2020 Coachella Valley Regional Urban Water Management Plan 8-31
The District implements programs on leak detection and repair, metering, meter replacement, system flushing, reservoir cleaning and maintenance, valve maintenance and mapping. The District continued reviewing distribution system operational procedures and maintenance practices with appropriate field and administrative staff, as detailed in the 2004 Water Conservation Master Plan. These measures will ensure system reliability. The hydrant flushing program will be reviewed for its scope and timing, as well as to determine how much water is lost during flushing.

The Desert Willow waterline replacement project included 8,200 linear feet of 8-inch ductile iron pipe which will replace aging 8-inch PVC water lines, and 153 service line replacements. In 2010 MSWD saw approximately 800 service line leak which triggered a service line replacement program. On average MSWD budgeted $100,000-$120,000 annually to replace poly service lines. In 2020, MSWD was seeing approximate 230 service line leaks annually. Over the past eight years, MSWD has also implemented seismic valve controls on the Districts reservoirs to mitigate water loss during a sizable earthquake event.

MSWD also implemented additional water loss tracking at well sites with the installation of flow meters on the pump to waste lines for each well. Most wells will also discharge to drywells or ponds onsite allowing water to percolate back into the groundwater aquifer in lieu of running off the well sites.

In 2019, MSWD began a system wide advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) program. Since deploying the AMI system, the District has seen a substantial decrease in calls to deploy a technician to the property to check the meter for high bill calls or the check reads as the District has daily/hourly flow data available through the Neptune 360 dashboard. The system allows District staff to resolve identify issues related to high consumption and resolve them quickly with customers.

8.9.2.6 Water Conservation Program Coordination and Staffing Support The District has designated the Programs and Public Affairs Associate responsible for implementing both the conservation master plan as well as monitoring progress in fulfilling DMMs and a state conservation order.

The District continues to be involved in water conservation programs and coordinates with the four other water agencies of the Coachella Valley through the Coachella Valley Regional Water Management Group and CV Water Counts ( www.cvwatercounts.com) regional conservation group.

8.9.2.7 Other Demand Management Measures
The District in concert with the SCE, and SCGC has developed a number of consumption reduction/ conservation program methods for residential, landscape, and commercial/ industrial/institutional customers that include:
 Water Use Surveys/Audits
 Rebates or Giveaways of Plumbing Fixtures and Devices  Rebate Programs including:
o Turf conversion
o High Efficiency Toilet rebates
 Leak detection and monitoring program
 Evaporative cooler maintenance and assessment program Large landscape irrigation surveys are offered to cost effectively achieve quantifiable water savings. The audits are performed in conjunction with the District’s Efficient Landscaping Guidelines, adopted by the District board on December 20, 2004. The guidelines establish effective water efficient landscape requirements for newly installed and rehabilitated landscapes, as well as promote water conservation through climate appropriate plant material and efficient irrigation practices.

Section 0.00.040 of the District’s Landscaping Guidelines outlines provisions for landscape water audits.

Under the Guidelines, all landscaped areas which exceed 1.0 acre (43,560 square feet), including golf courses, green belts, common areas, multifamily housing, schools, businesses, public works, parks, and cemeteries, may be subject to a landscape irrigation audit at the discretion of the District if the District determines that the annual maximum applied water allowance has been exceeded for a minimum of 2 consecutive years. At a minimum, the audit will be conducted by a certified landscape irrigation auditor and

2020 Coachella Valley Regional Urban Water Management Plan 8-32
shall be in accordance with the California Landscape Irrigation Auditor Handbook, the entire document which is hereby incorporated by reference.

The Guidelines also require an irrigation design plan, which includes the installation of separate landscape water meters for all projects except for single-family homes or any project with a landscaped area of less than 2,500 square feet. Automatic control systems shall be required for all irrigation systems and must be able to accommodate all aspects of the design. Mechanical irrigation controllers are prohibited. Plants that require different amounts of water shall be irrigated by separate valves. If one valve is used for a given area, only plants with similar water use shall be used in that area. Anti-drain valves shall be installed in strategic points to prevent low-head drainage. Sprinkler heads shall have application rates appropriate to the plant water use requirements within each control valve circuit. Scheduling aids, including soil moisture sensing devices and ET controllers, are required and recommended, respectively. Emitters shall have applications rates appropriate to the plant water use requirements within each control valve circuit.

Since early 2002, the District has been an active participant along with various Coachella Valley area public agencies and private sector organizations to develop a standardized landscape ordinance appropriate to the arid desert climate. The resulting Coachella Valley-Wide Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (Ordinance No.1302 adopted by CVWD on March 25, 2003) is designed to ensure consistency of landscape water efficiency standards, and applies to new and rehabilitated landscapes within the Valley. A key feature of the Ordinance is a 25 percent reduction in landscape water use. This savings is achieved by changing the plant water-use coefficient factor in the formula originally established by AB 325 from 0.8 to 0.6. With this ordinance, new landscaping for any parcel in the Coachella Valley can use no more than 60 percent of the water required for an equivalent sized parcel completely planted in grass.

The City of Desert Hot Springs adopted the District’s Efficient Landscaping Guidelines, and incorporated them into its Ordinance No. 2005-02, which establishes a Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance within the City’s boundaries. The Ordinance was updated and revised in 2009 and subsequently readopted again by the City. The City’s Ordinance directly follows the District’s Ordinance as applicable to the City’s jurisdiction. In other jurisdictions served by the District, the Riverside County Planning Department and the City of Palm Springs require compliance with the District’s Landscaping Guidelines as a condition of new building permits and/or certificates for occupancy.

The adoption of the District’s Guidelines by the City of Desert Hot Springs, and its consistency with CVWD and City’s water conservation measures, demonstrates the District’s commitment to regional collaboration and support for the implementation of large landscape conservation programs.

The District’s Water Conservation Master Plan sets forth an initiative to require water efficient practices in landscape plans and irrigation systems of all new or substantially rehabilitated residential and commercial development projects.

In late 2003, the District assumed a leadership role in landscape water conservation by partnering with a local builder to develop a series of cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing landscape design options for the builder’s new residential tract. The landscape solutions emphasized the use of native desert and other water-conserving plants, in concert with water efficient irrigation systems. A key goal of this joint venture was to satisfy the maximum applied water allowance budget established by the Coachella Valley-Wide Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. The landscape designs jointly developed between the District and the builder also reflect several factors important to homeowners, including the style of landscaping, the maintenance demands and water use of a particular design option, and cost. This collaborative effort has resulted in over 30 percent of the homes in Phase 1 of the project featuring water wise landscaping. The District’s leadership and innovation was recognized by the water community when the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) presented the District with the Theodore Roosevelt Environmental Award in 2004 for the Lifestyle Landscaping Program.

The District was part of the Riverside County Conservation Task Force to create the Riverside County Water Use Efficiency Ordinance. The District was an active member of the Task Force to encourage approval and adoption of the ordinance among stakeholders, including County Supervisors, planning agencies, cities, and water districts. To date, a water budget approach has been recommended to allow customers flexibility and does not dictate design implementation. In addition, the Task Force evaluated the use and inclusion of Weather Based Irrigation Controllers (WBIC), enforcement of the Ordinance, support

2020 Coachella Valley Regional Urban Water Management Plan 8-33
from stakeholders, and emphasis on education as key components of the implementation. The Task Force developed the Model (draft) Ordinance in 2008/09 with compliance by local cities by January 1, 2010.

The District provides resources to assist residents in planning and implementing a desert- friendly landscape. Residents within the District service area are provided with the steps for water conservation measures in their homes and businesses under the following three categories of land uses: Residential Landscape Makeover, Landscape Planning (in-fill projects which require a building permit), and Landscape Planning (tract projects). The steps for each category are summarized below.

The District continues to recommend water-wise and desert-friendly plant materials in homes and businesses. Desert-friendly landscape styles include the following: Arid, Semi-Arid, and Lush & Efficient.

Arid landscapes include slower growing, low water use plant materials and often incorporate decorative rock or mulch into the landscape design. A 2000-square foot, Arid landscape design will use about 29,000 gallons of water per year. Semi-Arid landscapes use plant materials similar to Arid, but may also include a limited turf area for pets and children, if needed.

The Semi-Arid style may include a mix of low and medium water-use plants. A 2000 square foot, Semi-Arid landscape will use about 38,000 gallons of water per year. Lush & Efficient landscapes may incorporate high water use plants or a larger amount of grass. Careful, ongoing maintenance of the irrigation system is a must, as well as shaping the turf areas to conform to sprinkler patterns and avoid runoff. A 2000 square foot, Lush & Efficient landscape will use about 56,000 gallons of water per year. A turf lawn requires heavy maintenance and uses about three times more water than the Semi-Arid landscape. Turf lawns also look out of place, and do not blend in with the desert’s natural beauty. A 2,000 square foot turf landscape will use about 96,000 gallons of water per year.

