CONSIDERATION OF THE 2019 OGDEN CITY WATER CONSERVATION PLAN Set/not set a public hearing for December 15, 2020 The Utah state code requires each city or entity that provides culinary water to more than 500 residents to establish a water conservation plan. The plan must be adopted by the legislative body and is to be updated every five years. Ogden City’s water conservation plan was last updated for 2014 and the proposed plan is the five-year update as required by state law. As set forth is state code section 73-10-32, Ogden City, as a retail water provider, is required to develop and adopt a water conservation plan. The plan is to be developed by the City and adopted by the legislative body initially and then updated every five years. Ogden City’s plan was updated for 2014 and the proposed plan provides the required update after the five-year period. As outlined in state code, the plan is to include a clearly stated overall water usage reduction goal and an implementation plan for each of the water conservation measures it chooses to use. This includes a timeline for action and an evaluation process to measure progress. As part of the development and submission of the plan to the state, the plan must be presented at a public hearing and documentation of the notification process and the minutes for the meeting must be included as part of the submittal. The plan is broken into seven main sections and includes an introduction, a history of Ogden’s water system, a description of the City’s current waster system, population growth and continual water conservation, internal conservation measures, external conservation measures and water conservation goals. The transmittal packet also includes a copy of the City’s current utility rate structure, the City’s water conservation ordinance, the City’s backflow and cross contamination control ordinance and the City’s water shortage management plan. Ogden City Council Meeting: December 1, 2020 1 2019 Water Conservation Plan Goals The 2019 Water Conservation Plan goals build on those established with the 2014 plan. The 2014 plan adopted the state water reduction goal of decreasing per capita water consumption by 25% by the year 2050. The 2014 plan’s goals were calculated from the base year of 2000, which had gallons per capita per day (GPCD) usage of 256. The 2014 plan goal was to reach 192 GPCD by 2050 with an estimated 2050 population projection of 116,943. The 2019 plan, which once again is based on the state water reduction goals, has a different metric from the 2014 plan and uses a static number versus a percentage reduction. The 2019 plan is proposing a total reduction of GPCD to 175 by 2065 with an estimated population projection of 108,634 at that time. The 2019 plan extends the goal timeline to 2065 and has a lower population projection for 2065 than the 2014 plan had for 2050. This change in population projection was based on the 2018 Culinary Water Master Plan. The 2019 plan includes GPCD usage for 2019 plus the previous five years as shown in the table below. Year Gallons per day per capita 2014 200 2015 198 2016 225 2017 183 2018 193 2019 193 The data show that the initial goal of 192 GPDC was essentially achieved for 2017, 2018 and 2019, well ahead of the 2050 goal. However, as noted, the 2019 plan sets a goal of 175 GPDC for 2065 with a population increase of approximately 18,000 to 20,000 residents in that time. The data show a downward trend in water usage over the last five years; however, in order to achieve the reduction in per capita water usage while accommodating an increasing population, conservation measures must still be put in place. Even with conservation measures, overall water usage is expected to increase by 2065. As measured in acre-feet, the City is expected to see an increase in overall water usage from 19,311 acre-feet in 2015 to 21,295 acre-feet in 2065, an increase of 1,984. The plan notes that the Ogden City Council Meeting: December 1, 2020 2 proposed reductions in per capita usage will allow the City to supply the needed water to residents without the need for additional infrastructure. The 2019 plan articulates the conservation measures the City is planning on implementing. As the plan states, the goals should include lowering peak day demand, reducing waste, distribution system efficiency and optimized system capacities. These goals include both internal and external measures. Each of the measures is described in more detail in the plan, but a list of the measures is included below. Internal Conservation Measures • Capital Improvement Projects • 5-year Capital improvement Plan • Leak Detection and Repair • Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) • System Water Loss Control and Water Audit • Pressure Regulator Valves • Water Rate Structure • Meter Replacement • Secondary Water System • Enforce Current Water Conservation Ordinance • Develop and Adopt Future Water Conservation Ordinance • Install Smart Flow Sensors • Water Conservation Program Coordinator • Backflow Program • Water Reclamation External Conservation Measures • Public Information • Public Education and Involvement • Water Week • Emergency Readiness • Partnering Entities • Landscape Conservation Programs and Incentives • Outdoor Water Audit Programs • Indoor Water Audit Programs • Real-time Metering • Water Efficient Plumbing Standards • Rain Harvesting • High Water Usage Reports Ogden City Council Meeting: December 1, 2020 3 In Chapter 7 of the 2019 plan, a chart is included showing the water conservation program activities the City is participating in and whether each activity has already been implemented and is ongoing, is in development or has been suggested but not implemented at this point. In addition to the chart, the plan sets out the major activities the City will undertake to achieve the water reduction goals in the next five years. These include the following: • Establish procedures to improve infrastructures, leak detection, or action taken by the Public Utilities Division. • Work to implement and encourage water efficient landscapes, landscape ordinances, policies, and regulations. • Continue real-time meter replacements. • Enhance classroom opportunities for homeowners and youth in the community on water conserving activities and water use habits. • Work closely with other entities such as Weber Basin Water Conservancy District and Utah State University on water conservation tips and procedures. • Continue to promote the use of water efficient plumbing fixtures. • Educate consumers about benefits of water conservation and provide information on techniques and strategies in order to achieve conservation goals. 1.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The purpose of this action is to update the 2014 Water Conservation Plan. A Water Conservation Plan is required by the State of Utah. An update is required every five years. Once updated, the plan must be discussed and formally adopted by Administration and put out for public comment. The 2019 Water Conservation Plan accounts for current efforts being used by Ogden City. It also outlines the future efforts that are planned. There will be no fiscal impact with the adoption of this plan update. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In 2004, the State of Utah required that a Water Conservation Plan be adopted. The Water Conservation Plan is required to be updated every 5 years. The plan was updated in 2009 and 2014. The attached plan has been updated for 2019. The plan is broken down into seven main sections. Each section contains information that provides background on the City’s history with conservation and its plan going forward. These seven sections are: Introduction, History of Ogden’s Water System, Description of Ogden and its Water System, Population Growth and Continual Water Conservation, Internal Conservation Measures, External Conservation Measures and Water Conservation Goals. Pages 17 – 21 contain an outline of ongoing measures, measures being developed and planned future measures. Many of these measures have been occurring for some time. The water conservation coordinator has helped speed along the development of these measures.

