The City implements demand management measures (DMMs) to sustainably manage its water resources. <br />If not mitigated, an increase in water demand and/or changes in water supplies due to climate change <br />and other factors reduce water reliability. Implementing DMMs can help improve water service reliability <br />and help meet City and State water conservation goals. This chapter describes the City's historical and <br />existing water conservation program, status of DMMs, and projected future implementation of water <br />conservation measures. <br />In previous UWMPs, a substantial amount of data was required to document a water supplier's progress <br />in implementing fourteen specific DMMs. In 2014, Assembly Bill 2067 simplified, clarified, and updated <br />reporting requirements for DMMs. Focus turned away from detailed descriptions of each of the fourteen <br />DMMs and turned to key water conservation measures that are being implemented to achieve SB X7-7 <br />water use targets. For retail agencies like the City, the number of DMMs was reduced from fourteen to <br />six (plus an "other" category). A narrative description of the status of the DMMs and how the DMMs help <br />the water supplier achieve its water efficiency goals are required. Detailed data are not required. <br />9.1 WATER CONSERVATION PROGRAM OVERVIEW <br />The City has long been committed to reducing the demand for potable water through conservation and <br />has recently implemented a recycled water program to offset potable water demands. The City's <br />customers have responded positively to these conservation programs. In this chapter, narrative <br />descriptions addressing the nature and extent of each DMM implemented over the past five years <br />(2016-2020) are provided. Planned or continued implementation of each of the DMMs are also discussed. <br />The City's SB X7-7 per capita water use target for 2020 was confirmed to be 197 GPCD in its 2015 UWMP. <br />The DMMs that the City has implemented have allowed it to meet its target. As shown in Chapter 5, the <br />City's overall per capita water use in 2020 was 159 GPCD. <br />9.2 EXISTING DEMAND MANAGEMENT MEASURES FOR RETAIL <br />SUPPLIERS <br />The City is required to provide a description of the DMM's associated with the following: <br />• Water waste prevention ordinances <br />• Metering <br />• Conservation pricing <br />• Public education and outreach <br />• Programs to assess and manage distribution system real loss <br />• Water conservation program coordination and staffing support <br />The City is also required to describe any other DMMs it has implemented that have had significant impact <br />on water use. <br />This section describes existing water conservation programs and those planned to be implemented in the <br />future. For each DMM, the current program is described, followed by a description of how the DMM was <br />implemented over the previous five years and future implementation plans. <br />WEST YOST 9-1 City of Pleasanton <br />2020 Urban Water Management Plan <br />N-080-00-20-04-wP-a-080-2020uwMP May 2021 <br />
