Executive Surnmarv:
The City of Petaluma Water Conservation Program for Budget Year 2000/01 prepared by the
Sonoma County Water Agency consists primarily of voluntary, incentive -based water
conservation programs. The use of voluntary conservation programs allows for cornmunity
involvement and education to achieve water resource management without high levels of
mandatory regulation. City Water Conservation Programs include:
A Residential and Non -Residential Toilet Replacement Programs
0 Residential Water Management Program
e Non -Residential Landscape Water Audit and hlcentive Program
A Landscape Water Conservation Ordinance and Water -Waste Reduction Program
0 Commercial/Industrial Water Survey and Incentive Program
The City of Petaluma FY 00/01 Capital Improvement Plan - Water System Improvements -
Project #9931 for water conservation service to implement measures that will reduce the amount
of water used by the customers of Petaluma's Water Utility System, as well as reduce the amount
of water discharged to Petaluma's Wastewater Treatment and Disposal System.
Backeround:
This project will develop and implement various programs to reduce the amount of water used
by the customers of Petaluna's Water Utility System, as well as reduce the amount of water
discharged to Petaluma's Wastewater Treatment and Disposal System.
An estimated $2,780,083 of finding will be available from 1998 through 2009 to the City of
Petaluma (City) for water conservation measures and water reuse programs. These funds are
identified in Petaluma's portion of the Sonoma County Water Agency's Draft Water
Conservation Plan with the goal to reduce water demands on the transmission system. SCWA
staff will be working closely with City to administer the water conservation programs listed
below.
Toilet Replacement Program For Non -Residential Customers, In 1997, the City initiated a
Non -Residential Toilet Replacement Program with the goal to replace 50% or 1,825 high-water
using toilets with new water -conserving fixtures in industrial, commercial, and institutional
facilities. To date 861 toilets have been replaced at a cost of $311,187 or $361 per toilet. The
annual water savings of the 1,825 toilet replacements is estnnated to be 62.3 acre-feet per year
(AFY).
Toilet Replacement Program for Residential Customers- In 1999, the City initiated a
Residential Toilet Replacement Program with the goal to replace 25% or 7,039 gravity -flush
toilets in residential dwellings. The water savings is estimated to be 86.7 AFY.
A Special Event Fund Raiser kicked off the first year of the Residential Toilet Replacement
Program, replacing 957 high -water -using toilets. Free -of -charge, 1.6 -gallon -per -flush toilets,
faucet aerators, and low -flow showerheads (fixtures) were given to residential water customers
during one weekend in September 1999. The City donated $15 per toilet to Casa Grande and
Petaluma High Schools for working with the City on this program.
Water Management Program for Residential Customers- A water management program will
be developed to assist Petaluma's residential customers with water conservation and reducing
peak water use. An extensive public information outreach program will be developed and
implemented dining the irrigation season. A pilot ET satellite controller program for up to 50
residents with large landscapes will be implemented. A California Irrigation Management
Information System (CIMIS) weather station was installed at the Rooster Run Golf Course in
1999. This station provides the evapotranspiration data needed to develop and implement the
irrigation management program.
Landscape Water Audit & Incentive Program for Non -Residential Customers - The City of
Petaluma is implementing a Landscape Water Audit and hicentive Program for non-residential
water customers. The program includes:
Local ET Data
A California Irrigation Management Inforniation System (CIMIS) weather station was
installed within the City limits. This CIMIS weather station provides the
evapotranspiration data needed to develop irrigation schedules for the Landscape Water
Audit and Irrigation Incentive Programs.
Education
A Cal Poly instructor conducted a two-day training session for the City of Petaluma
landscape staff, Water Department staff, Landscape Assessment District contractors and
local school district landscape staff. The training session helped prepare the landscape
professionals to perform site inspections, evaluate irrigation systems, and develop
efficient irrigation schedules for drip, bubbler, microspray and sprinkler systems. The
majority of the course was spent in the field performing "landscape audits" and at the
computer generating irrigation schedules with the audit software.