The District also refers its service area residents to the following links for further information:

 MSWD Mission: conservation - Plant Guide provides a custom search tool for water efficient plants and provides calculation on water use and other helpful information for turf replacement and new landscaping, at: http://topratedms.azurewebsites.net/ On its website, the District also provides a water budget calculator to assist residents in figuring out what their water allowance is and how the landscape alternatives fit into the allowance. The District provides detailed instruction on how to use the calculator, including determining square footage of landscape and annual maximum water allowance for landscape. Based on the calculations, a type of irrigation will be suggested, for example, drip irrigation (non-turf), and the recommended area in which to use spray irrigation.

The District then provides a step by step process for selecting the types of plants that will meet the recommended irrigation methods and landscape size. The water use calculator estimates the amount of water that the selected landscape and plant materials will use on an annual basis. Next, the District provides recommendations on design and installation of an efficient irrigation system. The District encourages public consultation of the District staff as a source of information.

8.9.3 Implementation
The majority of the water conservation programs implemented within the District’s service area have been conducted in coordination with the Southern California Gas Company. The following represents the District’s best understanding of the nature and extent of these programs over the past five years.

The Mission Springs LivingWise® Program, a school-based energy efficiency education program, is designed to generate immediate and long-term resource savings by bringing interactive, real-world education home to students and their families.

MSWD, amongst other Coachella Valley water agencies, are part of CV Water Counts, a nonprofit collaborative that was formed to focus on water conservation, through awareness and education programs for Coachella Valley residents, businesses and government. In February 2020, CV Water Counts reported that since June 2015, the Coachella Valley has saved more than 50 billion gallons of water.

Additionally, in 2015-2016 MSWD implemented a Turf Rebate Program to incentivize the removal of high water consuming turf grass (and/or significant groundcover plant materials that are similar in water demand) and replaced it with desert-friendly, water-efficient landscaping. The program was available to all MSWD customers; including a residential component for single family homes, a commercial component that included for-profit and non-profit businesses and multi-family housing, and a public-properties component included all municipal properties and those considered public, such as parks, medians, government buildings, schools and similar properties. The intent was to replace turf with aesthetically pleasing desert landscaping and reduce water consumption and water runoff as well as increase education about water conservation and desert friendly landscaping. Residents could earn up to $3,000 in rebate per project and commercial property owners could receive up to $10,000 per project. Each project would receive $2 per square foot of turf removed and were required to pay a minimum of 35% of the project expenses. As demand is again increasing for such a program, MSWD is opening it back up in Spring 2021.

Also in 2016, MSWD implemented a Plumbing Retrofit Rebate Program for the sole purpose of reducing domestic water consumption through incentivizing the installation of water efficient plumbing fixtures, such as replacing toilets that used at least 3 gallons per flush and replacing shower heads and faucet aerators with “WaterSense” approved fixtures. The plumbing program was open to residential, multi-family and commercial customers. Beginning in 2020, MSWD has opened up the Plumbing Retrofit Rebate Program to provide customers with a greater opportunity to participate in efficient water use.

Lastly, MSWD also completed an Evaporative Cooler and Maintenance Program in 2016 to further combat water waste. Evaporative coolers can use between 3 and 15 gallons per hour and the program was aimed at providing maintenance to existing systems and disseminating information to residents on efficient use.

A summary of MSWD conservation DMMs for the years 2016 through 2020 is shown in Table 8-27.

8.9.3.1 Public Education and Outreach
The extent of the District’s involvement in programs for public education and outreach has not been quantified. As the program matures and the program is further developed, the District will have a better understanding of the extent of the overall program.

The District runs a continual advertising campaign focusing on conservation. These advertisements appear in both regular as well as periodic publications. Public education and outreach also extend to social media outlets such as Facebook, Nextdoor, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and the CV Water Counts website and social media outlets.

The Desert Hot Springs community has three Groundwater Guardian Teams and a Groundwater Guardian Affiliate. Designation as a Groundwater Guardian Community is presented by The Groundwater Foundation to communities which demonstrate an ongoing participatory approach to protecting groundwater resources.

8.9.3.2 Programs to Assess and Manage Distribution System Real Loss As previously stated, the District conducts monthly monitoring of all water services. In addition, daily inspection of all facilities such as pump stations, wells, reservoirs, valve vaults, etc., is completed. On an annual basis, visual inspection of all easements and pipeline alignments is accomplished.

A budgeted service line replacement program has been ongoing since 2010.

The extent of the District’s involvement in programs to assess and manage distribution losses has not been quantified. As the program matures and the program is developed, the District will have a better understanding of the extent of the overall program.

8.9.4 Implementation to Achieve Water Use Targets
Through the implementation of District water conservation ordinances and measures, total per-capita District water use has significantly dropped from 308.1 GPCD in 2005 to 216.0 GPCD in 2010 to 172.1 GPCD in 2015 (a reduction of 44.1% since 2005). Residential per-capita District water use has also significantly dropped from 189.8 GPCD in 2005 to 160.4 GPCD in 2010 to 121.1 GPCD in 2015 (a reduction of 36.2% since 2005). MSWD has surpassed the required 20% reduction for 2020.

Many of the water conservation measures already implemented and being implemented by District customers such as turf removal, conversion to drought resistance landscapes, turf replacement, conversion to more efficient irrigation systems and ET-based irrigation controllers, retrofits to toilets and plumbing fixtures, implementation of weather-based irrigation controllers, AMI meters, etc. will have permanent effects on water use (reduction) in the future.

Lower per-capita water use is projected for new housing development (relative to existing housing and development) due to new building codes and landscape ordinances. California’s newly adopted green building code will have a direct impact on home building and water conservation in the State. The new code aims to cut indoor water consumption by at least 20%, primarily through more efficient indoor water

2020 Coachella Valley Regional Urban Water Management Plan 8-36
fixtures. For a three-bedroom house, the saving is estimated to be about 10,000 gallons of water per year, on average.

The California Green Building program also includes outdoor water conservation by reducing the area devoted to high-irrigation lawns and plants, emphasizing natural drought-tolerant plantings, and installing irrigation controls that respond to local weather conditions. This is consistent with the District’s 2009 Water Efficient Landscaping Guidelines and the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO), which was adopted by the State on July 15, 2015 and was adopted by the City of Desert Hot Springs.

8.9.5 Water Use Objectives (Future Requirements)
Updated water use objectives are being developed for water suppliers to meet the requirements of the CWC. The final water use objectives for MSWD have not yet been determined. The DMMs described in this section are expected to align with MSWD’s efforts to comply with these objectives when they are finalized.

Plan Adoption, Submittal, and Implementation
This section includes a discussion of MSWD’s process for adopting, submitting, and implementing the RUWMP and MSWD’s WSCP.

8.10.1 Inclusion of All 2020 Data
The District is reporting on a calendar year basis. This report includes completed data for calendar year 2020.

8.10.2 Notice of Public Hearing
There are two audiences to be noticed for the public hearing; cities and counties, and the public.

8.10.3 Public Hearing and Adoption
The District held a public hearing on June 21, 2021 to hear public comment and consider adopting this RUWMP and MSWD’s WSCP. As part of the public hearing, the District provided information on its baseline values, water use targets, and implementation plan required in the Water Conservation Act of 2009.

The public hearing on the UWMP took place before the adoption of the UWMP, which allowed the District the opportunity to modify the UWMP in response to public input before adoption.

The District adopt the RUWMP and MSWD’s WSCP before submitting them to DWR. A copy of the District’s adoption resolution is included in Appendix H.

8.10.4 Plan Submittal
The RUWMP and MSWD’s WSCP will be submitted to DWR within 30 days of adoption and by July 1, 2021. UWMP submittal will be done electronically through WUEdata, an online submittal tool.

Not later than 30 days after adoption, the District will submit a CD or hardcopy of the adopted UWMP to the California State Library.

8.10.5 Public Availability
Not later than 30 days after filing a copy of the RUWMP and MSWD’s WSCP with DWR, the District will make the plans available for public review during normal business hours by placing a copy of the UWMP at the front desk of the District’s office, and by posting the UWMP on the District’s website for public viewing.

8.10.6 Notification to Public Utilities Commission
MSWD is not regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission, and therefore this section is not applicable.

8.10.7 Amending an Adopted UWMP or Water Shortage Contingency Plan If the District amends the adopted RUWMP or MSWD’s WSCP, each of the steps for notification, public hearing, adoption, and submittal will also be followed for the amended plan.

2020 Coachella Valley Regional Urban Water Management Plan 9-1

Introduction
The Myoma Dunes Mutual Water Company (MDMWC) has participated in the Coachella Valley Regional UWMP to meet its reporting requirements for 2020. This chapter describes information specific to MDMWC and its water use efficiency programs.

Updates to the California Water Code (CWC) for the 2020 reporting cycle are discussed in Chapter 1 of the RUWMP.

9.1.1 Chapter Organization

9.1.2 UWMPs in Relation to Other Efforts
The related planning efforts by agencies in the Coachella Valley are described in Chapter 2 of the RUWMP.

