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