Introduction and Lay Description

This section provides a brief overview of the City of Camarillo (City) and the purpose of this 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP). It also describes how the UWMP is organized and its relation to other local and regional planning efforts that the City is involved in.

Water service for most of the City is provided by the City’s Water Division of the Public Works Department with other portions being served by neighboring water companies. The City provides potable water service to approximately 13,900 residential, commercial, industrial, and public facilities connections within approximately 11 square miles (7,033 acres) of residential, agricultural, commercial, and industrial lands. The City supply sources come from a combination of groundwater and purchased imported water. The Water Division’s mission is to deliver a dependable supply of water to meet the present and future needs of customers through cost-effective management and maintenance of the infrastructure, while incorporating environmental and regulatory concerns.

Introduction and Lay Description Section 1

City of Camarillo 1-2 2020 Urban Water Management Plan

The California Water Code In 1983, the State of California Legislature (Legislature) enacted the Urban Water Management Planning Act (UWMP Act). The law required an urban water supplier that provides water for municipal purposes to more than 3,000 customers or serves more than 3,000 acre-feet per year (AFY) to adopt an UWMP every five years, demonstrating water supply reliability under normal as well as drought conditions. The UWMP Act applies to wholesale and retail suppliers. Since the original UWMP Act was passed, it has undergone significant expansion, particularly since the City’s previous UWMP was prepared in 2015. Prolonged droughts, groundwater overdraft, regulatory revisions, and changing climatic conditions affect the reliability of each water supplier as well as the statewide water reliability overseen by California Department of Water Resources (DWR), the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board), and the Legislature. Accordingly, the UWMP Act has grown to address changing conditions, and the current requirements are found in Sections 10610-10656 and 10608 of the California Water Code (CWC). DWR provides guidance for urban water suppliers by preparing the Urban Water Management Plan Guidebook 2020 (Guidebook) (State of California Department of Water Resources, March 2021), conducting workshops, developing tools, and providing program staff to help water suppliers prepare comprehensive and useful water management plans, implement water conservation programs, and understand the requirements in the CWC. Suppliers prepare their own UWMPs in accordance with the requirements and submit them to DWR. DWR then reviews the plans to make sure they have addressed the requirements identified in the CWC and submits a report to the Legislature summarizing the status of the plans for each five-year cycle. The Guidebook, finalized in March 2021, was used to complete this 2020 UWMP. The purpose of this UWMP is for the City to evaluate long-term resource planning and establish management measures to ensure adequate water supplies are available to meet existing and future demands. The UWMP provides a framework to help water suppliers maintain efficient use of urban water supplies, promote conservation programs and policies, ensure that sufficient water supplies are available for future beneficial use, and provide a response mechanism during drought conditions or other water supply shortages.

The UWMP is a valuable planning tool used for multiple purposes including: • Provides a standardized methodology for water utilities to assess their water resource needs and

availability. • Serves as a resource to the community and other interested parties regarding water supply and

demand, conservation, and other water-related information. • Provides a key source of information for cities and counties when considering approval of proposed

new developments and preparing regional long-range planning documents such as city and county General Plans.

• Informs other regional and Statewide water planning efforts, such as Integrated Regional Water Management Plans and the California Water Plan.

CWC 10632 also includes updated requirements for suppliers to prepare a Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP). The WSCP documents a supplier’s plans to manage and mitigate an actual water shortage, should one occur because of drought or other impacts on water supplies. In the 2015 UWMP cycle, the WSCP was part of the UWMP. For the 2020 update, the WSCP is required to be a standalone document so that it can be updated independently of the UWMP but must be referenced in and attached to the 2020 UWMP. The WSCP is provided in Section 8 of this UWMP.



UWMP Organization and Lay Description The City generally followed DWR’s recommended organizational outline in the preparation of its 2020 UWMP.

Below is a summary of the information included in the various sections of the City’s 2020 UWMP:

Section 1 – Introduction and Overview This section provides background information on the UWMP process, new regulatory requirements, and an overview of the information covered throughout the remaining sections. Water suppliers that serve more than 3,000 customers or 3,000 AFY are required to prepare an UWMP. The UWMP is an important tool that details the City’s system and service area, estimates supply and demand over a twenty-year period, and analyzes reliability in drought and other shortages.

Section 2 – Plan Preparation This section provides information on the processes used for developing the UWMP, including efforts in coordination and outreach; the steps taken to prepare the City’s 2020 UWMP, hold a public hearing, adopt, and submit the 2020 UWMP; and implementation of the adopted UWMP.

Section 3 – System Description This section describes City’s water system, service area, population demographics, local climate, and land uses.

Section 4 – System Water Use This section describes and quantifies the current and projected water uses through 2045 within the water service area. The City provides potable water to all its customers, which are comprised of about 88 percent (%) residential accounts. On average, water uses are about 61% residential, 11% commercial/institutional, 0.5% industrial, 22.7% landscape irrigation, 0.8% agricultural, 0.4% other uses, and 4.1% losses.

Section 5 – Baselines and Targets This section describes compliance with the Water Conservation Act of 2009, also known as Senate Bill 7 of Special Extended Session 7 (SBX7-7). SBX7-7 requires all water suppliers to increase water use efficiency and decrease per-capita water consumption by 20%by the year 2020. To meet this requirement, the City established a water use baseline and efficiency targets in its 2015 UWMP. This section discusses compliance and confirms that the City met their 2020 water use target of 180.4 gallons per capita per day (GPCD).

Actual 2020 GPCD for the City was 155.2 GPCD.

Section 6 – System Supplies This section describes and quantifies the current and projected potable and non-potable water supplies. The City’s potable water supply for the planning horizon (2020–2045) is anticipated to change from being historically a majority from imported water to being a majority from local groundwater pumped from the Pleasant Valley Basin in the future. The City also treats wastewater to recycled water standards and uses it for beneficial uses. The City has sufficient supplies to meet the demands of current recycled water customers through 2045 and does not anticipate having the capability to take on additional customers in the future.



Section 7 – Water Supply Reliability This section describes the water service reliability through 2045 and includes the Drought Risk Assessment (DRA) for the next five years. Future demand and supply were analyzed to evaluate supply reliability over the planning horizon (2020–2045). The UWMP analyzed conditions for normal, or average, single-dry, and five-year consecutive dry periods. In all scenarios, the City expects to meet customer demands with the available supply. In addition, a DRA was performed to analyze the anticipated supply and demand for the next five years (2021–2025). The DRA determines that the City’s supplies are able to reliably meet customer demands.

Section 8 – Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) The WSCP provides guidance on declaring a water shortage and how to mitigate water shortages. The WSCP defines levels of water shortage and outlines the actions that will be required of customers during each stage.

Section 9 – Demand Management Measures This section describes City’s efforts to promote conservation and reduce water demand, including discussions of specific demand management measures (DMMs). Water waste prohibitions and conservation programs are discussed. To participate in any of the rebate programs, interested customers should visit https://www.cityofcamarillo.org/departments/public_works/water/ water_conservation.php or contact the City directly.

UWMPs in Relation to Other Efforts This UWMP characterizes water use, estimates future demands and supply sources, and evaluates supply reliability for normal, single-dry, and five-year consecutive dry periods. The UWMP also requires a standalone WSCP, which is provided in Section 8. In addition to the 2020 UWMP, the City is involved in several other internal and external planning efforts and collaborates with a variety of stakeholders to achieve coordination and consistency between various planning documents locally and regionally.

Documents that were leveraged in preparation of this UWMP are: • 2016 City of Camarillo Potable Water Master Plan • 2015 Ventura County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan • City of Camarillo 2020 General Plan Annual Progress Report • SCAG Regional Growth Forecast 2050: Ventura County • Pleasant Valley Basin Groundwater Sustainability Plan

UWMPs and Grant or Loan Eligibility In order for a water supplier to be eligible for a grant or loan administered by DWR, and potentially other agencies, the supplier must have a current UWMP on file that meets the requirements set forth by the CWC. A current UWMP must also be maintained by the supplier throughout the term of any grants or loans received.

The City has prepared the 2020 UWMP under guidance from DWR’s 2020 UWMP Guidebook.

Demonstration of Consistency with the Delta Plan for Participants in Covered Actions The Delta Plan is a comprehensive, long-term, legally enforceable plan guiding how federal, state, and local agencies manage the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta’s (Delta’s) water and environmental resources. The Delta Plan was adopted in 2013 by the Delta Stewardship Council. Delta Plan Policy WR P1 identifies UWMPs as the tool to demonstrate consistency with state policy to reduce reliance on the Delta for a supplier that carries out or takes part in a covered action. A covered action may include activities such as a multiyear water transfer, conveyance facility, or new diversion that involves transferring water through, exporting water from, or using water in the Delta. As a supplier that receives imported water from the Delta through its wholesale supplier, the City is required to submit information as outlined in Appendix C of the Guidebook (State of California Department of Water Resources, March 2021).

To document and quantify supplies contributing to reduced reliance on the Delta watershed and improved regional self-reliance, a number of steps must be taken, including: • Setting a baseline • Change in delivery of Delta water • UWMP WR P1 consistency reporting

DWR does not review this analysis as part of the UWMP approval process; therefore, this information is attached as Appendix A.

Plan Preparation

This section of the UWMP provides information on the processes used for developing the UWMP, including efforts in coordination and outreach.

This UWMP was prepared following guidance from the Guidebook, DWR UWMP Public Workshops and Webinars, Methodologies for Calculating Baseline and Compliance Urban Per Capita Water Use (SBX7-7 Guidebook) (State of California Department of Water Resources, February 2016), and the 2020 DWR Review Sheet Checklist (Appendix B).

IN THIS SECTION

• Plan Preparation

• Coordination and Outreach

The 2020 UWMP was prepared in a transparent manner and the City actively engaged stakeholders, cities, counties, water agencies and the public to both seek and distribute water use, supply, and reliability information to strengthen the regions’ ability to assess and plan for the region’s water future. Details regarding the City’s UWMP preparation and the coordination and outreach efforts conducted are provided in this section.

Plan Preparation Section 2


Basis for Preparing a Plan As mentioned in Section 1, the CWC requires suppliers with 3,000 or more service connections, or those supplying 3,000 AFY or more, to prepare an UWMP. Suppliers are required to update UWMPs at least once every five years on or before July 1, in years ending in six and one, incorporating updated and new information from the five years preceding each update. The City’s 2020 UWMP must be submitted to DWR by July 1, 2021. The City is preparing an individual UWMP and is not a member of a Regional UWMP or Regional Alliance. In 2020, the City served approximately 45,136 people in its service area, through 13,931 metered connections, and supplied approximately 7,518 AFY of potable water to customers. The City has included all mandatory 2020 data in the development of this UWMP. The City purchases water from Calleguas Municipal Water District (CMWD) and does not sell water to other suppliers. Throughout this UWMP, water volume is represented in units of AFY, unless otherwise noted, and data is presented on a calendar year basis. Required DWR tables presenting this information are provided in Table 2-1, Table 2-2 and Table 2-3. Table 2-1. DWR 2-1R Public Water Systems

Coordination and Outreach The City coordinated with multiple neighboring and stakeholder agencies to prepare the 2020 UWMP. The coordinated efforts were conducted to 1) inform these agencies of the City’s efforts and activities; 2) gather high quality data for use in developing this UWMP; and 3) coordinate planning activities with other related regional plans and initiatives. CWC 10621 requires that suppliers notify cities and counties to which they serve water that the UWMP and WSCP are being updated and reviewed. The CWC specifies that this must be done at least 60 days prior to the public hearing. To fulfill this requirement, the City sent letters of notification of preparation of the 2020 UWMP and 2020 WSCP to all cities and counties within the City’s service area 60 days prior to the public hearing as indicated in Table 2-4 and attached as Appendix C. On April 19, 2021, the City notified all cities and counties within the service area of their intent to update the UWMP and WSCP by July 1, 2021. This notification served as the 60-day noticing required by the CWC. A copy of this letter is included in Appendix C to this UWMP. Per Government Code 6066, the

Plan Preparation Section 2


public hearing was noticed in the local newspaper for the two weeks prior to the public hearing. The hearing notices are attached as Appendix C. The A public hearing was held on June 23, 2021, at the City Council meeting prior to the UWMP and WSCP adoption. In addition, the City maintained a copy of the 2020 UWMP and WSCP in its office and online at https://www.ci.camarillo.ca.us/ departments/public_works/water prior to the public hearing. The Final 2020 City of Camarillo UWMP and WSCP were formally adopted by the City Council on June 23, 2021. A copy of the adoption resolution is included in Appendix D. A copy of the City’s Final 2020 UWMP and WSCP were sent to the California State Library, DWR (electronically using the Water Use Efficiency (WUE) Portal), and all cities and counties within the City’s service area within 30 days of adoption. To fulfill the requirements of CWC 10642 of the UWMP Act, the City made the Final 2020 UWMP available online (https://www.ci.camarillo.ca.us/departments/public_works/water) and at the City’s public office during regular business hours for public review within 30 days of adoption.

System Description

This section describes the City’s service area including current and projected population, climate, demographics, socio-economic background, and general land uses.

The City is located along U.S. Highway 101 in the Pleasant Valley portion of the Oxnard Plain, 9 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean and 45 miles northwest of the City of Los Angeles. Camarillo is situated in the southern portion of Ventura County and is surrounded by open hills, mountains, and agricultural lands. The majority of the City is approximately 150 feet above mean sea level (ft‐msl), while the northern foothill regions are as high as 360 ft‐msl. The City’s location is shown in Figure 3-1.

System Description Section 3


General Description The City provides potable water service to a population of approximately 45,136 residents, as well as commercial, industrial, and public facilities within a portion of its boundaries generally west of Calleguas Creek, as well as several pockets of unincorporated Ventura County. The City provides water service to approximately 11 square miles (7,033 acres) of residential, agricultural, commercial, and industrial lands. The City’s existing water distribution system consists of approximately 190 miles of 6‐inch through 20‐ inch diameter pipelines, which include eight (U.S. 101) freeway crossings. Other components of the City's water distribution system include: six reservoirs (four above ground and two underground) with a total combined capacity of 13.4 million gallons (MG), four groundwater wells, eight connections for importing water from CMWD, three pumping stations, and 11 pressure reducing valve locations.

Service Area Boundary Maps The City’s water service area consists of approximately 7,033 acres, about 56 percent of the City’s total incorporated area of 12,648 acres. Figure 3-1 shows the City’s water service area in relation to the City’s boundary. The Camrosa Water District, Pleasant Valley County Water District, Pleasant Valley Mutual Water Company, and Crestview Mutual Water Company serve the remaining 5,615 acres. The City’s boundary recently changed as a result of incorporating a property along the northern City limit, which is the site of the future North Pleasant Valley Desalter project. The boundary change does not impact the population served by the City. As shown on Figure 3-1, the City’s water service area extends outside the City Limits to serve some small areas to the west and north of the City.

Service Area Climate The City's service area climate is semi‐arid with mild winters, warm summers, and moderate rainfall, consistent with coastal Southern California. The mild climate is tempered by cool sea breezes and infrequently interrupted by periods of extremely hot weather, winter storms, or dry, hot Santa Ana winds. Table 3-1 summarize the standard monthly average evapotranspiration (ETo) rates, rainfall, and temperature. The City’s average monthly temperature ranges from 55.8 to 65.5 degrees Fahrenheit (°F), with an annual average temperature of 60.1°F. The daily extreme low and high temperatures have been measured to be 31°F and 100°F, respectively. ETo averages a total of 48.6 inches per year. As shown in Table 3-1, the historical annual average precipitation is approximately 11.2 inches. Most of the rainfall occurs during the period of November through April. Table 3-1.

Service Area Population and Demographics The City is a predominately residential community. In 2020, the City served water to approximately 45,136 residents of the City’s 70,261 total residents (City of Camarillo, 2020). The service area is largely built out with local City ordinances designed to reduce expansion and urbanization. Population growth estimates are anticipated to be slow and stable. Since population demographics and employment characteristics of the community can influence water demand in the future, the following section looks at current trends in these areas. A summary of the population and demographics for the City is provided in the following sections.



3.4.1 Service Area Population The 2020 population estimate for the City of Camarillo’s service areas was calculated using DWR’s Population Tool, which utilizes Geographical Information Systems (GIS) service area boundaries, service connection data, and U.S. Census data. The DWR Population Tool overlaps GIS shapefiles with Census populations by Census block. The tool calculates the 2020 persons-per-connection by creating a trend line of the persons-per-connection from the year 2000 to the year 2010 and continuing that trend to the year 2020. Population projections and annual growth rates were developed using demographic projections from the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Connect SoCal: The 2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Community Strategy (Southern California Association of Governments, 2019)1. SCAG routinely forecasts population, housing, and employment estimates in addition to developing transportation plans to support growing population and housing needs throughout the region, and last prepared final population, housing, and employment forecasts in 2019. SCAG provided updated population, housing, and employment estimates for 2020, 2035, and 2045. This data is organized by Transportation Analysis Zones (TAZ). Because TAZ do not align with the City’s water service area, a GIS analysis was used to determine the growth that is projected to occur within the service area. For intermediate years, a linear interpolation was used to calculate the populations for 2025, 2030, and 2040 and then determine annual growth rates. Estimates for 2020 and future population are provided in Table 3-2. The City’s service area does not experience substantial seasonal changes in population. Table 3-2.

