Section 4 Demand Management Measures • The second payment after a one-year monitoring period to measure water savings Types of projects have included treating and reusing water in manufacturing process or for cooling towers and new wash equipment with upgraded washers, nozzles and automated control systems. Two industrial customers have implemented water saving recommendations and are saving more than 170 AFY. 4.2.10. DMM 10: Wholesale Agency Programs MWDOC provides financial incentives, conservation-related technical support, and regional implementation of a variety of BMP-based programs. In addition, MWDOC conducts research projects to evaluate implementation of both existing programs and new pilot programs. On behalf of its member agencies, MWDOC also organizes and provides the following: • Monthly coordinator meetings • Marketing materials • Public speaking • Community events • American Water Works Association/International Water Association (AWWA/IWA) Audit Study 4.2.11. DMM 11: Conservation Pricing MWDOC publishes annually the Orange County Water Agencies Water Rates, Water System Operations, and Financial Information survey. This survey documents the rates charged by each retail water agency, as well as the type of rate structure, i.e., a flat rate, inclined block, or seasonal rate structure. Table 4-8 provides a brief summary of the types of rates used by retail water agencies in Orange County and shows a slow progression away from uniform rates.

Section 4 Demand Management Measures MWDOC Budget Based Tiered Rate Study Grant with DWR - The purpose of the study is to concurrently assist 13 retail water agencies in examining the feasibility, approach and implementation of water budget rate structures or various aspects of water budget rate structures. The goal is to help urban communities cope with water shortages and drought conditions while at the same time provide the benefits of achieving water savings every year. Equitable allocation of indoor and outdoor water needs by account allows agencies to scientifically determine which accounts are over their allotment. Based on this information, a water agency can focus their resources on saving water from these accounts based on price and/or other complementary device based conservation programs. The flexibility of water budgets in this manner makes them the most equitable mechanism for water conservation. Water budgets can alleviate the adverse effects of drought conditions with two primary mechanisms. First, it can reduce water consumption by sending a price signal specifically to those customers who are the least efficient with their water use. Further, water budgets address equity or fairness, by allocating water based on demographic and geographic factors such as household size, landscaped area, and plant type and weather conditions. Documented water savings on the order of 20% and higher have been achieved via implementation of these types of rate structures. Some of the challenges agencies face when evaluating and implementing a water budget are determining staff and billing system requirements, designing defensible water budget allocations based on scientific data, gathering public support and setting realistic conservation goals. These challenges are often compounded by lack of technical expertise and policy inexperience. This project proposes to assist the agencies in overcoming these types of obstacles. Group workshops are held with all participating agencies and then each agency will conduct additional detailed work related to the policy and technical issues associated with water budgets in their service area. As the efforts progress, meetings within each agency are held with the appropriate policy-makers and senior staff to refine the implementation aspects. For some agencies, a billing system compatibility analysis will be conducted to determine if the existing billing system can handle budget based tiered rates and/or if changes or modifications are needed. Lastly, by channeling the energy of 13 neighboring communities to examine water budgets, it creates the political environment required for them to be adopted and increase the likelihood of success. The Grant Study includes three specific components, although not every agency participates in every component. The components are: 1) Water Rate Development 2) Use of Parcel Data for Water Budget Development 3) Billing and Accounting System Needs (hardware and software) Municipal Water District of Orange County 2010 Regional Urban Water Management Plan Final 4-21
