Subject: RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA,
STATE OF CALIFORNIA, PROCLAIMING EXISTENCE OF A LOCAL DROUGHT
EMERGENCY
Recommendation
Approve the resolution of the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, State of California,
proclaiming the existence of a local drought emergency.
Background
On January 17, 2014, the Governor proclaimed a state of emergency due to current drought conditions.
On April 1, 2015, the Governor also issued Executive Order B-29-15 which directed expedited actions to
reduce the harmful impacts from water shortages and other impacts of the drought. The Governor's
proclamation called upon local water suppliers and municipalities to implement water shortage
contingency plans immediately in order to avoid or forestall outright restrictions that could become
necessary later in the drought season. In response to these actions, on May 12, 2015 the Cucamonga
Valley Water District declared a Stage 6 - Severe Water Emergency in Resolution No. 2015-5-3.
Cucamonga Valley Water District has declared a Stage 6 - Severe Water Emergency in order to achieve
a 35% reduction in potable water as part of the mandate for a total statewide reduction as outlined by
the State Water Resources Control Board. As a customer of the Cucamonga Valley Water District, the
City of Rancho Cucamonga will need to enact emergency measures through ordinance and other
operational and administrative actions in order to meet these executive orders and mandated
conservation numbers.
Additionally, the existing drought conditions exacerbate already perilous fire conditions in the northern
portions of the wild land urban interface of the City of Rancho Cucamonga and increase the risk of flash
floods due to soil conditions. These conditions are likely to be beyond the services, equipment,
personnel and fiscal resources of the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Approval of this local drought
emergency will allow the Director of Emergency Services (City Manager) to exercise the powers,
functions, and duties of the emergency organization of the City prescribed by state law, ordinances, and
resolutions existing and passed in conjunction with this emergency.
Respectfully submitted,

John R. Gillison, City Manager
From: Candyce Burnett, Planning Director; Mark Steuer, Director of Engineering Services/City
Engineer; Trang Huynh, Building & Safety Services Director; Bill Wittkopf, Public Works
Services Director
By: Jennifer Nakamura, Associate Planner
Subject: Presentation, discussion and direction on the City's response and efforts to conserve
water during the State of Emergency and Executive order issued by Governor Brown on
the ongoing drought.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. Receive staff's presentation on recommended direction for addressing water conservation; and
2. Provide comments and input on the actions being taken by the City to conserve water at all City
parks and facilities, and the proposed changes and enforcement of the City's landscape
regulations to provide options for property owners to conserve water; and
3. Direct staff to proceed with continuing water conservation actions outlined in the staff
presentation.
BACKGROUND:
At the direction of the City Manager, a team of staff has been studying and evaluating measures
necessary to address new regulations and mandates from the Governor and other State agencies to
conserve water. Staff is providing a background summary of the State mandates and requirements.
Staff is also presenting a series of recommended City actions to meet these mandates and assist the
community in complying with these new regulations. Included are recommendations for City
conservation measures as a water consumer, as well as measures to allow for various private
activities to be properly designed and regulated.
In January and April 2014 the Governor issued a series of proclamations declaring a drought State
of Emergency. Due to continuing drought conditions, the Governor issued Executive Order B-29-15
on April 1, 2015, which required a mandatory 25% statewide reduction in urban water use through
February 2016; required commercial, industrial, and institutional users to implement water efficiency
measures; prohibited irrigation with potable water of ornamental turf in public street medians; and
placed additional restrictions on irrigation systems outside newly constructed homes and buildings
(Exhibit A).
The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) published a regulatory framework on April 711
and issued draft regulations on April 17, 2015 to meet the requirements of the Governor's April 1,
P5
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP-DROUGHT RESPONSE