Landscape Water Audit Pro aram
The Landscape Water Audit included an inventory of sprinklers on each valve/circuit and
catch -can tests to determine the precipitation rate and distribution unifonmity of the
sprinklers. The catch can volumes were measured, recorded and entered into software
developed by the Irrigation and Training Research Center of Cal Poly. A report was
prepared for the program participant with a proposed irrigation schedule for turf areas,
based on Petaluma's evapotranspiration (ET). Irrigation/controller plans were also
provided that identified the location of the sprinklers on each valve, their respective
precipitation rates and distribution uniformity.
Irrieation Incentive Proara m
A customized Irrigation Incentive Program was developed to assist non-residential water
customers in improving the efficiency of their sprinkler systems. The City will pay for a
portion of the labor and material costs of the irrigation equipment that will improve water
use efficiency of existing irrigation systems. Hill Plaza Park was the first program
participant.
Landscape Water Conservation and Water -Waste Reduction Ordinances - A new
Landscape Water Conservation Ordinance is being developed by the City and shaped by
community leaders. The purpose of the ordinance is to promote efficient water use through
landscape design and irrigation management. Based on a water budget, or water allowance,
irrigation water is used to maintain a healthy, attractive and functional landscape for each
business.
The ordinance applies to
• All new and rehabilitated industrial, coimriercial, and institutional landscaping.
• All new and rehabilitated multi -family common areas after the installation or
renovation of the irrigation system.
• Turf areas of school -yards, parks, playgrounds, sports fields, cemeteries and golf
courses will need to follow efficient irrigation practices.
A Water Waste Reduction Ordinance is being developed to address opportunities for water
savings and to identify nonessential uses:
• The washing of sidewalks and other hard -surfaced areas by direct hosing.
• Water leaks.
• Excessive run-off of irrigation water and over spray.
• Washing machinery directly with a hose not equipped with a shutoff nozzle.
• Water for non -recycling decorative water fountains.
• Intentional disposal of debris into stonn drains is prohibited.
Commercial/Industrial Water Survey and Incentive Program - In 1997, the City initiated a
10 -year Commercial/Industrial Water Survey and Incentive Program with the goal to obtain 10%
participation and achieve a 10 acre-feet per year (AFY) estimated water savings. During the first
two program years a customized Commercial/Industrial Water Survey and Incentive Program
was developed for Mishi Apparel, Inc. The Bay Institute of San Francisco worked on Petaluma's
programs from grant funds awarded by the Rose Foundation for Communities and Environment.
Mishi Apparel is implementing the water efficiency reconniendations in phases. They are
currently in the first phase which includes replacing existing washing machines with front-
loading, horizontal axis machines.
hi early 2000, a second demonstration site, Sola Optical USA, Lac., was selected for the program.
Sola Optical manufactures approximately 1/3 of all ophthalmic lenses worn in the United States.
The Pacific Technology team is currently purchasing instrumentation equipment (clamp -on
flowmeters, associated data loggers, and related data integration services) and performing an
extensive water efficiency evaluation including:
• Developing a dynamic water balance for the plant, including indoor and outdoor uses.
There is currently a single City water meter for all uses.
• Evaluating the water use in cast -cleaning, coating and edging processes.
• Evaluating potential water efficiency improvements.
The Pacific Technology team estimates that together, the two demonstration projects (Mishi
Apparel, Inc. and Sola Optical USA, Inc,) will save 11 acre-feet per year. This estimated savings
is as much water as was predicted for the entire first -generation Commercial/hndustrial Survey
and Incentive Program proposed for Petaluma in the Montgomery Watson Report of 1995.
Alternatives:
The program could be modified or other programs could be considered such as; mandatory at -
time -of sale water conservation requirements, tiered water rate structure and/or a project to
install a pipeline and distribution system for the urban reuse of wastewater.