Population 45,136 45,317 45,498 45,680 45,863 46,046

3.4.2 Other Social, Economic, and Demographic Factors The City’s population is somewhat older than the County’s with seniors (65 years and over) representing 17% of the City compared to only 12% for the County. The City’s median age also exceeds the County’s by five years (41 vs. 36). Table 3-3 summarizes the City’s housing and employment characteristics. Table 3-3. Household and Employment Projections

Land Uses within Service Area Residential land uses comprise about 56% of the City’s total area with the remaining land uses being 5% commercial, 9% industrial, 14%conservation, and 16% public (City of Camarillo, 2020). SCAG prepares demographic forecasts based on land use data through an extensive process that emphasizes input from local planners in coordination with local or regional land use authorities, incorporating essential information to reflect anticipated future populations and land uses. SCAG’s projections undergo extensive local review, incorporate zoning information from city and county general plans, and are supported by Environmental Impact Reports. SCAG prepared preliminary demographic forecast estimates for the 2020 Connect SoCal Plan in 2017 for each TAZ. Between 2017 and 2019, SCAG met with each jurisdiction individually to review the demographic forecasts. This review process incorporated feedback from each jurisdiction, including land use planning departments, to help align the demographic forecasts with current land use and anticipated land use changes.

Water Use Characterization

This section describes and quantifies the City’s current and projected water use through the year 2045. The City provides potable water to all its customers, which are comprised of about 88% residential accounts. On average, water uses are about 61% residential, 11% commercial/institutional, 0.5% industrial, 22.7% landscape irrigation, 0.8% agricultural, 0.4% other uses, and 4.1% losses.

Accurately tracking and reporting current water demands allows the City to properly analyze the use of its resources in order to conduct good resource planning. Estimating future demand as accurately as possible allows the City to manage its water supply and appropriately plan for infrastructure investments. Assessments of future growth and related water demand, done in coordination with the City’s General Plan, provides essential information for developing demand projections to meet the City’s build‐out goals. Projected demands are expected to range from approximately 6,400 AFY in 2025 to 6,600 AFY in 2045.

Water Use Characterization Section 4


Past, Current, and Projected Water Use by Sector

4.1.1 Water Use Sectors Listed in Water Code Water suppliers are required to identify water uses, to the extent that records are available, for at least each of the 10 water use sectors identified in CWC 10631(d) to assist in the water demand projections. The City primarily serves potable water to customers, though it does supply a small amount of recycled water. Recycled water uses are described in Section 6.

The City serves the following water uses:

Single Family Residential Single family residential customers are typically on a lot with a free-standing building containing one dwelling unit that may include a detached secondary dwelling.

Multi-Family Residential Multi-family residential customers are typically multiple dwelling units within one building or several buildings within one complex.

Commercial/Institutional The City tracks commercial and institutional customer water uses as one. Commercial customers typically provide or distribute a product or service and institutional water customers are typically public services, such as higher-education institutions, schools, courts, churches, hospitals, government facilities, and nonprofit research institutions.

Industrial Industrial customers typically manufacture or process materials.

Landscape Irrigation The City tracks the water use for landscape irrigation.

Agriculture Irrigation The City tracks the water use for agricultural irrigation.

Other The City has 18 accounts for other uses, which generally consist of schools and institutions.

Losses Distribution system water losses are the water losses from the point of water entry to the distribution system to the delivery point to the customer’s system. Water losses are discussed in Section 4.1.3.

4.1.2 Past and Current Water Use The City serves potable water for a variety of uses, as summarized in Table 4-1. Water use over the past five years has notably reduced from pre-drought levels in 2007. Over the past five years, the City used an average of 7,500 AFY. The most recent peak in demand occurred in 2013 with a total demand of 9,710 AFY. It is anticipated that the City’s customers will continue to implement conservation



behaviors and keep demands lower than pre-drought levels. In 2020, 61% of the total water deliveries were to residential customers (51% to single-family accounts and 10% to multi-family accounts). Figure 4-1 shows the percentage of water used by each customer class in 2020 and Table 4-1 shows the annual volume of water used by each customer class for 2020.

4.1.3 Distribution System Water Losses Table 4-2 shows the amount of water loss for the City in 2015-2019. Detailed assessments of water loss were completed since 2015 using American Water Works Association (AWWA) Water Audit Software and are provided in Appendix E. Water losses in 2020 comprise 4.1% of total water use and are expected to equal the 2016-2020 average of 2.4% of total water use over the planning horizon of the document. Table 4-2.

4.1.4 Projected Water Use As shown in Figure 4-2, GPCD water usage varied from a high of 242 GPCD in 2002 to a low of 142 GPCD in 2019. Overall, per capita consumption has decreased, which is most likely due to the recent drought, state mandated water use reduction targets, more efficient appliances and plumbing, and conservation efforts made by the City and its customers. While the 2020 GPCD was below the required SBX7-7 target, future water use efficiency standards are being developed that will supersede SBX7-7 standards. In 2018, two policy bills were enacted by the California Legislature, Assembly Bill 1668 (AB1668, Friedman) and Senate Bill 606 (SB606, Hertzberg), collectively referred to as the “2018 Water Conservation Legislation.” Based on the 2018 Water Conservation Legislation, a supplier’s future water use objective will be determined by the sum of standards for indoor residential water; outdoor residential water use; large commercial, industrial, and institutional (CII) landscape areas irrigated with dedicated meters; water losses; variances; and bonus incentives for potable reuse. While these standards are not fully developed, DWR has developed a framework of multiple components that will comprise a new water use efficiency target for water suppliers. The State has proposed standards for the residential indoor standard, measured as residential indoor (RI) GPCD (RI-GPCD), which reduces from 55 RI-GPCD in 2020 to 47 RI-GPCD in 2025 and 42 RI-GPCD in 2030. This UWMP projects demand to proactively target meeting the new RI-GPCD standards in order to develop appropriate water resources management strategies. Therefore, the City plans to continue encouraging efficient water use and implementing water use efficiency measures to support meeting future water use standards and to enhance resiliency for drought and other water shortage conditions as described in Sections 7, 8, and 9. Demand projections are based on the assumption that future demands will meet the RI-GPCD standards proposed by the State for 2025 and 2030. Based on 2016–2020 average residential consumption of 63%, and 78% of residential use estimated to be for indoor usage, the City used 77 RI-GPCD in 2020. The estimated indoor usage of 78% was based on the average monthly use in the



rainiest months (December-March). It is assumed usage in rainy months can be attributed to indoor use with minimal outdoor use for irrigation. Because the other components of the new water use efficiency standard were unknown when this UWMP was prepared, it was assumed that the remainder of water use not attributed to residential indoor use, or NRI, could be associated with the 2020 population to yield NRI-GPCD, which was assumed to not change from 2020–2045. Demands were estimated using a hybrid RI-GPCD and NRI-GPCD method. Therefore, RI-GPCD and NRI-GPCD were applied to projected populations for 2021–2045 to yield estimated demands. Interim years were interpolated between the five-year increments. Projected populations are described in Section 3. Figure 4-2 and Table 4-3 present projected demands through 2045.

Table 4-3 and Table 4-4 satisfy the requirement to include anticipated water conservation savings when developing future demand projections. Conservation savings were considered and included in developing demand estimates for the next 20 years. Table 4-4. DWR 4-5R Inclusion in Water Use Projections

Are Future Water Savings Included in Projections? Refer to Appendix K of UWMP Guidebook. Yes

Are Lower Income Residential Demands Included in Projections? Yes

4.1.5 Characteristic Five-Year Water Use In addition to past and projected uses, the UWMP more closely analyzes anticipated conditions for the next five years (2021–2025). In the next five years, the City anticipates that demands may decrease by 1,375 AFY. This decrease is based on normal year conditions representing continued water use efficiency, which is likely considering the City’s residents have continued to conserve water after the most recent drought which ended in 2016. Details on an analysis for the next five years are discussed in Section 7.

Water Use for Lower Income Households Changes to CWC 10631.1 since 2005 require demand projections to include projected water use for single family and multi‐family residential housing needed for lower income households. Low‐income households are defined as households that make less than 80% of the median household income. The Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) determines the housing needs in each jurisdiction over the planning period. SCAG’s current RHNA planning period is from October 2021 through October



2029 (Southern California Association of Governments, 2021). For this planning period, 597 new low‐income units are projected to be needed in the City by 2029. It is important to note that the RHNA requirement is to have land zoned for the projected low-income housing need but not necessarily to build the units.

For the purposes of this UWMP, the low‐income deliveries projections are included in the City’s total projected water deliveries shown in Table 4-3. The estimated water use for the projected number of low income housing units is calculated by applying the 2020 water usage per connection to new low-income units. The projected demand for the low‐income residential units is shown in Table 4-5.

Climate Change Considerations Consistent future use of groundwater sources may be affected by climate change.

“Projections of climate change in California indicate a further intensification of wet and dry extremes

and shifting temperatures that can…affect both water use and supplies. Extreme and higher

temperatures can lead to increases in water use…Projections of more frequent, severe, and

prolonged droughts could lead to not only less surface water available, but also exacerbating

ongoing stressors in groundwater basins across the state.”

(State of California Department of Water Resources, March 2021).

Higher temperatures decrease the amount of precipitation available for groundwater recharge and from surface water sources while increasing water use, especially for outdoor use. Reductions in future groundwater supply due to impacts associated with climate change were considered as part of the projected groundwater supply discussed in Section 6 and Section 7. Increases in future water use patterns due to climate change factors were considered as part of the demand projections provided in

Section 4.

SBX7-7 Baseline, Targets, and 2020 Compliance

This section describes the Water Conservation Act of 2009, also known as SBX7-7, Baseline, Targets, and 2020 compliance. The goal of this section is to demonstrate compliance with the 2020 targeted water-use reduction of 20%.

Senate Bill 7 of Special Extended Session 7 (SBX7-7) was incorporated into the UWMP Act in 2009 and requires that all water suppliers increase water use efficiency with the overall goal to decrease per-capita water consumption within the state by 20% by the year 2020. SBX7-7 required DWR to develop certain criteria, methods, and standard reporting forms, through a public process, that water suppliers could use to establish their baseline water use and determine their water conservation targets. SBX7-7 and DWR's Methodologies for Calculating Baseline and Compliance Urban Per Capita Water Use (State of California Department of Water Resources, February 2016) specify methodologies for determining the baseline water demand, 2015 interim urban water use target, and the 2020 urban water use target for the City as described in the following sections. The SBX7-7 Verification and Compliance Forms, which are required to be submitted to DWR to demonstrate compliance with the SBX7-7 requirements, are presented in Appendix F. This section also demonstrates that the City achieved its 2020 water use target.

SBX7-7 Baseline, Targets, and 2020 Compliance Section 5


SBX7-7 Forms and Tables The SBX7-7 Verification Form was submitted as part of the City’s 2015 UWMP to establish the baseline and 2020 water use target, which remains valid. A summary of the SBX7-7 Verification Form is presented in Table 5-1. The City selected SBX7-7 Method 4, which was calculated as the baseline water use minus the total savings (residential indoor, CII, landscape, and water loss, and meter savings). In the City’s case, the calculated 2020 target water use of 180.4 GPCD was selected. As part of the 2020 UWMP, the City must demonstrate compliance with its 2020 water use target by completing SBX7-7 2020 Compliance Form. This form is an abbreviated version of the SBX7-7 Verification Form used solely for 2020 compliance calculations. A summary of the 2020 SBX7-7 2020 Compliance Form is shown in Table 5-2. The City first met the 2020 compliance target in 2015 and continues to reduce GPCD use overall. However, in 2020, there was an almost 15 GPCD increase from the previous year to 155.2 GPCD. This increase could be attributed to increased residential use, most likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Even with this increased demand, the City complied with the 2020 SBX7-7 target. A copy of the completed SBX7-7 Forms is included in Appendix F. Table 5-1. DWR 5-1R Baselines and Targets Summary

Water Supply Characterization

This section describes and quantifies the City’s current and projected water supplies. Each water source is characterized with information needed to manage water resources, assess supply reliability, perform the DRA, and prepare and implement the WSCP.

The City sources its water supply from a combination of groundwater and purchased imported water. Recently, the City has been transitioning towards more imported water as groundwater quality has diminished. This is expected to change with a new groundwater treatment facility coming online in late 2021 and with changing groundwater regulatory requirements associated with the Pleasant Valley Basin.

Water Supply Characterization Section 6


UWMP Water Supply Characterization The City is situated within the Calleguas Creek Watershed, which is approximately 30 miles long and 14 miles wide and drains an approximate 343 square mile area. Nearly the entire watershed is within Ventura County. The Calleguas Creek Watershed provides surface and groundwater supplies to four cities, including Camarillo and unincorporated areas of Ventura County. The City pumps groundwater from the Pleasant Valley Basin. Local groundwater supplies are critical for supporting communities, such as those served by the City, as well as the local economy, which is bolstered by agriculture. However, local water supplies can only meet less than one-third of the region’s water demands, which necessitates the region’s reliance on imported water. Camarillo’s imported water comes from CMWD. Table 6-1 provides a summary of the City’s supply in 2020. Table 6-1. DWR 6-8R Actual Water Supplies, AFY

WATER SUPPLY ADDITIONAL DETAIL ON WATER SUPPLY ACTUAL VOLUME WATER QUALITY

Groundwater (not desalinated) Pleasant Valley Basin 3,375 Drinking Water

Purchased or Imported Water CMWD 4,463 Drinking Water

TOTAL: 7,838

Total supply for the City from 2016 to 2020 averaged 7,509 AFY. On average, 3,097 AFY (41%) came from groundwater sources (i.e., Pleasant Valley Basin) and 4,412 AFY (59%) came from imported water supplies (i.e., CMWD) from 2016–2020. While the City’s water supply portfolio from 2016 to 2020 was consistent with its historical split of imported versus groundwater, beginning in 2021 the City’s water supply portfolio is expected to change significantly. The North Pleasant Valley (NPV) Desalter Facility will begin making deliveries of treated groundwater starting in late 2021. With the NPV Desalter Facility online, the majority of the City’s water supply will come from groundwater. The City is working with neighboring agencies and the Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency (FCGMA) to ensure the sustainability and reliability of the groundwater basin in the future.

6.1.1 Purchased or Imported Water The City of Camarillo has no quantity restriction on imported water use except for the cost. Once the City exceeds an annual purchase of 5,274 AF, the Tier 2 rate then applies (AKM Consulting Engineers, June 2016). As described in the previous section, the City’s CMWD supply met about 59% of the average demand from 2016–2020. These numbers vary from year to year depending on weather conditions, groundwater recharge rates, and groundwater blending requirements due to groundwater quality. The City’s imported water supplier, CMWD, is a member of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWDSC). MWDSC’s imported water originates from the Colorado River Aqueduct (CRA) and the State Water Project (SWP); however, the City’s imported supply from MWDSC has historically been from the SWP due to its location in the MWDSC supply system. The City’s NPV Desalter Facility is expected to yield 3,877 AFY of groundwater when it is online. Combining this new source of supply with the City’s existing wells, it is expected groundwater will make up a majority of the supply moving forward. When feasible, the City will use its groundwater sources (i.e., NPV and existing wells) to their full allocation with the remaining supply comprised of purchased



water from CMWD. The City will purchase water on both a baseline and peak basis. The City’s baseline purchased supply will meet demands of the City’s higher elevation pressure zones 420 and 445A, which have direct turnouts from the CMWD supply pipeline. These two pressure zones are unable to be fed by the City’s distribution system due to pumping limitations and represent the baseline of purchased water from CMWD. The City has plans to modify their system to feed these zones from groundwater sources. For the purposes of this report, it is assumed that these two pressure zones will require 415 AFY based on their average day demand (AKM Consulting Engineers, June 2016). During peak times, the City will also still continue purchasing water from CMWD when the supply from the NPV Desalter Facility and the City’s other wells are not enough to meet demand. This is expected to vary seasonally and will depend on changing regulations within the Pleasant Valley Basin and on future drought conditions.

6.1.2 Groundwater Between 2016 and 2020, the City’s local groundwater supply met about 41% of the average demand. These numbers have varied from year to year depending on weather conditions, groundwater recharge rates, and groundwater blending requirements due to groundwater quality. Table 6-2 shows the amount of groundwater pumped form 2016–2020.

*All volumes in acre feet per year (AFY)

After 2021, the City’s NPV Desalter Facility will create a new water source provided by a project-specific groundwater allocation of 4,500 AFY determined by the FCGMA. The allocation is expected to yield 3,877 AFY of potable water supply. The City currently maintains four groundwater wells A, B, D, and 3. Wells A and B are located in the northern part of the City’s system and will be the source water for the NPV Desalter Facility. The NPV Desalter Facility’s project-specific allocation and expected yield of 3,877 AFY is in addition to the City’s groundwater allocation of 4,014 AFY with a 5% annual decrease until 2040 under FCGMA’s Ordinance to Establish an Allocation System for the Oxnard and Pleasant Valley Groundwater Basins (Allocation Ordinance), adopted on October 23, 2019. Wells D and 3 are located in the southern part of the City’s system and will continue to make up the City’s additional groundwater supply under the FCGMA Allocation Ordinance allocation. The combined anticipated groundwater supply available going forward is expected to range from 6,983 AFY in 2025 to 5,316 AFY in 2045 considering a 5% annual decrease from the Allocation Ordinance. Upon completion, the NPV Desalter Facility is expected to supply more than half of the City’s future water supply portfolio. The remaining demand will be supplied by a mixture of the City’s existing Wells D and 3 and CMWD purchased water. When possible, the City will utilize Wells D and 3 to their full allocation; however, as mentioned in the previous section, there are regular instances where the City will make up the remaining supply needed to meet demand with CMWD purchased water.

