1.0 INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE
Water supply has always been a key issue in the development of Texas. In recent years, the increasing
population and economic development of North Central Texas have led to growing demands for water
supplies. At the same time, local and less expensive sources of water supply are largely already
developed.
Additional supplies to meet future demands will be expensive and difficult to secure. Severe drought
conditions in past years have highlighted the importance of the efficient use of our existing supplies to
make them last as long as possible. Extending current supplies will delay the need for new supplies,
minimize the environmental impacts associated with developing new supplies, and delay the high cost
of additional water supply development.
Recognizing the need for efficient use of existing water supplies, the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) have developed guidelines
and requirements governing the development of water conservation plans. The City of Southlake has
developed this water conservation plan in accordance with TCEQ and TWDB guidelines and
requirements. To develop a regional approach, the City of Southlake consulted with Tarrant Regional
Water District (TRWD) and City of Fort Worth on their respective Water Conservation and Drought
Contingency Plans, since Southlake is a customer of both of these entities. This Water Conservation Plan
replaces the previous plan dated April 2014.
In addition, the City of Southlake developed this water conservation plan with guidance from the City of
Southlake Water Conservation Master Plan (Master Plan), an element of the Southlake 2030
Comprehensive Plan, a copy of which is provided in Appendix C. The Master Plan was adopted by
Southlake City Council on April 16, 2013 after careful consideration from the public, council members,
and staff, and is scheduled to be updated soon. This water conservation plan includes goals identified in
the Master Plan.
The City of Southlake recognizes that in order to achieve its goals of maximizing water conservation and
efficiency, it is necessary to develop and implement a water conservation plan that goes beyond basic
compliance with TCEQ guidelines and requirements. This plan reflects the City of Southlake's
commitment to enhanced water conservation and efficiency strategies. The objectives of this Water
Conservation Plan are as follows:
• To reduce water consumption from the levels that would prevail without conservation efforts;
• To reduce the loss and waste of water;
• To improve efficiency in the use of water;
• Encourage efficient outdoor water use;
• And, to extend the life of current water supplies by reducing the rate of growth in demand.
The City's plan will achieve significant conservation savings to help extend the life of existing supplies
without burdening the customer with unnecessary additional costs.
2.0 TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY RULES

Best Management Practices for Municipal Water Users document and the Guidance and Methodology
for Reporting on Water Conservation and Water Use developed by TWDB and TCEQ, in consultation with
the Water Conservation Advisory Council. These documents were developed in response to a charge
by the 82nd Texas Legislature to develop water use and calculation methodology and guidance for
preparation of water use reports and water conservation plans in accordance with TCEQ rules. The City
of Southlake has considered elements of these documents in preparation of this plan.
3.0 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE AREA AND UTILITY PROFILE
The City of Southlake provides retail water and sewer service to approximately 29,440 residents (2018
population estimate). Figure 3-1 shows Southlake's water service area.
FIGURE 3-1: CITY OF SOUTHLAKE WATER SERVICE AREA

4.0 SPECIFICATION OF WATER CONSERVATION GOALS
TCEQ rules require the adoption of specific water conservation goals for a water conservation plan. The
goals for this water conservation plan include the following:
• Maintain the 5-year moving average total per capita water use below specified amount in Table
4-1.
• Maintain the level of water loss in the system below the specified amount in Table 5-2.
• Maintain a program of universal metering and meter replacement and repair as discussed in
Section 5.2.
• Increase efficient water usage and decrease waste in lawn irrigation by enforcement of
landscape water management regulations as described in Section 7.1.
• Raise public awareness of water conservation and encourage responsible public behavior by a
public education and information program as discussed in Section 6.1.
In the previous (2014) plan, total per capita use goals were 327 GPCD by 2020 and 311 GPCD by 2025.
As of 2018, Southlake's five year average per capita use was 302 GPCD. In the last year alone, Southlake's
GPCD was 277. This illustrates achieved conservation savings significantly ahead of the previous 2020
and 2025 goals. As Southlake continues to decrease its GPCD, the 2025 and 2030 goals have been
revised to reflect more accurate goals based on current water use trends. Southlake will use the
suggested 1% reduction in GPCD, per the City of Fort Worth Water Conservation Plan (Section
4.0). The current specific goals are outlined in Table 4-1. These goals were developed assuming a five
year average per capita, and therefore some dry years will see higher per capita usage than these five
year average goals. A series of dry years may lead to an average exceeding the goal.

4.1 LIST OF BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
During each update of the Water Conservation Plan the City of Southlake has evaluated the Best
Management Practices (BMPs) outlined in the Best Management Practices for Municipal Water Users
document. In addition, the City of Southlake has evaluated BMPs through the adoption of the Water
Conservation Master Plan, as previously discussed in Section 1.0 of this plan.
For a complete list of the BMPs, refer to Table 4-2 on the following page. Table 4-2 is the implementation
schedule of the BMPs for the practices the City has implemented and the proposed implementation date
for additional strategies. Since the City is projected to reach its buildout population by 2030, the City
plans to conduct all BMPs in this plan before that point.

5.0 METERING, WATER USE RECORDS, CONTROL OF UNACCOUNTED
WATER, AND LEAK DETECTION AND REPAIR
One of the key elements in water conservation is careful tracking of water use and control of losses.
Programs for universal metering, meter testing, meter repair, and periodic meter replacement have
been developed using American Water Works Association (AWWA) standards and are important
elements in the City of Southlake's program to control losses.
5.1 PRACTICES TO MEASURE AND ACCOUNT FOR THE AMOUNT OF WATER
DIVERTED FROM THE CITY OF FORT WORTH
Water delivered from the City of Fort Worth is metered both where it leaves the City of Fort Worth and
six (6) miles away where it enters the City of Southlake. This allows better leak detection in the
delivery lines.
5.2 MONITORING AND RECORD MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR DETERMINING
DELIVERIES, SALES, AND LOSSES
The City has an effective record management system in place. As required by TAC Title 30, Part 1,
Chapter 288, Subchapter A, Rule 288.2 (a)(2)(B), Southlake's record management system allows for the
separation of water sales and uses into residential, commercial, municipal, and industrial categories.
This information is included in the TCEQ-required Water Conservation Implementation report, as
described in Section 6.3.
5.2.1 METERING ALL NEW CONNECTIONS AND RETROFIT OF EXISTING CONNECTIONS
The City meters all connections in the distribution system. Meters range in size from 3/4" to 8". The
meter size distribution is included in Table 5-1 below. All meters meet AWWA accuracy standards when
installed.

5.3 LEAK DETECTION, REPAIR AND WATER LOSS ACCOUNTING
The system water audit is used annually to monitor the total level of non -revenue water. There are
many variables which influence the revenue and non -revenue components of the City's water system
including meter inaccuracy, data discrepancies, unauthorized consumption, reported breaks and leaks
and unreported losses. This BMP corresponds to WC-10 of the Master Plan.
The City of Southlake uses gallons per connection per day as its preferred water loss metric as it is less
variable than other metrics to climatic conditions. The five-year average water loss (gallons per
connection per day) was 20.8 GPCD or an average of 6.77% (as described in Section E of the Utility Profile
(Appendix B).
The City will continue to track water losses throughout the system by analyzing and updating the targets
and goals of this section annually in conjunction with the water audit. Because the City of Southlake
continues to measure a low water loss volume and percentage, the City will commit to maintaining the
current water loss volume and percentage as a moving average through 2030, as shown in Table 5-2.

