Water Conservation/Emergency Water Demand Management Plan
Drought Contingency Plan
• WATER CONSERVATION
Water conservation is not limited to the recurring periods of Texas drought. Conserving water
and avoiding water waste are important for the long -term sustainability of the community even in
times of abundant rainfall. The city of Baytown recognizes that water is an essential resource for
sustaining the growth and vitality of the city, the region and the State of Texas. This Plan
describes both the city's long -term commitment to conserving water resources for future
generations and the need to manage water demands during short-term conditions when water
supplies are limited.
The city of Baytown has adopted this Water Conservation and Drought Contingency Plan as a
comprehensive set of strategies and regulations on the delivery and consumption of water to
conserve the available water supply and to protect the integrity of water supply infrastructure,
particularly facilities critical for domestic water supply, sanitation, and fire protection, and to
protect and preserve public health, welfare, and safety. It is also the intent of the Plan to
minimize the adverse impacts of water supply shortage or other water supply emergency
conditions.
The authority to implement and enforce the Water Conservation and Emergency Water
Management Plan is established in City of Baytown Code of Ordinances Sec 1 -14. The scope of
authority applies to all persons and premises who obtain water directly or indirectly from the
city.
Water supply has always been a key issue in the development of Texas. In recent years, the
increasing population and economic development have led to growing demands for water. The
latter half of the twentieth century saw the development of local and less expensive sources of
water supply. Additional supplies to meet higher demands will be expensive and difficult to
develop. Therefore, it is important to make efficient use of existing supplies. 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 public water suppliers.
The TCEQ guidelines and requirements for water suppliers are included in Appendix B. The
city of Baytown has adopted this Water Conservation and Drought Contingency Plan pursuant to
TCEQ guidelines and requirements.
The objectives of the water conservation plan are to:
• reduce water consumption;
• reduce the loss and waste of water;
• improve efficiency in the use of water; and
• extend the life of current regional water supplies by reducing the rate of growth in per
capita demand.
The objectives of the drought contingency plan are to:
• conserve the available water supply in times of drought and emergency;
• maintain supplies for domestic water use, sanitation, and fire protection;
protect and preserve public health, welfare, and safety;
• minimize the adverse impacts of water supply shortages; and
minimize the adverse impacts of emergency water supply conditions.

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. A water conservation plan may be a separate document identified as such
or may be contained within another water management document(s). "
According to TCEQ rules, water conservation plans for public water suppliers must have a
certain minimum content (Section 3), must have additional content for public water suppliers that
are projected to supply 5,000 or more people in the next ten years (Section 4), and may have
additional optional content (Section 5).
The TCEQ rules governing development of drought contingency plans for public water suppliers
are contained in Title 30, Part 1, Chapter 288, Subchapter B, Rule 288.20 of the Texas
Administrative Code, which is included in Appendix B. For the purpose of these rules, a drought
contingency plan is defined as:
"A strategy or combination of strategies for temporary supply and demand management
responses to temporary and potentially recurring water supply shortages and other water supply
emergencies. A drought contingency plan may be a separate document identified as such or may
be contained within another water management document(s). "
The minimum requirements in the Texas Administrative Code for water conservation
plans for public drinking water suppliers covered in this report are as follows:
• §288.2(a)(1)(A) — Utility Profile — TWDB form WRD -264 — Appendix A
• §288.2(a)(1)(B) — Specification of Goals
§288.2(a)(1)(C) — Accurate Metering
• §288.2(a)(1)(D) — Universal Metering
• §288.2(a)(1)(E) — Determination and Control of Unaccounted Water
• §288.2(a)(1)(F) — Public Education and Information Program
• §288.2(a)(1)(G) — Non - Promotional Water Rate Structure
• §288.2(a)(1)(H) — Continuous Program of Leak Detection
• §288.2(a)(1)(1) — Means of Implementation and Enforcement — Copy of Ordinance
or resolution No. Appendix C
• §288.2(a)(1)(.n — Coordination with Regional Water Planning Group — Copy of
letter to Region H Water Planning Group Appendix D
Emergency water conservation would be initiated by the City of Baytown (City) Officials in the
event that the City finds that water conservation or a number of other circumstances beyond the
control of the City could disrupt the normal availability of the raw or finished water supply.
This plan sets forth uniform requirements, guidelines, and recommendations for water
conservation for the City of Baytown, Texas. This plan will enable the City to comply with all
applicable requirements and recommendations of the Texas Water Development Board and is
required in the contract with the Baytown Area Water Authority.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
The City operates and maintains approximately 458 miles of water distribution system. The City
also maintains four wells for emergency use only and has a permit from the Harris- Galveston
Coastal Subsidence District to withdraw 8 MG per year. The City operates and maintains seven
elevated storage tanks with a total capacity of 5.40 MG. The total water supply for the City is
purchased from the Baytown Area Water Authority Surface Water Treatment Plant; which is
located on Thompson Road near the intersection of Interstate Highway 10. The City follows and
complies with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Rules and Regulations
for Public Water Supplies, Adopted 1992, National Primary Drinking Water Regulations
(MPDWR), Safe Drinking Water Act (SWDA).
