The Plan presents a comparison of projected water supplies to water demands during normal, single-dry, and multiple-dry years. This chapter provides an overview of the Act and descriptions of agency coordination, public participation, Plan adoption, resource maximization and import minimization, and Plan organization. 1.1 Urban Water Management Planning Act This 2010 Plan has been prepared in accordance with the Urban Water Management Planning Act (Act), as amended, California Water Code Division 6, Part 2.6, Sections 10610 through 10657. The Act became part of the California Water Code with the passage of Assembly Bill 797 during the 1983-1984 regular session of the California legislature. The Act requires every urban water supplier that provides water for municipal purposes to more than 3,000 connections or supplying more than 3,000 acre-feet (ac-ft) of water annually to adopt and submit a plan every five years to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR). The Act was most recently amended in November 2009 with the adoption of Senate Bill (SB) X7-7. The most significant revision is the requirement for establishing per capita water use targets and an option to delay 2010 Plan adoption to July 1, 2011. The Act states that these urban water suppliers should make every effort to assure the appropriate level of reliability in its water service is sufficient to meet the needs of its various categories of customers during normal, dry, and multiple dry years. The Act describes the contents of the 2010 Plan as well as how urban water suppliers should adopt the Plan. 1.2 Agency Coordination The Act requires CMWD to coordinate the preparation of its plan with other appropriate agencies in the area, including other water suppliers that share a common source, water management agencies, and relevant public agencies, to the extent practicable. While preparing the Plan, CMWD attended workshops conducted by DWR to discuss the requirements of the Act and attended meetings with the San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA), CMWD's wholesale water supplier. The SDCWA's 2010 Urban Water Management Plan should be consulted for details regarding CMWD's wholesale water supplies. CMWD also worked closely with the City of Carlsbad's Community & Economic Development Department in the preparation and review of Plan elements. Table 1-1 provides a summary of CMWD's coordination with the appropriate agencies. In preparing the recycled water elements of this Plan, CMWD consulted with the agencies responsible for the existing and potential sources of recycled water, including the Vallecitos Water District, the Leucadia Wastewater District, and the Encina Wastewater Authority (EWA). 1-1 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Section 1 Table 1-1.