6.0 OTHER REQUIRED CONSERVATION MEASURES
6.1 PUBLIC EDUCATION AND INFORMATION
Developing a strategy for providing water conservation information to the general public is an effective
means of both promoting specific water conservation programs and practices and educating the public
about the importance of using water efficiently. Programs will be tailored to the community and the
audience it is being delivered to. In Southlake, a focus on the residential water customer should be one
of the target audiences due to residential nature of the community. Developing an outreach program to
residents, business owners, property managers, HOAs and others whose decisions may influence water
use at a residential or commercial property will also help to raise awareness about water conserving
techniques and technologies and encourage the decision makers to choose best practices. The City has
identified the following Public Education BMPs to be implemented during this 5-year plan.
6.1.1 SCHOOL/YOUTH EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM
The City will work with Tarrant Regional Water District to develop a program focused on educating the
City's youth in partnership with local school districts, private schools and other youth oriented
organizations. Programs should focus on awareness about water use and how to adopt water
conserving habits. This BMP corresponds to WC-1 of the Master Plan.
6.1.2 RESIDENTIAL CONSUMER EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM
The City will develop a program for targeting residential consumers through various means such as
websites, media, direct mailings, personal contact, etc. These programs will focus on residential water
use, especially landscape water use, and how residents can take action to reduce water use. This may
also include participating in the Learn and Grow Program developed by Tarrant Regional Water
District, which provides presentations, workshops, and events geared towards water conservation
outreach. This BMP corresponds to WC-2 of the Master Plan.
6.1.3 LICENSED IRRIGATORS AND CONSTRUCTION TRADE EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH
PROGRAMS
The Water Efficient Recognized Green Professional Program (Green Pros) was developed in 2016 with
the Texas A&M Agri Life Extension Service in Tarrant County and Tarrant Regional Water District. Topics
include water conservation, low impact design, turfgrass, irrigation, and low -water -use plants. The target
audience of the program is green industry professionals such as landscapers, designers, and irrigators.
The City of Southlake will support the Green Pros program by promoting the program in our community.
This BMP corresponds to WC-3 of the Master Plan.
6.1.4 BUSINESS AND PROPERTY OWNER/MANAGER RELATIONS PROGRAM
Often property owners and managers can make influential decisions about water use at commercial and
institutional properties. The City will develop a relationship with property owners and managers, provide
educational opportunities and assist property owners and managers in making decisions to reduce
water use. This BMP corresponds to WC-4 of the Master Plan.
6.1.5 CONTINUE TO SEEK PARTNERSHIPS WITH AGENCIES TO PROMOTE WATER
CONSERVATION
The City will continue to seek and take advantage of partnerships with local entities such as City of
Fort Worth, Tarrant Regional Water District, and the Water Efficiency Network of North Texas (WENNT)
to promote water conservation on a regional scale. This may include symposiums, recurring
meetings, events and workshops, conference calls, among other methods. This BMP corresponds to
WC-5 of the Master Plan.
6.1.6 CONTINUE TO PROMOTE A LANDSCAPE GUIDE FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND
LANDSCAPE PROFESSIONALS
The City will work with landscaping professionals and regional entities to update the guidance that
has been developed for the general public and landscape professionals. This guide will focus on
landscaping that promotes water conserving techniques. This BMP corresponds to WC-6 of the Master
Plan.
6.2 WATER RATE STRUCTURE
The City of Southlake has a conservation -oriented water rate structure in place. The City's current rate
structure consists of either a residential, commercial, or special rates category . Usage charges are
assessed according to customer class and meter size. An increasing block rate structure is in place for
all classes to encourage water conservation. The City analyzes each customer class and sets rates in
proportion to those classes which place the most demands upon the water system. The rates shown
in Appendix E were effective as of October 1, 2018 and are subject to change as the City continues to
refine its rate structures to improve the impact on water conservation and manage the cost of
service most effectively.
6.3 IMPLEMENTATION AND ENFORCEMENT
The City of Southlake completes the Water Conservation Implementation Report as required by the
Texas Water Development by the 15Y of May each year. The report includes various water conservation
strategies that have been implemented, including the date of implementation. Additionally, the report
includes progress made on the five and ten year per capita water use goals from this Plan. If the goals
are not being met, Southlake must document the reason why the City has not met its goals.
6.4 COORDINATION WITH REGIONAL WATER PLANNING GROUPS
The City has been working with Fort Worth and Tarrant Regional Water District, who in turn have been
working with the local Regional Water Planning Group (Region C), to help develop the water
conservation plan documents. Copies of the Water Conservation Plan will be sent to the Chairs of the
Region C Water Planning Group, The City of Fort Worth, and the Tarrant Regional Water District.
7.0 ADDITIONAL CONSERVATION EFFORTS
7.1 LANDSCAPE WATER MANAGEMENT
7.1.1 PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED PROHIBITIONS AND ENFORCEMENT MEASURES
The City has adopted ordinances that prohibit a number of water wasting activities. Prohibitions include:
• Watering between the hours of 10 am and 6 pm, when wind and solar evaporation is greatest;
• Watering during a rain event or a freeze event; commercial properties and new irrigation
systems are required to install a rain/freeze sensor on automatic sprinkler systems and owners
of existing residential systems are encouraged to install a rain/freeze sensor;
• Causing water waste through such activities as irrigating directly onto paved surfaces or
operating a system with broken equipment.
7.1.2 CONTINUE LAWN AND LANDSCAPE IRRIGATION RESTRICTIONS
The following lawn and landscape irrigation restrictions were adopted per ordinance 895-C in 2014 and
will remain in effect.
(a) Except for hand watering, drip irrigation and the use of soaker hoses, a person may only irrigate,
water, or cause or permit the irrigation or watering of any lawn or landscape located on
premises owned, leased, or managed by that person (i) on a day designated as an outdoor water
use day for the property's address as shown below; and (ii) between the hours of 12 midnight to
10 a.m. and 6 p.m. to 12 midnight.
(1) Residential addresses ending in an even number (0, 2, 4, 6 or 8) may water on
Wednesdays or Saturdays.
(2) Residential addresses ending in an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7 or 9) may water on
Thursdays and Sundays.
(3) All non-residential locations (apartment complexes, businesses, industries, parks,
medians, etc.) may water on Tuesdays and Fridays.

(b) Except for hand watering, drip irrigation and the use of soaker hoses, a person commits an
offense if that person irrigates, waters, or causes or permits the irrigation or watering of any
lawn or landscape located on premises owned, leased, or managed by that person on a day that
is not designated as an outdoor water use for that property address as shown in subsection (a)
above.
(c) A person commits an offense if he knowingly or recklessly irrigates, waters, or causes or permits
the irrigation or watering of a lawn or landscape located on premises owned, leased or managed
by the person in a manner that causes:
(1) a substantial amount of water to fall upon impervious areas instead of a lawn or
landscape, such that a constant stream of water overflows from the lawn or landscape
onto a street or other drainage area; or
(2) an irrigation system or other lawn or landscape watering device to operate during any
form of precipitation.
(d) A person commits an offense if, on premises owned, leased, or managed by that person, a
person operates a lawn or landscape irrigation system or device that:
(1) has any broken or missing sprinkler heads; or
(2) has not been properly maintained in a manner that prevents the waste of water.
(e) Affirmative Defenses
(1) It shall be an affirmative defense to prosecution of an offense in (a) that at the time
such person irrigates, waters, or causes or permits the irrigation or watering of any lawn
or landscape, such activity was for the purpose of:
i. establishing hydromulch, grass sod, or grass seed;
ii. dust control of a sports field; or
iii. for the maintenance, repair, or testing of an irrigation system.
(2) Such activity described in Subsection (d)(1) may be an affirmative defense to
prosecution only if the activity occurred for a period of thirty consecutive days or less.
After the thirtieth consecutive day of such activity, a person who irrigates, waters, or
causes or permits the irrigation or watering of any lawn or landscape in violation of this
section shall be subject to administrative fees and criminal penalties.
(f) It shall be an exception to prosecution of an offense in this section, if a person who irrigates,
waters, or causes or permits the irrigation or watering does so by use of an alternative water
source such as a well, reclaimed or reused water, or water from the Trinity River if that person
has:
(1) Registered such alternative water source with the City;
(2) Provided sufficient proof to the director that the alternative water source is from a well,
reclaimed or reused water or from the Trinity River and has allowed inspection by the
director if deemed necessary; and
(3) Complied with the City's Backflow and Cross -connection Control Program and City Code
Sections 12.5-525 through 12.5-599.
7.1.3 REGULATE INSTALLATION OF IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
The City actively enforces TCEQ rules on irrigation installation, including the requirement that a licensed
irrigator install or make major repairs to an irrigation system. The City accepts and reviews irrigation
plans, per TCEQ rules.
In addition, the City has adopted codes specific to increasing the efficiency of new irrigation systems,
including a requirement that all new spray heads and rotors include pressure regulation. This decreases
over -pressurization at the spray head and reduces water waste.
In the future, the City will review the permitting and inspection processes to make modifications or
improvements. This review will correspond to WC-15 of the Master Plan.
7.2 MUNICIPAL BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
7.2.1 CONTINUE TO STUDY WATER CONSERVATION PRICING RATES
Water Conservation Pricing is the use of rate structures that discourage the inefficient use of or the
waste of water. Conservation pricing structures include increasing unit prices with increased
consumption such as inverted block rates, base rates and excess use rates such as water budget rates,
and seasonal rates. While the City has already established a water -conserving pricing structure, the City
will continue to study current the non -promotional water rates to ensure the effectiveness of the rate
structure. This BMP corresponds to WC-7 of the Master Plan.
7.2.2 EMPLOY A WATER CONSERVATION COORDINATOR
A common element in successful conservation programs is a conservation coordinator who is
responsible for implementing and maintaining the conservation program. This person would be
responsible for preparing and implementing the City's water conservation and drought contingency
plans, prepare and submit the annual conservation status reports, and implement the utility's
conservation program. The City has identified a water conservation coordinator as important in fully
implementing the elements of this plan. This BMP corresponds to WC-8 of the Master Plan.
7.2.3 METER REPLACEMENT AND TESTING
An efficient metering system raises a customer's awareness of the true amount of water the customer is
consuming, which can help the customer make changes to his or her habits. The City implemented a
meter exchange program in 2008 that provides for the annual replacement of 10% of the City's
meters each year. Large meters not included in the annual replacement program are tested and
repaired or replaced annually. The master meters measuring total volume of water delivered to the City
were replaced in 2008, with the addition of a meter in 2012, and are tested annually. This BMP
corresponds to WC-9 of the Master Plan.
7.2.4 UTILIZE WEATHER STATIONS TO PROVIDE OUTDOOR IRRIGATION INFORMATION
Currently, the City utilizes weather stations located at sites with City property, like lift stations, pump
stations, and parks. TRWD has developed an interactive weather station program to install weather
stations throughout its service area to provide consumers with weekly watering advice and other
irrigation efficiency information through the Water is Awesome website.
This service will provide the public advanced information regarding outdoor irrigation needs, thereby
reducing water use. A weekly email that will tell the customer how long (in minutes) an irrigation
system needs to run based on the past seven days of weather. This recommendation provides the actual
amount of supplemental water that is required for a healthy lawn based on research of the Texas A&M
AgriLife Extension Service
and proven technologies. Southlake will promote this program, encourage its retail and wholesale
customers to participate in the program, and make the information available through its website. This
BMP corresponds to WC-11 of the Master Plan.
7.2.5 INVENTORY OF WELL WATER
Many of Southlake's water customers utilize groundwater as a source. More than 65% of well water
applications have indicated the groundwater is used for irrigation purposes. The relationship between
self-reliant well water users and municipally provided water arises when wells dry up, pumps fail, or for
other reasons property owners choose to utilize municipal water. This potential demand is unaccounted
for and the City has identified the need to maintain an inventory of existing water wells. This BMP
corresponds to WC-12 and WC-13 of the Master Plan.
7.2.6 PERIODICALLY REVIEW WATER CONSERVING ORDINANCES
The City has adopted a number of water conserving policies in building codes, including the 2015
residential code, 2015 plumbing code, and 2015 energy code. As discussed in section 7.1.3 the City has
adopted landscape irrigation code that promotes water conserving features.
Because technology frequently changes, codes should reflect technological advancements and policy
should reflect changes in attitudes. The City will review plumbing codes on a frequency of once every
five years to identify relevant changes that promote further water conservation. This BMP corresponds
to WC-14 of the Master Plan.
7.2.7 DEVELOP A MUNICIPAL WATER CONSERVATION POLICY
The City will implement a policy of adopting water conserving features, where possible. Replacement at
older facilities water fixtures will be of more efficient fixtures. Implementing the replacement of older
building water fixtures such as toilets, urinals, lavatory faucets, irrigation, cooling towers and water
brooms with higher efficiency water fixtures will help reduce the water consumption in these buildings
that are consistently occupied. This BMP corresponds to WC-15 of the Master Plan.
7.2.8 CONTINUE TO UTILIZE ADVANCED METER INFRASTRUCTURE
New technology known as Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) has the potential to change the way
water consumption is measured. In 2016, Southlake completed the process of converting to totally
electronic meters which provides customer interface through smart -phone apps and desktop software to
promote customer awareness and tool for detecting household leaks and water waste. The City will also
use this technology to identify backflow incidents and water theft. This BMP corresponds to WC-17 and
WC-18 of the Master Plan.
7.3 CONSERVATION PROGRAMS FOR RESIDENTIAL, INDUSTRIAL,
COMMERCIAL, AND INSTITUTIONAL ACCOUNTS
7.3.1 RESIDENTIAL IRRIGATION SYSTEM EVALUATION AND REPAIR REBATE PROGRAM
The City currently contracts with a vendor to promote water conserving techniques in existing landscape
irrigation systems. The vendor evaluates the irrigation system for leaks, breaks, misalignments, and
other issues that create inefficiencies. The City follows up by offering a rebate to the homeowner to
offset the cost of repairs and changes to the system to make it more efficient. This BMP corresponds to
WC-19 of the Master Plan.
7.3.2 COMMERCIAL AND INSTITUTIONAL IRRIGATION EVALUATION AND REPAIR REBATE
PROGRAM
The City will consider expanding the program described in section 7.3.1 to offer irrigation evaluations
and repair rebates to commercial and institutional customer that use large amounts of water. This BMP
corresponds to WC-22 of the Master Plan.
7.3.3 WATER CONSUMPTION IMPACT ANALYSIS
To help determine how new development will impact the water system, the City will require certain
developments to complete a consumption impact analysis. This impact analysis will help the City assess
water use as the City reaches a built -out phase. This BMP corresponds to WC-20 of the Master Plan.
7.3.4 RAINWATER HARVESTING AND GRAYWATER USE
Residential harvesting, condensate reuse, and graywater use are potential alternative water supplies.
Large properties with the potential to utilize these alternative non -potable uses for landscaping
irrigation can help conserve municipally -supplied sources. The City will seek out a cost-effective measure
to encourage the use of these alternative sources. This BMP corresponds to WC-21 of the Master Plan.
8.0 ADOPTION OF WATER CONSERVATION PLAN; PERIODIC REVIEW AND
UPDATE OF PLAN
All of the BMPs in this plan were selected for the City of Southlake through the adoption of the Master
Plan. Opportunity for public comment on the Master Plan was provided as described in Section 1.0.
Opportunity for public comment on this plan is provided at a City of Southlake City Council Meetings on
April 2, 2019 for the first reading of Ordinance 895-D and on April 16, 2019 for the second reading and
public hearing after which this Water Conservation Plan will be adopted. TCEQ and TWDB require that
Water Conservation Plans be reviewed and, if necessary, updated every five years to coincide with the
regional water planning process. This Water Conservation Plan will be updated as required by TCEQ and
TWDB and, in addition, will be continually reassessed for opportunities to improve water efficiency and
conservation based on new or updated information.

