8.4.A. - Page 3 <br /> water mains. As water shortages increase, allocations will be set to meet the desired <br /> reduction goal. <br /> The WSCP has been updated to meet all current requirements as set forth by Governor <br /> Brown during the current drought and the regulations and statues as set forth by the <br /> State Water Resources Control Board and California Water Code. Further, California <br /> Water Code Section 375 et. seq. authorizes the City to adopt a Water Conservation <br /> Program ("WCP) to impose additional regulations and restrictions on the delivery and <br /> consumption of water within the City's service area. Public Works Services <br /> recommends, in addition to the WSCP, adoption of a WCP to prohibit nonessential <br /> water use and ensure compliance with the Governor's orders and state regulations. <br /> On October 17, 2016 The City Council adopted a Water Shortage Contingency Plan <br /> and Water Conservation Plan. Rescinding Ordinance No. 2062 is the final step needed <br /> to rescind the old plan and put the new plan in place. <br /> ALTERNATIVES <br /> The City Council may direct staff to further refine the Water Shortage Contingency Plan <br /> and return to Council at a later date <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> There is no direct fiscal impact related to rescinding this ordinance or for adopting the <br /> new Water Shortage Contingency Plan. However, in the event of a prolonged water <br /> shortage conservation may result in reduced water sales and operating revenue <br /> potentially requiring water shortage related surcharges on water use. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br /> This Ordinance and Water Shortage Contingency Plan is categorically exempt from <br /> CEQA under CEQA Guidelines 15307 (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of <br /> Natural Resources). <br /> 21w/ <br /> JUSTIN CHAPEL <br /> PUBLIC WORKS SUPERINTENDENT <br /> iciffiljL <br /> RAMANA CHINNAKOTLA <br /> PUBLIC WORKS SERVICES DIRECTOR <br />