GOALS:
The City's per capita use over the last three years is 136 gallons per day. It is the City's goal to
reduce per capita usage to a lower figure.
The 5 -year goal of the City is to reduce per capita water consumption by 5 %, increase citizen
awareness of water conservation techniques, and to reduce unaccountable water.
The 10 -year goal of the City is to reduce per capita water consumption by 10 %, increase citizen
awareness of water conservation techniques, and to reduce unaccountable water.
To require Utility personnel to detect water leaks in the City water pipes utilizing the City of
Baytown leak detection program. To locate other sources of unaccountable water such as illegal
connections, abandoned services, or customer side water leaks.
All water users and other City establishments shall be metered by the city if feasible. A regularly
scheduled maintenance program of meter repair and replacement will be established in
accordance with the following time intervals:
1. Production (master) meters: test once a year.
2. Meters larger than six inches: test once a year.
3. Meters larger than three inches but less than six inches: test every two years.
4. Meters larger than one inch but less than three inches: test every three years.
5. The utility meters and the customer meters shall be checked and compared
periodically. In case of discrepancy between their sums, action shall be taken for
detecting and stopping leaks or repairing/replacing meters.
DETERMINATION AND CONTROL OF UNACCOUNTED WATER
Unaccounted water is the difference between water delivered by the Baytown Area Water
Authority and metered deliveries to customers. Unaccounted water can include several
categories:
• line flushing;
• inaccuracies in customer meters (customer meters tend to run more slowly as they age
and under -report actual use);
• losses due to water main breaks and leaks in the water distribution system;
• theft;
• fire fighting;
• inaccuracies of wholesale meters (plus or minus 5 %);
• inaccuracies of internal meters (plus or minus 5 %); and
• other unmetered uses.
The city of Baytown will conduct a water audit on an annual basis using the outline
provided by the TWDB. The city will conduct water audits using AWWA guidelines published
in Water Audits and Leak Detection (M36).
In recognition of the importance of public participation in water conservation, all City water
users shall be informed about methods to save water in their daily use for landscaping, lawn use,
and in recreational use. The City shall provide public education programs utilizing the following
methods:
1. Direct mailing of brochures or newsletters on water conservation programs to water
users.
2. Brochures and pamphlets will be made available to the public with a display rack in
City Hall.
3. New customer water conservation packages to be given to all new customers when
they sign up for services: contents will give tips on conserving water during all usage
and describe water - conserving fixtures that can be retro -fitted to house plumbing.
This package shall also be sent to any customer that may have a complaint about a
water bill or high water usage.
WATER CONSERVATION LANDSCAPING:
When issuing building permits, the City shall encourage:
1. Licensed irrigation contractors to use drip irrigation systems when possible and to
design all irrigation systems with water conservation features, such as sprinklers that
emit large drops rather than a fine mist and a sprinkler layout that accommodates
prevailing wind direction.
2. Commercial establishments to use drip irrigation for landscape watering when
possible and to install only ornamental fountains that recycle and use the minimum
amount of water.
The water pressure in the City distribution system shall be regulated so that customer pressure
does not exceed 75 PSI under normal circumstances. The Baytown Area Water Authority
plant that supplies the City's water will maintain a minimum operating distribution pressure to
adequately supply all customers with sufficient water quantity for consumption and fire
protection.
The City shall make information available through its public participation program for plumbers
and customers to utilize when purchasing and installing plumbing fixtures, lawn- watering
equipment or water using appliances. Information regarding retrofit devices, such as low -flow
shower heads or toilet dams that reduce water use by replacing or modifying the existing fixtures
or appliances shall be provided. The City shall also encourage the use of the following water
conserving devices: toilet displacement bottles, water closet dams, dual -flush, flow restrictors,
reduce -flow shower heads shower cut -off valves, faucet aerators, pipe insulators, and water
hook -up pressure reducing valves.
LEAK DETECTION AND REPAIR:
The City shall be responsible for an annual water accounting program. City personnel shall
detect unaccountable water sources such as defective hydrants, abandoned services, inaccurate or
leaking meters, illegal hook -ups, unauthorized use of fire hydrants, and leaks in mains and
services. Once such leaks are detected, corrective repairs shall be undertaken. The City shall
provide detailed data to manage and record all leaks in the distribution system. A progress report
shall be prepared and water lines with excess number of leaks shall be replaced. The city has a
water rehabilitation crew that is continuously replacing water lines in area that are experiencing
an excessive amount of line breakage.