2015 Executive Order. The SWRCB adopted the emergency regulation on May 6, 2015. The final
regulation requires Cucamonga Valley Water District (CVWD) to reduce urban water use from June
2015 through February 2016 by 32% compared to the same months in 2013.
On May 12, 2015, the CVWD Board of Directors adopted Resolution No. 2015-5-3 which declared a
Stage 6 Severe Water Emergency. This resolution prohibits landscape watering within 48 hours of a
rain event and limits landscape watering to Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for odd numbered
addresses and Wednesday, Friday and Sunday for even numbered addresses. In addition, a Stage
6 shortage prohibits the irrigation of turf with potable water on public street medians consistent with
the Governor's proclamation (Exhibit B & C).
On May 29, 2015, the California Building Standards Commission approved emergency building
standards, effective June 1, 2015, to address exterior landscape irrigation systems applicable to new
development to reduce outdoor water use through more efficient landscape and irrigation design.
These standards impact the Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance, which created a landscape "water
budget" for specific development. At its core, these standards revise the calculations in the water
budget to reduce the amount of water that can be used for landscaping (Exhibit D).
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY SESSION:
The purpose of the study session is to present information on actions proposed by the City to respond
to the drought and water conservation mandates. Staff will present specific information on City efforts
to reduce water consumption at City sites and potential revisions to the City's landscaping regulations
to encourage water conservation. City staff is analyzing all facilities and parks owned and controlled
by the City to identify potential water saving improvements.
Existing Parks and Facilities
The City efforts to conserve water have been ongoing for many years. Ninety eight (98%) percent of
the City's water use is for outdoor irrigation so water conservation efforts are focused primarily on
irrigation and planted area management. The City's weather based Calsense central irrigation system
was launched in 1987 and has been continuously upgraded to the latest technology. In addition, the
City's landscape design standards have been updated over the years to minimize the water required
by City maintained landscapes. Recycled water is used for landscape irrigation where it is available
saving approximately 210 million gallons (280,000 hcf) of potable water per year. A staff analysis of
the City's water bills shows that over 20% of the City's total water use is recycled water.
In addition to these efforts, which pre-date the new State mandates, the City now must decrease its
potable water use from its 2013 level to meet the CVWD Stage 6 reduction target of 35%. As noted
already, because the majority of the City's water use is for outdoor irrigation our efforts have been
primarily focused in this area. Public Works has taken a measured approach in trying to achieve the
required water reduction mandates. Part of this process was to develop a set of foundational
principles or guidelines that were used in evaluating the current outdoor water use in the parks and
landscaped areas to determine where changes could be made. The following is the list of these
principles:
• Preservation of Turf in the active areas of the parks including
o Playing Fields
P6
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP-DROUGHT RESPONSE
JUNE 17, 2015
PAGE 3
• Around Playgrounds and Safety Zones
• Picnic Areas
o Shade structures
• Preservation of the overarching landscape design, features and aesthetics
• Preservation of property values
• Avoiding changes that are irreversible or permanent wherever possible
• Preserve as many trees as possible
• Use the existing mature landscape material as an anchor element for any changes
Staff will use these principles as the guiding philosophy to try and achieve the CVWD Stage 6
reduction target of 35% in water usage.
Private Landscape Design and Enforcement
City staff has received numerous calls from residential, commercial and industrial property owners
inquiring about modifying their existing landscape to reduce water consumption. According to the
Metropolitan Water District, up to 70% of residential water use is used for landscaping. The
Development Code regulates landscape within publicly visible areas such as the front yard and corner
side yard and has standards for the minimum amount of landscaping required within these areas.
These standards are intended to create open space in developed areas, promote groundwater
recharge, create shade areas for passive cooling of structures and maintain a pleasing aesthetic
within the City. While these standards have continued importance, the traditional use of turf and other
high water use trees and shrubs to meet these standards needs to be reconsidered. It is also
important to develop standards that will be compatible with landscaping needs in the high fire hazard
area. Staff has developed potential revisions to the Code that would apply to residential properties
that will continue to require some landscaping but allow for water conserving designs (Exhibit F).
Staff is using the proposed residential landscaping standards as a guideline to implement similar
standards for commercial and industrial properties.
Assembly Bill 1, under consideration by the legislature, would prohibit cities and counties from
imposing fines for a brown lawn or failure to water a lawn during a state of emergency. While many
property owners are taking advantage of turf removal rebates, some lack resources to make those
changes, or pay increased rates for water and as a result, have turned off the water to their
landscaping. While having dead landscaping is a violation of Chapter 8 of the Municipal Code, staff
is proposing a temporary suspension of enforcement of brown lawns for the duration of Governor
Brown's executive order B-29-15 provided that the lawn is properly mowed, free of weeds and does
not present a fire hazard and the balance of the property is well maintained. All trees and shrubs
should continue to be irrigated on the cycles mandated by Cucamonga Valley Water District.
Staff has also received several inquiries from residents wanting to install rainwater capture and
graywater systems to irrigate their landscapes. These systems can collect and reuse hundreds of
gallons of water that might otherwise be deposited directly into the sewer or storm drain system. Staff
has created draft standards for the proper design and permitting where necessary of these systems
to provide additional options for homeowners (Exhibit G).
P7
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP-DROUGHT RESPONSE

Building Standards
Staff has also reviewed ways to reduce water use during construction. Water use is required during
the grading phase of construction to reduce dust and meet air quality standards for particulates in the
air. While it is not feasible to eliminate the use of water during pre-grading, staff is proposing a new
policy that would require additional monitoring of watering activities and encourage the use of
reclaimed or recycled water for grading activities.
The Fire District's Prevention Bureau has proactively reached out to the State Fire Marshal's Office
to ask if the State mandated annual flushing of private fire hydrants and water mains can be
suspended or modified to a bi- or tri-annual schedule in order to reduce the amount of water that
these maintenance requirements consume. The State Fire Marshal's Office is taking this request
under consideration for possible water saving direction that will be applicable throughout the State.
The Bureau is also reviewing its policies to see if changes can be made to minimize the impacts that
State Fire Code provisions applicable to the installation and maintenance of fire protection water
systems have on the region's available water supplies.
Continued Development Issues
The Governor's drought proclamation does not advocate development restrictions as a method for
addressing the drought. Water supply and availability is a State and regional issue, and CVWD has
planned for adequate water supplies to meet the long term development needs of the City as outlined
in the General Plan. New incoming development is significantly more efficient with respect to water
usage. Each project is carefully reviewed to assure it is consistent with the anticipated impacts which
were considered with the adoption of the General Plan. Any significant changes are reviewed in
detail through the environmental review process, and larger projects are required to conduct State
mandated water supply analysis.
Engaging in development restrictions would have a severe economic impact on the long term viability
of the City. The City is bound by State requirements to meet its fair share of housing growth to meet
the population demands of our region. Restrictions in the extent of commercial and industrial
development would reduce revenues to meet the service needs of these population demands by loss
of tax generating business and a decline in employment. If Rancho Cucamonga were to restrict
growth, the new revenue and employment generating uses would be displaced to surrounding cities
who did not have such a restriction. This would result in a long term decline in the revenues necessary
to maintain the City as it ages. Staff will be prepared at the study session to illustrate how the City is
supported by ongoing improvement and the potential problems with imposing development
restrictions.

