NO. all SUBJECT: German Alvarez, Assistant General Manager of Finance and Administration (4____ Annual Water Conservation Reports for Fiscal Years 2005 and 2006 GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION: For the Board to receive an update on the District's FY 2005 and FY 2006 Water Conservation Best Management Practice Reports. This item is informa·tional only and does not require Board action. COMMITTEE ACTION: See Attachment "AH PURPOSE: To provide the Board a summary of the 2005 and 2006 annual Water Conservation Best Management Practices Reports. These reports are submitted to the California Urban Water Conservation Council (CUWCC) every two years. ANALYSIS: The District voluntarily agreed to implement the fourteen water conservation Best Management Practices (BMPs) beginning in 1992, as one of the original signatories to the Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Urban Water Conservation in California. The District submits its annual report to the CUWCC every two years for the past two recently completed fiscal years. The FY 05 and 06 BMP reports must be submitted by December 1, 2006. The District's BMP reports are also an element of its Urban Water Management Plan. The District is required to submit an Urban Water Management Plan every five years to the Department of Water Resources, and this Plan focuses heavily on an agency's water conservation efforts. Non-compliance with the BMPs may ultimately impact future growth, as this report is submitted as part of SB 221/610 reporting requirements. Both the Department of Water Resources and the United States Bureau of Reclamation restrict grant funding only to water agencies who implement the BMPs. Once submitted to the CUWCC, the District's BMP reports become open to the public. By participating in regionally implemented programs with Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MET) and the San Diego County Water Authority (Water Authority), the District is able to meet its water conservation goals in a cost-effective manner. The District's water conservation program activity to date resulted in water savings of 1,165 acre-feet last fiscal year. Without these Water Conservation programs, the District would need to spend $788,700 to purchase this water last fiscal year, at a marginal cost of $677 per acre-foot. As a water retailer, the District reports on 13 BMPs. In addition to the BMPs, Otay also reports on the number of accounts by customer class and details its supply sources. Listed below is a summary of the BMPs to be submitted to the CUWCC along with the District's breakdown of water use by account type. Water Use by Customer Class In Fiscal Year 2006, the District's residential single family customers comprised 90% of the total accounts and represented 55% of the total demand. It is estimated that over 60% of that sector's demand is applied to landscapes. The District's irrigation accounts also continue to grow over time and have doubled since 1997, from 841 accounts to 1692 accounts at the end of FY 2006. Irrigation accounts represent 24% of the District's overall demand. Overall, it is estimated that at least 65% of the district's water is used for irrigation, since many of the commercial, institutional and multi-family accounts are mixed use meters such as Cuyamaca College, Southwestern College and Sharp's Chula Vista. The District estimates that it has 422 mixed-use commercial and institutional meters. 2 FY 2006 Water Usage by Account Type Other, 3% '""'"''"''·"~.<~ Comm"''''·'~ MIIR~fAmlly, 8% Water Savings 1990 to 2006: Slngle·lamlly, 55% As noted in the chart below, the District's water savings continue to increase each year since 1990 when the first water conservation programs began. The District's water savings goal for the "Total Water Saved" performance measure for FY 07 is 1,271 acre-feet. The chart reflects water savings attributed to devices replaced or surveys conducted through water conservation programs. OWD Annual Water Savings (AF/year) 1990-1991· 1992· 1993· 1994-1995· 1996· 1997· 1996-1999-2000-2001-2002-2003· 2004· 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1996 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 Fl1caiYear 3 The pie chart below highlights where the bulk of the District's water savings is achieved by program. Over time, savings attributed to commercial, high efficiency clothes washer and landscape programs is expected to grow. ULFT Program 698.83 AF, 65% Large Landscape 223.5 AF, 21% BMP Report Summary : BMP 1: Residential Survey Program ID Large Landscape Ill ULFT Program 0 HEW Residential 0 Commercial Programs • Residential Surveys m Showerheads This BMP requires an agency to offer and complete