DWR Table 1 1.3 Public Participation and Plan Adoption CMWD encouraged community and public involvement in the Plan. CMWD held a public hearing on May 24, 2011, that provided an opportunity for CMWD's customers including social, cultural, and economic community groups to learn about the water supply situation and the plans to continue to provide a reliable water supply for the future. The hearing was an opportunity for people to ask questions regarding the current situation and the viability of future plans. The hearing also included a discussion of the per capita water use targets. A 60-day notice of the public hearing was provided to San Diego County and adjacent cities and other entities on March 17, 2011. The notification list is included in Appendix A. Public hearing notifications were published and copies of the 2010 Plan were made available for public review at the City of Carlsbad's Faraday Center, 1635 Faraday Avenue; at the Carlsbad City Libraries located at 1250 Carlsbad Village Drive and 1775 Dove Lane; at the Carlsbad City Clerk's Office, 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive, and on the City of Carlsbad's website at www.carlsbadca.gov two weeks before the public hearing. A copy of the published Notice of Public Hearing is included in Appendix A. This Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on May 24, 2011. A copy of the adopted resolution is provided in Appendix B. The 2010 Plan will be submitted to DWR, the California State Library, and San Diego County within 30 days after adoption. The Plan will be available for public review on the City of Carlsbad's web site within 30 days after filing a copy of the Plan with DWR. The CMWD shall implement the adopted Plan in accordance with the schedule described in this Plan. 1-2 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Section 1 1.4 Resources Maximization and Import Minimization The minimization of imported water supplies and maximization of local water supplies continues to be a priority for CMWD. CMWD has increased the use of recycled water, planned for additional groundwater and surface water, implemented water conservation measures, and participated in the planning of a local seawater desalination project as steps to maximize the use of local water resources. Furthermore, CMWD has supported and helped fund efforts by the SDCWA to minimize dependency on imported water supplies. CMWD is participating in the San Diego Integrated Regional Water Management Plan. By working to integrate water resources planning across jurisdictional boundaries, CMWD maximizes water resources. CMWD is also participating with eight agencies developing a regional recycled water supply and distribution system referred to as the "North San Diego County Regional Recycled Water Project". In the near term this regional project potentially could supply a demand of 16,554 ac-ft/yr. Coordination efforts are now in process to obtain funding oppurtunities for the regional project. For CMWD this would include Phase III of its recycled water master plan. 1.5 Plan Organization Section 2 provides a description of the service area, climate, and water system. Section 3 presents historical and projected water use. Water supplies are described in Section 4. Section 5 addresses recycled water. Section 6 describes CMWD's water conservation efforts. Section 7 provides a comparison of future water supplies to demands. The appendices provide relevant supporting documents. DWR has provided a checklist of the items that must be addressed in each Plan based upon the Act. This checklist makes it simple to identify exactly where in the Plan each item has been addressed. The checklist is completed for this Plan and provided in Appendix F. It references the sections and page numbers where the specific items can be found. The tables that are recommended by DWR are identified in this Plan with their applicable DWR table number using a footnote (DWR, 2011). 1-3 ir Section 2 Description of Existing Water System This chapter describes CMWD's service area and water system. It contains descriptions of the service area, climate, and water system. 2.1 Description of Service Area CMWD covers an area of 20,682 acres, approximately 32.32 square miles, and provides water services to most of the City of Carlsbad. CMWD's boundary, which defines the study area for this Plan, is shown on Figure 2-1. As shown in Figure 2-1, CMWD does not serve the entire City of Carlsbad. Sanitary sewer collection service within the CMWD service area is provided by City of Carlsbad and Leucadia Wastewater District. Wastewater treatment is provided by the Encina Wastewater Authority (EWA) through the Encina Water Pollution Control Facility (EWPCF), located in Carlsbad. Carlsbad's housing stock composition consists of mostly single-family homes, with some multi-family homes, and a few mobile homes. Single-family residences generally contain larger landscaped areas, predominantly planted in turf, and require more water for outdoor application in comparison to other types of housing. The general characteristics of multi-family and mobile homes limit their outdoor landscaping and water use, although some condominium and apartment developments do contain green belt areas. 2.2 Description of Water System CMWD currently receives all of its potable water supply from the SDCWA through four connections. Water is delivered through 440 miles of pipeline, 57 pressure regulating stations, five pump stations, ten storage tanks, and one reservoir. The total operational storage for CMWD is 245.5 million gallons (MG), which includes the 195 MG Maerkle Dam Reservoir. 2.3 Climate Carlsbad's climate is characteristically Mediterranean with mild temperatures year round. This mild climate is derived equally from the warm ocean water being pulled north from Mexico and from its subtropical, semi-desert locale. The result is temperatures averaging 58 degrees in January and 73 degrees in July, with an average annual rainfall of about 10 inches. 2-1 San Dieguito Water District Oliverhain Municipal Water District LEGEND Agency Boundaries for Water Service NONE Carlsbad Municipal Water District •Hi City of Oceanside Olivenhain Municipal Water District San Dieguito Water District H Vallecitos Water District Vista Irrigation District J Carlsbad City Limits Other Freeway Major Roads Water Bodies A 6,000 FIGURE 2-1 Study Area Carlsbad Municipal Water District 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Section 2 2.4 Water System Background Water demands for the area were initially supplied by the privately held Carlsbad Mutual Water Company and Terramar Water Company through the utilization of local groundwater and surface water supplies. The Carlsbad Mutual Water Company constructed nine wells in the Mission Basin of the San Luis Rey River, booster pumping stations, storage tanks, an earthen dam (Lake Calavera), and transmission facilities to supply residential, commercial and agricultural users. The Terramar Water Company constructed four wells located in Agua Hedionda Creek (referred to as the Cannon Well Field), a second connection to the Carlsbad Mutual Water Company's pipeline from Lake Calavera at El Camino Real, a reservoir, plus a distribution system to supply residential, commercial, and agricultural users. The Carlsbad Mutual Water Company's groundwater wells began being developed prior to 1914 with rights to 2,382 acre-feet per year (ac-ft/yr). In addition, a license was obtained (terminable by the State Division of Water Rights, Department of Water Resources) for another 1,000 ac-ft/yr. A total of 9 wells were eventually constructed in the Mission Basin of the San Luis Rey River located in the City of Oceanside generally near the intersection of Mission Avenue and Fousat Road. Prior to 1942, local groundwater was the only developed source of water for the Carlsbad Mutual Water Company. In September 1941, Carlsbad Mutual Water Company completed construction of an earthen dam (Calavera Dam), which captured local surface water runoff creating Lake Calavera. Lake Calavera also included a 2 million gallons per day (mgd) water filtration plant. A permit to divert 150 ac-ft/yr from Calavera Creek was obtained. Beginning in 1950, four wells were constructed in an area referred to as the Cannon Well Field which is approximately the property where the Rancho Carlsbad Golf Course is located. The groundwater pumped from these wells was the original supply for the Terramar Water Company and has safe yield capacity estimated atf 400 ac-ft/yr. This groundwater was obtained from the Carlsbad hydrologic unit of the San Diego Region, a designation assigned by DWR. The four wells remain, but are in a state of disrepair and will need to eventually be removed and new replacement wells constructed. The City of Carlsbad was incorporated in 1952, and the assets of the Carlsbad Mutual Water Company and Terramar Water Company were purchased by the City of Carlsbad in an agreement dated August 30, 1957. The City operated and maintained both water systems from 1958 to 1962. CMWD was formed as a vehicle to bring imported water to the unincorporated areas surrounding the City of Carlsbad and to wholesale water to the newly formed City of Carlsbad. CMWD's first meeting was held on March 22,1954, and CMWD became a member of the SDCWA that same year. CMWD began receiving imported water deliveries in 1955 through existing aqueduct connections located in the City of Escondido. CMWD constructed a pipeline in 1956 to convey imported water directly to the City of Carlsbad and unincorporated areas within CMWD's service area. In 1962, CMWD constructed Maerkle Dam (previously called Squires Dam) with a capacity of 600 ac-ft in the Agua Hedionda Basin. CMWD also obtained a permit for surface water rights tributary to Maerkle Dam in the amount of 25 ac-ft/yr. As demands for water increased, seawater intrusion into the groundwater supply resulted in the gradual degradation of groundwater quality in the Mission Basin of San Luis Rey River. The total dissolved solids (TDS) content of the groundwater in the Mission Basin increased to the point where treatment would be required. At the sametime, lower-cost imported water became available through CMWD. As a result of the availability of this alternative supply of water, the City of Carlsbad ceased extracting groundwater and suspended use of local surface water supplies. The local surface water and groundwater supplies were suspended by the end of 1962 due to poor water quality and the ability to directly supply lower-cost imported water to customers. As a result, the water filtration plant at Lake Calavera was dismantled because of regulations requiring that surface waters be fully treated prior to introduction into a potable water system. The cost to construct facilities to treat the small amount of infrequently occurring surface water was determined to be much greater than the comparable cost of imported water. The Mission 2-3 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Section 2 Basin wells were beyond repair and subsequently removed by 2005 in accordance with California Department of Public Health requirements. In an agreement dated May 25,1983, the City of Carlsbad conveyed all of its functional water responsibilities for the provision of water service to CMWD including all the water facilities and groundwater and surface water rights purchased from Carlsbad Mutual Water Company and Terramar Water Company in 1957. This included all existing water facilities and responsibility for planning, financing, and construction of all major capital facilities necessary to provide potable water service within CMWD and portions of the City of Carlsbad not located in other retail water service agencies. On January 1,1990, the CMWD became a subsidiary district of the City of Carlsbad through an agreement between both agencies approved by the City Council on April 25,1989. The Carlsbad City Council acting as CMWD's Board of Directors governs CMWD. CMWD's current water supplies consist of imported water from SDCWA, and recycled water that has been utilized as a supply source since 1993. The imported water is purchased by SDCWA from Metropolitan Water District (MWD) and is treated at MWD's Skinner Filtration Plant in Riverside County and SDCWA's Twin Oaks Water Treatment Plant in San Marcos, and conveyed to CMWD through SDCWA aqueducts. 2-4 Section 3 Historical and Projected Water Use Water use and production records, combined with projections of population, employment, and urban development, provide the basis for estimating future water supply requirements. This chapter presents CMWD's current and projected population, customer connections, and water use, as well as the lower income household water use and per capita demand target. 3.1 Population In order to be able to provide for CMWD 's future water demands and water use characteristics, it is important to have reasonable estimates of future population totals and future regional trends. The population projections presented in Table 3-1 were developed for CMWD's Water Master Plan that is currently in the process of being finalized. Water use in CMWD's service area is closely linked to the local economy, population and weather. Over the last half century, a prosperous local economy has stimulated population growth, which in turn produced a relatively steady increase in water demand. However, fluctuating economic and weather conditions in the 1990s and lingering effects from the 1987-1992 drought resulted in deviations from historic demand patterns. By 1999, a new combination of natural population increases and job creation surfaced as the primary drivers of water consumption increases. The recession that started in 2008 brought an increase in unemployment and decrease in housing prices that has dampened population growth and water use. In addition, CMWD adopted a residential tiered water rate in July 2009 which further dampened demand by the residential population. Year Service Area Population Table .' 2010 84,838 M.

