Members present included Jerry Kane, Don King, John McHugh, Herman Johnson, Allen Schoen, Billy Dick, Dr. Russell Miget, Carola Serrato, Gene Dressen, James Naismith, Capt. Anthony C. Alejandro, Mark Smith, Dan Davis, Eugene Urban, Charles Bird, Terry Boone, James Gill, Jim Parker, Caralee Dibble, Dale Nelson, Robert Johanson, Douglas Matthews and Ray Allen. City staff members present included Bill Hennings, Carl Crull, Victor S. Medina, Eduardo Garana, Hubert Hall, James Dodson, Malcolm Matthews, Yolanda R. Marruffo and Maria Bazan. Visitors included Paul Werner and George D. Rangel. Dr. McNichols discussed the benefits of the diversified group and the responsibility of the Committee to advise the City Council on short-term water conservation issues. • James Dodson requested that the Committee members review the Orientation Manual which discussed the responsibilities of City boards, committees and commissions. The Committee appointed James Dodson as interim facilitator. Mr. Dodson recommended that a member of the group be appointed interim chairman at the next meeting, and that a date for election of a chairman and vice-chairman be set for a future meeting. - -- AMENDMENT TO DROUGHT CONTINGENCY PLAN - CONDITION I James Dodson presented information on the City's Drought Contingency Plan. He stated that the City has worked on the acquisition of water for the next fifty years. He stated that the task of the Committee would be to focus on the extension of our water supplies for the next one to two year period. He reported that it has been since July 1993 that both reservoirs were at full capacity. He presented statistical data which demonstrates that we are experiencing drought conditions; however, he felt it would be a challenge to convince the community which is already water efficient to save additional water. He reflected on the 33 percent savings which was achieved during the 1984 drought. He stated that the Committee should consider short-run strategies such as reviewing the trigger levels of the Drought Contingency Plan. Don King asked for clarification of the drought contingency provisions in the freshwater inflow plan. James Dodson stated that if the City enters Condition II of the Drought Contingency Plan, the City would be able to reduce the 23,500 acre feet freshwater release requirement for May 1996 to 1,200 acre feet. However, the City would petition TNRCC to suspend the fresh water releases for May and June without going into Condition II. Jerry Kane inquired about the regional water demand in 1984 verses 1996. James Dodson reported that the average annual water use during 1984 was approximately 120,000 acre feet. During 1995, water demand had increased to 130,000 acre feet per year. Mr. Kane stated that the City needed to fix the problem and consider developing the pipeline from Lake Texana. Discussion followed on the City's reservoir system dependable yield. Mr. Dodson reported that it was probably 30 percent less than originally estimated and would continue to diminish due to sedimentation. Carola Serrato inquired about the 33 percent water savings that could be achieved and how much of that would be for industrial verses residential water savings. Mr. Dodson reported that in a study conducted by the Texas Water Development Board, the co-efficient of potential water savings for local industrial users was measured at zero. Our local industrial water users utilize about 50 percent as much water to produce one barrel of oil as compared to other cities in Texas. Mr. Dodson stated that 33 percent of the savings could be achieved if we went into Condition III and IV of the Drought Contingency Plan. SCANNED Jerry Kane asked how long it would take the City to build a pipeline from Lake Texana: Carl Crull responded that an estimated four year period would be needed. In regards to existing pipelines, he stated that most pipelines between Lake Texana and Corpus Christi are being used to transport natural gas to the mideast. The City would consider issuing a request for proposal to solicit the use of a pipeline, or other means of conveying Lake Texana water to Corpus Christi. Ford Patton inquired about the operational efficiency of the reservoir system. Mr. Dodson reported that TNRCC favored lowering Lake Corpus Christi to 76 feet, however, that would place the lake's elevation below the cities of Beeville and Alice intake pump stations. Don King moved that the Committee recommended to the City Council amending the Drought Contingency Plan Condition I trigger level from 28 percent to 40 percent of rese`rvoir's capacity. Jerry Kane seconded the motion. Discussion followed on whether neighboring cities would be required to limit their lawn watering from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. James Naismith stated that he and James Dodson had previously discussed the issue and felt it was only fair that neighboring cities adopt the sameregulations and ordinances as adopted by Corpus