residential surveys for 15% of its single family and 15% of its multi-family accounts within ten years of the date implementation was to commence (1997). Through the end of FY 06, one thousand and seven surveys were conducted in Otay since the program began back in 1995. Surveys were directly marketed to the District's top residential customers as well as on its web page and at events. While in the past the District and the Authority each paid one-forth the cost of the survey and MET paid the remainder, beginning in FY 05, MET stopped funding residential surveys, and CWA only provided a limited amount of funding for surveys. Surveys typically involve checking for toilet leaks, measuring showerhead and faucet flow rates, reviewing the irrigation system, timers, and developing an irrigation schedule. The District is currently behind schedule (by 1,588 SF surveys) in meeting the coverage requirements of this BMP. 4 This BMP is scheduled to sunset on June 30, 2007 and be replaced with the proposed BMP 15. BMP 2: Residentia~ P~umbing Retro£it This BMP involves the distribution of showerheads until 75% of the District's pre-1992 single-family households have low flow showerheads using 2.5 gallons per minute (gpm) or less. The 2.5 gpm requirement has been a Federal standard since January 1, 1994. The Authority and its member agencies distributed over 550,000 showerheads between 1991 and 2002, and there is a 4% estimated replacement rate. In addition, the District distributed three hundred and sixty-one 2.0 gpm showerheads to its customers over the last two fiscal years. The District is in compliance with the coverage requirements of this BMP. BMP 3: System Water Audits, Leak Detection and Repair A pre-screening audit was completed to determine if the District's water loss exceeds 10%. The pre-screening audit totals the metered sales and other verifiable uses and then divides them by the total supply. If the pre-screening audit indicates that water loss exceeded 10%, then the District is required to complete a full system audit. Water loss was 2% in FY 05 and 9% in FY 06. The District is in compliance with the coverage requirements of this BMP. BMP 4: Metering with Commodity Rates £or a~~ New Connections and Retro£it o£ Existing Connections This BMP asks if meters are installed for all new connections, and if customers are billed by volume of use. In addition, this BMP asks if a feasibility study has been conducted to assess the merits of developing a mixed meter retrofit program. Otay has installed meters at all of its 47,400 connections, but has not conducted a mixed meter retrofit feasibility study. The vast majority of the District's commercial meters with over an acre of landscape have separate irrigation meters. Since 1990, new commercial accounts situated on parcels of at least an acre are required to have a dedicated irrigation meter. The District is in compliance with the coverage requirements of this BMP. BMP 5: Large Landscape Conservation Programs and Incentives This BMP involves targeting water conservation programs to large (1 acre+) landscape accounts and asks whether the District's dedicated irrigation meters have water budgets. At the end of 5 fiscal year 2006, the District had 1,692 dedicated irrigation accounts. Beginning in FY 2005, the District participated in a web-based water budget reporting program. Roughly half of the District's accounts signed up to be notified of their monthly water budget through this program. The District has actively promoted large landscape surveys since 1990, and over 175 audits have been completed. The coverage requirements for this BMP involve meeting all three conditions for compliance: developing water budgets for 90% of its dedicated irrigation meters, offering landscape surveys to at least 20% of its commercial and institutional mixed use meters, and implementing a dedicated landscape meter retrofit program for mixed use meters or assigning water budgets to mixed use meters. Until recently, the District was not certain how many mixed use meters were in place. Section 27 of the District's Code of Ordinances has required the installation of dedicated irrigation meters on commercial parcels of an acre or more since 1990 and allowed for the purchase of a separate irrigation meter beginning in 1993. For this reason, the District wrote that our program and ordinance is "at least as effective as" the coverage requirements of this BMP. BMP 6: High-E££iciency (HE) C~othes Washing Machine Rebate Programs Since 1994, the District has offered a financial incentive toward the purchase of a high-efficiency clothes washer. The District and the Authority collectively offer a $125 voucher, providing 4,015 