Tables 3-2 to 3-6 present the current and projected potable water sales and number of connections by customer sector for calendar years 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020, 2025, 2030, and 2035. CMWD's demand projections presented in this section meet CMWD's gallons per capita per day (gpcd) demand targets that are described in Section 3.3. This section describes the categories of water use and presents the projected water demands by customer category, water sales to others, other water uses and losses, low income water use and total water use. 3-1 ,53 2010 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Section 3 3.2.1 Residential Water Use Residential water use represents the largest water use category for CMWD and includes both single- family and multi-family categories. Residential water consumption is composed of both indoor and outdoor uses. Indoor water use includes sanitation, bathing, laundry, cooking and drinking. Most outdoor water use is to meet landscaping irrigation requirements. Other minor outdoor uses include car washing, surface cleaning, and similar activities. 3.2.2 Commercial/lndustrial/lnstitutional Water Use Commercial water demands consists of generally incidental uses necessary for the operation of a business or institution, such as drinking, sanitation and landscape irrigation. Major commercial water users include service industries such a restaurants, car washes, laundries and hotels. Statistics indicate that almost 60 percent of Carlsbad's employment base is in the commercial sector. Industrial water consumption consists of a wide range of uses, including product processing and small- scale equipment cooling, sanitation and air conditioning. Water-intensive industrial uses in Carlsbad, such as electronics manufacturing and biotech research, typically require smaller amounts of water when compared to other water-intensive industries found elsewhere in Southern California, such as petroleum refineries, chemical processors, and canneries. Institutional water use consists primarily of schools and churches within the service area. Water use characteristics tend to be similar to commercial uses but based on average daily attendance. Outdoor use also tends to be somewhat higher for landscaped areas and ball fields. However, many of these areas tend to be metered separately and categorized as irrigation. The tourism industry in Carlsbad affects water usage by not only the number of visitors, but also through the expansion of service industries and attractions, which tend to be larger outdoor water users. Tourism is primarily concentrated in the summer months and affects seasonal demand and peaking. Population forecasts do not specifically account for tourism, but tourism is reflected in the economic forecasts and causes per capita use to increase. 3.2.3 Agricultural Water Use Agricultural water use has been decreasing in Carlsbad for the last two decades to where it represents a very small portion of CMWD's water demand. For example, in 1991 CMWD sold 1,744 ac-ft to agriculture. By 2000, the agriculture consumption had declined to 1,204 ac-ft and for 2010 the consumption reduced to 420 ac-ft. This sector experiences wide seasonal fluctuations due to weather conditions and timing of the growing seasons, and consists primarily of commercial strawberry and flower fields, and wholesale nursery operations. 3.2.4 Irrigation Sector The effects of seasonal differences will have an obvious influence on irrigation demands. Just behind commercial water use, irrigation is the third largest water use in CMWD's service area. Development within the City of Carlsbad over the last decade and a half has brought about the creation of a large amount of irrigated areas with various uses, including medians, slopes and parkways. The City of Carlsbad adopted a Landscape Manual in November 1990 to assist development applicants and landscape architects in understanding the City's policies toward landscaping. Specifically, the manual requires that irrigation systems be designed to provide the optimum amount of water for plant growth without causing soil erosion or runoff. At the same time, the document requires that landscape design will include water conservation and alternative (non-potable) water sources as primary criteria. A revised landscape manual is now in preparation and is expected to be completed in 2011. In May 2010 the City of Carlsbad adopted a Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance in accordance with the water 3-2 2010 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Section 3 Conservation in Landscaping Act of 2006 (Assembly Bill 1881). This promotes consistency in landscape regulations among land use authorities throughout San Diego County. The regulations reflect improvements for landscape and irrigation design plans, irrigation technologies, and water management for achievable water savings. Table 3-2.

Unaccounted-for water can also result from meter inaccuracies. The actual and projected water demand for other uses including recycled water and system losses (unaccounted-for water) are shown in Table 3-8. Recycled water is used by irrigation customers to water golf courses, median strips and other landscaped areas. Overall, recycled water use represents 16 percent of total water use in the CMWD's service area. Recycled water use tends to be lower in the winter months because of less irrigation demand for landscape. Discussions are taking place considering the potential sale of recycled water in the amounts of 687 ac- ft/yr to Olivenhain Municipal Water District, 1,158 ac-ft/yr to Vista Irrigation District, 255 ac-ft/yr to the City of Oceanside, and 557 ac-ft/yr to the Vallecitos Water District. 3-5 2010 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Section 3 Table 3-8.

CMWD's projections of future wholesale water that will be supplied by the SDCWA do not exactly match up with the projections developed by SDCWA in their 2010 Plan, but are relatively similar. These differences are a result of different methodologoes and assumptions used to develop the water demand projections. 3-6 2010 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Section 3 Table 3-10.

Known as SBX7-7, the legislation sets a goal of achieving a 20 percent reduction in urban per capita water use statewide by 2020. DWR developed technical methodologies to guide the consistent development by urban water suppliers of their baseline per capita water use and targets. SBX7-7 requires urban water suppliers to establish per capita water use targets by using one of four methods: . Method 1: A per capita water use by 2020 that is eighty percent of the urban retail water supplier's baseline per capita daily water use using a 10-year average starting no earlier than 1995. Since CMWD's recycled water is greater than 10 percent of 2008 retail water delivery as shown in Table 3- 12, a 10 to 15-year baseline period can be used that ends no later than December 31, 2004. A 15- year period from 1990 to 2004 provides a baseline of 256.6 gpcd, as shown in Table 3-13. The resulting per capita demand target for 2020 is 205.3 gallons per capita per day (gpcd), with an interim 2015 target of 231 gpcd. No adjustment is required since the 15-year baseline target is less than 95 percent of the 5-year baseline, as shown in Table 3-14. « Method 2: The per capita daily water use that is estimated using the sum of several defined performance standards. This method requires quantifying the landscaped area and the baseline commercial, industrial, and institutional (CM) use. . Method 3: Ninety-five percent of the applicable state hydrologic region target, as set forth in the DWR Guidebook (DWR, 2011). CMWD, located in DWR's South Coast Hydrologic Region Number 4, has a year 2020 target of 95% of 149 gpcd, which is 142 gpcd. 3-7 2010 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Section 3 . Method 4: A provisional method that was developed by DWR where the target is based on indoor residential, CM, outdoor, and water loss components. Using the Provisional Method 4 Target Calculator provided by DWR with a Cll water use in 1997 of 3,241 ac-ft gives a target of 207.1 gpcd. An urban water supplier must select one of the methods to set their per capita water use target. Water suppliers may choose to change the selected method until 2015. CMWD has selected Method 4 for establishing the 2020 per capita water use target of 207 gpcd. Since 2007, CMWD's per capita water use has been experiencing a decline partially due to increased retail water cost, increasing use of water conservation measures by customers responding to drought conditions, and poor economic conditions. As shown in Table 3-13, the CMWD's per capita water use in 2010 was already below the 2020 target. However, this 2010 level of water use may be temporary and a partial rebound to prior per capita water use levels may occur. Recent decisions may increase demand. For example, in Apil 2011 the Governor of California terminated the State's drought proclamation. This was followed by the MWD Board which teminated implementation of their 2010/11 Water Supply Allocation Plan Level 2 allocation and reaffirming Baseline Water Use Efficiency Condition for their region on April 12, 2011. CMWD's approach to meeting the 2020 per capita water use target has several elements consisting of increased saturation into the customer base of low flow plumbing devices and fixtures, continued implementation of demand management measures, the water use reductions that occur with the increased costs of water, and the increased use of recycled water. Recycled water is excluded from gross water use in determining per capita water use according to the DWR guidance. CMWD's water conservation efforts are described in Section 6. 3-8 2010 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Section 3 Table 3-12.

The imported water is conveyed into the area via MWD and SDCWA facilities. Upon its formation in 1954, CMWD joined the SDCWA to acquire the right to purchase and distribute imported water throughout its service area. The SDCWA has 24 member agencies, including CMWD, and is the regional wholesaler of imported water in San Diego County. 4.1.1 MWD of Southern California The MWD was created in 1928 following the passage of the Metropolitan Water District Act by the California Legislature to provide supplemental water for cities and communities on the south coastal plain of California. The MWD has 26 member agencies including the SDCWA, and covers an area which includes all, or portions, of Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego Counties. MWD serves as a water wholesaler, and provides water to its member agencies from both the Colorado River and the State Water Project. MWD's water supplies and management programs are discussed in their 2010 Regional Urban Water Management Plan. 4.1.2 San Diego County Water Authority The SDCWA was organized on June 9,1944 under the County Water Authority Act for the express purpose of importing Colorado River Water into San Diego County. The SDCWA annexed to MWD in 1946 and is now represented on the MWD Board by four directors, as its largest customer. SDCWA purchases water from MWD and other sources for resale to its 24 member agencies. CMWD is one of 24 member agencies of the SDCWA. Each member agency is autonomous and is represented on the Board of Directors, setting local policies and water pricing structures. The representatives on the Board of Directors are appointed by each member agency and the number of representatives for each agency is based on a ratio of each member's assessed valuation compared to the total of all member agencies. CMWD presently has 2 Board members on the 36-member Board of Directors. Member agency status entitles CMWD to directly purchase water from SDCWA on a wholesale basis. CMWD also looks to the SDCWA to insure, to the best of its ability, that adequate amounts of imported water will be available to satisfy future potable water requirements. SDCWA's water supplies and management programs are discussed in their 2010 Urban Water Management Plan. Table 4-1 presents the wholesale water supplies that CMWD projects it needs. 4-1 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Section 4 Table 4-1.

