Agenda Item #3
Informational Item
Regular Meeting
TO: Commission Members
FROM: Public Affairs/Conservation Manager
SUBJECT: Conservation Update
RECOMMENDATION
This agenda item is for informational purposes only, no action is required.
BACKGROUND
Following a period of historically dry conditions, the state has received much-needed
relief from the multiple atmospheric river storms that occurred during the winter
season. This phenomenon has produced a highly beneficial outcome, causing a near
reversal of the drought conditions that plagued the area in 2022. One year ago, over
94% of the state was afflicted by extreme drought conditions, whereas as of mid-March
2023, only 9% of the state still faces the same conditions. Despite the considerable
boost to reservoir and snowpack levels brought about by the exceptional wet winter, it
is important to acknowledge that the effects of the dry conditions continue to linger and
will take time to replenish the groundwater supply.
On March 23, 2023, Governor Newsom announced the easing of drought restrictions in
response to improving water supply conditions in the state. These actions end the
voluntary 15% water conservation goal as well as the requirement that local water
agencies implement Stage 2 of the water shortage contingency plans (WSCP).
East Valley Water District is actively engaged in advancing water conservation efforts
through strategic investments. Currently, the District is in the midst of developing a
Drought Contingency Plan (DCP), aimed at enhancing water dependability and refining
water management practices. Collaborating closely with regional stakeholders, the
District has established a drought planning task force, tasked with contributing to the
development of this plan. The DCP will serve as a vital tool in enabling the District to
proactively prepare and respond to the increasing frequency and severity of drought
cycles.
The District has remained committed in partnering with customers to promote
conservation efforts by providing indoor and outdoor rebate programs, free resources,
and community workshops. In an effort to assist customers with outdoor efficiency, the
District has implemented the irrigation retrofit program. Through active participation in
the program, households can significantly reduce water consumption by an average of

Informational Item
17,400 gallons annually. Participants in the program are entitled to the installation of a
weather-based irrigation controller and the retrofitting of sprinkler nozzles to high-
efficiency ones, both of which will be performed by a District-contracted licensed
irrigation contractor.
Additionally, the District is proactively engaged in monitoring the implementation of
regulatory requirements mandating adherence to a set of water conservation
objectives. The State Water Resources Control Board is currently in the process of
formulating standards that urban water suppliers must comply with in alignment with
the provisions of AB 1668 and SB 606. Staff actively participates in workshops and
closely tracks developments relating to future reporting standards, which are scheduled
to be finalized during the upcoming summer season.

Informational Item
Regular Meeting
TO: Commission Members
FROM: Public Affairs/Conservation Manager
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2023-24 Budget Overview
RECOMMENDATION
This agenda item is for informational purposes only, no action is required.
BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS
Each year, East Valley Water District (District) develops an annual budget to take effect
on July 1, beginning the fiscal year.
This process typically begins in January with the development of the Five-Year
Workplan, which is ultimately adopted as the General Manager/CEO's annual goals.
These goals then create the foundation of Program Goals and Objectives for
consideration by the Governing Board.
Following the consensus of these expectations, the program expenditures are
calculated. Concurrently with the drafting of these targets, financial revenue projections
are developed to anticipate the available funds for use. Should there be excessive
expenses beyond anticipated revenues, then the expectations may need to be adjusted
to fit within the financial constraints of the District. Once these elements are completed,
the document is presented to the Governing Board for consideration. By law, the
District must adopt the document by June 30 of each year.
The budget serves as a guide for activities throughout the fiscal year and is an essential
tool for transparency into the priorities, activities, and costs of operating the District.

BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS
East Valley Water District is committed to delivering world-class service to its
community, customers, and stakeholders. As part of its continuous improvement
efforts, the District has established Industry Benchmarks that offer valuable insights
into its performance relative to others in the industry. The data presented in the
following tables are sourced from the American Water Works Association's (AWWA)
2022 Utility Benchmarking Program, neighboring water districts, and the US
Environmental Protection Agency.
By leveraging these benchmarks, the District can enhance its operations, foster trust
and transparency with stakeholders, and ensure that it continues to invest resources in
building a safe and reliable public utility. The set of Industry Benchmarks have been
developed to provide both the Governing Board and stakeholders a resource to assess
various District functions including:
Finance
• Operating Fund Target Level
• Capital Replacement Reserves
Operations
• Miles of Sewer Cleaned
• Main Line Leaks
Administration
• Water Affordability
• Staffing Levels
Customer Engagement
• Average Customer Service Wait Time