9.1.3 UWMPs and Grant or Loan Eligibility
The CWC requires urban water suppliers to have a current UWMP, deemed sufficient at addressing the CWC requirements by DWR, on file with DWR in order for the urban water suppliers to be eligible for any water management grant or loan administered by DWR. In addition, the UWMP Act requires a retail water agency to meet its 2020 Compliance Urban Water Use Target and report compliance in the 2020 UWMP.

9.1.4 Demonstration of Consistency with the Delta Plan for Participants in Covered Actions The participating agencies’ approach to demonstrating reduced reliance on the Delta is described in Chapter 3 of the RUWMP.

2020 Coachella Valley Regional Urban Water Management Plan 9-2

Plan Preparation
This section provides information on MDMWC’s process for developing this RUWMP, including efforts in coordination and outreach.

9.2.1 Plan Preparation
Because MDMWC supplies over 3,000 acre-feet per year (AFY) of water for retail purposes, it is considered an “urban retail water supplier” according to the CWC, and therefore must prepare a 2020 UWMP.

9.2.2 Basis for Preparing a Plan
MDMWC operates one Public Water System (PWS) as defined by the California Health and Safety Code.

Public Water Systems are regulated by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB, or Board), Division of Drinking Water (DDW). MDMWC’s PWS information is shown in Table 9-1.

9.2.3 Regional Planning
MDMWC is participating in the Coachella Valley Regional UWMP with five other water agencies, as described in Chapter 2 of the RUWMP.

9.2.4 Individual or Regional Planning and Compliance MDMWC is reporting on SB X7-7 compliance as an individual agency; a regional alliance was not used.

9.2.5 Fiscal or Calendar Year and Units of Measure
MDMWC does not sell wholesale water and is a retail agency. This report was prepared using calendar years and acre-feet as a measure of water.

9.2.6 Coordination and Outreach
MDMWC has coordinated with other agencies in the development of this plan. This coordination is described in Chapter 2 of the RUWMP. MDMWC does not rely upon water supply from a wholesale agency, as supply is provided exclusively from MDMWC groundwater wells.

2020 Coachella Valley Regional Urban Water Management Plan 9-3
System Description
This section includes a description of MDMWC’s service area, climate, and population projections.

9.3.1 General Description
The Myoma Dunes Mutual Water Company (MDMWC) is a retail urban water supplier that was established in 1953 to provide potable water service to the community of Bermuda Dunes. MDMWC has grown over the years, seeing housing booms in the mid-1980s, late 1990s, and mid-2000s, and it now provides service to more than 2,500 customers in the Bermuda Dunes area. MDMWC is a mutual water company that is governed by a four-member Board of Directors.

MDMWC’s service area is located within the Coachella Valley in Southern California. MDMWC’s service area is approximately 2.6 square miles, generally bounded by the I-10 Freeway to the north, Washington Street to the west, Fred Waring Drive to the south, and Jefferson Street to the east. There is a small area of homes in the center of the MDMWC service area that is served by Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD).

The service area is predominantly comprised of single-family residential demands, with outdoor water use being a major component of this demand category. The service area also includes multi- family residential, commercial, and landscape irrigation demands. Currently, the Bermuda Dunes Country Club (BDCC) and Bermuda Dunes Airport irrigation demands are met with their own private wells, not MDMWC potable water.

The service area is near build-out, with some small pockets of potential development, more so towards the northern and western edges of the service area.

MDMWC serves its customers through a network of pressurized water distribution facilities. Myoma's water supply source consists solely of groundwater from the Indio Subbasin. Water is extracted via five active groundwater wells with a total nominal production capacity of 10,300 gallons per minute (gpm). Two of the wells pump directly into two respective one-million-gallon reservoirs, which serve as forebays to the distribution system. Two booster stations with nominal capacities totaling 7,500 gallons per minute deliver water from the forebays into the distribution system. The other three wells pump directly into the distribution system. The distribution system consists of a single pressure zone that is operated at pressures from approximately 70 to 100 pounds per square inch (psi). Current treatment consists of wellhead chlorine injection. MDMWC is not interconnected with any other water purveyor and is completely reliant upon its own groundwater well supply and storage.

9.3.2 Service Area Boundary Maps
MDMWC’s service area boundary is shown in Figure 9-1. MDMWC only provides potable water service, and therefore, has a single service area boundary. No changes have been made to the service area since the beginning of the baseline period (1995) through 2020.

9.3.3 Service Area Climate
The Coachella Valley has a unique climate due to it being situated between two mountain ranges, characterized as arid with year-round warm temperatures and relatively high winds. Precipitation is minimal, typically occurring during the winter months.

Monthly climate data are summarized in Table 9-2 and are shown in Figure 9-2.

9.3.4 Service Area Population and Demographics
MDMWC serves the majority of Bermuda Dunes, which is a Census-Designated Place (CDP) in Riverside County, and a small portion of the City of La Quinta. Because MDMWC’s service area is not substantially the same as a city or CDP, the DWR Population Tool methodology has been used for estimating MDMWC’s current and historical service area population. DWR’s Population Tool utilizes U.S. Census data and an electronic map of MDMWC’s service area to obtain population data for census years. Using the number of service connections, the tool calculates the population for the non-census years.

Estimates of future population within the MDMWC service area were made using projections prepared by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG).

Current and projected populations within MDMWC’s service area are presented in Table 9-3.

Table 9-3. DWR 3-1R Current and Projected Population

The Coachella Valley region has a large seasonal population, with the majority of the influx typically occurring during the months of November to April. This seasonal population can be generally attributed to persons that wish to enjoy the mild winters of the Coachella Valley, as well as other recreational and tourist attractions.

In terms of water demand impacts, seasonal residents may not be counted toward census population, but often still use water throughout the year for landscape irrigation. This phenomenon can result in higher than typical per capita water usage. According to the 2014-2019 American Community Survey (ACS) 5- Year Estimates, of the 2,816 housing units in the Bermuda Dunes CDP, 1,014 of these (36 percent) were vacant, and 844 of these vacant units (83 percent) were used for seasonal, recreational, or occasional use.

For the City of La Quinta, of the 25,990 housing units, 10,042 (39 percent) were vacant, with 9,426 (94 percent) used for seasonal, recreational, or occasional use.

A summary of the demographics of the Bermuda Dunes CDP and the City of La Quinta is presented in Table 9-4 and Table 9-5. Note that these values are not directly representative of MDMWC’s as its water service boundary does not directly coincide with the CDP or City boundaries.

9.3.5 Land Uses within Service Area
Land use jurisdictions with MDMWC’s service area include the City of La Quinta and Riverside County.

During its preparation of regional growth projections, SCAG gathered input and coordinated outreach with both jurisdictions. MDMWC has coordinated with these agencies to align its growth projections with local plans.

Water Use Characterization
This section describes current and projected future water use within the MDMWC service area. Although the MDMWC service area is substantially built-out, there are still many complex factors that impact water use projections such as weather, demand restrictions, housing trends, and landscaping conversions.

9.4.1 Non-Potable Versus Potable Water Use
MDMWC currently serves only potable water to its customers.

2020 Coachella Valley Regional Urban Water Management Plan 9-9

9.4.2 Past, Current, and Projected Water Use by Sector Water use for the past five calendar years has been categorized by sector in accordance with the sectors accepted by the Water Use Efficiency (WUE) data online submittal tool. MDMWC’s metering categories generally coincide with the WUE sectors. MDMWC only supplies drinking water from groundwater wells for retail consumption. MDMWC does not supply raw water or recycled water.

The water use sectors in the MDMWC service area are summarized in Table 9-6.

Table 9-6. Water Use Sectors
Sector Description
Single-Family Residential A single-family dwelling unit. A lot with a free-standing building containing one dwelling unit that may include a detached secondary dwelling.

Multi-Family Residential Multiple dwelling units contained within one building or several buildings in a single complex.

Commercial A water user that provides or distributes a product or service.

Landscape Water connections supplying water solely for landscape irrigation.

Such landscapes may be associated with multi-family, commercial, industrial, or institutional/governmental sites, but are considered a separate water use sector if the connection is solely for landscape irrigation.

Distribution System Losses Reporting of system losses is required by the CWC in the 2020 UWMPs.

Other Other metered water use that is not assigned a specific billing category, such as metered construction use, etc.

Distribution system water losses include real and apparent losses. Real losses are the physical water losses from the water distribution system as well as storage facilities, up to the point of customer consumption. Apparent losses (also known as “paper losses”) include losses due to water theft, metering inaccuracies, or data errors. Combined, these two components make up total water losses.

MDMWC water losses for the past five years been estimated using the American Water Works Association (AWWA) Method, covered in AWWA M36 – Water Audits and Loss Control Programs, utilizing the AWWA Water Audit Software (WAS). The results are summarized in Table 9-7, and the completed audits are included in Appendix G of the RUWMP.

