Chapter 9 Demand Management Measures THE CITY OF PL£ASANTON 7. Use of potable water for outdoor landscaping through a dedicated irrigation meter within the City's recycled water use area unless exempted by the director of operations and water utilities for existing water customers, or City Engineer for new development. In addition to the above water waste prohibitions, the City expanded water conservation regulations in a June 2016 update to PMC Chapter 9.30 (Water Management Plan). To protect water resources, these additional regulations apply even during normal supply conditions and include: 1. The use of potable water for washing vehicles and/or machinery from a hose equipped with a shutoff nozzle is permitted as long as water does not enter the storm drain system. 2. Reduce other interior or exterior uses of water to minimize or eliminate excessive runoff or waste. 3. Restaurants shall serve water to their customers only when specifically requested. 4. Operators of hotels and motels shall provide guests with the option of choosing not to have towels and linens laundered daily. The hotel or motel shall prominently display notice of this option in each guestroom using clear and easily understood language. 5. The use of water for construction activities should utilize recycled water, rather than potable water. Such use shall occur in a manner that does not result in runoff or illicit discharge into the storm drain system. 6. Commercial power washing should utilize recycled water, in a manner that does not result in water discharging into the storm drain system. 7. Pools should remain covered when not in use to prevent evaporation, and should be equipped with recirculating pump(s). 8. The use of potable water in non-recirculatory ponds, fountains, and other decorative water features is prohibited. 9.2.1.3 Plans for Continued Implementation Implementation of this DMM is ongoing and expected to help the City achieve its water use targets by minimizing nonessential water uses so that water is available for human consumption, sanitation, and fire protection. 9.2.2 Metering 9.2.2.1 DMM Description All known water connections within the City's service area are metered, and all customer sectors are billed by volume of use, as discussed in Section 9.2.3. Between 2016 and 2017, the City implemented an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) project, which included replacing most small and large water meters. To date, the AMI project converted 96.8 percent of the City's 22,369 meters to an Aclara AMI system. Following installation, the City performed an audit investigation to verify meter read validity from the new AMI system. The AMI project increased meter accuracy due to the replacement of older meters that naturally decline in performance over time.
