Yes What district do you reside in? District 2 Topic DCP& Desalination Agenda Item Number N/A Comment The DCP is a joke of a plan! It so clearly favors industry over residents and residents will be hurt the most by this plan. It is so disappointing to see our city leaders make such terrible decisions with our limited resources.The water is for the people.The city sold off our water to corporations without consideration for the rest of us and now we will suffer for something we didn't sign on for. I demand for the end of the drought exemption for high volume water uses. It is baffling that the city is prioritizing corporate polluters rather than residents! I demand that it be required that industrial customers curtail their water usage so that we can recuperate our water resources!

In Corpus Christi, For instance, Gulf Coast Growth Ventures,which began operations in 2022, requires approximately 12.5 million gallons of water daily. Combined with Valero,these two entities alone represent about 25%of the region's daily water usage. In contrast,Given that industrial users consume up to 80°%o of the water supply, residential and other non- industrial uses account for the remaining 20%. In Corpus Christi,the total daily water consumption is approximately 85 million gallons. Residents is 500,000 x133 gallons per day=daily usage My water usage in my household is 4 units 133 gallons per day. for 2 story house. This is unetical. That the city accepts the industrial usage at face and citizens have to suffer. City should do better. Example look how other cities are doing drought issues and take notes. Listen to residents and take notes. Anything is better than what your doing now. 1 Provide an email to receive a copy of scammerssuck@myyahoo.com your submission. 2 � o06US C,y,„ Tuesday, February 11,2025 A r 'LC) Public Comment & Input Form For City Council Meetings, Board Meetings, & Commission Meetings To submit a service request,ask a question, report a violation,browse city-required permit forms or access services online,click here: Access Online Services To continue submitting a written public comment click Next below.

Drought Contingency Plan Meeting District 2, 02/05/2025 1.0 Drought Contingency Plan (DCP) A large portion of Corpus Christi's water demands are relatively inflexible, making the City more sensitive to droughts. Therefore, our drought response should be proactive and send strong price signals in order to conserve water without penalizing essential use. Below is a list of recommendations for improvements to the proposed 2025 Drought Contingency Plan and local water conservation efforts. 1.1 Surcharges A. Surcharges Offset Revenue Loss Water conservation results in revenue loss from less water sales. Making up for that loss by increasing next year's water rates sends the wrong signal and may discourage future conservation efforts. Therefore, surcharges from wasteful use must offset this loss. It sends a strong price signal to limit non-essential use and offsets the revenue loss from lower sales. Request • Ensure surcharges are high enough to limit non-essential use while offsetting revenue loss from conservation efforts. Use target reduction goals to assess performance. • Publish the report from surcharge contractors so we can verify surcharges are equitable. • Include 'Example Revenue Impact of Reduced Customer Sales' (Exhibit A, Contra Costa Water District) in DCP. B. Fixed Whole Dollar Surcharges. Proposed 2025 surcharges are expressed in fixed whole dollar amounts. However, water rates will be higher in the future, more revenue will be lost from conservation, and fixed dollar amount surcharges will not offset revenue losses in future droughts. Switching to a multiple of the current rate also reduces the need to update surcharge amounts every five years. Request • Switch whole dollar surcharges to multiple of customer rate, set the multiple so it comes out the same for all stages (i.e. $1 per kgal surcharge is 1/4 of residential water rate) o Use simplest fractions possible (i.e. ' , '/, '/), round up or down as necessary o Provide example with 2024 rates in plan for clarity Example (Brownsville) 1 • Stage 2: For residential accounts, a surcharge of 1.25 x current rate per 1,000 gallons over 7,000 gallons will be added to the customers' bill. Offer • We can draft language with the proposed modifications C. Tiered Surcharge Structure. Proposed 2025 surcharges are single tiered for all user groups. Adding an additional tier will send a strong price signal to encourage further conservation, reduce wasteful use, and maximize beneficial use for all customers. Request • Add a second tier for high users. • Consider a hybrid percent reduction /flat allocation for certain user groups, like irrigation or commercial, to reduce complaints and appeals if