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.

While this is good, the water use reduction is reviewed on a monthly basis. K:\WP\COUNCIL\2015\CC# Drought Update 071515.doc Receive Report on Drought Emergency, Compliance Progress with State Drought Regulations, and Water Conservation Outreach and Approve Expansion of Rebate Program 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. K:\WP\COUNCIL\2015\CC# Drought Update 071515.doc Receive Report on Drought Emergency, Compliance Progress with State Drought Regulations, and Water Conservation Outreach and Approve Expansion of Rebate Program 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. FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable F.
