RULE 162    STAGE 2 WATER CONSERVATION

 

A.         Stage 2 Water Conservation is defined as the second stage in the District’s Expanded Water Conservation and Standby Rationing Plan that takes action to maintain Cal-Am water use from the MPWRS below regulatory constraints by requiring implementation of landscape water budgets for large irrigators of three acres or more, large residential water users and water users with dedicated landscape water meters.

 

B.          Stage  2  Water  Conservation  shall  be  enforced  when  Cal-Am  production from the MPWRS has exceeded the year-to-date at month-end target as displayed in Table 1, and Cal-Am unaccounted for water uses are at or below an average of seven (7) percent for the most recent twelve-month period.

 

Prior to implementation of Stage 2 Water Conservation, the General Manager shall review the Cal-Am unaccounted for water uses in the MPWRS and shall determine that unaccounted for water uses are at or below an average of seven percent for the most recent twelve month period.  In the event unaccounted for water uses exceed seven percent, Cal-Am shall immediately submit a plan to the General Manager to reduce unaccounted for water uses and shall immediately act on such plan.  The General Manager shall have the authority to delay implementation of Stage 2 Water Conservation for one month to allow Cal-Am sufficient time to correct unaccounted for water uses to achieve the year-to-date production at month-end target in the following month.
