Program Overview
Assembly Bill (AB) 1668 and Senate Bill (SB) 606, also known as the Making Conservation a California Way of Life Framework, or Conservation Framework, requires each Urban Water Supplier to calculate and report their Urban Water Use Objective and to stay within their calculated annual water budget. Additionally, the Conservation Framework includes commercial, industrial, and institutional (CII) non-volumetric Performance Measures including CII customer account classifications, thresholds for converting mixed CII meters to DIMs or in lieu technologies, CII best management practices (BMPs), and identification of and information sharing with disclosable buildings.
To assist Orange County Water Suppliers (hereafter Participant Agency or Participant Agencies), MWDOC has entered into an Agreement with Environmental Incentives (EI) and arranged for Metropolitan funding and United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) funding, where applicable, to provide technical assistance for compliance with the Conservation Framework. This Conservation Framework Technical Assistance Program (TAP) includes required tasks as well as optional tasks as outlined in this addendum. The available tasks are summarized below, including the associated price range per task.
