CITY MGR. Voluntary 10% Water Conservation Effort Discussion of MET'S Declaration of a
TITLE:
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
RECOMMEND TO BOARD OF DIRECTORS THAT A STAGE I VOLUNTARY WATER CONSERVATION EFFORT BE DECLARED.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The Metropolitan Water District Board of Directors met on Friday,
March 27th, and declared a 10% voluntary water conservation effort.
This latest declaration is the result of the Department of Water Resources increasing State Water Contractors deliveries from 35% to
45%, which includes MET.
It is anticipated that the CWA will pass a similar resolution to reduce to a voluntary 10% conservation effort. As a result, staff is requesting the Water Commission to recommend to the Board of Directors the declaration of a 10% voluntary water conservation effort from the District water users. However, in the event that the CWA maintains a mandatory 10% water conservation requirement no additional action need be taken by the Board since we are presently is in a Stage I1 Water Alert.
This item will be discussed by staff during the meeting.