vouchers in Otay since 1994. As highlighted on the chart below, the District provided 1,031 HE Clothes Washer Vouchers in FY 05 and 807 in FY 06. Beginning July 1, 2005 the $125 voucher was only available for high efficiency clothes washers (HEWs) with a water factor of 6.0 or less. HEWs with a water factor of 6.0 or less are estimated to save 9,100 gallons per household per year over the fourteen year lifespan of the machine .. The District is meeting the coverage requirements of this BMP. 6 1200 1000 800 800 400 200 0 94-95 95-96 96-97 97-98 Otay HE Wnhar activity 1994-2008 98-99 99-00 00-01 Year BMP 7: Pub~ic In£or.mation Programs 01-02 02-03 03-04 04-05 05-06 The District maintains an active public information program to promote and educate customers about water conservation and its water conservation programs. Otay actively promotes its water conservation programs through community events, on its web page, in the quarterly Pipeline customer newsletter, through bill messages, and in bill inserts. Outreach to Otay customers regarding the Water Conservation Garden is included under this BMP report. Beginning in FY 05, this BMP report no longer includes outreach by the Authority on behalf of the District. The District is meeting the coverage requirements of this BMP. BMP 8: Schoo~ Education Program The District and Water Authority school program efforts within Otay are highlighted in this BMP. Since the school education program began in 1990, over 96,000 students have participated in the school education program and over 6,200 students have participated in the program over the last two fiscal years. The programs include distribution of classroom kits to teachers, funding for school buses to visit the Garden, and teacher workshops. For the first time, beginning in FY 2005, the Water Authority's school program activity is not included within the report. The District is meeting the coverage requirements of this BMP. 7 BMP 9: Conservation Programs for Commercial, Institutional and Industrial Accounts In conjunction with the Water Authority and MET, the District offers vouchers of either $135 for ultra-low flush toilets or $165 for high efficiency toilets, $130 for single load or $775 for multi-load commercial clothes washers, $625 for cooling towers and $60 for pre-rinse spray valves. In addition to the programs noted, the District partnered with the Water Authority to fund water surveys for its top two institutional water users. The District is currently behind schedule in meeting the coverage requirements of this BMP. BMP 10: Wholesale Agency Assistance Program This BMP is not applicable to retail water agencies BMP 11: Conservation Pricing Otay detailed its pricing structure in this BMP as well as how much revenue is collected through both water and sewer customer classes including: residential, commercial, industrial, institutional/government, irrigation, and other. The District will be in compliance with this BMP once it moves from flat to volumetric charges for its sewer customers. BMP 12: Conservation Coordinator The District has had a Water Conservation Coordinator/Manager since the spring of 1991. This BMP asks how much of the Coordinator's time is spent on water conservation, their experience, and the conservation budget. The District is in compliance with the requirements of this BMP. BMP 13: Water Waste Prohibition The District complies with this BMP through its water waste prohibition ordinance, listed within Section 39 of its Code of Ordinances. BMP 14: Residential ULFT Replacement Programs Since 1992, the District has replaced 20,430 older toilets with 1.6 gallon per flush toilets as noted on the chart below. Customers were offered either a $75 voucher to install an Ultra Low Flush Toilet (ULFT), or a $95 voucher towards the installation of a dual-flush toilet. The District reports the 8 number of toilets installed in multi-family vs. single family accounts and beginning in FY 05, lists the number of dual-flush or high efficiency toilets (maximum of 1.28 gallons per flush) installed through the program. The District is currently behind schedule (by between 600 to 1000 ULFTs depending on whether they are installed in a single-family or multi-family setting) in implementing this BMP due to the low number of multi-family accounts that have replaced their older toilets. 2500 2000 1500 1000 500 0 Otay ULFT activity 1991-2006 91-92 92-93 93-94 94-95 95-96 96-97 97-98 96-99 99-00 00-01 01-02 02-03 03-04 04-05 05-06 Year 9 FISCAL IMPACT: None STRATEGIC GOAL: The District's performance measures of "total water saved" and "Water Conservation Garden Awareness" are directly related to implementation of the fourteen Best Management Practices.