Prior to 1957, the Carlsbad Mutual Water Company supplied local surface water from Lake Calavera and groundwater from the Mission Basin to the City of Carlsbad. In August 1957, the water rights and other assets of the Carlsbad Mutual Water Company were purchased by the City of Carlsbad. In May 1983, through an agreement, these local surface water and groundwater rights were transferred to CMWD by the City of Carlsbad. This included rights to Mission Basin of the San Luis Rey River Valley of 5 cubic feet per second (cfs) (to 2,382 ac-ft) of groundwater, pre-1914 appropriative rights, and an additional 750 ac-ft/yr, up to 5 cfs, that was permitted in 1938. The Carlsbad Mutual Water Company held a license with the State Division of Water Rights for another 1,000 ac-ft annually. Additionally, there were surface water rights for 150 ac-ft annually which were held from Calavera Creek. The original license was for irrigation purposes and was later changed to recreational and fire protection purposes. CMWD obtained a permit for surface water in the amount of 25 ac-ft from Agua Hedionda Creek. Table 4-2 identifies the groundwater basins in the vicinity of CMWD according to DWR Bulletin 118. The Batiquitos Lagoon Valley Groundwater Basin is the only basin located in CMWD's service area. The San Luis Rey Valley Groundwater Basin is located north of CMWD and the San Marcos Valley Groundwater Basin is located east of CMWD. DWR does not identify any of these groundwater basins as being in overdraft. Other groundwater basins that could be potential sources of groundwater include Buena Vista Creek Basin, Agua Hedionda Creek Basin, Encinas Creek Basin, and the Batiquitos Hydrologic Subarea. These resources have low potential yields, poor quality, or no available data to substantiate their long term use in the public water supply. Generally speaking, these basins do not have geological characteristics or size comparable to Mission Basin of the San Luis Rey River. Collectively, these groundwater basins could supply only a small portion of CMWD's needs. Of the groundwater basins available to CMWD, the Mission Basin of the San Luis Rey River has the most potential for a viable water resource. This basin has a large drainage area of 565 square miles and consists of alluvium and river channel deposits averaging 150 feet in depth. The quality is mildly brackish with TDS concentrations ranging from 1,000 to 1,500 milligrams per liter (mg/L). For CMWD's use, the water would need to be treated by a low pressure membrane, reverse osmosis process to achieve treated water quality in the range of 500 mg/L. The City of Oceanside is currently doing this at their Mission Basin Desalting Facility. The Agua Hedionda subunit (Calavera Well Field) could be considered having a potential available yield of 400 ac-ft/yr. Histrorical well production records by the City of Carlsbad reported the following: 1958 - 1959 = 123 ac-ft/yr 1959 -1960 = 128 ac-ft/yr 1960 - 1961 = 238 ac-ft/yr 1961 - 1962 = 16 ac-ft/yr 4-2 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Section 4 In 2005, CMWD completed a study on the cost effectiveness of utilizing the groundwater from the Mission Basin. This study showed that while the treatment and delivery of groundwater is feasible, it was not cost effective for CMWD at the time of the study. As a result, CMWD's Board approved staff recommendation to discontinue efforts to utilize this groundwater source as an alternate local supply at that time. However, since 2005, improvements in technology may have resulted in lower costs for removing IDS, and these costs may continue to decrease over time. In addition, the cost of imported water has increased significantly since 2005 and this trend is projected by both MWD and SDCWA to continue over time. With the increasing cost and decreasing reliability of imported water, the cost effectiveness of using local groundwater once again has become attractive. A groundwater supply from the Mission Basin would require the construction of several wells, a groundwater treatment facility, and a conveyance system. Wheeling the treated groundwater through the Oceanside distribution system may be an option. Accordingly, CMWD currently is reevaluating its plans for utilization of groundwater in the Mission Basin, which may become cost effective, for the CMWD or third parties, as technology continues to improve and imported water costs continue to increase. In 1991, a study was completed of the Agua Hedionda subunit where the Cannon Well Field is located. This study indicated that by a 1964 agreement the CMWD is allowed to drill any new well within the Cannon Well Field and take or remove all water developed on the property and deliver it to such place or places off of the property in CMWD's sole discretion, may determine. However, there are no recorded groundwater rights. The safe yield was estimated at 400 ac-ft/yr. The CMWD could begin the process for a formal application for groundwater. The Rancho Carlsbad Mobile Home Park does have one operating well in the vicinity, estimated at 100 ac-ft/yr, which they use to supply water for irrigation of their landscaping and through a separate agreement supply water to the adjacent Rancho Carlsbad Golf Course. Ultimately, if there is excessive pumping, there may be adverse effects, such as the elimination of surface flow in Agua Hedionda Creek, reduction in the wetland area downstream of the El Camino Real bridge, and increased salinity in the transition zone of fresh water to salt water in the Agua Hedionda Lagoon. These problems can be addressed if the Cannon Well Field is developed by CMWD through a program of scheduled observations and a monitoring program. Table 4-2.

