Greater Texoma Utility Authority is a customer of the NTMWD and receives treated water from the NTMWD for delivery to several GTUA Member Cities and Customers including the City of Anna. As a customer of NTMWD, GTUA revised the NTMWD plan to be used for GTUA Member Cities and Customers receiving treated water from NTMWD. The GTUA model plan was prepared pursuant to Texas Commission on Environmental Quality rules. Some material is based on the existing water conservation plans listed in Appendix A. This Water Conservation plan is based on the Texas Administrative Code in effect on June 25, 2013, and considers water conservation best management practices from Texas Water Development Board Report 362, Water Conservation Best Management Practices Guide. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) and Water Conservation Advisory Council (WCAC) are currently reviewing additional regulations in compliance with the mandates of Senate Bill 181 enacted in 2011 by the 82nd Texas Legislature. In addition to these rules, the WCAC is reviewing additional Best Management Practices (BMPs) for Wholesale Suppliers. The draft regulations and BMPs have also been considered in the preparation of this plan. The following items that are not currently in the regulations are presented in the draft regulations or under consideration by the WCAC: ® Reporting requirement for TWDB and TCEQ. ® A standardized methodology for calculating per capita use. ® Calculating per capita use by sector (i.e. total, residential, industrial and commercial). ® Additional BMPs for Wholesale Suppliers (Contract Requirements, Technical Assistance and Outreach, Collective Purchasing and Direct Distribution, Cost Sharing Programs). None of the currently proposed adjustments will cause this plan to be obsolete. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Water supply has always been a key issue in the development of Texas. In recent years, the increasing population and economic development of North Central Texas have led to growing demands for water supplies. At the same time, local and less expensive sources of water supply are largely already developed. Additional supplies to meet future demands will be expensive and difficult to secure. Severe drought conditions in recent years have highlighted the importance of efficient use of our existing supplies to make them last as long as possible. This will delay the need for new supplies, minimize the environmental impacts associated with developing new supplies, and delay the high cost of additional water supply development. Recognizing the need for efficient use of existing water supplies, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has developed guidelines and requirements governing the development of water conservation and drought contingency plans for wholesale water suppliers. The TCEQ guidelines and requirements for wholesale suppliers are included in Appendix B. This water conservation plan was developed pursuant to TCEQ guidelines and requirements. The best management practices established by the Water Conservation Implementation Task Force were also considered in the development of the water conservation measures. The objectives of this water conservation plan are as follows: ® To reduce water consumption from the levels that would prevail without conservation efforts. ® To reduce the loss and waste of water. ® To improve efficiency in the use of water. ® Encourage efficient outdoor water use. ® To extend the life of current water supplies by reducing the rate of growth in demand. The water conservation plan presented in this document is based on the model water conservation plan intended for adoption by the GTUA Member Cities and Customers. This plan includes all of the elements required by TCEQ. Some elements of this model plan go beyond TCEQ requirements. 1 2. DEFINITIONS 1. ATHLETIC FIELD means a public sports competition field, the essential feature of which is turf grass, used primarily for organized sports practice, competition or exhibition events for schools, recreational leagues, professional sports, or sanctioned league play. 2. CITY means the City of Anna, Texas. 3. COOL SEASON GRASSES are varieties of turf grass that grow best in cool climates primarily in northern and central regions of the U.S. Cool season grasses include perennial and annual rye grass, Kentucky blue grass and fescues. 