DRAFT URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN Figure 1.2 Historic and Forecasted Base Water Use 's LL C — I... 1. 2005 3010 2015 2020 2025 1.2 Water Conservation BMPs are identified in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) administered by the California Urban Water Conservation Council .4 The intent of the MOU is to develop comprehensive conservation BMP programs using sound economic criteria such that water conservation is on an equal basis with other water management options. The identified 14 BMPs are presumed to be cost effective in most areas of California. BMPs, however, should not be implemented if they are not cost effective, cannot be reasonably funded, or cannot be implemented because agency does not have legal authority. Hence, the City needs to evaluate the appropriateness of each BMP to its situation. Signatories of the MOU, including Redwood City, also commit to meeting minimum coverage requirements (i.e., conservation activity levels) and timetables for implementing BMPs. The implementation plan presented in this report is based on meeting minimum coverage requirements (i.e., activity levels) and associated schedule milestones. It should be noted, however, that water conservation planning information, performance, and assumptions are continually changing. Hence, this plan should change as circumstances warrant. This section evaluates each BMP as it relates to Redwood City currently. This list can be used as a component in the annual refinement of water resource planning. 4 A detailed description of BMPs can be viewed at www.cuwcc.org. 12.000 io.aoo 5.aoo 8,000 H10blIOl FO- 1,000 2.000 0 1070 — I... 1. 2005 3010 2015 2020 2025 1.2 Water Conservation BMPs are identified in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) administered by the California Urban Water Conservation Council .4 The intent of the MOU is to develop comprehensive conservation BMP programs using sound economic criteria such that water conservation is on an equal basis with other water management options.