In March 2000, CMWD's Board of Directors instructed staff to prepare a report on this proposal, including the benefits and impediments to such a project. In short, numerous beneficial aspects to developing a seawater desalination project were identified, but the report also identified many serious and critical issues that needed to be addressed and resolved before the CMWD could obtain a cost effective, reliable, drought- proof water supply from this source. Poseidon completed its feasibility study in July of 2001. This study showed that construction of a 50 mgd Seawater Desalination Facility was feasible and recommended construction of this facility on the Encina Power Plant site (owned by Cabrillo Power). This site offers advantages of an existing seawater intake, a method of brine discharge and an existing Regional Board discharge permit. As a result of its feasibility study, Poseidon offered a proposal to construct a 50 mgd seawater desalination facility and to sell to CMWD 10 mgd (or more) of desalinated seawater. The proposal stated that Poseidon would be responsible for marketing any of the water CMWD did not purchase. Poseidon offered to sell the remaining water to the Vallecitos Water District, the Vista Irrigation District, the City of Oceanside, the San Dieguito Water District, Valley Center Municipal Water District, Santa Fe Irrigation District, Helix Water District, and the Olivenhain Municipal Water District. Poseidon also offered to sell the remaining water to the SDCWA. The CMWD Board recognized early on that there were two paths that could lead to the development of a desalination plant in Carlsbad. One would be a public project owned and operated by SDCWA, developed through the normal public works process of design, bidding, government oversight, distribution, and pricing. The other would be a private project developed by Poseidon, using private procurement methods and operating practices, and selling water to public agencies through both public and private water pipelines at prices negotiated as part of a water purchase agreement. In September of 2004, Poseidon and CMWD executed a Water Purchase Agreement for a private seawater desalination project. In April of 2005, the Agreement Memorializing Certain Understandings and Establishing a Framework For Cooperation (Framework Agreement) was entered into by SDCWA, CMWD, the City of Carlsbad, and the Carlsbad Housing and Redevelopment Commission. As part of the Framework Agreement, SDCWA agreed to sell the CMWD up to 5,000 ac-ft of desalinated seawater annually. This desalinated seawater purchased by CMWD would be deemed and designated as the "CMWD's Local Water" and would be additional to any water CMWD would receive as a member agency of SDCWA. It was anticipated that this designation would increase CMWD's reliability of water supplies in the event of a drought. It was further anticipated that the desalinated seawater that CMWD would purchase from the public, regional seawater desalination project would meet the same water quality 4-4 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Section 4 standards and be provided to CMWD at the same delivery points as the water CMWD currently purchases from SDCWA. SDCWA later determined not to proceed with the public project, and the nine potential water purchasers moved forward toward a private project with Poseidon. In the latter part of 2010, at Poseidon's request, the nine potential water purchasers, all member agencies of SDCWA, requested that SDCWA provide a subsidy toward the purchase price of desalinated water from the private project. One of the alternatives SDCWA proposed in response to its member agencies' request was that SDCWA purchase the entire output of Poseidon's private project. Beginning in 2010, SDCWA has been discussing the purchase of all of the desalinated water which it would distribute to all member agencies. SDCWA and CMWD also have been discussing CMWD's requests to purchase up to 10,000 ac-ft of desalinated seawater annually. As of this date an agreement between SDCWA and CMWD has not been completed. Assuming that Poseidon moves forward with constructing the seawater desalination facility on the current time schedule, it is anticipated that CMWD could start receiving desalinated seawater in the 2015 - 2020 timeframe as a blend with imported water supplies. As shown in Table 4-5, the Carlsbad Seawater Desalination project and brackish groundwater from the San Luis Rey Valley provide opportunity for the development of desalinated water within the CMWD's service area as a future supply source.

The water supplies available to the CMWD from the SDCWA during single and multiple dry years are based on the historical dry periods presented in Table 4-9 and are defined in the SDCWA 2010 Urban Water Management Plan. Table 4-10 presents the CMWD's projected water supplies starting in 2015. Table 4-11 presents the current supply reliability for a normal climate year in 2010 and a multiple dry year period extending to 2013. SDCWA projects providing greater supplies to its member agencies in dry years because of higher demands for water (SDCWA, 2011). CMWD's wholesale water needs would be higher in dry years similar in proportion to the SDCWA projection. Table 4-9.

CMWD has taken steps to ensure a more consistent water supply by expanding its use of recycled water and participating in the Poseidon seawater desalination project. CMWD could also maximize development of recycled water and possibly groundwater. With a successful conservation program already in place, CMWD could also effectively implement temporary water use reduction measures as defined in the water shortage contingency plan to assist in ensuring reliability. The SDCWA has been taking steps to diversify its water supply with alternative sources. The reduced availability of any one supply source would be buffered because of the diversity of the supplies: the region is not reliant on a single source. To replace or supplement an existing supply, the SDCWA could take steps to increase development of transfers or seawater desalination. SDCWA's 2010 Urban Water Management Plan should be consulted for details regarding their actions to ensure consistency of the wholesale water supply. 4-7 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Section 4 Table 4-12.

None Additional information DWR Table 29 <a> See SDCWA's 2010 Urban Water Management Plan for details. 4.9 Water Quality This section describes the water quality of the existing water supply sources and the manner in which water quality affects water management strategies. CMWD receives its wholesale potable water supply from SDCWA as treated water that meets existing drinking water standards. The levels of salinity can vary greatly between the two sources of imported water. Water supplies from the Colorado River Aqueduct (CRA) can reach 700 milligrams per liter (mg/L) of TDS. By comparison, the State Water Project provides an average 250 mg/L of TDS from the East Branch and 325 mg/L from the West Branch. SDCWA is served from the East Branch of the State Water Project. High salinity levels can damage water delivery systems and home appliances and also cause problems for water recycling projects in the SDCWA's service area, especially for marketing recycled water to agricultural users growing salt-sensitive crops. The quality of existing water supply sources is expected to be adequate. The salinity levels of the wholesale water supply are minimized by MWD through optimized blending approaches. The SDCWA's future planned seawater desalination supply from Poseidon Resources will help to reduce TDS concentrations in the overall water supply. Water quality affects CMWD's water management strategies through CMWD's efforts to be in compliance with Federal and State regulations. These regulations require rigorous water quality testing, source assessments, and treatment compliance. Meeting TDS standards is managed primarily by the MWD through blending of its various water supplies. No other special water management strategies due to water quality effects are necessary. No water quality impacts to current and future water supplies are projected as shown in Table 4-13. 4-8 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Section 4 Table 4-13.

Non-potable reuse is the term applied to recycled water used for non-drinking water purposes such as filling lakes, ponds, and ornamental fountains; irrigating parks, campgrounds, golf courses, freeway medians, community green belts, school athletic fields, crops, and nursery stock; controlling dust at construction sites; and recharging groundwater basins. Recycled water can also be used in certain industrial processes and for flushing toilets and urinals in nonresidential buildings. However, current regulations allow only new buildings to be dual-plumbed for this specific use. Additional uses for recycled water are being identified and approved as local agencies, regulators, and customers become comfortable with its use. The purpose of this chapter is to provide information on recycled water and its use as a water resource in CMWD. CMWD is currently in the process of preparing an updated recycled water master plan. This chapter presents the quantity of wastewater generated in the service area, a description of the collection, treatment, disposal and reuse of that wastewater, and the projected amount of water recycling in CMWD's service area. 5.1 Wastewater Quantity and Disposal Wastewater collection and transmission is provided by the City of Carlsbad and Leucadia Wastewater District within the CMWD service area. The Encina Wastewater Authority provides treatment, and effluent disposal through an ocean outfall from their Encina Water Pollution Control Facility (EWPCF). Refer to Figure 5-1 for sewer service area boundaries and location of the EWPCF. Water recycling is provided by CMWD to developed areas within CMWD's boundaries. The area covered by the CMWD includes the majority of the City of Carlsbad's boundary, with the exception of the southeast corner of the City, which is served by Olivenhain Municipal Water District, and Vallecitos Water District. The City of Carlsbad is a member of the Encina Wastewater Authority which owns and operates one wastewater treatment facility: the EWPCF. The present capacity of EWPCF is approximately 40.51 mgd. This capacity is owned by six member agencies that make up the Encina Wastewater Authority (EWA), including Vallecitos Water District, City of Vista, Buena Sanitation District, City of Carlsbad, Leucadia Wastewater District, and the City of Encinitas. The City of Carlsbad owns capacity rights for 10.26 mgd. The facility provides for full secondary treatment, sludge handling and disposal through a deep ocean outfall that extends along the ocean floor to a point 1.5 miles off shore, at a depth of over 150 feet. The treatment levels meet all current State and Federal requirements. Table 5-1 shows the projected amounts of wastewater to be generated and collected in the City of Carlsbad's sewer service area. The wastewater amounts generated within the CMWD boundary are estimated to be approximately five to ten percent greater than the City of Carlsbad's sewer service area because it also includes a portion of the Leucadia Wastewater District. 5-1 I// 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Section 5 Table 5-1.

