WATER CONSERVATION PLAN
FOR THE
CITY OF PARIS, TEXAS
Summary
The City of Paris currently serves a population over 26,000 residents and is expected
to grow to approximately 34,000 residents by 2050 based on projections provided by
Texas Water Development Board planning data. The current service area directly served
by the City of Paris is 43.703 square miles. In addition to the residents of Paris, the City
also wholesales treated water to two other water supplies: Lamar County and Marvin-
Jennings-Clardy Water Supplies.
Water is furnished by a single water treatment plant originally built in 1967 and last
expanded in 1995 to a current treated water capability of32.3 million gallons per day.
All water is treated from two reservoirs: Pat Mayse Lake with a maximum water right
diversion of 55 million gallons per day and Lake Crook with a maximum diversion of 12
million gallons per day. This total water right diversion of 67 million gallons per day is
expected to be more than adequate to meet future growth in population and industry for
both the City and the county well into the 21st century.
This ,Vater Conservation Plan has been developed to protect these water resources
and extend their useful life to insure a sufficient water supply is available to provide for
all anticipated, and even unexpected, water demands ofthe future. In order to implement
the basic elements of this Plan, it is necessary to examine current water use practices,
educate the public about water use reduction and/or efficient water usage patterns and
establish methodologies for achieving these goals. This Plan identifies several water
conservation goals and explains those areas where potential water conservation can be
achieved.
Conservation can have the major benefit of reducing overall water demand resulting
in a delay of the need for major capital expenditures for treatment plant expansion or
acquisition of additional raw water rights. Much of the information contained herein is
required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for Water
Conservation Plans. Additional information included is specific to the City of Paris water
supply and treatment system and local usage patterns and necessity.
Utility Survey
The initial phase of developing a conservation plan is dependent on the results of a
utility survey. This survey is a comprehensive profile of water usage patterns by
customer type and covers a period of the previous five years. Data from the survey was
used in calculating technical data for determination of future water conservation goals.

EXHIBIT IL
I,

}
Water Conservation Methods
The City of Paris Water Conservation Plan includes the following conservation
methods:
1. Public education;
2. Conservation oriented rate structure;
3. Universal metering, meter testing, repair and replacement, identification of illegal
connections;
4. Leak detection and repair;
5. Water conserving landscaping (Xeriscaping);
6. Plumbing retrofit and new construction;
7. Recycling and reuse;
8. Water system auditing.
Each conservation method is described in the following subsections.
1. Public Education:
The success of any water conservation program is dependent upon an informed
public. Customers must have an awareness of the needs for water conservation and have
knowledge of how to contribute to the plan. The public education program must provide
information to as many users as possible as an understandable and effective instrument.
Components of the program include items such as distribution of water conservation
literature, public service announcements, water conservation speakers at schools and
service organizations and special events and promotions. Several fine water conservation
documents are available from the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) on water
saving measures that can be used both inside and outside the home, plumbing fixture
retrofitting, xeriscaping and several other conservation practices.
The City of Paris Utilities Department has obtained and distributed these documents
over the past few years to schools, civic groups and the general public. The Utilities
Department will continue to provide such information on an on-going basis and attempt
to reach as many customers as possible to further increase public awareness of water
conservation. The Utilities Department is also very active in promoting public
participation in Water Utilities Awareness during National Drinking Water Week in May
of each year. National Drinking Water Week offers tours of the treatment plant,
participation by schools and youth clubs, public service announcements and Utilities
personnel are guest speakers to schools, civic groups and other meetings in promoting
utilities awareness and conservation. \Vater conservation literature can also be made
available at the Utilities Billing Office and an insert in the monthly bill can inform
customers of the availability of this information.
2

~j,:'-
2. Conservation Oriented Rate Structure:
The City of Paris charges a base rate for the first increment of usage in cubic feet for
all customers, both residential and commercial, based on meter size. Charges for usage in
excess of the base volume charge are at a constant rate per 100 cubic feet. Increased
usage does not result in a lower rate charge therefore, excessive use is not encouraged.
See Appendix A for rate schedule. '
3. Universal Metering, Meter Testing, Repair and Replacement:
All connections in the City of Paris are metered. The Billing Office routinely sends
a list of meters to be replaced to the meter shop at Public Works based on the age of the
meter at the address. All new installations are touch-read, automatic reading systems that
eliminate the possibility of human error caused by visually misreading the register. All
meters repaired are tested for accuracy before installation. All meters of sizes 3" and
greater are tested annually for accuracy. A meter is considered acceptable only if the
accuracy is within standards set forth by the American Water Works Association
(A WW A) for the particular meter type.
