Discuss and take appropriate action regarding establishing a Water Conservation Program.
Body
In May of 2009, MUD 1 adopted an updated Drought Contingency Plan, which is attached for your review.
This Plan provides for the declaration of various water usage restrictions during times of water shortage and
drought. The Plan restricts water usage during a time when Stage 1, Stage 2, or Stage 3 drought conditions
are declared by the City of Fort Worth and/or MUD1. MUDs are required under Section 11.1272 of the Texas
Water Code as well as under Texas Administrative Code Title 30, Part 1, Chapter 288, Subchapter B, Rule
288.20 and Rule 288.22, to periodically update/revise thier Drought Contingency Plan. MUD1 requested that
the Town adopt an ordinance.
In June of 2009, the Town Council approved an Ordinance, adopting the restrictions of the MUD 1's Drought
Contingency Plan. Additionally, this Ordinance allows the Town to issue citations for violations of the Plan.
The Plan authorizes MUD1 to impose civil penalties for violations.
Joint Session of Town Council & MUD1 12 of 58 Meeting Date: December 7, 2010
Revised Drought Contingency Plan
for
Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1
and
Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 2
~ TCMUD 1 & TCMUD 2 ~
Section I: Declaration of Policy Purpose, and Intent
The purpose of this Drought Contingency and Emergency Water Management Plan
(subsequently referred to as the Plan) is as follows:
• To conserve the available water supply in times of drought and emergency
• To maintain supplies for domestic water use, sanitation, and fire protection
• To protect and preserve public health, welfare, and safety
• To minimize the adverse impacts of water supply shortages
• To minimize the adverse impacts of emergency water supply conditions
Water uses regulated or prohibited under this Plan are considered to be non‐essential
and continuation of such uses during times of water shortage or other emergency
water supply conditions are deemed to constitute a waste of water which subjects
the offender(s) to penalties, as defined in Section X (Enforcement) of this Plan.
Section II: Public Involvement
Opportunity of the public to provide input into the preparation of the Plan was
provided by TCMUD 1 & 2 by means of one (1) public meeting to accept input on the
Plan.
Section III: Public Education
TCMUD 1 & 2 will periodically provide the public with information about the Plan,
including 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. This information will be provided by means of press releases, posting of
the Plan on MUD webpage, and via utility bill messages and/or inserts.

Section IV: Coordination with Regional Water Planning Groups

Goal for Use Reduction for Stage 1
The goal for water‐use reduction under Stage 1, Water Watch, is five percent (5%). If
circumstances warrant or if required by the City of Fort Worth, the District Manager or
his/her official designee, can set a goal for greater water use reduction.
All Water Users
• Initiate mandatory restrictions to prohibit non‐essential water use as follows:

lots, tennis courts, patios, or other impervious surfaces, except to
alleviate an immediate health or safety hazard.

address to a twice per week schedule as outlined below. This includes
landscape watering of parks, golf courses, and sports fields. Wholesale
customers may use a different watering schedule than the one below as long
as it limits each service address to a twice per week schedule; however, use of
the same schedule would simplify the messages passed to customers through
the news media.
o Residential addresses ending in an even number (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8) may
water on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
o Residential addresses ending in an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7 or 9) may

Joint Session of Town Council & MUD1 22 of 58 Meeting Date: December 7, 2010
to once per week schedule; however, use of the same schedule would simplify
the messages passed to customers through the news media.
Exceptions:

hose; or using a soaker hose or drip irrigation system placed within 24‐
inches of the foundation that does not produce a spray of water above

of the facilities have been established in consideration of municipal or county recreational
facilities, whether existing or proposed, that serve or will serve the area in which the district
is located.

the district;
(2) emphasize and encourage the secondary goal of financing recreational facilities; and
(3) encourage the conveyance of land to be used for recreational facilities.

Summit Cove to 100 Municipal Drive (Admin Bldg.).
Body
Fire Station Project
After one of our first site meetings with the Project Manager, Architect and Staff, the idea was addressed as to
the width of Municipal Drive and its condition. From Summit Cove to the Municipal complex, the street width
is 18’2”. The standard width is 21’8”. Also addressed in this observation was the driveway tie in to Municipal
Drive. The Town Engineer stated there was no way to tie in this expansion (3’8”) to the street without some
type of repairs. The estimated project cost for these repairs will be in the range of $40,000. This estimate was
given so that we as staff could bring it to both the Council and Board for funding direction.
