CONSENT CALENDAR
Ordinances
Water Usage Regulations. In 2015 in response to the ongoing drought, the City
Item 8c.
Council adopted water regulations that in part placed limitations on the days of the
week outdoor irrigation could be utilized. The regulations allowed outdoor water three
times per week, depending on the property address. In spring 2017, Governor Jerry
Brown lifted the statewide drought emergency. In turn, City staff evaluated it existing
drought regulations and recommended to the Water Board that the three-day per-
week water restrictions be lifted. The Water Board considered this recommendation
and voted to recommend to the full Council the three-day per-week watering
restrictions be lifted. All existing state drought regulations, including irrigation water
being applied onto sidewalks or paving, remain in effect. Staff is requesting the Council
give first reading to amend the City’s water use regulations, removing the three-day
per-week watering restrictions. If approved, the item will be placed on a future Council
agenda for second reading.
Agreements
TCP Mitigation Project. Over the past several Council meetings, numerous items
Item 8q.
have been approved by the City Council in preparation for the City to come into
compliance with soon to be adopted State water regulations regarding TCP. TCP is a
contaminant and is found in groundwater in California, especially in the Central Valley
and in the Bakersfield area. The State’s regulations will require the City make
modifications to many of its water wells by the first quarter of 2018 to be in compliance.
This item requests approval of a $1.2 million agreement with a contractor to begin the
deign process to equip 27 City water wells with the necessary equipment to treat the
TCP. This is the first step to design the necessary infrastructure to meet the State
regulations. After design, the construction phase to install treat at the 27 well sites is
estimated to cost $35 million. Additional agreements with be brought to the City
Council as the project progresses.
DEFERRED BUSINESS
