1. AB #810 - Presentation on Water Conservation within the Carlsbad Municipal Water District
(CMWD) service area for June 2015.
A PowerPoint presentation was provided (copy on file in the Office ofthe City Clerk) by Utilities
Director Wendy Chambers and Meter Services Supervisor Mario Remillard.
Ms. Chambers announced that funds for turf removal incentives have been exhausted. Any
new funding will be announced, but at this time no new fund sources are available. Ms.
Chambers informed the City Council that the Carlsbad Municipal Water District (CMWD) is
working with the State Water Resources Control Board and San Diego County Department of
Environmental Health to access recycled water for local residents and for firefighting
purposes. Fill stations are intended to be conveniently located throughout the region. In
response to Council Member Packard's question, Ms. Chambers acknowledged that there are
currently no methods to capture rain water runoff.
Mr. Remillard (see PowerPoint presentation for zones and water use) informed council that
zones have been identified throughout the city to better evaluate which regions need to be
further educated as to how to better conserve water. Furthermore, commencing in August,
2015, water utility bills will reflect the water use comparison between usage occurring in June
2013 and current usage.
Council Member Wood requested data concerning new residential building in the City of
Carlsbad and water use to aid the council in responding to the public's concerns regarding
the impact of new construction on water restrictions. Ms. Chambers agreed to provide the
City Council with this information.
ACTION: Report Received.
