Consultation
Consult with Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California and the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality
Control Board (RWQCB) to: Maintain groundwater recharge areas to protect water quality; Reduce the amount of water used for landscaping and increase use of native and drought tolerant plants; Encourage the production, and use of
recycled water for landscaping; Maintain water quality
objectives for urban runoff; Comply with all provisions of the NPDES permit, and support regional efforts by the Los Angeles RWQCB to improve and protect surface water
quality.
Ongoing BWP continuously plans and analyzes existing and potential potable water uses that can be feasibly
replaced with recycled water. Per City Ordiance, recycled water use is required for landscape irrigation and
evaporative cooling when the custormer's parcel is close to our adjacent toa recycled water main. BWP offers
monetary rebates for replacing turf grass with drought
resistant landscape and hosts a water‐wise gardening
website which promotes the usage of native and drought
tolerant plants.

Coordinator
Prepare a Burbank2035 Sustainability Element to provide comprehensive direction regarding how best to incorporate sustainability in all City policies and operations. To ensure quality and efficiency in implementing City sustainability policies, it is important that the City identifies an internal resource person with dedicated job‐hours to carry out the GGRP and Sustainability Element. The City will establish a Sustainability Coordinator position to manage
interdepartmental efforts and the work of the Sustainable Burbank Commission to prioritize and implement
sustainability in all City policies and operations.
2015 The City is updating the GGRP and prioritizing
