1. INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES
This 2019 Model Water Conservation Plan was prepared by the City of Anna utilizing the 2019 Model
Water Conservation Plan for North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) Member Cities and
Customers, prepared by Freese and Nichols, Inc. for NTMWD.1
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 TCEQ has developed guidelines and
requirements governing the development of water conservation and drought contingency plans for
municipal uses by public water suppliers.' The TCEQ guidelines and requirements for wholesale suppliers
are included in Appendix B. The City of Anna has developed this Water Conservation Plan to be consistent
with 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.
This Water Conservation Plan includes measures that are intended to result in ongoing, long-term water
savings. This plan replaces the previous plan dated February 2015.
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 maximize the level of recycling and reuse in the water supply.
• To extend the life of current water supplies by reducing the rate of growth in demand.

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, the City of Anna has developed 5 -year and 10 -year goals for water
savings, including goals for per capita municipal use and for water loss programs. 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 2019
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, order or
resolution as discussed in Section 7.4 and Appendix E. (This ordinance is required by
GTUA/NTM WD.)
• Decrease waste in lawn irrigation by implementation and enforcement of landscape
water management regulations, as discussed in Section 7.4.
• Raise public awareness of water conservation and encourage responsible public
behavior by a public education and information program, as discussed in Section 6.2.
• Development of a system specific strategy to conserve water during peak demands,
thereby reducing the peak use.

6. 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. The City of Anna carefully meters water use, detects and
repairs leaks in the distribution system and provides for regular monitoring of real losses.
6.1.1 Accurate Metering of Treated Water Deliveries
Water deliveries from the City of Anna are metered by the City using meters with accuracy
of ±95%. These meters are calibrated on an annual basis by the City of Anna to maintain
the required accuracy.
6.1.2 Metering of Customer and Public Uses and Meter Testing, Repair,
and Replacement
The provision of water to all customers, including public and governmental users, is
metered by the City of Anna.
All customer meters are replaced on a minimum of a 10 -year cycle.
6.1.3 Determination and Control of Water Loss
Total water loss is the difference between the water delivered from GTUA and any other
source, and the metered water sales to customers plus water authorized for use but not
sold. (Authorized for use but not sold would include use for fire -fighting, releases for

6. 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. The City of Anna carefully meters water use, detects and
repairs leaks in the distribution system and provides for regular monitoring of real losses.
6.1.1 Accurate Metering of Treated Water Deliveries
Water deliveries from the City of Anna are metered by the City using meters with accuracy
of ±95%. These meters are calibrated on an annual basis by the City of Anna to maintain
the required accuracy.
6.1.2 Metering of Customer and Public Uses and Meter Testing, Repair,
and Replacement
The provision of water to all customers, including public and governmental users, is
metered by the City of Anna.
All customer meters are replaced on a minimum of a 10 -year cycle.
6.1.3 Determination and Control of Water Loss
Total water loss is the difference between the water delivered from GTUA and any other
source, and the metered water sales to customers plus water authorized for use but not
sold. (Authorized for use but not sold would include use for fire -fighting, releases for
6-2
2019 Water Conservation Plan
City of Anna
flushing of lines, uses associated with new construction, etc.) Total water loss includes
two categories:
• Apparent Losses — Includes 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 that 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 and unreported losses.
Measures to control water loss are part of the routine operations of the City of Anna. City
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 that they can
be quickly addressed.
With the measures described in this plan, the City of Anna maintains a water loss
percentage below 10 percent each year. If total water loss exceeds this goal, the City of
Anna will implement a more intensive audit to determine the source(s) of loss and to
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
Water utility 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
The City of Anna record management system allows for the separation of water sales and
uses into residential, commercial, public/institutional, and industrial categories. This
information is included in an annual water conservation report, as described in Section
7.6 below.
6.2 Continuing Public Education and Information Campaign
The continuing public education and information campaign on water conservation includes the
following elements:
6-3
2019 Water Conservation Plan
City of Anna
• Utilize the "Water IQ: Know Your Water" and other public education materials
produced by NTMWD.
• Utilize the NTMWD "Water40tter" campaign for students.
• Insert water conservation information with water bills. Inserts will include material
developed by the City of Anna staff and material obtained from the TWDB, TCEQ, and
other sources.
• Encourage local media coverage of water conservation issues and the importance of
water conservation.
• Notify local organizations, schools, and civic groups that City staff is available to make
presentations on the importance of water conservation and ways to save water.
• Promote the Texas Smartscape website (www.txsmartscape.com) and provide water
conservation brochures and other water conservation materials available to the
public at City Hall and other public places.
• Make information on water conservation available on the City's website and include
links to the "Water IQ: Know Your Water" website, Texas Smartscape website and to
information on water conservation on the TWDB and TCEQ web sites and other
resources.
• Utilize the NTMWD Water My Yard website and encourage customers to sign-up to
receive weekly watering advice.
6.3 Reservoir System Operation Plan
The City of Anna does not operate a reservoir system.
6.4 Coordination with Regional Water Planning Group and GTUA
Appendix F includes letters to be forwarded to the Chair of the Region C Water Planning Group
and GTUA accompanied by this Water Conservation Plan. The adopted ordinance(s) and the
adopted water conservation plan will be sent to the Chair of the regional water planning group
and 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 afterthe adoption of this water conservation plan will include a requirement that the
6-4