Christi. Richard Hessee asked if there were any quantifiable savings in imposing the odd/even water use schedule. Mr. Dodson stated that the odd/even water schedule created community awareness and that quantifiable data was not available. _ James Naismith inquired if there would be any negative issues regarding the amendment to the Drought Contingency Plan, Condition I to include a 40 percent trigger level. Concern was expressed that the public could see the Council's action as a late reaction toward amending the Drought Contingency Plan to change the trigger point to 40 percent since the reservoir capacity was already at 38.6 percent. Mr. Kane stated that regardless of the trigger point set to initiate Condition I of the Drought Contingency Plan,we should strongly recommend to the City Council to move with haste on the transmission of water from Lake Texana. Mr. Kane felt that the public would be confused if the Council set the trigger point at 35 or 37.5 percent of capacity. Thepossibility existed that inflows would occur during April, May and June. He cautioned that the City should avoid moving in and out of Condition I. The Committee voted 12 in favor of and 10 against amending the trigger point of Condition I of the Drought Contingency Plan to 40 percent. Paul Werner inquired if. Conditions II, Ill and IV would be amended. Mr. Dodson stated that the Committee would be asked to review the trigger levels at a later meeting. LAWN WATERING ORDINANCE Mr. Dodson presented information on the lawn watering ordinance and opened it for discussion. Allen Schoen stated that the Mayor's Task Force on Water Conservation Subcommittee had developed the ordinance in 1994 when the City's reservoir system was at above 60 percent of capacity. He stated that the ordinance mirrored those developed for San Antonio, Phoenix and El Paso. He encouraged that the City Council provide a funding mechanism for education. An inquiry was made regarding the enforcement of the ordinance. Mr. Dodson stated that Water Division employees would be responsible for issuing citations. Mr. Werner stated that in 1984, neighbors reported each other. Ray Allen proposed that the ordinance be in effect year around rather than during daylight savings time. Jim Naismith seconded the motion. James Gill stated that the ordinance was too simplistic and did not address water saving techniques. He felt that water savings could be achieved by the public through the use of water efficient showerheads and toilets. He felt that it was not a good ordinance and that the public would over water lawns during nonrestricted hours, and proposed that the City implement an education program instead. Allen Schoen stated that the ordinance discouraged people from watering their lawns during periods when evaporation and wind were in peak conditions. Mr. Dodson stated that there were alternatives to provide behavior modification in outdoor water use such as a program known as feebates, which penalizes customers who consume high quantities of water and rewards those who maintain minimum water use. Mr. Kane stated that failure to enforce the ordinance would sound more loudly than the adoption of it. Billy Dick favored the lawn ordinance as the Portland water treatment plant would have a shift in the hours of peak water demand, thus making their system more capable of meeting the area's needs. Mr. Kane motioned to adopt a year around ordinance restricting the use of lawn watering during the hours of 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. with exceptions as allowed by the ordinance. The Committee voted 17 in favor of and four against providing a recommendation to City Council to adopt a year around lawn watering ordinance. Mr. Kane also made a motion, seconded by Mr. Richard Hessee, to recommend to the City Council that they proceed as soon as possible with all measures necessary to convey water from Lake Texana to Corpus Christi. After a brief discussion, the Committee voted to approve Mr. Kane's motion. Other Business _ _ Discussion followed on the capacity of the City's water wells. Victor Medina stated that the existing wells could produce approximately 27 million gallons a day(MGD) of water. He further stated that the City was in the processing of hiring a consultant to review the efficiency of the wells to bring them to maximum operating capacity. Mr. Schoen stated that he would like to discuss at the next meeting the possibility of transferring wastewater effluent back to the reservoirs. The Committee agreed to meet on Wednesday, April 3, 1996. With no further discussion, the meeting was adjourned at 4:00 p.m. (11 ofTO: Water Conservation Advisory Committee Members COus FROM: James Dodson, Regional Water Director DATE: March 27, 1996 Christi RE: City Council Action on Committee Recommendations on Watering of Vegetation and Drought Contingency • Trigger Levels Proposed Ordinance Prohibiting the Watering of Vegetation During Certain Hour The