Utilities Manager's Recommendation
The Utilities Manager recommends that the Board approve the motion as presented.
Body
On October 28, 2022,a letter was received from the Office of the State Engineer requesting an addendum to the recently approved Water and Energy Conservation Plan. The addendum is to provide clarification on the Conservation Program and to address some missing points per the updated requirements of OSE.
In the submitted addendum plan, please find the following changes in watermarked sections:
* Pages 028-029 provide additional monitoring of non-revenue water.
* Pages 035-057 organize Part II into a more defined Conservation Program with priorities, support, and tools and includes additional projects, budgets, and timelines.
* Appendices 5 through 7 reference information on educational campaigns, project updates in the Regional Water Plan, and a county energy conservation policy.
The addendum is necessary to receive Water Trust Board funding for 2023.
Alternatives