C. Wastewater System Data Comment
Additional comments and files to support or explain wastewater system data listed below.
All of the wastewater collected in the City's sewer system is treated through a contract with the Trinity
River Authority. Approximately one-third of the wastewater is treated at the Denton Creek wastewater
treatment plant, with the rest being treated at the Central Regional Wastewater System treatment plant.
Because Southlake's contribution to each of these plants is small relative to the plants' capacities,
Question #1 does not pertain to this utility profile. Because we have no treatment facilities within City
boundaries, we do not have access to reused water data at this time.

• Water Conservation Master Plan
1.0 INTRODUCTION
In Southlake, water conservation
is envisioned to include a set of
strategies which will enable the
City to utilize essential water
resources in a wise and prudent
manner, both through supply
management, in which the City of
Southlake maximizes the efficient
delivery and use of water, and
through demand management in
which the customer practices the
efficient use of this finite resource.
Water conservation is not a
matter of continually reducing
water use without limit. Nor is it intended to deprive our community of
the benefits for which it was intended, including the essential benefits
of health and sanitation, nutrition, aesthetics and the appealing
environment we all enjoy. Water that remains in our streams and
reservoirs provide us many benefits which are important to our
customers and our community. When water is used efficiently, more
water can remain for recreation, wetlands, dilution, natural aesthetics,
and habitat for fish and other wildlife. When demands are manageable
the City can ensure its ability to provide water adequately as the
community grows. Customers benefit by extending supplies, protecting
the environment, and the wise use of their money.
Water conservation is not free and may not always be cheap. When
customers use less water, the City of Southlake's costs do not decrease
proportionally. On the other hand, conservation defers the need for
supply expansion, thereby deferring some water rate increases. In any
case, since not everyone conserves at the same rate, those who
conserve will definitely save more money than those who do not.
Many of the programs contained in this plan -- leak detection, billing
information, education programs — place accountability on the City. Yet
much of the potential savings must come from the actions and habits
of our water customers. Water conservation is many small actions that
add up to a big difference. It makes sense and saves cents.
SOUTHLAKE 2030 VISION STATEMENT
Southlake will continue to enhance its status as a desirable,
attractive, safe, healthy and fiscally -sound community with quality
neighborhoods, while maintaining a high standard of living,
learning, shopping, working, recreation, and open spaces. Southlake
will continue to be a vibrant community that epitomizes both
economic and environmental sustainability.
1.1 Overview of Water Consumption in Texas
Though Southlake through the development of this plan is addressing
issues within its boundaries, it cannot ignore the fact that there are
larger issues facing the region and state which in turn directly affects
the City. Growing at a rate of approximately 1,100 people per day over
the last decade, Texas is one of the fastest growing states in the nation.
By 2060, the population of the state is projected to increase to over 46
million people. Rapid growth, combined with Texas' robust economy
and susceptibility to drought, makes water supply a crucial issue. If
[SOUTHLAKE 20301

• Water Conservation Master Plan
water infrastructure and water management strategies are not
implemented, Texas could face serious social, economic, and
environmental consequences in both the large metropolitan areas as
well as the vast rural areas of the state.

PROJECTED WATER DEMAND AND EXISTING SUPPLIES (ACRE-FEET PER YEAR)
Although the population in Texas is projected to increase 82 percent
over 50 years, water demand in the state is projected to increase by
only 22 percent, from about 18 million acre-feet per year in 2010 to a
demand of about 22 million acre-feet per year in 2060. Demand for
municipal water (including rural county -other) is expected to increase
from 4.9 million acre-feet in 2010 to 8.4 million acre-feet in 2060.
However, demand for agricultural irrigation water is expected to
decrease, from 10 million acre-feet per year in 2010 to about 8.4
million acre-feet per year in 2060, due to more efficient irrigation
systems, reduced groundwater supplies, and the transfer of water
rights from agricultural to municipal uses. Water demands for
manufacturing, steam -electric, power generation and livestock are
expected to increase, while mining demand is expected to remain
relatively constant.
In short, Texas does not have enough existing water supplies today to
meet the demand for water during times of drought. In the event of
severe drought conditions, the state would face an immediate need for
additional water supplies of 3.6 million acre-feet per year with 86
percent of that need in irrigation and about 9 percent associated
directly with municipal water users. Total needs are projected to
increase by 130 percent between 2010 and 2060 to 8.3 million acre-
feet per year. In 2060, irrigation represents 45 percent of the total
needs and municipal users account for 41 percent of needs.

Droughts in Texas
Droughts are periods of less than average precipitation over a period of
time. The Palmer Drought Severity Index is often used to quantify long-
term drought conditions and is commonly used by the U.S. Department
[SOUTHLAKE 20301
3
• Water Conservation Master Plan
of Agriculture to help make policy decisions such as when to grant
emergency drought assistance. The severity of drought depends upon
several factors, though duration and intensity are the two primary
components. The drought of record during the 1950s ranks the worst
on record in terms of both duration and intensity. However, it should
be noted that drought rankings can be misleading since a single year of
above average rainfall can interrupt a prolonged drought, reducing its
ranking. Nonetheless, on a statewide basis, the drought of the 1950s
still remains the most severe drought the state has ever experienced
based on recorded measurements of precipitation. Other significant
droughts in Texas occurred in the late 1800s and the 1910s, 1930s, and
1960s.
LAKE GRAPEVINE DURING DROUGHT CONDITIONS
In the past decade, North Texas has experienced two major episodes of
drought. The first started in the summer of 2005 and brought the most
severe drought conditions Southlake has experienced during this
period. Spring rains in early 2007 brought relief to the region. Starting
in October, 2010 many parts of Texas, including North Texas, started to
experience drought conditions that brought one of the hottest
summers on record and little precipitation.
During the drought of 2005-2006, the Tarrant Regional Water District
(TRWD) along with its primary customers, including the City of Fort
Worth from whom Southlake purchases its water, began revising their
drought plans to align and coordinate our response to reflect a more
regional approach. TRWD also revised its drought triggers to be more
proactive and meaningful — so that the region could stretch water
supplies before critical low points in lake elevation.
August 2011 was the first time Tarrant Regional Water District
implemented water restrictions because of its drought plan. Stage 1
drought restrictions went into effect after total storage capaCity in our
reservoirs reached 75%. The restrictions were in effect from Aug. 29,
2011 — May 4, 2012. Southlake implemented water restriction based
on local triggers meant to protect the supply system due to high
demands. Water restrictions were also implemented in July of 2008,
2009 and 2011 when the capaCity of the Southlake system was strained
and water levels in three of the elevated storage tanks dropped quickly
for three consecutive days. Since that time, Southlake has completed a
30" water line which improves the transmission of water throughout
the City.
The purpose of this plan will be to promote the efficient use of water to
ensure its availability for essential needs, even during times of limited
rainfall, or drought.
[SOUTHLAKE 20301