Financial Impacts:
The source of finds for the Petaluma Water Conservation Program for 2000/01 are:
Sonoma County Water Agency Amendment #10 $389,000
City Water Pollution Control Funds $364.000
Total $753,000
Conclusion:
The City of Petaluma should continue to expand water conservation programs in order to
preserve and protect existing water resources, to improve the likelihood that additional water
resources will be available in the future and to help defer capital costs for expansion of City
water and wastewater facilities.

ET Controller
Pilot Program
University research into landscape and agricultural water use has
determined that evapotranspiration (ET) is the recognized and accepted
method to deliver precise irrigation for landscapes. However, setting
irrigation schedules by the ET rate is a sophisticated, time-consuming
and ongoing activity. Thus, it is rarely performed by homeowners and
landscape professionals. The results of improper irrigation scheduling
are over -watered landscapes, wasted water, summer peaking, high water
bills and infrastructure increases to meet demands.
A new technology has been developed to eliminate the inherent
problems of efficient irrigation scheduling (U.S. Patent #5,208,855;
Method and Apparatus for Irrigation Control Using Evapotranspiration).
A weekly broadcast signal with the local ET information is sent and
picked up by a computer chip embedded in the controller, which
automatically adjusts the irrigation schedule. This controller will be
ready for installation into pilot projects by the spring of 2000. The
current studies of this technology/ET signal controller show:
® A 30% savings of landscape water in residential homes of
modest size in Irvine, California (or a 15% savings of total home
water use).
o The ET Signal Controller shows the potential to significantly
outperform Ultra Low Flush Toilets (ULFT's) in terms of water
savings and cost-effectiveness. The current water agency study
confirms this contention by showing a projected average savings
of 25,000 gallons per test home in one year, with a projected cost
of $150-$225 for the ET Signal Controller unit and installation.

ET Controller
Pilot Program
• Landscape water use can be set for local ET and specific home
site conditions.
• The ET Signal Controller can insure efficient irrigation
scheduling on dedicated metered sites, mixed use meter sites and
unmetered sites.
• The ET signal can be broadcast consistently (weekly) to insure
that irrigation schedules match changes in weather.
• Individual site irrigation schedules are established with regards to
soil, valve by valve, plant type, microclimates (sum or shade),
specific sprinkler type, etc.
• Receiving the ET Signal requires a service and broadcast fee
(generally established by the size of the landscape and water
savings potential) that is less cost than the cost of saved water.
• The ET Controller is convenient for customers.
• The technology patent holder offers a variety of fee collection
options for agencies and/or customers to be further analyzed.
• The ET Signal Controller is priced to fit within existing or
traditional agency ULFT distribution and home survey programs.
Water agency studies cite that homes typically use 50% of home water
in the landscape. The American Water Works Association Research
Foundation (AWWARF) end-use study in San Diego shows that 61% of
home water is used outside in the landscape. As indoor plumbing
retrofits reach saturation, or where new homes already utilize low -flow
plumbing devices, the landscape is the next significant water savings
opportunity for agencies and customers. (PV77ere `peaking" is n

problem, saving landscape realer is far more valuable than sm,ing
interior water to accommodate igftastructure capabilities.)
It has also been recognized that with current technology and techniques,
achieving home landscape water use efficiency would require
consistent customer action, is a relatively sophisticated activity and
currently lacks a verifiable measurement capability. At best, traditional
landscape conservation programs are short-term efforts requiring
renewed agency and customer actions year after year. This is
particularly true in areas with multiple microclimates and where weather
changes from week to week.
How can water agencies assist customers with using water efficiently in
home landscapes? How can water agencies verify efficient water use
over the long-term in home landscapes? How can water agencies fund
ongoing landscape conservation programs? How best can agencies
meet state conservation requirements? And, how can agencies achieve
these goals on a large scale, similar to toilet rebate programs in the
1990's.