6.1.2.1 Basin Description The City and the surrounding area rest on an alluvial deposit approximately 1,000 feet thick, which is comprised of several aquifers interbedded with gravel, sand, and clay lenses. The clay lenses preclude any significant groundwater movement from one aquifer to the next. The City’s water service area lies almost entirely in the Pleasant Valley Basin, as shown in Figure 6-1, but there are also several



separate groundwater basins in the area, separated by a series of faults or folds, which also reduce groundwater movement from one basin to another. Groundwater in the region generally flows southwest. The Pleasant Valley Basin historically has been replenished by subsurface inflows from the East and West Las Posas Basins and the Santa Rosa Basin. Subsurface inflow over the past several years has been limited to only the Oxnard Plain and the East Las Posas basins. Over pumping in the other basins has lowered water tables and prevented subsurface inflows into the Pleasant Valley Basin. Most of the groundwater within the Pleasant Valley Basin is contained within alluvial deposits and within the Fox Canyon and Grimes Canyon aquifers. The Fox Canyon Aquifer is the major water bearing unit in the Pleasant Valley Basin. The upper strata of the basin are alluvial deposits, which average 400 feet in thickness and consist of water bearing sands and gravels separated by clay lenses. The Fox Canyon aquifer is within the bottom of the San Pedro formation, which underlies the alluvial deposits. It varies in thickness from 400 feet to 1,500 feet and is effectively sealed from percolation of water from above by impervious materials located at the bottom of the alluvial deposits. Beneath the San Pedro formation lies the Santa Barbara formation containing the Grimes Canyon aquifer.

6.1.2.2 Groundwater Quality and Levels Over the last 20 years, the City began observing a distinct change in groundwater quality, especially in the northern part of the Pleasant Valley Basin where Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) levels are in excess of 2,000 mg/L. During this same period, the northern part of the Pleasant Valley Basin experienced a rapid rise in groundwater levels of over 200 feet, likely due to recharge of poor-quality water from the Arroyo Las Posas (Steven Bachman, 2016). The City did not observe a similar rise in TDS in wells located in the southern part of the Pleasant Valley Basin over the same time period. Due to the high TDS concentrations in the City’s northern well field, the City has historically blended groundwater with imported water from CMWD. However, the continued rise in TDS concentrations in the northern part of the basin is hindering the City’s ability to blend groundwater with imported water and still serve the product water within the TDS secondary Maximum Contaminant Level. As described in Section 6.1.8.1, the City’s northern well field (Wells A and B) will become the source water for the NPV Desalter Facility. Historically, it was assumed that the lower aquifer system of the Pleasant Valley Basin was confined and received little overall recharge across the fault that extends from the Camarillo Hills to Port Hueneme. However, since the early 1990s, water levels have been rising in the northern adjacent basins. Rising water levels in City wells in the northern part of the Pleasant Valley Basin have led to the confirmation that the northern adjacent basins directly impact recharge rates, water quality, and water levels in the Pleasant Valley Basin area (Steven Bachman, 2016). Recharge in the area may be the result of uplift and folding of lower aquifer units that allow rapid stream flow percolation. The portion of the Pleasant Valley Basin east of the City is not well understood because there are not very many wells. Along Calleguas Creek near California State University, Channel Islands, water has been produced historically from aquifer depths that are shallower than the typical lower aquifer well, suggesting that water bearing strata are not limited to the lower aquifers in that area.

6.1.2.3 Groundwater Recharge As mentioned in Section 6.1.2.2, much of Pleasant Valley Basin’s recharge originates with the Las Posas Basin to the north. As water makes its way southwest through the watershed, Las Posas Basin and Pleasant Valley Basin receive recharge water. CMWD supplements natural groundwater recharge in the area through the use of groundwater injection. Some of the SWP water imported by CMWD is stored in the Las Posas Groundwater Basin.

6.1.2.4 Other Considerations The FCGMA was initially created in 1982 to manage the groundwater in both over‐drafted and potentially seawater‐intruded areas within Ventura County. The prime objectives and purposes of the FCGMA are to preserve groundwater resources for agricultural, municipal, and industrial uses in the best interest of the public and for the common benefit of all water users. Protection of water quality and quantity along with maintenance of long‐term water supply are included in those goals and objectives. In May 2007, the FCGMA prepared a groundwater management plan in order to set specific, measurable management objectives for each basin, identify strategies to reach these goals, and set future FCGMA policy to help implement these strategies. The groundwater management plan discusses and reviews a number of aspects of groundwater management, including background information of the groundwater basins; water quality issues, both generally and basin‐by‐basin; the yield of the groundwater basins; current and in‐development management strategies; and recommended actions to be taken by the FCGMA. In 2014, the State enacted the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) to provide a legislative framework for the sustainable management of groundwater supplies by local authorities. SGMA requires medium- and high-priority basins to develop groundwater sustainability agencies (GSAs), develop groundwater sustainability plans (GSPs) and manage groundwater for long-term sustainability. DWR determined the Pleasant Valley Basin as a high priority basin. As the local authority charged with managing groundwater and acting as the GSA, FCGMA must adopt a GSP for submission to DWR. The purpose of the GSP is to provide measurable objectives and sustainable goals within a 20‐year timeframe, to bolster groundwater levels and storage, reduce seawater intrusion, prevent continued degradation of water quality, prevent continued land subsidence, and reduce surface water depletions that have significant adverse impacts on beneficial uses. The FCGMA began the development of a GSP in late 2015. Though the State is calling for plan adoption and implementation of the GSP by 2020, the FCGMA completed its GSP in December 2019. Although the Pleasant Valley Basin is managed by the FCGMA, the basin is not adjudicated. The FCGMA was created to moderate the use of groundwater within the area. In 1985, the FCGMA summed all water inputs and outputs to determine how much could be extracted from the basins in the region. Since that initial analysis, basin yield in the area has been recalculated several times. It has been found that many of the inland basins which do not adjoin the coastline are hydrologically connected to the coastal basins, as evidenced by the continuity of groundwater elevation contours across their boundaries. The Oxnard Plain, a hydrologic region just south of the City, began experiencing saltwater intrusion into its groundwater supply as early as 1930. In the Port Hueneme area, seawater in the aquifer system reached its farthest point inland in the early 1980s. However, following the high rainfall in year 1983, chloride levels began to decrease in many of the area’s wells. This improving trend was accelerated in the 1990s as aquifer pressures were restored and seawater was pushed back towards the coast. The lower aquifer system, of which the Fox Canyon Aquifer is a part of, did not drop below sea level until the late 1950s. The over pumping of the aquifers that led to seawater intrusion also led to land subsidence of up to 2.2 feet in the Pleasant Valley area, as dewatered clay layers between aquifer zones collapsed from reduced hydrostatic pressures. This subsidence is permanent, as refilling the sand and gravel aquifers does not force water back into the dry clay layers. As described previously, FCGMA’s Allocation Ordinance, adopted on October 23, 2019, identified the City’s allocation of 4,014 AFY effective as of October 1, 2020 with a 5% annual decrease until 2040. The new allocation is based on average extraction from 2005–2014. FCGMA has indicated this allocation will transition to a land-based system in a future ordinance. For the purposes of supply projection, it is assumed that the City’s allocation will change in the future, but it is assumed that the Allocation Ordinance will remain in effect into the foreseeable future and will be used in future supply



projections for this UWMP. The Allocation Ordinance applies to the City’s existing wells only, whereas the NPV Desalter Facility has its own project-specific allocation of 4,500 AFY, which is expected to yield 3,877 AFY of potable water supply. Therefore, the combined anticipated groundwater supply available going forward is expected to range from 6,983 AFY in 2025 to 5,316 AFY in 2045 considering a 5% annual decrease from the Allocation Ordinance, and the rest of the City’s water supply will be met by imported water as shown in Table 6-9.

6.1.3 Surface Water The City does not utilize surface water sources.

6.1.4 Stormwater The City does not utilize stormwater sources.

6.1.5 Wastewater and Recycled Water The UWMP Act requires that the UWMP address the opportunities for development of recycled water including the description of existing recycled water applications, quantities of wastewater currently being treated to recycled water standards, limitations on the use of available recycled water, an estimate of projected recycled water use, the feasibility of projected uses, and practices to encourage the use of recycled water (RW).

6.1.5.1 Wastewater Collection, Treatment, and Disposal The Camarillo Sanitary District (CSD) provides wastewater collection and treatment for the City’s water service area. CSD also treats wastewater for areas within the City’s boundary but outside the water service area and areas north of the City served by California American Water Company, Pleasant Valley Mutual Water Company, Crestview Mutual Water Company, and Pleasant Valley County Water District. CSD treats the wastewater collected within its service area at the Camarillo Water Reclamation Plant (Camarillo WRP), which is located in the southeast portion of the City, adjacent to Conejo Creek. Camarillo WRP was initially designed with a capacity of 2.75 million gallons per day (MGD) but currently treats an average of 3.5 MGD or 3,900 AFY of wastewater and has a peak capacity of 7.25 MGD (Carollo, Inc., 2011). Tertiary treatment processes were added as a part of the Camarillo WRP’s most recent expansion in 2005. CSD also maintains approximately 158 miles of underground sewer lines and four lift stations as a part of its wastewater collection system. The CSD currently recycles a portion of its wastewater through agricultural irrigation of nearby farmlands and landscape irrigation in the vicinity of Camarillo WRP. RW not used for agricultural and landscape purposes is discharged into Conejo Creek. Table 6-3 presents the estimated wastewater collected from within the City’s water service area.

6.1.5.2 Recycled Water System Description The CSD has served discharged treated wastewater from its Camarillo WRP to RW users since the plant’s original construction in 1955. The CSD entered into an Agreement with Mary Smith Properties (Mary Smith) in 1955, which was subsequently revised in 1977, to serve treated wastewater to Mary Smith for agricultural irrigation purposes. In 1995, land owned under Mary Smith was sold to four parties: Brucker Family Trust, Conejo Mountain Memorial Park, CSD, and Margaret Howard. The Mary Smith properties are entitled to recycled water deliveries proportionate to the size of the parcel; therefore, CSD’s total obligation to deliver treated wastewater was reduced proportionally by the amount of land to sold to CSD. While now separate entities, all land served as part of the original Mary Smith Properties is still referenced as Mary Smith for this UWMP. RW is pumped from the CSD’s effluent pump station to a storage pond with a volume of approximately 1.95 MG. From the storage pond, water is pumped to nearby agricultural fields and the Conejo Mountain Memorial Park. Under the CSD’s Agreement with Mary Smith, the City endeavors to deliver 2,302 AF on an annual basis and no more than 750 AF in any given month, however no minimum flow is guaranteed. Historically, the CSD has delivered approximately 1,500 AFY to Mary Smith. The CSD currently provides recycled water to the several farms outside of their water service area, including Mary Smith Properties and the Marz Farm. Additionally, the City supplies the Village at the Park (VATP) development south of Highway 101 including VATP parks, VATP Homeowners


Association (HOA), and the Camarillo Family YMCA. The City also provides recycled water to fill the City’s water trucks and street sweepers through a non-potable hydrant located at the recycled water filling station approximately two miles northwest of the facility at the end of Village Commons B. The RW effluent pump station consists of four effluent pumps that pump to the RW system, and a dedicated pump that serves Mary Smith. No onsite storage currently exists; however, the City is pursuing the construction of a 1 MG reservoir capable of meeting daily demand. Table 6-5 summarizes recycled water uses within the City’s service area. Table 6-6 compares the amount of RW anticipated to be used in 2020 compared to the projection from the 2015 UWMP.

6.1.5.3 Potential, Current, and Projected Recycled Water Uses With the City’s current and projected RW availability, and without necessitating a supplemental water source to meet peak demand months, the City has connected most of the users identified in the 2014 RW Report. Additional agricultural and industrial users have been identified and the City may have future supply availability to serve these customers. Future customers may include Daily Farms, Hiji Farms, and Rancho Rosal School. It is assumed that recycled water could increase by 1 MGD, or 1,120 AFY, but not all users are located within the City’s water service area. Table 6-5 shows the City’s projected recycled water use within their service area. The City anticipates that the Reclaimed Water Reservoir will be online before 2023. The Reclaimed Water Reservoir will allow the City to effectively manage its recycled water and reduce discharges to Conejo Creek. In late 2020, the City began delivering excess RW to the Camrosa Water District further reducing discharges to Conejo Creek.

6.1.5.4 Actions to Exchange and Optimize Future Recycled Water Use The City is pursuing a project to expand recycled water storage at their WRP facility. Refer to Section 6.1.8.2 for additional details. Table 6-7. DWR 6-6R Methods to Expand Future Recycled Water Use

6.1.6 Desalinated Water Opportunities The CWC requires that the UWMP address the opportunities for development of desalinated water, including ocean water, brackish water, and groundwater.



6.1.6.1 Brackish Water and/or Groundwater Desalination Currently, high TDS levels are found within the groundwater basin underlying the City’s water service area, primarily in the northern portion of the Pleasant Valley Basin. The City blends pumped groundwater with imported water to lower the TDS prior to introduction to the potable water system. This has caused the City to shift groundwater pumping to the City’s wells located in the south Pleasant Valley Basin near the airport. Over the last several years, the City has invested considerable resources into planning for the NPV Desalter Facility, which will treat TDS in the City’s groundwater, allowing for an increase in the City’s groundwater use and lowering the amount of imported water required for blending. The project is expected to be completed and begin delivering water in late 2021 (see Section 6.1.8).

6.1.6.2 Seawater Desalination Development of desalinated seawater is not being considered for the current planning period due to the availability of imported and groundwater supplies to meet the current and projected demand and the City’s prohibitive distance to the ocean, which makes it cost prohibitive to consider desalination as a viable water supply alternative.

6.1.7 Water Exchanges and Transfers The City does not pursue separate water transfer or exchange opportunities with other agencies or suppliers at this time. Such an arrangement could occur in the future.

6.1.8 Future Water Projects The City has two ongoing water supply projects. The NPV Desalter Facility is currently in the final phases of construction and is expecting completion in late 2021. The Reclaimed Water Reservoir is currently in design and is expected to start construction in 2022. The two project details are summarized in the following sections and project details are included in the subsequent Table 6-8.

6.1.8.1 NPV Desalter Facility The NPV Desalter Facility Project includes planning, design, and construction of a desalter facility that is expected to yield approximately 3,877 AFY of potable water for a projected project life of 25 years. The facility will be located at the northeast boundary of the City in existing agricultural land recently acquired by the City and annexed within City limits. Brackish groundwater for the project will be extracted using the City’s existing Wells A and B. The NPV Desalter Facility Project will utilize the process of pretreatment filtration followed by reverse osmosis (RO) to produce a reliable, high-quality supply. Treated, stabilized (finished) water will be pumped to customers using the City’s existing distribution infrastructure. In addition to treatment processes, the project includes a new administration building, emergency generator, a prefabricated building to protect the RO system, storage tanks, restrooms, a new pipeline to connect existing Wells A and B to the site, a new pipeline to connect to the existing water system, a discharge brine connection to the Calleguas Salinity Management Project, and other site improvements, as necessary.

6.1.8.2 Reclaimed Water Reservoir The Reclaimed Water Storage Tank Project (Project) is located within the CSD’s existing WRP. Recycled water storage at the WRP is currently limited to storing secondary effluent within an equalization pond and controlling flow through tertiary processes and disinfection. Treated tertiary



effluent flows directly from the chlorine contact basin to the recycled water pump station without any means to store the treated water. Due to these constraints, recycled water delivery is limited to the instantaneous production rate or treated effluent of the WRP. The City is challenged in their ability to serve existing customers and connecting new customers. The City has provided a usage schedule to recycled water users because water demand is high at night for multiple irrigation customers, while production is low, consistent with domestic wastewater diurnal patterns. To expand recycled water service, the City requires on-site storage of recycled water to stabilize peaks in supply and demand and provide operational flexibility. Additionally, delivery of recycled water will support the CSD in eliminating discharge to Conejo Creek as required to maintain National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System compliance. The City anticipates the need for storage as demand for recycled water grows by an estimated 1,120 AFY. The project includes a 1 MG concrete storage reservoir which will be connected to the City’s existing chlorine contact basins and recycled water pump station. The reservoir is planned to be located in the southwest corner of the WRP replacing one of the plant’s existing sludge drying beds. The project is currently in design and is scheduled to begin construction in 2022. Table 6-8. DWR 6-7R Expected Future Water Supply Projects or Programs

6.1.9 Summary of Existing and Planned Sources of Water As described in Section 6.1.1 and 6.1.2, the available groundwater supply after 2021 is expected to be 5,884 AFY and the CMWD supply has a cost limit of 5,274 water as shown in Table 6-9. The City is planning to predominantly use existing and planned groundwater sources with baseline purchased water for specific zones. During peak times, the City will supplement groundwater sources with additional purchased water on an as needed basis.

Energy Intensity On average, the City uses 3,334 kilowatt-hours (kWh) for every MG of water produced (3,334 kWh/MG). Energy usage includes potable deliveries. A summary of energy used to extract and divert, place into storage, convey, treat, and distribute the City’s supplies for 2020 is provided in Table 6-10.

Water Service Reliability and Drought Risk Assessment

This section considers the City’s water supply reliability during normal, single dry, and multiple dry water years over the planning horizon. A DRA of the next five years is also included.

Water service reliability corresponds to an urban water supplier’s ability to meet projected future customer demand under a variety of reasonably expected conditions. The supply reliability assessment discusses factors (i.e., climatic, environmental, water quality, and legal) that could potentially limit the expected quantity of water available from the City’s current and projected sources of supply through 2045.

IN THIS SECTION

• Water Service Reliability Assessment

• Drought Risk Assessment

Multiple drought scenarios are considered and the quantitative impacts of the aforementioned factors on water supply and demand are discussed, as well as possible methods for addressing these issues. This section also includes the DRA, which provides a quick snapshot of the anticipated supply surplus or deficit if a drought were to occur in the next five years.

Evaluating the water service reliability is critical for water management as it can help identify potential problems before they happen. Water managers can then take proactive steps to mitigate shortages by encouraging water use efficiency, securing new water supplies, and/or investing in infrastructure.