Local agencies are currently participating in the update of the Indio Subbasin Alternate Plan Update being prepared to meet requirements of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). The participating agencies coordinated efforts with demand projections being prepared for the Indio Subbasin Alternative Plan and the Mission Creek Subbasin Alternative Plan. The demand projection approach included several steps:
 The projections were based on the regional growth forecast prepared by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) as part of their regional transportation plan. SCAG’s most recent transportation plan is referred to as Connect SoCal.13 SCAG gathered input from cities and counties throughout Southern California about expected growth and development for the next 25 years and incorporated the land use designations in each jurisdiction’s General Plan. The SCAG analysis includes estimates of population, households, and employment in each Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) in their study area14.
 Additional analysis of vacancy rates was performed to estimated baseline and projected housing units for the study area, including housing units used by seasonal residents and other part-time uses.
 Future estimates of employment were used to drive future growth in Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional (CII) demands
 Five years of customer billing data were used to develop unit demand factors. These factors have units of gallons per housing unit for residential and landscape uses and gallons per employee for CII uses.
 Water losses were estimated using water loss audits.
 Demands were adjusted for two types of conservation savings:
o Indoor passive conservation savings from the natural replacement of indoor devices

Demand projections prepared for this plan considered the incorporation of codes and standards. The draft Indio Subbasin Alternative Plan Update included modeling of anticipated future water savings due to fixture replacements. The analysis included indoor savings related to toilets, showerheads, dishwashers, clothes washers, and urinals (categorized as indoor water use) as well as outdoor water use. Indoor conservation is mainly a result of government mandated water efficiency requirements for fixtures, defined as “passive savings”. The model considers these mandates and the average useful life and replacement rates for each type of fixture based on standard industry estimates and plumbing fixture saturation studies. It assumes that all new construction complies with the plumbing codes in effect at that time and that when a device is replaced, the new device is also in compliance with the current plumbing codes. Estimated frequency of use for each type of fixture as determined by the Water Research Foundation and American Water Works Association Research Foundation were multiplied by the number of housing units to produce the total indoor passive conservation savings.

Anticipated outdoor water use savings were based on the implementation of the California Model Water Efficiency Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) which is the standard for outdoor water conservation for the state. The resulting water savings from the MWELO are estimated using an Evapotranspiration Adjustment Factor (ETAF) which adjusts the reference ET for plant requirements and irrigation efficiency. No savings were assumed from special landscape areas, such as recreational areas, as these are allotted extra water use as well as existing landscapes as these savings are not considered passive since there are incentives under conservation programs.

The anticipated savings due to these measures are summarized in Table 9-10. These savings have been incorporated into the demand projections presented in Table 9-9.

9.4.3 Worksheets and Reporting Tables
MDMWC has completed the required UWMP submittal tables and included them in Appendix D of this RUWMP.

9.4.4 Water Use for Lower Income Households
The portion of MDMWC’s service area north of Avenue 42 is considered low income housing based on the DWR’s Disadvantaged Communities (DAC) mapping tool. A DAC is a community with an annual median household income (MHI) that is less than 80 percent of the Statewide annual MHI.

Using geographic meter records, the number of connections and water use within the DAC was determined.

The connections for lower income households were estimated to be approximately 25 percent of the total residential connections in the service area. MDMWC estimates that approximately 25 percent of its demand is delivered to lower income households. This percentage is expected to remain approximately constant for future years. This demand has been included in the demand projections presented in this report.

9.4.5 Climate Change Considerations
The agencies participating in the Regional UWMP have prepared an assessment of potential climate change impacts on demand. This information is presented in Chapter 3 of the RUWMP.

2020 Coachella Valley Regional Urban Water Management Plan 9-13
SB X7-7 Baseline and Targets
MDMWC’s methods for calculating baseline and target water consumption values are described in this section. This section also documents MDMWC’s compliance with its 2020 Urban Water Use Target.

9.5.1 Wholesale Suppliers
MDMWC is not a wholesale supplier, and therefore this section is not applicable.

9.5.2 SB X7-7 Forms and Tables
MDMWC has completed the SB X7-7 2020 Compliance Form and included it in Appendix E.

9.5.3 Baseline and Target Calculations for 2020 UWMPs MDMWC calculated its baselines and targets for its 2015 UWMP, and MDMWC has not re-calculated its baselines or targets for the 2020 RUWMP.

9.5.4 Service Area Population and Gross Water Use
MDMWC serves the majority of the Bermuda Dunes CDP and a small portion of the City of La Quinta.

Because MDMWC’s service area is not substantially the same as a city or CDP (“substantially the same” defined as service area boundaries corresponding by 95 percent or more with the boundaries of a city or CDP during the baseline period), the DWR Population Tool methodology has been used for estimating MDMWC’s service area population. DWR’s Population Tool utilizes U.S. Census data and an electronic map of MDMWC’s service area to obtain population data for census years. Using the number of service connections, the tool calculates the population for the non-census years.

MDMWC’s gross water use was determined from production records. One hundred percent of MDMWC’s supply entering the distribution system is provided by groundwater wells owned and operated by MDMWC.

All groundwater wells pump from the Indio Subbasin. As MDMWC does not utilize recycled water, does not place water into long term storage, does not convey water to another urban supplier, does not deliver water for agricultural uses, and does not deliver water to industrial users, no deductions to gross water use have been made.

9.5.5 2020 Compliance Daily Per Capita Water Use (GPCD) Per capita water use has been historically high in the MDMWC service area, which may be attributed in part to the following reasons:
 Hot, dry climate with very little rainfall
 Irrigated turf yards
 Swimming pools
 Past water use habits from a historical flat water rate  Vacation homes and seasonal habitants underrepresenting service area population It should be noted that the BDCC golf course, which occupies a relatively large portion of MDMWC’s service area, irrigates with a private well supply. MDMWC only supplies potable water to BDCC’s clubhouse, restrooms, and drinking fountains.

MDMWC’s average use during the baseline period and confirmed 2020 target are shown in Table 9-12.

The reduced per capita consumption already achieved is largely expected to continue as water use habits developed during the recent drought period become more permanent, turf is replaced with more drought- tolerant landscaping, alternative water supply sources are secured, and tiered rate structures are utilized.

MDMWC’s compliance with the 2020 target is shown in Table 9-13.

9.5.6 Regional Alliance
MDMWC is complying with SB X7-7 as an individual retail agency and did not participate in a Regional Alliance.

Water Supply Characterization
This section describes and quantifies the sources of water available to MDMWC.

9.6.1 Water Supply Analysis Overview
Within the MDMWC service area, the only direct water source employed for potable urban water use is local groundwater from MDMWC wells. This groundwater is pumped from the Indio Subbasin of the Coachella Valley hydrologic basin. More information about the Indio Subbasin is presented in Chapter 3 of the RUWMP.

9.6.2 Supply Characterization
This discussion includes the types of water supply considered by DWR.

2020 Coachella Valley Regional Urban Water Management Plan 9-15

9.6.2.1 Purchased or Imported Water
MDMWC does not independently purchase, exchange, or import water from any source outside of Coachella Valley. As described in Chapter 3 of the RUWMP, imported water is used on a regional basis for groundwater replenishment.

9.6.2.2 Groundwater
Groundwater is the sole source of supply for MDMWC. MDMWC supplies are primarily from the eastern end of the Indio Subbasin. Because the Indio Subbasin is a non-adjudicated basin, MDMWC operates under overlying groundwater rights and pumps supplies from the aquifer as needed to meet demands within its service area.

MDMWC’s historical groundwater pumping is summarized in Table 9-14.

Table 9-14. DWR 6-1R Groundwater Volume Pumped (AFY)
Groundwater Type Location or Basin Name 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Alluvial Basin Indo Subbasin 3,297 3,402 3,719 3,613 3,987 - Total 3,297 3,402 3,719 3,613 3,987

9.6.2.3 Surface Water
Irrigation needs at the BDCC golf course and Bermuda Dunes Airport are currently met with private well supply. There is a planned CVWD project to serve Canal water to the BDCC for irrigation purposes to help decrease groundwater basin overdraft, which includes the construction of a new pump station and transmission main. There is also the potential for serving Bermuda Dunes Airport irrigation demands from the Canal, whose irrigation demand amounts to slightly over 20 acre-feet per year; however, there is currently no planned project.

9.6.2.4 Stormwater
MDMWC does not currently use stormwater as a water supply. Stormwater in the Coachella Valley typically percolates into the groundwater basin or is conveyed to the Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel (CVSC); however, there is some stormwater catchment at the Whitewater River GRF and other smaller recharge basins. Due to the extremely limited amount of rainfall and runoff in the region, stormwater is not currently regarded as a high priority potential water source.

9.6.2.5 Wastewater and Recycled Water
MDMWC does not possess any recycled water infrastructure and does not produce or serve any recycled water. In the immediate vicinity of MDMWC, CVWD is the only agency that is currently producing recycled water. CVWD operates five water reclamation plants (WRPs), three of which generate recycled water for irrigation of golf courses and large landscaped areas. Indio Water Authority (IWA) and Valley Sanitary District (VSD) are currently evaluating potential options for recycled water use, although no recycled water is produced at this time.

