RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move to approve a resolution adopting the revised Water Conservation Plan for the City of Paris.
POLICY ISSUE(S):
Regulatory requirement; Water management
BACKGROUND:
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) requires that the holder of an existing
permit, certified filing, or certificate of adjudication for the appropriation of surface water in the amount
of 1,000 acre-feet a year or more for municipal, industrial and other non-irrigation uses develop, submit,
and implement a Water Conservation Plan.
The initial Water Conservation Plan was adopted and implemented in 2000 and revised in 2005
(resolution no. 2005-050). TCEQ requires plans to be updated a minimum of every five years.
There are no substantive changes to the wording of the plan from the 2005 version to the one proposed.
The only changes are in the Water Utility Profile section of the plan, which have been updated to reflect
data from the previous five years (2005 - 2009). TCEQ has reviewed the City of Paris Water
Conservation Plan and provided approval for adoption by City resolution. The next revision will be due
by 2014.

WATER COti'SERVATION 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 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 38.12 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 water capability of 36 million
gallons per day. All water is treated from two reservoirs: Pat Mayse Lake
with a maximum diversion of 55 million gallons per day and Lake Crool:
with a maximum diversion of 10.7 million gallons per day. This total water
right diversion of 65.7 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 21s' century.
This Water 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 of the 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 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 pattern and necessity.
Utilitv Survev
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 a calculating technical data for
determination of future water conservation goals.
2 ilr G
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 l:nowledge 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 1VIay of
each year. National Drinl:ing 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. Water conservation literature can also be made available at
147
the Utilities Billing Office and an insert in the monthly bill can inform
customers of the availability of this information.
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 ineters 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 for
human error caused by visually misreading the register. All meters repaired
are tested for accuracy before installation. All meters of size 3" and greater
are tested annually for accuracy. A meter is considered acceptable oniy if the
accuracy is within standards set forth by the American Water Worl:s
Association (AWWA) 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
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. Leal:s 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 leal:s and sewer stoppage 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. Water 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 decnand
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
4
- - ~ 11. Q
as mulching and watering at the proper times of the day also reduce costs.
There are measures easily 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, drink-ing 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 with
the City. Additionally, the Building Inspector, as well as most licensed
plumbers working in the City, routinely attends periodic workshops
informinb them of new fiYtures 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 larbe 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 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 effluent for municipal purposes. Effluent is reused however, for irrigation
of agricultural land by a state-approved diversion permit. The Wastewater
Treatment Plant also uses treated effluent as plant wash down 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 of lost water and
corrective measures are pursued accordingly. Water sales are further
tracked by user type as residential, commercial, industrial and wholesale as
5 -~y14~
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 the last audit was performed July 7, 2009 by the City of Paris
Utilities Dept. Comprehensive audits are the required every five years
thereafter.
Other ProQrams
1. Emergency Water Management and Drought Contingency Plan:
The Utilities Department has maintained a plan for emergency water
management for disasters, power outages and other disruptions 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. 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 a11
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. Furthermore, 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 Water 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 of this plan to the Northeast Texas Region D Water Planning Group.
Water Conservation Goals for Estimation of Potential
Reduction in Per Capita Water Use throuah 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.
- -15U
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
ZT.
fixtures;
3. Reducing seasonal water use;
4. Reducing water use through public education programs;
5. Reducing dry -year irrigation water use.
1. Reducing Unaccounted-for Water Uses:
The TCEQ considers unaccounted-for water uses (loss) 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 Savings Range - 0 to 1.87 gpcd
II. Reducing Indoor Water Use due to Water-Conserving Plumbing Fixtures:
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 of TCEQ
data yield the following estimations:
"Most Likely" Savings by 2050 = 20.5 gpcd
"Advanced" Savings by 2050 = 21.7 gpcd
Technical Potential Savings Range = 20-5 to 21.7 gpcd
7
- -15i
III. Reducing Seasonal Water 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 of 22.5%. 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°/a) = 7.55
gpcd
Technical Potential Savinas RanQe = 2.64 to 7.55 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% of the average annual per
capita use (most likely) to 5% (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 Savinas Ranae = 3.77 to 9.44 a cd I
V. Reducing Dry-Year Irrigation Water Use:
The TCEQ and TWDB have estimated that the potential for reducing
dry-year irrigation is beriveen 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:
g ~ ._~`152
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
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 1 through V above. The following table is a
summary of these calculations for the City of Paris water system:

Long-term planning goal for municipal water use = 179.15 to 163.66
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-conservation plumbing
fixtures, will not be realized in the early years of the goal but will see result in
increasing benefit as we approach the year 2050 when older homes are re-
plumbed and future new homes constructed. A tentative schedule to achieve
100% of the goal by the y-ear 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,
