FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: APRIL 16, 2019
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF THE 2019 WATER CONSERVATION AND DROUGHT
CONTINGENCY PLAN
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider the 2019 Water Conservation and Drought
Contingency Plan.
FUNDING SOURCE: None
BACKGROUND: The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) requires public
water suppliers to approve an updated water conservation and drought
contingency plan every five years that complies with their guidelines and
requirements. Staff has updated the current plan based on recent data.
No revisions or additions are being made to the curerent Drought
Contingency Ordinance.
The City of Grapevine adopted its initial drought contingency plan in 1988.
The plan was subsequently updated in 1997, 2006, 2009 and 2011. The
2011 revisions brought the plan in line with the Texas Regional Water
District (TRWD) requirements.
The City's 2019 Water Conservation and Drought Contingency Plan
provides documented water use accounting, system data, per -capita water
use and water loss, water conservation programs and activities, and
estimated water savings for the previous five years. In addition, it projects
five and ten year targets and goals. In addition to the five-year plan
review, the TCEQ requires annual water conservation reports to be filed
by the City. The City has been submitting these reports annually since
2000.
Staff recommends approval.

1, INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES
Water supply has always been a key issue in the development of Texas. In recent years, the
increasing population and economic development in Region C have led to growing demands for
water. At the same time, local and less expensive sources of water supply are largely developed.
Additional supplies to meet higher demands will be expensive and difficult to develop. Severe
drought conditions in recent years have highlighted the importance of efficient use of our
existing supplies to make them last as long as possible. This 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) has developed guidelines and requirements governing the
development of water conservation and drought contingency plans for public water suppliers.
The TCEQ guidelines and requirements for public water suppliers are included in
Appendix A. The City of Grapevine has adopted this water conservation and drought
contingency plan pursuant to TCEQ guidelines and requirements.
The objectives of the water conservation plan are:
■ To reduce water consumption from the levels that would prevail without conservation
efforts.
■ To reduce the loss and waste of water.
■ To identify the level of water reuse.
■ To improve efficiency in the use of water.
■ To extend the life of current water supplies by reducing the rate of growth in demand.
The objectives of the drought contingency plan are:
■ To conserve the available water supply in times of drought and contingency.
■ To maintain supplies for domestic water use, sanitation and fire protection.
■ To protect and preserve public health, welfare, and safety.
■ To minimize the adverse impacts of water supply shortages.
■ To minimize the adverse impacts of emergency water supply conditions.