necessary. Example • Stage 2: For irrigation accounts, a surcharge of$2.00 per 1,000 gallons over 10,000 gallons will be added to the customers' bill. • Stage 2: For residential accounts, a surcharge of$2.00 per 1,000 gallons over 9,000 gallons will be added to the customers' bill. • Stage 2: For commercial accounts, a surcharge of$2.00 per 1,000 gallons over 70,000 gallons will be added to the customers' bill. Offer • We can draft language with the proposed modifications D. Multifamily Surcharge Equity Multifamily residential water users have primarily indoor water use and cannot reduce their water use as much as the single-family residences, which typically use nearly half of their water outdoors (California Department of Water Resources). Request • Ensure multifamily surcharges are less than single family surcharges. E. Non-exempt Large Volume Surcharges. Proposed 2025 DCP surcharges are so low that they disincentivize drought exemption fee participation. Request • At a minimum, keep 2018 non-exempt large volume surcharges. 2 1.2 Goal Setting F. Set Reduction Goals for Each Drought Stage. The proposed 2025 DCP has target reductions for each stage of drought. However, where these reductions come from has yet to be quantified. Request • Include customer reduction goals as demonstrated in Exhibit B (Contra Costa Water District Water Shortage Contingency Plan) using 2021 sales (latest year without a drought stage), or a more suitable reference year/average. • Goals must be set so that residential allocations never go below a health and safety allocation of 35 GPCD. • Add `goals being met' to the City Manager's regular report in 2025 DCP for all stages. 1.3 Stage 3 Drought Conditions G. Hydrological Stage Condition The triggers chosen for the implementation of different stages of a drought contingency plan, such as lake or aquifer levels, often do not take into account the relative severity of climatic conditions, an oversight that can delay meaningful responses to drought far too long (Texas Living Waters). Request • Incorporate the severity of meteorological conditions, or other similar indicators of drought intensity, into one or more triggers for drought response stages Example (LCRA), Initiate a Drought Stage When: • On March 1 or July 1, the combined storage in lakes Buchanan and Travis is below 1.1 million acre-feet and the cumulative prior three months of inflows total to those lakes is less than the 25th percentile of historic inflows for the three-month periods, or Offer • We can draft language with the proposed modifications. • If Agreed Order prevents this, add to list of considerations for City Manager or designee for implementing stages. H. Include Eastern Supplies in Drought Stage Consideration Eastern supplies make up a significant portion of our water supplies. Therefore, their drought status should be considered when implementing drought stages. Request 3 • Add eastern supplies to the City Manager's or designee's consideration for implementation of drought stages. Example • For a reservoir, group of reservoirs, or the entire BRA System, when the combined storage of the BRA System is below the Stage 1 System Storage Trigger (Table 1) and reasonable estimates of current annual demands, coupled with inflows and evaporation representative of the drought of record, indicate that the combined system storage could be reduced to the Stage 2 System Storage Trigger or less during the next 12 months (BRA). Offer • We can draft language with the proposed modifications. 1.4 Stage 3 Water Use Restrictions for Reducing Demand 1. Pro Rata Water Allocations Allocating water supplies on a pro rata basis to raw water and treated wholesale customers in accordance with Texas Water Code 11.039 can dramatically cut water consumption in order to conserve water supplies. However, the plan does not specify when exactly this will happen. It only mentions that preparations begin in Stage 2 and that the City Manager is authorized to implement allocations during Stage 3. Request • Provide more info in DCP on water allocation procedure. • Start allocation implementation at a specific reservoir level percentage, preferably at 20% since the conditions from 'Goal Setting' for Stage 3 cannot be met without pro rata allocations. Example (LCRA) • If the total combined storage in lakes Buchanan and Travis drops below 600,000 acre-feet, and the LCRA Board of Directors declares a drought Worse than the Drought of Record consistent with the LCRA Water Management Plan (WMP), LCRA will curtail and distribute the available supply of firm water among its firm water customers and firm environmental flow commitments on a pro rata basis according to the amount of firm water to which they are legally entitled consistent with the Pro Rata Plan for Firm Water Demands approved by TCEQ. 1.5 TCEQ Emergency Relief J. TCEQ Emergency Relief According to 'Essentials of Texas Water Resources' (Exhibit C), in order to qualify for relief from the TCEQ, we need to demonstrate that serious drought measures have been instituted and that the feasibility of alternative conservation solutions have been thoroughly explored. 