• Water Conservation Master Plan
1.2 The Texas State Water Plan
The availability of water has always influenced patterns of settlement,
and communities in Texas originally grew where water was plentiful.
However, as many of the state's communities have grown, they have
outgrown their water supplies. This has made it more and more
necessary to make efficient use of our local water resources, to work
cooperatively with one another on regional solutions to water
problems, and to move water around the state when necessary to
meet the needs of all our communities.
WATER FOR TEXAS 2012 STATE WATER PLAN
2012
Water for Texas
TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD
The purpose of the State Water Plan is to ensure that all of the state's
communities have adequate supplies of water during times of drought.
The 2012 State Water Plan is Texas' ninth state water plan and the
third to be developed through the regional water planning process,
initiated by the Texas Legislature in 1997. When the first state water
plan was published in 1961, the population of Texas was less than half
the size it is today, with 9.6 million residents. At the time this plan was
adopted, only a third of Texans lived in urban areas and 79 percent of
the communities in the state obtained their water supplies from
groundwater wells. Now there are over 25 million Texans. Our
population has become older, less rural, and more diverse.
Communities in the state obtain much more of their water supplies
from surface water such as rivers and lakes, but also from new sources
such as reuse and desalination. While a lot has changed since the first
water plan, much remains the same. All or part of the state is often too
wet or too dry, and planning for times of drought is every bit as
relevant today as it was then.

REGIONAL WATER PLANNING AREAS
5
• Water Conservation Master Plan
The 2012 State Water Plan is based on regional water plans that are
updates to the 2006 regional water plans from the state's 16 regional
water planning areas. During this planning cycle, the regional water
plans were focused primarily on changed conditions, since new
population data from the U.S. Census Bureau was not available to
significantly update projections of future water demands. The last state
water plan, Water for Texas-2007, included population and water
demand projections based on newly released 2000 U.S. Census data,
and its adoption coincided with the 50th anniversary of TWDB and the
commencement of the 80th Texas Legislative session. It also included
comprehensive summaries of all of the river basins and aquifers in the
state.
According to the Texas Water Development Board, by 2060 the state's
demand for water is likely to increase by 27 percent compared to its
demand in 2000. The 2012 State Water Plan anticipates $53 billion
worth of projects to avoid water shortages over 50 years. The plan also
aims to have 34% of the new water come from conservation and reuse.
As such, the Southlake plan provides a number of recommendations to
increase water conservation in the City.
The majority of water used in Texas (59 percent in 2003, according to
the state's 2007 water plan) is supplied by groundwater. Conversely,
Region C of the Texas Water Development Board, which includes
Tarrant County and 15 other North Texas counties, relies on surface
water for more than 80% of its supply. Dependence on surface water is
anticipated to increase.
In Region C, municipal demands, such as residential use, was 1.5 million
acre-feet (4.9 billion gallons) in 2010. The U.S. Census Bureau has
predicted that North Texas will nearly double its population from 2010
to 2060 to 13 million people. By 2060, North Texas' municipal demand
for water is estimated to increase to 2.9 million acre-feet (9.4 billion
gallons).
To meet growing water needs, Region C anticipates developing an
additional 2.4 million acre-feet by 2060, with a total capital cost of
$21.5 billion if all recommended water management strategies are
implemented.

The City of Fort Worth is
Southlake's sole water
provider. Fort Worth
Water Utilities, in turn, is a
customer of Tarrant
Regional Water District
(TRWD). TRWD manages
four major reservoirs:
Lake Bridgeport Eagle
Mountain Lake, Cedar
Creek Reservoir, and
Richland Chambers
Reservoir. Fort Worth also
utilizes two minor regional
lakes.
In addition to new reservoirs and other capital improvements, Region C
of the Texas Water Development Board identifies conservation
strategies to account for approximately 12 percent (290,709 acre-feet)
of the total volume of water. The recommended strategies for all
municipal users include
➢ Education
➢ Pricing structure,
➢ Water waste prohibitions,
➢ Water system audits, and
➢ Plumbing code changes
These strategies were included with the City's own recommendations
in this Water Conservation Master Plan.

• Water Conservation Master Plan
1.3 Purpose and Relationship to the Comprehensive Plan
Water conservation has increasingly been an important element of
Southlake's long range goals due to the rapid growth of the region,
greater demand for water resources and uncertain environmental
drought conditions that all affect the City and its residents. During the
development of the Water System Master Plan in 2012, the consultants
provided the City with important information on Water Demand
Projections, Water Supply, Storage, Pump Stations, Distribution System
and Recommended System Improvements. One of these
recommendations that resulted from the analysis was for the City to
consider the development of a more comprehensive water
conservation plan in order to help ensure future water needs of the
City are met.
W In addition, during the
development of the Southlake
2030's Vision, Goals & Objectives an
area the City wanted to pursue is
sustainability. Objective 7.2 in the
T Vision, Goals & Objectives indicates
the City should promote public
awareness and education on such
nIA116
sustainability issues such as public
(D
r� health, energy and water
conservation and overall
V)A2030 environmental stewardship.
The intent of this plan is to meet that objective, implement the
recommendation from the Water System Master Plan and to provide
the framework to implement a cost effective and efficient water
conservation program in the City.
The Water Conservation Master Plan is a component of the Southlake
2030 Plan, the City's comprehensive plan. The comprehensive plan is a
reflection of the community's values and serves as a blueprint for
Southlake's future. More specifically, the comprehensive plan
establishes a framework to coordinate the City's activities and to guide
the City's decision -making for the next 20 years. As such, the
comprehensive plan and its components are updated on a regular
basis. In this particular case, the updating of other components of the
comprehensive plan has resulted in the development of a new
component, the Water Conservation Master Plan.

1.4 Relationship to Southlake's Strategic Management System
Strategic planning is an ongoing process where resources, critical
concerns, community priorities and citizen needs are combined to
produce both a plan for the future and a measure for results. More
specifically, Southlake's Strategic Management System links the City's
[SOUTHLAKE 20301
7
• Water Conservation Master Plan
day-to-day activities to a comprehensive long-term strategy for public
policy and management decisions.
The Strategic Management System identifies Strategic Focus Areas and
Objectives to guide effective and efficient resource allocation and
provides benchmarks to assess performance. The Strategic Focus
Areas and Objectives are driven by the City's Citizen Survey and are
outlined in the City's Strategy Map (see exhibit on page 9).
The Strategic Management System guided the development of the
Southlake 2030 Plan Vision, Goals and Objectives (VGO), which define a
desired direction for growth in the City. As such, all recommendations
in the Southlake 2030 Plan are tied to at least one Strategic Focus Area
from the Strategic Management System and at least one Objective
from the adopted Vision, Goals and Objectives. These
recommendations guide the development of the Capital Improvements
Program (a five-year plan for the purchase, construction or
replacement of the City's physical assets) as well as departmental
business plans. In turn, the Capital Improvements Program and
departmental business plans dictate the City's day-to-day activities and
ensure the City is working to achieve the community's goals.
Further, the Southlake 2030 Comprehensive Plan assists the City
Council and Boards and Commissions in decision -making by
establishing a blueprint for the City's future. For example, the Planning
& Zoning Commission and City Council will use the Water Conservation
Master Plan to evaluate requests related to development to determine
whether or not the goals of this plan have been met and if are they
consistent with the community's needs and goals. Using the Plan as a
guide helps to secure the community's vision for long term water
conservation.

1.5 Goals & Objectives
A well -formed Water Conservation Master Plan should not deprive the
community of essential water uses; rather, it should provide a
blueprint for efficient water use and should be tailored to fit the
community's needs. The benefits of water conservation not only
include those derived from avoided costs, but also other benefits that
may not be as easily enumerated in terms of dollars yet hold significant
importance to the City in terms of value. Some of the benefits of water
conservation include:
y Delays the need to develop expensive future water supplies
Costs associated with
developing new water supplies
(or purchasing new water) are
numerous. These can include
capital costs for construction
of reservoirs, pumping
facilities, pipelines, treatment
plants, water storage, and
related facilities; costs of
obtaining water rights and
permits; and operational costs
such as labor, energy, and
chemicals.
➢ Extends the life of existing water supplies and infrastructure
Pressures within the water system will increase in localized areas in
order to meet increasing customer demands. Increased pressures
within an aging infrastructure will mean more leaks from the system.
When water demands are maintained or reduced through
conservation, higher system pressure is avoided.
Reduces demand infrastructure and cost
A water system is sized to meet its customers' peak demands. When
these peak demands are reduced through water conservation, a
portion of the system's capaCity is freed -up for other water customers.
This, in effect, increases the base capaCity of the system.
Lowers capital and operating costs of the existing system
The need for expanding the water treatment and distribution system is
delayed or avoided. Operational costs, such as power and chemicals,
are also reduced. Other benefits include the generation of positive
environmental effects, improving customer good will and promoting a
positive image for Southlake.
The following goals & objectives will set up the framework for which
this plan is intended to be built upon:
Educate residents, businesses owners and related industry
professionals and promote public awareness;
Revise & implement the current Water Conservation Plan;
Avoid local implementation of the Drought Contingency Plan
and reduce impact to the water system;
Reduce seasonal peak demands;
Reduce water loss and waste;
Allow continued economic growth and development and
improve the quality of life; and
"Lead by example" by upgrading City facilities with water
efficient fixtures, landscapes, and irrigation systems wherever
possible.

