Item 4HCITY OF
SOUTHLAKE
MEMORANDUM
(April 7, 2009)
To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager
From: Robert H. Price, P.E., Public Works Director
Subject: Ordinance No. 895-13; 1" Reading, Revise the Water
Conservation Plan. (If approved at first reading, the public
hearing will be held April 21, 2007)
Action
Requested: Adopt Ordinance No. 895-13; 1St reading, Revise the Water
Conservation Plan.
Background
Information: In 2005, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
(TCEQ) amended Title 30, Texas Administrative Code,
Chapter 288. The revised Chapter 288 requires that public
water suppliers serving 3,300 or more customers submit a
revised current water conservation plan to TCEQ in May
2009 and re-submit every five (5) years thereafter.
The City of Southlake has revised the water conservation
ordinance twice since 2005 to conform with changes to the
City of Ft. Worth's regulations. The most recent change to
the plan made the 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. irrigation
restriction year-round rather than just the summer months.
The proposed water conservation plan updates the City of
Southlake's Utility System Profile and proposes five and ten-
year water conservation goals which conform with the
regional goals of 190 and 180 gallons per capita per day
respectively. It also describes water conservation best
management practices (BMPs) intended to achieve the
conservation goals. Those BMPs include efforts to
accurately account for the City's water use, detect and repair
leaks, and encourage the efficient use of water by our
customers.
Efforts to improve accountability include: improving the
accuracy of the billing meters from the City of Ft. Worth,
retail meter testing and replacement programs, and routine
water audits to measure water system losses. Public
education efforts regarding efficient water use along with a
non-promotional rate structure are proposed to discourage
wasting of water. The plan also proposes using the City's
computerized water system monitoring capabilities to assist
with leak detection.
Financial
Considerations: None
Strategic Link: The adoption of the Water Conservation Plan links to the
city's strategy map relative to the focus area providing high
quality customer service. Effective management of the City's
water resources will insure our ability to sustain high quality
customer service in the delivery a safe and adequate supply
of drinking water
Citizen Input/
Board Review: None
Legal Review: None
Alternatives: The City Council may approve or reject the revisions to the
water conservation plan.

Please indicate how the above figures were determined (e.g., from master meters located at
the point of diversion from a stream or located at a point where raw water enters the
treatment plant or from water sales).
The Citv of Southlake Durchases treated water from the Citv of Fort Worth. All of the citv's
water supply is delivered from Fort Worth via two pipelines, both shared with the City of
Keller. Both pipelines are metered at the point where they leave the Fort Worth water system
and at the entrv to the resaective customer citv's DumD stations. The fiaures above rearesent
the entry point to the Southlake pump station

111 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
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 pump
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 ground 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 remaining
phases in design.
A detailed map of the entire system is included with this system profile.
IV Wastewater Utility System
A. Wastewater System Data
Design Capacity of wastewater treatment plant(s): Southlake's wastewater is
treated at two treatment plants operated by the Trinity River Authority (TRA).
Southlake's collection system is divided in to two major watersheds. The north
watershed Flows to TRA's Denton Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment
Facility and the south watershed flows to the TRA Central Wastewater
Treatment Facility.
2. Treated effluent is controlled by the Trinity River Authority.
3. Briefly describe the waste water collections system serviced by the water
utility. Southlake's wastewater collection system is divided in to two major
watersheds. In addition to the network of gravity pipelines, the city operates
13 lift stations to assist in the collection and delivery of the flow to the TRA
treatment facilities.
A detailed map of the collection system including the lift stations and force
mains is included with this plan.
B. Wastewater System Data
1. Percent of water service area served by wastewater system: 85%
2. Monthly volume treated for the last three years (in 1,000 gallons)

V Water Conservation Goals and Best Management Practices
A. Water Conservation Goals
The Water conservation goals for the plan are consistent with regional goals and were
developed assuming a year of average rainfall. Per capita goals of 190 gpcd and 180
gpcd are the targets for 2015 and 2020 respectively. The Best Management Practices
(BMPs) already in place and proposed for future years are outlined in the next section of
the plan.
In addition to the BMPs in this plan, the city's water conservation ordinance prohibits the
wasting of water including restricting the operation of irrigation systems between 10 am
and 6 pm year-round. The City's Drought Contingency / Emergency Water Management
Plan imposes mandatory outdoor water use restrictions during different drought stages.