EXECUTIVE ORDER B-29-15
WHEREAS on January 17, 2014, 1 proclaimed a State of Emergency to exist
throughout the State of California due to severe drought conditions; and
WHEREAS on April 25, 2014, 1 proclaimed a Continued State of Emergency
to exist throughout the State of California due to the ongoing drought; and
WHEREAS California's water supplies continue to be severely depleted
despite a limited amount of rain and snowfall this winter, with record low snowpack
in the Sierra Nevada mountains, decreased water levels in most of California's
reservoirs, reduced flows in the state's rivers and shrinking supplies in underground
water basins; and
WHEREAS the severe drought conditions continue to present urgent
challenges including: drinking water shortages in communities across the state,
diminished water for agricultural production, degraded habitat for many fish and
wildlife species, increased wildfire risk, and the threat of saltwater contamination to
fresh water supplies in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Bay Delta; and
WHEREAS a distinct possibility exists that the current drought will stretch into
a fifth straight year in 2016 and beyond; and
WHEREAS new expedited actions are needed to reduce the harmful impacts
from water shortages and other impacts of the drought; and
WHEREAS the magnitude of the severe drought conditions continues to
present threats beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment, and
facilities of any single local government and require the combined forces of a mutual
aid region or regions to combat, and
WHEREAS under the provisions of section 8558(b) of the Government Code,
I find that conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property continue
to exist in California due to water shortage and drought conditions with which local
authority is unable to cope; and
WHEREAS under the provisions of section 8571 of the California
Government Code, I find that strict compliance with various statutes and regulations
specified in this order would prevent, hinder,or delay the mitigation of the effects of
the drought.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, EDMUND G. BROWN JR., Governor of the State of
California, in accordance with the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
statutes of the State of California, in particular Government Code sections 8567 and

remain in full force and effect except as modified herein.
SAVE WATER
2. The State Water Resources Control Board (Water Board) shall impose
restrictions to achieve a statewide 25% reduction in potable urban water
usage through February 28, 2016. These restrictions will require water
suppliers to California's cities and towns to reduce usage as compared to the
amount used in 2013. These restrictions should consider the relative per
capita water usage of each water suppliers'service area, and require that
those areas with high per capita use achieve proportionally greater reductions
than those with low use. The California Public Utilities Commission is
requested to take similar action with respect to investor-owned utilities
providing water services.
3. The Department of Water Resources (the Department) shall lead a statewide
initiative, in partnership with local agencies, to collectively replace 50 million
square feet of lawns and ornamental turf with drought tolerant landscapes.
The Department shall provide funding to allow for lawn replacement programs
in underserved communities, which will complement local programs already
underway across the state.
4. The California Energy Commission,jointly with the Department and the Water
Board, shall implement a time-limited statewide appliance rebate program to
provide monetary incentives for the replacement of inefficient household
devices.
5. The Water Board shall impose restrictions to require that commercial,
industrial, and institutional properties, such as campuses, golf courses, and
cemeteries, immediately implement water efficiency measures to reduce
potable water usage in an amount consistent with the reduction targets
mandated by Directive 2 of this Executive Order.
6. The Water Board shall prohibit irrigation with potable water of ornamental turf
on public street medians.
7. The Water Board shall prohibit irrigation with potable water outside of newly
constructed homes and buildings that is not delivered by drip or microspray
systems.

8. The Water Board shall direct urban water suppliers to develop rate structures
and other pricing mechanisms, including but not limited to surcharges, fees,
and penalties,to maximize water conservation consistent with statewide
water restrictions. The Water Board is directed to adopt emergency
regulations, as it deems necessary, pursuant to Water Code section 1058.5 to
implement this directive. The Water Board is further directed to work with
state agencies and water suppliers to identify mechanisms that would
encourage and facilitate the adoption of rate structures and other pricing
mechanisms that promote water conservation. The California Public Utilities
Commission is requested to take similar action with respect to investor-owned
utilities providing water services.
INCREASE ENFORCEMENT AGAINST WATER WASTE
9. The Water Board shall require urban water suppliers to provide monthly
information on water usage, conservation, and enforcement on a permanent
basis.
10. The Water Board shall require frequent reporting of water diversion and use
by water right holders, conduct inspections to determine whether illegal
diversions or wasteful and unreasonable use of water are occurring, and bring
enforcement actions against illegal diverters and those engaging in the
wasteful and unreasonable use of water. Pursuant to Government Code
sections 8570 and 8627, the Water Board is granted authority to inspect
property or diversion facilities to ascertain compliance with water rights laws
and regulations where there is cause to believe such laws and regulations
have been violated. When access is not granted by a property owner, the
Water Board may obtain an inspection warrant pursuant to the procedures set
forth in Title 13 (commencing with section 1822.50)of Part 3 of the Code of
Civil Procedure for the purposes of conducting an inspection pursuant to this
directive.
11. The Department shall update the State Model Water Efficient Landscape
Ordinance through expedited regulation.This updated Ordinance shall
increase water efficiency standards for new and existing landscapes through
more efficient irrigation systems, greywater usage, onsite storm water
capture, and by limiting the portion of landscapes that can be covered in turf.
It will also require reporting on the implementation and enforcement of local
ordinances, with required reports due by December 31, 2015. The
Department shall provide information on local compliance to the Water Board,
which shall consider adopting regulations or taking appropriate enforcement
actions to promote compliance. The Department shall provide technical
assistance and give priority in grant funding to public agencies for actions
necessary to comply with local ordinances.
12. Agricultural water suppliers that supply water to more than 25,000 acres shall
include in their required 2015 Agricultural Water Management Plans a
detailed drought management plan that describes,the actions and measures
the supplier will take to manage water demand during draught. The
Department shall require those plans to include quantification of water
supplies and demands for 2013, 2014, and 2015 to the extent data is
available. The Department will provide technical assistance to water
suppliers in preparing the plans.

