DERWA <br />Res. No. 19-3 <br />WHEREAS, EBMUD has made significant investment and has expended grant funding for the <br />Phase 2 Expansion of its recycled water distribution system which will convert existing potable water <br />use to recycled water use; and <br />WHEREAS, Article IV of the Agreement for the Sale of Recycled Water by the DSRSD-EBMUD <br />Recycled Water Authority to the Dublin San Ramon Services District and the East Bay Municipal Utility <br />District (Sales Agreement) provides that the Member Agencies shall implement demand management <br />for their respective connected customers and the Authority Manager shall take actions to curtail delivery <br />of recycled water to the Member Agencies; and <br />WHEREAS, Article IV of the Sales Agreement further provides for the allocation of available <br />future recycled water supplies among the Member Agencies when recycled water demands are <br />projected to exceed the recycled water supplies during periods beyond the current contract year; and <br />WHEREAS, the DERWA Board of Directors desires that the Authority Manager take appropriate <br />steps as outlined in Article IV of the Sales Agreement to assist Member Agencies in the curtailment of <br />their use of recycled water supply for the 2019 irrigation season and to take further actions to allocate <br />amongst the Member Agencies, and the City of Pleasanton as applicable, the recycled water supply <br />projected to be available in subsequent contract years; and <br />WHEREAS, given the projected current and future shortfall in recycled water supply and the <br />complexity of implementing demand management on a real-time peak day basis, the most prudent and <br />practical method of demand management is for the Member Agencies to implement a connection <br />moratorium on new connections and implement other additional demand management practices to <br />curtail the use of recycled water; and <br />WHEREAS, the DERWA Board of Directors desires that DERWA continue to research and <br />appropriately develop the supplemental supplies necessary to increase the availability of recycled water <br />for the current and future irrigation seasons. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Directors of the DSRSD•EBMUD <br />Recycled Water Authority, a Joint Powers Authority, does hereby find, request, and direct as follows: <br />1. The DERWA Board of Directors finds that currently available DERWA recycled water <br />supplies are insufficient to meet the projected recycled water demand of the Member <br />Agencies and the City of Pleasanton on peak irrigations days in the summer during the <br />current year; and <br />2. The DERWA Board of Directors further finds that recycled water supplies are anticipated <br />to be insufficient to meet the projected demands for recycled water on peak irrigation <br />days in future years; and <br />2 <br />
