As the Drought Worsens, Make Every Drop Count!

Facing worsening drought conditions and water supply projections, the Gilroy City Council has declared a Level 2 Water Supply Shortage effective June 1, 2015. The measures outlined in Level 2 are mandatory and are aimed at reducing water use by 30% from base year 2013 levels. The Santa Clara Valley Water District has called for a water use reduction target of 30 percent based on local water conditions. A restriction on irrigating outdoor landscapes and lawns with potable water to no more than two days per week is now in effect.

These new restrictions support the mandate by Governor Brown and state water officials on April 1, 2015 directing mandatory water reductions throughout California. Santa Clara County’s local conditions warrant the higher target due to projections that groundwater levels would drop to precarious levels if significant water use reductions are not met in 2015.

Local groundwater reserves decreased by about 80,000 acre-feet in 2014. To put that in perspective, all ten of our local reservoirs combined held 68,000 acre-feet at the beginning of 2015. Decreasing groundwater storage increases the risk of subsidence, the sinking of land surfaces, resulting in costly damages to infrastructure and increased flood risks.

The City of Gilroy and other local water providers throughout the county have worked together to develop water use restrictions that conform to one another as much as possible.

New developments and information will be placed on the City of Gilroy website at www.cityofgilroy.org. Additionally, a one-stop web page at www.valleywater.org/drought includes a monthly Water Tracker that describes our current water conditions. You can also find tips for saving water, fact sheets and a monthly “Drought Status Report” that tracks water savings countywide.

The Santa Clara Valley Water District has several conservation programs. The most popular program is their Landscape Conversion Rebate Program. Qualified applicants can receive a sizable rebate for new projects that replace a water-thirsty lawn or swimming pool with low water use landscaping.

Other rebate programs include the graywater “Laundry to Landscape” program, utilizing irrigation hardware, weather based irrigation controllers, connectionless commercial food steamers, high- efficiency toilets and clothes washers. Please become familiar with these programs as well as the Level 2 water conservation measures detailed in this newsletter. 1 The door hanger program is well underway, but if you would like to have your name put on file for future projects, please call Susan Voss at 408-846-0418, or e-mail at: [email protected]

Drought Hotline for questions or to report concerns: 408-846-0412

2 As part of a State of California mandate for expanded public notification and outreach, bilingual door hangars detailing mandatory Level 2 water conservation measures are being placed on every residence within the City limits. A big THANK YOU to all of the volunteers that are assisting in this effort.