13. Agricultural water suppliers that supply water to 10,000 to 25,000 acres of
irrigated lands shall develop Agricultural Water Management Plans and
submit the plans to the Department by July 1, 2016. These plans shall
include a detailed drought management plan and quantification of water
supplies and demands in 2013, 2014, and 2015, to the extent that data is
available. The Department shall give priority in grant funding to agricultural
water suppliers that supply water to 10,000 to 25,000 acres of land for
development and implementation of Agricultural Water Management Plans.
14. The Department shall report to Water Board on the status of the Agricultural
Water Management Plan submittals within one month of receipt of those
reports.
15. Local water agencies in high and medium priority groundwater basins shall
immediately implement all requirements of the California Statewide
Groundwater Elevation Monitoring Program pursuant to Water Code section
10933. The Department shall refer noncompliant local water agencies within
high and medium priority groundwater basins to the Water Board by
December 31, 2015,which shall consider adopting regulations or taking
appropriate enforcement to promote compliance.
16. The California Energy Commission shall adopt emergency regulations
establishing standards that improve the efficiency of water appliances,
including toilets, urinals, and faucets available for sale and installation in new
and existing buildings.
INVEST IN NEW TECHNOLOGIES
17. The California Energy Commission,jointly with the Department and the Water
Board, shall implement a Water Energy Technology(WET) program to deploy
innovative water management technologies for businesses, residents,
industries, and agriculture. This program will achieve water and energy
savings and greenhouse gas reductions by accelerating use of cutting-edge
technologies such as renewable energy-powered desalination, integrated on-
site reuse systems,water-use monitoring software, irrigation system timing
and precision technology, and on-farm precision technology.
STREAMLINE GOVERNMENT RESPONSE
18. The Office of Emergency Services and the Department of Housing and
Community Development shall work jointly with counties to provide temporary
assistance for persons moving from housing units due to a lack of potable
water who are served by a private well Or water utility with less than 15
connections, and where all reasonable attempts to find a potable water
source have been exhausted.
19. State permitting agencies shall prioritize review and approval of water
infrastructure projects and programs that increase local water supplies,
including water recycling facilities, reservoir improvement projects, surface
water treatment plants, desalination plants, stormwater capture, and
greywater systems. Agencies shall report to the Governor's Office on
applications that have been pending for longer than 90 days.
P13
20. The Department shall take actions required to plan and, if necessary,
implement Emergency Drought Salinity Barriers in coordination and
consultation with the Water Board and the Department of Fish and Wildlife at
locations within the Sacramento-San Joaquin delta estuary. These barriers
will be designed to conserve water for use later in the year to meet state and
federal Endangered Species Act requirements, preserve to the extent
possible water quality in the Delta, and retain water supply for essential
human health and safety uses in 2015 and in the future.
21. The Water Board and the Department of Fish and Wildlife shall immediately
consider any necessary regulatory approvals for the purpose of installation of
the Emergency Drought Salinity Barriers.
22. The Department shall immediately consider voluntary crop idling water
transfer and water exchange proposals of one year or less in duration that are
initiated by local public agencies and approved in 2015 by the Department
subject to the criteria set forth in Water Code section 1810.
23. The Water Board will prioritize new and amended safe drinking water permits
that enhance water supply and reliability for community water systems facing
water shortages or that expand service connections to include existing
residences facing water shortages. As the Department of Public Health's
drinking water program was transferred to the Water Board, any reference to
the Department of Public Health in any prior Proclamation or Executive Order
listed in Paragraph 1 is deemed to refer to the Water Board.
24. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection shall launch a
public information campaign to educate the public on actions they can take to
help to prevent wildfires including the proper treatment of dead and dying
trees. Pursuant to Government Code section 8645, $1.2 million from the State
Responsibility Area Fire Prevention Fund (Fund 3063)shall be allocated to
the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection to carry out this
directive.
25. The Energy Commission shall expedite the processing of all applications or
petitions for amendments to power plant certifications issued by the Energy
Commission for the purpose of securing alternate water supply necessary for
continued power plant operation. Title 20, section 1769 of the California
Code of Regulations is hereby waived for any such petition, and the Energy

WHEREAS, on August 26, 2014 the Board of Directors took action to declare a STAGE
2 WATER WATCH pursuant to Title 4 —Chapter 4.24 Water Supply Shortage Contingency Plan
which is set forth in the Cucamonga Valley Water District Code ("District Code"). Said action
was taken in response to the Governor's 2014 Executive Order which declared a State of
Emergency due to extended drought conditions, and
WHEREAS, on April 1, 2015, the Governor issued a subsequent Executive Order
requiring a mandatory 25% statewide reduction in total potable water production and directed the
State Water Resources Control Board ("SWRCB") to develop an Emergency Regulation
Implementing The 25% Conservation Standard ("Regulation"); and
WHEREAS, on April 28, the SWRCB published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to
consider taking action to adopt its Regulation at its May 5-6, 2015 meeting, and
WHEREAS, under the draft Regulation, the District is required to reduce total potable
water production by 32% as part of the mandate for a total statewide reduction; and
WHEREAS, based on the Regulation, it is anticipated that the District will need to
declare a STAGE 6 — SEVERE WATER EMERGENCY in order to achieve a 32% reduction in
total potable water production as mandated by the SWRCB; and
WHEREAS, Water Code Section 31026 provides that the District has the power to
restrict the use of water during any emergency caused by drought, or other threatened or existing
water shortage, and to prohibit the wastage of water or the use of water during such periods, for
any purpose other than household uses or such other restricted uses as may be determined to be
necessary by the District and may prohibit use of such water during such periods for specific
uses which the District may from time to time find to be nonessential. The District has the
authority to impose monetary fines and penalties and take other applicable actions pursuant to
Water Code Sections 350-358, 375-377, and 31029; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the District Code, the Board may take action by resolution to
declare, change and rescind, as applicable, the particular stage of the water supply shortage. The
District Code provides for declaring Drought Alert Stages and for implementing a corresponding
Drought Rate structure in the event such a rate structure is adopted by the Board and made part
of the District's rules and regulations. It is anticipated that the Board will consider the adoption
of a Drought Rate on June 9, 2015 and if adopted, it is anticipated that such a rate structure
would go into effect on July 1, 2015. Therefore, the Board desires to adopt this Resolution in