7. ENHANCED WATER CONSERVATION STRATEGIES
7.1 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. As of January 1, 2014, the state requires maximum average flow rates of
1.28 gallons per flush (gpf) for toilets and 0.5 gpf for urinals. Similar standards are now required
under federal law. These state and federal standards assure that all new construction and
renovations will use water -conserving fixtures.
7.2 Reuse and Recycling of Wastewater
Currently the City of Anna does not recycle wastewater. Research regarding reuse of treated
effluent for irrigation purposes at the plant site will be conducted, if practical. Other alternatives
for reuse of recycled wastewater effluent will also be researched, in practical.
7.3 Interactive Weather Stations / "Water My Yard" Program
NTMWD has developed the Water My Yard program to install weather stations throughout its
service area in order to provide consumers with a weekly e-mail and information through the
"Water My Yard" website to assist consumers in determining an adequate amount of
supplemental water to maintain healthy grass in a specific location. This service represents the
largest network of weather stations providing ET -based irrigation recommendations in the State
of Texas, and provides the public advanced information regarding outdoor irrigation needs,
thereby reducing water use. Through a series of selections on the type of irrigation system a
consumer has, a weekly email is provided that will determine how long (in minutes) an irrigation
system needs to run based on the past seven days of weather. This recommendation provides the
actual amount of supplemental water that is required for a healthy lawn based on research of the
Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Service and proven technologies. This innovative program has been
available to those within the NTMWD service area since May 2013. The City of Anna will
encourage customers to subscribe to weekly watering updates through Water My Yard or other
similar program in an effort to reduce outdoor water consumption.

7.4 Compulsory Landscape and Water Management Measures
The following landscape water management measures are required by GTUA to be included in
this Plan, due to GTUA's contract with NTMWD. These 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. (NTMWD has identified assigning designated
watering days as a BMP and suggests implementing a watering schedule as part of
this measure). Additional watering of landscape may be provided by hand-held hose
with shutoff nozzle, use of dedicated irrigation drip zones. An exception is allowed for
landscape associated with new construction that may be watered as necessary for 30
days from the installation of new landscape features.
• 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.
• Estimated savings from the year-round watering restrictions, mentioned above, since
NTMWD terminated drought stages in 2015 is approximately 2.5 to 3.5 percent on an
average annualized basis.
• 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.)
• Prohibit outdoor watering during precipitation or freeze events.
• Prohibit 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.

