SUMMARY: Draft Ordinance No. 198 (Exhibit 14-A) amends the Rule 11 definitions for
“new construction” and “Main California American Water System” and adds
definitions for “Dormitory Bed at Educational Institution” and “Advanced
Treated Recycled Water.” The ordinance also amends Rule 23 for clarity and
reorganizes metering requirements to fall under Mandatory Conditions. Finally,
the ordinance codifies language in Rule 24 that was adopted by the Board
through Urgency Ordinance No. 196 in August 2024 that clarified the second
bathroom protocol.
The
Water Demand Committee considered the ordinance on June 5, 2025. The committee
unanimously supported moving the ordinance to the Board.
RECOMMENDATION: The Board
should receive public comment before approving the first reading of Ordinance
No. 198.
