BOX 9037 PARIS, TEXAS 75461-9037 CCN No. 10480 PWS No. 1390002 AUGUST 2009 ExH1BtT A, 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 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 Crook 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 21St 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 dernands 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 esplains 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 Sur-vev The initial phase of developing a conservation plan is dependent on tbe 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 Water Conservation Methods The City of Paris Water Conser-vation Plan includes the following conservation methods: 1. Public education; 2. Conservation oriented rate structure; 3. Universal metering, meter testing, repair and replacement, identiication of illegal connections; 4. Leak detection and repair; 5. Water conserving landscaping (Xeriscaping); 6. Plumbing retrofit an-d new construction; 7. Recycling and reuse; 8. Water system auditing; Each conservation method is described in the following subsections. l. 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 graups and other meetings in promoting utilities awareness and conservation. Water conservation literature can also be made available at 3 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 char ;e 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 only if the accuracy is within standards set forth by the American Water Worl:s Association (AWWA) for the particular ineter 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 seel:s out and repairs all leal:s on a timely basis with larger leaks having priority for repair over smaller leal:s. 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 an 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 deenand 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 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 vaiuable ~vater 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 beads, drink-ing water fountains, toilets and other plumbing fixtures. No person may selt, 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 worl:ing in the City, routinely attends 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 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 af 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 irribation 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 identifieation 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 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 far 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 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- Ciardy 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 L1se 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. C) The conservation measures establish a bottom range or "most likely" real world potential conservation scenario and an upper ran ;e or "advanced" scenario that assumes ideal situations representing a maximum achievable conservation savings. A range of potential savings is deterraiined for each of the following conservation measures: 1. Reducing unaccounted-for water uses; 2. Reducing indoor water use due to `vater-conserving ptunibinn fiatures; 3. Reducing seasonal water use; 4. Reducing ~~vater use tbrough public education programs; 5. Reducing dry -year irrigation water use. 1. Reducing Unaccounted-for Water tises: 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°/o 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 fgure 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 thaf would result from homes equipped exclusively with water-conserving plumbing fixtures. ''his 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" Savinbs by 2050 = 20.5 gpcd "Advanced" Savings by 2050 = 21.7 apcd Technical Potential Savings Ran = 20-5 to 21.7 gpcd 7 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 ?2.5°/o. 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 bPcd Technical Potential Savings Range = 2.64 to 7.55 gpcd 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 Worl:s 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) _(158.7 X 2%) = 3.77 gpcd Potential reduction in water use (Advanced scenario) _(188.7 X5%) = 9.44 gpcd Technical Potential Savings Range = 3.77 to 9.44 V. Reducing Dry-Year Irrigation Water Use: The TCEQ and TWDB have estimated that the potential 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: 8 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 item5 1 through V above. The following table is a summary of these calculations for the CiTy of Paris water system: Conservation Measure Calculation Procedure Results Reducing unaccounted- (Dry-year demand) X to7 gpcd for uses (Unacc.-for percentage L if over 15%, minus 15% Reducing indoor water 20.5 gpcd (Most likely) 20.5 to 21.7 gpcd use due to water-efficient to 21.7 gpcd (Advanced) plumbing fixtures as determined by the TCEQ Reducing seasonal water Seasonal use (Avg. use X 2.64 to 7.~~ gpcd use 20%) X 7% and 20% Reducing water use Average use X 2°o and 3.77 to 9.44 gpcd through public education 5% I ro6ram Reducing dry-year Dry-year irrigation use 2.04 to 3.88 gpcd irrigation use (Dry-year demand - Avg. I Use) X 10.5% and 20% Total Technical Savings ~ 2895 to 44.44 gpcd Potential To determine the long-term planning goal, th.ese totals are subtracted from the drv-vear water demand (2081 gpcd for Paris in 2000, year of initial adoption of Water Conservation Plan). Long-term planning goal =(Dr-y-year demand) minus (Total Technical 9 Potential) = 208.1 gpcd - 28.95 gpcd = 179.15 gpcd ("Most Likely" conse~~ation scenario) = 2081 gpcd - 44.44 gpcd = 163.66 gpcd ("Advanced" conservation scenario) LonQ-term plannin ;oal for municipal water use = 179.15 to 163.66 gpcd 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 wili 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 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.