4 Request • Contact the Executive Director of the TCEQ to determine ahead of time the following, in accordance to Texas Water Code section 11.053, o what relief options are available to us, o when would we qualify for relief, and o what proof would we need to provide in order to qualify for relief. 2.0 Non-DCP 2.1 Monthly Conservation Report K. Information Sharing Plan Clearly communicating the results of conservation efforts in relation to drought can provide valuable feedback to residents that encourages further participation. Request • Using public input, formulate a plan for sharing water use and other conservation related metrics for 2025. Suggestions • Present monthly usage and monthly goal in terms of GPCD for each user group. This will show residents how their conservation efforts are paying off and if they need improvement. • Include water loss as a user group. • State conservation success in terms of'days of service' saved. (i.e. last month we conserved 1,000 acre feet, enough for 5 days of service). • Colors for user groups should be the same in all presented media o 'Residential' is orange in 'Monthly Usage', so it should be shades of orange in 'Historic Usage' instead of light blue, blue, and orange. • Present report to City Council or publish to the City website on a monthly basis L. January 2025 CCW Drought Conservation Update At the January 28th City Council meeting CCW presented graphs with Historic and Monthly Usage showing changes in water use over the past three years. We believe this is a step in the right direction, however, the figures do not align with annual 'Water Conservation Reports' (Exhibit D) submitted to the TWDB by the City. We are concerned that the information may be inaccurate and may skew the change-in-use results. 5 Request • Publish Historical Data for the past 5 years from the same data set that CCW is using for the updates. Example • Numbers don't match with CCW's `TWDB Water Conservation Reports'. o CC Municipal totals (23.74 BG vs. 26.9 BG for 2023) o Large Volume (10.77 BG vs. 12.44 BG for 2023) o Is 'residential' single-family only? o It looks like multi-family is included in commercial 0 2022 numbers are also off for all municipal user groups 2.2 Transparency M. Water Use Data and Rate Analysis Public utilities are owned and operated by local, state, or federal governments on behalf of citizens and customers in that area. Publishing historical use and rate analyses on the City's website will help inform residents on how water is used in the area and whether rates have been equitably set. Request • Publish rate report from contractors in 2024 • Publish 'Utility Profile for Retail Water Supplier' reports for the past five years (Exhibit E) 2.3 Water Conservation N. Water Conservation Plan (WCP) The WCP is supposed to be updated every five years alongside the DCP, however not much has been said about the WCP. Question. • Does the City plan on updating its WCP plan anytime soon? If so, when. If not, when can we start working on updating it? O. Community Conservation Program Our community has the opportunity to work together to improve water efficiency and conservation. By bringing together diverse stakeholders, the City can promote community led problem solving through a collaborative partnership like a 'Water Efficiency and Conservation' committee, or advisory council. Community members and the City can work to bring in new programs, improve education outreach, connect service providers to residents, host events, and bolster a community-led conservation effort in a way that also reduces resource burdens on City staff. 6 Request: • Sponsor a diverse multi-stakeholder partnership to promote community led conservation and water efficiency improvements. Target: • Reduce demand by 1 MGD at a cost of less than $10 per thousand gallons. • Raise funding from local businesses and community partners. Examples • Rain barrel campaign. Connect rain barrel installation service providers to residents interested in participating in the program. Public events to raise awareness. • Rebate program for efficient devices. City led, matching funds from partnership • Free indoor assessments. Contract a service provider, funded by City & partnership P. Utility Bill Conservation Info/Historic Use Adding information related to conservation to a customer's water bill like historic use or how much your neighbors use would be a low cost way to promote further conservation. Other cities have had success with similar efforts and