City of Pleasanton <br />2025 Water Rate Study <br /> <br />Water Resources Economics <br />85 <br />Table 6-1: Water Shortage Usage Exempted <br />Line Water Shortage Rate <br />Exemption (8 ccf) <br />Total Accounts <br />(FY 2026) <br />Annual Usage <br />Exempted <br />1 Single Family 19,929 956,592 <br />2 Multi-Family 523 25,104 <br />3 Commercial/ Industrial 982 47,136 <br />4 Potable Irrigation 880 42,240 <br />5 Total 22,314 1,071,072 <br /> <br />USAGE REDUCTIONS BY WATER SHORTAGE STAGE <br />Table 6-2 shows the projected water usage reductions in each water shortage stage by customer class <br />(Lines 3-9). The total usage reduction (Line 1) for each stage is based on the City’s WSCP. The total usage <br />reduction in each stage is applied to the total usage for each customer class equally. For example, in <br />Stage 1, Single Family, Multi-Family, Commercial/ Industrial, and Potable Irrigation are expected to <br />reduce their class usage by 10%. <br /> <br />The annual exempted usage for each class (Table 6-1) is subtracted from total annual water usage <br />reduction by class (Lines 3-8), assuming the annual exempted usage remains constant for each stage, to <br />arrive at the total water usage reduction less exempted usage (Line 16). The effect of the drought <br />allotment policy increases the unit cost for shortages as water shortage costs are spread over less units.