The water service reliability assessment and DRA results indicate that no water shortages are anticipated within the next 25-years under normal, single-dry water years, and multiple dry water years.

Water Service Reliability and Drought Risk Assessment Section 7


Water Service Reliability Assessment The City’s 2020 UWMP water service reliability assessment compares total projected water supply and demands over the next 25 years in five-year increments under normal, single-dry water year, and five-year consecutive dry period. This section presents the reliability assessment for the City’s service area. The CMWD 2020 UWMP describes that CMWD’s water supplies are sufficient to meet projected demands under a normal, single-dry year, and five consecutive year drought (Calleguas Municipal Water District, 2021). CMWD is well positioned to mitigate the challenges posed by hydrologic variability, potential climate change, and regulatory risk through the supply capabilities and investments in storage made on the Metropolitan Regional-level and through CMWDs’ own reasonable available outage supply stored in Lake Bard (7,500 AF) and the Las Posas Aquifer Storage and Recovery Wellfield (20,000 AF) (Calleguas Municipal Water District, 2021). With the exception of an emergency intertie connection with Crestview Mutual Water Company, the City receives all of its water from the Pleasant Valley Basin and CMWD.

7.1.1 Constraints on Water Sources As described in Section 6, below average rainfall and declining groundwater levels led to the adoption of the Allocation Ordinance, which identified an allocation of 4,014 AFY (decreasing by 5% per year until 2040) for the City’s existing wells only, whereas the NPV Desalter Facility has its own project-specific allocation of 4,500 AFY, which is expected to yield 3,877 AFY of potable water supply. Therefore, the available groundwater supply after 2021 is expected to decrease from 2021-2025, and the rest of the City’s water supply will be met by imported water. The CMWD supply has a Tier 1 cost limit of 5,274 AFY. For certain pressure zones and during peak times, the City will also still continue purchasing water from CMWD when the supply from the NPV Desalter Facility and the City’s other wells are not enough to meet demand. This is expected to vary seasonally and will depend on changing regulations within the Pleasant Valley Basin and on future drought conditions. CMWD utilizes imported and local water supplies. Imported water from CMWD, which is purchased from MWDSC, is affected by multiple factors. MWDSC’s supply is imported from the Colorado River and Bay-Delta through the CRA and the SWP, respectively.

The local and imported supplies are affected by legal, environmental, water quality and climatic factors.

Legal Supply allocations from the CRA are dictated through legal agreements and, in some cases, court settlements. Supply from the SWP is affected by legal factors, including the Bay-Delta Accord, which changed the operating criteria of the SWP and can significantly reduce supply to MWDSC in dry years. Several of the groundwater basins within the CMWD service area are regulated to ensure that the groundwater resources are utilized in the best interest of the public and for the common benefit of the all the water users.

Environmental Several species of fish located in the Bay-Delta have been listed as endangered, which has led to decreased pumping by the SWP and environmental litigation. Numerous environmental regulations limit the discharge of brine waste from desalination facilities. These regulations may impact CMWD and its retail water providers by limiting utilization of local brackish groundwater resources. A major earthquake could damage levees within the Bay-Delta, the California Aqueduct, and/or the CRA, interrupting water supply to the region for many months, if not years (Calleguas Municipal Water



District, 2021). Environmental water demands are increasing, especially in the Bay-Delta, thus reducing the availability of water for other uses within California (Calleguas Municipal Water District, 2021).

Water Quality Disinfection byproducts pose water quality issues for the SWP. Disinfection byproducts form when organic carbon and bromide in the source water react with disinfectants at the water treatment plant. Groundwater inflows into the SWP also pose arsenic concerns. TDS levels in the Ventura County groundwater are increasing due to discharges from local wastewater treatment facilities. Increased groundwater treatment may be required to utilize local groundwater supplies. Groundwater quality has historically proven problematic for the City and has had adverse effects on its water supply. High levels of TDS and chloride have resulted in the City blending groundwater with imported water in order to achieve water quality standards. As mentioned in Section 6, the City is developing the NPV Desalter Facility for groundwater treatment and desalination of Pleasant Valley Basin water. This project will allow the City to stop pumping the groundwater aquifer in areas where the groundwater level is decreasing, and instead take water from areas where the groundwater is of poor quality but increasing in quantity.

Climatic Variable hydrology in the basins that feed the Bay-Delta affects SWP supply. Recent climate change studies indicate that Bay-Delta and Colorado River supplies could be even more variable than that of the historical record, further stressing California water supplies (Calleguas Municipal Water District, 2021).

7.1.2 Year Type Characterization DWR defines three year types that must be included in the water service reliability assessment.

These include: • Average Year. This condition represents a single year or averaged range of years that most closely

represents the average water supply available. DWR uses the terms average and normal interchangeably when addressing the water year type.

• Single Dry Year. The single-dry year is recommended to be the year that represents the lowest water supply available to the supplier.

• Five-Consecutive-Year Drought. The driest five-year historical sequence for the supplier, which may be the lowest average water supply available for five years in a row.

The supply reliability for the City is dependent upon the supply reliability of CMWD and the Pleasant Valley Basin. The CMWD 2020 UWMP describes that CMWD’s water supplies are sufficient to meet projected demands under a normal, single-dry year, and five consecutive year drought (Calleguas Municipal Water District, 2021) as shown in Table 7-1. For the purposes of the supply projection, it is assumed that the Allocation Ordinance interim allocation will remain in effect into the foreseeable future during average, single-dry, and multiple dry years as shown in Table 7-2. Short-term supply constraints are discussed in detail in the WSCP.

Therefore, the available groundwater supply in 2021 is expected to be 6,983 AFY, but that will reduce through 2040, and the rest of the City’s water supply will be met by imported water.

7.1.3 Water Service Reliability Results of the water supply and demand analysis for normal, single-dry, and five-year consecutive droughts are shown in the following tables. The City expects to meet demands under all water year scenarios as shown in Table 7-3 through Table 7-5 and will continue to promote water conservation to ensure reliability and resiliency.

Rainfall records were used to determine recent average (2012), single-dry (2013), and five consecutive dry years (2013–2017) for estimating demand responses under these conditions. Demand responses during a recent single-dry year in 2013 resulted in a 3% increase from an average year demand in 2012. Therefore, the projected single-dry year water demands through 2045 are assumed to increase by 3% under similar hydrologic conditions through 2045 as shown in Table 7-4 and are able to be met with the available supply.

*Five consecutive dry years demands are expected to change based on actual demands in five consecutive dry years of 2013–2017 compared to an average year of 2012 as follows: year 1 (103%), year 2 (93%), year 3 (83%), year 4 (78%), and year 5 (81%).

7.1.4 Descriptions of Management Tools and Options The City’s sources of existing and planned water supply for the UWMP’s planning horizon (2020–2045) are groundwater, imported water, and recycled water. The City will maximize its groundwater supply by implementing the NPV Desalter Facility, reducing water losses, working with neighboring agencies and CMWD to coordinate response to shortages, continuing to utilize recycled water to offset potable demand, and continuing to implement demand management measures. Details on the City’s water loss efforts are provided in Section 4, supply plans are provided in Section 6, the response plan for short- and long-term shortages is provided in Section 8, and conservation programs are provided in Section 9. The City is committed to ensuring that safe and reliable water is provided to both current customers and future generations. CMWD, MWDSC, and DWR are implementing several water supply strategies to ensure that sufficient supply is available in drought conditions. These strategies include investments in conservation, water recycling, transfer agreements, storage, and supply. Based on these investments, DWR, MWDSC, and CMWD anticipate that there will be sufficient supply available to meet forecasted purveyor demands as described in the CMWD Draft 2020 UWMP (Calleguas Municipal Water District, 2021).

Drought Risk Assessment New to the 2020 UWMP, CWC 10635 (b) now requires a DRA. The DRA provides a quick snapshot of the anticipated supply surplus or deficit should a five-consecutive year drought occur in the next five years. The DRA can be modified or updated outside of the UWMP five-year plan cycle, so a description of the data, methodology, and basis for shortage conditions must be included in this 2020 UWMP. The DRA evaluates each water supply’s reliability and compares available water supplies and projected demands during a five consecutive dry years scenario. This short-term analysis can help water suppliers foresee undesired risks, such as upcoming shortages, and provide time to evaluate and implement the necessary response actions needed to mitigate shortages in a less impactful manner to the community and environment. If demands cannot be met by the expected available supply, shortage response actions from the City’s WSCP may be implemented. Details on the City’s WSCP are provided in Section 8.



7.2.1 Data, Methods, and Basis for Water Shortage Condition The DRA builds on the water service reliability analysis from Section 7.1, which incorporated an assessment of historical consumption data, by customer class, populated from billing records, and historical supply data, by source, from production reports. Based on this data, historical demand has never exceeded available supply. For this DRA analysis, normal year demand conditions and five consecutive year drought supply conditions were considered for 2021–2025.

7.2.2 DRA Water Source Reliability As described previously, the City does not anticipate any supply shortages within the next five years as shown in Table 7-6.

Water Shortage Contingency Plan

This Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) is a detailed plan for how the City of Camarillo (City) intends to predict and respond to foreseeable and unforeseeable water shortages. A water shortage occurs when the water supply is reduced to a level that cannot support typical demand at any given time or a reduction in demand is otherwise needed.

This WSCP is used to provide guidance to the City, staff, and the public by identifying anticipated shortages and response actions to allow for efficient management of any water shortage with predictability and accountability. The WSCP is a detailed proposal for how the City intends to act in the case of an actual water shortage condition. This WSCP is not intended to provide absolute direction; rather it is intended to provide options to manage water shortages. Official water shortage declarations by the City may include any combination of components described in this WSCP.

Water shortages can be triggered by a hydrologic limitation in supply (i.e., a prolonged period of below normal precipitation), limitations or failure of supply and treatment infrastructure, or a combination of conditions. Hydrologic or drought limitations tend to develop and abate more slowly, whereas infrastructure failure tends to happen quickly and relatively unpredictably. Water supplies may be interrupted or reduced significantly in several ways, such as during a drought that limits supplies, an earthquake that damages water delivery or storage facilities, a regional power outage, or a toxic spill that affects water quality.

Special Water Features Distinctions Defines considerations and definitions for water use for decorative features versus pools and spas.

Plan Adoption, Submittal, and Availability Describes the WSCP adoption process, submittal, and availability after each revision.

This WSCP was prepared in conjunction with the City’s 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) (Water Systems Consulting Inc., June 2021) and is a standalone document that can be modified as needed. This document is compliant with the California Water Code (CWC) 10632 and incorporated guidance from the State of California Department of Water Resources (DWR) UWMP Guidebook 2020 (State of California Department of Water Resources, March 2021) and the American Water Works



Association (AWWA) Manual of Water Supply Practices (M60) Drought Preparedness and Response (American Water Works Association, 2019). Volumes discussed in this WSCP will be in acre-feet (AF).

The WSCP addresses several types of water supply shortages that could potentially impact the City and its customers: • Long-term supply shortages due to prolonged drought, contamination, destruction of critical water

supply facilities, etc. • Short-term water supply shortages due to natural or man-made catastrophic emergencies or

production capacity limitations.

The City first developed its WSCP in July 2009. Ordinance No. 1126, § 3 (Exhibit A), adopted July 27, 2016, amended Chapter 14.12 of the Camarillo Municipal Code (Water Conservation Ordinance), and is included in Appendix G. The 2009 WSCP and Water Conservation Ordinance were developed as a tool for the City to manage its water supplies in event of prolonged drought, natural disaster, or water failures. The Water Conservation Ordinance details the City’s current WSCP. The City was in a Stage 2 water supply shortage from 2014 until late July 2016 when the City declared a Stage 1 condition with amendments to the Water Conservation Ordinance. The July 2016 amendments include changes to reflect permanent water conservation measures required by the State and permanent water offset requirements for new development projects. The Water Conservation Ordinance provides existing authorization for water use restrictions and prohibitions and may be revised based on options identified in this WSCP to become effective upon adoption by City Council.

Water Supply Reliability Analysis This section is consistent with CWC 10632(a)(1) and describes the key findings of the water supply reliability analysis conducted pursuant to CWC 10635, which is presented in Section 7 of the City’s 2020 UWMP. As part of the 2020 UWMP, water suppliers must perform a long-term (2025–2045) water service reliability assessment to evaluate supply reliability under normal, single-dry year, and five consecutive dry year periods and a short-term (2021–2025) Drought Risk Assessment (DRA) to evaluate reliability under an impending five consecutive dry year period. Water supply reliability reflects the City’s ability to meet the water needs of its customers with water supplies under varying conditions. The analysis considers plausible hydrological and regulatory variability, infrastructure capacity, climate conditions, and other factors that affect the City’s water supply and demand. The City expects to meet demands under all water year scenarios while continuing to promote conservation. The DRA analyzes historical data to allow the City to view patterns and more reliably determine if there could be any water shortages within a given time frame. The DRA looks at historical consumption data, by customer class, populated from billing records, and historical supply data, by source, from production reports. Next, future demand and supply estimates for the planning period are analyzed to determine if there are any gaps between supply and demand. As mentioned above, the City does not anticipate a supply shortage. The City is committed to promoting conservation and use of recycled water to increase its supply portfolio, resiliency, and subsequent reliability as described in Section 7 of the 2020 UWMP.

Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment As established by CWC 10632.1, urban water suppliers must conduct an Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment (Annual Assessment) and submit an Annual Water Shortage Assessment Report to DWR. The Annual Assessment is an evaluation of the short-term outlook for supplies and demands



to determine whether the potential for a supply shortage exists and whether there is a need to trigger a WSCP shortage level and response actions to maintain supply reliability. Beginning by July 1, 2022, and every year after, the City must prepare their Annual Assessment and submit an Annual Water Shortage Assessment Report to DWR. The annual report should report the approved anticipated shortage level, triggered shortage response actions, compliance and enforcement actions, and communication actions that will be implemented to mitigate the shortage identified in the Annual Assessment.

8.2.1 Key Data Inputs and Evaluation Criteria Declarations of water supply conditions will occur annually, or more frequently if conditions warrant it, after evaluation by City staff and approval by the City Council at a public meeting. Such resolution will be based on the current shortage situation, allocations determined by Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency (FCGMA), and the amount of imported water available from Calleguas Municipal Water District (CMWD) and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWDSC). The respective water shortage dictates the degree at which shortage response actions are implemented at any particular time in the City.

Some of the specific potential reasons to change levels are listed as follows: • Advancement to subsequent level

− Emergency condition, such as failure of pumping equipment, etc., that requires a percentage of water consumption reduction greater than that of the current stage.

− Regulatory action that requires more than that level’s percentage reduction in water consumption.

− Failure to maintain target water consumption reduction goal of that particular stage. • Withdrawal to previous level

− Emergency condition has been decreased in severity or resolved, so that the previous target goal may be utilized.

− Regulatory action has been resolved or modified. − Water consumption reductions have been above that necessary to meet target goals of the

current stage.

The City is responsible for supplying water for the health and safety needs of the community. If it appears that the City may be unable to supply the demands and requirements of the water customers, the City Council may declare a water supply shortage. Key data inputs and their sources for the Annual Assessments are summarized in Table 8-1 and described in detail in Section 8.2.2.

Evaluation criteria that can be used to determine and declare severity of supply shortages may include any, or combinations, of the following: • Historic rainfall: reflects changes to supply due to changes in groundwater recharge. • Water levels within the Pleasant Valley Basin: reflects status of groundwater conditions. • Existing infrastructure capabilities and plausible constraints: reflects limited production and

distribution capacity due to a variety of factors potentially including, but not limited to, man-made or natural catastrophic events.

• Customer demands: reflects current year and one projected single-dry year conditions for comparison to available supplies.



• State mandates: reflects State orders and mandatory compliance with water use efficiency standards.

• Other locally applicable evaluation criteria: determined as necessary.

Supply shortages due to any combination of drought, imported supply constraints, or groundwater conditions affect the City and surrounding region, not just the City’s customers. A shortage emergency may be declared when it is demonstrated that conditions threaten the ability to provide water for public health, safety, and welfare of the community. Furthermore, compliance with State mandates for water use efficiency can be declared during drought or in preparation for future droughts, such as in response to the Governor’s drought declarations in the 2012–2016 drought with a subsequent Executive Order B-37-16 and related legislation for Making Conservation a California Way of Life. Short-term and long-term supply shortages may be caused by constrained production capacity or natural or man-made catastrophic emergencies and include, but are not limited to, the following events: power outages, winter storms, wildfires, earthquakes, structural failures, contamination, and bomb threats. These types of emergencies may limit the City’s immediate ability to provide adequate water service to meet the requirements for human consumption, sanitation, and fire protection. Impacts of such emergencies vary in duration; thus, consumption reduction measures and prohibitions may differ for short-term and long-term shortages. Table 8-1. Key Data Inputs for the Annual Assessment.

KEY DATA INPUT SOURCE

Rainfall Monthly rainfall data. Rainfall sources for the City include local weather stations.

Groundwater conditions Production data, static water levels, input from the City’s Water Division staff.

Infrastructure capabilities and plausible constraints Production data, input from the City’s Water Division staff.

Customer demands Customer billing data, 2020 UWMP projections, input from the City’s Water Billing staff.

State mandates Executive Orders from the Governor, State Water Resources Control Board orders and policies, input from the City’s Water Division staff.

8.2.1.1 Production Capacity Infrastructure capabilities and overall production will be analyzed to determine if a possible outage or deficiency may occur or continue in the coming year due to a variety of factors potentially including, but not limited to man-made or natural catastrophic events. This may include well replacement, evaluation of wells for possible contamination, pipeline repairs, and others. If the City determines there are limitations to production capacity, a shortage level declaration and subsequent demand reductions may be required.

