  Level       Conservation Targets               Condition


Status Quo        Water Use Efficiency at all times - Voluntary


    1         Up to 10% - Voluntary           Drought Watch

                   Up to 20% -
    2                                         Drought Alert

?? Decisions Decisions ??
Drought Rates -Mandatory Cut Backs
           Motivating Customer Behaviors


Historical Use ?
 • Punishes prior conservers
 • Rewards water wasters


Water Budget Allocation ?
 • Difficult
 • Water allotment basis?
 • Irvine WD model
Padre Dam’s Solution
Water Budget - allocations based on EDUs –
  capacity sold at construction
Seasonal adjustment - winter/summer
Rates increase at higher tiers & drought levels
• From 3 to 5 Tiers
Starting Point
   Residential Single Family Home

“Typical” Property = 1 EDU capacity
   Allocated 450 GPD (Gallons/Day)
      220 Tier 1 – “Lifeline”
      230 Tier 2
   Baseline for all others


Residential vary depending on lot
size
Single Family Homes
             Budget Allocations - GPD

1 EDU   RES2      0.16 - 0.25      220                 207           427

1 EDU   RES3      0.26 - 0.50      220                 230           450

1 EDU   RES4      0.51 - 2.00      220                 345           565

Tier Allocations Change at
   Each Drought Level - GPD
Example: RES3 = SFH, ½ acre lot, 1 EDU, gpd