2.0 WATER SYSTEM PROFILE
Historical Development
When the City of Southlake incorporated in 1956 the rural, sparsely
developed community depended on wells as their sole source of water
supply. In 1965 a bond election for water infrastructure passed,
allowing the City to
develop four wells
that provided
enough capaCity to
serve the City until
1985.
In 1985 the City
entered into a
contract with the
City of Fort Worth as
a wholesale water
provider to
AERIAL DURING CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW FLORENCE Southlake. Based
WATERTOWER upon that new supply
source, the City of
Southlake began to develop a water system in earnest to supply,
distribute, store and pump the treated water from Fort Worth.
By 2006 the City of Southlake had completed a number of projects so
that delivery was a little more than 20 million gallons per day. By 2009
population growth and residential consumption had increased to the
point that demands during the summer months started to exceed 20
million gallons per day (MGD). During that time the City had taken
steps to plan for, budget and construct improvements based on
priorities identified in its Water System Master Plan.
System CapaCity and Build -out Planning
An update to the Water System Master Plan was adopted in June, 2012
as part of the development of the Southlake 2030 comprehensive plan.
Major elements of the study guiding the development of the plan
included water demand projection, water supply, storage capaCity,
pumping capabilities, distribution, recommended system
improvements, and system maps which have helped in providing a
utility profile.
One result of the study was findings on future water demand. Based on
population projections developed by the North Texas Council of
Governments total water demand is expected to increase from a peak
demand of 26.9 millions of gallons per day (MGD) in 2012 to a peak day
demand of 34.5 MGD at build out. Study recommendations for the
Water System Master Plan have been built around meeting this
demand.
Along with infrastructure elements in the Water System Master Plan, a
recommendation was made for staff to undertake a the development
of an overall Water Conservation Master Plan. The Water System
Master Plan Committee identified the conservation plan to provide the
following information:
➢ An analysis of the community's demographics as it
relates to potable water;
Estimate the effectiveness of recent water
conservation and drought contingency measures; and,
➢ Develop a 10-year plan for effective water
conservation measures that could be used to reduce
the consumption of potable water based upon the
City's specific demographics through the
implementation of water conservation measures
[SOUTHLAKE 20301

• Water Conservation Master Plan
2.1 Description of Water Use
Water consumption by water utilities serving municipal water
customers is driven by a wide variety of domestic, commercial,
industrial and institutional needs. Thus, understanding water use is an
important component of any water conservation program.
Total Consumption and GPCD
AERIAL OF PEARSON PUMP STATION
Total water consumption here is defined by the number of gallons
drawn into Southlake from the City of Fort Worth and measured by a
meter at the pump station on Pearson Road. The average amount of
water taken from the City of Fort Worth from calendar years 2003 to
2012 was 3.06 billion gallons. The maximum amount in that same
period was 3.74 billion gallons in 2011 and the minimum amount was
2.36 billion in 2004.
Water use is normalized for population growth. This normalization of
water use is the most common comparison. Per capita use provides a
way to compare water use regardless of growth and a way to roughly
compare (see inset about GPCD on the next page) across multiple
communities.

Summer Use
Water use increases substantially starting at the growing season each
year. Summer use is a significant factor in total water use and
comparing summer use to winter use gives insight into how much
water is used outdoors. The following graphs show the fluctuations of
demand put on the water system annually.
In Southlake, the winter/summer ratio is 1:3. For comparison to other
cities in Texas, the City of Houston has a summer/winter ratio of 1:1.2,
and the City of Lubbock has a ratio of 1:1.6 (Drop by Drop, 2010).

It is evident from the graph below that residential sales encompass the
vast majority of water sold in Southlake. Residential sales average 86%
of total volume, while commercial and HOA sales are 11% and 3%,
respectively. This can be expected as there are more residential

■ Total Gallons Residential Total Gallons HOA Total Gallons Commercial
From the above information, it is evident that residential consumption
is the driving force in terms of use, peak demands and the
development of an infrastructure that meets these demands.
Understanding, first how much water is used in this residential setting
and some of the reasons why, will help shape how conservation
measure recommendations are shaped up.
Residential use can vary for a number of reasons, including lot sizes,
type of development, and many other features that neighborhoods
share. Some of those variations can be visualized through analysis of
neighborhoods. In this study, residential water accounts were divided
by SPIN (Southlake Program for the Involvement of Neighborhoods)
provides boundaries of eleven neighborhoods within the City of
Southlake) and analyzed annually. The accounts included 1" and 2"
residential meters and 1" and 2" irrigation meters dedicated to non-
HOA and non-commercial accounts. The data used was available from
2006 to 2012.
The average annual use per account per SPIN was found by dividing the
total gallons sold in that SPIN by the number of accounts in that SPIN.
More water was consumed per account in northwestern sector and
central sector of the City (SPINS 1 and 5). The least amount per account
was consumed in the northeastern sector (SPINS 2 and 4) and far
southwestern sector of the City (SPIN 11).
[SOUTHLAKE 20301
AVERAGE ANNUAL WATER USE PER SPIN
14
• Water Conservation Master Plan
A map of the average summer use per account in each SPIN (July
through August) is below. The similarity to annual use indicates, as
expected, that water use per account is highly driven by the amount of
water use in the summer months.
Because water use is viewed as largely irrigation driven, it can be
expected that lots with large acreage will use much more water,
especially during the growing season.
AVERAGE WATER USE PER SPIN DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS (JUNE-AUGUST)
However, do Southlake residents use more water because residents
have more land to irrigate? This is a difficult question to answer
because there are many factors in how much water an individual lot
uses for irrigation purposes. Apples to apples comparisons have not
been fully developed by other water purveyors in the region. The City
should continue to evaluate and study the factors that drive outdoor
uses in Southlake to better focus efforts on education and outreach
programs.
2.2 Managing Water Demand Peaks
One of the biggest challenges a water provider can face is peaks (or
spikes) in demand that strain the capaCity of the system. Managing
these peaks is difficult, even when the water system is well -developed.
Similar to building a highway to manage peak rush-hour traffic, a water
provider must anticipate the peak demand and build a system to
deliver that peak demand.
The City of Southlake is contractually bound to our wholesale water
supplier, the City of Fort Worth, to pay peaking charges and adhere to
drought contingency plans and conservation requirements, such as the
adopted Drought Contingency Plan shown in Appendix B of this plan.
These contract provisions are designed to help manage these water
demand peaks. In extreme cases, failure to do so can result in loss of
pressure in the system requiring customers to boil water before using
it, and/or simply running out of water. These scenarios pose public
health and safety risks, including creating a situation where there is not
adequate fire flow available to extinguish a fire.
In Southlake, these peaks occur during the heat of the summer and are
driven by water use for irrigation. Irrigation uses during the summer
months can account for more than 60% of the total water demand.
In addition to the challenges these peak pose in development and
management of the infrastructure, the peak demand fees paid to the
City of Fort Worth have been a financial burden to the utility. The
average peak demand fee paid over a seven year period was $1.5
million (2006-2012), or 25% of the total annual amount paid to the City
of Fort Worth.

2.3 Drought and Water Demands in Southlake
Droughts have been recorded as a problem in Texas since Spaniards
explored the area. Even Stephen F. Austin's first colonists were affected
by droughts. In 1822 their initial food crop of corn died from lack of
moisture. Each decade since then has been marked by at least one
period of severe drought. Associated with dry times are grasshopper
plagues, brush and grass fires, sand and dust storms, crop failures and
depression, livestock deaths, disease resulting from insufficient and
impure drinking water, and migrations of citizens from parched
territory. There has been at least one serious drought in some part of
the state every decade of the twentieth century. The most catastrophic
one affected every part of the state in the first two thirds of the
1950s. (Texas State Historical Association)
In recent history, the City of Southlake has experienced a range of
conditions from very wet (2007) to exceptional drought (2006).
Records from the US Drought Monitor of historical local conditions
were graphed on a timeline. Super -imposing per capita water use on
drought conditions, it is evident drought is another major driving factor
in overall water consumption.
The summer of 2011 illustrated the difficulty of meeting demand
during adverse weather conditions. The figure shown below is a
cumulative annual rainfall comparison which demonstrates that 2011
rainfall totals were less than in the 1950s Texas drought, one of the
worst droughts in the State's history.
Additionally, the National Weather Service reported in September 2011
that Texas temperatures during the months of June — August 2011
were the hottest three months ever recorded during the history of the
United States, breaking the record that had stood since the Dust Bowl
storms in 1932. The average temperature in Texas during this period,
including overnight lows and scorching daytime highs, was 86.8
degrees, more than a degree hotter than the 77 year old record of 85.2
degrees.

