2.0 BACKGROUND:
In 1995, the Sonoma County Water Agency (Agency commissioned a 'study of the cost -
effectiveness of various water, conservation measures that could be implemented by each water
contractor._ The. study, entitled. �" Water and. Wastewater Efficiency /Avoided Cost Study
(September 1995`) ", determined the potential water savings, and economic costs and benefits of
I. implementing, $est Management "Practices, (BMPs) within the' Agency's service area. 'This .study
subject 't' annual` budget a ro" riations' ,a roximatel 5M ann dll The WCP designated,
lead to the'developme �: of the titer Conserv $1
ep at>on Pl y" b the Ag
for 'a ten -year period
(commencing, FY 1997=1998), • to assist the Agency's water contractors in implementing cost-
- �� -
effective BMPs; The "WCP is ,now funded through the 1 l th Amended Agreement for Water
Supply. , .
Fundi . :for Water conservation programs is provided i the Agencys ,operations and
maintenance fund. `The' water conservation portion of this fund, 'is approximately $2M annually
(Petaluma's contribution to. this fund is approximately ,$330,000, annually). , Of the $2M
budgeted, approximately $500,000 is expended for regional water conservation efforts by the
1
S' \water resources & con servation \Conservation \City Council \Sept 13 2004 SCWAVf 04 -6S agenda bill.final.doc
Agency. The remaining $'1,5M is designated to assist the water contractors in implementing
their water conservation pro:grarns. Petaluma . ' s total' entitlement to this fund, over the 10 -year
period, is $2,780,083. This, provides an ,annual"amount of $278,0.00. These funds are identified
in Petaluma's'portion of the Sonoma County Water Agency's WCP with the goal to reduce water
demands on.thetraiismission system..
Petaluma'''s water conservation program focuses on im proving the water use efficiency of the:

(CUWCC) Best Management Practices (BMP). As a member of the CUWCC, the City agrees to
implement these BMPs as part of its water conservation program. - The CUWCC: was created to
increase efficient water use statewide "through partnerships among urban, water agencies, public
interest organizations,: and private, entities. The ' Council's goal is to integrate ,urban water
conservation. Best Management Practices into the. planning and management :of California's water
.resources.
This is the 7 th year 'that' the City of Petaluma and the Sonoma County Water. Agency have
cooperated in. administering the City of Petaluma's. Water `Conservation Program., Each year the

promote and ;administer the City's Non - Residential Toilet Replacement Program. to
industrial, commercial, and institutional customers.
CII Audit and Incentive Program: At least three in -depth engineering resource, audits wilt
lie. performed at local CII businesses. The City and Agency will conduct a Pilot
Efficiency program in the spring of 2005 to determine the feasibility of offering
expanded incentives for installation of more efficient toilets washing :machines and
irrigation equipment. The program will target 1 single family residents and one multi
family residential unit audited as part' of the BMP 1 requirements, one commercial
customer, one institutional customer audited', last year and one industrial customer The
goal of the efficiency program will be! to determine how the City would implement: and
pay for an efficiency component' of the conservation program.
The City is planning to work with the Agency on the second , phase of the -regional
restaurant water conservation program. The program will ;offer, general auditsl• to
approximately 10 more restaurants. The general audits will- include, an` inventory of water
using fixtures installation of a pre -rinse spray nozzle and check for water leaks. The
CPUC 'w ill pay '$130 towards the labor costs to install the pre -rinse nozzle and the City'
will continue to pay $`50 for the nozzle.
BMP 10— Wholesale Agency Assistance Program
The Agency will continue to implement this BMP.
; BMP 11 — CWiservation Pricing
Wastewater service, charges for - residential customers are now based lon average
winterime water use. This approach is more equitable than a flat fee and :provides an
additional incentive to conserve water. Commercial accounts- -are charged for both water
and sewer based upon actual consumption, with the sewer rate dependent` on the type of
effluent going to the wastewater treatment plant. The City is investigati`ng.the
of billing on a monthly cycle instead Hof the present bi- monthly cycle:

A.1. BACKGROUND
The Agency's Water Conservation;Plan ,(WCP) was reviewed: and accepted b y the Agency's Board of
Directors on May 1'9, 1998 The'WCP details the amount of annual water conservation funding available
for a ten -year period (1998= 2008)andahe water savings goal by the year 20.15. City's water savings goal
is 1,000 acre -feet per year {AFY) by'201'6. The "City's goal is to�offset'600 "acre -feet per year of existing
programs. As of July -31, 2004 the conservation programs °provide approximately 165
acre -
potable water use with recycled water and :another 400' acre -feet per year with water_ co
oximately 165
feet of potable offset annually.. An , estimated °$$278,000 will be available annually to the :City`for
implementing water conservation .measures (additional sources of funding may increase this amount
please refer.to Section A.2), The' "City °anticipates continuing to fund the= conservation program at the
current annual rate in support of the CQWCC document.
In 2002 City became signatoryto the, Memorandum .of Understanding ,(MOU) Regarding Urban. Water
:Conservation in California as governed: by' thibtaliforniaUrban ,Wbfbr Council (CUWCC).
As signatory to the MOU; !City is responsible for compliance with developing and implementing cost -
effective Best Management.,Practices (BMPs) related to retail water.•agencies. City intends to use the
funds available from this agreement:and;,those budgeted' in the: City!s water and wastewater operating
budgets annually to help fund the' implementation of various'BMPs required by the CUWCC's MOU.
A.2. ADDITIONAL FUNDING` SOURCES
Besides funds available #1.1, funds'are�available='frorn the,City's water and
wastewater operating bud'gefs for,water conservation program implementation. The Program costs and
water savings estimates are, based on the following reports:
a Water and Wastewater Efficiency /Avoided Costs Study. September 1995 (MW Study), prepared by
Montgomery Watson a'nd.funded by the Agency
0 City of Pe #aluma's 107 Cll' Toilet. "Replacement. 'Program, prepared by John Olaf Nelson Water