Irrigation needs at the BDCC golf course and Bermuda Dunes Airport are currently met with private well supplies. Current plans are to serve Canal water to the BDCC for irrigation purposes. There are currently no plans to provide recycled water to these customers, or to any other customer.

MDMWC does not currently provide any wastewater collection services within its service area. Roughly a third of MDMWC’s customers have wastewater collection services provided by CVWD, with the remainder on septic systems. The wastewater that is collected by CVWD is conveyed to CVWD’s WRP-7 facility,

2020 Coachella Valley Regional Urban Water Management Plan 9-16
which treats and supplies recycled water. The wastewater within the MDMWC service area that is sent to CVWD’s WRP-7 facility is not separately metered; therefore, volumes are estimated.

MDMWC does not provide any wastewater treatment service. The wastewater that is collected by CVWD is conveyed to CVWD’s WRP-7 facility, located approximately 3 miles north of MDMWC’s service area in north Indio.

Wastewater collection within the MDMWC service area is summarized in Table 9-15.

2020 Coachella Valley Regional Urban Water Management Plan 9-18
MDMWC did not use recycled water within its service area in 2020. MDMWC’s 2015 UWMP did not project the use of recycled water in 2020.

MDMWC does not have current or planned uses for recycled water primarily due to the lack of wastewater treatment capabilities within the service area. Some limited recycled water service is being provided in the surrounding area, and while water agencies in the vicinity are continuing to evaluate and plan for recycled water use, the future availability of recycled water and location of recycled water facilities with respect to MDMWC is uncertain. Costs to install wastewater treatment facilities or a dual recycled water distribution system are likely prohibitive at this time. Furthermore, the largest potential recycled water users currently utilize low cost private well supplies, with Canal water already planned as the new supply for the BDCC golf course irrigation.

9.6.2.6 Desalinated Water Opportunities
Developing new desalinated water sources for MDMWC is currently impractical for several reasons including the lack of a saline water source; the distance, costs, and lack of infrastructure for desalinated ocean water; and brine management issues. While MDMWC’s groundwater supply does not require any desalination treatment, increasing salinity in the Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin is being managed through the Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin Salt and Nutrient Management Plan, with emphasis on source control.

9.6.2.7 Water Exchanges and Transfers
MDMWC does not currently have plans to participate in direct water exchanges. Water exchanges related to the exchange of State Water Project (SWP) rights for Colorado River Water (CRW) rights for basin replenishment are handled by CVWD and Desert Water Agency (DWA).

MDMWC does not currently have plans to participate in direct water transfers. Water transfers related to basin replenishment are handled by CVWD and DWA.

MDMWC does not have any existing emergency interties. Opportunities may exist for the construction of emergency interties between MDMWC and CVWD and/or IWA based on the proximity of water distribution infrastructure; however, there are no planned projects at this time.

9.6.2.8 Future Water Projects
Because MDMWC’s service area is substantially built-out and demands have recently reduced due to drought conditions and water conservation measures, MDMWC does not have plans for substantial water supply projects within the urban water management planning horizon outside of MDMWC’s capital improvement projects that are part of regular system maintenance. The planned project to serve Canal water to the BDCC for irrigation purposes is being implemented by CVWD; therefore, specific project details are not included in this chapter.

9.6.2.9 Summary of Existing and Planned Sources of Water Existing water supply volumes are presented in Table 9-16. These figures are based on MDMWC production records for 2020. One hundred percent of the supply was from the Indio Subbasin.

Planned water supply volumes are presented in Table 9-17. As the Indio Subbasin is anticipated to be reasonably reliable for the urban water management planning horizon, the projected water supply is assumed to be equivalent to the projected water demand.

9.6.3 Submittal Tables Using Optional Planning Tool
Because MDMWCs supply availability does not vary seasonally during a typical year, MDMWC has not completed the optional planning tool that was provided by DWR.

9.6.4 Energy Use
MDMWC has compiled data to document the energy used for water management operations. MDMWC used the Total Utility Approach to estimate the energy intensity of its water management operations.

The data are summarized in Table 9-18.

9.7.1 Reliability Overview
MDMWC’s groundwater supply has historically been able to meet demands during dry periods.

Further discussion of constraints on local water resources is included in Chapter 3 of the RUWMP.

2020 Coachella Valley Regional Urban Water Management Plan 9-21

9.7.2 Water Service Reliability Assessment
Average year is defined as, one year, or an averaged range of years, that most closely represents the median average water supply available to the agency. The UWMP Act uses the term “normal” conditions.

Within the UWMP guidebook, the terms “normal” and “average” are used interchangeably.

The single-dry year is the year that represents the lowest water supply available to the agency.

The multiple-dry year period is the period that represents the lowest average water supply availability to the agency for a consecutive multiple year period (five years or more). The Guidebook 2020 defines “multiple dry years” to mean five dry years.

MDMWC only has one source for meeting its potable water demands. All potable water demands are met using groundwater wells in the Indio Subbasin. The groundwater basin has been historically reliable as it is not significantly affected by short-term seasonal or climate changes, and there has been no historical occurrence of pumping limitations.

The single dry year is the year that represents the lowest water supply available. For this UWMP, 2014 represents the single dry year as a worst case with strict water conservation measures in place. With regards to SWP water, only 5 percent of Table A water allocation were delivered in 2014.

The multiple dry year period is the period that represents the lowest average water supply availability for a consecutive multi year period (five years or more). This is generally considered to be the lowest average runoff for a consecutive multiple year period (five years or more) for a watershed since 1903. This UWMP uses 2012 through 2016 as the multiple dry year period.

Table 9-19 provides a summary of base years and supply availability.

Consecutive Dry Years 5th Year 2016 100%

The Indio Subbasin storage will be used in dry years to support potential differences between demands and supply. The groundwater basin has a capacity of approximately 28.8 million acre‐feet. It is capable of meeting the water demands of regional agencies for extended periods during normal, single‐dry and multiple‐dry year conditions.

The expected water supply availability for an average (normal) year is provided in Table 9-20. The available supply is assumed equivalent to the projected demands since the basin is non-adjudicated and based on the expected reliability of the groundwater basin.

Note: The RUWMP participating agencies collaborate on groundwater management plans for long-term sustainability. During a normal year, single-dry year, or five-dry year period, the agencies could produce additional groundwater if demands exceeded the estimates shown here.

Supply reliability during a single-dry year scenario was assumed to be similar to the average year scenario.

Table 9-21 summarizes the single-dry year supply and demand scenario.

While MDMWC relies on groundwater to meet demands, which has historically been a local and reliable source of water, it is recognized that declining groundwater levels in the Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin and the issue of overdraft must be addressed in order to ensure the long-term reliability of groundwater as a source of supply. The recharge of the Coachella Valley Groundwater Basin is also heavily dependent upon CRW and the exchange of SWP water rights.

Discussion of the regional efforts to enhance reliability are included in Chapter 3 of the RUWMP.

9.7.3 Drought Risk Assessment
A new requirement for the 2020 UWMP is a five-year Drought Risk Assessment (DRA). The DRA is based on projections of demand and available supply for the next five years.

2020 Coachella Valley Regional Urban Water Management Plan 9-24
Demands are expected to increase to the projected demands for 2025. It is expected that conservation messaging and programs will prevent any significant increase in demands by existing customers due to dry conditions. The groundwater supply is reliable for a five-year dry period as the volume in storage can be drawn down during a dry period.

The data and methodologies used to identify a potential shortage are described in the Water Shortage Contingency Plan. Based on the reliability analysis in Section 9.7, the supply of groundwater is fully reliable under a five-year drought, including consideration of historic droughts in the Coachella Valley and potential impacts of climate change.

The results of the DRA are summarized in Table 9-23.

2020 Coachella Valley Regional Urban Water Management Plan 9-26
Water Shortage Contingency Plan
Water shortage contingency planning is a program that is developed in the form of a Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) that is used to help manage droughts and other short-term water shortages or supply interruptions by temporarily reducing demand and finding alternate water sources to temporarily increase supply utilizing methods that are within the authority of the water agency. As droughts are part of the normal water cycle in California, this type of planning is a necessity.

MDMWC has developed a WSCP to help manage potential future water shortages. The WSCP is being adopted separately from the RUWMP and may be modified as needed based on changing conditions. The WSCP is an attachment to this RUWMP.

Demand Management Measures
This section describes MDMWC’s water conservation goals, existing and proposed conservation programs, and efforts to promote conservation and reduce demand in order to meet its urban water use reduction targets. Setting goals and selecting appropriate water conservation measures is a continuous process that evolves based upon legislation, technologies, and past measure effectiveness.

9.9.1 Demand Management Measures for Wholesale Suppliers MDMWC is not wholesale supplier, and therefore this section is not applicable.

9.9.2 Existing Demand Management Measures for Retail MDMWC aims to reduce unnecessary water usage and eliminate wasteful practices. MDMWC plans to achieve these goals through a combination of promotion, public outreach, voluntary, and mandatory measures. MDMWC also employs a water conservation staff for support.