The Billing Office reads all meters on a monthly basis regardless of whether the
account is active or inactive. Illegal connections are quickly identified by this measure
and abandoned services with meters removed are periodically checked for illegal
connections as well.
4. Leak Detection and Repair:
The City of Paris has a very progressive leak detection and repair program. The
Public Works Department actively seeks out and repairs all leaks on a timely basis with
larger leaks having priority for repair over smaller leaks. Leak reports are also turned in
by Utilities, Meter Readers, Sanitation, Engineering, Fire, Police and all other
departments in the City to the Public Works Department for repair. Leaks are also
reported by the public and other utility companies as well. Public Works investigates all
reports promptly and conducts repairs as soon as possible. Public Works also maintains
an on-call crew to repair leaks and sewer stoppages on weekends, holidays and after
hours. Several pressure monitoring devices are located at various points throughout the
distribution system and are connected to the SCADA system at various lift stations. A
leak near any of these pressure monitors triggers an alarm at the Water Treatment Plant
and Public Works is notified of a probable leak in the area.
5. "Vater Conserving Landscaping:
The Utilities Department has distributed TWDB information on proper lawn
watering and xeriscaping for many years and will continue to furnish this information in
the future as part of our public education program. Xeriscaping (using drought-tolerant,
low water demand landscapes) has become more popular in recent years with
homeowners learning that such plants not only require less maintenance but result in a
cost savings on water utility bills as well. Other water saving measures such as mulching
and watering at the proper times of day also reduce costs. These are measures easily
3
, ,
r....
performed by any homeowner and the City of Paris will seek new ways to bring these
valuable water saving tips to the customers.
6. Plumbing Retrofit:
Subchapter G. (Water Saving Performance Standards) of Chapter 290 of Title 30 of
the Texas Administrative Code establishes water efficiency standards for faucets,
lavatories, shower heads, drinking water fountains, toilets and other plumbing fixtures.
No person may sell, offer for sale, distribute or import into the state of Texas any fixture
not meeting these standards. No state licensed plumber may install any fixture not
meeting these standards. The City of Paris Building Inspector strictly enforces the state
law concerning these water saving fixtures for all new installations within the City.
Additionally, the Building Inspector, as well as most licensed plumbers working in the
City, routinely attend periodic workshops informing them of new fixtures meeting the
standard added to the list and the de-listing of those that may no longer qualify.
7. Recycling and Reuse:
Through the Industrial Pretreatment Program, the City of Paris works with large
high water demand industries to find ways to reduce water use and corresponding
wastewater discharge through various Pollution Prevention (P2) activities. Most
industries with cooling towers have installed closed-loop systems resulting in no
wastewater discharge and only require make-up water lost to evaporation. This one
activity of installing closed-loop systems (recycling) has resulted in a dramatic decrease
in water demand for these large users. This is only one example of many water saving
measures implemented by the larger users. These types of activities will continue and
further options for recycle and reuse will be pursued. '
Many cities currently reduce municipal water demand by reuse of treated wastewater
effluent for irrigation of city parks and other facilities. Due to the location of the City of
Paris Wastewater Treatment Plant (6 miles north of the City), it is not currently
economically feasible to consider reuse of eft1uent for municipal purposes. Effluent is
reused however, for irrigation of agricultural land by a state-approved diversion permit.
The \Vastewater Treatment Plant also uses treated effluent as plant washdown water thus
reducing the demand for potable water for this purpose.
The Water Treatment Plant practices recycle and reuse by returning filter backwash
water for reprocessing. This water is metered and returned to the head of the plant and
mixed with raw water for treatment.
8. Water Use Auditing:
The City of Paris Utilities Department receives monthly reports of water sales
volumes from the Billing Office. These volumes are compared to metered raw and
treated water volumes to track lost or unaccounted for water. This is the initial phase of
early identification oflost water and corrective measures are pursued accordingly. Water
sales are further tracked by user type as residential, commercial, industrial and wholesale
4
,
iF
"
as part of the annual Surface Water Use Report sent to the TCEQ and TWDB. A
comprehensive water use audit was performed by private consultants in 2003 and another
audit is due to the TWOB March 31, 2006. Comprehensive audits are then required
every five years thereafter.
Other Pro~rams
1. Emergency "Vater Management and Drought Contingency Plan:
The Utilities Department has maintained a plan for emergency water management for
disasters, power outages and other disnJptions of service for the past few years. This plan
has been updated periodically as needed. A comprehensive Drought Contingency Plan
has recently been updated in accordance with TCEQ guidelines for such plans.
