0, H F I - <br />RIVERSIDE PUBLIC UTILITIES <br />W& Board Memorandum <br />P U B L I C U T I L I T I E S <br />BOARD OF PUBLIC UTILITIES DATE: SEPTEMBER 11, 2017 <br />GENERAL MANAGER'S REPORT <br />ITEM NO: 13 <br />Riverside Public Utilities <br />Drought and Conservation Efforts / Groundwater Level Update <br />As of <br />July 2017 <br />Conservation Efforts <br />For the month of July 2017, Riverside resident's water conservation reached 11 %. Cumulatively <br />it is at 15% from June 2016 to July 2017 (Figure 1). This translates to 12,916 Acre-feet (4,209 <br />million gallons) of potable water being conserved. <br />On a Regional scale, Riverside resident's water consumption; measured in gallons per capita <br />per day (Residential-GPCD) is comparable to the aggregate consumption within the surrounding <br />ten water agencies (Figure 2). RPU's Residential-GPCD moved a little higher than the regional <br />Residential-GPCD in the months of May and June 2017, but it is at the same level regionally <br />since January 2017. <br />Basin Groundwater Levels <br />Groundwater production continues to increase and as a result, groundwater levels are <br />decreasing; as expected for this time of year. However compared to last year, water levels are 9 <br />feet lower in Bunker Hill and 0.5 feet lower in the Riverside North Basin. Water levels in the <br />Rialto -Colton and Riverside South basins are relatively stable. <br />