    Weber County to 1847

    WEBER COUNTY TO 1847 1.84: 6 was indeed a "year of decision" as described by Ogden- born historian Bernard DeVoto. The Smithsonian Institution was founded by Congress and Francis Parkman, a twenty-three-year-old Harvard student, began to travel west on the Oregon Trail and write his monumental history of the westward movement. More than 2,700 travelers journeyed west on the Oregon and California trails that year. John A. Roebling revolutionized bridge engineering by using twisted wire cables to support a suspension bridge over the Monongahela River in Pennsylvania. Violence was widespread in the country and included the Mormons being driven from their settle­ ments in Illinois westward into Iowa, where they established tempo­ rary settlements at places like Mount Pisgah and Garden Grove as well as along the Missouri River at Council Bluffs. The first recorded baseball game was played at Elysian Field in Hoboken, New Jersey, between the New York Nine and the Knickerbockers. The New York Nine won 23-1. In 1846 James K. Polk was nearly halfway through his only term as president of the United States, and he was pushing for expansion 1 HISTORY OF WEBER COUNTY to both Oregon and Texas on the theme of Manifest Destiny—that it was the nation's destiny to control the continent. During that same year, the Oregon question with Great Britain was settled peacefully, with the United States acquiring all of the Oregon Territory west of the Rocky Mountains and northward from the 42nd parallel to the 49th parallel. Texas had been annexed to the United States in 1845 and controversy related to the Texas-Mexico border erupted into the Mexican War in May 1846.

Ogden Canyon and the Bridge The historical development of Ogden Canyon is closely linked to growth within Ogden Valley. The city of Ogden was named after the fur trapper, Peter Skene Ogden, although his activities in this region were actually within Ogden Valley near the present-day towns of Eden, Liberty and Huntsville. In 1844-45* Miles Goodyear established the first permanent white settlement near the center of present Ogden City. The city continued to grow and flourish but, as of 1854» records indicate that there was still no road through the formidable Ogden Canyon.* A road through the canyon was eventually surveyed in 1857 and construction began in 1858.

UDALL, Secretary GEOLOGICAL SURVEY William T. Pecora, Director Library of Congress catalog-card No. 66-260 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office Washington, D. C. 20402 PREFACE During much of Pleistocene time, and probably earlier, northern Utah was occupied by lakes of large extent. The best known and last widespread lake in this area was Lake Bonne­ ville. At maximum extent, Lake Bonneville was approximately as large as Lake Michigan, about 20,000 square miles, and as much as 1,000 feet deep. The relics of Pleistocene Lake Bonneville are modern Utah Lake, Great Salt Lake, and Sevier Lake. In 1890 the U.S. Geological Survey published G. K. Gilbert's classic study of Lake Bonne­ ville, which is still the only study of the lake that includes its entire basin. In 1946 the Geo­ logical Survey began a restudy of the geology of the Bonneville Basin to evaluate in greater detail the geologic history and the resources of the region (Hunt and others, 1953; Bissell, 1963; Williams, 1963).

The rustic lodge nestled along the Ogden River was built by rule of thumb, with no formal architectural plans ever created. The native lumber was cut from the mountains in the Monte Cristo area, 20 miles east of the OACC. Although Bamberger lost its bid for franchise, it continued to operate the lodge as a restaurant for about two years. 1918 J.H.

    When Men and Mountains Meet: Pioneer Life in Utah's Ogden Valley

    Andrew H. Hedges: Pioneer Life in Utah’s Ogden Valley 115 When Men and Mountains Meet: Pioneer Life in Utah’s Ogden Valley Andrew H. Hedges Located about a dozen miles east of Ogden, Utah, Ogden Valley is con- sidered by many to be one of the most picturesque places in Utah. Fifteen miles long and some five or six miles broad at its widest point, the valley’s open, level fields and numerous, wooded waterways present a striking con- trast to the mountains and hills surrounding it. Home to three ski resorts— one of which will host the downhill skiing events in the 2002 Olympics— and scenic Pineview Reservoir, Ogden Valley in recent years has become a vacationer’s paradise, and real-estate developers are hard at work today transforming yesterday’s alfalfa and grain fields into subdivisions and “ranchettes” for the increasingly few people who can afford to live there per- manently. With the speedboats, the Olympic venue, and the influx of escapees from California’s urban sprawl, it is easy to forget the valley’s remarkable his- tory and the people who first braved its winters as permanent, year-round residents. These were neither Indians nor mountain men—both of whom retreated to more favorable climes during the winter months—but members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, whose pioneering efforts and accomplishments in the Intermountain West have received the atten- tion of many scholars in recent years.1 In many respects, pioneer life in Ogden Valley closely resembled that of other communities in early Utah.
