During water shortage conditions, the City plans to reduce demand by <br />implementing these actions, shown in Table 5. The table organizes demand reduction actions by water <br />shortage stage (only in the stage when first implemented, as the City will continue to use these actions in <br />higher stages unless otherwise noted). For each demand reduction action, the table identifies the estimated <br />shortage gap reduction associated with implementing the action and indicates whether the City uses <br />compliance actions such as penalties, charges, or other enforcement. <br />4.3 Operational Changes <br />During shortage conditions, system operations may be adjusted to optimize use of available supplies and <br />further reduce demand. Examples of operational changes that the City may implement during a water <br />shortage include: <br />• More frequent monitoring of water meters and customer water usage <br />• Decreasing line flushing <br />• Expanding a public education campaign <br />• Increasing water waste patrols and enforcement <br />Some of these measures are also included above in Table 5 as they would either directly or indirectly <br />reduce demand. <br />For a specific emergency event, the City can adjust water operations staff schedules such that rotating <br />shifts cover the duration of the emergency if necessary. The City also has emergency interties with DSRSD