3.3 Specification of Water Conservation Goals
Table 1 shows current per capita water use and per capita water use goals for the City of
Grapevine. Water use is shown in units of gallons per capita per day (gpcd).
Residential gallons per capita per day (Residential GPCD) is defined as the total gallons sold
for residential use by a public water supplier divided by the residential population served
and divided by the number of days in the year.
Total gallons per capita per day (Total GPCD) is defined as the total amount of water
diverted and/or pumped for potable use divided by the total permanent population divided
by the days of the year. Diversion volumes of indirect reuse shall be credited against total
diversion volumes for the purposes of calculating GPCD for targets and goals.
The City's water conservation goals include the following:
• Maintain the total and residential per capita water use in a dry year below the
specified amounts in gallons per capita per day (Table 1).
• Implement and maintain a meter replacement program (Section 3.5).
• Maintain water loss in the system less than 10 percent annually (Section 3.6).
• Raise public awareness of water conservation and encourage responsible public
behavior through a public education and information program, as discussed in 3.7.
• The Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) will coordinate water conservation
workshops for staff of customer cities that receive water, directly or indirectly, from
TRWD. Recent workshops have covered topics related to automated metering
infrastructure, leak detection, water loss audits, and effective communication. The
City of Grapevine will work with TRWD to support our staff with workshop topics,
promotion and coordination.
• Since 2008, the Annual North Texas Regional Water Conservation Symposium has
been jointly coordinated by the region's three major water providers — Dallas Water
Utilities, North Texas Municipal Water District and TRWD. The event invites staff
from customer cities to hear from speakers from across the state and nation about
their experience and expertise. Discussions center on key elements of successful
water conservation programs, communications, weather and climate, education,
etc. The City of Grapevine staff will supports the annual symposium by attending,
participating and considering the adoption of presented programs and strategies.
• By May 1St of each year, conservation implementation reports are required to be
submitted to the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB). Additionally, a utility
profile is submitted every 5 years. The City of Grapevine will share these reports
with TRWD so they can be included in an overall regional report and evaluation of
regional conservation program effectiveness.
• TRWD participates in the regional water conservation public awareness campaign
with Dallas Water Utilities. The current campaign, "Water is Awesome. Use It. Enjoy
5
Water Conservation and Draught Contingency Plan City of Grapevine
It. Just Don't Waste It," is entering its 4th year and includes television, radio, print,
and digital media. Media outreach is used to increase public awareness on the value
of water and encourage adoption of outdoor water efficient behaviors. The City of
Grapevine will support the regional campaign by using, promoting and sharing
related campaign resources to our customers.
• The TRWD Residential Sprinkler System Evaluation Program uses trained licensed
irrigators to assess residential sprinkler systems. Upon inspection they make
recommendations for improving system performance, identify repair needs, and
instruct users on how to schedule controllers to eliminate unnecessary outdoor
watering. The evaluation also includes an opportunity to educate residents about
their sprinkler systems and offer guidance on how much and how long to water
throughout the year. The City of Grapevine will participate in and promote the
sprinkler system evaluation program to residential customers.
• TRWD owns and operates four weather stations in Tarrant County. The stations are
integrated into the Texas ET Network. Texas ET Network and National Weather
Service data is used to calculate accurate weekly watering advice across North
Central Texas and the service is map based. Users can sign up to receive weekly
emails and/or text messages every Monday for that week's watering advice. The
advice is also shared through social media channels and SaveTarrantWater.com. The
program gives residents information to water only when needed and to reduce
overwatering. It is a regional program and joint -funded with Dallas Water Utilities.
The City of Grapevine will promote the weekly watering advice and encourage
participation to our customers.
• TRWD operates and maintains SaveTarrantWater.com as a resource to consumers.
Regional conservation program information, DIY videos, and Green Pros listing can
be found on the website. Save Tarrant Water is also active on social media as a way
to promote new information, provide tips, and support customer city efforts. The
City of Grapevine will promote and share Save Tarrant Water resources to our
customers.
• In 2018, TRWD provided contracted water efficiency assessments to local school
districts. The assessments provide an inventory of all indoor water -using fixtures and
appliances. Cooling towers and sprinkler systems are also inspected.
Recommendations for fixture replacements and process improvements are backed
with estimated costs and payback periods. The assessments consider water,
wastewater, energy and chemical savings. TRWD will continue to work with local
school districts for ICI water efficiency assessments. If school district participation
decreases, TRWD will coordinate with customer cities to identify potential
commercial and industrial customers. The City of Grapevine will coordinate with
TRWD to help promote the assessment opportunity to our ICI customers.
Water Conservation and Drought Contingency Plan City of Grapevine
Traditionally, TRWD has invited customer cities to one or two meetings a year to
discuss programs, issues and collaboration opportunities to implement conservation
outreach initiatives. Those meetings will continue but will also be supplemented
with monthly conference calls throughout the year. The goal is to increase
communication, partnership and program implementation with all customer cities.
The City of Grapevine will actively participate in conservation coordinators meetings.