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors as follows:
-1-
EXHIBIT B
P17
RESOLUTION NO. 2015-5-3
Section 1 Incorporation of Recitals All of the foregoing Recitals are true and correct
and the Board so finds and determines. The Recitals set forth above are incorporated herein and
made an operative part of this Resolution.
Section 2 Compliance With SWRCB Reduction Mandate The Board hereby
determines that in order to meet its 32% reduction standard as mandated by the SWRCB, it must
declare a STAGE 6— SEVERE WATER EMERGENCY. The Board hereby determines that the
District is required to reduce customer water usage by 32% percent as a result of the SWRCB
Regulation which has resulted from severe drought conditions. In addition to Stage 5 measures,
limits may be applied to the number of days, frequency and duration of outdoor watering as
determined by the District and enacted by Board resolution. Penalties for violating any of the
above provisions will be assessed according to the District Code.
Section 3 Declaration Of Stage 6 — Severe Water Emergency The Board hereby
declares a STAGE 6— SEVERE WATER EMERGENCY and hereby establishes the restrictions
and prohibitions as set forth below. The following actions are prohibited, except where
necessary to address an immediate health and safety need or to comply with a tern or condition
in a permit issued by a state or federal agency:
(a) Applying water to outdoor landscapes in a manner that causes runoff such that water
flows onto adjacent property, non-irrigated areas, private and public walkways, roadways,
parking lots, or a structure is prohibited. Sprinklers shall be adjusted so that there is no runoff,
overspray or excessive irrigation from the property;
(b) Using a hose to wash an automobile is prohibited except where the hose is equipped
with a shut-off nozzle;
(c) Applying water to any hard surface including, but not limited to, driveways,
sidewalks, and asphalt is prohibited. However, in the event there is a need to comply with health
and safety requirements, paved areas may be hosed down with the use of a water-broom or
water-efficient pressure washer using not more than 5 gallons per minute;
(d) Using potable water in a fountain or other decorative water feature is prohibited,
except where the water is part of a recirculating system;
(e) Leaks and broken sprinklers shall be repaired upon notification by the District.
(t) Restaurants will only serve water on request.
(g) Hotels will offer guests the option to not launder linen daily.
(h) Watering outdoor landscapes during and within 48 hours after a measurable rainfall is

RESOLUTION NO. 2015-5-3
Q) The irrigation with potable water of landscapes outside newly constructed homes and
buildings in a manner inconsistent with regulations or other requirements established
by the California Building Standards Commission.
(k) Restrictions on the number of days of outdoor watering. All customers will be
required to move to a three day a week schedule for outdoor irrigation of ornamental
landscapes or turf with potable water as follows: Customers with addresses ending in
even numbers may water Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Customers with addresses
ending in odd numbers may water Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays. Commercial,
industrial and institutional customers shall be subject to the same schedule in regard
to outdoor irrigation of ornamental landscapes or turf with potable water.
Section 4 Fines For Noncompliance Financial penalties will be assessed in
accordance with the notice, imposition, appeal, and collection procedures for noncompliance as
set forth in the District Code including, but not necessarily limited to, the applicable provisions
of Sections 4.20.040 and 4.24.050 regarding the failure to comply.
(a) For example, financial penalties will be assessed when a customer who, in the
reasonable discretion of the General Manager/CEO, or his/her representative, violates the
requirements set forth in this Resolution. The applicable provisions of the District Code outline
those penalties and the method of notifying a customer.
(b) As set forth in the District Code, the financial penalties will be assessed when a
customer violates the requirements outlined in this Resolution as follows:
(i) First Violation - The District shall issue a written notice of a first violation to
the customer. The first notice of violation shall be a warning given to the customer by using a
door hanger. Any notice required under this Resolution may include, for example and not by
way of limitation, the following information: the water conservation stage and restrictions that
are in effect; actions required for compliance in order to prevent future violations; and penalties
and enforcement actions which may be imposed for future violations.
(ii) Second Violation - For a second violation, the District shall impose a penalty
in the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00) which will be added to the water customer's water bill.
The second violation shall be in writing by regular mail to the address at which the customer is
normally billed.
(iii) Third Violation - For a third violation, the District shall impose a penalty in
the amount of one hundred dollars ($100.00) which will be added to the customer's water bill.
(iv) Fourth Violation - After a fourth and any subsequent violation, the District
shall impose a penalty in the amount of one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00) which will be added
to the customer's water bill.
(v) Notices for the third and subsequent violations shall be given in writing in the
-3-
P19
RESOLUTION NO. 2015-5-3
following manner: Giving the notice to the customer at the property where the violation
occurred; or if the water customer is absent from or unavailable at the premises at which the
violation occurred, by leaving a copy with some person of suitable age and discretion at the
premises and sending a copy through the regular mail to the address at which the water customer
is normally billed; or if a person of suitable age or discretion cannot be found, then by affixing a
copy in a conspicuous place at the premises at which the violation occurred, and also sending a
copy through the regular mail to the address at which the customer is normally billed.
(c) If the General Manager/CEO, or his/her representative deems it appropriate, water
service will be terminated at the location where the violation occurred due to a failure to comply
with this Resolution or a failure to pay financial penalties. Any such service termination shall be
implemented under the District's authority and procedures including, but not limited to, the
District's rules and regulations for water service.
Section 5 Purpose Of Restrictions And Fines The regulatory purposes of imposing
the requirements and financial penalties, as set forth in this Resolution, are to conserve water,
deter waste and unreasonable use of water, encourage efficiency, and to help cover the costs
incident to the investigation, inspection, and administration of enforcement of this Resolution.
Section 6 Future Stages) The Board may make a determination as to when it may
be necessary to move to a further Stage, or a lesser Stage, under the District Code. Section
4.24.040 of the District Code provides that Stage 1 remains in effect at all times and does not
require the Board to adopt a resolution for implementation.
Section 7 CEQA The Board finds that adopting and enforcing mandatory
restrictions on water use in order to comply with SWRCB requirements is exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section
15268 and Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(1) as a ministerial action. The Regulations
mandate that each urban water supplier reduce its total potable water production by a specific
percentage as imposed by the SWRCB. Therefore, an action to implement a particular drought
stage is not a discretionary action and as such it is statutorily exempt from CEQA.
Section 8 Publication Following Adoption This Resolution shall be in full force and
effect immediately upon adoption. Within 10 calendar days of adoption of this Resolution, the
Board shall issue its determination of shortage and corrective measures by public proclamation
published in a daily newspaper of general circulation a minimum of 3 times for 3 consecutive
weeks. Three publications in a newspaper regularly published once a week or more often, with at
least 5 days intervening between the respective publication dates not counting such publication
dates, are sufficient. Such declaration and notice shall provide the extent, terms and conditions
respecting the use and consumption of water in accordance with the applicable water
conservation stage. Upon such declaration and publication of such notice, due and proper notice
shall be deemed to have been given each and every person supplied water within the District.
Section 9 Severability If any section, subsection, clause or phrase in this Resolution
is for any reason held invalid, the validity of the remainder of this Resolution shall not be
affected thereby. The Board hereby declares that it would have passed this Resolution and each
section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that one or more
-4-

sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases or the application thereof be held invalid.

standards proposed by the Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD), the Division of the State Architect-Structural Safety (DSA-SS), the Office of
Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD), and CBSC. These emergency
standards address exterior landscape irrigation systems applicable to specified
residential and nonresidential buildings, and became effective and enforceable
June 1, 2015, by local enforcement agencies and state agencies as specified in state
law for the affected occupancies.
These emergency standards were developed in response to the Governor's Executive
Order No. B-29-15 which addresses current ongoing emergency drought conditions in
California. The complete text of each emergency standard is included in the attachment
and is available on the Building Standards Commission Website www.bse.ca.gov

SUBJECT: Emergency Regulations Effective June 1, 2015
Outdoor Potable Water Reduction
2013 California Green Building Standards (CALGreen) Code
The purpose of this Information Bulletin (IB) is to inform local enforcement agencies
and all stakeholders affected by California building standards of the recent adoption
and approval of emergency regulations in the 2013 California Green Building Standards
Code (Part 11, Title 24 California Code of Regulations). These emergency regulations
were approved by the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) on May 29,
2015, and are effective June 1, 2015. The emergency regulations require water
budgets for irrigation of outdoor landscaped areas in new residential construction. The
full text of the emergency rulemaking, developed by the Department of Housing and
Community Development (HCD), is included as Attachment A to this IB. Further
information on other state agency proposals and availability of a published Supplement
is addressed in the California Building Standards Commission's IB No. 15-02 available
at the following website: http://www.bsc.ca.gov/pubs/builet.aspx
BACKGROUND
Governor Brown's Executive Order B-29-15 (April 1, 2015) provides a summary of the
ongoing drought conditions in California starting with the declaration of a State of
Emergency (January 17, 2014), and a Continued State of Emergency (April 25, 2014):
citing evidence of a record low snowpack, decreased water levels in reservoirs, reduced
river flows, and declining supplies in underground water basins. In addition, the
Governor acknowledged that a distinct possibility exists for drought conditions to
continue. Further, Executive Order B-29-15 found that conditions of extreme peril to
the safety of persons and property continue to exist due to water shortage and drought
conditions with which local authority is unable to cope. To address these concerns,
Executive Order B-29-15 specified that strict compliance with identified statutes and
regulations would prevent, hinder or delay, or mitigate the effects of the drought.

The objectives and individual directives applicable to this rulemaking include focus on
saving water and increasing enforcement against water waste. The full text of
Executive Order B-29-15 may be viewed at: http://gov.ca.gov/s executiveorders.ohp
In view of the urgency to conserve California's water resources, as deemed essential by
the Governor's Executive Order B-29-15 and prior proclamations, HCD, in coordination
with other state agencies, proposed the adoption of these building standards through
the emergency adoption process.
SUMMARY (See Attachment A for complete regulatory text)
RESIDENTIAL EMERGENCY REGULATIONS IN THE 2013 CALGREEN CODE
EFFECTIVE JUNE 1, 2015:
• A water budget shall be developed for landscape irrigation use that conforms to the
local water efficient landscape ordinance or to the California Department of Water
Resources' (DWR) Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO),
whichever is more stringent. This requirement applies to permit applications for
newly constructed residential structures with landscaping.
• Until the next update of the MWELO by DWR, the following factors shall be used in
the calculation of Maximum Applied Water Allowance (MAWA) as addressed in the
MWELO.
1. ET Adjustment Factor (ETAF) = 0.55.
2. Special Landscape Areas (SLA) Factor = 0.45. (The resulting total ETAF for SLA
shall be 1.0).
• Local agency adoption of MWELO and similar ordinances:
• The HCD emergency regulations supersede the MWELO and CALGreen
residential Tier 1 or Tier 2 (Sections A4.304.3 and A4.304.4). Local agencies will
need to modify local ordinances to reflect HCD's changes to ETAF factors, in the
MAWA formula.
• Local agencies who have adopted a local ordinance more stringent than the
MWELO will need to verify whether the ordinance will need to be revised to
reflect changes in water use allowances resulting from these emergency
regulations.
• The MWELO, as codified in the California Code of Regulations, Title 23 Waters,
Division 2, Department of Water Resources, Chapter 2.7 Model Water Efficient
Landscape Ordinance, should be consulted for further information on methodology
and resources needed for compliance with these regulations. See the following
DWR website: http://www.water.ca.gov/wateruseefficiency/landscal)eordinance/
• DWR is in the process of revising their online calculator for calculating the MAWA
(maximum allowable water) and the Estimated Total Water Use (homeowner

estimated water use based on types of plantings and landscape area). This
calculator should also be available at DWR's website:
htti)://www.water.ca.gov/wateruseefficiencv/landscapeordinance/
• The emergency regulations will remain in effect unless superseded by subsequent
revisions to the emergency building standards as adopted through the certifying
rulemaking process. Code users should subscribe to mailing lists for HCD as well
as CBSC to remain updated on the status of these emergency regulations.
Questions or concerns regarding this Information Bulletin and effective dates may be
directed to Kyle Krause, State Housing Law Program Manager, at (916) 263-4719.
Specific questions related to preparation of water budgets and compliance with water
efficient landscape ordinances should be directed to Julie Saare-Edmonds, Senior