• Prohibit overseeding, sodding, sprigging, broadcasting or plugging with cool season
grasses or watering cool season grasses, except for golf courses and athletic fields.
• 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 (Texas Administrative Code Title 30, Chapter 344).
• Require the owner of a regulated irrigation property to obtain an evaluation of any
permanently installed irrigation system on a periodic basis. The irrigation evaluation
shall be conducted by a licensed irrigator in the State of Texas and be submitted to
the local water provider (i.e., city, water supply corporation).
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.

PART III - E LANDSCAPE REGULATIONS — current through 02/15/2011 PAGE 9
Section 7. Setbacks
(a) Landscape setbacks on street rights-of-way other than major thoroughfares:
For all nonresidential and multiple -family parcels, a minimum 10 -foot
landscape buffer adjacent to the right-of-way of any street other than a major
thoroughfare is required. If the lot is a corner lot, all frontages shall be
required to observe the 10 -foot buffer. Slight variances may be allowed to the
minimum 10 -foot landscape buffer in unusual circumstances, as approved on
the site plan.
(b) Landscape setbacks on major thoroughfares: For nonresidential and
multiple family parcels, a minimum 20 -foot landscape buffer adjacent to the
right-of-way of any major thoroughfare is required. If the lot is a corner lot, all
frontages shall be required to observe the 20 -foot buffer. For the purposes of
this Part, a major thoroughfare is any proposed or existing thoroughfare with
an ultimate right-of-way width of 60 feet or greater.
(c) if unique circumstances exist which prevent strict adherence with the
requirements of subsection 6(g)(1) & subsection 6(g)(2) above, the City
Council may consider a granting a variance during the site plan approval
process to reduce the minimum 20 -foot landscape buffer to a minimum of 10
feet, provided that site design considerations have been incorporated to
mitigate the impact of the variance. Unusual circumstances include, but are
not limited to: insufficient lot depth or size of the existing lot, existing
structures and drives, and floodplain and existing trees to be preserved. A
financial hardship shall not be considered a basis for the granting of a
variance. A variance may be granted if:
(1) unique circumstances exist on the property that make application of
these requirements unduly burdensome on the applicant;
(2) the variance will have no adverse impact on current or future
development;
(3) the variance is in keeping with the spirit of the zoning regulations, and
will have a minimal impact, if any on the surrounding land uses, and
(4) the variance will have no adverse impact on the public health, safety and
general welfare.
Section 8. Tree Preservation
(a) Any trees preserved on a site meeting the herein specifications may be
credited toward meeting the tree requirement of any landscaping provision of
PART III - E LANDSCAPE REGULATIONS — current through 02/16/2011 PAGE 10
this Part for that area within which they are located, according to the
following table:
Caliper of Existing Tree
6" to 8'1
9" to 15"
16" to 30"
31 " to 46"
47" or more
Credit Against Tree Requirement
2 trees
3 trees
4 trees
5 trees
8 trees
For purposes of this section, caliper measurement shall be taken at a height of
24 inches above the ground, and shall be rounded to the nearest whole number.
(b) Existing trees may receive credit if they are not on the City's approved plant
material list but approved by the City Manager or designee; however, trees
must be located within the landscape area to which credit is applied.
(c) Any tree preservation proposed shall designate the species, size, and
general location of all trees on the conceptual or general landscape plan. The
species, size, and exact location shall be shown•on the final landscape plan.
(d) During any construction or land development, the developer shall clearly
mark all trees to be maintained and may be required to erect and maintain
protective barriers around all such trees or groups of trees. The developer
shall not allow the movement of heavy equipment or the storage of
equipment, materials, debris, or fill to be placed within the drip line of any
trees. This is not intended to prohibit the normal construction required within
parking lots.
(e) During the construction stage of development, the developer shall not allow
cleaning of equipment or material under the canopy of any tree or group of