3.4 Accurate Metering of Raw Water Supplies and Treated Water
Deliveries
The City of Grapevine meters its raw water flow from Lake Grapevine using magnetic flow
meters with an accuracy of +/- 5.0%. The City meters its treated water deliveries to the
distribution system from the water treatment plant using 1 magnetic flow meter and 3
venturi flow meters with an accuracy of +/- 5.0%. The meters are calibrated on an annual
basis by a third party contractor to maintain the required accuracy and ensure repairs
and/or replacements are administered as needed.
Water Conservation and Draught Contingency Plan City of Grapevine
3.5 Metering of Customer and Public Uses and Meter Testing, Repair,
and Replacement
Water usage for all customers of the City of Grapevine, including public and governmental
users, is metered.
As part of this water conservation plan, the City of Grapevine will implement a meter
replacement program that will replace every meter on a 10 -year cycle. Initial efforts will
focus on the oldest meters in the system.
In addition, meters registering any unusual or questionable readings will be tested and
repaired to restore full functionality.
3.6 Determination and Control of Water Loss
The City of Grapevine will conduct an annual water audit using the TWDB's water audit
worksheet. Total water loss is the volume of raw water drawn from Lake Grapevine minus
metered deliveries to customers minus other authorized consumption (e.g., authorized but
unmetered uses such as firefighting and line flushing).
The TWDB water audit worksheet divides total water losses into apparent losses and real
losses:
• Apparent water loss is water which is used by customers but for which the utility is
not compensated. Reducing apparent losses increases the city's utility revenue but
does not reduce water usage. Apparent water losses include:
o Inaccuracies in customer meters (customer meters tend to run more slowly
as they age and under -report actual use).
o Unauthorized consumption.
o Systematic data handling errors.
• Real water loss is water which is physically lost from the water system before it can
be used by customers. Identifying and preventing real losses decreases a utility's
costs and decreases water usage. Real water losses include:
o Reported leaks.
o Unreported leaks.
To meet the water loss targets established in Table 1, the City has implemented the water
loss control strategies described in Section 4.1. As shown in Appendix B, total water loss for
the City of Grapevine has varied from 0.51 percent to 3.55 percent in the last five years. With
the measures described in this plan, the City of Grapevine intends to maintain the total
water loss below 5 percent in 2024 and subsequent years. If total water loss exceeds this
goal, the City of Grapevine will implement a more intensive audit to determine the source(s)
of water loss and will implement more intensive strategies to reduce the water loss.
Water Conservation and Draught Contingency Plan City of Grapevine
3.7 Continuing Public Education and Information Campaign
The continuing public education and information campaign on water conservation for the
City of Grapevine includes the following elements:
• Promote the City's water conservation measures (presented in Chapters 3, 4, and 5).
• Conduct tours of the City of Grapevine's Water Treatment Plant for local schools and
various organizations to educate patrons about the water treatment process and
promote water conservation.
• Promote Save Tarrant Water website (www.SaveTarrantWater.com)
• Host water conservation booths at several city events throughout each year.

4. ADDITIONAL REQUIRED WATER CONSERVATION PLAN CONTENT
The Texas Administrative Code also includes additional requirements for water conservation
plans for public drinking water suppliers that serve a population of 5,000 people or more
and/ or a projected population of 5,000 people or more within the next ten years:
• §288.2(a)(2)(A) —Leak Detection, Repair, and Water Loss Accounting —Sections 3.6
and 4.1
• §288.2(a)(2)(B) —Requirement for Water Conservation Plans by Wholesale
Customers —Section 4.2
4.1 Leak Detection and Repair and Pressure Control
Measures to control water loss are part of the routine operations of the City of Grapevine.
Meter readers watch for and report signs of illegal connections so they can be addressed
quickly. Crews and personnel look for and report evidence of leaks in the water distribution
system. Maintenance crews respond quickly to repair leaks reported by the public and city
personnel. The City of Grapevine spends $150,000 per year to repair and replace water
distribution lines and uses 10 distribution line maintenance technicians. Areas of the water
distribution system in which numerous leaks and line breaks occur and undesirable pipe
materials are located, are targeted for replacement as funds are available.
To reduce real water losses, the City of Grapevine will maintain a proactive water loss
program. As part of this program, the City will implement the following actions:
• Conduct regular inspections and soundings of all water main fittings and
connections;
• Install temporary leak noise detectors and loggers;
• Limit surges in pressure;
• Monthly training programs to include proper meter repair techniques, pipe tapping
procedures, line break repairs, etc.;
• Valve cycling program to achieve every valve within the system to be cycled at a
minimum of two years;
• Maintain and/ or improve equipment necessary to maximize man -power in the field.
4.2 Requirement for Water Conservation Plans by Wholesale Customers
At this time, the City of Grapevine is not a wholesale water provider. After adoption of this
plan, each contract for the wholesale sale of water by the City of Grapevine will include a
requirement that the wholesale customer develop and implement a water conservation
plan meeting the requirements of Title 30, Part 1, Chapter 288, Subchapter A, Rule 288.2 of
the Texas Administrative Code. This requirement will also extend to each successive
wholesale customer in the resale of the water.