5outhlakeWater consumption Irencls
In 2011, summer average consumption on a per capita basis was 30%
higher than in 2003. Southlake water customers consumed 2.5 times
more during the summer of 2011 than during the remaining winter
months. This demand, created by drought conditions and extreme
heat, tested the City's system capabilities. The exhibit below illustrates
Southlake's water consumption trends (per capita winter, per capita
summer and per capita annual average) for the period of 2003-2011.
Further complicating the situation, under directive of the Water
Conservation Plan, outdoor watering was only permitted between
10:00 am and 6:00 pm. This schedule compressed watering that had
previously been allowed throughout the day into a 16-hour period,
creating large consumption spikes at certain hours of the day in
Southlake. Summer 2011 illustrated the importance of having a plan in
place to 1) proactively promote conservation and 2) restrict water use
for irrigation when necessitated by extreme weather conditions and
excessive demands.
"2011 was special — the driest year Texas has seen since modern
recordkeeping began in 1895. Rains in October and beyond brought some
relief to parts of the state, but the drought's toll for 2011 still runs into
billions in damage. And it may well continue into 2012 — or longer.
In Texas, reliable water resources have always been the lifeblood of our
economy and an entire way of life. And in today's fast-growing state, those
resources are being tested as never before. "-Special Report to Texas
Legislature, the Impact of the 2011 Drought and Beyond
To manage water demand in peak periods, the City of Southlake has
enacted a Water Conservation Ordinance No. 895-B and a Drought
Contingency Ordinance No. 662-D. These ordinances specify how water
may be used when demand creates conditions that can compromise
the system. The ordinances contain certain predetermined triggers
(such as low elevated tank levels for consecutive days) that define the
[SOUTHLAKE 20301
17
• Water Conservation Master Plan
type of restrictions that may be enacted. These elevated tank trigger
levels were chosen based upon fire flow requirements needed should a
large fire emergency break out in the City. Both of these ordinances can
be found under Appendix A and Appendix B of this plan.
The City of Southlake implemented Stage I restrictions during the
summers of 2008, 2009, and 2011. The extreme conditions of 2011
caused the City to expand its water conservation public
education/communication program, including the use of a program
focused on top water users. This program, called WISE Guys, was
designed to provide property owners a comprehensive evaluation of
their irrigation systems. The City provides a rebate of up to $200 for
any repairs, changes or upgrades resulting from the evaluation. In
addition, the City enforced water restrictions. Voluntary compliance
was encouraged, but citations were also issued when compliance was
not achieved and conditions warranted. As a part of this master plan, it
is the City's goal to avoid when possible the implementation of the
Drought Contingency ordinance and the possible enforcement
measures involved.
2.4 Future Supply Challenges
The total supply available for the City of Southlake at build out is
estimated at 36 MGD. The future build -out peak day demand is
projected to be 34.5 MGD. While it appears that supply capaCity will
exceed ultimate demand, the City should also evaluate additional
means to reduce consumption as well as investigating other supply
improvements. While the system will be built at a certain capaCity,
within an environment that is consistently seeing more frequent
droughts, it is difficult to know whether or not sufficient water will be
available to meet those peak drought demands. Additional study could
include increasing supply (from the City of Fort Worth or other
providers such as the Trinity River Authority or Upper Trinity Regional
Water District) but Southlake and the region are still facing the same
issue of supply.
2.5 Other Considerations
[SOUTHLAKE 20301
18
• Water Conservation Master Plan
Age of Existing Structures
In 1992, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established
standards for water conservation to be applied and implemented on
water fixtures such as toilets, shower heads, faucets and other uses to
help save an estimated 6.5 billion gallons of water per day. The map on
the previous page shows the decade in which the building or structure
on site was constructed. The majority of the development that has
occurred in Southlake has been after the implementation of the EPA
Act of 1992, so it can be safe to assume that the majority of the water
fixtures within these buildings and structures meet efficiency
standards.
Groundwater Availability
Historically, groundwater has been an important source of water for
Southlake residents and it continues to play an important role in total
water availability for residents, businesses and property owners. A
review of state and county records from a previous study (Kleinfelder,
2010) showed that in 2010 there were 588 wells within the City limits
of Southlake. More than 65% of the well applications had indicated
irrigation as the proposed use of water.
Wells within the City of Southlake utilize aquifers from two geologic
formations — the Woodbine Formation and the Trinity Group. Within
the Trinity Group, the Paluxy Aquifer and the Twin Mountains Aquifer
are the water bearing units utilized.
The Woodbine aquifer is considered a minor aquifer of Texas. The
formation and recharge zone crops out or reaches the surface on the
eastern portions of Tarrant County, including Southlake, and continues
to dip eastward. The primary source of groundwater recharge for the
formation is from rainfall events in the outcrop areas and stored in
saturated sand beds. Water quality within the aquifer varies
significantly in lower potions of

the aquifer. The upper portions, including Southlake, yield water with
highly elevated concentrations of iron that limits use.
According to water well database reports, groundwater elevations
within the Woodbine aquifer range from 12 to 40 feet below ground
surface in Southlake. Utilization is dominated by irrigation (75%),
followed by providing domestic supply (24%).

MAJOR AQUIFERS OF TEXAS
The Paluxy Aquifer is the upper member of the Trinity Group, a major
aquifer, cropping out to the west of Southlake. The Paluxy Formation
and aquifer dips to the southeast where, beneath Southlake, it occurs
approximately 400 to 600 feet below ground surface. This aquifer
yields small to moderate amounts of fresh to slightly saline water. This
aquifer is mostly used for domestic supply (49%), and irrigation
purposes (31%).
In 2007 the 80th Texas Legislature created the Northern Trinity
Groundwater District (NTGCD) "in order to conserve, preserve, protect,
and prevent the waste of groundwater resources in Tarrant County'.
By 2010 the NTGCD had adopted rules governing certain wells in
Tarrant County. It is unclear at this time how these rules currently
affect wells in the City of Southlake and the future of groundwater use.
The relationship between self-reliant well water users and municipally
provided water arises when wells dry up, pumps fail, or for other
reasons property owners choose to move to using municipal water.
This potential new demand is unaccounted for at this time. Thus, it is
important that the City understand the status of groundwater
availability and water well activity within the City's jurisdiction.

• Water Conservation Master Plan
3.0 CURRENT MEASURES
3.1 Public Education Measures
Staff has made available information about water conservation over
the last several years, including direct mail, information on the City's
website, articles in mysouthlakenews.com, and brochures distributed
at different municipal locations and at events. In addition, staff has
distributed materials that encourage water conservation, including
moisture meters (for the soil), rain gauges, spray nozzles, shower
timers and other give-aways. In 2009 municipal staff worked with the
Bob Jones Nature Center to create a display at the nature center
showing the annual average water use and tips on reducing water. The
City has used its website and mysouthlakenews.com to provide updates
on the current conditions, information about water conservation
measures for the home, for the landscape, and similar information.
For the last several years, prior to the adoption of this plan, the City has
utilized a speakers -bureau through the Texas Agrilife Extension Service
and similar resources to bring presentations to Southlake on topics
regarding water conservation, including native and adaptive plant
selection, irrigation 101, and rainwater harvesting.
In addition, staff has presented information regarding water
conservation in many different avenues, including at City Council
regarding water use and water conservation measures, Carroll High
School classes regarding water use and other water topics, the Business
Council, and the Senior Citizens Center.
3.2 Ordinances
Water Conservation Plan
This plan was adopted by ordinance as a required element of the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality. This ordinance, adopted in 2008
created a five-year plan to address water conservation. As required by
the state, the City will update this plan every five years. This element
of the 2030 plan will guide future documents.
Drought Contingency Plan
As with the Water Conservation Plan adopted in 2008, the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality requires each City adopt a
drought contingency plan. This plan is guided by the City's contractual
obligations to the City of Fort Worth.
Landscape Ordinance
In December, 2011 the City revised the landscape ordinance with
specific requirement to address water waste through the installation of
[SOUTHLAKE 20301
21
• Water Conservation Master Plan
pressure regulating devices, particularly spray heads and rotor bodies
or order to reduce system misting and aid in proper water placement.
The ordinance also encourages water conserving methods in
installations when possible.
3.3 Programs
W.I.S.E. Guys Program
The Public Works Department launched a program in March, 2011
targeting residential irrigation use. This program, called W.I.S.E. (Water
Irrigation System Evaluation) Guys, has been advertised to residents as
a means to better understand the homeowner's irrigation system and
to make improvements or repairs as needed. The program has received
high regard among participants, where 100% of those who responded
by survey said he/she would recommend the program to a friend.
There have been over 400 participants as of March, 2013.
Irrigation Review and Inspection
With the adoption of state regulations in 2009, irrigation plan review
and installation inspection requirements increased for the City. In order
to receive a final irrigation inspection, the licensed irrigator must
submit as -built plans, a signed homeowner checklist, and other
documentation. The irrigation final consists of an inspection of major
components of the system. Commercial systems require a walk-
through inspection.
Plumbing Review and Inspection
The most current plumbing code, the International Plumbing Code of
2009, encourages water conservation through review of the design of
the distribution system for maximum flow and through the use of rain
water harvesting and grey water recycling.
Leak Detection and Elimination
The age of a system lends to
leaks and breaks as older
equipment wears and
degrades. The City of
Southlake's infrastructure is
relatively new, thus major
leaks and breakages are
uncommon. However, small
leaks and breaks do arise. The
Public Works Department
continually seeks out leaks and
other problems associated
with water loss and make
repairs to the system.
[SOUTHLAKE 20301
22
• Water Conservation Master Plan
Meter and Transponder Replacement Program
Meter and transponder accuracy is an important component of any
water conservation program as accuracy is important to the
consumer's understands of consumption. Meter and transponder
accuracy decreases over time, thus the Public Works Department has
begun a 10 year meter replacement program. Each residential meter
and transponder will be replaced every 10 years. By the end of 2013,
Public Works will have completed 60% of meters and transponders in 5
years of the program.
Municipal Irrigation Use
The Community Services Department has been tasked with ensuring all
municipally -owned irrigation systems run with as much efficiency as
possible. In recent years Community Services has focused on
improvements through technology and training. Several staff members
have earned irrigation licensing through the State of Texas. In addition,
Community Services has acquired technology such as
evapotranspiration equipment; this equipment assists trained irrigation
specialists to determine water needs for a variety of landscapes across
the City.
Irrigation Recommendations
Recently, staff launched a lawn irrigation recommendation program.

