Section 4 2025 Urban Water Management Plan <br />Water Use Characterization City of Pleasanton <br /> Public Draft | May 2026 <br /> 4-2 EKI Environment & Water, Inc. <br />4.2 Water Use Sectors <br /> <br />Demand within Pleasanton’s water service area is measured using water meters installed at each <br />customer account. Records of current and historical water use at each account are maintained by <br />Pleasanton. Demand within Pleasanton’s service area is tracked and reported for the following sectors: <br />• Single Family Residential: Attached or detached dwelling units that are individually metered. <br />• Multi-Family Residential: Two or more dwelling units served by a common water meter. Water <br />use is predominately for indoor water use; irrigation water use for multiple family sites is usually <br />separately metered and listed in the irrigation sector. <br />• Commercial: Includes commercial customers. Irrigation water use at these sites is usually <br />separately metered and listed in the irrigation sector. <br />• Industrial: Includes industrial customers. Irrigation water use at these sites is usually separately <br />metered and listed in the irrigation sector. <br />• Landscape: Water meters used exclusively for outdoor uses associated with multiple family <br />residential customers (i.e., homeowner associations [HOAs]) and other irrigation sites. <br />Sales to other agencies, agriculture, saline water intrusion barriers, groundwater recharge, or conjunctive <br />use, or any combination thereof, as noted in CWC §10631(d)(1), do not apply to Pleasanton. <br />Pleasanton’s total water demand is the sum of demand for potable and recycled water within its service <br />area. The City’s total potable demand includes water consumed by metered accounts in the service area <br />(i.e., metered water use), authorized but unbilled uses (e.g., fire flow and distribution system flushing), <br />and water loss within the system. <br />Pleasanton’s recycled water demands are reported as the volume delivered to its recycled water <br />distribution system and, therefore, is inclusive of any real or apparent water loss throughout the system. <br /> CWC §10631 <br />(d)(1) For an urban retail water supplier, quantify, to the extent records are available, past and current water <br />use, over the same five-year increments described in subdivision (a), and projected water use, based upon <br />information developed pursuant to subdivision (a), identifying the uses among water use sectors, including, but <br />not necessarily limited to, all of the following: <br />(A) Single-family residential. <br />(B) Multifamily. <br />(C) Commercial. <br />(D) Industrial. <br />(E) Institutional and governmental. <br />(F) Landscape. <br />(G) Sales to other agencies. <br />(H) Saline water intrusion barriers, groundwater recharge, or conjunctive use, or any combination thereof. <br />(I) Agricultural. <br />(J) Distribution system water loss.