The design of the ET Controller Pilot Program is intended to address
and overcome the common barriers to achieving home and commercial
landscape water use efficiency. It is intended to provide a positive,
convenient and credible water savings technology for customers that
achieves verifiable, long-term, site -by -site water use efficiency. A
current test in 40 homes in the Irvine Ranch Water District shows 25 -

40% savings in landscape water use from early results. The Irvine study
is testing a certain ET Controller technology, the convenience for
customers and the price range customers would he willing to pay for a
controller that delivers efficient landscape irrigation.
The proposed Pilot Program is designed to evaluate water savings
potential and the protocol for mass distribution and installation
programs. The program would: (1) monitor water savings, (2) survey
options for customer / agency programs, (3) determine the use of local
contractors for product distribution and installation (4) identify
complimentary conservation programs that can maximize home and
landscape water efficiency, and (5) identify potential revenue to the
water agency for collection of the ET signal and service fee on water
bills.
The program is designed to run for 12 months, with a 7 -month
monitoring phase, test the above elements, identify an appropriate target
group of customers from the residential sector, work with the agency
staff on a variety of issues including weather station data, participant
selection, monitoring, etc. The program would also provide an estimate
of the cost and benefits of a larger customer distribution/installation
program for the agency and customers.

WATERLESS URINAL EVALUATION
City of Petaluma
Proposed by Pacific Technology Associates
Synopsis
Waterless urinals, not presently provided for in the City of Petaluma's water conservation
programs, offer good savings potential for both retrofit and new construction applications. This
proposal suggests means for overcoming the two major obstacles that prevent use of these
devices: the lack of accurate knowledge about urinal water usage, and lack of familiarity with
waterless fixtures.
Background
An installed base of approximately 700 urinals exists in commercial, industrial, and institutional
facilities served by the City of Petaluma's water and wastewater utilities.' The average unit
water consumption of these fixtures is unknown, but is conservatively expected to range between
45 and 115 gallons per day.2 The annual consumption for all fixtures in Petaluma therefore
ranges between 16 and 40 million gallons.
The simple payback for replacing flush with waterless urinals, from the perspective of CII
customers, is conservatively estimated between 4 and 16 years. When the financial incentive of
$1.03/CCF is provided (the same proposed for other Ions lasting CII water efficiency
improvements), the simple payback falls to between a few months and ten years, with a probable
average of approximately three years. Although this is not as rapid as the payback achieved by
retrofitting urinal flush valves for lower volume operation, the complete replacement of a
conventional urinal with a waterless unit saves more water, and does so with favorable economic
parameters. Prior to investing public funds to support such a measure, it is crucial to confirm its
cost-effectiveness, and to review performance history to ensure there are no performance issues
that cannot be mitigated.
Waterless urinals are less costly than conventional urinals in new construction. However,
although they instantly pay for themselves, they are rarely specified. While the precise reasons
for this are not known, a leading factor is probably a lack of familiarity among building
designers, owners, and facility managers.
Estimate based upon information collected during the first phase of the City of Petaluma's CII toilet program. An
average of .77 urinals per site were found by the contractor who surveyed and replaced fixtures at 19% of the City's
866 CII customers.
2 This reflects die ranges of 30 to 50 uses per fixture per day, and 1.5 to 2.3 gl/flush.
Proposal
Baseline Proposal
Value:
This expands upon the water efficiency survey already approved for SOLA Optical by
developing a relatively low-cost means for measuring urinal water usage (<$100/application);
thereby providing the means for evaluating waterless urinals as a retrofit water efficiency
measure throughout Petaluma. The normally restricted access to plumbing upstream of these
fixtures, and relatively small usage relative to the total volume, generally precludes analysis of
this savings opportunity by normal methods. The sparse data otherwise available is insufficient
to support responsible investment policies.
Scope of Work:
Develop low-cost means for determining water usage in an existing urinal, test at SOLA Optical
USA (all urinals in one bathroom), and calculate the economic parameters associated with
replacing existing urinals with waterless urinals at the bathroom evaluated.