9.9.2.1 Water Waste Prevention Ordinances
There are a series of State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) ordinances regarding the waste of water that remain in effect at all times. Depending on State mandates for water use reduction and depending on the stage of the WSCP, additional water waste prevention ordinances may be enacted.

9.9.2.2 Metering
Except for fire protection services, all customer service connections are fully metered. Most multi-family units are served by one meter. A few multi-family units are metered separately at the owner’s request.

MDMWC is also in the process of implementing a meter replacement program.

9.9.2.3 Conservation Pricing
MDMWC has adopted a four-tier budget-based rate structure, which is a conservation rate structure that remains active at all times. Tiers are based upon customer water budgets. As the customer uses water in excess of their budget, the tier increases with a progressively increasing unit water cost.

9.9.2.4 Public Education and Outreach
MDMWC is a partner and contributing member of CV Water Counts ( http://cvwatercounts.com) , a local program consisting of the six water agencies in the Coachella Valley: CVWD, IWA, CWA, Mission Springs Water District (MSWD), DWA, and MDMWC. CV Water Counts promotes the message of water conservation, provides water saving tips, landscaping and leak detection resources, as well as resources for parents, teachers, and children. MDMWC provides links on its website ( http://www.myomawater.com/) to CV Water Counts as well as Save Our Water ( http://saveourwater.com) , a statewide conservation

2020 Coachella Valley Regional Urban Water Management Plan 9-27
program that aims to make water conservation a daily habit through partnering with local water agencies, social marketing, and event sponsorships.

MDMWC also reaches its customers by providing water conservation pamphlets at the MDMWC office as well as by periodically distributing water conservation related materials through customer water bills.

In addition, the State provides rebate incentives for turf replacement and water-efficient toilet replacement.

9.9.2.5 Programs to Assess and Manage Distribution System Real Losses MDMWC controls water loss by comparing production with consumption, regular and frequent inspection of distribution facilities, advising customers of observed or suspected leakage downstream of meters, and immediate leak repair.

9.9.2.6 Water Conservation Program Coordination and Staffing Support MDMWC adopted a conservation policy in 2003 as part of its Rules and Regulations, encouraging efficiency in water use and actively discouraging the waste of water. The policy covers shortages, waste, and landscaping provisions.

MDMWC has recently added a conservation coordinator to its staff and is in the process of developing a formal water conservation program.

9.9.2.7 Other Demand Management Measures
MDMWC makes the following conservation assistance available to high consumption users or those who request it at no cost:
 Location and instructions on how to read water meter.  Identifications of high consumption areas.
 Check for leakage.
 Irrigation schedule and check timers.
 Recommendations on sprinkler repair or improvements.
 Information on landscape conservation methods including water efficient design, maintenance, and plant selection.

9.9.3 Implementation
MDMWC has been implementing its conservation policy since 2003, and has continued to support water conservation over the past five years through the demand management measures (DMMs) described herein. The conservation pricing, public outreach, and State-mandated measures due to the drought have all had a significant impact on reducing per capita demands. In addition, voluntary customer turf replacement has reduced MDMWC’s largest demand component, landscape irrigation.

MDMWC has achieved its 2020 target per capita water use. MDMWC plans to continue support of its water conservation policy, water conservation program development, and implementation of DMMs to support water conservation as a way of life.

9.9.4 Water Use Objectives (Future Requirements)
Updated water use objectives are being developed for water suppliers to meet the requirements of the CWC. The final water use objectives for MDMWC have not yet been determined. The DMMs described in this section are expected to align with MDMWC’s efforts to comply with these objectives when they are finalized.

PART 2.55. SUSTAINABLE WATER USE AND DEMAND REDUCTION
CHAPTER 1. General Declaration and Policy [10608 – 10608.8] 10608. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) Water is a public resource that the California Constitution protects against waste and unreasonable use.
(b) Growing population, climate change, and the need to protect and grow California’s economy while protecting and restoring our fish and wildlife habitats make it essential that the state manage its water resources as efficiently as possible.
(c) Diverse regional water supply portfolios will increase water supply reliability and reduce dependence on the Delta.
(d) Reduced water use through conservation provides significant energy and environmental benefits, and can help protect water quality, improve streamflows, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
(e) The success of state and local water conservation programs to increase efficiency of water use is best determined on the basis of measurable outcomes related to water use or efficiency. (f) Improvements in technology and management practices offer the potential for increasing water efficiency in California over time,

2020 Urban Water Management Plan Guidebook Appendix A
California Department of Water Resources A-3
providing an essential water management tool to meet the need for water for urban, agricultural, and environmental uses. (g) The Governor has called for a 20 percent per capita reduction in urban water use statewide by 2020.
(h) The factors used to formulate water use efficiency targets can vary significantly from location to location based on factors including weather, patterns of urban and suburban development, and past efforts to enhance water use efficiency.
(i) Per capita water use is a valid measure of a water provider’s efforts to reduce urban water use within its service area. However, per capita water use is less useful for measuring relative water use efficiency between different water providers. Differences in weather, historical patterns of urban and suburban development, and density of housing in a particular location need to be considered when assessing per capita water use as a measure of efficiency.
10608.4. It is the intent of the Legislature, by the enactment of this part, to do all of the following:
(a) Require all water suppliers to increase the efficiency of use of this essential resource.
(b) Establish a framework to meet the state targets for urban water conservation identified in this part and called for by the Governor. (c) Measure increased efficiency of urban water use on a per capita basis.
(d) Establish a method or methods for urban retail water suppliers to determine targets for achieving increased water use efficiency by the year 2020, in accordance with the Governor’s goal of a 20- percent reduction.
(e) Establish consistent water use efficiency planning and implementation standards for urban water suppliers and
agricultural water suppliers.
(f) Promote urban water conservation standards that are consistent with the California Urban Water Conservation Council’s adopted best management practices and the requirements for demand management in Section 10631.

2020 Urban Water Management Plan Guidebook Appendix A
California Department of Water Resources A-4
(g) Establish standards that recognize and provide credit to water suppliers that made substantial capital investments in urban water conservation since the drought of the early 1990s.
(h) Recognize and account for the investment of urban retail water suppliers in providing recycled water for beneficial uses. (i) Require implementation of specified efficient water management practices for agricultural water suppliers.
(j) Support the economic productivity of California’s agricultural, commercial, and industrial sectors.
(k) Advance regional water resources management.
10608.8. (a) (1) Water use efficiency measures adopted and implemented pursuant to this part or Part 2.8 (commencing with Section 10800) are water conservation measures subject to the protections provided under Section 1011.
(2) Because an urban agency is not required to meet its urban water use target until 2020 pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 10608.24, an urban retail water supplier’s failure to meet those targets shall not establish a violation of law for purposes of any state administrative or judicial proceeding prior to January 1, 2021. Nothing in this paragraph limits the use of data reported to the department or the board in
litigation or an administrative proceeding. This paragraph shall become inoperative on January 1, 2021.
(3) To the extent feasible, the department and the board shall provide for the use of water conservation reports required under this part to meet the requirements of Section 1011 for water conservation reporting.
(b) This part does not limit or otherwise affect the application of Chapter 3.5 commencing with Section 11340), Chapter 4
(commencing with Section 11370), Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 11400), and Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 11500) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code. (c) This part does not require a reduction in the total water used in the agricultural or urban sectors, because other factors, including, but not limited to, changes in agricultural economics or population

2020 Urban Water Management Plan Guidebook Appendix A
California Department of Water Resources A-5
growth may have greater effects on water use. This part does not limit the economic productivity of California’s agricultural, commercial, or industrial sectors.
(d) The requirements of this part do not apply to an agricultural water supplier that is a party to the Quantification Settlement Agreement, as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 1 of Chapter 617 of the Statutes of 2002, during the period within which the Quantification Settlement Agreement remains in effect. After the expiration of the Quantification Settlement Agreement, to the extent conservation water projects implemented as part of the Quantification Settlement Agreement remain in effect, the conserved water created as part of those projects shall be credited against the obligations of the agricultural water supplier pursuant to this part.

