—^ — –�v 1\I Free Water Audit Software Version 5.0 for reporting system water loss. EKI will prepare the stand-alone worksheet based on system data provided by the City. Senate Bil!X7-7 Per-Canita Water Usaae Analvsis Pursuant to CWC Section 1Q608.20 and SBX7-7, the City's 2015 UWMP will need to provide the City's baseline water use, compliance water use, and water use targets for 2015 and 2020. DWR promulgated guidance in 2010 and 2011 for calculating these values, including water use targets, by applying the four established methodologies6. Revised methodologies, plus final DWR guidelines, are in development and are expected to be available to support development of the 2015 UWMPs. As noted above, EKI's preliminary review of the City's gross per capita water use data indicates that the City appears to be in full compliance with the targets that it established in its 2010 UWMP based on use of Target Method 3, and limited additionat analysis will be required. WaterShortaae Continaencv Plannina Per CWC Section 10632(a), the UWMP must include an urban water shortage contingency analysis that includes each of the elements that are within the authority of the urban water supplier. As part of this task, EKI will �eview and summarize the City's existing WSCP for inclusion in the 2015 UWMP. However, given the recent and severe drought, Executive Order B-29-15, and the SWRCB's Emergency Drought Regulations, WSCPs are subject to increased scrutiny. Therefore, if �equested by the City and pu�suant to an additiona! scope of work, EKI will work with the �ty to develop an updated WSCP that includes actionable conservation measures tied to water utility rates and fees and can serve as a draft ordinance for the City. This updated WSCP will address all elements of CWC Section 10632 and �eflect: • The signi�cant strides the City and its customers have made in recent years in terms of water conservation (i.e., demand hardening); • The local public policy interests in how water shortages are allocated; • The mechanisms by which the necessary cutbacks can be realized; • The potential impacts of the projected cutbacks on City revenues and staffing and the local economy; and • The lead time �equired to implement specific actions during a water shortage (e.g., adding additional meter�eaders in order to move to more frequent billing). Condud Workshon#1 Workshop#1 will include a presentation of the information identified above and wifl consist of an approximately two hou� meeting with appropriate stakeholders as identified by the City. During workshop #1 EKI will obtain input regarding the presentation of initial findings, the 6 Target Method 1:8096 of 1�-or 15-Year Baseline GPCD C1NC 30608.20(b)(1); Target Method 2:Performance Standards CWC 10608.20(b)(2); Target Method 3:9596 of Hydrologic Regional Target CWC 10608.20(b►(3);or Target Method 4:Savings by Water Sector DWR Method 4 Page � 19 Redwood City Public Works Services Department 2015 UWMP (EK!85-078) ATTY/AGR.2015.248/EKI -Development of 2015 Urban Water Management Plan