2. Reservoir Systems Operations Plan:
Pat Mayse Lake is a federally owned reservoir under the jurisdiction of the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District. Pat Mayse Lake is included in their drought
contingency plan for the Lower Red River Basin.
3. Relationship to Wholesale Water Customers:
Chapter 288 (Water Conservation Plans, Guidelines and Requirements) of Title 30
of the Texas Administrative Code requires all wholesale water contracts entered into or
renewed by the City must include a provision that the wholesale customer must adopt a
conservation plan in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 288 of Title 30. This
clause must be included in the water contracts of Lamar County and Marvin-Jennings-
Clardy upon renewal or extension and must be included in any new contract for
wholesale water entered into with the City of Paris. F~lrthermore, any customer
purchasing wholesale water from the City of Paris who further wholesales water to
another customer must require all successive wholesale customers to adopt a conservation
plan in accordance with Chapter 288.
4. Coordination with Regional "Vater Planning Groups:
The service area of the City of Paris is located within the Northeast Texas Region D
Water Planning Group and the City of Paris shall provide a copy ofthis plan to the
Northeast Texas Region D Water Planning Group.

Water Conservation Goals for Estimation of Potential
Reduction in Per Capita Water Use through the Year 2050
The following tables for potential reduction in per capita water use were initially
calculated in 1999 for the original adoption of the Water Conservation Plan in 2000. The
Utility Survey form and instructions were provided by the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for municipal water conservation planning through the
year 2050.
The conservation measures establish a bottom range or "most likely" real world
potential conservation scenario and an upper range or "advanced" scenario that assumes
ideal situations representing a maximum achievable conservation savings. A range of
potential savings is determined for each of the following conservation measures:
1. Reducing unaccounted-for water uses;
2. Reducing indoor water use due to water-conserving plumbing fixtures;
3. Reducing seasonal water use;
4. Reducing water use through public education programs;
5. Reducing dry-year irrigation water use.
I. Reducing Unaccounted-for Water Uses:
The TCEQ considers unaccounted-for water uses (loss) of 15% or less acceptable for
communities serving over 5,000 people. Losses above 15% provide a conservation
potential with greater losses providing a greater potential. The bottom of the range for
technical potential savings is zero. Calculation of the top of the range is determined by
the following table:
Unaccounted-for uses = 15.9%
Dry-year per capita water use = 208.1 gallons per capita per day (gpcd)
Potential for reduction in unaccounted-for use =
(208.1 gpcd X 15.9%) - (208.1 gpcd X 15%) = 33.09 - 31.22 = 1.87 gpcd
Technical Potential Savine:s Rane:e = 0 to 1.87 l!pcd
II. Reducing Indoor Water Use due to Water-Conserving Plumbing Fixtures:
6
,
Y,
'F ..
"
The TCEQ uses 20.5 gpcd as the most reliable figure to represent the "most likely"
conservation scenario. This figure is based upon the estimate that by 2050, 90% of pre-
1990 homes, and all new homes will have been equipped with water conserving fixtures.
The figure 21.7 gpcd is used as the "advanced" conservation scenario and is an
estimate of the average savings that would result from homes equipped exclusively with
water-conserving plumbing fixtures. This figure is considered "advanced" because in a
typical city, 100% of homes would not be exclusively equipped with water-conserving
fixtures. Results ofTCEQ data yields the following estimations:
"Most Likely" Savings by 2050 - 20.5 gpcd
"Advanced" Savings by 2050 = 21.7 gpcd
Technical Potential Savin!?s Ran!!e = 20.5 to 21.7 !?Dcd
III. Reducing Seasonal 'Vater Use:
The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) has calculated seasonal use as a
percentage of average annual per capita use for East Texas (20%), West Texas (25%) and
a statewide average of22.5%. Seasonal use is calculated by multiplying the average
annual gpcd for each water system by the appropriate percentage. The technical potential
for reduction uses 7% for the "most likely" scenario and 20% for the "advanced"
scenario. Below is the resulting calculation:
Annual average per capita use for Paris water system = 188.7 gpcd
Geographical location = East Texas
Seasonal use = (188.7 X 20%) = 37.74 gpcd
Potential reduction in seasonal use (Most Likely scenario) = (37.74 X 7%) = 2.64 gpcd
Potential reduction in seasonal use (Advanced scenario) = (37.74 X 20%) = 7.55 gpcd
cd
IV. Reducing Water Use through Public Education Programs:
The technical potential for water conservation through public education programs is
estimated to be from 2% ofthe average annual per capita use (most likely) to 5%
7
"
