WATER EFFICIENCY

The City's water efficiency goal is to decrease residential water consumption by 0.25% for each year for the next six years. Water use efficiency measures shall be consistent with, and strive to exceed, all local, State, and Federal laws and regulations.

Distribution Leakage Standard

The City will continue to maintain levels of water leakage for its distribution system at less than 10% on a three-year rolling average.

Reclaimed Water

The City has been very active in reusing treated wastewater at its Wastewater Treatment Plant site for over 20 years. The City completed a Phase 1 study, Water Reclamation and Reuse Site Evaluations and Study (HDR, 2012), to evaluate the feasibility of a reclaimed water program. A Phase 2 study is planned to be completed in 2024 to further evaluate reclaimed water opportunities.