we should give it a shot. Request • Add information to water bill that promotes conservation Suggestions • Display use from the month 12 months prior to the current bill so the customer can gauge their efforts versus past use. • Display info that promotes competitive conservation o Display the median use for residential users to encourage high users to use less. • Could be broken up by zip code or user group. o The City can give a 'Star' to reward high conservers • Lowest 5% of customer customers • Top Conserver last month • Summer Hero Badge, etc. 7 Exhibit A Contra Costa Water District Figure 8-4: Example Revenue Impact of Reduced Customer Sales 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Levels Level 6 Revenue/ Revenue 0-10%(a) 10-20%0) 20-30%(a) 30-40%(a) 40-50%0a> >50%(a) Expenses (x1,000) (x1,000) (x1,000) (x1,000) (x1,000) (x1,000) (x1,o0o) Revenue Impacted by Shortage Treated Water Variable) $78,678 $70,810 $62,943 $55,075 $47,207 $39,339 $35,405 Untreated Water $41,776 $33,281 $29,583 $25,886 $22,188 $18,490 $16,641 Variable ) TW Facilities $5,000 $5,000 $5,000 $5,000 $5,000 $5,000 $- Reserve Charge(`) Subtotal $125,454 $109,092 $97,526 $85,960 $74,395 $62,829 $52,046 Net Revenue $- $(16,362) $(27,928) $(39,493) $(51,059) $(62,625) $(73,408) Change Operating Expenses Extra $- $- $208 $208 $208 $208 $208 Administrative ) CVP Supply $- $(626) $(1,253) $(1,879) $(2,505) $(3,132) $(3,445) Costs(e) Net Expense $- $(626) $(1,045) $(1,671) $(2,297) $(2,924) $(3,237) Change Estimated Surplus or $- $(15,736) $(26,883) $(37,822) $(48,762) $(59,701) $(70,171) (Deficiency) NOTES: (a)The overall reduction goal is shown for each level; however,these reductions may differ from the projected reductions for specific customer classes.

There are many sources of information regarding water conservation measures. The California Urban Water Council's Web site (www.cuwcc.org) is a key source of information about urban water management practices. State and federal agencies listed in Appendix F are also good sources of water conservation information. Establish or expand existing toilet and clothes washer rebate programs. While replacement is normally part of a long term conservation program, it can be implemented quickly if enough financial and human resources are allocated. 75 Exhibit C Essentials of Texas Water Resources Chapter 22 because it falls within the category of planning for response rather than strictly reactionary response. The role of the office of the governor in responding to drought may be categorized as pri- marily economic or disaster relief. For the most part, statutes and rules that more specifically affect water rights in a time of drought are within the purview of the TCEQ. C. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality When drought occurs, the TCEQ has very specific authority to act to grant emergency relief to water rights holders and water users. The TCEQ's authority generally arises out of section 5.501 of the Texas Water Code, which provides that the TCEQ may issue a temporary or emergency order that is "mandatory, permissive, or prohibitory" and by such an order "issue a temporary permit or temporarily suspend or amend a permit condition."See Tex. Water Code § 5.501(a). The TCEQ has codified procedures for emergency and temporary orders. See 30 Tex. Admin Code ch. 35. With respect to water rights and water use, three spe- cific provisions relate to emergency relief measures that the TCEQ may take. In a drought emergency, the TCEQ may suspend permit conditions "relating to beneficial inflows to affected bays and estuaries and instream uses if the commission finds that an emergency exists that cannot practicably be resolved in another way."See Tex. Water Code §§ 5.506(a), 11.148(a); 30 Tex. Admin. Code § 35.101. In the 80th legislative session,the Texas legislature added section 11.1471 to the Texas Water Code, which requires the TCEQ to establish environ- mental flow standards for each river basin and bay system in the state. See Tex. Water Code § 11.1471.The legislature also included a provision to allow these fresh water inflow set-asides to be made available temporarily for other beneficial uses during an emergency.See Tex. Water Code § 5.506(a-1).See Chapter 11 of this book for further discussion of environmental flows.Finally, the 2011 legislature added Texas Water Code section 11.053, which clarifies that the executive director has the authority to temporarily suspend or adjust water rights during a period of drought or other emergency shortage of water according to the priority of the water rights.See Tex. Water Code § 11.053(a). However, the statute also requires the executive director to ensure that the action will maximize beneficial use of the water;minimize impacts on water rights holders;pre- vent the