CHAPTER 2. Definitions [10608.12]
10608.12. Unless the context otherwise requires, the following definitions govern the construction of this part:
(a) “Agricultural water supplier” means a water supplier, either publicly or privately owned, providing water to 10,000 or more irrigated acres, excluding recycled water. “Agricultural water supplier” includes a supplier or contractor for water, regardless of the basis of right, that distributes or sells water for ultimate resale to customers. “Agricultural water supplier” does not include the department.
(b) “Base daily per capita water use” means any of the following:

PART 2.6. URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLANNING
CHAPTER 1. General Declaration and Policy [10610 – 10610.4] 10610. This part shall be known and may be cited as the "Urban Water Management Planning Act."
10610.2. (a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(1) The waters of the state are a limited and renewable resource subject to ever-increasing demands.
(2) The conservation and efficient use of urban water supplies are of statewide concern; however, the planning for that use and the implementation of those plans can best be
accomplished at the local level.
(3) A long-term, reliable supply of water is essential to protect the productivity of California’s businesses and economic climate, and increasing long-term water conservation among Californians, improving water use efficiency within the state’s communities and agricultural production, and strengthening local and regional drought planning are critical to California’s resilience to drought and climate change.
(4) As part of its long-range planning activities, every urban water supplier should make every effort to ensure the
appropriate level of reliability in its water service sufficient to meet the needs of its various categories of customers during normal, dry, and multiple dry water years now and into the

2020 Urban Water Management Plan Guidebook Appendix A
California Department of Water Resources A-45
foreseeable future, and every urban water supplier should collaborate closely with local land-use authorities to ensure water demand forecasts are consistent with current land-use planning.
(5) Public health issues have been raised over a number of contaminants that have been identified in certain local and imported water supplies.
(6) Implementing effective water management strategies, including groundwater storage projects and recycled water projects, may require specific water quality and salinity targets for meeting groundwater basins water quality
objectives and promoting beneficial use of recycled water. (7) Water quality regulations are becoming an increasingly important factor in water agencies’ selection of raw water sources, treatment alternatives, and modifications to existing treatment facilities.
(8) Changes in drinking water quality standards may also impact the usefulness of water supplies and may ultimately impact supply reliability.
(9) The quality of source supplies can have a significant impact on water management strategies and supply reliability.
(b) This part is intended to provide assistance to water agencies in carrying out their long-term resource planning responsibilities to ensure adequate water supplies to meet existing and future demands for water.
10610.4. The Legislature finds and declares that it is the policy of the state as follows:
(a) The management of urban water demands and efficient use of water shall be actively pursued to protect both the people of the state and their water resources.
(b) The management of urban water demands and efficient use of urban water supplies shall be a guiding criterion in public decisions. (c) Urban water suppliers shall be required to develop water management plans to achieve the efficient use of available supplies and strengthen local drought planning.

Re: Notice of Intent to Update Urban Water Management Plan Dear Mr. McMillen:

On behalf of the six participating agencies, this letter provides notice that six water agencies in the Coachella Valley are updating their Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and preparing a Regional UWMP to comply with the current requirements of the Urban Water Management Planning Act. The participating agencies are:
· Coachella Valley Water District
· Coachella Water Authority (City of Coachella)
· Desert Water Agency
· Indio Water Authority (City of Indio)
· Mission Springs Water District
· Myoma Dunes Mutual Water Company
The State of California requires urban water purveyors to update their UWMP every five years.

Preparing a Regional UWMP will allow the six agencies to coordinate their efforts on demand projections and supply characterizations.

The agencies will be evaluating their previous UWMP and considering amendments and changes as required by the law. The agencies will be hosting a public workshop to gather input, and the draft RUWMP will be made available for public review before each agency’s governing board holds a public hearing to gather input and consider adoption. The adopted RUWMP is due to be submitted to the State by July 1, 2021. More information and the draft RUWMP will be available at http://www.cvrwmg.org/uwmp/ .

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN,
that the City Council of the City
of Indio,California and the Indio
Water Authority (collectively
“City”),will hold a joint public
hearing on June 16,2021,at 5
p.m.or as soon thereafter as the
matter may be heard to receive
and consider public input on the
following prior to their adoption
by resolution:
2020 Coachella Valley
Regional Urban Water
Management Plan,the Water
Shortage Contingency Plan
and Appendix L Addendum to
the 2015 Urban Water
Management Plan
The City encourages all of its
customers to participate in this
review process.California's
Urban Water Management
Planning Act (“Act”)requires
urban water suppliers to prepare
and adopt an urban water
management plan every five
years.The City is collaborating
with five other regional agencies
(Coachella Valley Water District,
Coachella Water Authority (City
of Coachella),Desert Water
Agency,Mission Springs Water
District,and Myoma Dunes
Mutual Water Company)in
preparing the Coachella Valley
Regional Urban Water
Management Plan (RUWMP).

The RUWMP describes the
region’s water supplies and
anticipated water demands
through Year 2045 and
documents each agency’s
programs to encourage efficient
water use.

The Water Shortage
Contingency Plan (WSCP)_is
also required by the Act and
describes the actions that could
be undertaken during a water
shortage to reduce demand.The
agencies have coordinated their
WSCPs to provide consistent
shortage levels and response
regions across the Coachella
Valley region.

Because the region receives
imported water from the
Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta
(Delta),the agencies are
required to demonstrate
consistency with Delta Plan
Policy WR P1,Reduced
Reliance on the Delta Through
Improved Regional Water Self-
Reliance.Appendix L has been
prepared to satisfy the
requirement to demonstrate
reduced reliance on the Delta.

This appendix is included in the
Draft 2020 RUWMP,and will be
included as an addendum to
each agency’s 2015 Urban
Water Management Plan.

Summaries of the RUWMP,
WSCP and Appendix L will be
presented at the public hearing.

A copy of the documents entitled
“2020 Coachella Valley Regional
Urban Water Management Plan,
Water Shortage Contingency
Plan (WSCP),and Appendix L
Addendum to the 2015 Urban
Water Management Plan”will be

Appendix C: Demonstration
of Reduced Delta Reliance

(Appendix L to 2015 UWMP)

1 Appendix - Delta Reliance_DRAFT.docx

Coachella Valley Regional Urban Water Management Plan
Quantifying Regional Self-Reliance and Reduced Reliance on Water Supplies from the Delta Watershed
June 2021
1 Background
Under the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Reform Act of 2009, state and local public agencies proposing a covered action in the Delta, prior to initiating the implementation of that action, must prepare a written certification of consistency with detailed findings as to whether the covered action is consistent with applicable Delta Plan policies and submit that certification to the Delta Stewardship Council. Anyone may appeal a certification of consistency, and if the Delta Stewardship Council grants the appeal, the covered action may not be implemented until the agency proposing the covered action submits a revised certification of consistency, and either no appeal is filed, or the Delta Stewardship Council denies the subsequent appeal.

An urban water supplier that anticipates participating in or receiving water from a proposed covered action such as a multi-year water transfer, conveyance facility, or new diversion that involves transferring water through, exporting water from, or using water in the Delta should provide information in their 2015 and 2020 Urban Water Management Plans (UWMPs) that can then be used in the covered action process to demonstrate consistency with Delta Plan Policy WR P1, Reduce Reliance on the Delta Through Improved Regional Water Self-Reliance (WR P1).

WR P1 details what is needed for a covered action to demonstrate consistency with reduced reliance on the Delta and improved regional self-reliance. WR P1 subsection (a) states that:
(a) Water shall not be exported from, transferred through, or used in the Delta if all of the following apply:
(1) One or more water suppliers that would receive water as a result of the export, transfer, or use have failed to adequately contribute to reduced reliance on the Delta and improved regional self-reliance consistent with all of the requirements listed in paragraph (1) of subsection (c);
(2) That failure has significantly caused the need for the export, transfer, or use; and (3) The export, transfer, or use would have a significant adverse environmental impact in the Delta.

WR P1 subsection (c)(1) further defines what adequately contributing to reduced reliance on the Delta means in terms of (a)(1) above.
(c)(1) Water suppliers that have done all the following are contributing to reduced reliance on the Delta and improved regional self-reliance and are therefore consistent with this policy:

2 Appendix - Delta Reliance_DRAFT.docx
(A) Completed a current Urban or Agricultural Water Management Plan (Plan) which has been reviewed by the California Department of Water Resources for compliance with the applicable requirements of Water Code Division 6, Parts 2.55, 2.6, and 2.8; (B) Identified, evaluated, and commenced implementation, consistent with the implementation schedule set forth in the Plan, of all programs and projects included in the Plan that are locally cost effective and technically feasible which reduce reliance on the Delta; and
(C) Included in the Plan, commencing in 2015, the expected outcome for measurable reduction in Delta reliance and improvement in regional self-reliance. The expected outcome for measurable reduction in Delta reliance and improvement in regional self- reliance shall be reported in the Plan as the reduction in the amount of water used, or in the percentage of water used, from the Delta watershed. For the purposes of reporting, water efficiency is considered a new source of water supply, consistent with Water Code section 1011(a).

The analysis and documentation provided below include all the elements described in WR P1(c)(1) that need to be included in a water supplier’s UWMP to support a certification of consistency for a future covered action.

The analysis presented here was developed on behalf of the six agencies participating in the 2020 Coachella Valley Regional Urban Water Management Plan (RUWMP). These six agencies include:
 Coachella Valley Water District
 Coachella Water Authority
 Desert Water Agency
 Indio Water Authority
 Mission Springs Water District
 Myoma Dunes Mutual Water Company
This analysis is based on the water used to meet demands throughout the Coachella Valley. 2 Methodology
As stated in WR P1(c)(1)(C), the policy requires that, commencing in 2015, UWMPs include expected outcomes for improved regional self-reliance and measurable reduction in Delta reliance. WR P1 further states that those outcomes shall be reported in the UWMP as the reduction in the amount of water used, or in the percentage of water used, from the Delta. The expected outcomes for regional self-reliance and reduced Delta reliance were developed using the approach and guidance described in Appendix C of DWR’s Urban Water Management Plan Guidebook 2020 issued in March 2020 (Guidebook Appendix C).

