May June Jul Aug 0% LU -5% -10% -15% -20% -13% BAK O� �.coVoe� eeR ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT cqL O WATER BOARD MEETING DATE: October 10, 2018 AGENDA SECTION: New Business ITEM: 7.A. TO: Bob Smith, Chairman Jacquie Sullivan, Member Ken Weir, Member APPROVED FROM: Art Chianello, Water Resources Manager DEPARTMENT HEAD -3i DATE: October 3, 2018 SUBJECT: Update on the TCP Mitigation Project RECOMMENDATION: For Board Information and for Board to approve Amendment to Cal Water Agreement be sent to City Council BACKGROUND: The State Water Board has adopted a new maximum contaminant level (MCL) for the groundwater contaminant 1,2,3 - Trichloropropane (TCP), The City is in the process of installing treatment infrastructure at certain impacted City -owned wells and is making other improvements to the City's domestic water system. The City has identified and is working towards retrofitting 35 wells in the system that need TCP treatment. Currently 19 of the wells equipped with TCP treatment have been deemed by the City to be substantially complete, and are on-line and are providing water to the City's system. The remainder of the wells will come on-line by the end of 2018, with the exception of one (1) site that is delayed due to property acquisition issues, The City and Cal Water will be working closely to ensure that the City's system maintains compliance with the State requirements for TCP and continues to provide adequate water pressure to City customers. Also, the City Council had previously approved on April 9, 2018 an agreement with Cal Water to perform well startup services for the first group of wells. An amendment to that agreement extending the term and compensation is now required for Cal Water to perform startup services for the final group of wells. Staff recommends Amendment to Cal Water Agreement be sent to City Council for the appropriation of funds in the amount of $75,000 from the Water Enterprise Fund balance to the Water Resources Capital Improvement Program budget within the Domestic Water Fund. There is no impact to the General Fund. �1rlrNrnnnai �" J �Hirmrnuuu ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT WATER BOARD CBK 55 - GAC Treatment Vessels AGREEMENT NO. AMENDMENT NO.
