The similarity to annual use indicates, as programs. expected, that water use per account is highly driven by the amount of water use in the summer months. 2.2 Managing Water Demand Peaks Because water use is viewed as largely irrigation driven, it can be One of the biggest challenges a water provider can face is peaks (or expected that lots with large acreage will use much more water, spikes) in demand that strain the capacity of the system. Managing especially during the growing season. 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 2005 -2012 4,845 provider must anticipate the peak demand and build a system to deliver that peak demand.

These scenarios pose public 11 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. AVERAGE WATER USE PER SPIN DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS (JUNE AUGUST) In addition to the challenges these peak pose in development and However, do Southlake residents use more water because residents management of the infrastructure, the peak demand fees paid to the have more land to irrigate?

While it recommendation. This area, just as cost effectiveness, can be difficult should be noted that all the programs, policies and improvements to assess due to some of the same reasons. The consumers or target being recommended in this plan will cost the City money to some level, audience the recommendation, policy or program is directed towards it should not be forgotten that the purpose of this plan is to ultimately may have different results from community to community so some create a sustainable community in terms of its water consumption. The assumptions are difficult to make and therefore may require further financial impacts should be minimal when compared to the cost of analysis. continuing the status quo of water consumption in the City. The Ordinance No. 1061, Adopted April 16, 2013 [SOUTHLAKE 2030] 24 SOUTHLAKE 20301 Water Conservation Master Plan The same type of rationale was applied to lite discretionary user and reducing their overall consumption, the greater this area when it was evaluated against or higher priority was placed on the recommendation.

So when the recommendations were considered it was important to take 4.4 Challenges to Implementation into account the type of consumer in the City. The last area evaluated when considering the recommendations of this Southlake can be considered a bedroom community where most of its plan were the challenges of implementing the recommendation. This property owners and residents are both commuting and working in particular area proved to be complex because the cost effectiveness, another city, attending school, or taking care of the day to day errands estimated water savings and relevance to local conditions can be of a typical household. These types of users can be considered considered challenges in themselves. The challenges were viewed more discretionary water users. When recommendations were evaluated in the sense of, if the recommendation were to begin implementation against this area it was important to note that the consumption was today, what would those obstacles be. 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 Ordinance No. 1061, Adopted April 16, 2013 [SOUTHLAKE 2030] 25 SOUTHLAKE 2030 Water Conservation Master Plan Some of the obstacles considered in implementing the some of those programs, policies and improvements can be more recommendations in the plan were: appealing and desirable to implement immediately, when placed in a priority order and weighed against available funding, may not be • Public perception implemented in the near future. • Staff time needed to implement recommendation • Availability of funding • Ability to track and monitor effectiveness l All of these areas were considered and evaluated against every . 4, recommendation to better determine the priority in which the recommendations should be considered. i , `"$J/ ; E • t ,� r 1 /gam • ma ,^ �" _ _ _ m., P . ... t . Pi 1 For each specific recommendation, a relative priority (Tier) has been I established to assist with the priority of implementation of the „ Ali recommendation. During the development of this master plan, each ii .... -- recommendation was evaluated against four areas, as outlined in the previous sections, which assisted in determining the priority of the 4 particular program, policy or improvement. The results of this 4.5 Plan Implementation evaluation allowed City staff to assign the recommendations based on priority Tiers. The Tiers are divided into three different Tier categories A plan is only as good as its implementation. This plan will establish a based on timeframe to implement: foundation for future water conservation master plans to be built upon. ➢ Tier 1: 1 to 3 Years ➢ Tier 2: 4 to 7 Years There are several recommendations of programs, policies and ➢ Tier 3: 8 Years and beyond improvements that have been adopted as a part of this plan. And while Ordinance No. 1061, Adopted April 16, 2013 [SOUTHLAKE 2030] 26 SOUTHLAKE 2030! 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).

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 t /' ' ' "' 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 ,o. r tt In the last few decades there has been a substantial increase in education and awareness programs across the country in the form of • a �' ' �� m televised commercials, radio announcements, websites and other f " °' y`` promotional material aimed at informing the public about water usage Water conservation represents a cost - effective and environmentally and its limited availability.