The methodology used to determine improved regional self-reliance and reduced Delta reliance is consistent with the approach detailed in DWR’s UWMP Guidebook Appendix C, including the use of

3 Appendix - Delta Reliance_DRAFT.docx
narrative justifications for the accounting of supplies and the documentation of specific data sources.

Some of the key assumptions include:
 All data were obtained from the current 2020 RUWMP, UWMPs from previous years, the Integrated Regional Water Management Plan, the Draft Indio Subbasin Alternative Plan Update, or the Draft Mission Creek Subbasin Alternative Plan Update. Demands represent average or normal water year conditions.
 All analyses were conducted at the service area level, and all data reflect the total contributions of the agencies as well as their customers.

To calculate the expected outcomes for improved regional self-reliance and reduced Delta reliance, a baseline is needed to compare against. This analysis uses a normal water year representation of 2010 as the baseline, which is consistent with the approach described in the Guidebook Appendix C. 3 Demonstration of Regional Self-Reliance
Demands without Water Use Efficiency
In alignment with the Guidebook Appendix C, this analysis uses normal water year demands, rather than normal water year supplies to calculate expected outcomes in terms of the percentage of water used.

Using normal water year demands serves as a proxy for the amount of supplies that would be used in a normal water year, which helps alleviate issues associated with how supply capability is presented to fulfill requirements of the UWMP Act versus how supplies might be accounted for to demonstrate consistency with WR P1.

Because WR P1 considers water use efficiency savings a source of water supply, water suppliers that do not explicitly quantify water use efficiency savings in their UWMPs can calculate their embedded water use efficiency savings based on changes in forecasted per capita water use since the baseline. As explained in the Guidebook Appendix C, water use efficiency savings must be added back to the normal year demands to represent demands without water use efficiency savings; otherwise the effect of water use efficiency savings on regional self-reliance would be overestimated. Table C-1 shows the results of this estimation. Supporting narrative and documentation for the data shown in Table C-1 are provided below.

Demands with Water Use Efficiency
The demands shown in Table C-1 represent the water demands for the region, compiled from the previous documents mentioned above and current projections. .

Population
Population was estimated using the previous UWMPs and the regional growth forecast prepared by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG).

4 Appendix - Delta Reliance_DRAFT.docx
Estimated Water Use Efficiency Since Baseline
This line item was calculated using “Potable Demands with Water Use Efficiency” divided by “Population” and then calculating Estimated Water Use Efficiency Since Baseline by comparing with 2010 Per Capita Water Use.

Water Demands without Water Use Efficiency
This line item was calculated by adding “Demands with Water Use Efficiency” to “Estimated Water Use Efficiency Since Baseline.”
Supplies Contributing to Regional Self-Reliance
For a covered action to demonstrate consistency with the Delta Plan, WR P1 subsection (c)(1)(C) states that water suppliers must report the expected outcomes for measurable improvement in regional self- reliance. Table C-3 shows expected outcomes for supplies contributing to regional self-reliance both in amount and as a percentage. The numbers shown in Table C-3 represent efforts to improve regional self- reliance for all agencies and include the total contributions of the agencies and their customers.

Supporting narratives and documentation for the data shown in Table C-3 are provided below.

Water Use Efficiency
The water use efficiency information shown in Table C-3 is taken directly from Table C-1.

Water Recycling
Estimates of water recycling volumes are based on previous UWMPs and current projections.

Local and Regional Water Supply and Storage Programs
The local and regional water supply and storage programs data shown in Table C-3 represent estimates by the participating agencies.

Conclusions
The results shown in Table C-3 demonstrate that the agencies are measurably improving regional self- reliance. In the long-term (through 2045), the expected outcome for normal water year regional self- reliance is an increase of approximately 17 percentage points from the 2010 baseline. The results show that as a region, the agencies and their customers are measurably reducing reliance on the Delta and improving regional self-reliance.
4 Demonstration of Reduced Reliance on the Delta
The agencies reduce reliance on the Delta through investments in non-Delta water supplies, local water supplies, and regional and local demand management measures. For reduced reliance on supplies from the Delta Watershed, the data used in this analysis represent the total regional efforts of the agencies and their customers.

5 Appendix - Delta Reliance_DRAFT.docx
Calculation of Reliance on Water Supplies from the Delta Watershed The calculation of reliance on water supplies from the Delta watershed, shown in Table C-4, is based on the following assumptions. The agencies’ supplies from the Delta watershed include:
 Central Valley Project (CVP) / State Water Project (SWP) Contract Supplies  Other Water Supplies from the Delta Watershed.

CVP/SWP Contract Supplies
The supply data shown in Table C-4 is for SWP Table A allocations to CVWD and DWA. These values are based on the combined Table A amount for CVWD and DWA (194,100 AFY) and the historical average reliability as published in the SWP Delivery Capability Report.

Other Water Supplies from the Delta Watershed
Because this document demonstrates reduced reliance on the Delta and could be used to help support the approval of a future project, these supplies do not include any potential future projects that could be covered actions.

Change in Supplies from the Delta Watershed
This line item was calculated by adding “CVP/SWP Contract Supplies” and “Other Water Supplies from the Delta Watershed” to get total Water Supplies from the Delta Watershed and then calculating changes from the 2010 baseline.

Percent Change in Supplies from the Delta Watershed
In this line item the “Water Supplies from the Delta Watershed” is divided by “Demands without Water Use Efficiency” for each timeframe to show changes from the 2010 baseline.

Conclusions
The results shown in Table C-4 demonstrate that the agencies are measurably reducing reliance on supplies from the Delta watershed. In the long term (through 2045), the results show that as a region, the agencies and their customers are measurably reducing reliance on the Delta and improving regional self-reliance.
5 UWMP Implementation
In addition to the analysis and documentation described above, WR P1 subsection (c)(1)(B) requires that all programs and projects included in the UWMP that are locally cost-effective and technically feasible, which reduce reliance on the Delta, are identified, evaluated, and implemented consistent with the implementation schedule. WR P1 (c)(1)(B) states that water supplies must have:
(B) Identified, evaluated, and commenced implementation, consistent with the implementation schedule set forth in the Plan, of all programs and projects included in the Plan that are locally cost effective and technically feasible which reduce reliance on the Delta[.]

6 Appendix - Delta Reliance_DRAFT.docx
In accordance with Water Code Section 10631(f), water suppliers must include in their UWMP a detailed description of expected future projects and programs that they may implement to increase the amount of water supply available to them in normal and single-dry water years and for a period of drought lasting five consecutive years. The UWMP description must also identify specific projects, include a description of the increase in water supply that is expected to be available from each project, and include an estimate regarding the implementation timeline for each project or program.

The 2020 RUWMP summarizes the implementation plan and continued progress in developing a diversified water portfolio to meet the region’s water needs. 6 2015 UWMP Appendix L
The information contained in this appendix is also intended to be a new Appendix L attached to each agency’s 2015 UWMP consistent with WR P1 subsection (c)(1)(C) (Cal. Code Regs. tit. 23, § 5003). The agencies provided notice of the availability of the draft 2020 RUWMP, 2021 WSCPs, and a new Appendix L to the 2015 UWMP and of a public hearing to consider adoption of the documents in accordance with CWC Sections 10621(b) and 10642, and Government Code Section 6066, and Chapter 17.5 (starting with Section 7290) of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code. The public review drafts of the 2020 RUWMP, Appendix L to the 2015 UWMP, and the 2021 WSCPs were posted on each agency’s website before the public hearings in June 2021. The notice of availability of the documents was published in local newspapers and was sent to cities and counties in each agency’s service area. Copies of the notification letter sent to cities and counties are included in the 2020 RUWMP Appendix B. Thus, this Appendix C to the 2020 RUWMP, which was adopted with the 2020 RUWMP, will also be recognized and treated as Appendix L to each agency’s 2015 UWMP.

Each agency held a public hearing for the draft 2020 RUWMP, draft Appendix L to the 2015 UWMP, and draft 2021 WSCP in June of 2021, at a regular Board of Directors meeting. Each agency’s Board of Directors determined that the 2020 RUWMP and the 2021 WSCP accurately represent the water resources plan for the service area. In addition, each agency’s Board of Directors determined that Appendix L to the 2015 UWMP (and Appendix C to the 2020 RUWMP) includes all of the elements described in Delta Plan Policy WR P1, Reduce Reliance on the Delta Through Improved Regional Water Self-Reliance (Cal. Code Regs. tit. 23, § 5003), which need to be included in a water supplier’s UWMP to support a certification of consistency for a future covered action. Each agency’s Board of Directors adopted the 2020 RUWMP, Appendix L to the 2015 UWMP, and the 2021 WSCP and authorized their submittal to the State of California. Copies of the resolutions are included in the 2020 RUWMP Appendix H.
