| 1 | + | CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE 20192020 REGULAR SESSION Senate Bill No. 1217Introduced by Senator Dahle(Coauthor: Assembly Member Mathis)February 20, 2020 An act to amend Section 10608.20 of the Water Code, relating to water.LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTSB 1217, as introduced, Dahle. Urban water use targets: indoor residential water use.Existing law requires the state to achieve a 20% reduction in urban per capita water use in California by December 31, 2020. Existing law requires each urban retail water supplier to develop urban water use targets and an interim urban water use target, as specified, and states the intent of the Legislature that the urban water use targets cumulatively result in a 20% reduction from the baseline daily per capita water use by December 31, 2020. Existing law requires an urban retail water supplier to adopt one of specified methods for determining its urban water use target, including estimating the per capita daily water use using the sum of 55 gallons per capita daily for indoor residential water use and a specified water efficiency standard for landscape irrigation use.This bill would revise that method of estimating the per capita daily water use to require an urban retail water supplier to use, instead of 55 gallons per capita daily for indoor residential water use, a standard that complies with the urban retail water suppliers own criteria for indoor residential water use.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1. Section 10608.20 of the Water Code is amended to read:10608.20. (a) (1) Each urban retail water supplier shall develop urban water use targets and an interim urban water use target by July 1, 2011. Urban retail water suppliers may elect to determine and report progress toward achieving these targets on an individual or regional basis, as provided in subdivision (a) of Section 10608.28, and may determine the targets on a fiscal year or calendar year basis.(2) It is the intent of the Legislature that the urban water use targets described in paragraph (1) cumulatively result in a 20-percent reduction from the baseline daily per capita water use by December 31, 2020.(b) An urban retail water supplier shall adopt one of the following methods for determining its urban water use target pursuant to subdivision (a):(1) Eighty percent of the urban retail water suppliers baseline per capita daily water use.(2) The per capita daily water use that is estimated using the sum of the following performance standards:(A) For indoor residential water use, 55 gallons per capita daily water use as a provisional standard. Upon completion of the departments 2017 report to the Legislature pursuant to Section 10608.42, this standard may be adjusted by the Legislature by statute. a standard that complies with the urban retail water suppliers own criteria for indoor residential water use.(B) For landscape irrigated through dedicated or residential meters or connections, water efficiency equivalent to the standards of the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance set forth in Chapter 2.7 (commencing with Section 490) of Division 2 of Title 23 of the California Code of Regulations, as in effect the later of the year of the landscapes installation or 1992. An urban retail water supplier using the approach specified in this subparagraph shall use satellite imagery, site visits, or other best available technology to develop an accurate estimate of landscaped areas.(C) For commercial, industrial, and institutional uses, a 10-percent reduction in water use from the baseline commercial, industrial, and institutional water use by 2020.(3) Ninety-five percent of the applicable state hydrologic region target, as set forth in the states draft 20x2020 Water Conservation Plan (dated April 30, 2009). If the service area of an urban water supplier includes more than one hydrologic region, the supplier shall apportion its service area to each region based on population or area.(4) A method that shall be identified and developed by the department, through a public process, and reported to the Legislature no later than December 31, 2010. The method developed by the department shall identify per capita targets that cumulatively result in a statewide 20-percent reduction in urban daily per capita water use by December 31, 2020. In developing urban daily per capita water use targets, the department shall do all of the following:(A) Consider climatic differences within the state.(B) Consider population density differences within the state.(C) Provide flexibility to communities and regions in meeting the targets.(D) Consider different levels of per capita water use according to plant water needs in different regions.(E) Consider different levels of commercial, industrial, and institutional water use in different regions of the state.(F) Avoid placing an undue hardship on communities that have implemented conservation measures or taken actions to keep per capita water use low.(c) If the department adopts a regulation pursuant to paragraph (4) of subdivision (b) that results in a requirement that an urban retail water supplier achieve a reduction in daily per capita water use that is greater than 20 percent by December 31, 2020, an urban retail water supplier that adopted the method described in paragraph (4) of subdivision (b) may limit its urban water use target to a reduction of not more than 20 percent by December 31, 2020, by adopting the method described in paragraph (1) of subdivision (b).(d) The department shall update the method described in paragraph (4) of subdivision (b) and report to the Legislature by December 31, 2014.

Existing law provides that until January 1, 2025, the standard for indoor residential water use shall be 55 gallons per capita daily, and that beginning January 1, 2025, and until January 1, 2030, the standard shall be the greater of 52.5 gallons per capita daily or a standard for indoor residential water use that more appropriately reflects best practices, which is jointly recommended by the department and board based on studies and investigations by the department, as prescribed. Existing law requires a report to the Legislature by January 1, 2021, on the results of the studies and investigations with information necessary to support the standard recommended by the department and board, if there is one. Existing law provides that, beginning January 1, 2030, the standard for indoor residential water use shall be the greater of 50 gallons per capita daily or a standard the department and the board have jointly recommended to the Legislature. | |

The bill would require the department and board, when making their recommendation, to allow individual urban water suppliers the flexibility to consider existing local hydrologic conditions on an annual basis. The bill would extend the date the report is due to January 1, 2022. | |