I. INTRODUCTION
The Guidelines to Conserving Water through Rainwater Collecting and Graywater
Reuse systems for Outdoor Use is designed to give homeowners an overview of
graywater and rainwater irrigation systems including information for systems that do not
require permits. Additionally, this guideline gives information on permitting requirements for
installing more complicated residential rainwater collecting and graywater system in
accordance to Chapters 16 (Graywater systems) and 17 (Rainwater systems) of the latest
adopted California Plumbing code.
II. DEFINITIONS
Rainwater and Graywater systems are alternative plumbing systems that help to conserve
our limited water supply. Currently, most of us use clean drinking water straight from the tap to
water our gardens. Graywater and rainwater systems give you another water choice for irrigating
and can save you money on your water bill. Using non potable water to irrigate your garden can
also help replenish local aquifers. Graywater and rainwater are different with distinct requirements
for system design and permitting.
Rainwater is collected precipitation from rooftops and other above
ground impervious surfaces that is stored in catchment tanks for
later use. Rainwater collecting systems can range from a simple barrel at
the bottom of a downspout to multiple cisterns with pumps and filtration. The
`— harvested rainwater is low in sodium and chloramine and fluoride free.
Rainwater is different than potable tap water and requires specific measures
=- for its safe reuse in your garden
•ftt ==F _
Graywater is untreated household wastewater generated from
® hand washing, laundry and bathing. This wastewater can be diverted
from the sewer to irrigate outdoor plants and landscape. Graywater cannot
include any wastewater from toilets, kitchen sinks, dishwashers or washing
machines laundering soiled diapers or other sources of contamination such as
�® darkrooms. Graywater cannot be stored for more than 24 hours. Graywater is
different than potable tap water and requires specific measures for its safe
reuse in your garden.
III. UNDERSTANDING YOUR NEEDS
To design your alternative plumbing system you should know:
• How much water is needed for your garden?
• How much water will be produced from your graywater or rainwater systems?
• What type of water do the plants need (rainwater is acidic, graywater is basic)?
• When do you need it (daily, monthly, and biannually)?
• Where are you going to get it from (shower, sink, and roof)?
• How are you going to deliver the water to the garden (pump system, gravity flow)?
• Which distribution system do you plan to use (sub-surface, drip, mulch basin)?

IV. DIFFERENT COLLECTION SYSTEMS
A. RAINWATER COLLECTING SYSTEM: RAIN BARRELS
According to the latest adopted version of the California Plumbing Code section
1702.2, allows no permit or city approval is needed for rain barrel systems of 100
gallons or less per container, provided the following requirements and conditions
are met:
Rain Barrel (Less than 100 gallons —no permit required) A rain barrel system is
a simple rainwater collector that captures and stores a portion of the runoff from a roof
down spout. A hose attached to the bottom of the rain barrel can be used to irrigate your
garden. A rain barrel will only capture a small fraction of the rainwater that flows off your
roof, the rest of the runoff will still need to drain to a safe overflow location.
Requirements:
Down spout Lilt 1. Your rain barrel should have a spigot/faucet so that you
can access the water, an overflow pipe, a sealed and
screened lid with an opening to attach your downspout
Inlet with and screens on all vents.
a screen 2. All rainwater collection systems must have an overflow
to a safe disposal location (storm water drain or rain
Non-Potable Overflow
Water,Do garden).
NOT Drink! 3. If you intend to water edible plants with your rainwater,
consider installing a first flush diverter, which disposes of
the first inch of rain and ensures that you harvest only
Faucet the cleanest rainwater.
4. Rain barrel must be secured on a firm, level surface so
that it will not tip over. It can be raised slightly to help
with gravity flow irrigation.

Hose — base On the barrel.
6. Secured to ensure all child safety precautions are taken to prevent drowning
7. Rain barrels shall be sited at grade on a sound and level surface at or near gutter downspouts.
8. Water collected shall be used for irrigation only.
9. Rain barrel openings shall be screened with a fine mesh (.05 inch x .05 inch) to pre-vent
mosquitoes from entering.
10. Gutters serving rain barrels shall be debris screened.
11. Large openings shall be securely fastened to prevent accidental drowning.
12. No pumps, connections to domestic water or interior use are permitted.
13. Rain barrels shall be located a minimum of 3 feet from the property line.
14. Overflow or discharge from rain barrels may not discharge across the public right-of-way or
adjacent property, or in any way create a nuisance.
15. Collection vessel(s)for each existing downspout shall not exceed 100 gallons in the aggregate.
16. Rain barrels and gutters shall be cleaned annually with a non-toxic cleaner such as vinegar.
17. Rainwater from rain barrels is not required to be treated.

