DISCUSSION ITEMS
2.Drought Response, Water Conservation/Administrative Penalty Ordinances, and
Community Outreach Efforts
General Manager Marc Marcantonio stated that the District received verification that
their self-certification was approved by the State at a 0% conservation goal. He
noted that we are still in a declared State of Emergency for Drought through
January 31, 2017 and reminded everyone that our self-imposed Conservation Goal
remains at 10%.
General Manager Marcantonio announced that a new Urban Advisory Workgroup
(UAW) has been formed by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR)
and State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) to develop “long-term water
conservation rules in response to Executive Order B-37-16.” The local
representatives will be Joe Berg of Municipal Water District of Orange County and
Joone Lopez General Manager of Moulton Niguel Water District.
Julia Lawson, resident, suggested the City provide contact information on its
website to the SWRCB and UAW.
3.Options for Use of District’s Administrative Penalties
General Manager Marcantonio said that the District was still funding conservation
positions with the penalty monies and did not suggest disposing of it until the State
of Emergency ends. He made several suggestions of how the funds can be used
including for water conservation rebates, smart timer purchases, AMI technology,
water conservation software, conservation education, customer leak detection
education or equipment and services. He emphasized that the monies should be
used for the community’s benefit.
4.Water Conservation Programs and Incentives for District Customers
General Manager Marcantonio announced that the District would be holding a
series of workshops in the Spring on their Strategic Plan which will address water
conservation programs.
Upon the request of Mayor Tom Lindsey, Public Works Director/City Engineer
Michael Wolfe explained the different and varied types of drought tolerant palettes
the City is considering and said that water savings is being accomplished not only
with plants but also with irrigation control devices and different hardscapes.
