Title: Statewide Water Conservation Requirements
Legislation - Concurrence Vote Passed (Senate) (21-13) - Nov. 4, 2009 (Key vote)
Title: Statewide Water Conservation Requirements
Vote to concur with Assembly amendments and pass a bill that mandates that California achieve a 10 percent reduction in urban per capita water use by December 31, 2015 and a 20 percent reduction in urban per capita water use by December 31, 2020.
- -80 percent of the urban retail water supplier's baseline per capita daily water use;
-The per capita water use estimated by using the sum of the following performance standards:
- -For indoor residential water use, 55 gallons per capita daily water use as a provisional standard (which may be adjusted during and after 2016);
-For landscape irrigated through dedicated or residential meters or connections, water efficiency equivalent to the standards of the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (from Division 2 of Title 23 of the California Code of Regulations); and
-For commercial , industrial, and institutional uses, a 10 percent reduction in water use by 2020;
- -Measure the volume of water delivered to customers with sufficient accuracy;
-Adopt a pricing structure for water customers based at least in part on quantity delivered; and
-Additional practices that accomplish the following, if the measures are locally cost effective and technically feasible:
- -Facilitate alternative land use for lands with exceptionally high water duties or whose irrigation contributes to significant problems, including drainage;
-Facilitate use of available recycled water that otherwise would not be used "beneficially," meets all health and safety criteria, and does not harm crops or soils;
-Facilitate the financing of capital improvements for on-farm irrigation systems;
-Implement an incentive pricing structure that promotes the goals of achieving more efficient water use at the farm level, conjunctive use of groundwater, appropriate increase of groundwater recharge, reduction in problem drainage, improved management of environmental resources, or effective management of all water sources throughout the year by adjusting seasonal pricing structures based on current conditions;
-Expand line or pipe distribution systems and construct regulatory reservoirs;
-Increase flexibility in water ordering by, and delivery to, water customers within operational limits;
-Construct and operate supplier spill and tailwater recovery systems;
-Increase planned conjunctive use of surface water and groundwater withing the supplier service area;
-Automate canal control structures;
-Facilitate or promote customer pump testing and evaluation;
-Designate a water conservation coordinator to develop[ and implement the water management plan and prepare progress reports;
-Provide for the availability of water management services to water users;
-Evaluate the policies of agencies that provide the supplier with water to identify institutional changes to allow more flexible water deliveries and storage; and
-Evaluate and improve the efficiencies of the supplier's pumps.
- -Describe the agricultural water supplier and the service area;
-Describe the quantity and quality of water resources of the agricultural water supplier;
-Include an analysis of the effect of climate change on future water supplies;
-Describe previous water management activities; and
-Include information on which "efficient water management practices" have been implemented and are
planned to be implemented, an estimate of the water use efficiency improvements that have occurred since the last report, an estimate of the water use efficiency improvements estimated to occur 5 and 10 years in the future, and, if a supplier determines that an "efficient water management practice" is not locally cost effective or technically feasible, information documenting that determination.
- -If an urban retail water supplier fails to meet urban water use reduction targets, it shall be eligible for a water grant or loan if it has submitted to the Department a schedule, financing plan, and budget for achieving the required reductions, or if it has submitted documentation demonstrating that its entire service area qualifies as a disadvantaged community;
-If an agricultural water supplier fails to implement all of the required efficient water management practices, it shall be eligible for a water grant or loan if it has submitted to the Department a schedule, financing plan, and budget for implementation of the efficient water management practices;
-If an agricultural or urban retail water supplier is participating in a multiagency water project or an integrated regional water management plan, eligibility for water grants or loans shall not be denied solely because one or more of the participating agencies is not implementing all of the requirements of this bill.
