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 " customers. This Plan also applies to all persons or entities that are directly served by the Town of Trophy Club (the "Town") pursuant to an agreement between the Town and District to provide wholesale water supply and operational services to designated areas of the Town, that are subject to the payment of Town rates for retail water service and known as Trophy Club Public Improvement District No. 1 (hereinafter the "PID"). All such persons and entities are subject to the water conservation and drought April 21, 2014 Town of Trophy Club Water Conservation Plan Page 3 contingency requirements promulgated by the Town. The Town of Trophy Club is required through its contract with the District to adopt its own Water Conservation and Drought Contingency Plans and to provide a copy of its adopted or amended plans to the District. For purposes of this Plan, it shall be presumed that a person, corporation, or association in whose name service was last billed and who is receiving the use or economic benefit of water provided by the Town has knowingly made, caused, used, or permitted the use of water received from the Town . 3. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT Opportunity for the public to provide input into the preparation of this Plan was provided by the Town Council of the Town by means of a public meeting regarding the adoption of this Plan. At the meeting, interested members of the public were given the opportunity to provide input regarding the contents and requirements of this Plan. Additionally, the Plan is posted on the Town website and public comments are accepted via email or through written submittals. 4. WATER CONSERVATION PLAN GOALS The Town strives to achieve significant conservation savings without burdening its customers with extra costs. By generating water savings now, the Town recognizes long-term benefits to its customers through extended life of the water supplies and extended life of water system infrastructure. Under this Plan the Town seeks to achieve a 5% reduction in water consumption per person in the next five (5) years and a 10% reduction in water consumption per person over the next ten (10) years. 2013 Reduction Reduction Gallons Per Goal by Goal by Capita Per 2018 2023 Day Usage 5% 10% 211 gpcd 201 gpcd 190 gpcd 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. 15. IMPLEMENTATION AND ENFORCEMENT The Town Manager will administer and enforce this Plan, and will oversee and be responsible for the execution and implementation of all elements of this Plan. The District Manager through its agreement with the Town shall keep adequate records for Plan verification and shall report to the Board of Directors of the District and the Town Council regarding actions taken and which need to be taken under this Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, the District Manager shall advise the Town Manager and the Mayor of Trophy Club (or if the Mayor is unavailable to receive notification, another member of the Town Council) as soon as reasonably practicable when a particular Trigger Condition has been reached under the Drought Plan and when a particular drought condition no longer exists. The District's Resolution adopting its plan is included in Exhibit 2, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated hereing. The Town shall also adopt this Plan by approved of a Resolution of the Town Council. 16. MONITORING AND REPORTING The District Manager through its agreement with the District shall submit monthly reports to the Town Manager and Town Council showing water pumped and water sold by month for the previous 12 months. Additionally, the Town Manager will conduct an annual audit to determine unaccounted water losses for the previous calendar year and shall report annually to the Town Council and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and/or the Texas Water development Board (TWDB) if required by regulations.