A. Definition .Develop and implement ia strategy targeting,an.d,' marketing water use survey to
sing1e- familyLrbs1dent18l and multi-family residenti al customers. ,Provide,custorners with
evaluation results and water savings recommendations. The surveys include indoor and
outdoor components and at a minimum, have the following elements:
Check forwater leaks in toilets, showers and faucets.
Instruct customers; howto read the water meter and. use it to check leaks.
Measure showerhead and faucet flow: rates 'and 'offer to replace high- flow . ;fixtures with
new water Lcon serving fixtures:
Check irrigation system and timers.
• Review or develop customer,irrigation.schedules.
B'. Status :. ET Irrigation Controller'Pilot Program: In 200112002, the City of Petaluma °approved
an agreement.to perform an evapotranspiration (ET), irrigation controller pilot test for 50 City
water customers (mostly single - family. residential). The ET figation Controller Pilot Program
satisfies the outdoor portion of the residential water audit. The City decided to wait, and
im lement this. his' pilot program as part of 1he regional ET Irrigation Controller Program that will
be partiallyfunded with Prop. 13 funding (see section A.:3.2- C.2. w)'.
C. Goals:
1. Single and Multi = family Residential Suryeys. The Program will offer'sit&surveys for
single and multi- family residential customers. ;Indoor and outdoor components will
provide the customer with Iow4I6w. :devices, irrigation schedules, and education on ways
for the m to save water. Agency staff will.work with and train City's, contractor. Agency
and City
-
ystaff will coordinate the single- and multi- family residential'surve.yprogram. The
survey's began in August of 2004 with a, goal of surveying, 488 single, family homes and
100: multi= family:units. This on, going BMP will require the City to conduct 244 single-
family and 50 multi - family surveys through' 2012.

Status A California Irrigation Management Information System (CIMIS!)rweather station was
installed at the. Rooster Run Golf Course in 1999. This station provides the
evapotranspiration (ET) data needed to develop and implement the large landscape
conservation ,program, including the following:
1. - Water, ,Budget Program:: 'Methodology'was developed.to,assign water use budgets for
non';resid:ertial landscape sites served• by dedicated irrigation meters. Fifteen City- owned!
parks with dedicated water meters were selected and assigned water'
budgets through
the program., A water use budget is an upper bound estimateof water use ; at'a site'given
its landscape area, local weather conditions,, and plant material: Historically,, Letters have
been. sent to each :owner of the irrigation on discussing °the water use and ,if t.;meets
the anticipated water budget for the areas that:have been;.calculated. The ,City and
Agency-are working to automate this,aspect of.the program, see below in goals.
2. Landscape Water A&dit.P.rogramc Twenty City-owned parks have been. audited through
the program. Landscape water audits include an inventory of sprinklerson each
va /circuit and catch -can tests to determine the precipitation rate and distribution
uniformity of'the sprinklers. The catch -can volumes are measured,, recorded' and entered
into .software developed by the Irrigation and Training Research C.enterof :California.
Polytechnic University at San Luis Obispo, (Cal_ Poly): A;report is .prepared forthe
program participant`with a' proposed irrigation scheduie'for turf areas, based on City's ET.
3 Irrigation Incentive Program' An Irrigation Incentive Program was developed;'to assist-
non- residential water customers in improving thel efficiency of their sprinklersystems.
The City pays:for a portion of..the labor;and material costs of the irrigation equipment °that
will improve water use efficiency of, existing irrigation systems.
4. Irrigation. Management Training: Agency. staff will workon.a regional, landscape and /or
irrigation training'class:and market ihe:classto Petaluma landscape staff :and other. local
landscape professionals.
In 1999/00, a Cal Poly 'instrucfor conducted a two -day training session forthe City's
landscape:,staff, water department staff, landscape assessme.nt: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, micro- spray�bnd 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
• In 2000101, Agency City coordinated a' Plant Water- Requirement Seminar. This
seminar was designed for professionals, who design view landscapes review .
landscape plans, instal Handscapes, and/ or maintain existing landscape.
• In 2001/02-, a Water °`Budget update and ET Irrigation controller seminar was
coordinated with the North Bay Watershed Association.
In 2003 /04, Agency staff hosted a regional landscape irrigation training class
attended by City of Petaluma Parks and Recreation landscape, maintenance staff and
other local'tandscape professionals.
O. Goal
Accounts with Dedicated Irrigation Meters: Agency and City staff will work cooperatively
with Agency's intern(s') to begin to measure approximately, 500 landscape of the
City's 573,dedicated irrigation ,.meters:accounts,, using existing GIS,. aerial photography
and field measurements °utilizing GPS technology -. Agency and City staff will develop a
method to contact customers bi- monthlywater budgets to-show the relationship. of
their water budget t_o.theactual water that they used during the current'billing period_ . The,
new financial software purchased by the City last year needs to be programmed, to
provide this: information directly`to th&customer on their bill by theriext irri'gation.'season.