Water Conservation and Drought Contingency Plan City of Grapevine
6, DROUGHT CONTINGENCY PLAN
6.1 Introduction
The purpose of the drought contingency plan is as follows:
• To conserve the available water supply in times of drought, water supply shortage,
and emergency
• To maintain supplies for domestic water use, sanitation, and fire protection
• To protect and preserve public health, welfare, and safety
• To minimize the adverse impacts of water supply shortages
• To minimize the adverse impacts of emergency water supply conditions
In the absence of drought response measures, demand tends to increase during a drought
due to increased demand for irrigation. The severity of a drought depends on the degree of
depletion of supplies and on the relationship of demand to available supplies.
A water supply shortage can be the result of drought or the result of conditions which may
render all or some portion of the water supply unavailable. These conditions can include
but are not limited to the presence of invasive species, contamination of the water supply,
or infrastructure failure.
6.2 Adoption of Tarrant Regional Water District Drought Contingency
Plan
The City of Grapevine has adopted TRWD's Drought Contingency Plan. As a water customer
of TRA and TRWD, the City shall impose the TRWD water conservation measures when
requested to do so in accordance with the TRWD Drought Contingency Plan, as amended.

DIVISION 3. - ENFORCEMENT, IMPLEMENTATION
Sec. 25-143. - Presumption.
For purposes of this article, it shall be presumed that a person, corporation or association, in whose
name the water department of the city is or was last billed or who is receiving the economic benefit of said
water supply, has knowingly made, caused, used or permitted the use of water received from the city for
residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, governmental or any other purpose in a manner contrary
to any provision of this article, or in an amount in excess of the use permitted by the conservation stage in
effect, or in a manner contrary to the terms and conditions of a permit issued by the director, if the water
has been used in a manner contrary to any provision of this article, or in an amount in excess of the use
permitted by the conservation stage in effect, or in a manner contrary to the terms and conditions of a
valid permit issued by the director.
(Ord. No. 88-49, § 1, 7-19-88)
Sec. 25-144. - Permits.
(a) The director shall review hardships and special cases which cannot follow the letter of this article.
The director shall review such hardship or special cases and determine whether or not said case
warrants a permit to use water in contravention of this article. The director shall consider the facts of
each case and decide whether to grant a permit, within five working days of the receipt of a properly
completed "Application for Permit" form. A permit shall be granted only for reasons of economic
hardship, which is defined as a threat to an individual's or business's primary source of income. (But
under no circumstances shall inconvenience or the potential for damage of landscaping be
considered an economic hardship which justifies a permit.) The director shall authorize only the
implementation of equitable water use restrictions which further the purpose and intent of the drought
contingency plan. The special water use restrictions authorized by the director in each special or
hardship case shall be set forth on the face of the permit. A fee of $25.00 per permit application shall
be assessed to defray administrative costs.
(b) A permit issued under Stage 1 of this article shall not be valid upon implementation of Stage 2 or
Stage 3 of this article. A permit expires under its own terms and conditions and/or when another
stage of the drought contingency plan is in effect. A separate application for a permit must be
submitted at each stage of the drought contingency plan.
(c) Any person, corporation or association who is issued a permit and makes use of the water utility of
the city pursuant to said permit shall provide proof of said permit upon demand by any peace officer
or person authorized by the city to enforce this article. Upon conviction of violating any provision of
this article, the director may revoke any permit previously granted under this article. Provided,
however, the director shall notify applicant of the proposed revocation five working days before
taking such action, and that applicant be given the opportunity to be heard by the director prior to
taking such action.
(d) Any person, corporation or association may appeal the denial or revocation of a permit under this
section to the city council. An appeal must be filed with the city secretary within five days of the date
of the denial or revocation of a permit by the director. The city council shall be authorized to grant a
permit pursuant to this article, if the granting of such permit will further the intent and purpose of the
drought contingency plan.
(Ord. No. 88-49, § 1, 7-19-88; Ord. No. 97-33, § 7, 4-1-97)
Sec. 25-145. - Mandatory conservation stage implementation.
(a) Emergency conditions. Catastrophic failure of a critical component of the treatment, delivery or
distribution system that would limit water available to meet demand. The water department shall
monitor the projected supply and demand for water by its customers on a daily basis during the
months of May, June, July, August and September and shall recommend to the director the extent of
the conservation required through the implementation or termination of particular conservation
stages in order for the city to prudently plan for and supply water to its customers. Thereafter, the
director may order that the appropriate stage of water conservation be implemented or terminated in
accordance with the applicable provisions of this article. Said order shall be made by public
announcement and shall be published a minimum of one time weekly in a newspaper in general
circulation within the area served by the water department.

a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, shall be punished by a fine not to exceed $2,000.00. The violation
of each provision, and each separate violation thereof, shall be deemed a separate offense and shall be
punished accordingly. Provided, however, compliance may be further sought through injunctive relief in
the district court.