trees to remain. Neither shall the developer allow the disposal of any waste
material such as, but not limited to, paint, oil, solvents, asphalt, concrete,
mortar, etc., under the canopy of any tree or groups of trees to remain. No
attachment or wires of any kind, other than those of a protective nature, shall
be attached to any tree.
Section 9. Sight Distance and Visibility
(a) Rigid compliance with these landscaping requirements shall not be such as
to cause visibility obstructions and/or blind corners at intersections.
Whenever an intersection of two or more streets or driveways occur, a
triangular visibility area, as described below, shall be created. Landscaping
within the triangular visibility area shall be designed to provide unobstructed
cross -visibility at a level between two feet and six feet. Trees may be
PART III - E LANDSCAPE REGULATIONS — current through 02/15/2011 PAGE 11
permitted in this area provided they are trimmed in such a manner that no
limbs or foliage extend into the cross -visibility area.
(b) In the event other visibility obstructions are apparent in the proposed
landscape plan, as determined by the City Manager, the requirements set
forth herein may be modified to eliminate the conflict.
Section 10. Maintenance
(a) The owner(s), tenant(s), and/or their agent(s), if any, shall be jointly and
severally responsible for the maintenance of all landscaping. All required
landscaping shall be maintained in a neat and orderly manner at all times.
This shall include, but not be limited to:
(1) mowing (of grass of six inches or higher);
(2) edging;
(3) pruning;
(4) fertilizing;
(5) watering;
(6) weeding; and
(7) other activities common to maintenance of landscaping.
(b) Landscape areas shall be kept free of trash, litter, weeds, and other such
material or plants not a part of the landscaping. All plant material shall be
maintained in a healthy and growing condition as is appropriate for the
season of the year.
(c) Plant material used to meet minimum landscaping provisions which die or
are removed shall be replaced with plant material of similar variety and size
within 90 days.
(d) Trees with a trunk diameter in excess of six inches measured 24 inches
above the ground may be replaced with trees of similar variety having a
minimum trunk diameter of three inches measured 24 inches above the
ground.
(e) if any tree was preserved and used as a credit toward landscaping
requirements was later removed for any reason, it shall be replaced by the
number of trees for which it was originally credited. Replacement trees shall
have a minimum trunk diameter of three inches measures 24 inches above
the ground.
(f) A time extension may be granted by the City Manager if substantial evidence
Is presented to indicate abnormal circumstances beyond the control of the
owner, tenant, or his agent.
PART III - E LANDSCAPE REGULATIONS — current through 02/15/2011 PAGE 12
(g) Failure to maintain any landscape area in compliance with this section is
considered a violation of this Part and may be subject to penalties prescribed
for violation of this Part.

Water Resource and Emergency Management Plan prepared by Greater Texoma Utility Authority (GTUA)
for its Customers'. This Plan addresses all of the current TCEQ requirements for a drought contingency
plan.' This WREMP will replace the City of Anna plan previously adopted.
The measures included in this WREMP are intended to provide short-term water savings during drought
or emergency conditions. Water savings associated with ongoing, long-term strategies are discussed in
the document entitled Water Conservation Plan for City of Anna. z
The purpose of this WREMP is as follows:
• To conserve the available water supply in times of drought, water supply shortage, and
emergency.
• To maintain supplies for domestic water use, sanitation, and fire protection.
• To protect and preserve public health, welfare, and safety.
• To minimize the adverse impacts of water supply shortages.
• To minimize the adverse impacts of emergency water supply conditions.
GTUA provides treated potable water received from NTMWD to the City of Anna. This WREMP calls for
the City of Anna to adopt Water Resource and Emergency Management Stages initiated by GTUA during
a drought or water supply emergency.
In the absence of drought response measures, water demands tend to increase during a drought due to
increased outdoor irrigation. The severity of a drought depends on the degree of depletion of supplies
and on the relationship of demand to available supplies.
