1. INTRODUCTION
The Town of Trophy Club, Texas (the "Town"), holding Public Water System ID No. 0160273 for the Town
of Trophy Club Public Improvement District , has adopted this Water Conservation Plan ("Plan") for the
following purposes: (i) to establish certain rules and policies for the orderly and efficient management of
limited water supplies during drought and other water supply emergencies; and (ii) to establish certain
practices, techniques, and technologies that reduce the consumption of water in the Town , and to
improve the efficiency of use of water in the Town . The Town has also adopted a Drought Contingency
and Emergency Water Management Plan that sets forth the specific requirements that will be initiated
should a drought or other water emergency occur. The Town 's Drought Contingency and Emergency
Water Plan is attached hereto and incorporated herein as EXHIBIT 1.
The Town has adopted the drought contingency aspects of this Plan pursuant to, and in accordance with,
30 TAC §288.20 and §288.30(5)(8), which require certain retail public water suppliers to adopt a drought
contingency plan by May 1, 2005, and to update the plan before May 1, 2009 and every five years after
that date, as well as to update the Plan to reflect changes to rules and procedures. The Town has
adopted the water conservation provisions of this Plan pursuant to its contract to purchase treated
surface water from the Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 (hereinafter "District"), a wholesale
provider to Town, with the District also having adopted a water conservation plan in accordance with its
contractual obligations with the City of Fort Worth (the "Fort Worth"), both District and Town having
agreed to adopt and enforce water conservation measures and goals similar to Fort Worth.
A violation of the mandatory provisions of this Plan shall constitute a violation of the Town's and the
District's rules, and shall subject the offender(s) to penalties as defined in Section 15 of this Plan.
2. AUTHORIZATION
The Town Manager, or his designee is hereby authorized and directed to implement and enforce the
provisions of this Plan.
The provisions of this Plan shall apply to all persons, customers, and property within the Town and to all
persons, customers, and property served directly by the District and classified as "out of District "

5. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
April 21, 2014 Town of Trophy Club Water Conservation Plan Page 4
District provides retail water and wastewater services to approximately 3,020 single family residences,
townhouses, and condominium units, and to Trophy Club Country Club and certain other commercial
establishments. The District's boundaries encompass an area within the Town of Trophy Club and an
area within the Town of Westlake. In addition to providing retail water and wastewater services to
customers within its boundaries and a few out -of -district customers, the District also provides wholesale
water and wastewater services to the Town of Trophy Club pursuant to an agreement between the Town
and District to provide wholesale water supply and operational services to the Town. The Town provides
retail service to the PID, comprised of approximately 1,100 single family residences. The source of
potable water supply from the District to the Town is a wholesale water service agreement previously
entered into by the District and the City of Fort Worth and is supplemented by groundwater from four
District wells. Three of these wells are from the Paluxy aquifer and one is from the Trinity aquifer.
The water consumption data from the District's master meter identifies water use patterns within the
District combined with those from the Town. Peak water demand occurs in the summer months,
reflecting increased water utilized for landscape irrigation. This demand occurs in different months and
varies by as much as 30% from one year to the next, indicating demand is sensitive to rainfall variations
(i.e., customers vary their demand for irrigation water based upon landscape needs).
6. WATER AND WASTEWATER UTILITY SYSTEM PROFILE
A complete Water Conservation Utility Profile, TWDB Form WRD-264 for the Town is provided in
Appendix A, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein.
7. PUBLIC EDUCATION
The Town and District periodically provide information to the public regarding water conservation
generally, and regarding this Plan specifically. Information furnished includes information about the
conditions under which each stage of the Plan is to be initiated or terminated and the drought response
measures to be implemented in each stage.
The Town and District will continue to promote water conservation and assist residents in practicing
water conservation techniques by informing the public in a variety of ways including:
• Water conservation literature will be distributed at the Town's offices
• Direct mail notification when the Plan is approved or amended
• New customers will receive conservation information
• Bill inserts and listing of previous 12 month's usage on bills
April 21, 2014 Town of Trophy Club Water Conservation Plan Page 5
• Website information and links
• Articles in the Town and neighborhood newsletters
• Signs posted at entrances to the Town
8. PLUMBING CODES
The Town has adopted the International Plumbing Code, 2003 Edition, which requires the use of water
saving fixtures to be installed in new construction and in the replacement of plumbing in existing
structures.
9. REBATE AND RETROFIT PROGRAMS
The Town through its agreement with the District will educate the residents, plumbers, and contractors
on the benefits of retrofitting existing facilities with water saving devices. This program will be
encompassed in the educational and informational programs utilized by the Town and District.
10. UNIVERSAL METERING
The supply line from the City of Fort Worth, wells, customer locations, and District water use facilities are
metered. All water supply meters are calibrated annually to ensure accuracy within plus or minus 5%. All
customer accounts are metered and read monthly. The District has converted 95% of all customer
meters to smart meters that can be data logged to assist customers in identifying the presence of leaks.
Additionally, the District's meter reading software allows for downloading a list of customers whose
meters have not stopped consuming water for a full hour over a twenty four hour period. The list is used
to generate a postcard to the customer letting them know there could possibly be a leak in their private
plumbing.
The Town through its agreement with the District will continue to provide a water meter preventive
maintenance program, wherein testing, repairs, and replacement are performed in accordance with
American Water Works Association (AWWA) standards.
11. WATER CONSERVING LANDSCAPE
April 21, 2014 Town of Trophy Club Water Conservation Plan Page 6
The Town through its agreement with the District will provide information through the public education
program to homeowners, business owners, landscape architects, and irrigation contractors about the
methods and benefits of water conserving landscaping practices and devices. The following methods will
be encouraged.
• The use of low water consuming plants and grasses for landscaping.
• The use of drip irrigation systems when possible or other water conserving irrigation systems that
utilize efficient sprinklers
• The use of ornamental fountains that recycle water and use a minimum amount of water.
12. RATE STRUCTURES FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER
Water conservation is promoted by the Town and District using an inverted block rate structure. This
structure allows for higher usage customers to pay increasing rates based on usage tiers. Conservation
water rates have been in place for many years and will continue to be utilized to promote the water
conservation efforts. The District's rate structure applies to all customers of the Town and is identified in
Appendix B, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein..
13. UNACCOUNTED FOR WATER USE, LEAK DETECTION, AND WATER AUDITS
Town through its agreement with the District has aggressively implemented a leak detection and repair
program and has in inventory all necessary repair materials needed to ensure prompt repairs of all leaks
detected or reported. Visual inspections of the system on routinely performed and documented in
operator's logs. Additionally, reported leaks are tracked through the utility automated work order
system and are addressed within twenty-four hours of receiving a report. Town and District customers
can submit service requests online through the District 's website or contact the District office 24 hours
daily.
A monthly water loss report provides and effective tracking system of metered production, metered
consumption, accounted water losses, and unaccountable water loss. The Town through its agreement
with the District District maintains records of unmetered water usage including water used for fire
fighting, water line flushing and repairs, and water use in infrastructure construction. The District
maintains an annual unaccountable rate of 8% which meets the American Water Works Association's
recommended rate of less than 10%.
April 21, 2014 Town of Trophy Club Water Conservation Plan Page 7
14. RECYCLING AND REUSE
The District provides 100% of treated effluent during the summer months and approximately 75% of
treated effluent during the winter months to the Trophy Club Country Club for irrigation of its golf
course.