(advanced) according to the Water Conservation Guidebook published in 1993 by the
American Water Works Association. Below is the resulting calculation:
Average annual per capita use for Paris water system = 188.7 gpcd
Potential reduction in water use (Most Likely scenario) = (188.7 X 2%) = 3.77 gpcd
Potential reduction in water use (Advanced scenario) = (188.7 X 5%) = 9.44 gpcd
Technical Potential Savin!!s Range = 3.77 to 9.44l!DCd
V. Reducing Dry-Year Irrigation Water Use:
The TCEQ and TWOB have estimated that the potential savings for reducing dry-
year irrigation is between 10.5% (Most likely) to 20% (Advanced) of the dry-year water
demand in gpcd. These savings result from xeriscaping (using drought-tolerant, low
water demand landscapes) and decreasing watering of tradition landscaping by using
efficient watering methods. Below is the resulting calculation for Paris:
Paris dry-year demand = 208.1 gpcd
Paris average demand = 188.7 gpcd
Dry-year irrigation use = dry-year demand - average demand = 208.1 - 188.7 = 19.4 gpcd
Potential reduction in water use (Most Likely scenario) = (19.4 X 10.5%) = 2.04 gpcd
Potential reduction in water use (Advanced scenario) = (19.4 X 20%) = 3.88 gpcd
Technical Potential Savings Range = 2.04 to 3.88 gpcd
VI. Summation:
Calculation of the Total Technical Potential for reducing municipal per capita water
use is determined by adding the individual technical potential amounts in items I through
V above. The following table is a summary of these calculations for the City of Paris
water system:

irrigation use (Dry-year demand - Avg.
use) X 10.5% and 20%
Total Technical Savings 28.95 to 44.44 gpcd
Potential
To determine the long-term planning goal, these totals are subtracted from the illY:
year water demand (208.1 gpcd for Paris in 2000. Year of initial adoption of Water
Conservation Plan).
Long-term planning goal = (Dry-year demand) minus (Total Technical Potential)
= 208.1 gpcd - 28.95 gpcd = 179.15 gpcd ("Most Likely" conservation scenario)
= 208.1 gpcd _ 44.44 gpcd = 163.66 gpcd ("Advanced" conservation scenario)
cd
These goals are based on a potential reduction in total municipal gallons per capita
per day demand by the year 2050. Some of these conservation measures, such as
retrofitting of water-conserving plumbing fixtures, will not be realized in the early years
of the goal but will result in increasing benefit as we approach the year 2050 when more
older homes are re-plumbed and future new homes constructed. A tentative schedule to
achieve 100% of the goal by the year 2050 would be: 10% by 2010,17.5% by 2015,
25% by 2020, 37.5% by 2025, 50% by 2030,62.5% by 2035, 75% by 2040, 87.5% by
2045 and 100% by 2050.

Appendix A
Definitions of Commonly Used Terms
Conservation - Those practices, techniques, and technologies that reduce the consumption of water,
reduce the loss or waste of water, improve the efficiency in the use of water, or increase the recycling
and reuse of water so that a water supply is made available for future or alternative uses.
Industrial use - The use of water in processes designed to convert materials of a lower order of
value into forms having greater usability and commercial value, commercial fish production, and
the development of power by means other than hydroelectric, but does not include agricultural use.
Irrigation - The agricultural use of water for the irrigation of crops, trees, and pasture1and,
including, but not limited to, golf courses and parks which do not receive water through a municipal
distribution system.
Municipal per capita water use - The sum total of water diverted into a water supply system for
residential, commercial, and public and institutional uses divided by actual population served.
Municipal use - The use of potable water within or outside a municipality and its environs whether
supplied by a person, privately owned utility, political subdivision, or other entity as well as the use
of sewage effluent for certain purposes, including the use of treated water for domestic purposes,
fighting fires, sprinkling streets, flushing sewers and drains, watering parks and parkways, and
recreational purposes, including public and private swimming pools, the use of potable water in
industrial and commercial enterprises supplied by a municipal distribution system without special
construction to meet its demands, and for the watering oflawns and family gardens.
Municipal use in gallons per capita per day - The total average daily amount of water diverted
or pumped for treatment for potable use by a public water supply system. The calculation is made
by dividing the water diverted or pumped for treatment for potable use by population served.
Indirect reuse volumes shall be credited against total diversion volumes for the purpose of
calculating gallons per capita per day for targets and goals.
Pollution - The alteration of the physical, thermal, chemical, or biological quality of, or the
contamination of, any water in the state that renders the water harmful, detrimental, or injurious to
