WHEREAS, MWD's water rates have been increasing over time and those increases are expected to continue into the future; and

WHEREAS, in 2009, state legislature passed Senate Bill x7-7 requiring water agencies to reduce per capita water use by 20 percent by 2020 including credits for increasing recycled water use to offset potable water use; and

WHEREAS, on May 3,2011, the Board of Water and Power Commissioners (Board) adopted LADWP's 2010 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) which outlines a long-term plan to increase local water supplies by 2035, thereby reducing LADWP's reliance on imported water supplies; and

WHEREAS, the clean-up ofcontamination in the San Fernando Groundwater Basin is critical to LADWP's success in maximizing local water supply strategies as well as restoring LADWP's groundwater rights pumping capacity; and

WHEREAS, LADWP seeks to establish a set ofGuiding Principles that will accelerate the planning and implementation ofa diverse Local Water Supply Program which includes recycled water, stormwater capture, clean up ofSan Fernando Basin (SFB) contamination, and continuing its industry leading conservation program to ensure supply reliability and cost­ efficiency; and

WHEREAS, the adoption ofany increased or accelerated Local Water Supply Program goals requires more detailed comparative information on technical feasibility and relative cost ofthe elements ofthe Local Water Supply Program upon which the Board can adopt any modified goals.

NOW, THEREFORE, BElT RESOLVED that the Board adopts the following Guiding Principles for the accelerated development and implementation ofthe Local Water Supply Program:

• LADWP will analyze the feasibility, cost, and rate implications ofaccelerating water conservation, water recycling, groundwater cleanup, and stormwater capture goals to levels and dates ofachievement that improve upon the goals currently established in the UWMP. Such increases and acceleration must consider technical feasibility and relative cost of implementation compared to the alternative ofpurchase ofwater from MWD.

• LADWP will continue to work towards completing its Groundwater System Improvement Study ofthe SFB so that it can develop an effective groundwater basin clean-up plan in order to restore LADWP's pumping capacity and allow for increased basin pumping from recharge with stormwater and recycled water.

• LADWP will continue to work with the Upper Area Watermaster to develop a methodology whereby LADWP can receive increased pumping rights SPECIAL MEETING OF COMMISSIONERS (Continued) OCTOBER 4,2012,2:09 P.M. Page 12

• LADWP will continue to implement potential projects and identify potential customers to accelerate, achieve, or exceed its recycled water goal of59,000 acre-feet per year (AFY) by 2035, as it finalizes its Recycled Water Master Planning documents.

• LADWP will develop a Water Conservation Potential Study to quantify realistic conservation potentials for residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional customer classes and to detennine how best to allocate its resources to optimize its hardware conservation program and accelerate, achieve, or exceed its goal of64,000 AFY ofhardware conservation by 2035 cost-effectively.

• LADWP will develop a Stonnwater Capture Master Plan to quantify the maximum stonnwater capture potential within the City and investigate potential strategies to increase stonnwater capture in order to accelerate, achieve, or exceed its goal of 25,000 AFY of stonnwater capture by 2035 cost-effectively.

• LADWP will proactively pursue public education, stakeholder engagement, and outreach opportunities in order to address public concerns, gain public support, and infonn customers about the necessity ofaggressively developing local water supplies in order to maintain LADWP's long-standing reputation ofproviding reliable water services to its customers cost-effectively.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that LADWP will work with the City, County, State Legislature, and other entities to develop and adopt a wide range ofcontinually improving minimum mandatory and higher voluntary sets ofcodes and standards that will accelerate the widespread deployment ofwater use efficient measures, and will broaden the use ofrecycled water and stonnwater capture. The effectiveness ofcodes and standards will be enhanced by improved code compliance efforts led by the City, as well as coordinated voluntary water use efficiency activities, recycled water projects, and stonnwater capture projects led by LADWP.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that LADWP will update its Local Water Supply Program goals and elements on a schedule that will enable the goals, the program components and the cost effects for water system revenue requirements and water rates to be reflected in any water rate adjustments that would be adopted beginning Fiscal Year 2014-15 and beyond for consideration by the Boar
