| 1 | 7.2 | Water Demand Offset Policy, Fee Study and Fees | BPU- Report | REPORT - WATER DEMAND OFFSET POLICY, FEE STUDY, AND FEES
BACKGROUND: The City of Santa Rosa is required by California State Law to prepare an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and Water Shortage Contingency Plan (Shortage Plan) every five years to assess the adequacy and reliability of water supplies for current and future needs as well as plan for and detail how the City will respond to various levels of water supply shortage. On November 18, 2021, the BPU unanimously approved a resolution recommending the City Council adopt the Water Demand Offset (WDO) Policy, WDO Fee Study, and WDO Fees which have been developed to implement the City’s Shortage Plan requirement that new construction must offset water demand during water shortage emergencies that require very restrictive water allocations (water rationing) by the City’s existing customers. Staff will present information that was prepared in response to the City Council’s request, at the meeting on November 30, 2021, for more information, including additional analysis and information regarding alternatives.
