AGENDA TITLE: Receive Report on Drought Emergency, Compliance Progress with State
Drought Regulations, and Water Conservation Outreach and Approve
Expansion of Rebate Program
MEETING DATE: July 15, 2015
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive report on drought emergency, compliance progress with
State drought regulations, and water conservation outreach and
approve expansion of rebate program.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On January 17, 2014, the Governor of the State of California
proclaimed a state of emergency in the State of California due to
drought conditions in the state. On April 25, 2014, the Governor
proclaimed a continued state of emergency in the State of California due to drought conditions that
have persisted for the last three years. The duration of this drought is unknown. On May 21, 2014,
the City Council adopted a resolution finding the existence of a drought emergency and supported the
Public Works Director in declaring a Stage 1 water emergency in Lodi. On February 26, 2015, the
Public Works Director declared a Stage 2 water emergency and on May 1, 2015, in response to
additional State regulations, the Public Works Director declared a Stage 3 water emergency.
On March 27, 2015, the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) approved emergency regulatory action
submitted by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) thereby establishing emergency
regulations. On April 1, 2015, the Governor issued an Executive Order effective immediately. On May 5,
2015, the SWRCB adopted the statewide net 25 percent mandatory water conservation regulation
(Attachment A) to implement the mandatory conservations measures contained in the Governor's
Executive Order (Lodi's conservation requirement was initially higher at 36 percent).
The above actions are further discussed below and the impacts to the City are described. This report
will also present information regarding the City's compliance with the OAL regulatory action and the
Governor's Executive Order regulations.
Regulatory Requirements
In late May 2015, City staff supplied documentation (prepared by the Reed Group, Inc.) to the SWRCB
which revised the percent residential calculation. This revision, based on actual metered residential water
use, reduced the residential water use percentage from 72.6 percent to 64.7 percent. This revision was
approved by the SWRCB on May 28, 2015 and qualified the City to be placed in Tier 8 of the SWRCB
requirements; reducing the compliance target from 36 percent to 32 percent for residential water use
reduction compared to 2013.

July 15, 2015
Beginning in August 2014, the City has been reporting on a monthly basis to the SWRCB, at
www.drinc.ca.gov, water production, residential water use, and conservation data. Beginning in June
2015, the City is also required to report commercial, industrial, and institutional water use.
Water Conservation Outrea
In the past three years, the Water Conservation program has been expanding the outreach to the
public. Initially, the program switched from participating once a year with a booth at the Lodi Grape
Festival to having a booth (from monthly to every 3 weeks in 2015) at the Lodi Farmer's Market. Also,
water conservation staff has participated at several outreach events, both in Lodi and regionally.
These include two "Water Conservation and You!" events at Hutchins Street Square (Attachment B),
as well as co -sponsoring and presenting at the recent "Get Ahead or Get Parched" workshop for
landscape irrigation managers last month, presented by Department of Water Resources and
California Center for Urban Horticulture (Attachment C).
Additionally, the program has been expanding its education and outreach to include the following:
• Water Conservation Door Hanger (Attachment D) — this door hanger will be distributed to
every home in the City. Areas with multiple water conservation violations will be prioritized
and be distributed to first.
• Stage 3 Restrictions Advertisement — the Lodi News Sentinel is planning a special drought
section in the June 30, 2015 edition. The City has ordered an advertisement (Attachment E)
to be placed in both the main paper on Saturday, June 27, 2015, as well as the special
drought section.
• Development of a water conservation advertisement to be placed on City buses (currently in
development).
• Participation in a Watershed Open House with the National Night Out Block Captains on
Thursday, July 16, 2015. This event will present information on water conservation,
understanding the water conservation ordinance and rebate program, in addition to watershed
protection, what is a watershed and how neighborhoods can prevent street pollution from
entering our waterways, and water production, where Lodi's drinking water comes from and a
tour of the water plant.
Staff continues to explore various outreach methods to educate Lodi citizens of the need for water
conservation, especially during the drought.
Water Conservation Rebates
The Water Conservation Rebate program began on June 15, 2001. Rebates were offered on select
items such as ultra-low flow toilets, hot water heater blankets, low flow shower heads, and manual
hose bib timers. Initially the program only allowed rebates for items purchased at these designated
stores.
Ace Hardware, 872 West Kettleman Lane
• Henderson Company, Inc., 21 South Sacramento Street
• Orchard Super Hardware, 360 South Cherokee Lane
• Super Plumbing Supply, 1435 Academy Street
e Wal-Mart, 2350 West Kettleman Lane
From January 2006 to December 2010, there were 113 items rebated to participating stores, totaling
almost $5,000 over the 5 year period.

July 15, 2015
Since 2012 the program no longer requires the rebates to go through participating stores (in 2011 only
one retailer, Orchard Supply Hardware, was still participating). Instead, rebate items can be
purchased from any retailer and the Lodi resident (water utility customers only) submits the completed
rebate form and receipt within 120 days of purchase. Once received, the rebate request is reviewed
and if approved, rebate checks are sent directly to the customer. In 2013, two new items were added
to the rebate program; EPA WaterSense certified toilets and replacement automatic sprinkler timers.
From January 2011 to May 2015, there were 491 items rebated to 277 customers, totaling just over
$28,000 over the four and a half year period.
In 2015, three new items are planned to be added to the rebate program. These include the following
rebates:
• EPA WaterSense Certified Showerhead <_ 2.0 gpm (50 percent off cost up to $100 each)
• Rain Barrel (50 percent off cost up to $100 each)
■ Energy Star Certified High Efficiency Clothes Washer with water factor of <_ 4.0 (Per
EnergyStar.gov) ($100 each) This washer would also qualify for an Electric Utility energy
efficiency rebate ($100 each).
With Council approval, these rebate items will be added to the existing suite of rebates.

emergency under the California Emergency Services Act based on continued drought
conditions;
(3) On April 1, 2015, the Governor issued an Executive Order that in part
percent reduction in potable urban usage through February, 2016• require commercial
industrial, and institutional users to implement water efficiency measures,• prohibit
irrigation with potable water of `ornamental turf in public' street medians: and prohibit
delivered by drip or microspraysystems,
