MEETING DATE: February 12, 2020 AGENDA SECTION: Reports ITEM: 6. A. TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Bob Smith, Chairman Chris Parlier, Member Ken Weir, Member Art Chianello, Water Resources Manager February 7, 2020 APPROVED DEPARTMENT HEAD aC Update on Water Usage in. the City's Domestic Water Service Area cumulative 2019 RECOMMENDATION: For Board information BACKGROUND: On April 7, 2017, the Governor ended the Drought State of Emergency for California's water purveyors. 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 for 2019 to -date and the monthly percentage reduction for the service area for the same period compared to 2013. In 2019, the City's Domestic Water Service Area has saved 4199.86 acre feet compared to 2013 quantities. The cumulative water savings over this time period is about 9.50% 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 six years. In 2013 the population served by the City domestic water system in December was approximately 136,975 residents and in December 2019, the population served was about 154,244 residents. This is a population increase of about 11.20% over the six-year period. Therefore, considering the population growth in the City's system and the reduced amount of water used during 2019, water use reduction equates to approximately 14.20% per person per day.