8.2.1.2 State Mandates The City has historically been required by the State to reduce demand regardless of supply reliability at the given time. As described previously, compliance with State mandates for water use efficiency can be declared during a drought or in preparation for future droughts, such as in response to the Governor’s drought declarations in the 2012–2016 drought with a subsequent Executive Order B-37-16 and related legislation for Making Conservation a California Way of Life. The City may consider State



mandates and mandatory compliance with water use efficiency standards in determining water shortage levels.

8.2.2 Annual Assessment Procedures City staff will perform the Annual Assessment between April and May, or on a more frequent basis if necessary. Steps to conduct the Annual Assessment are as follows: 1. Staff gather the key inputs, compile historical data, and analyze potential supply and demand gaps. 2. Staff provide insight on demand trends, water supply conditions, and production capacity. 3. A hydrogeologist may be consulted to provide additional groundwater condition information. 4. Staff will determine a recommended level of shortage required at the implementation or termination

of each level that will then be brought to the City Council for approval. The Water Superintendent will keep the Public Works Director apprised of any conditions that might diminish the City’s water supply or increase customer demand. The Public Works Director, based upon information furnished by the Water Superintendent, will make recommendations to the City Manager about the advancement, withdrawal, or termination of water shortage levels and will provide reports on the water supply and demand status as required. At a minimum, a “Water Conservation Report” will be made available to the City Manager and City Council on a monthly basis.

5. The City Manager has the ultimate responsibility for the administration of the WSCP and related program elements. Delegation of this administration, either in part or whole, is at the discretion of the City Manager. The City Manager, or the Manager’s designee, is authorized and directed to implement the applicable provisions of the WSCP as determined necessary to fulfill its purposes.

6. Based on water supply and water demand information, the City Council may, by resolution, order that the appropriate water shortage level be implemented or terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this WSCP and the relevant provisions of the Camarillo Municipal Code, the Government Code, and the CWC. Findings and recommendations are presented to the City Council.

7. City Council will declare the level of shortage required at the implementation or termination of each level and the declaration shall remain in effect until the City Council so otherwise declares.

8. When a resolution of the City Council has been issued to change the water shortage level, the public will be notified through publication of the resolution in the local newspaper, on the City’s website, and in the billing statement.

9. The City will develop and/or implement appropriate communication protocols and applicable response actions.

The Annual Assessment starts in 2022 with the first Annual Assessment Report due to DWR by July 1, 2022.

Six Standard Water Shortage Levels This section is consistent with CWC 10632(a)(2) and describes the City’s water shortage levels. New to the CWC, water suppliers must now adopt six standard water shortage levels. Shortage levels indicate the gap between supply and demand compared to normal year conditions. DWR standardized six shortage levels to provide a consistent regional and statewide approach to measure water supply shortage conditions. The six shortage levels correspond to 10-, 20-, 30-, 40-, 50-percent (%), and greater than 50% shortage compared to the normal reliability conditions. However, a water supplier may use its own shortage levels if a crosswalk is included relating its existing shortage levels to the six standard levels. The crosswalk between the City’s five levels and the standard water shortage levels is shown in Figure 8-1.



The City’s existing WSCP describes four stages of water demand reductions that may be invoked during water supply shortages. In this WSCP, a fifth shortage level is added to the City’s existing four-level system in order to meet new requirements to include a greater than 50% shortage level. Table 8-2 shows the five levels and their representative shortages. As shown in Table 8-2, the water shortage levels include consideration of water shortages up to a Level 5 Shortage, an Emergency Water Supply Shortage, which includes a greater than 50% shortage level with a corresponding water demand reduction objective of greater than 50%. Each level includes a water reduction objective, supply conditions, and percent of normal water supply, which may vary based on the nature of water supply emergency. The implementation of the plan is dependent on the cause, severity, and anticipated duration of the water supply shortage. A combination of water conservation measures would be used to reduce water usage in the event of water shortages. Table 8-2. Water Shortage Contingency - Rationing Stages

SHORTAGE LEVEL SUPPLY CONDITION (% OF NORMAL) REDUCTION GOAL

Permanent Restrictions

1 – Water Supply Alert 85 – 95% 10%

2 – Water Supply Shortage 70-84% 20%

3 – Critical Water Supply Shortage 60-69% 30%

4 – Severe Water Supply Shortage 50 - 59% 50%

5 – Emergency Water Supply Shortage >50% >50%

Shortage Response Actions This section is in accordance with CWC 10632(a)(4) and 10632.5(a) and describes the response actions that may be implemented or considered for each level with emphasis to minimize social and economic impacts to the community. The City expects to mitigate supply shortages through a variety of response actions including demand reduction actions, conservation, operational changes, outreach, and mandatory prohibitions.



This WSCP identifies various actions to be considered by the City during water shortage conditions. In the event of a water shortage, the City will evaluate the cause of the shortage to help inform which response actions should be implemented. Depending on the nature of the water shortage, the City can elect to implement a combination of response actions to mitigate the shortage and reduce gaps between supply and demand. It should be noted that all actions listed for Level 1 apply to Level 2, 3, 4, and 5. Likewise, Level 2 actions apply to Levels 3, 4, and 5; Level 3 actions apply to Level 4 and 5; and Level 4 actions apply to Level 5. If necessary, the City may enact additional actions that are not listed in this WSCP. The following section discusses the potential response actions for each of the City’s five water supply shortage levels.

8.4.1 Demand Reduction City water customers and users will be required to comply with the applicable water conservation measures of the stage in effect. The details regarding such measures are found in Sections 14.12.030 (Permanent Water Conservation Measures) and 14.12.040 (Additional Water Conservation Measures) of the City’s Water Conservation Ordinance – Municipal Code Chapter 14.12.

The City’s Water Conservation Ordinance Permanent Water Conservation Measures that are in in effect at all times are as follows: • Landscape irrigation is allowed only on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday between the hours

of 6 p.m. and 8 a.m. and for no more than 15 minutes per station. • No watering landscape between the hours of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Three-week waivers for new

landscaping are available by calling (805) 388-5373. • Landscape irrigation water must not be allowed to run-off to waste. • Washing of hard surfaces, such as sidewalks, patios, driveways, or parking lots, is prohibited. • A self-closing shut-off nozzle must be attached to the hose when washing cars, trucks, boats, or

trailers, etc. • Water leaks must be repaired within 72 hours of discovery or notification by the City. • Ornamental fountains must use re-circulated water only. • Commercial lodging establishments must provide customers the option of not having towels and

linen laundered daily. • The installation of single pass cooling systems is prohibited in buildings requesting new water

service. • Landscape irrigation with potable water within 48 hours after measurable rainfall is prohibited. • Water may be served only by request wherever food is served. • Food service establishments, such as restaurants and cafés, must utilize water conserving

nozzles on pre-rinse spray valves. • Commercial car wash facilities may only use water to wash cars, trucks, boats, trailers, buses,

recreation vehicles, campers, or any other vehicles with mechanical automatic car wash facilities that use water recycling equipment, a bucket and hand, or a hose equipped with an automatic positive self-closing valve that requires the person using the hose to apply and maintain pressure at the outlet end of the hose to activate and maintain the flow of water.

• No use of potable water to irrigate ornamental turn on public and private medians. • Applicants for new potable water service for a significant new development project must cause to

be prepared a water impact study to the satisfaction of the public works director demonstrating the project's total water demand at build out.



• The irrigation with potable water of landscapes outside of homes and buildings must be consistent the City's water efficient landscape ordinance as set forth in Chapter 14.14 of the Municipal Code.

• In order for an application for new potable water service to be approved and a will-serve letter issued for a significant new development project, the applicant must demonstrate that the proposed project will not create additional demand on the city's water system. Further details can be found in the City’s Municipal Code.

• Note that hand-watering gardens with a hose using an automatic shut-off nozzle is permitted at any time.

In the event of a water supply shortage, the City may implement Additional Water Conservation Measures to increase water conservation including the following, listed by level (note that each level includes the restrictions from prior levels):

Level 1 Shortage • Irrigation limited to four days a week

Level 2 Shortage • Irrigation limited to three days a week • Obligation to fix leaks reduced to 48 hours • Filling ponds or ornamental lakes restricted to sustaining aquatic life • Agricultural irrigation limited to three days per week • Construction water must use recycled water if available

Level 3 Shortage • Irrigation limited to two days a week • Agricultural irrigation prohibited unless recycled water is available

Level 4 Shortage • Watering is prohibited except with recycled water under restricted conditions • Obligation to fix leaks reduced to 24 hours • Washing of vehicles is prohibited except by use of a commercial car wash facility • Limited filling of pools and spas • No new potable water service connections, except under restricted conditions • No new annexations

Level 5 Shortage • Adjustments to actions from previous stages as necessary depending on the severity and duration of

the water shortage in coordination with the Emergency Response Plan • Water rationing requirement deemed appropriate to protect public health, safety, and welfare In the event of a water supply shortage, the City may implement other measures to induce water conservation. Estimated savings from quantifiable actions at each level are shown in Table 8-3. Conservation measures, which can be implemented at various levels, are listed in Table 8-4.

1 Required savings may be met through a combination of quantifiable and unquantifiable actions. The City will only implement measures to the extent necessary to mitigate a water shortage, though estimates may indicate a greater savings is obtainable. It is anticipated that required savings will be met through quantifiable shortage response actions and through other unquantifiable actions, including outreach efforts. 2 Quantifiable savings are estimated based on various published sources and are provided as a guide. The degree of implementation of actions can vary in each stage and can result in a wide range of savings. For a list of all the City’s specific shortage response actions and their maximum potential savings, refer to Table 8-4.

1 Reduction in the shortage gap is estimated and can vary significantly.

8.4.2 Supply Augmentation Given the City’s sufficient supply, the City has no immediate plan to augment supply in response to shortages.

8.4.3 Operational Changes During shortage conditions, operations may be affected by demand reduction responses. Operational changes to address a short-term water shortage may be implemented based on the severity of the reduction goal. The City will maximize its supply by implementing operational strategies and demand reduction measures.



As part of the Annual Assessment process, the City will consider their operational procedures at the time of a shortage to identify changes that can be implemented to address water shortage on a short-term basis, including but not limited to: • Expansion of public information campaign to educate and inform customers of the water shortage

emergency and required water savings • Decrease line flushing to only on a compliant basis • Use water patrols and increase frequency of meter reading by recruiting staff from other

departments, if necessary • Offer water use surveys • Implement or modify drought rate structure or surcharge or water emergency tiered pricing, pursuant

to the requirements of Proposition 218 and in accordance with California Law • Monitor construction meters and fire hydrant meters for efficient water use in the event that a meter

identified wastes water. • Reduce overhead in the short-term and mid-term by deferring non-critical CIP and major

maintenance expenditures, and in the long-term by adjusting operational and staffing levels and retail water rate structures to incorporate the reality of lower retail water sales than previously anticipated.

• Decrease in the level or, if need be, even a total interruption in the expenditures for the City’s facility replacement program.

8.4.4 Additional Mandatory Restrictions Section 14.12.040 of the Camarillo Municipal Code determines additional water conservation measures that may apply upon the effective date of the City Council's establishment of the relevant water supply condition stage.

8.4.5 Emergency Response Plan The City has included emergency conditions as a triggering action for advancement to a subsequent shortage level. A catastrophic interruption could be considered an emergency condition. The City also has an Emergency Response Plan with relevant responses in Sections 4.6 and 4.7.

8.4.6 Seismic Risk Assessment and Mitigation Plan Disasters, such as earthquakes, can and will occur without notice. Refer to the 2015 Ventura County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan (Appendix H) Sections 4 and 5 for the Seismic Risk Assessment and Section 7 for Mitigation Plan procedures.

8.4.7 Shortage Response Action Effectiveness The City’s water system currently has water meters on all production sources and customer connections. These meters record the amount of water consumed at each location. Customer consumption totals are tallied on a monthly basis for billing purposes. The Water Superintendent will inform the Public Works Director of any increase in water consumed or decrease in water supplies. The Public Works Director will then make recommendations to the City Manager on whether to change water shortage levels and will provide supporting reports of consumption or supply as required.



Under normal water supply conditions, potable water production figures are recorded daily and totals are reported monthly. From this information, month-to-month and year-to-year statistics can be calculated to track water use and subsequent increases or reductions in consumption levels. This data allows the City to determine the effectiveness of the implemented shortage response actions. If reduction goals are not being met, the City Council can make the necessary decisions for corrective action to be taken. During water shortages, savings are measured in comparison to what is considered to be normal year demand (i.e., current customer base with approximately average rainfall), or in reference to a specific base year as may be dictated by Statewide requirements. Estimates of the effectiveness for actions has been included in Table 8-4 and summarized in Table 8-3. It is assumed that a given required shortage to be addressed in each level can be met by quantifiable measures and the remainder of shortage can be addressed by unquantifiable measures, operational changes, and supply augmentation. It is expected that response action effectiveness is also a result of successful communication and outreach efforts.

Communication Protocols This section is in accordance with CWC 10632(a)(5) and describes the communication protocols and procedures to inform customers, the public, and state and local officials of any current or predicted water shortages. When a shortage level is enacted or changed, a notice is published in the local the newspaper and the City’s website updated. Based on the severity of the shortage, the City may also advertise on the local radio, publish especial publications, post billboards throughout the service area, hang door tags, or send mail notifications to all its customers. This WSCP includes a staged plan to outline and provide guidance for efficient communication of declaration of a shortage level, inform restrictions, and provide updates during a water shortage emergency shown in Table 8-5.

Table 8-5. Communication Protocol During Water Shortage Conditions LEVEL ACTION1

1 Information posted on the City’s website (https://www.cityofcamarillo.org/)

1 Increased paid advertising – print, online, radio, billboards, TV, streaming, social media, etc.

1 News conference or other event to announce/explain change in WSCP level or general water conservation tactics

1 Modify school assembly program content to include messages about need for increased voluntary conservation.

1 Information included in utility bill inserts or other mailings on a regular basis

1 Hanging door tags with information throughout service area

2 Targeted outreach and technical assistance to highest water users in each classification.

2 Engage Council members and provide them with resources to share with constituents.

3 Increased paid advertising – print, online, radio, TV, streaming, social media, movie theatres, buses, etc.

4 Assemble and promote the speaker’s bureau for water shortage presentations for neighborhood groups, gardening clubs, HOAs, churches, senior centers, neighborhood associations, business associations, community groups, property management companies, etc.

4 Increased coordination with the local landscaping industry including water shortage information in their newsletters, publications, and facilities: local wholesale and retail nurseries, and irrigation supply stores.



LEVEL ACTION1

5 Signage posted at nurseries and irrigation supply stores.

5 Outreach materials and drought notices mailed to the hospitality industry including restaurants and lodging.

1 If a water shortage progresses through multiple levels, all measures in the previous level(s) are implemented in addition to current level actions.

Compliance and Enforcement The penalties for violating the conservation measures listed in the City’s Water Conservation Ordinance are as follows (violations must be within a year of each other to count as a subsequent violation). • First Violation: written warning • Second Violation: fine not to exceed $100 • Third Violation: fine not to exceed $500 • Fourth and Subsequent Violations: fine not to exceed $1,000 and installation of a flow restriction

device

The City also includes termination of service as a penalty for willful violation of the Water Conservation Ordinance. The Water Conservation Ordinance includes an appeal process by which administrative review can be requested of a penalty. Once an administrative review has been completed, an appeal hearing can be requested. The decision of the appointed hearing officer will be final.

Legal Authorities The Water Conservation Ordinance provides existing authorization for water use restrictions and prohibitions and may be revised based on options identified in this WSCP to become effective upon resolution by the City Council. The Water Conservation Ordinance was adopted and approved in July 2016 by City Council. The Water Conservation Ordinance provides the City with the authority to declare a water shortage emergency and by CWC Sections 375-378 to adopt water conservation programs. Under State law, the City is authorized after declaration of a water shortage emergency to restrict the water uses and to prohibit the waste or use of the City’s water during such periods for any purpose other than domestic use, sanitation, fire protection, or such other uses as may be determined by the City Council. The City shall coordinate with Ventura County, within which it provides water supply services, for the possible proclamation of a local emergency, as defined in Section 8558 of the Government Code.

Financial Consequences of WSCP The majority of operating costs for most water agencies are fixed rather than a function of the amount of water sold. As a result, when significant conservation programs are undertaken, it is frequently necessary to raise water rates because the revenue generated is based on lower total consumption while the revenue required is essentially fixed. Additionally, costs to reduce excessive residential water use can increase. In order to counteract the financial impact of conservation, the City may institute an increase in the rate structure so that lower projected water consumption would generate added revenue needed by the City’s Water Enterprise fund. Another option would be the use of reserves to minimize



the need for additional rate increases. A full analysis of the water rates based on the financial conditions at the time water reduction would occur would be presented to the City Council for their approval. Some actions the City may choose to consider include temporarily increasing water rates or delaying capital improvements until the shortage has ended.

Monitoring and Reporting This section is in accordance with CWC 10632(a)(9) and describes the reporting requirements and monitoring procedures to implement the WSCP and track and evaluate the response actions effectives. As described in Section 8.2, the City intends to track its supplies and project demands on an annual basis, and if supply conditions described in Table 8-2 are projected, the City will enact their WSCP. Monitoring demands is essential to ensure the WSCP response actions are adequately meeting reductions and decreasing the supply/demand gap. This will help to analyze the effectiveness of the WSCP or identify the need to activate additional response actions. The water savings from implementation of the WSCP will be determined based on monthly production reports which will be compared to the supply from prior months, the same period of the prior year, and/ or the allocation. At first, the cumulative consumption for the various sectors (e.g., residential, commercial, etc.) will be evaluated for reaching the target demand reduction level. Then, if needed, individual accounts will be monitored. Weather and other possible influences may be accounted for in the evaluation.