If YES, please explain in detail how your implementation of this BMP differs from Exhibit 1 and why you consider it to be "at least as effective as." D. Comments Surveys were offered on a case-by case basis and while evaluating sites for our pilot Cash for Plants program. Beginning last fiscal year, this program was not funded at any levels we could market (they offered to co- fund approximately 20 surveys, and near the end of the fiscal year there was an offer to co-fund surveys retoactively by MET but it was too late to promote them. Instead, program emphasis shifted to the promotion of an incentive for residential smart irrigation controllers and surveys were offered during this time. Honeywell's bid to conduct residential surveys and their cost was dramatically higher than in past years. 2 residential smart controllers were installed through the voucher program that offered $65 per "smart" controller through the 2nd quarter of this fiscal year. Another 76 "smart" controllers were distributed in March, April and June of this fiscal year. http://bmp.cuwcc.orglbmp/print/printall.lasso Page4 of37 11/2112006 CUWCC I Print All Page 5 of37 Reported as of 11/2 BMP 02: Residential Plumbing Retrofit Reporting Unit: BMP Form Status: Otay Water District 100% Complete Year: 2006 A.

The San Diego County Water Authority and its member agencies distributed over 550,000 showerheads between 1991 and 2002. The average rate of natural replacement is 4.0%, while housing demolition in 0.5%. And, effective January 1, 1994 showerheads manufactured in the United States must be 2.5 gpm maximum. Data from the 01/02 Residential Survey Program showed a 80-95% home saturation. The Otay Water District is one of five agencies within the San Diego County that will be participating in an upcoming (beginning late FY 07) California Single-Family Residential Water Efficiency Study.

The programs were marketed to all of the district's 1600 landscape accounts but specifically to accounts who had already received a large landscape survey {previously called PALM surveys). There was limited funding for large landscape surveys this fiscal year. The programs were marketed through direct mail as well as on the water bills. Staff also called a number of the district's largest landscape accounts to explain the program and there was cross marketing from the district's pilot Cash for Plants turfgrass retrofit program. The pilot Cash for Plants program ran through December of 2005. 2. Number of Surveys Offered during reporting year. 3. Number of Surveys Completed during reporting year. 700 3 4.

On October 17, 1990 the Otay Water District passed Ordinance No. 367 which mandated the installation of a separate landscape meter on commercial or industrial properties if they are located on a parcel of land an acre or more in size. Then in December of 1993, the District approved http://bmp.cuwcc.orglbmp/print/printall.lasso 1112112006 CUWCC I Print All Page 14 of37 Ordinance No. 424 allowing commercial customers who obtained a single water meter to October 1990 to obtain a second meter for indoor use without paying water capacity fees if the additional meter is solely for the purpose of isolating current indoor water use from that used for outdoor landscaping. The landscape meter requirement is found in Section 27 of the District*s Code of Ordinances. 6: The District installed three water "smart" irrigation controllers around its offices this fiscal year. E. Comments 4. a. Jamacha Park HOA received two CLIP grants and upgraded their irrigation system as well as installed a smart irrigation controller. Funding shown above also includes incentives for 2 "smart" controllers. Additionally, one "smart" controller was provided to a landscape account through the distribution program. Home Owners Associations with significant turfgrass areas were encouraged to replace their turfgrass with waterwise plant material through the District's pilot Cash for Plants program. Funding was limited to four sites at $6,000 per site. In addition, a $30,000 incentive ($10K from CWA) was available for installing artificial turf grass in sports fields. Both programs were promoted through either direct mailing or by cold calling high schools within the District. At the beginning of this FY, the Water Authority hired ConserVision to develop a web-based water budget reporting program for its member agencies. This program was running by about the mid point of the fiscal year. http:/ /bmp. cuwcc.org/bmp/print/printall.lasso 11121/2006 CUWCC I Print All Page 15 of37 Reported as of 11/2 BMP 06: High-Efficiency Washing Machine Rebate Programs Reporting Unit: Otay Water District A.