• Water Conservation Master Plan
4.0 PROCESS AND IMPLEMENTATION
As mentioned in Section 1.5, the goals and objectives, this plan is not
intended to deprive use of water to the community but rather establish
the blueprint for which more efficient use tailored to the community
would be the focus. There were several criteria used in evaluating the
recommendations developed for this master plan. With the goals and
objectives of the plan in mind, the City developed four areas that each
recommendation should be evaluated against when determining its
priority. The four areas consisted of:
➢ Cost Effectiveness
➢ Estimated Water Savings
➢ Relevance to Local Conditions; and
➢ Challenges to Implementation
These four areas were assessed on each recommendation, and if they
were considered high or strong in an area this assisted the
recommendation with being ranked on higher priority, or Tier, as
discussed in Section 3.5 of this master plan. These next few sections
will be focused on discussing the four areas evaluated.
4.1 Cost effectiveness
The first area that was looked into when the City identified water
conservation recommendations in this master plan was the cost
effectiveness of the recommendation, policy or program. While it
should be noted that all the programs, policies and improvements
being recommended in this plan will cost the City money to some level,
it should not be forgotten that the purpose of this plan is to ultimately
create a sustainable community in terms of its water consumption. The
financial impacts should be minimal when compared to the cost of
continuing the status quo of water consumption in the City. The
benefits are intended to be
long term and not necessarily
regained immediately by the
consumer directly, but rather
to maintain the quality of life
for the consumer with
minimal changes for the day-
to-day life. This should
continue making the City an
attractive place for residents
as well as for businesses.
Due to the nature of this
master plan being oriented
towards having a significant
education & outreach component, the cost effectiveness of such
recommendations can be assumed to be high. Many of the other
recommendations within the municipal and residential/commercial
categories should be studied for cost effectiveness prior to
implementation.
4.2 Estimated water savings
The next area evaluated was the estimated water savings of each
recommendation. This area, just as cost effectiveness, can be difficult
to assess due to some of the same reasons. The consumers or target
audience the recommendation, policy or program is directed towards
may have different results from community to community so some
assumptions are difficult to make and therefore may require further
analysis.
[SOUTHLAKE 20301
24
• Water Conservation Master Plan
The same type of rationale was applied to
this area when it was evaluated against
the recommendations. For example, the
estimated water savings of the City
k

ordinance, that for instance may require
E"
75% of the landscape area of any
- -ti-
development to have drought tolerant
plantings, will likely be greater than
auditing the City's water system for water
loss. The estimated water savings is likely
greater creating an ordinance that
implements the use of drought tolerant plantings
requiring less water
rather than performing a water system audit
that doesn't modify any
behaviors immediately.
4.3 Relevance to Local Conditions
The next issue considered was the relevance to Southlake's local
conditions. As mentioned in Section 2, a vast majority of the
development in Southlake is newer and already has many more current
water efficient fixtures such as toilets, showerheads and faucets. So
when the recommendations were considered it was important to take
into account the type of consumer in the City.
Southlake can be considered a bedroom community where most of its
property owners and residents are both commuting and working in
another City, attending school, or taking care of the day to day errands
of a typical household. These types of users can be considered
discretionary water users. When recommendations were evaluated
against this area it was important to note that the consumption was
not by large factories or commercial processes that require large
amounts of water but rather by individual discretionary water user.
Thus, the more the recommendation was targeted towards the
discretionary user and reducing their overall consumption, the greater
or higher priority was placed on the recommendation. It was also
critical to take into account the prevalence of larger lot sizes and
abundance of swimming pools that the typical consumer has in the
City.
t �� r• .L ��l S L;F
4.4 Challenges to Implementation
The last area evaluated when considering the recommendations of this
plan were the challenges of implementing the recommendation. This
particular area proved to be complex because the cost effectiveness,
estimated water savings and relevance to local conditions can be
considered challenges in themselves. The challenges were viewed more
in the sense of, if the recommendation were to begin implementation
today, what would those obstacles be.
[SOUTHLAKE 20301
25
• Water Conservation Master Plan
Some of the obstacles considered in implementing the
recommendations in the plan were:
Public perception
Staff time needed to implement recommendation
Availability of funding
Ability to track and monitor effectiveness
All of these areas were considered and evaluated against every
recommendation to better determine the priority in which the
recommendations should be considered.
4.5 Plan Implementation
A plan is only as good as its implementation. This plan will establish a
foundation for future water conservation master plans to be built
upon.
There are several recommendations of programs, policies and
improvements that have been adopted as a part of this plan. And while
some of those programs, policies and improvements can be more
appealing and desirable to implement immediately, when placed in a
priority order and weighed against available funding, may not be
implemented in the near future.
For each specific recommendation, a relative priority (Tier) has been
established to assist with the priority of implementation of the
recommendation. During the development of this master plan, each
recommendation was evaluated against four areas, as outlined in the
previous sections, which assisted in determining the priority of the
particular program, policy or improvement. The results of this
evaluation allowed City staff to assign the recommendations based on
priority Tiers. The Tiers are divided into three different Tier categories
based on timeframe to implement:
➢ Tier 1: 1 to 3 Years
➢ Tier 2: 4 to 7 Years
➢ Tier 3: 8 Years and beyond
[SOUTHLAKE 20301
26
• Water Conservation Master Plan
There are some policies, programs and improvements within this
master plan that will require a more technical approach, generally
listed as Tier 2 and Tier 3 categories. In some of these situations an
evaluation, such as a cost -benefit analysis, will be necessary in order to
obtain a better idea of when that policy, program or improvement will
be able to be completely funded and implemented. The analysis will
need to contain the expected balance of benefits and costs, including
an account of foregone alternatives. This will help predict whether the
benefits of a policy, program or improvement outweigh its costs, and
by how much relative to other alternatives, including not implementing
the recommendation. These more complex recommendations require
more time and more analysis and therefore have been listed as a Tier 2
or Tier 3 recommendation.
The recommendations requiring capital costs will of course be fully
dependent on the outcome of the Capital Improvements Program (CIP)
process. The CIP planning process begins and ends with projects
recommended by this and all other master plans. Annually, as part of
the City's budget process, City staff analyzes the adopted master plan
and develops a comprehensive list of projects and corresponding
details along with preliminary cost estimates for each project to be
included in the proposed CIP. The proposed CIP is submitted to the CIP
Technical Committee (department directors), who rank them based on
set criteria. A priority list is then developed and forwarded to the City
Manager for evaluation and approval. The priority tiers that were
developed during this master plan will help guide future members of
the City's boards and City Council when making decisions related to the
CIP. While these tiers have provided the order of implementation and
priority of which the water conservation recommendations were
considered, it should be noted that all recommendations are subject to
available funding during the given budget year and will be placed on
the Capital Improvements Program (CIP).

• Water Conservation Master Plan
5.0 WATER CONSERVATION
MEASURES
The summer of 2011 was one of the hottest and driest in a single year
period in the state of Texas. This has since been serving as a reminder
that it is crucial for Southlake to carefully plan for its water resources,
and provide an adequate and sustainable water supply to serve the
needs of its water users. To meet this goal, reduced water consumption
through implementation of conservation policies and programs will be
extremely important. This master plan will serve as the first
comprehensive approach in the City to address an issue that not only
affects the City's residents, but the region and state as well.
Water conservation represents a cost-effective and environmentally
sound way to reduce current and future water demand and energy
usage. Homeowners and business owners can take many actions to
reduce water use, such as using water conserving fixtures and
appliances, fixing leaks, planting drought -tolerant landscaping, and
avoiding unnecessary water use.
Water conservation is an integral part of sustainably ensuring the long-
term reliability of the water supply. The recommendations that have
been adopted as a part of this plan will result in the cooperation and
partnerships with the Tarrant Regional Water District, City of Fort
Worth and other water conservation agencies in educating water
consumers on the importance of water conservation in order to extend
available water supplies to future generations.
Additional benefits of water conservation include a reduction in energy
consumption, compensation for system deficiencies, and reduction in
wastewater flows, with associated reduction of impacts on planned
population growth.
The next few sections in this plan will describe in greater detail the
recommendations that resulted from the evaluation of Southlake's
current utility profile, future water demands and the criteria
established in Section 4.0 of this plan. The recommendations have also
been broken down by category in which they are more directly applied
to.
5.1 Education & Outreach Programs
In the last few decades there has been a substantial increase in
education and awareness programs across the country in the form of
televised commercials, radio announcements, websites and other
promotional material aimed at informing the public about water usage
and its limited availability. Education and outreach is also the most cost
effective measure in water conservation that should not be ignored but
rather capitalized on, especially in today's rapid information age.

This is important not
only for Southlake as a
community but for any
community the child may
live in the future because
water quantity can be an issue anywhere. There are school programs
that exist that can be adapted to Southlake and implemented that
include partnerships with the regional water provider. Where feasible,
field trips and interactive presentations could be incorporated into the
program in order to get a firsthand view of the effects of water
consumption. The key to success is implementing a program in
partnership with local school districts that excite the students to take
immediate action in conserving water, while educating them in the
proper water conservation practices throughout their lives.
Developing a strategy for providing water conservation information to
the general public is also an effective means of both promoting specific
water conservation programs and practices and educating the public
about the importance of using water efficiently. A program should be
tailored to the community and the audience it is being delivered to. In
Southlake, a focus on the residential water customer should be one of
the target audiences due to residential nature of the community.
Developing an outreach program to residents, business owners,
property managers, HOA's and others whose decisions may influence
water use at a residential or commercial property can help to raise
awareness about water conserving techniques and technologies and
encourage the decision makers to choose best practices.
In addition to the residential and commercial customer, developing an
outreach program to licensed irrigators, general contractors and
landscapers will also be extremely important in Southlake. This group
of people has been identified as highly influential on water use in
Southlake. There are many irrigation companies, contractors and
landscapers working in different capacities (installation and/or
maintenance at residential and/or commercial properties) across the
City using a wide variety of techniques and designs. The City could
ensure that all these businesses have knowledge of the latest water
conserving technology and be encouraged to include these
technologies when selling to the customer. The goal would be to
encourage best practices on installation, repairs and retrofits of these
landscapes. The City would encourage irrigators to be aware of and
promote water saving technology when possible to customers who
would benefit from these products.
With the development of this plan it will also be important to continue
to seek ways to partner with other agencies, such as the Texas Water
Development Board, the Tarrant Regional Water District, Fort Worth
Water Utilities, and other municipalities in order to ensure that
information is being delivered to the consumers in a variety of effective
ways. The table on the next page lists the recommendations relating to
education and outreach.