• EMERGENCY WATER DEMAND MANAGEMENT PLAN

remains unconsumed after the water is used for the original purpose of use and before
that water is either disposed of or discharged or otherwise allowed to flow into a
watercourse, lake, or other body of state -owned water.
(17) Water conservation plan - -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.
A water conservation plan may be a separate document identified as such or may be
contained within another water management document(s).
(18) Wholesale Public Water Supplier - -An individual or entity that for compensation
supplies water to another for resale to the public for human consumption. The term
does not include an individual or entity that supplies water to itself or its employees
or tenants as an incident of that employee service or tenancy when that water is not
resold to or used by others, or an individual or entity that conveys water to another
individual or entity, but does not own the right to the water which is conveyed,

CHAPTER 288 WATER CONSERVATION PLANS, DROUGHT
CONTINGENCY PLANS, GUIDELINES AND
REQUIREMENTS
SUBCHAPTER A WATER CONSERVATION PLANS
RULE §288.2 Water Conservation Plans for Municipal Uses by Public
Water Suppliers
(a) A water conservation plan for municipal water use by public water suppliers shall
provide information, where applicable, in response to the following.
(1) Minimum requirements. All water conservation plans for municipal uses by public
drinking water suppliers shall include the following elements:
(A) a utility profile including, but not limited to, information regarding population
and customer data, water use data, water supply system data, and wastewater
system data;
(B) specification of conservation goals including, but not limited to, municipal per
capita water use goals, the basis for the development of such goals, and a time
frame for achieving the specified goals;
(C) metering device(s), within an accuracy of plus or minus 5.0% in order to
measure and account for the amount of water diverted from the source of
supply;
(D) a program for universal metering of both customer and public uses of water,
for meter testing and repair, and for periodic meter replacement;
(E) measures to determine and control unaccounted -for uses of water (for
example, periodic visual inspections along distribution lines; annual or
monthly audit of the water system to determine illegal connections,
abandoned services, etc.);
(F) a program of continuing public education and information regarding water
conservation;
(G) a water rate structure which is not "promotional," i.e., a rate structure which is
cost -based and which does not encourage the excessive use of water;
(H) a reservoir systems operations plan, if applicable, providing for the
coordinated operation of reservoirs owned by the applicant within a common
watershed or river basin in order to optimize available water supplies; and
(I) a means of implementation and enforcement which shall be evidenced by:
(i) a copy of the ordinance, resolution, or tariff, indicating official adoption of
the water conservation plan by the water supplier; and
(ii) a description of the authority by which the water supplier will implement
and enforce the conservation plan; and
(J) documentation of coordination with the Regional Water Planning Groups for
the service area of the public water supplier in order to insure consistency
with the appropriate approved regional water plans.
(2) Additional content requirements. Water conservation plans for municipal uses by
public drinking water suppliers serving a current population of 5,000 or more
and /or a projected population of 5,000 or more within the next ten years
subsequent to the effective date of the plan shall include the following elements:
(A) a program of leak detection, repair, and water loss accounting for the water
transmission, delivery, and distribution system in order to control
unaccounted -for uses of water;
(B) a record management system to record water pumped, water deliveries, water
sales, and water losses which allows for the desegregation of water sales and
uses into the following user classes:
(i) residential;
(ii) commercial;
(iii) public and institutional; and
(iv) industrial; and
(C) a requirement in every wholesale water supply contract entered into or
renewed after official adoption of the plan (by either ordinance, resolution, or
tariff), and including any contract extension, that each successive wholesale
customer develop and implement a water conservation plan or water
conservation measures using the applicable elements in this chapter; if the
customer intends to resell the water, then the contract between the initial
supplier and customer must provide that the contract for the resale of the
water must have water conservation requirements so that each successive
customer in the resale of the water will be required to implement water
conservation measures in accordance with applicable provisions of this
chapter.
(3) Additional conservation strategies. Any combination of the following strategies
shall be selected by the water supplier, in addition to the minimum requirements
in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection, if they are necessary to achieve the
stated water conservation goals of the plan. The commission may require that any
of the following strategies be implemented by the water supplier if the
commission determines that the strategy is necessary to achieve the goals of the
water conservation plan:
(A) conservation- oriented water rates and water rate structures such as uniform or
increasing block rate schedules, and /or seasonal rates, but not flat rate or
decreasing block rates;
(B) adoption of ordinances, plumbing codes, and/or rules requiring water -
conserving plumbing fixtures to be installed in new structures and existing
structures undergoing substantial modification or addition;
(C) a program for the replacement or retrofit of water - conserving plumbing
fixtures in existing structures;
