Chapter 14.20 of the Pleasanton Municipal Code established a policy requiring <br />irrigation customers directly along the recycled water distribution system to convert/connect to recycled <br />water service consistent with all applicable legal requirements, except for specific defined exemptions. <br />The major obstacle for the remaining identified customers that have yet to convert to recycled water are <br />significant site-specific factors that require costly or currently impractical modifications to meet Title 22 <br />site requirements for connection. Such sites will be connected during future new/redevelopment. <br />The City continues to encourage customers located along the existing recycled water distribution system <br />to convert to recycled water. The connection fee to service new irrigation accounts is lower for recycled <br />water than potable water. All new or redevelopment projects within the recycled water distribution area <br />with irrigation meters (i.e., meters that service strictly landscape irrigation) are conditioned to convert to <br />recycled water. Additionally, irrigation meters servicing City-owned properties within the recycled water <br />distribution area have been converted to recycled water. The City’s ongoing actions to encourage the use <br />of recycled water are summarized in Table 6-7. <br />Table 6-7 Methods to Encourage Future Recycled Water Use (DWR Table 6-6) <br />Name of Action Description <br />Planned <br />Implementation <br />Year <br />Expected Increase in <br />Recycled Water Use <br />(AFY) <br />Financial Incentives Reduced connection fees for <br />new recycled water meters Ongoing 112 <br />Conditional Requirement <br />for New/Redevelopment <br />Projects <br />All landscape irrigation meters <br />will be converted to recycled <br />water along the recycled <br />water distribution system <br />Ongoing 0 <br />Total 112