Since 1993, CMWD has been constructing treatment facilities, pumping stations, reservoirs, and pipelines plus requiring developers to install pipelines within their projects for distribution of recycled water. Recycled water is presently supplied to CMWD from three sources consisting of the 4.0 mgd Carlsbad Water Recycling Facility (owned and operated by CMWD), the 5.0 mgd Meadowlark Water Reclamation Facility (owned and operated by the Vallecitos Water District) and the 1.0 mgd Gafner Wastewater Treatment Plant (owned and operated by the Leucadia Wastewater District). The maximum flow rate available to CMWD from each treatment facility varies. The Carlsbad Water Recycling Facility can be maximized at 4.0 mgd (4,480 ac-ft/yr), but on an average annual basis has not exceeded 2,000 ac-ft/yr. The Meadowlark Water Reclamation Facility ranges from 2.0 mgd during the months of November through March and 3.0 mgd during the months of April through October and this equates to 2,989 ac- ft/yr. The remaining amount of recycled water produced by the Meadowlark Water Reclamation Facility can be sold to Olivenhain Municipal Water District under an agreement up to a maximum of 1.0 mgd or 1,120 ac-ft/yr. The Gafner Water Reclamation Plant is limited to 1.0 mgd (1,120 ac-ft/yr) but CMWD historically has purchased an average of 247 ac-ft/yr over the last seven years. CMWD has approximately 78.89 miles of recycled water distribution pipelines, as shown in Figure 5-2. As of December 2010, this distribution system currently had 675 meters supplying 362 recycled use sites. The largest customers served by recycled water include La Costa Resort and Spa, Four Seasons Resort at Aviara, Kemper Sports Management (Carlsbad Municipal Golf Course), and Legoland of California. Other recognized sites using recycled water for irrigation include Grand Pacific Palisades Hotel, Karl Strauss Brewery, Caltrans (Interstate 5 landscaping), and the Flower Fields. In addition, recycled water is also supplied to parks, median strips, shopping areas, the common areas of numerous homeowners associations, and industrial parks. 5-2 SEWER SERVICE AREAS WITHIN CMWD N 5,800 CITYOF CRLSBAD LEGEND 0 EWPCF I I CMWD Sewer Agency | | CARLSBAD | | LEUCADIA •i VALLECITOS FIGURE 5-1 Pacific Ocean Oceanside Shadowridge WRP Legend A Inactive WRP • Largest 5 Customers HI Pump Station Q Meter H Pressure Regulating Station A WRF QP Tank <^P Reservoir Pipelines by Pressure Zone 318 — 384 ^—550 -^—580 ^—660 Freeways Major Roads Local Streets Carlsbad Municipal Water District Boundary Water Body Carlsbad City Limits San Diego County A l Feet 0 5,000 10,000 Figure 5-2 Existing Recycled Water System Recycled Water Master Plan Carlsbad Municipal Water District W 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Section 5 Table 5-3 presents the differences between 2005 projections and 2010 recycled water use.

It is the policy of CMWD that recycled water shall be used within the jurisdiction wherever its use is economically justified, financially and technically feasible, and consistent with legal requirements, preservation of public health, safety and welfare, and the environment. This policy requires CMWD to prepare and adopt a Recycled Water Master Plan to define, encourage and develop the use of recycled water, and to update this plan no less than every five years. City policy, as established in 1990 and recently revised and approved by the CMWD Board requires that recycled water be used on all new land use developments proposed in Carlsbad for all State-approved non-potable uses, if and when available. The installation of dual irrigation systems and connections to recycled water sources is also required and subject to the conditions of CMWD's Recycled Water Master Plan. CMWD has Cross Connection Control Technicians who review on-site irrigation systems to verify no cross connections have occurred between the potable and recycled water systems. In addition, reviews are made to eliminate overspray and nuisance problems. To date, no major problems have occurred. A quarterly report is submitted to the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board on any field tests and observations. For businesses, cross connection tests are often performed at night to reduce impacts on their operations and customers. User guidelines have been established by CMWD in conjunction with the review by San Diego County Department of Environmental Health, which are intended to provide the basic parameters for the use of recycled water in landscape irrigation. These guidelines include: 5-5 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Section 5 1. Irrigation between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. only. 2. Irrigation in a manner that will minimize run-off, pooling and ponding. 3. Adjustment of spray heads to eliminate overspray onto areas not under the control of the user. 4. Monitoring and maintenance of the system to minimize equipment and material failure. 5. Education of all maintenance personnel on a continuous basis as to the presence of recycled water and for what purposes it is allowed to be used. 6. Prior approval by CMWD of all proposed changes and modifications to any private facilities. 7. An annual cross connection inspection. 8. Designation of an on-site supervisor, in writing, who is familiar with the plumbing system, basic concepts of backflow/cross connection protection and the specific requirements of a recycled water system. Each year, SDCWA hosts a one-day certified course designed to provide irrigation supervisors with a basic understanding of recycled water. Completion of the Recycled Water Site Supervisor Training fulfills the training requirement as mandated by regulatory authorities. The class provides information to supervisors on the water recycling process, recycled water quality and safety issues, the duties and responsibilities of the supervisor, landscape irrigation fundamentals, maintenance and management, and cross connection control shut-down tests and inspections. Understanding similarities and differences between recycled and potable water is important to the successful operation of a recycled water system. Actions used by the CMWD to encourage recycled water use are summarized in Table 5-5. Table 5-5.

CMWD is committed to supporting these regional water conservation activities, and in many cases, provides indirect financial assistance. In addition, CMWD implements local water conservation management measures to augment and complement these regional programs. The unpredictable water supply and ever increasing demand on California's complex water resources have resulted in a coordinated effort by the DWR, water utilities, environmental organizations, and other interested groups to develop a list of urban best management practices (BMPs) for conserving water. This consensus-building effort resulted in a Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Urban Water Conservation in California (MOU), which formalizes an agreement to implement these BMPs and makes a cooperative effort to reduce the consumption of California's water resources. The BMPs as defined by the MOU are presented in Table 6-1. The BMPs as defined in the MOU are generally recognized as standard definitions of water conservation measures. The MOU is administered by the California Urban Water Conservation Council (CUWCC). CMWD is currently an MOU signatory. Copies of the most recent BMP Activity Reports are included in Appendix D.