WSCP Refinement Procedures This section is consistent with CWC 10632 (a)(10). The WSCP is best prepared and implemented as an adaptive management plan. The City will use results obtained from the monitoring and reporting program to evaluate any needs for revisions. The WSCP is used to provide guidance to the Council, staff, and the public by identifying response actions to allow for efficient management of any water shortage with predictability and accountability. To maintain a useful and efficient standard of practice in water shortage conditions, the requirements, criteria, and response actions need to be continually evaluated and improved upon to ensure that its shortage risk tolerance is adequate, and the shortage response actions are effective and up-to-date based on lessons learned from implementing the WSCP. Potential changes to the WSCP that would warrant an update include, but are not limited to, any changes to shortage level triggers, changes to the shortage level structure, and/or changes to the response actions. Any prospective changes to the WSCP would need to be presented at a public hearing, staff would obtain any comments, and City Council would adopt the updated WSCP. The steps to formally amend the WSCP are discussed in Section 8.12. Potential refinements will be documented and integrated in the next WSCP update. If new response actions are identified by staff or public, these could be advertised as voluntary actions until these are formally adopted as mandatory.

Special Water Feature Distinction CWC 10623 (b) now requires that suppliers analyze and define water features that are artificially supplied with water, including ponds, lakes, waterfalls, and fountains, separately from swimming pools



and spas, as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 115921 of the Health and Safety Code. Non-pool or non-spa water features may use or be able to use recycled water, whereas pools and spas must use potable water for health and safety considerations, so limitations to pools and spas may require different considerations compared to non-pool or non-spa water features. At all times, re-circulated water must be used to operate ornamental fountains or other decorative water features. At a Level 2 condition, there are Limits on Filling Ornamental Lakes or Ponds. Filling or refilling ornamental lakes or ponds is prohibited, except to the extent needed to sustain aquatic life, provided that such aquatic life is of significant value and have been actively managed within the water feature prior to declaration of the Level 2 water shortage. At a Level 4 condition, there are Limits on Filling Residential Swimming Pools and Spas. Refilling of more than one foot and initial filling of residential swimming pools or outdoor spas with potable water is prohibited.

Plan Adoption, Submittal, and Availability This section was completed pursuant to CWC 10632(a)(c). Because the WSCP is a standalone document that can be updated as needed, Table 8-6 describes the general steps to adopt and submit an updated or amended WSCP.

Demand Management Measures

This section describes the City’s efforts to promote water use efficiency, reduce demand on water supply, and prepare for future requirements.

This section describes the water conservation programs that the City has implemented for the past five years, is currently implementing, and plans to implement to continue meeting its SBX7-7 water use target and position the City for meeting future State mandated water use efficiency standards that are currently under development by DWR. The section of the CWC addressing DMMs was significantly modified in 2014, based on recommendations from the Independent Technical Panel (ITP) to the Legislature.

IN THIS SECTION

• Demand Management Measures

• Reporting Implementation

The ITP was formed by DWR to provide information and recommendations to DWR and the Legislature on new DMMs, technologies, and approaches to water use efficiency. The ITP recommended, and the legislature enacted, streamlining the requirements from the 14 specific measures reported on in the 2010 UWMP to six more general requirements plus an “other” category for measures agencies implemented in addition to the required elements. The required measures are summarized in Table 9-1. No changes to DMMs have been enacted since the 2015 UWMP.

Existing Demand Management Measures for Retail Consistent with the requirements of CWC, this section describes the DMMs from Table 9-1 that have been implemented in the past five years and will continue to be implemented into the future in order to continue meeting the City’s SBX7-7 water use target and position the City for meeting future State mandated water use efficiency standards that are currently under development by DWR.

9.1.1 Water Waste Prevention Ordinances According to the Guidebook, a water waste ordinance explicitly states the waste of water is to be prohibited. The ordinance may prohibit specific actions that waste water, such as excessive runoff from landscape irrigation, or use of a hose outdoors without a shut off nozzle.

1. Chapter 14.12 of the City’s Municipal Code lists the prohibited uses of water supplied by the City and defines water waste. The prohibited uses include Watering Hours and Duration. Except for testing an irrigation system for a reasonable period of time, watering is prohibited between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., and irrigation systems are limited to no more than 15 minutes of watering per day per station. These restrictions do not apply to the use of a hand-held bucket or similar container, a hand-held hose equipped with a positive self-closing water shut-off nozzle or device, an irrigation system that uses stream rotor sprinklers that meet a 70% efficiency standard, to very low-flow drip type irrigation systems where no emitter produces more than two gallons of water per hour, or to commercial nurseries and growers. In addition, irrigation for the purpose of installing and germinating new lawns or landscaping is exempt from these restrictions for a period not to exceed three weeks, unless the water conservation administrator gives written permission to a water user for an extension beyond three weeks due to a longer installation and germination period.

2. Excessive Water Flow or Runoff. Watering in a manner that results in overspray or excessive runoff onto paved or hardscaped areas is prohibited.

3. Washing Hard or Paved Surfaces. Washing of hard or paved surfaces, including sidewalks, walkways, driveways, parking areas, tennis courts, patios, or alleys, is prohibited except when necessary to alleviate safety or sanitary hazards or as surface preparation for the application of any architectural coating or painting. All such permitted washing must be done by use of a hand-held bucket or similar container, a hand-held hose equipped with a positive self-closing water shut-off



device, a low-volume, high-pressure cleaning machine, or a low-volume high-pressure water broom.

4. Obligation to Fix Leaks. Leaks in distribution, irrigation, or plumbing systems must be promptly corrected after discovery, and in no event more than 72 hours after receiving notice from the city.

5. Water Fountains and Decorative Water Features. Water fountains and decorative water features must have a water recirculation system.

6. Limits on Washing Vehicles. Washing any automobile, truck, van, bus, motorcycle, boat, or any other vehicle is restricted to the use of a hand-held bucket or similar container, or a hand-held hose equipped with a positive self-closing water shut-off nozzle or device. This provision does not apply to a commercial car washing facility.

7. Drinking Water Served Upon Request. Eating or drinking establishments, including restaurants, hotels, cafés, cafeterias, bars, or other public places where food or drinks are sold are prohibited from providing drinking water to any customer unless expressly requested.

8. Commercial Lodging Establishment Daily Linen Services. Hotels, motels, and other commercial lodging establishments must provide customers the option of not having towels and linen laundered daily. Commercial lodging establishments must prominently display notice of this option in each guest room.

9. Single Pass Cooling Systems. The installation of single pass cooling systems is prohibited in buildings requesting new water service.

10. Restaurants Required to Use Water Conserving Spray Valves. Food service establishments, such as restaurants and cafés, must utilize water conserving nozzles on pre-rinse spray valves.

11. Commercial Car Wash Facilities. Commercial car wash facilities may not use or permit the use of any water to wash any car, truck, boat, trailer, bus, recreation vehicle, camper, or any other vehicle, or any portion thereof, except by the following methods: − Use of mechanical automatic car wash facilities utilizing water recycling equipment; or − Use of a bucket and hand washing; or − Use of a hose equipped with an automatic positive self-closing valve that requires the person

using the hose to apply and maintain pressure at the outlet end of the hose to activate and maintain the flow of water.

12. Watering During or Immediately After Measurable Rainfall. The application of potable water to outdoor landscapes is prohibited during and within 48 hours after measurable rainfall. As used in this section, "measurable rainfall" means at least one-quarter inch of rain in the city within a 24-hour period as measured by the CIMIS Station #152 located in Camarillo (http://ipm.ucanr.edu/ calludt.cgi/WXDESCRIPTION?STN=CAMARILLO.A) or such other weather station as may subsequently be identified by the City and the information posted on the city's website.

13. Watering of Turf on Public Street Medians. The irrigation with potable water of ornamental turf on public and private street medians is prohibited.

14. Compliance with Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. The irrigation with potable water of landscapes outside of homes and buildings must be done in a manner consistent with the applicable regulations or other requirements established under the city's water efficient landscape ordinance as set forth in Chapter 14.14 of the Municipal Code.

15. New Potable Water Service Impact Study. Applicants for new potable water service for a significant new development project must cause to be prepared a water impact study to the satisfaction of the public works director demonstrating the project's total water demand at build out.

16. Water Demand Offset Requirement. In order for an application for new potable water service to be approved and a will-serve letter issued for a significant new development project, the applicant must demonstrate that the proposed project will not create additional demand on the city's water

https://library.municode.com/ca/camarillo/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=TIT14WASE_CH14.14WAEFLA



system. To satisfy this requirement an applicant for a significant new development project must provide, to the satisfaction of the city and in accordance with the city's water demand offset program or water demand credit program, as applicable, substantial evidence of an enforceable commitment that the water demand for the project will be offset prior to the provision of a potable water will-serve letter. The applicant may satisfy this requirement through any one or a combination of the following methods: (i) modifications to the project to provide non-required water savings features, (ii) agreements with existing city water users to retrofit existing improvements and facilities with water savings features in accordance with the city's water demand offset program, (iii) by transferring groundwater pumping rights or allocations that comply with GSP strategies adopted by the Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency and are immediately available for use by the city; or (iv) by credit for historic water use by a municipal or industrial customer served water prior January 1, 2014.

In the last five years, the City has received 187 water waste complaints and issued 218 1st violation and 34 2nd violation citations. No 3rd violation citations were issued in this period.

9.1.2 Metering According to the Guidebook, an agency that is fully metered must state that fact in the UWMP. If an agency is not yet full metered, it will discuss its plans for becoming fully metered in accordance with CWC 527.

All water connections served by the City are currently metered.

9.1.3 Conservation Pricing According to the Guidebook, retail water agencies need to describe the pricing structure that is used by the water agency. Conservation pricing is designed to discourage wasteful water habits and encourage conservation. The City applies a four-tiered rate structure to residential customer classes, which account for almost 90% of the customer base. Rates based on volume of use encourage water conservation by customers. The City applies a uniform rate structure to the remaining customer classes: commercial, industrial, government, landscape, recycled water, construction, and agricultural. Table 9-2 shows the tiered consumption rates for a residential meter with a unit defined as 100 cubic feet (HCF) (748 gallons). Table 9-3 shows the water rates for the other customer classes, while Table 9-4 shows the base fees per month based on the size of the meter. Table 9-2. Residential Conservation Pricing Rate Structure

9.1.4 Public Education and Outreach This program consists of distributing information to the public through a variety of methods including brochures, radio, television, school presentations and videos, and websites. The City maintains a newsletter which is distributed regularly and often touches on water issues. The City has also distributed water information in its monthly bills, at special events, and on its homepage. Water saving tips can also be found on the City’s website. In the last five years, the City participated in three such events to promote water conservation and stormwater quality and had over 70,000 visits to its gardening webpage. The City has also distributed close to 8,000 door tags to customers. As part of the City’s public outreach program, the City maintains a 20-Gallon Challenge document on its website for any member of the community who wishes to learn how to potentially save up to 20 gallons of water per person per day. The Challenge outlines ways to conserve water and estimates the volume of water saved per action.



9.1.5 Programs to Assess and Manage Distribution System Real Losses A water audit is a process of accounting for water use throughout a water system in order to quantify unmetered water usage. Non‐revenue water is the difference between metered production and metered usage on a system‐wide basis. Public water system statistics records from 2016–2020 show average non‐revenue water of approximately 2.4% of the City’s water production. This is relatively low compared to the typical range of 5 to 10% experienced by most agencies in Southern California. For this reason, the City does not provide a comprehensive system leak detection program. The City is conscientious about locating and repairing main and service connection leaks when they occur. The Water Conservation Program provides assistance in locating leaks on private property and City Municipal Code Chapter 14.12 prohibits leak durations of more than 72 hours. In the last five years, the City has sent out 20 repair leak notices and conducted 558 high water consumption/leak inspections. Additionally, the City completed the AWWA Water Audit spreadsheet for the fiscal year 2020 and will continue to update the spreadsheet on an annual basis.

9.1.6 Water Conservation Program Coordination and Staffing Support The City employs one full time Water Conservation Technician and a Water Conservation Coordinator. These conservation staff budget for an annual Water Conservation Program.

9.1.7 Other Demand Management Measures The City is committed to implementing cost effective programs that will increase water efficiency City‐ wide. Though not required, the City has implemented the following DMMs during the past five years and will continue implementing them into the future to increase the overall water efficiency of the City’s customers. The following is a brief description of each program.

9.1.7.1 Water Survey Program This program consists of offering water audits to single family and multi‐family residential customers. Audits include reviewing water usage history with the customer, identifying leaks inside and outside the home, and recommending improvements. Upon request, City personnel will perform on‐site inspection of residences and businesses for potential internal leaks. Leak detection kits are available and are provided to residents free of charge, upon request. As an incentive to complete the audit, the City provides free low‐flow showerheads and kitchen/bathroom shut‐off nozzles. In the last five years, the City has also conducted 301 and 10 home and business water surveys, respectively, to help customers improve their water use efficiency. The City also provides exterior audits for residence with landscape irrigation systems. Between 2018 and 2020, the City has installed approximately 4,800 shut-off nozzles and 4,400 ft of drip irrigation.

9.1.7.2 Water Retrofit Program This program consists of installing physical devices to reduce the amount of water used or to limit the amount of water that can be served to the customer. In accordance with State law, low‐flow fixtures have been required on all new construction since 1978. In addition, State legislation enacted in 1990 requires all new buildings after January 1, 1992, to install Ultra‐Low‐Flush Toilets. Several studies suggest that water use savings resulting from miscellaneous interior retrofit fixtures can range between 25 and 65 gallons per day per housing unit. The studies also suggest that installation of retrofit fixtures in older single‐family homes tend to produce more savings, while newer multi‐family



homes tend to produce fewer saving per housing unit. From 2017 to 2019 the City installed 1,002 residential toilet retrofits and 801 commercial toilet retrofits. The City also provided 1,227 low-flow showerheads and 1,899 aerators. These programs were terminated in November of 2019. The City now offers rebates for replacing toilets, clothes washers, urinals, and air-cooled ice machines through WaterWise Consulting. The rebates range from $250 to $1,250. Details can be found on https://www.waterwise-consulting.com/camarillo. Additionally, from 2016–2020, the City provided 299 irrigation controllers to customers.

9.1.7.3 School Education Program This DMM includes providing educational materials and instructional assistance to school classes. Brochures are distributed on various water issues, and the City participates in MWDSC programs to promote student Water Awareness. A number of teachers have included water conservation classes as part of their curriculum.

9.1.7.4 Conservation Programs for Commercial, Industrial, Institutional Accounts The City targets commercial, industrial, and institutional water accounts with a monthly consumption of 200 HCF or more for water audits. Such programs typically involve turf fields, smart irrigation timers, and industrial process water use reductions.

9.1.7.5 Landscaping Programs The City is committed to encouraging water savings among its customers. As such, the City offers free outdoor surveys of customers’ landscape and irrigation systems to check for leaks and see if customers qualify for water-saving devices through the Camarillo’s Landscape Efficiency Audit Retrofit Program. These devices can potentially save customers’ water usage by up to 50%. If customers wish to take advantage of the offered devices, they may pay a one-time fee of $100 per qualified site to receive the following devices and services: Wi-Fi smart irrigation controllers, high-efficiency sprinkler nozzles, and the installation of drip irrigation. Additionally, the City actively encourages customers to use drought tolerant landscaping. The City provides a brochure of recommended drought tolerant and water efficient flora at City Hall and on the City’s website. The brochure includes images of the plants as well as generalized light and water use information. The City participates in the turf replacement program, funded through SoCal Water$mart, which offers a $2 or more per square foot rebate for up to 5,000 square feet of lawn replaced with California Friendly® plants. Details can be found on the bewaterwise.com. A link to the website can be found on the Water Conservation page of the City’s website as well.

Reporting Implementation

9.2.1 Implementation Over the Past Five Years Table 9-5 summarizes the DMM implementation over the past five years. As discussed in Section 5, the City has met its 2020 water use target. However, the City will be diligent in continuing use of the above described DMMs to continue conservation.

9.2.2 Implementation to Achieve Water Use Targets For decades, the City has valued and promoted conservation and will continue to do so. As a result, the City water use is well below target objectives set by the State. Despite meeting the targets, the City will continue to implement existing conservation programs and explore additional programs to avoid substantial increases in demands.

Water Use Objectives (Future Requirements) As mentioned in the previous section, the City’s customers are efficient and have reduced their GPCD consumption to less than the State target. The City continues to promote conservation and will evaluate additional measures if and when future requirements are established.

Quantifying Regional Self-Reliance and Reduced Reliance on Water Supplies from the Delta 1. BackgroundUnder the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Delta) Reform Act of 2009, state and local public agencies proposing a covered action in the Delta, prior to initiating the implementation of that action, must prepare a written certification of consistency with detailed findings as to whether the covered action is consistent with applicable Delta Plan policies and submit that certification to the Delta Stewardship Council. Anyone may appeal a certification of consistency, and if the Delta Stewardship Council grants the appeal, the covered action may not be implemented until the agency proposing the covered action submits a revised certification of consistency, and either no appeal is filed, or the Delta Stewardship Council denies the subsequent appeal.An urban water supplier that anticipates participating in or receiving water from a proposed covered action such as a multi-year water transfer, conveyance facility, or new diversion that involves transferring water through, exporting water from, or using water in the Delta should provide information in their 2015 and 2020 Urban Water Management Plans (UWMPs) that can then be used in the covered action process to demonstrate consistency with Delta Plan Policy WR P1, Reduce Reliance on the Delta Through Improved Regional Water Self-Reliance (WR P1).WR P1 details what is needed for a covered action to demonstrate consistency with reduced reliance on the Delta and improved regional self-reliance. WR P1 subsection (a) states that:

(a) Water shall not be exported from, transferred through, or used in the Delta if all the following apply:

(1) One or more water suppliers that would receive water as a result of the export, transfer, or use have failed to adequately contribute to reduced reliance on the Delta and improved regional self-reliance consistent with all of the requirements listed in paragraph (1) of subsection (c);

(2) That failure has significantly caused the need for the export, transfer, or use; and

(3) The export, transfer, or use would have a significant adverse environmental impact in the Delta.