An agency must meet one condition to comply with BMP 11. Reporting Period: 05-06 Yes Agency shall maintain rate structure consistent with BMP 11's definition of conservation pricing. Implementation methods shall be at least as effective as eliminating non-conserving pricing and adopting conserving pricing. For signatories supplying both water and sewer service, this BMP applies to pricing of both water and sewer service. Signatories that supply water but not sewer service shall make good faith efforts to work with sewer agencies so that those sewer agencies adopt conservation pricing for sewer service. a) Non·conserving pricing provides no incentives to customers to reduce use. Such pricing is characterized by one or more of the following components: rates in which the unit price decreases as the quantity used increases (declining block rates);rates lhat involve charging customers a fixed amount per billing cycle regardless of the quantity used; pricing in which the typical bill is determined by high fixed charges and low commodity-charges. b) Conservation pricing provides incentives to customers to reduce average or peak use, or both. Such pricing includes: rates designed to recover the cost of providing service; and billing for water and sewer service based on metered water use. Conservation pricing is also characterized by one or more of the following components: rates in which the unit rate is constant regardless of the quantity used (uniform rates) or increases as the quantity used increases (increasing block rates); seasonal rates or excess·USe surcharges to reduce peak demands during summer months; rates based upon the longrun marginal cost or the cost of adding the next unit of capacity to the system.

If YES to 2 OR 4 above, please describe how saturation was determined, including the dates and results of any survey research. The San Diego County Water Authority and its member agencies distributed over 550,000 showerheads between 1991 and 2002. The average rate of natural replacement is 4.0%, while housing demolition in 0.5%. And, effective January 1, 1994 showerheads manufactured in the United States must be 2.5 gpm maximum. Data from the 01/02 Residential Survey Program showed a 80-95% home saturation. The Otay Water District is one of five agencies within the San Diego County that will be participating in an upcoming (beginning late FY 07) California Single-Family Residential Water Efficiency Study. B. Low-Flow Device Distribution Information 1. Has your agency developed a targeting/ marketing strategy for distributing low-flow devices? a. If YES, when did your agency begin implementing this strategy? b. Describe your targeting/ marketing strategy. yes 1/1/1992 Over 550,000 showerheads have been distributed in the region to date. Marketing that has been done in the San Diego region includes the following: residential survey distribution, direct distribution to customers (lobby counter), distribution at community events, by customer request and distribution at CBO events. In addition, this fiscal year, the Otay Water District distributed 300 showerheads to customers who came in to pay their bills or who visited our agency booth at an outreach event. The average rate of natural replacement Is 4% while housing demolition is .5%. Since January 1, 1994 showerheads manufactured in the USA must be in compliance with the 2.5 gpm maximum flow rate.

The programs were marketed to all of the district's 1600 landscape accounts but specifically to accounts who had already received a large landscape survey (previously called PALM surveys). There was limited funding for large landscape surveys this fiscal year. The programs were marketed through direct mail as well as on the water bills. Staff also called a number of the district's largest landscape accounts to explain the program and there was cross marketing from the district's pilot Cash for Plants turfgrass retrofit program. 2.

If YES, please explain in detail how your implementation of this BMP differs from Exhibit 1 and why you consider it to be "at least as effective as." On October 17, 1990 the Otay Water District passed Ordinance No. 367 which mandated the installation of a separate landscape meter on commercial or industrial properties if they are located on a parcel of land an acre or more in size. Then in December of 1993, the District approved Ordinance No. 424 allowing commercial customers who obtained a single water meter to October 1990 to obtain a second meter for indoor http:/ lbmp.cuwcc.org/bmp/print/printall.lasso 11/2112006 CUWCC I Print All use without paying water capacity fees if the additional meter is solely for the purpose of isolating current indoor water use from that used for outdoor landscaping. The landscape meter requirement is found in Section 27 of the District•s Code of Ordinances. E. Comments 4. a. Home Owners Associations with significant turfgrass areas were encouraged to replace their turfgrass with waterwise plant material through the District's pilot Cash for Plants program. Funding was limited to four sites at $6,000 per site. In addition, a $30,000 incentive ($10K from CWA) was available for installing artificial turf grass in sports fields. Both programs were promoted through either direct mailing or by cold calling high schools within the District. At the beginning of this FY, the Water Authority hired ConserVision to develop a web-based water budget reporting program for its member agencies. This program was running by about the mid point of the fiscal year. http://bmp.cuwcc.org/bmp/printlprintall.lasso Page 14 of36 1112112006 CUWCC I Print All Page 15 of36 Reported as of 11/2 BMP 06: High-Efficiency Washing Machine Rebate Programs Reporting Unit: Otay Water District A.