4. CUSTOMERS include those entities to whom GTUA provides water on a customer basis that are not members of GTUA. 5. EVAPOTRANSPIRATION abbreviated as ET represents the amount of water lost from plant material to evaporation and transpiration. The amount of ET can be estimated based on the temperature, wind, and relative humidity. 6. ET/SMART CONTROLLERS are irrigation controllers that adjust their schedule and run times based on weather (ET) data. These controllers are designed to replace the amount of water lost to evapotranspiration. 7. INSTITUTIONAL USE means the use of water by an establishment dedicated to public service, such as a school, university, church, hospital, nursing home, prison or government facility. All facilities dedicated to public service are considered institutional regardless of ownership. 8. MEMBER CITIES include the cities of Anna, Howe and Van Alstyne Texas. 9. MULTI -FAMILY PROPERTY means a property containing three or more dwelling units. 10. MUNICIPAL USE means the use of potable water provided by a public water supplier as well as the use of treated wastewater effluent for residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, institutional, and wholesale uses. K 11. RECLAIMED WATER means reclaimed municipal wastewater that has been treated to a quality that meets or exceeds the minimum standards of the 30 Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 210 and is used for lawn irrigation, industry, or other non -potable purposes. 12. REGULATED IRRIGATION PROPERTY means any property that uses 1 million gallons of water or more for irrigation purposes in a single calendar year or is greater than 1 acre in size. 13. RESIDENTIAL GALLONS PER CAPITA PER DAY (Residential GPCD) the total gallons sold for residential use by a public water supplier divided by the residential population served and then divided by the number of days in the year. 14. TOTAL GALLONS PER CAPITA PER DAY (Total GPCD) The total amount of water diverted and/or pumped for potable use divided by the total permanent population divided by the days of the year. Diversion volumes of reuse as defined in TAC 288.1 shall be credited against total diversion volumes for the purposes of calculating GPCD for targets and goals. 3 3. REGULATORY BASIS FOR WATER CONSERVATION PLAN 3.1 TCEQ Rules Governing Conservation Plans The TCEQ rules governing development of water conservation plans for public water suppliers are contained in Title 30, Part 1, Chapter 288, Subchapter A, Rule 288.2 of the Texas Administrative Code, which is included in Appendix B. For the purpose of these rules, a water conservation plan is defined as "A strategy or combination of strategies for reducing the volume of water withdrawn from a water supply source, for reducing the loss or waste of water, for maintaining or improving the efficiency in the use of water, for increasing the recycling and reuse of water, and for preventing the pollution of water 2." The elements in the TCEQ water conservation rules covered in this conservation plan are listed below.

The Guidance was developed in response to a charge by the 82nd Texas Legislature to develop water use and calculation methodology 5 and guidance for preparation of water use reports and water conservation plans in accordance with TCEQ rules. 4. WATER UTILITY PROFILE Appendix C to this water conservation plan is a template water utility profile based on the format recommended by the TCEQ. 5. SPECIFICATION OF WATER CONSERVATION GOALS TCEQ rules require the adoption of specific water conservation goals for a water conservation plan. As part of plan adoption, each Member City and Customer must develop 5 -year and 10 - year goals for per capita municipal use. The goals for this water conservation plan include the following: ® Maintain the total and residential per capita water use below the specified amount in gallons per capita per day in a dry year, as shown in the completed Table 5-1. ® Maintain the water loss percentage in the system below 12 percent annually in 2014 and subsequent years, as discussed in Section 6.1.3. ® Implement and maintain a program of universal metering and meter replacement and repair, as discussed in Section 6.1.2. ® Increase efficient water usage through a water conservation ordinance as discussed in Sections 7.3, and Appendix E. (This ordinance is required by the GTUA.) ® Raise public awareness of water conservation and encourage responsible public behavior by a public education and information program, as discussed in Section 6.2. ® Develop a system specific strategy to conserve water during peak demands, thereby reducing the peak use.