WR P1 subsection (c)(1) further defines what adequately contributing to reduced reliance on the Delta means in terms of (a)(1) above.

(c)(1) Water suppliers that have done all the following are contributing to reduced reliance on the Delta and improved regional self-reliance and are therefore consistent with this policy:

(A) Completed a current Urban or Agricultural Water Management Plan (Plan) which has been reviewed by the California Department of Water Resources for compliance with the applicable requirements of Water Code Division 6, Parts 2.55, 2.6, and 2.8;

(B) Identified, evaluated, and commenced implementation, consistent with the implementation schedule set forth in the Plan, of all programs and projects included in the Plan that are locally cost effective and technically feasible which reduce reliance on the Delta; and

(C) Included in the Plan, commencing in 2015, the expected outcome for measurable reduction in Delta reliance and improvement in regional self-reliance. The expected


3

outcome for measurable reduction in Delta reliance and improvement in regional self- reliance shall be reported in the Plan as the reduction in the amount of water used, or in the percentage of water used, from the Delta watershed. For the purposes of reporting, water efficiency is considered a new source of water supply, consistent with Water Code section 1011(a).

The analysis and documentation provided below include all the elements described in WR P1(c)(1) that need to be included in a water supplier’s UWMP to support a certification of consistency for a future covered action.

2. Demonstration of Regional Self-RelianceThe methodology used to determine the City of Camarillo’s (City) improved regional self-reliance is consistent with the approach detailed in DWR’s UWMP Guidebook Appendix C (Guidebook Appendix C), including the use of narrative justifications for the accounting of supplies and the documentation of specific data sources. Some of the key assumptions underlying the City’s demonstration of reduced reliance include:

All data were obtained from the current 2020 UWMP or previously adopted UWMPs and represent average or normal water year conditions.

All analyses were conducted at the service area level, and all data reflect the total contributions of the City and its customers.

Baseline and Expected OutcomesTo calculate the expected outcomes for measurable reduction in Delta reliance and improved regional self-reliance, a baseline is needed to compare against. This analysis uses a normal water year representation of 2010 as the baseline, which is consistent with the approach described in the Guidebook Appendix C. Data for the 2010 baseline were taken from the City’s 2005 UWMP as UWMPs generally do not provide normal water year data for the year that they are adopted (i.e., 2005 UWMP forecasts begin in 2010, 2010 UWMP forecasts begin in 2015, and so on).Consistent with the 2010 baseline data approach, the expected outcomes for reduced Delta reliance and improved regional self-reliance for 2015 and 2020 were taken from the City’s 2010 and 2015 UWMPs, respectively. Expected outcomes for 2025–2045 are from the current 2020 UWMP. Documentation of the specific data sources and assumptions are included in the discussions below.

Service Area Demands without Water Use EfficiencyIn alignment with the Guidebook Appendix C, this analysis uses normal water year demands, rather than normal water year supplies to calculate expected outcomes in terms of the percentage of water used. Normal water year demands serve as a proxy for the amount of supplies that would be used in a normal water year, which helps alleviate issues associated with how supply capability is presented to fulfill requirements of the UWMP Act versus how supplies might be accounted for to demonstrate consistency with WR P1.Because WR P1 considers water use efficiency savings a source of water supply, water suppliers can calculate their embedded water use efficiency savings based on changes in forecasted per capita water use since the baseline. As explained in the Guidebook Appendix C, water use efficiency savings must be added back to the normal year demands to represent demands without water use efficiency savings accounted for; otherwise, the effect of water use efficiency savings on regional self-reliance would be overestimated. Table C-1 shows the results of this adjustment for the City. Supporting narratives and documentation for all the data shown in Table C-1 are provided below.

Service Area Demands with Water Use EfficiencyThe service area demands shown in Table C-1 represent the total water demands for the City’s service area. The demand data shown in Table C-1 were collected from the following sources:


4

Baseline (2010): City’s 2005 UWMP, Table 5.3-2 2015: City’s 2010 UWMP, Table 5.2 2020: City’s 2015 UWMP, Table 5-8 2025-2045: City’s 2020 UWMP, Table 4-3

Non-Potable Water DemandsThe City provides recycled water to its customers. These values are included in Table C-3.

Potable Service Area Demands with Water Use EfficiencyThe “Potable Service Area Demands with Water Use Efficiency” was calculated by subtracting the “Non-Potable Water Demands” from “Service Area Demands with Water Use Efficiency.”

Service Area PopulationThe population data shown in Table C-1 were collected from the following sources:

Baseline (2010): City’s 2010 UWMP, Figure 2.2 2015: City’s 2015 UWMP, Table 3-4 2020-2045: City’s 2020 UWMP, Table 3-2

Estimated Water Use Efficiency Since BaselineThe “Estimated Water Use Efficiency Since Baseline” was calculated by dividing the “Potable Service Area Demands with Water Use Efficiency” by the “Service Area Population” and then comparing with the 2010 Per Capita Water Use.

Service Area Water Demands without Water Use EfficiencyIn Table C-2, the “Service Area Demands with Water Use Efficiency” was added to the “Estimated Water Use Efficiency Since Baseline” to obtain the “Service Area Water Demands without Water Use Efficiency Accounted For.”

Supplies Contributing to Regional Self-RelianceFor a covered action to demonstrate consistency with the Delta Plan, WR P1 subsection (c)(1)(C) states that water suppliers must report the expected outcomes for measurable improvement in regional self-reliance. Table C-3 shows expected outcomes for supplies contributing to regional self-reliance both in the amount and as a percentage. The numbers shown in Table C-3 represent efforts to improve regional self-reliance for the City’s service area and include the total contributions of the City and its customers. Supporting narratives and documentation for all the data shown in Table C-3 are provided below.

Water Use EfficiencyThe water use efficiency information shown in Table C-3 is taken directly from Table C-2. The City has reduced the amount of water used to meet customer demands and continues to promote water conservation and limit water waste.

Water RecyclingThe City currently provides recycled water for irrigation use throughout the service areas. The values shown for water recycling reflect only what is recycled within the City’s water service area.

Advanced Water TechnologiesThe City has invested in considerable resources into planning for a Desalter facility to treat high total dissolved solids content within the City’s groundwater supply. The North Pleasant Valley Desalter Facility is currently in the final phases of construction and expected to be complete in late 2021.

3. Reliance on Water Supplies from the Delta WatershedMetropolitan Water District of Southern California’s (MWDSC’s) service area, as a whole, reduces reliance on the Delta through investments in non-Delta water supplies, local water supplies, and regional and local demand management measures. MWDSC’s member agencies coordinate reliance on the Delta through their membership in MWDSC, a regional cooperative providing wholesale water service to its 26 member agencies, which includes Calleguas Municipal Water District (CMWD), and therefore the City. Accordingly, regional reliance on the Delta can only be measured regionally — not by individual MWDSC member agencies and not by the customers of those member agencies.MWDSC’s member agencies, and those agencies’ customers, indirectly reduce reliance on the Delta through their collective efforts as a cooperative. MWDSC’s member agencies do not control the amount of Delta water they receive from MWDSC. MWDSC manages a statewide integrated conveyance system consisting of its participation in the State Water Project (SWP), its Colorado River Aqueduct (CRA) including Colorado River water resources, programs and water exchanges, and its regional storage portfolio. Along with the SWP, CRA, storage programs, and MWDSC’s conveyance and distribution facilities, demand management programs increase the future reliability of water resources for the region. In addition, demand management programs provide system-wide benefits by decreasing the demand for imported water, which helps to decrease the burden on the district’s infrastructure and reduce system costs, and free up conveyance capacity to the benefit of all member agencies.MWDSC’s costs are funded almost entirely from its service area, except for grants and other assistance from government programs. Most of MWDSC’s revenues are collected directly from its member agencies. Properties within MWDSC’s service area pay a property tax that currently provides approximately 8 percent (%) of the fiscal year 2021 annual budgeted revenues. The rest of MWDSC’s costs are funded through rates and charges paid by MWDSC’s member agencies for the wholesale services it provides to them. Thus, MWDSC’s member agencies fund nearly all operations MWDSC undertakes to reduce reliance on the Delta, including Colorado River Programs, storage facilities, Local Resources Programs and Conservation Programs within MWDSC’s service area. Because of the integrated nature of MWDSC’s systems and operations, and the collective nature of MWDSC’s regional efforts, it is infeasible to quantify each of MWDSC member agency’s and their subsequent customers’ individual reliance on the Delta. It is infeasible to attempt to segregate an entity and a system that were designed to work as an integrated regional cooperative.In addition to the member agencies funding MWDSC’s regional efforts, they also invest in their own local programs to reduce their reliance on any imported water. Moreover, the City and other customers of those member agencies may also invest in their own local programs to reduce water demand. However, to the extent those efforts result in reduction of demands on MWDSC, that reduction does not equate to a like reduction of reliance on the Delta. Demands on MWDSC are not commensurate with demands on the Delta because most of MWDSC member agencies receive blended resources from MWDSC as determined by MWDSC — not the individual member agency — and for most member agencies, the blend varies from month-to-month and year-to-year due to hydrology, operational constraints, use of storage and other factors.

Colorado River ProgramsAs a regional cooperative of member agencies, Metropolitan invests in programs to ensure the continued reliability and sustainability of Colorado River supplies. Metropolitan was established to obtain an allotment of Colorado River water, and its first mission was to construct and operate the CRA. The CRA consists of five pumping plants, 450 miles of high voltage power lines, one electric substation, four regulating reservoirs, and 242 miles of aqueducts, siphons, canals, conduits and pipelines terminating at Lake Mathews in Riverside County. Metropolitan owns, operates, and manages the CRA. Metropolitan is responsible for operating, maintaining, rehabilitating, and repairing the CRA, and is


6

responsible for obtaining and scheduling energy resources adequate to power pumps at the CRA’s five pumping stations.Colorado River supplies include Metropolitan’s basic Colorado River apportionment, along with supplies that result from existing and committed programs, including supplies from the Imperial Irrigation District (IID)-Metropolitan Conservation Program, the implementation of the Quantification Settlement Agreement (QSA) and related agreements, and the exchange agreement with San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA). The QSA established the baseline water use for each of the agreement parties and facilitates the transfer of water from agricultural agencies to urban uses. Since the QSA, additional programs have been implemented to increase MWDSC’s CRA supplies. These include the PVID Land Management, Crop Rotation, and Water Supply Program, as well as the Lower Colorado River Water Supply Project. The 2007 Interim Guidelines provided for the coordinated operation of Lake Powell and Lake Mead, as well as the Intentionally Created Surplus program that allows MWDSC to store water in Lake Mead.

Storage Investments/FacilitiesSurface and groundwater storage are critical elements of Southern California’s water resources strategy and help MWDSC reduce its reliance on the Delta. Because California experiences dramatic swings in weather and hydrology, storage is important to regulate those swings and mitigate possible supply shortages. Surface and groundwater storage provide a means of storing water during normal and wet years for later use during dry years, when imported supplies are limited. The MWDSC system, for purposes of meeting demands during times of shortage, regulating system flows, and ensuring system reliability in the event of a system outage, provides over 1,000,000 acre-feet (AF) of system storage capacity. Diamond Valley Lake provides 810,000 AF of that storage capacity, effectively doubling Southern California’s previous surface water storage capacity. Other existing imported water storage available to the region consists of MWDSC’s raw water reservoirs, a share of the SWP’s raw water reservoirs in and near the service area, and the portion of the groundwater basins used for conjunctive‐use storage. Since the early twentieth century, DWR and MWDSC have constructed surface water reservoirs to meet emergency, drought/seasonal, and regulatory water needs for Southern California. These reservoirs include Pyramid Lake, Castaic Lake, Elderberry Forebay, Silverwood Lake, Lake Perris, Lake Skinner, Lake Mathews, Live Oak Reservoir, Garvey Reservoir, Palos Verdes Reservoir, Orange County Reservoir, and MWDSC’s Diamond Valley Lake. Some reservoirs such as Live Oak Reservoir, Garvey Reservoir, Palos Verdes Reservoir, and Orange County Reservoir, which have a total combined capacity of about 3,500 AF, are used solely for regulating purposes. The total gross storage capacity for the larger remaining reservoirs is 1,757,600 AF. However, not all of the gross storage capacity is available to MWDSC; dead storage and storage allocated to others reduce the amount of storage that is available to MWDSC to 1,665,200 AF.Conjunctive use of the aquifers offers another important source of dry year supplies. Unused storage in Southern California groundwater basins can be used to optimize imported water supplies, and the development of groundwater storage projects allows effective management and regulation of the region’s major imported supplies from the Colorado River and SWP. Over the years, MWDSC has implemented conjunctive use through various programs in the service area; the following table lists the groundwater conjunctive use programs that have been developed in the region.

MWDSC Demand Management ProgramsDemand management costs are MWDSC’s expenditures for funding local water resource development programs and water conservation programs. These Demand Management Programs incentivize the development of local water supplies and the conservation of water to reduce the need to import water to deliver to MWDSC’s member agencies. These programs are implemented below the delivery points between MWDSC’s and its member agencies’ distribution systems and, as such, do not add any water to MWDSC’s supplies. Rather, the effect of these downstream programs is to produce a local supply of water for the local agencies and to reduce demands by member agencies for water imported through MWDSC’s system. The following discussions outline how MWDSC funds local resources and conservation programs for the benefit of all of its member agencies and the entire MWDSC service area. Notably, the history of demand management by MWDSC’s member agencies and the local agencies that purchase water from MWDSC’s members has spanned more than four decades. The significant history of the programs is another reason it would be difficult to attempt to assign a portion of such funding to any one individual member agency.

Local Resources ProgramsIn 1982, MWDSC began providing financial incentives to its member agencies to develop new local supplies to assist in meeting the region’s water needs. Because of MWDSC’s regional distribution system, these programs benefit all member agencies regardless of project location because they help


8

to increase regional water supply reliability, reduce demands for imported water supplies, decrease the burden on MWDSC’s infrastructure, reduce system costs and free up conveyance capacity to the benefit of all the agencies that rely on water from MWDSC. For example, the Groundwater Replenishment System (GWRS) operated by the Orange County Water District is the world’s largest water purification system for indirect potable reuse. It was funded, in part, by MWDSC’s member agencies through the Local Resources Program. Annually, the GWRS produces approximately 103,000 AF of reliable, locally controlled, drought-proof supply of high-quality water to recharge the Orange County Groundwater Basin and protect it from seawater intrusion. The GWRS is a premier example of a regional project that significantly reduced the need to utilize imported water for groundwater replenishment in MWDSC’s service area, increasing regional and local supply reliability and reducing the region’s reliance on imported supplies, including supplies from the State Water Project.MWDSC’s local resource programs have evolved through the years to better assist MWDSC’s member agencies in increasing local supply production. The following is a description and history of the local supply incentive programs.

Local Projects ProgramIn 1982, MWDSC initiated the Local Projects Program (LPP), which provided funding to member agencies to facilitate the development of recycled water projects. Under this approach, MWDSC contributed a negotiated up-front funding amount to help finance project capital costs. Participating member agencies were obligated to reimburse MWDSC over time. In 1986, the LPP was revised, changing the up-front funding approach to an incentive-based approach. MWDSC contributed an amount equal to the avoided State Water Project pumping costs for each acre-foot of recycled water delivered to end-use consumers. This funding incentive was based on the premise that local projects resulted in the reduction of water imported from the Delta and the associated pumping cost. The incentive amount varied from year to year depending on the actual variable power cost paid for State Water Project imports. In 1990, MWDSC’s Board increased the LPP contribution to a fixed rate of $154 per acre-foot, which was calculated based on MWDSC’s avoided capital and operational costs to convey, treat, and distribute water, and included considerations of reliability and service area demands.

Groundwater Recovery ProgramThe drought of the early 1990s sparked the need to develop additional local water resources, aside from recycled water, to meet regional demand and increase regional water supply reliability. In 1991, MWDSC conducted the Brackish Groundwater Reclamation Study which determined that large amounts of degraded groundwater in the region were not being utilized. Subsequently, the Groundwater Recovery Program (GRP) was established to assist the recovery of otherwise unusable groundwater degraded by minerals and other contaminants, provide access to the storage assets of the degraded groundwater, and maintain the quality of groundwater resources by reducing the spread of degraded plumes.

Local Resources ProgramIn 1995, MWDSC’s Board adopted the Local Resources Program (LRP), which combined the LPP and GRP into one program. The Board allowed for existing LPP agreements with a fixed incentive rate to convert to the sliding scale up to $250 per acre-foot, similar to GRP incentive terms. Those agreements that were converted to LRP are known as “LRP Conversions.”

Competitive Local Projects ProgramIn 1998, the Competitive Local Resources Program (Competitive Program) was established. The Competitive Program encouraged the development of recycled water and recovered groundwater through a process that emphasized cost-efficiency to MWDSC, timing new production according to regional need while minimizing program administration cost. Under the Competitive Program, agencies

requested an incentive rate up to $250 per acre-foot of production over 25 years under a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the development of up to 53,000 acre-feet per year (AFY) of new water recycling and groundwater recovery projects. In 2003, a second RFP was issued for the development of an additional 65,000 AF of new recycled water and recovered groundwater projects through the LRP.

Seawater Desalination ProgramMWDSC established the Seawater Desalination Program (SDP) in 2001 to provide financial incentives to member agencies for the development of seawater desalination projects. In 2014, seawater desalination projects became eligible for funding under the LRP, and the SDP was ended.