P50
18. Use of rainwater collected from rain barrels is not limited to subsurface irrigation.
B. RAINWATER COLLECTING SYSTEMS: CISTERNS
Note: Rain catchment systems over 100 gallons or over 100 gallons in aggregate
per downspout will be considered cisterns subject to the permitting requirements.
Cisterns (Greater than 100 gallons) Cisterns are larger systems that can hold much
more water and may include pumps to move the rainwater to the garden. More complex
systems can involve plumbing and electrical work, soil excavation or other structural work.
Permits with the reviews and approvals from Building and Planning Departments are
required for cistern systems.
• Note: The size of your system depends on
To G=er� how big your roof is, how much rain-water
storage you have, and how you intend to
screened GUter system – use the water. A typical standard is that you
can collect 600 gallons of water for every

Consult a licensed professional plumber for
the design, construction, and safety
considerations.
C. RESIDENTIAL GRAYWATER SYSTEMS
1. Types of Graywater Systems:
There are three types of graywater systems that vary in complexity, volume of water
produced and permitting requirements. In order to determine which system is right
for you, you need to know your irrigation needs, including yard size, soil type,
groundwater level and budget. The easiest, most low-tech system uses a washing
machine and gravity to move laundry water directly out to the garden. To further
ensure safety, graywater cannot be used on the edible portions of vegetables and
must be used for sub-surface irrigation in order to reduce human contact or ponding.
You cannot store graywater so only divert the amount needed to water your garden.
All systems must be installed and maintained according to California Plumbing Code
section 1602.
• Clothes Washer System (no permit required) Laundry-to-landscape systems
divert gray-water from the washing machine to your garden without cutting into
existing plumbing. Washing machines have internal pumps which can be used
to pump water directly out to the garden. No permit is required as long as no
pump (other than the washing machine itself) or surge tank is used.
• Simple System (Less than 250 gallons a day.)These systems include
reusing water from a bathroom sink or shower. Simple systems require permits
4
P51
and involve altering plumbing and can include surge tanks and pumps. Simple
Systems are not covered in these guidelines.
• Complex System (Greater than 250 gallons a day.) These systems supply a
large volume of water. Complex systems rely on pumps, surge tanks, filtration
systems and are expensive to install and require ongoing maintenance.
Complex systems must be designed by a qualified professional plumber and
meet all the requirements of the California Plumbing Code. Complex Systems
are not covered in these guidelines.
2. Clothes Washer Systems
Washing machine systems are the least complicated type of graywater system. They
are great for gardens with minimal irrigation needs, are low cost, easy to install, and
require very little maintenance. No permit is required for a clothes washing machine,
providing all system design and code requirements according to the latest adopted
California Plumbing Code section 1601. Permits are required for systems that
include tanks or pumps.
a. Designing a Clothes Washer System:
• Attach washing machine discharge hose to either a 3-way valve to switch between a
graywater sys-tern and the sewer or a second standpipe. Graywater must be capable
of being reconnected to the sewer.
• Graywater then travels out to the garden. A mulch basin with 2" cover is the simplest
system for distribution and irrigation.
• Clearly label flow direction to sewer or yard. Once outside the building, the discharge
must drain directly to the disposal field by hose or pipe. Piping at five foot increments
&at hose connection point is to be permanently labeled: "CAUTION:
NONPOTABLE WATER, DO NOT DRINK"
• All graywater must be used the same day it was produced.
Two examples of methods to divert washing machine graywater to the garden:

b. Clothes Washer System Requirements:
Permit from the City of Rancho Cucamonga Building and Safety Services
Department is not required, but the following requirement shall be used:
1. The design shall allow the user to direct the flow either to the irrigation or
disposal field or the building sewer. The direction control of the graywater
shall be clearly labeled and readily accessible to the user.
2. The installation, change, alteration or repair of the system does not include a
potable water connection or a pump and does not affect other building,
plumbing, electrical or mechanical components including structural features,
egress, fire-life safety, sanitation, potable water supply piping or accessibility.
Note: The pump in a clothes washer shall not be considered part of the
graywater system.
3. The graywater shall be contained on the site where it is generated.
4. Graywater shall be directed to and contained within an irrigation, mulch
basin, or disposal field.
5. Ponding or runoff is prohibited, and shall be considered a nuisance.
6. Graywater may be released above the ground surface provided at least two
(2) inches (51 mm) of mulch, rock or soil or a solid shield covers the release
point. Other methods which provide equivalent separation are also
acceptable.
7. Graywater systems shall be designed to minimize contact with humans and
domestic pets.
8. Water used to wash diapers or similarly soiled or infectious garments shall
not be used and shall be diverted to the building sewer.
9. Graywater shall not contain hazardous chemicals derived from activities such
as cleaning car parts, washing greasy or oily rags or disposing of waste
solution form home photo labs or similar hobbyist or home occupational
activities.
10. Exemption from construction permit requirements of this code shall not be
deemed to grant authorization for any graywater system to be installed in a
manner that violates other provisions of this code or any other laws or
ordinances of the City of Rancho Cucamonga.

V. DISTRIBUTION METHODS FOR RESIDENTIAL RAINWATER AND
GRAYWATER
Although rainwater and graywater systems are different and have distinct characteristics
and permitting requirements, they have similar distribution methods and allowable uses.
Residential rainwater and graywater may replace drinking water for watering plants and
lawn.
A. TYPES OF IRRIGATION SYSTEMS:
• Mulch Basin—simplest method of irrigation
• Sub-Surface Plant Drip System—more complex system
• Sub-Surface Irrigation for Lawns—more complex design and venting requirements
1. Mulch Basins are trenches located be-tween or
4 r L � � = • ! around plants filled with mulch designed to prevent
"---�. rJ.---
�`'�---•. "-"--�-�'j° ponding or surfacing.
The diagram (to the left) illustrates a branched
subsurface irrigation system that waters plants without
T the use of specialized drip emitters, using tubing for
controlled saturation at the roots. Pots are located below
the surface of the system to provide air pockets around
the tubing to prevent root intrusion. This system is less
prone to clogging, but requires more volume for even
distribution.
2. Sub-Surface Plant Drip System directly irrigates X11 W
plants at the root system at a regulated low volume.
Sub-surface drip emitters must be designed to resist '• '= R 1
