RESOLUTION NO. 92-06
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF THE YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT
IMPLEMENTING LEVEL 1
OF THE
EMERGENCY WATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
AND RESCINDING RESOLUTION 91-12
WHEREAS, from year to year, the supply of water available to the Yorba Linda Water District
(District) from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan)
is affected by variability in the Colorado River and the Feather River watersheds;
and,
WHEREAS, precipitation in 1992 in the Feather River watershed has improved the runoff and
snowpack conditions compared to the last five years; and,
WHEREAS, the Department of Water Resources has evaluated these circumstances and
determined that it can deliver 45% of the amount of the order placed for State Water
Project water; and,
WHEREAS, winter rains in southern California have reduced early season water demands and
thus saved imported water supplies which Metropolitan can use later in the year;
and,
WHEREAS, Metropolitan has determined that under these conditions it can provide deliveries to
its member agencies at the level of Stage I of the Incremental Interruption and
Conservation Program (IICP); and,
WHEREAS, Stage I of Metropolitan's IICP calls for voluntary reductions from normal water use
of 10 percent without monetary penalties for excess water consumption; and,
WHEREAS, the Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC), as a member agency of
Metropolitan, has adopted a Resolution implementing Stage I on its member
agencies; and,
WHEREAS, the District has adopted Ordinance 91-02 which requires the Board of Directors to
adopt, by separate Resolution, a particular Level of water conservation, and
conservation targets and practices; and,
WHEREAS, in consideration of revised policies adopted by Metropolitan and MWDOC, the
Board of Directors desires to revise the District's Level 1 conservation targets
adopted in Resolution 91-12.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Directors of the Yorba Linda Water
District does hereby resolve, determine and order as follows:
Section 1: Level 1, Voluntary Conservation Measures. The Board of Directors
hereby declares that restrictions on water supplies to Metropolitan Water
District still exist. To meet the water supply conditions within the District, the
Board of Directors hereby establishes voluntary water conservation goals and

Section 3: Water Conservation Practices. The Voluntary water conservation
practices attached hereto as Exhibit "A" are now in effect.
Section 4: Public Information. The District shall expand a public information

precious natural resource will allow the conservation goals to be reached now
and in the future.
Section 5: Effective Date. This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon
adoption by the Board of Directors and shall remain in effect until rescinded,