Water Conservation Advisory Committee had voted to recommend that the City Council enact an ordinance that would prohibit the watering of vegetation between the hours of 10:00 am and 6:00 pm on a year-round basis. The attached ordinance was placed on the Council's agenda for March 26, 1996. However, prior to the Council considering the item, the City Manager asked the Mayor to pull that item from the agenda. Several Council members had expressed to the City Manager their concern over that portion of the proposed ordianance that makes it an offense to allow"excess water to run off vegetation into gutters or streets, regardless of the time the person is watering." Their concern seems to be the potential compliance problems this could create for various customers, including commercial operations and municipal operations. The Council would like to have the Advisory Committee take another look at the proposed ordinance. Proposed Ordinance Raising the Condition I Trigger Level to 40% The Council did approve this proposed ordinance on first reading. However, there was some discussion of one of the provisions contained in Condition I. Measure#6 of Condition I provides: 6. City Council declares drought condition exists and implements water conservation and rationing plan. Council member Martin was concerned that the wording,particularly the term"rationing"is too severe to describe the generally voluntary compliance measures contained in Condition I. The City Manager responded that the ordinance could be amended prior to second reading to address these concerns, and that the Advisory Committee might want to look at all the measures in Condition I at the next meeting since it would be going into effect immediately if approved at the second reading on April 9, 1996. Water Conservation Advisory Committee March 27, 1996 Page two I believe the Council will move forward on these two items with the Advisory Committee's input. These two issues will be back on the committee agenda for the meeting on April 3, 1996. I look forward to seeing you then. z / 4%24- c>42—e/o-Pi"-- ames A. Dodson attachments 1 of TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: James Dodson, Regional Water Director C OCorpus DATE: March 22, 1996 Chi'isti RE: An Ordinance Prohibiting Watering of Vegetation at Certain Times BACKGROUND The wise and effective use of the limited freshwater resources available to this region is of utmost importance to the public health, safety, and welfare. At any time,whether the reservoirs are full or not,water should be used in the most efficient maser possible. Water conservation techniques are designed to increase water use efficiency,prevent the waste of water and generally decrease the overall demand for water. One of the water conservation techniques that has been considered for many areas of the country that have high evaporation rates is prohibiting the watering of vegetation during the peak evaporative hours. Decreasing evaporative losses means that less water can be used to achieve the same benefits. Studies have shown that as much as a 60%increase inefficiency can result. PROPOSED ORDINANCE The attached ordinance is largely the result of the work of the Mayor's Water Advisory Committee, Subcommittee on Water Conservation, and has been recommended in its final form by the newly established Water Conservation Advisory Commitee. The ordinance would amend Chapter 55,Article VI of the Corpus Christi Code of Ordinances to add a new Section 55-96 that would prohibit the watering of vegetation,by any means, during the period from 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., year-round. It would also make it a violation to allow excess water to run off vegetation into gutters or streets at any time. The ordinance provides for several exceptions, so that it would not be a violation if • (1) the water did not come from the City's potable water distribution system; (2) the water was used in the operation of a commercial nursery; (3) the water was used on newly planted or transplanted vegetation, for a period up to 15 days after the vegetation was planted or transplanted, providing that it was applied by hand held hose, drip irrigation system or an attended or automatic sprinkler system; and (4) the water was used in testing an underground irrigation system during installation, maintenance or repair. 