regulations and possibly climate change, the District will hereby allocate supplemental
water resources as follows:
1. Priority One - Direct Delivery for Existing Customers. The highest priority for
supplemental water shall be for the direct delivery of filtered water delivered to our
customers from the Yucaipa Valley Regional Water Filtration Facility. Upon fulfilling
this priority, any remaining available supplemental water shall be allocated to the next
priority.
2. Priority Two - Groundwater Adjudication Obligations. The second highest priority for
supplemental water shall be for the replenishment obligations associated with any
groundwater adjudication. This priority shall generally be achieved with the production
of water from the Yucaipa Valley Regional Water Filtration Facility. Upon fulfilling this
priority, any remaining available supplemental water shall be allocated to the next
priority.
3. Priority Three - Groundwater Banking for Future Reliability. Existing residential,
business and institutional customers above shall contribute 15% of their potable water
consumption to the Water Bank for the next year. Delivery of this water shall be based
on the ability of District staff to fulfill this priority within the following calendar year. This
priority shall be required of all existing water customers and begin immediately upon
establishment of water service for new customers. Upon fulfilling this priority, any
remaining available supplemental water shall be allocated to the next priority.
4. Priority Four - Parcel Development Process. The Parcel Development Process is a
component of the Water Resource Validation Program which accomplishes the
objectives of (A) demonstrating that sufficient water supplies exist for development to
occur; and (B) providing sufficient water to enhance the resource reliability and
sustainability of new development. This Progr am requires the deposit of supplemental
water to the Water Bank prior to the issuance of a building permit. The provisions for
the Parcel Development Process are included below as part of the Water Resource
Validation Program.
SECTION 8. Compatibility with Water Shortage Response Stages
A. Water Shortage Response Stages. The 2005 Urban Water Management Plan provides
for voluntary and mandatory levels of progressively more aggressive water demand
reduction requirements. The triggers for these stages will likely be those affecting
imported water sources, provided the Yucaipa, Beaumont and San Timoteo Management
Zones continues to be managed in a safe yield condition over the long-term. The response
stages may also be invoked during an emergency to handle short-term events, such as
earthquake damage, pipeline ruptures, and water quality issues.
The Board of Directors will determine the appropriate state of implementation, with
authority hereby delegated to the General Manager for the implementation of Stage 1 and
Stage 2 Water Shortage Response Stages.
The following Water Use Restrictions have been modified from the 2005 Urban Water
Management Plan to more accurately incorporate the operation of the filtration facility and
