DATE: February 10, 2014 (CC Meeting of 02/19/2014)
SUBJECT: Consider Presentation on Drought Conditions
DISCUSSION
A presentation on the current drought conditions will be given to the City Council by Mr.
Reddy Pakala, Director of Ventura County Waterworks District No. 1, and Susan
Mulligan, General Manager of Calleguas Municipal Water District.
On January 17, 2014, Governor Jerry Brown declared a drought emergency in
California as the state struggles with the least amount of rainfall in its history. Governor
Brown has asked California residents and businesses to voluntarily reduce their water
consumption by 20 percent. The drought declaration also streamlines the rules for water
agencies to transfer extra water from one part of the state to another, easing shortages.
Water conservation incentives and rebates are available to Moorpark water users
through the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD). Residential
rebates are available for high efficiency toilets and appliances, rain barrels and soil
moisture sensors. Water Savings Incentive Programs (WSIP) provide financial
incentives for customized water efficiency projects including: Installation of commercial
or industrial high-efficiency equipment; Industrial process improvements; Agricultural
and landscape water efficiency improvements; and Water management services.
Additional information regarding the drought conditions, conservation tips and rebates is
available on MWD's website: www.mwdh2o.com.
