WHEREAS, the State has mandated that beginning January 1, 1998, the City of Lodi is
obligated to fund various programs through a Public Benefits Charge based on an historical
electric revenue requirement; and
WHEREAS, the requirement amounts to approximately $1 million per year that must be
dedicated to qualifying programs such as energy efficiency. A further stipulation is that these
efforts must be done on the customer's side of the meter in order to qualify; and
WHEREAS, the Lodi Residential Swimming Pool Pump & Motor Rebate Program is a
new effort designed to enhance energy efficiency and conservation for those Lodi residents
(apartment complex owners/managers are also eligible for a rebate under this program) who
have a swimming pool on their Lodi property; and
WHEREAS, the intent of this program is to encourage swimming pool owners to install
high -efficiency pumps or motors; there will be two (2) rebate components in this proposed
program:
1) $150 rebate* for qualifying single -speed energy efficient motors; and
2) $325 rebate for qualifying two -speed pumps and motors (these approved two -speed
pumps and motors must be of equal or lesser horsepower than the horsepower of the
existing single -speed pump and motor, a control system capable of controlling both low
and high speeds separately must be installed).
*In order to qualify for the $150 rebate on single -speed pumps and motors, customers most reduce the maximum
horsepower by 25%, reduce daily pump time by a minimum of one hour, and shift daily pump time to off-peak hours
(traditional "on -peak" hours in California are noon to 6 p.m.).
WHEREAS, the pool pump rebates are only for filtration pumps associated with in -
ground swimming pools; for motor replacement, pool booster pumps, aboveground pool
pumps, and spa pumps are not eligible for a rebate. Customers must be current on their City of
Lodi utility account in order to qualify for a rebate under this program, and the rebates are
available on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are exhausted.
WHEREAS, installing high -efficiency swimming pool pumps and motors, coupled with
reduced daily pump time and operating the pump outside of "on -peak" hours, will decrease a
customer's home energy consumption b
. y a minimum of 10 percent; and
WHEREAS, Electric Utility staff respectfully recommends approval of the Lodi
Residential Swimming Pool Pump & Motor Rebate Program as a qualifying component of the
City of Lodi Public Benefits Program.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council hereby authorizes
the City Manager to appropriate Public Benefits Program funds in the amount of $26,000.00 for
the Lodi Residential Swimming Pool Pump & Motor Rebate Program, specifically designed for
Lodi Electric Utility customers.