• Water Conservation Master Plan
5.2 Municipal Programs & Policies
Another critical component of this master plan is to demonstrate the
City's commitment to lead the way to a more sustainable future in its
water consumption practices. This plan establishes many policies,
programs and improvements dedicated to the general public and its
residents but it is just as important for the City to also take
responsibility for its water consumption and hold itself to a high
standard.
This category of recommendations consists of a variety of methods in
which the City can help in reducing its overall water consumption
within municipal operations and also the City at large.
One current activity that is being recommended to continue is the
water meter replacement program. Over time aging municipal
equipment customer water meters lose accuracy, contributing to
"water loss" and revenue loss. In addition to reducing water loss and
revenue the utility can replace older technology with meters offering
improved measurements.
Another program the City is recommending to continue is the semi -
automated irrigation weekly recommendations. Seasonal weather
changes and local rainfall greatly affect a lawn's watering requirement.
Because of frequent changes to environmental conditions, setting a
controller to irrigate on a set schedule is not effective for conserving
water as the sprinkler frequently wastes water. For those who have not
adopted newer technology that adjusts for weather, the City offers the
homeowner a schedule as a guide to watering needs on almost a
weekly basis and is available through the City's website.
In addition to recommended
ongoing programs there must
also be policies and t
improvements implemented to
further demonstrate the City's
commitment and leadership in
water conservation initiatives.
One area that can be addressed
throughout the City's older
facilities is the replacement of
old water fixtures to more
efficient fixtures. Implementing
the replacement of older building
water fixtures such as toilets, urinals, lavatory faucets, irrigation,
cooling towers and water brooms with higher efficiency water fixtures
will help reduce the water consumption in these buildings that are
consistently occupied. Also, performing water audits at existing park
facilities on the existing landscape irrigation systems and installing high
efficiency upgrades would help reduce consumption.
These recommendations discussed, in addition to several others listed
on the next couple of pages, will help the City in leading the way for the
community to protect this vital asset.

• Water Conservation Master Plan
5.3 Residential & Commercial Programs & Policies
The last category within this plan for recommendations is specifically
oriented towards Southlake's discretionary users, the residential and
commercial consumers. Some of the recommendation topics consist of
rain water harvesting, audit and retrofit rebate program, development
credits and landscape ordinance updates.
One area of particular interest when this plan was developed was the
impacts on the water system during peak hours in the summer and in
the winter along with the differences between those seasonal peaks.
New development that is constructed in the City will inevitably place
further strain on that system. So understanding the demands placed on
the community's water infrastructure will increasingly become an
important aspect of assessing the overall impact of new development.
Development generates a demand for water and it may generate
enough demand to compel the community to invest more capital into
its water infrastructure system or seek new water sources. A water

any negative impacts
that may occur,
especially during those
peak times of usage.
Another topic area that was explored was irrigation systems on both
commercial and residential property. Installed irrigation systems
become less effective at applying water over time. Equipment breaks,
leaks and becomes clogged over time. The typical response is to
increase the amount of water applied to compensate for lack of
efficiency of the irrigation
system. This can end up r
being highly inefficient and
waste large amounts of
water. The City, as -
mentioned in Section 2,
currently implements a �r
residential irrigation audit
and replacement program 'e
which gives the property
owner an analysis of the
current condition of their
irrigation system along with
some recommendations to
improve efficiency. This has proved to be a successful program in terms
of users and is something that can also be applied on a larger scale for
commercial properties, pending the availability of funding.
Lastly, landscaping policies on development can be considerably
helpful in reducing the impact of water consumption if water efficient
plant materials are used. Consideration of water conserving plant
material and landscape design should be prioritized in changes to the
current landscaping policies. Effective considerations in other
communities have included limiting turf landscaping, an emphasis on
native and adaptive plants and the use of canopy trees, soil depth,
moisture retention, and an emphasis on conservative irrigation.
These are all just a few examples of some of the recommendations
evaluated for residential and commercial properties and future
development. On the next page is a comprehensive listing of the
recommendations under this category.

Al Water Supply System
A. Water Supply Sources
The City of Southlake purchases 100% of the water supply, treated, from the City of Fort
Worth. The water is delivered via two pipelines from the Fort Worth water system. The
capacity of these supply lines is approximately 29 MGD
B. Treatment and Distribution System
1. Design daily capacity of system; 29 MGD
2. Storage Capacity: Elevated 6 MG, Ground 15 MG
3 If surface water, do you recycle filter backwash to the head of the plant?
Southlake does not own/operate a water treatment facility.
4. Describe the water system. As stated above Southlake purchases treated
water from the City of For Worth. That water is delivered to our primary punp
station where it is stored in 2 — 5 Million Gallon ground storage tanks. From
that point water is pumped in to the high pressure plane served by 1 — 1.5
Million Gallon elevated storage tank or in to the low pressure plane served by
3 — 1.5 Million Gallon elevated storage tanks.
There is a second pump station with 1 — 5 Million Gallon around storage tank
on the north side of town for additional capacity for the low pressure plane. It
does not currently have a large capacity delivery supply line therefore is
presently used to supplement peak demands in the summer by back filling
from the distribution system during off-peak periods on the day. The supply
line to provide to provide full service to that station is being constructed in
multiple phases. The first phases are under construction with the remainina
hases in design
A detailed map of the entire system is included with this system profile.
IV Wastewater Utility System
A. Wastewater System Data
1. Design Capacity of wastewater treatment plant(s): Southlake's wastewater is
treated at two treatment plants operated by the Trinity River Authority (TRA).

Water Conservation Master Plan
Ordinance No. 1061, Adopted April 16, 2013
• t Water Conservation Master Plan
APPENDIX B
Drought Contingency 1
Emergency Water Management Plan
1 Drought Contingency/Emergency Water Management Plan
This Drought Contingency / Emergency Water Management Plan (subsequentl
referred to as the Plan) outlines the triggers and actions associated with each c
the respective water management stages. These stages are;
• Stage 1 - Water Watch
• Stage 2 - Water Warning
• Stage 3 - Emergency Water Use Management
These stages can be triggered by supply, distribution system, and treatment
system constraints. They can also be triggered by the City of Fort Worth or Fora
Worth's wholesale water provider, Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD).
The purpose of this Drought Contingency and Emergency Management Plan is
as follows:
To conserve the available water supply in times of drought and
emergency
+ To manage supplies for domestic water use, sanitation, and fire
protection
• To protect and preserve the public health, welfare and safety
To minimize the adverse impacts of water supply shortages
To minimize the adverse impacts of emergency water supply
conditions
1.1 Texas Commission On Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Requirements
TCEQ rule Title 30, Part 1, Chapter 288, SubchaplerA, Rule 288.12 (4) define:
drought contingency plan as "a strategy or combination of strategies for
temporary supply and demand management responses to temporary and
potentially recurring water supply shortages and other water supply
emergencies."
TCEQ rules governing development of and minimum requirements for drought
contingency plans for municipal water suppliers and wholesale water suppliers
are contained in the Texas Administrative code Title 30, Part 1, Chapter 288,
Subchapter B, Rule 288.20 and Rule 288-22, respectively.
1.2 Monitoring Information for the Plan
System demands are currently monitored on a daily basis by the production staff
of the City of Fort Worth and the City of Southlake Water Department. In addition,
temperature and rainfall data are recorded by the National Weather Service. The
Cities analyze this data to determine when implementation or termination of a
stage is apprcpriate.
1.3 Now the Plan is Initiated and Terminated
The Public Works Director or his/her designee is responsible for initiating and
terminating the respective stages of the Plan. The City will provide notice that a
stage has been initiated or terminated and that appropriate actions are required
as follows;
• Public announcement to the news media;
• Publication on the City's webstte;
• Publication in a newspaper of general circulation; and
• Notification of all relevant state agencies.
Stages initiated by TRWD or the City of Fort Worth will be initiated in the same
manner described above by the City of Southlake.
The plan may be applied to the entire city or geographic portions of the city as
necessary. If the plan is applied only to a portion of the city, the boundaries will
be defined in terms of roadways, creeks and other easily distinguishable
features.
1.4 Main Components of the Plan
1.4.1 Schedule of Watering
The City has set voluntary schedule of watering guidelines as outlined in Table 1
below. These guidelines become mandatory if Stage 1 or Stage 2 is
implemented. The prohibition of watering between the hours of 10 a.m. to B p.m.
remains in place year-round, regardless of the stage.

1.4.2 Public InvolvementlEducation
The Plan is presented to the public in a City Council workshop prior to first
reading and a public hearing is included at the second reading of the ordinance.
Southlake will inform and educate the public about the Drought
Contingency/Emergency Water Management Plan by the following means:
• Preparing fact sheet describing the plan and making these
available online and at various city sites.
• Posting a copy of the Plan on the city's website.
At any time that the Plan is activated or the stages change, customers will be
notified via the local media, the city's website and other means as deemed
necessary.
1.4.3 System Information — Baseline for Water Management Stage Triggers
The City of Southlake purchases all of its treated water from the City of Fort
Worth which in turn purchases water from the Tarrant Regional Water District
(TRWD). This water is from four major sources, as seen in Figure 1.1.
The West Fork of Trinity River via Lake Worth, Eagle Mountain
Lake, and Lake Bridgeport;
• Clear Fork of the Trinity River via Lake Benbrook (A pipeline
connects Lake Benbrook to the Rolling Hills Water Treatment Plant

The City of Southlake has two delivery points from the City of Fort Worth but
does not but does not have another source of treated water. The Fort Worth
Water System does not have alternate water sources outside its current
reservoirs. The City of Fort Worth does not have alternative external delivery
mechanisms, and does have the ability to distribute water throughout its system
from any of its treatment plants.
1.5 Drought and Emergency Water Management Stages
1.5.1 Stage 1 —Water Watch
1.5.1.1 In iiiation
This stage is activated by the Director of Public Works if there is a water
system failure including pumping equipment, supply lines, distribution
lines, power failure, or storage facilities, or:
The tank level in the three (3) elevated tanks of the low pressure
plane fall below eighteen (18) feet, measured from the bottom of
the tank bowl to the water level in the tank, and continue to fall
below this level, with the Pearson Road Pump Station at 100%
capacity, for three (3) consecutive days.