BASIC WATER CONSERVATION STRATEGIES 6.1 Metering, Water Use Records, Control of Water Loss, and Leak Detection and Repair One of the key elements of water conservation is tracking water use and controlling losses through illegal diversions and leaks. It is important to carefully meter water use, detect and repair leal<s in the distribution system and provide regular monitoring of real losses. 6.1.1 Accurate Metering of Treated Water Deliveries from GTUA Water deliveries from GTUA are metered by GTUA using meters with accuracy of ±2%. These meters are calibrated on an annual basis by GTUA to maintain the required accuracy. 6.1.2 Metering of Customer and Public Uses and Meter Testing, Repair, and Replacement The City of Anna meters all treated water deliveries. Each meter has an accuracy of plus or minus three percent. Any municipal water meter will be taken out and tested upon request of the Customer and if, upon test, the meter is not within 3% of being accurate, it will be repaired or replaced. If upon test the meter is found to be within 3% of accuracy the Customer shall pay a fee of in the amount set forth in Anna City Code. 6.1.3 Determination and Control of Water Loss Total water loss is the difference between water delivered to Member Cities and Customers from GTUA (and other supplies, if applicable) and metered water sales to customers plus authorized for use but not sold. (Authorized for use but not sold would include use for fire fighting, releases for flushing of lines, uses associated with new construction, etc.) Total water loss includes three categories: ® Apparent Losses — including inaccuracies in customer meters. (Customer meters tend to run more slowly as they age and under -report actual use.) Losses due to illegal connections and theft. (Included in Appendix H.) Accounts which are being used but have not yet been added to the billing system. ® Real Losses — includes physical losses from the system or mains, reported breaks and leaks, storage overflow. 10 ® Unidentified Water Losses — (System Input - Total Authorized - Apparent Losses - Real Losses) Measures to control water loss are part of the routine operations of the City of Anna staff. Maintenance crews and personnel look for and report evidence of leaks in the water distribution system. A leak detection and repair program is described in Section 6.1.4 below. Meter readers watch for and report signs of illegal connections, so they can be quickly addressed. Total water loss is calculated in accordance with the provisions of Appendix J. With the measures described in this plan, the City of Anna will maintain water loss percentage below 12 percent in 2014 and subsequent years. If total water loss exceeds this goal, the City will implement a more intensive audit to determine the source(s) of and reduce the water loss. The annual conservation report described below is the primary tool that is used to monitor water loss. 6.1.4 Leak Detection and Repair As described above, City crews and personnel look for and report evidence of leaks in the water distribution system. Areas of the water distribution system in which numerous leaks and line breaks occur are targeted for replacement as funds are available. 6.1.5 Record Management System As required by TAC Title 30, Part 1, Chapter 288, Subchapter A, Rule 288.2(a)(2)(B), a record management system should allow for the separation of water sales and uses into residential, commercial, public/institutional, and industrial categories. This information should be included in an annual water conservation report, as described in Section 7.4 below. 6.2 Continuing Public Education and Information Campaign The continuing public education and information campaign on water conservation includes the following elements: ® Utilize public education materials. 11 ® Include water conservation information with water bills including information about current drought response and water conservation requirements, and directions to the water conservation section of the City's website. ® Encourage local media coverage of water conservation issues and the importance of water conservation. ® Provide Major Rivers curriculum regarding water conservation to the Anna ISD 4th grade elementary school classes (GTUA will provide these materials to the schools). ® Make information on water conservation available on the City website. 6.3 System Operation Plan The City of Anna does not have surface water supplies for which to implement a system operations plan. The treated water purchased from GTUA is provided by North Texas Municipal Water District. 6.4 Coordination with Regional Water Planning Group and GTUA Appendix F includes a letter to be sent to the Chair of the Region C Water Planning Group with this water conservation plan. The City of Anna will send a copy of their draft ordinance(s) or regulation(s) implementing the plan and their water utility profile to GTUA for review and comment. The adopted ordinance(s) or regulation(s) and the adopted water utility profile will be sent to the Chair of the Region C Water Planning Group and to GTUA. 6.5 Requirement for Water Conservation Plans by Wholesale Customers Every contract for the wholesale sale of water by the City of Anna that is entered into, renewed, or extended after the adoption of this water conservation plan will include a requirement that the wholesale customer and any wholesale customers of that wholesale customer develop and implement a water conservation plan meeting the requirements of Title 30, Part 1, Chapter 288, Subchapter A, Rule 288.2 of the Texas Administrative Code. The requirement will also extend to each successive wholesale customer in the resale of the water. 