127 Penalties for violation are a Class C misdemeanor. However,the first and second violation would be handled by issuing a warning and providing the offender with informational material to educate them on proper watering techniques. Only on the third and subsequent offenses would a citation be issued. ffpRM s TION AND EDUCATIQL depend efficacy of the ordinance will primarily d end on the concurrent enactment of an intensive information and education program designed to provide the public with a clear understanding of efficient watering techniques. Much of the problem that currently exists can be attributed to a lack of understanding of the water needs of turf and garden vegetation. Information needs to be provided that is specific to the soiland climate conditions of this region. In addition to watering during periods of high evaporation, many water users tend to water too frequently, and without proper consideration of the antecedent soil moisture levels. The primary goal of the proposed ordinance is to increase public efficient use of our ss of proper wawatering techniques, and,in turn,to gradually change behavior to more er resources. It is not a short-term measure designed to drastically reduce water demand during periods of water shortage,but rather,when combined with a targeted information program,is a long-term measure designed to encourage overall water conservation and permanent reductions in per capita water use. One of the additonal benefits of the proposed ordinance is shifting the main component of outdoor water use to off-peak hours for the ter distribution implemented similar ordinances have reported significantreductions in peak-hour demands,thus reducing system operating expenses and,potentially, deferring the need for capital intensive system capacity expansions to meet peak-hour demands. RECOMMENDATION Approval of the proposed ordinance as recommended by the Water Conservation Advisory Committee. J A.

March 22. 1996(11:36am) ag5000.548vr 130 1ity of TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: James Dodson, Regional Water Director Corpus DATE: March 22, 1996 ChflStiRE: Ordinance to Amend the 1987 Water Conservation and • Drought Contingency Plan to Raise the Condition I Trigger Level JACKGROUND The last severe drought experienced in this area, which resulted in the rationing of water for residential use in the summer of 1984, gave rise to a planning effort that culminated in a comprehensive`Water Conservation and Drought Contingency Plan" dated September, 1986, that was adopted by City Council(Ord. No. 19637) on February 17, 1987. The preface of the plan states that it is anticipated that the plan would be "regularly updated as water supply technology changes." The drought contingency portion of the plan describes the four different stages of action that would be implemented as a water shortage in the Choke Canyon/Lake Corpus Christi Reservoir System becomes more severe. Drought, in this plan, is defined by the criteria of reservoir storage conditions, with each stage, or"Condition"of the plan being tied to a certain"trigger level"of system storage. The first trigger level,where Condition I would be enacted, was set to be approximately 28% of the total reservoir system capacity, or about 260,000 acre-feet of water in storage. This was thought to be a two-year supply for the region at the annual demand levels for that time. Condition I measures are primarily designed to promote voluntary reductions in water use. The strategy is to provide information, education and assistance for system customers so that everyone is aware of the possibility of a water shortage, and to begin making preparations for later conditions should the situation continue to worsen. The first water use restriction that would be implemented under Condition I is that the mimcipal operations of the City are placed on mandatory water conseration. The City may also implement "odd-even"lawn watering, where a customer with an odd number street address may only water vegetation on odd number days and customers with even number street addresses may water only on even number days, as designated by the City Manager. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO DROUGUT CONTINGENCY PLAN The existing trigger level of 28%for enacting Condition I was originally designed to provide that this area would have sufficient water supplies in storage to meet the region's demands through an extended period of drought. The 28%level corresponds to approximately 260,000 acre-feet of _ 131 • water in storage. Under the reservoir system operating policies in effect at that time, and the ter demands of that period,this may have been adequate. However,recent experience shows waterg the 10-month that the reservoir system storage decreased over 200,000 260,000 act acr�feet do snot appear to be period from May, 1995 Through February, 1996. Thus, endable water supply through a sufficient to provide a reasonable level of assurance for a dep severe drought. and attempts to prevent the water supply from In order to provide that the region acts early, level for Condition I be increased to a higher reaching more critical levels,it has been proposed that the triggercreated Water percentage of sytem storage capacity. The newly Conservatione Advisory Committee met on March 20, 1996 and voted to recommend 373,000h capacity. This would be approximately Condition I trigger level be set at 40% of system � or 38.1% acre-feet of water in storage. As of this date,the reservoir storage is 355,661 acre-feet, of system capacity.
