W A T E R E N F R G V L T F F <br />RIVERSIDE PUBLIC UTILITIES <br />P U B L I C U T I L I T l t S Board Memorandum <br />BOARD OF PUBLIC UTILITIES DATE: JUNE 13, 2022 <br />SUBJECT: REVIEW AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STATE WATER RESOURCES <br />CONTROL BOARD'S EMERGENCY DROUGHT REGULATIONS <br />ISSUES: <br />Receive an update on the State Water Resources Control Board's Emergency Drought <br />Regulations and consider a recommendation to City Council for implementation for compliance <br />with such regulations. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />That the Board of Public Utilities provide a recommendation to the City Council regarding <br />implementation of actions to comply with the State Water Resources Control Board's emergency <br />drought regulations. <br />LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: <br />Drought Timeline from 2014-2022: <br />• 2014 — Governor Brown declared a State of Emergency due to drought. <br />• July 2014 — The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) adopted Resolution No. <br />2014-0038, which added to the Board's regulations through the emergency rulemaking <br />process, requirements for monthly reporting of urban water use (now permanent reporting) <br />and prohibiting certain wasteful water use practices during the drought. <br />• 2015 — Governor Brown signed Executive Order mandating statewide cutbacks on urban <br />water use. <br />• April 2017 — Governor Brown signed Executive Order B-40-17, rescinding the drought <br />emergency declaration while retaining prohibitions on wasteful water use practices. These <br />expired at a State level in November 2017, but Council has made the prohibitions on <br />wasteful water use permanent as part of the City's Water Conservation Ordinance. <br />• 2019 — Drought conditions return and are further exacerbated in 2021. <br />• July 2021 — Governor Newsom declared a drought emergency and issued Executive Order <br />N-10-21 urging residents to voluntarily reduce water usage by 15% comparing monthly use <br />to the same month in 2020. <br />