2007 Local Resources ProgramIn 2006, a task force comprised of member agency representatives was formed to identify and recommend program improvements to the LRP. As a result of the task force process, the 2007 LRP was established with a goal of 174,000 AFY of additional local water resource development. The new program allowed for an open application process and eliminated the previous competitive process. This program offered sliding scale incentives of up to $250 per acre-foot, calculated annually based on a member agency’s actual local resource project costs exceeding MWDSC’s prevailing water rate.

2014 Local Resources ProgramA series of workgroup meetings with member agencies was held to identify the reasons why there was a lack of new LRP applications coming into the program. The main constraint identified by the member agencies was that the $250 per acre-foot was not providing enough of an incentive for developing new projects due to higher construction costs to meet water quality requirements and to develop the infrastructure to reach end-use consumers located further from treatment plants. As a result, in 2014, the Board authorized an increase in the maximum incentive amount, provided alternative payment structures, included onsite retrofit costs and reimbursable services as part of the LRP, and added eligibility for seawater desalination projects. The current LRP incentive payment options are structured as follows:

Option 1 – Sliding scale incentive up to $340/AF for a 25-year agreement term Option 2 – Sliding scale incentive up to $475/AF for a 15-year agreement term Option 3 – Fixed incentive up to $305/AF for a 25-year agreement term

On-site Retrofit ProgramsIn 2014, MWDSC’s Board also approved the On-site Retrofit Pilot Program which provided financial incentives to public or private entities toward the cost of small-scale improvements to their existing irrigation and industrial systems to allow connection to existing recycled water pipelines. The On-site Retrofit Pilot Program helped reduce recycled water retrofit costs to the end-use consumer which is a key constraint that limited recycled water LRP projects from reaching full production capacity. The program incentive was equal to the actual eligible costs of the on-site retrofit, or $975 per acre-foot of up-front cost, which equates to $195 per acre-foot for an estimated five years of water savings ($195/AF x 5 years) multiplied by the average annual water use in previous three years, whichever is less. The Pilot Program lasted two years and was successful in meeting its goal of accelerating the use of recycled water. In 2016, MWDSC’s Board authorized the On-site Retrofit Program (ORP), with an additional budget of $10 million. This program encompassed lessons learned from the Pilot Program and feedback from member agencies to make the program more streamlined and improve its efficiency. As of fiscal year 2019/20, the ORP has successfully converted 440 sites, increasing the use of recycled water by 12,691 AFY.

Stormwater Pilot ProgramsIn 2019, MWDSC’s Board authorized both the Stormwater for Direct Use Pilot Program and a Stormwater for Recharge Pilot Program to study the feasibility of reusing stormwater to help meet regional demands in Southern California. These pilot programs are intended to encourage the development, monitoring, and study of new and existing stormwater projects by providing financial incentives for their construction/retrofit and monitoring/reporting costs. These pilot programs will help evaluate the potential benefits delivered by stormwater capture projects and provide a basis for potential future funding approaches. MWDSC’s Board authorized a total of $12.5 million for the stormwater pilot programs ($5 million for the District Use Pilot and $7.5 million for the Recharge Pilot).

Current Status and Results of MWDSC’s Local Resource ProgramsToday, nearly one-half of the total recycled water and groundwater recovery production in the region has been developed with an incentive from one or more of MWDSC’s local resource programs. During fiscal year 2020, MWDSC provided about $13 million for production of 71,000 AF of recycled water for non-potable and indirect potable uses. MWDSC provided about $4 million to support projects that produced about 50,000 AF of recovered groundwater for municipal use. Since 1982, MWDSC has invested $680 million to fund 85 recycled water projects and 27 groundwater recovery projects that have produced a cumulative total of about 4 million AF.

Conservation Programs MWDSC’s regional conservation programs and approaches have a long history. Decades ago, MWDSC recognized that demand management at the consumer level would be an important part of balancing regional supplies and demands. Water conservation efforts were seen as a way to reduce the need for imported supplies and offset the need to transport or store additional water into or within the MWDSC service area. The actual conservation of water takes place at the retail consumer level. Regional conservation approaches have proven to be effective at reaching retail consumers throughout MWDSC’s service area and successfully implementing water saving devices, programs and practices. Through the pooling of funding by MWDSC’s member agencies, MWDSC is able to engage in regional campaigns with wide-reaching impact. Regional investments in demand management programs, of which conservation is a key part along with local supply programs, benefit all member agencies regardless of project location. These programs help to increase regional water supply reliability, reduce demands for imported water supplies, decrease the burden on MWDSC’s infrastructure, reduce system costs, and free up conveyance capacity to the benefit of all member agencies.

Incentive-Based Conservation ProgramsConservation Credits ProgramIn 1988, MWDSC’s Board approved the Water Conservation Credits Program (Credits Program). The Credits Program is similar in concept to the Local Projects Program (LPP). The purpose of the Credits Program is to encourage local water agencies to implement effective water conservation projects through the use of financial incentives. The Credits Program provides financial assistance for water conservation projects that reduce demands on MWDSC’s imported water supplies and require MWDSC’s assistance to be financially feasible.Initially, the Credits Program provided 50% of a member agency’s program cost, up to a maximum of $75 per acre-foot of estimated water savings. The $75 Base Conservation Rate was established based MWDSC’s avoided cost of pumping SWP supplies. The Base Conservation Rate has been revisited by MWDSC’s Board and revised twice since 1988, from $75 to $154 per acre-foot in 1990 and from $154 to $195 per acre-foot in 2005.In fiscal year 2020 MWDSC processed more than 30,400 rebate applications totaling $18.9 million.

Member Agency Administered ProgramSome member agencies also have unique programs within their service areas that provide local rebates that may differ from MWDSC’s regional program. MWDSC continues to support these local efforts through a member agency administered funding program that adheres to the same funding guidelines as the Credits Program. The Member Agency Administered Program allows member agencies to receive funding for local conservation efforts that supplement, but do not duplicate, the rebates offered through MWDSC’s regional rebate program.

Water Savings Incentive ProgramThere are numerous commercial entities and industries within MWDSC’s service area that pursue unique savings opportunities that do not fall within the general rebate programs that MWDSC provides. In 2012, MWDSC designed the Water Savings Incentive Program to target these unique commercial and industrial projects. In addition to rebates for devices, under this program, MWDSC provides financial incentives to businesses and industries that created their own custom water efficiency projects. Qualifying custom projects can receive funding for permanent water efficiency changes that result in reduced potable demand.

Non-Incentive Conservation ProgramsIn addition to its incentive-based conservation programs, MWDSC also undertakes additional efforts throughout its service area that help achieve water savings without the use of rebates. MWDSC’s non-incentive conservation efforts include:

Residential and professional water efficient landscape training classes Water audits for large landscapes Research, development and studies of new water saving technologies Advertising and outreach campaigns Community outreach and education programs Advocacy for legislation, codes, and standards that lead to increased water savings

Current Status and Results of MWDSC’s Conservation ProgramsSince 1990, MWDSC has invested $824 million in conservation rebates that have resulted in a cumulative savings of 3.27 million AF of water. These investments include $450 million in turf removal and other rebates during the last drought which resulted in 175 million square feet of lawn turf removed. During fiscal year 2020, 1.06 million AF of water is estimated to have been conserved. This annual total includes MWDSC’s Conservation Credits Program; code-based conservation achieved through MWDSC-sponsored legislation; building plumbing codes and ordinances; reduced consumption resulting from changes in water pricing; and pre-1990 device retrofits.

Infeasibility of Accounting Regional Investments in Reduced Reliance Below the Regional LevelThe accounting of regional investments that contribute to reduced reliance on supplies from the Delta watershed is straightforward to calculate and report at the regional aggregate level. However, any similar accounting is infeasible for the individual member agencies or their customers. As described above, the region (through MWDSC) makes significant investments in projects, programs and other resources that reduce reliance on the Delta. In fact, all of MWDSC’s investments in Colorado River supplies, groundwater and surface storage, local resources development and demand management measures that reduce reliance on the Delta are collectively funded by revenues generated from the member agencies through rates and charges. MWDSC’s revenues cannot be matched to the demands or supply production history of an individual agency, or consistently across the agencies within the service area. Each project or program funded by the region has a different online date, useful life, incentive rate and structure, and production schedule.


12

It is infeasible to account for all these things over the life of each project or program and provide a nexus to each member agency’s contributions to MWDSC’s revenue stream over time. Accounting at the regional level allows for the incorporation of the local supplies and water use efficiency programs done by member agencies and their customers through both the regional programs and through their own specific local programs. As shown above, despite the infeasibility of accounting reduced Delta reliance below the regional level, MWDSC’s member agencies and their customers have together made substantial contributions to the region’s reduced reliance.

4. Programs Implemented by MWDSC to Reduce Delta RelianceAs mentioned above, MWDSC, CMWD, the City, and other local agencies invest in local sources to reduce reliance on the Delta. However, the City purchases imported water from CMWD while CMWD wholesales water from MWDSC. Because of the intricacies in these large systems and the blend of supplies, CMWD has summarized the various programs MWDSC has invested in to decrease reliance on the Delta. Details are provided in Appendix L of CMWD’s 2020 UWMP. Since it is not feasible to separate out individual member agency’s or their customer’s reduced reliance on the Delta, MWDSC has completed the analysis to demonstrate a regional wide reduction which is shown in Table C-4.

5. Summary of Expected Outcomes for Reduced Reliance on the DeltaAs stated in WR P1(c)(1)(C), the policy requires that UWMPs include expected outcomes for measurable reduction in Delta reliance and improved regional self- reliance, commencing in 2015. WR P1 further states that those outcomes shall be reported in the UWMP as the reduction in the amount of water used, or in the percentage of water used, from the Delta.The expected outcomes for the City’s Delta reliance and regional self-reliance were developed using the approach and guidance described in Guidebook Appendix C issued in March 2021.

Regional Self-RelianceThe data used to demonstrate increased regional self-reliance in this analysis represent the total regional efforts of the City and its customers and was developed in conjunction with CMWD and MWDSC as part of the UWMP coordination process. The following provides a summary of the near-term (2025) and long-term (2045) expected outcomes for the City’s regional self-reliance.

Near-term (2025) – Normal water year regional self-reliance is expected to increase by about 7,100 AFY from the 2010 baseline; this represents an increase of about 68% of 2025 normal water year retail demands (Table C-3).

Long-term (2045) – Normal water year regional self-reliance is expected to increase by nearly 7,200 AFY from the 2010 baseline, this represents an increase of about 67% of 2045 normal water year retail demands (Table C-3).

The results show that through sustained water conservation efforts, the City is reducing reliance on the Delta and improving regional self-reliance.

Reduced Reliance on Supplies from the Delta WatershedFor reduced reliance on supplies from the Delta Watershed, the data used in this analysis represent the total regional efforts of MWDSC, CMWD, and their member agencies and customers (including the City) and were developed in conjunction with the City and other MWDSC member agencies as part of the UWMP coordination process (as described in Section 5 of MWDSC’s 2020 UWMP). In accordance


13

with UWMP requirements, MWDSC’s member agencies and their customers (many of them retail agencies) also report demands and supplies for their service areas in their respective UWMPs. The data reported by those agencies are not additive to the regional totals shown in MWDSC’s UWMP, rather their reporting represents subtotals of the regional total and should be considered as such for the purposes of determining reduced reliance on the Delta.While the demands that MWDSC’s member agencies and their customers report in their UWMP’s are a good reflection of the demands in their respective service areas, they do not adequately represent each water suppliers’ individual contributions to reduced reliance on the Delta. To calculate and report their reliance on water supplies from the Delta watershed, water suppliers that receive water from the Delta through other regional or wholesale water suppliers would need to determine the amount of Delta water that they receive from the regional or wholesale supplier. Two specific pieces of information are needed to accomplish this, first is the quantity of demands on the regional or wholesale water supplier that accurately reflect a supplier’s contributions to reduced reliance on the Delta and second is the quantity of a supplier’s demands on the regional or wholesale water supplier that are met by supplies from the Delta watershed.For water suppliers that make investments in regional projects or programs it may be infeasible to quantify their demands on the regional or wholesale water supplier in a way that accurately reflects their individual contributions to reduced reliance on the Delta. Due to the extensive, long-standing, and successful implementation of regional demand management and local resource incentive programs in MWDSC’s service area, this infeasibility holds true for MWDSC’s members as well as their customers. For MWDSC’s service area, reduced reliance on supplies from the Delta watershed can only be accurately accounted for at the regional level. The results show that as a region, MWDSC and its members (including the City) as well as their customers are measurably reducing reliance on the Delta and improving regional self-reliance.

6. UWMP ImplementationIn addition to the analysis and documentation described above, WR P1 subsection (c)(1)(B) requires that all programs and projects included in the UWMP that are locally cost-effective and technically feasible, which reduce reliance on the Delta, are identified, evaluated, and implemented consistent with the implementation schedule. WR P1 (c)(1)(B) states that:

(B) Identified, evaluated, and commenced implementation, consistent with the implementation schedule set forth in the Plan, of all programs and projects included in the Plan that are locally cost effective and technically feasible which reduce reliance on the Delta[.]

In accordance with Water Code Section 10631(f), water suppliers must already include in their UWMP a detailed description of expected future projects and programs that they may implement to increase the amount of water supply available to them in normal and single-dry water years and for a period of drought lasting five consecutive years. The UWMP description must also identify specific projects, include a description of the increase in water supply that is expected to be available from each project, and include an estimate regarding the implementation timeline for each project or program.Chapter 6 of the City’s 2020 UWMP summarizes the implementation plan and continued progress in developing a diversified water portfolio to meet the region’s water needs.

7.

The templates provided in this workbook are formated to mirror the structure of information that is submitted through the WUE Data Portal for the electronic submission of

Submittal Tables in the UWMP. The tables are offered in a protected (locked) version to maintain the structure of the templates. However, for those needing to adjust the tables

for their own planning needs beyond the Submittal Tables, the password to 'unprotect' each worksheet is 'dwr' (no quotes). To unprotect the worksheet, go to the Review tab,

select Unprotect Sheet, and enter the password 'dwr' in the pop‐up (no quotes). Preparers will still need to submit the information using the original template structure provided.

To redownload the templates in their original format, visit https://wuedata.water.ca.gov in the Resources button of the Urban Water Management Plan section (no login

necessary).

Suppliers submit the completed table data and UWMPs (including the Water Shortage Contingency Plan) electronically through the WUE Data Portal

(https://wuedata.water.ca.gov/). The portal will be updated in Spring 2021 and will be announced to the urban listserv, DWR webpage and WUE Data Portal opening page when

it is available for plan and table submittals.

Where to Submit?

Target Method 2

SB X7‐7 Tables 7‐B, 7‐C, and 7‐D

A supplier using Target Method 2 will complete these tables in Excel and submit them as a separate upload to the WUE Data Portal and include them in its UWMP.

Target Method 4

These tables are not in the SB X7‐7 Verification Form, but are found in WUE Data Portal using the Resources button. A supplier using Target Method 4 will complete these tables in Excel and

submit them as a separate upload to the WUE Data Portal and include them in its UWMP.

SB X7‐7 Verification Form

The SB X7‐7 Verification Form is for the calculation of baselines and targets. Most Suppliers will have completed this form with their 2015 UWMP and do not need to complete

this form again in 2020. See Chapter 5 Section 5.3 of the UWMP Guidebook for more information regarding which Suppliers must, or may, complete this form for their 2020

UWMP. 2020 compliance calculations are done in the SB X7‐7 2020 Compliance Form.

The SB X7‐7 2020 Compliance Form is for the calculation of 2020 compliance and is a separate workbook from the SB X7‐7 Verification Form. All retail suppliers must submit

the SB X7‐7 2020 Compliance Form. Baselines and targets are done in the SB X7‐7 Verification Form.

The data from the tables below will not be entered into WUE Data Portal tables. These tables will be submitted as separate uploads, in Excel, to WUE Data Portal.

Process Water Deduction

SB X7‐7 tables 4‐C, 4‐C.1, 4‐C.2, 4‐C.3, 4‐C.4 and 4‐D

A supplier that will use the process water deduction will complete the appropriate tables in Excel, submit them as a separate upload to the WUE Data Portal, and include them in its UWMP.

Number of years in baseline period 5 Years

Year beginning baseline period range 2004

2 The Water Code requires that the baseline period is between 10 and 15 years. However, DWR recognizes that some water suppliers may not have the

minimum 10 years of baseline data.

SB X7‐7 Table‐1: Baseline Period Ranges

1If the 2008 recycled water delivery is less than 10 percent of total water deliveries, then the 10‐15year baseline period is a continuous 10‐year period. If

the amount of recycled water delivered in 2008 is 10 percent or greater of total deliveries, the 10‐15 year baseline period is a continuous 10‐ to 15‐year

period.

3The ending year for the 10‐15 year baseline period must be between December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2010.

4The ending year for the 5 year baseline period must be between December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2010.

SB X7‐7 2020 Compliance Form

The SB X7‐7 2020 Compliance Form is for the calculation of 2020 compliance only. All retail suppliers must complete the SB

X7‐7 Compliance Form. Baseline and target calculations are done in the SB X 7‐7 Verification Form.

The SB X7‐7 Verification Form is for the calculation of baselines and targets and is a separate workbook from the SB X7‐7

2020 Compliance Form. Most Suppliers will have

completed the SB X7‐7 Verification Form with their 2015 UWMP and do not need to complete this form again in 2020. See

Chapter 5 Section 5.3 of the UWMP Guidebook for more information regarding which Suppliers must, or may, complete the SB

X7‐7 Verification Form for their 2020 UWMP. 2020 compliance calculations are done in the SB X7‐7 2020 Compliance Form.

Process Water Deduction tables will not be entered into WUE Data Portal tables.