A description of each BMP is provided in this section. 6.1.1 BMP 1.1.1. Conservation Coordinator CMWD has one full-time Water Conservation Specialist and one Supervisor devoting twenty-five percent time to conservation coordination. 6.1.2 BMP 1.1.2. Water Waste Prohibition In 1991, CMWD adopted the Carlsbad Water Ethic, which specifies responsible water use and is designed to promote the most reasonable, wise and efficient use of water in Carlsbad. Practices include: . New landscaping shall incorporate drought-tolerant plant materials and drip irrigation systems, wherever possible. • Water can never leave the user's property due to over-irrigation of landscape. • Watering must be done during the early morning or evening hours to minimize evaporation (between 4:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. the following morning). . All leaks must be investigated and repaired. • Water cannot be used to clean paved surfaces, such as sidewalks, driveways, parking areas, etc., except to alleviate immediate safety or sanitation hazards. 6-2 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Section 6 • Reclaimed or recycled water shall be used wherever and whenever available. CMWD also has an ordinance for water cutbacks that addresses water softeners, cooling systems, car washes, commercial laundries, and decorative fountains. 6.1.3 BMP 1.1.3. Wholesale Agency Assistance Programs This BMP is not applicable to CMWD because CMWD is not a wholesale agency. 6.1.4 BMP 1.2. System Water Audits, Leak Detection and Repair CMWD reviews monthly water production records and compares the amount of water produced against the monthly-billed consumption records to determine the amount of unaccounted for water. CMWD employees routinely drive water transmission line routes to visually look for water leaks. In addition, CMWD has a meter exchange program where older, less accurate water meters are exchanged for new, accurate ones. Beginning in 2009, CMWD has been converting to Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) Fixed Network with Distribution System Leak Detection. This allows CMWD staff to be able to respond to leaks immediately rather than waiting for leaks to surface. This technology will be able to save quantifiable amounts of water leading to increased sustainability of water. 6.1.5 BMP 1.3. Metering with Commodity Rates for All New Connections and Retrofit of Existing Connections Metering of all water use and billing by volume has long been the standard practice of the CMWD. 6.1.6 BMP 1.4. Conservation Pricing CMWD uses a tiered water rate structure applicable to all residential customer classifications based on their monthly usage relative to meter size. There are three tiers. Tier 1 (conservation) applies to residential customers consuming 12 ccf or less. Tier 2 applies to residential customers consuming 13 to 20 ccf, and Tier 3 applies to residential customers using 21 ccf or more. 6.1.7 BMP 2.1. Public Information Programs CMWD has an extensive public information program, including: a quarterly newsletter mailed to all customers, a web site at www.carlsbad.ca.gov/water/index.html. computerized landscape advice, water awareness calendars, bill inserts, information on the water bill regarding previous usage, an annual promotional event at the local mall, various promotional campaigns, and membership in North County Water Agencies (NCWA), a consortium of 11 water agencies. 6.1.8 BMP 2.2. School Education Programs CMWD has education programs available for elementary grade levels, such as: annual poster contest (4th); watershed awareness program (2nd & 5th); water quality education (grade and high school); Admiral Splash (4th); and California Smith, W.I. (6th). 6.1.9 BMP 3.1. Residential Plumbing Retrofit A City of Carlsbad ordinance was adopted in August 1991, which requires ULFTs in new construction and retrofits. State legislation effective January 1,1992 requires the installation of efficient plumbing in new construction (1.6 gallons per flush (gpf) toilets; 2.5 gallons per minute (gpm) showerheads; 1.0 gpf urinals; and 2.2 gpm kitchen/bathroom faucets). State legislation effective January 1,1994 requires that only ULFTs be sold in California. 6-3 H "i 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Section 6 6.1.10 BMP 3.2. Water Survey Programs For Single-Family Residential and Multi-Family Residential Connections CMWD has offered water audits to all residential customers since 1991. These audits are free of charge and funded entirely by CMWD. Audit components include: reviewing water usage history with the customer; checking for leaks inside and outside; checking for low water use plumbing devices; inspecting irrigation systems; recommending improvements; and providing conservation literature. 6.1.11 BMP 3.3. High-efficiency Washing Machine Rebate Programs CMWD began participating in SDCWA's high efficiency washing machine rebate (now voucher) program in 1998. This program offers a financial incentive to customers who replace their conventional clothes washing machine with a water and energy efficient washing machine. 6.1.12 BMP 3.4. Residential ULFT Replacement Programs The CMWD began offering rebates worth up to $75 for the replacement of older toilets with ultra-low- flush toilets in 1990. Since 1991, CMWD has been participating in SDCWA's rebate and voucher programs. 6.1.13 BMP 4. Conservation Programs for Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional Accounts The CMWD participates in the SDCWA-operated commercial, industrial, and institutional (CM) program, which provides point-of-purchase vouchers to CM customers for ultra-low-flush toilets, low-flow and waterless urinals, high efficiency, coin-operated clothes washers and cooling tower conductivity controllers. Point-of-purchase vouchers encourage implementation of water saving devices as the voucher reduces the up-front cost to businesses as well as reducing water, sewer and energy costs for ten or more years. Reduced utility costs help to create a business-friendly environment and a strong economy. 6.1.14 BMP 5. Large Landscape Conservation Programs and Incentives CMWD's Water Conservation Specialist has been trained to conduct landscape water audits with in- house equipment and software and has been doing so since 1991. In addition, since 1990, CMWD has participated in SDCWA's contractor-operated large landscape program for landscapes greater than 1 acre. This program provides a thorough survey of the irrigation system, soils and plant materials, and calculates an irrigation schedule based upon technology developed by Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. 6.2 Additional Issues This section describes additional issues required to be addressed by the Act. Non-economic factors, including environmental, social, health, customer impacts, and technological are not thought to be significant in deciding which BMPs to implement. There are no planned water supply projects that would provide water at a higher unit cost. CMWD has the legal authority to implement the BMPs. 6-4 Section 7 Water Supply to Demand Comparison This chapter provides a comparison of projected water supplies and demands for normal, single-dry, and multiple dry water years. Appendix E presents CMWD's water shortage contingency plan. 7.1 Normal Year Water Supply to Demand Comparison The normal water year current and projected water supplies are compared to the current and projected demand for CMWD in Table 7-1. Table 7-1. Supply and Demand Comparison-Normal Year (ac-ft/yr) Supply totals Demand totals 2015 26,348 26,348 Difference (supply minus demand) j 0 Difference as a percent of supply j 0 1 Difference as a percent of demand 0 2020 29,110 28,110 1,000 3.4 3.6 2025 J 29,760 28,760 | 1,000 i 3.4 ; 3.5 2030 J 2035 30,409 30,786 29,409 1,000 3.3 3.4 29,786 1,000 3.2 3.4 OWR Table 32 7.2 Single Dry Year Water Supply to Demand Comparison The current and projected water supplies are compared to the demands for a single dry year for CMWD in Table 7-2. SDCWA projects providing additional supplies during dry years to meet higher demands during those dry years (SDCWA, 2011). CMWD has not developed a projection of their dry year demands, but anticipates a similar magnitude increase in demands and supplies from SDCWA. Table 7-2.

The additional demands during dry years and the resulting increased supply from SDCWA have not been projected by CMWD, but are expected to be of a similar magnitude that is projected by SDCWA for the region.

PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED at a Special Meeting of the Carlsbad Municipal Water District Board, on the 6th day of January. 2009, by the following vote to wit: AYES: Board Members Lewis, Kulchin, Hall, Packard and Blackburn. NOES: None. ABSENT: None. ABSTAIN: None. APPROVED AS TO FORM AND LEGALITY RONALD R. BALL, General Counsel /~C-o1 , ATTEST: 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Appendix E: Water Shortage Contingency Plan 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Water Shortage Contingency Plan In January 2009, CMWD's Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No. 44 which included the Drought Response Plan and Water Conservation Program. This replaced a previous Ordinance No. 35 which included the Urban Water Shortage Contingency Plan. As part of the Drought Response Plan, CMWD adopted Ordinance No. 35, ^n Ordinance of the Carlsbad Municipal Water District Finding the Necessity For and Adopting a Water Conservation Program. Since CMWD is dependent upon the SDCWA for its water supply, the SDCWA's 2010 Urban Water Management Plan should be consulted for their water shortage contingency plan. Emergency response stage actions become effective when SDCWA declares that it is unable to provide sufficient water supplies to meet the ordinary demands and requirements of its member agencies without depleting available water supplies, to the extent that insufficient water would be available for human consumption, sanitation and fire protection. When SDCWA announces its stage declaration, the District concurrently would declare its corresponding stage. Stages of Action The ordinance outlines four drought response stages, as shown in Table E-l. Stage Level 1 - Drought Watch Condition Table E-l. Rationing Stages to Address Water Supply Shortages Water Supply Conditions Reasonable probability that supplies will not meet demands Level 2 - Drought Alert Condition Percent shortage 0-10% aufSupplies will not be able to meet expected demands 11-20% Level 3 - Drought Critical Condition Supplies not meeting current demands I Major failure of a supply, storage, or distribution system 21-40% 40% and upLevel 4 - Drought Emergency Condition DWR Table 35 Catastrophic Supply Interruption Plan As shown in Table E-2, CMWD has taken several actions for preparation of and implementation during a catastrophic interruption of water supplies. E-l 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Table E-2. Preparation Actions for a Catastrophe Possible Catastrophe D Earthquake D Fire/explosion D Medical D Flood D Tornado/severe weather D Bomb threat D Hard freeze D Loss of normal water supply D Hazardous material release D Contamination of District water supplies D Terrorist attack Summary of Actions Command chain is defined that dispatches crews to inspect infrastructure and critical operations. Operations response crews assigned to monitor system operations and modify as necessary. Communication command chain is defined to coordinate with other local water agencies and emergency response officials as necessary. Criteria and procedures provided to return system to normal operations including initiating water quality testing when necessary and performing necessary emergency repairs to the system. Plan contains contact information for responsible parties and support services. Water shortage contingency plan stages will be implemented as required by the situation. Prohibitions, Consumption Reduction Methods, and Penalties Mandatory and voluntary prohibitions, consumption reduction methods, and penalties are presented in Tables E-3 to E-5. The reduction in water use that would occur from each of the reduction methods is not estimated. As specific stages are implemented, CMWD would closely monitor projected supply availability and demand. Depending on these projections, the methods presented in Table E-4 would be enacted and enforced to achive the desired reductions in water use. Prohibitions Street/sidewalk cleaning Washing cars Watering lawns/landscapes Uncorrected plumbing leaks Gutter flooding Table E-3.

The Water Replacement Fund is maintained at adequate levels to provide short-term capital in case of emergencies as well as provide funding for replacement of depreciated facilities such as pipelines. In the event of a water emergency, Ordinance No. 44 would be activated to respond to the level of shortage. At that time, drought response stage actions would go into effect and CMWD would be operating with reduced water sales. The amount: of decreased revenue would depend upon the response stage under which CMWD would operate. Tables E-6 and E-7 present how different actions and conditions impact revenues and expenditures. Jype Rate adjustment Table E-6. How Actions and Conditions Impact Revenues Anticipated Revenue Impact Change in quantity of sales No impact. This would be an administrative function to analyze rate structure options to offset potential losses in revenue associated with reduced sales. A reduction in water deliveries would result in a reduction in revenue expenses. The associated reduction in quantity charge based revenues generated to cover local 0 & M costs would be offset by a combination of budget reductions, expense deferrals, including some non-critical CIP projects, draws on rate stabilization and operating reserves, and rate adjustments. Table E-7. How Actions and Conditions Impact Expenditures Type Change in quantity of sales Increased staff/ salaries/ overtime Increased costs of new supplies, transfers or exchanges Anticipated Expenditure Impact The reduction in sales could be offset with rate and budget adjustments and moderate CIP deferrals. None- existing staff would be re-assigned to perform functions required to implement and enforce mandatory use provisions and rate features needed to reduce consumption. New supplies would be secured by the wholesale supplier and the cost would be melded into the overall cost. The increased cost of wholesale water to secure additional supplies would be passed through to CMWD's customers. Methods to mitigate revenue and expenditure impacts are presented in Tables E-8 and E-9. E-4 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Name of Measures Reserve Fund Table E-8. Proposed Measures to Overcome Revenue Impacts Summary of Effects Change rate structure Reduce overhead Decrease capital expenditures This option would have no impact on the rate payers or CMWD as there are currently sufficient funds in the Water Replacement Fund. Changes in rates to offset significant reductions in available water supplies would be minimal. Overhead, or local fixed 0 & M costs, can be reduced in the short and mid-term by deferring selected cash-funded CIP and major maintenance projects, other expenditure reductions and if needed, hiring freezes. Deferral of selected, non-critical replacement projects will have little or no impact on CMWD or its customers, and would only extend the duration of the master planned replacement schedule. Infrastructure for new development is funded by new development and progresses at the rate needed by new development projects. Revise planning estimates If supply reduction were long-term, CMWD would make commensurate adjustments to its CIP schedule, staffing levels and retail rate structures based upon lower retail sales. Impacts would be moderate and implemented overtime. Name of Measures Reserve Fund Change rate structure Table E-9. Proposed Measures to Overcome Expenditure Impacts Summary of Effects Reduce overhead Decrease capital expenditures Revise planning estimates No impact- The Replacement Fund exists and is sufficient forthe very purposes anticipated in a supply shortage scenario. Given the mix of wholesale water and power expenditure, non-commodity revenues needed to cover local fixed costs, availability of reserves and the flexibility to adjust CIP expenditures, short-term (1 to 2 year) impacts would be non-existent to negligible, mid-term (3 years) impacts would be moderate, and long-term (beyond three year) impacts would be moderate and incremental. In the short-term and mid-term, over-head, or local costs can be reduced by deferring non-critical CIP and major maintenance expenditures, and in the long- term by adjusting operational and staffing levels and retail water rate structures to incorporate the reality of lower retail water sales than previously anticipated. In the short-term, there could be a decrease in the level or, if need be, even a total interruption in the expenditures for CMWD's replacement program. In the mid, to long term, adjustments would be to the retail rate structure and to the prioritization schedule to ensure that projects critical to service and system reliability were implemented If the reduced supply is determined to be a long-term condition, then commensurate adjustments would be incorporated into long-term staffing and water system facility requirements. Reduction Measuring Mechanisms The mechanisms needed to determine actual water reductions operate on an ongoing basis. All water received from the SDCWA is metered and monitored. Additionally, all CMWD customers are metered and billed monthly with computerized equipment. Each customer or customer group can be evaluated as to compliance with conservation requirements. Methods used by the CMWD to determine actual reductions in water use are summarized in Table E-10. E-5 2010 Urban Water Management Plan Table E-10. Reduction Measuring Mechanisms Mechanism for Determining Actual Reduction Use normalized or average water use baseline to determine reductions More frequent review of production Type and Quality of Data Expected -i- Each customer will be given a schedule of monthly use targets based upon the required reduction compared to the base period usage. Usage over the amount allocated for any given month will result in the customer incurring penalty pricing for usage that month. Usage under that amount will be accumulated to possible offset over-usage in successive month period. Water production is currently monitored on a real-time basis through CMWD's SCAOA system, and reviewed on a daily basis. More frequent meter reading at customer locations More frequent leak detection and repair System audit Automated sensors and telemetry Monitor utility actions Penalties for customers Customer meters are read on a monthly basis which would coincide with the monthly allocation periods. Customers are given information on how to read their meter and monitor their own usage. Leak detection and repair is currently an active and ongoing O&M function, so no major changes would be expected. The water system is currently audited on a monthly and annual basis, comparing metered deliveries from the SDCWA to metered deliveries to retail customers. CMWO has a SCADA system, which contains features to provide real-time monitoring and alarms communications to on-call operators for identify abnormalities in reservoir fill rates, draw-down rates, and pump function, which can be associated system leaks and other malfunctions that could result in water loss. All CMWD actions are monitored and reported in a comprehensive Activities Report provided to the Board of Directors on an annual basis. Other types of staff reports on CMWD activities are given at the two regular Board Meeting each month or on as needed basis by the Executive Manager.