waste of water; take into consideration the efforts of the affected water rights holders in developing and implementing water conservation plans and drought contingency plans;and,to the greatest extent practicable,conforms to the order of preferences established by section 11.024 of the Texas Water Code.See Tex. Water Code § 11.053(b)(1)-(5). During a period of drought in 2006, the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) filed an application for an emergency order to suspend the instream flow requirements for its Per- mit No. 5715. See Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, TCEQ Docket No. 2006- 1091-WR. If granted, this emergency order would have allowed the LCRA, by reducing its required instream flows,to divert more water out of the Colorado River into the Lometa Res- ervoir, which supplied LCRA customers in the City of Lometa. The LCRA estimated in July 2006 that the Lometa Reservoir had only ninety to one hundred days of usable water supply. In a July 18, 2006, letter to the LCRA, the executive director of the TCEQ declined the request and, in doing so, commented that the LCRA had implemented only the first stage of its drought contingency plan. The executive director also concluded that because the LCRA had not taken steps to limit nonessential water usage,the LCRA had not shown that there was an "imminent threat to public health, safety, and welfare that overrides the necessity to com- 22-6 Chapter 22 Drought Planning and Response ply with general procedures for changing a water right." Essentially, the executive director determined that the LCRA had failed to meet its burden under 30 Texas Administrative Code section 35.101(a)(1) and (2) by not instituting sufficient drought conservation measures and by failing to explore other feasible alternatives. The LCRA then took its request to the TCEQ commissioners. After several months,the matter was finally resolved when the LCRA withdrew its request for the emergency order in a May 4,2007, letter to the TCEQ. The LCRA cited an emergency interconnect agreement with the City of Lampasas and higher than average rains in the spring of 2007 as the reasons the emergency situation was abated. Although the commissioners did not have an opportunity to comment on the request for the emergency order, the executive director's response at least gives guidance to the water rights community that a request for extraordinary emergency relief must be accompanied by a demonstration that serious drought measures have been insti- tuted and the feasibility of alternative solutions has been thoroughly explored. This interpreta- tion by the executive director seems to have been codified in section 11.053 of the Texas Water Code,which was enacted by the 2011 legislature.See Tex. Water Code § 11.053. Although section 11.053 did not take effect until September 1,2011,the executive direc- tor nonetheless received and acted on several priority calls in recent droughts. Section 11.053 seems to codify the executive director's recent use of authority as demonstrated by recent decisions. On May 18, 2011,the executive director suspended certain junior water rights after a priority call in the Brazos River Basin by DOW Chemical Company. However, the execu- tive director specifically noted "[i]n order to protect public health and welfare, water rights with municipal uses or for power generation have not been suspended. Land owners with property adjacent to the Brazos River may also continue to divert water for domestic and live- • stock use as part of their inherent riparian rights." See News Release, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, TCEQ Restricts Junior Water Rights (May 18, 2011). Subsequent orders modified or suspended municipal water rights based on factors such as whether the municipality had access to emergency sources of water and whether the municipality had implemented its drought contingency plan. The executive director adopted rules to implement section 11.053 effective May 3, 2012, which codified the executive director's "public wel- fare"approach to priority calls. See 37 Tex. Reg. 3096 (2012). The adopted rules specifically allow the executive director to determine not to suspend junior water rights "based on public health, safety, and welfare concerns." 30 Tex. Admin. Code § 36.5(c). However, the Texas Farm Bureau,representing farmers holding junior water rights, sued the TCEQ,challenging a later order that suspended the farmers' rights,but not municipalities. The court granted plain- tiff's motion for summary judgment, which found the drought curtailment rules to be invalid because they allowed exemption of preferred uses from a curtailment or suspension order and were not in accordance with the priority of water rights system established by Texas Water Code section 11.027.