Deliverables:
Prototype measurement technique (including means for measuring gallons per flush
and flushes per week, with the goal of unobtrusive and non-invasive devices, such as
with direct volume measurement, and a tiny thermal or vibration sensor integrated
with a power supply and data logger to measure flushes); and
Technical memorandum explaining the cost-effectiveness of replacing conventional
urinals with waterless urinals at SOLA Optical USA.
Schedule: three months (this anticipates a developmental trial -and -error learning curve)
Fee: $7,400
Arfianced Proposal
Value:
This adds to the Baseline Proposal in two important ways. First, usage data for conventional
urinals is collected at several sites to provide a better perspective on the value of offering
waterless urinals as part of the City's CII toilet program, for example. Second, installation at
demonstration sites around town (hopefully incuding a bathroom used by visitors to the City
Planning Department, and a variety of other CII sites) will provide the experience that is
absolutely critical to future installation decisions.
Scope of Work:
Review the technology, recruit four demonstration sites, develop low-cost means for determining
water usage in existing urinals and employ this for a combined total of eight urinals at the four
demonstration sites, calculate the economic parameters associated with replacing urinals with
waterless urinals at all sites, install eight waterless urinals (work subcontracted to a licensed
plumber), and interview participants six months after installation to evaluate performance.
Deliverables:
I. Technical Memorandum: description of equipment available, and lessons learned
from users, water and wastewater utility staff, and knowledgeable others around the
U.S. via telephone survey. This will be accomplished prior to approaching
representatives of potential demonstration sites.
2. Prototype measurement technique (including means for measuring gallons per flush
and flushes per week, with the goal of unobtrusive and non-invasive devices, such as
with buckets and tiny thermal or vibration sensor integrated with a power supply and
data logger)
3. Install eight waterless urinals (original fixtures to be retained in case the owner
decides to re -install them)
4. Technical memorandum summarizing the performance, economic and otherwise, of
all waterless urinals installed.
Schedule: ten months
Fee: $19,600

Scope of Work
Production of Water Conservation Videos
with
Council for Community Television
Council for Community Television will produce 3 -videos on the City ofPetaluma's
water conservation programs. Three topics that the City is considering are Industrial
Conservation, the CIMIS weather station and residential water conservation.
Council for Community Television will develop, coordinate and administer five (5) City
sponsored contests for Petaluma residents to compete for financial scholarships or other
incentive for producing the winning water conservation videos. Council for Community
Television will also seeli community partners to financially participate in the
scholarships and /or awards.
Professional Services agreement for furnishing materials and services for the production
of water conservation videos with Council for Community Television
COUNCIL FOR COMMUNITY TELEVISION
Our mission is to promote community participation in video production -F-H&VATIO
uplifting, positive, informational and educational Petaluma area programs. —
A major focus is to encourage youth participation in video producticin _ through awards
, project grants and scholarships.A��
GOALS AND ACTION:
Utilize the medium of video to produce a series of projects which impact our
community.
We have chosen Water Conservation to lead the way in encouraging our
community to showcase itself with the help of student videographers. Our first
project will be with the assistance of Betty Harrison's Junior High School class.
Participants will act as a team to develop and share their ideas for Water
Conservation in the form of P.S.A.'s (Public Service Announcements). Betty
Harrison will monitor and grade this class project.
Council for Community Television would like to contribute, upon
satisfactory completion of this project, by awarding Mrs. Harrison's classroom with
a gift of video equipment. This will encourage this class and following classes to
increase production of future programs.
We believe this type of motivation will be the model for many other groups.
Our hope is that we gain participation from high schools and colleges as well as
individuals.
We envision all committed to Water Conservation, from government to the
private sector, will see the value in our goals and contribute funding. We will
encourage partnering.
Community television is still an untapped resource for furthering community
awareness and participation.
Thank you for encouraging us to expand that resource through the prospect
of your funds contribution.
