AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE:November 1, 2018
TITLE:Discussion of Water Conservation Bills SB 606 and AB 1668
PRESENTED BY:Sandra Molina, Planning & Development Services Director
RECOMMENDATION:Discuss Water Conservation Bills Signed into Law by
Governor Brown
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports Goal #5 to Engage in Proactive Communication.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On October 18, 2018, Chairman Comstock expressed concern regarding two Bills (SB
606 and AB 1668) recently signed into law by Governor Brown regarding water
efficiency.
Staff reached out to Riverside Highland Water Company General Manager Don Hough
regarding the Bills. The Bills call for new urban efficiency standards for indoor use,
outdoor use, and water lost to leaks, and place the responsibility on water purveyors.
Mr. Hough is aware of the Bills and will provide the Commission an overview of the Bills
to commence a discussion.
Attached to this report is a Fact Sheet from the Department of Water Resources, a

A.1.a
Water Efficiency Legislationwill Make California
MoreResilient toImpacts of Future Droughts
On May 31, 2018, Governor Brown signed two billswhich build on the ongoing efforts to “make
water conservation a California way of life.” SB 606 (Hertzberg) and AB 1668 (Friedman)
reflect the dedicated work of many water suppliers, environmental organizations, and members
of the Legislature.
SB 606 and AB 1668emphasizeefficiency and
stretching existing water suppliesin our cities and on
farms. Efficient water use is the most cost-effective
way to achieve long term conservation goals, as well
provide the water supply reliability needed to adapt to
the longerandmore intense droughts climate change
is causing inCalifornia.
Some have misinterpreted theimmediate impact of this
law. It doesnotimpose individual mandates for
homeownersor businesses.The mandates will fall on
urban water suppliers –not customers.
What Are the Specific Requirements for Urban and Agricultural Water
Suppliers?
Attachment: water_efficiency_bill_factsheet (Discussion of Water Bills)
Specifically, the bills call for creation of new urban efficiency standards forindoor use,
outdoor use, and water lost to leaks, as well as any appropriate variances for unique
local conditions.The State Water Board will adopt these standards by regulation no
later than June 30, 2022, after full and robust public and stakeholder processes.
Each urban retail water agency will annually, beginning November 2023, calculate its
own objective,based on the water needed in its service area for efficientindoor
residential water use, outdoor residential water use, commercial, industrial and
institutional (CII) irrigation with dedicated meters, and reasonable amounts of system

water loss, along with consideration of other unique local uses(i.e., variances) and
“bonus incentive,”or credit, for potable water reuse, using the standards adopted by the
Board.
.
Urban water agencies must meet their water use objective. Those that don’t maybe
subject toenforcement by the Board.Starting in 2023, the State Water Board may issue
informational ordersto urban water suppliers that do not meet their water use objective,
and may issue conservation ordersbeginning in 2025.
The indoor water use standard will be 55 gallons per person per day (gallons per capita
daily, or GPCD) until January 2025; the standard will become stronger over time,
decreasing to 50 GPCD in January 2030. For the water use objective, the indoor use is
aggregated across population in an urban water supplier’s service area, not each
household.
The outdoor water use standard will be based on land cover, climate, and other factors
determined by the Department of Water Resources and the State Water Resources
Control Board. The State Water Resources Control Board will adopt the outdoor
standard by June 2022.
Thewater leaks standard will be set by the State Water Resources Control Board
Attachment: water_efficiency_bill_factsheet (Discussion of Water Bills)
pursuant to prior legislation (SB 555, 2015)by July 2020.
In addition,the Department of Water Resources and the State Water Resources Control
Board will work collaboratively todefine performance measures for Commercial,
Institutional, and Industrial (CII) water use by October 2021.The State Water Board will
adopt the CII performance measures by June 2022.
To enhance drought planning and preparedness, urban water agencies also will be
required to update urban water management plans that specify reliability of water
supply, define the agency's strategy for meeting its water needs, including conducting
annual “stress tests” of supply versus demand to ensure water service continuity
assuming the five worst or driest years in the supplier’s historical record.

Background:
Governor Brown’s April2017Executive Orderlifted his January 2014drought declaration for
most of the state and replaced it with a long-term plan to better prepare thestate for future
droughts. The order includedestablishing a frameworkfor efficient water use that reflects the
state’s diverse climate, landscape and population growth.
In April 2017, five state agencies (State Water Board, Department of Water Resources, Energy
Commission, Public Utilities Commission, Department of Food and Agriculture) published a
framework document that was used to formulate the water conservation legislation.
