Chapter 9 Demand Management Measures THE CITY OF PL£ASANTON The Zone 7 water rate is provided to the City and is a direct pass through to the City's customers. The City does not determine this rate, which is subject to change at least each January 1. The fixed meter charge and the distribution charges are subject to annual consumer price index changes effective January 1, and the Zone 7 rate is subject to changes by the Zone 7 Board. 9.2.3.2.2 Recycled Water Rates As described in previous chapters of this 2020 UWMP, the City purchases and delivers recycled irrigation water to commercial customers in various areas within its service area. The City is in the process of expanding its recycled water system to expand irrigation service. Recycled water rates are available on the City's website (www.citvofpleasantonca.aov) and are based on the costs associated with providing recycled water service, purchases from DERWA and Livermore, and delivering water through its distribution system. The City's recycled water rate is set at 90 percent of the potable irrigation rate. As potable water rates are adjusted based on changes in the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) and in Zone 7's wholesale water rates, the recycled water rate will adjust to remain at 90 percent of the potable irrigation water rate. Each December, customers will be notified of the rate that will be effective January 1 of the following year. 9.2.3.3 Plans for Continued Implementation Implementation of this DMM is ongoing and expected to help the City achieve its water use targets by ensuring water customers pay the true cost of water and to adequately fund water system operations and maintenance, including repair and replacement programs and water conservation programs. 9.2.4 Public Education and Outreach 9.2.4.1 DMM Description The City has been actively involved in providing the community with information and education on the value of water and water conservation for many years. This includes participating at local events, such as green fairs, corporate fairs, school events and farmers markets, hosting and co -hosting water -wise workshops, and meeting with business leaders and corporate green teams to discuss and answer questions on water efficiency. Brochures, handouts, model displays, and general discussion are offered during events to the general public. The City is part of the Tri -Valley Water Conservation Task Force, which promotes the WaterSense program's "Fix a Leak Week" campaign each year to raise awareness of water leaks inside the home and the amount of water wasted from such leaks each year. During Fix a Leak Week, Zone 7 and the local water retailers encourage customers to fix common leaks (faucets, toilets and showerheads) and educate the public on the value of water efficiency and the meaning of the WaterSense label. The City's Water Conservation Program provides guidance to internal staff to ensure effective communication with the public on matters of water conservation and programs that are available to the public to increase water efficiency. Water conservation programs include high -efficiency washer rebates, water efficient landscape rebates, weather -based irrigation controller rebates, water -efficient irrigation rebates for irrigation customers, and controller assistance program service visits. These programs are discussed in more detail in Section 9.2.7. WEST YOST 9-5 City of Pleasanton 2020 Urban Water Management Plan May 2021