12 7. ENHANCED WATER CONSERVATION STRATEGIES 7.1 Water Rate Structure The City of Anna has adopted an increasing block rate water structure that is intended to encourage water conservation and discourage excessive use and waste of water. 7.2 Ordinances, Plumbing Codes, or Rules on Water -Conserving Fixtures The state has required water -conserving fixtures in new construction and renovations since 1992. The state standards call for flows of no more than 2.5 gallons per minute (gpm) for faucets, 2.5 gpm for showerheads, and 1.6 gallons per flush for toilets. Similar standards are now required nationally under federal law. These state and federal standards assure that all new construction and renovations will use water -conserving fixtures. 7.3 Compulsory Landscape and Water Management Measures The following landscape water management measures are required by the GTUA for this plan. These measures are required by North Texas Municipal Water District, and therefore passed on to GTUA Member Cities and Customers. The measures represent minimum measures to be implemented and enforced in order to irrigate the landscape appropriately, and are to remain in effect on a permanent basis unless water resource management stages are declared. 1. Landscape Water Management Measures ® Limit landscape watering with sprinklers or irrigation systems at each service address to no more than two days per week (April 1 — October 31), with education that less than twice per week is usually adequate. Additional watering of landscape may be provided by hand-held hose with shutoff nozzle, use of dedicated irrigation drip zones, and/or soaker hose provided no runoff occurs. ® Limit landscape watering with sprinklers or irrigation systems at each service address to no more than one day per week beginning November 1 and ending March 31 of each year, with education that less than once per week is usually adequate. ® Prohibit lawn irrigation watering from 10 AM to 6 PM (April 1— October 31). ® Prohibit the use or irrigation systems that water impervious surfaces. (Wind driven water drift will be taken into consideration.) 13 ® Prohibit outdoor watering during precipitation or freeze events. ® Prohibition of use of poorly maintained sprinkler systems that waste water. ® Prohibit excess water runoff or other obvious waste. ® Require rain and freeze sensors and/or ET or Smart controllers on all new irrigation systems. Rain and freeze sensors and/or ET or Smart controllers must be maintained to function properly. ® Require that irrigation systems be inspected at the same time as initial backflow preventer inspection. ® Requirement that all new irrigation systems be in compliance with state design and installation regulations (TAC Title 30, Part 1, Chapter 344). ® Require the owner of a regulated irrigation property to obtain an evaluation of any permanently installed irrigation system if and when it becomes necessary to either repair or replace the irrigation backflow device. The irrigation evaluation should be conducted by a licensed irrigator in the state of Texas and be submitted to the City. 2. Additional Water Management Measures ® Prohibit the use of potable water to fill or refill residential, amenity, and any other natural or manmade ponds. A pond is considered to be a still body of water with a surface area of 500 square feet or more. ® Non —commercial car washing can be done only when using a water hose with a shut-off nozzle. ® Hotels and motels shall offer a linen reuse water conservation option to customers. ® Restaurants, bars, and other commercial food or beverage establishments may not provide drinking water to customers unless a specific request is made by the customer for drinking water. Appendix E is an Ordinance adopting Landscape Water Management Regulations. These regulations are intended to minimize waste in landscape irrigation. Appendix E includes the required landscape water measures in this section. 14 7.4 Monitoring of Effectiveness and Efficiency - Annual Water Conservation Report Appendix D is a form used in the development of an annual water conservation report by the City. This form will be completed by March 31 of the following year and used to monitor the effectiveness and efficiency of the water conservation program and to plan conservation -related activities for the next year. The form records the water use by category, per capita municipal use, and total water loss for the current year and compares them to historical values. As part of the development of Appendix D, the City will complete the tracking tool by March 31 of the following year and submit them to GTUA. 7.5 Water Conservation Implementation Report Appendix J includes the TCEQ-required water conservation implementation report. The report is due to the TCEQ by May 1 of every year. This report lists the various water conservation strategies that have been implemented, including the date the strategy was implemented. The report also calls for the five-year and ten-year per capita water use goals from the previous water conservation plan. 15 B. IMPLEMENTATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE WATER CONSERVATION PLAN Appendix G contains the resolution adopted by the City Council regarding the water conservation plan. The ordinance attached as Appendix E, includes information about enforcement. Appendix H includes a copy of existing ordinances related to illegal connections and water theft. 16 9. REVIEW AND UPDATE OF WATER CONSERVATION PLAN TCEQ requires that the water conservation plans be updated prior to May 1, 2014. The plans are required to be updated every five years thereafter. This plan will be updated as required and as appropriate based on new or updated information. 17 APPENDIX A LIST OF REFERENCES MUUD10117/r1 LIST OF REFERENCES 1.
