Dear Friends,
 
Here is the link for the board package link for our Regular Helix Water District Board Meeting: 

AGENDA
REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Wednesday, June 15, 2016 at 2 p.m.
7811 University Avenue, La Mesa, CA 91942-0427

Interesting items: 
Item 10 (pdf page 110) Adoption Resolution 16-23 Amending Drought Policy to LEVEL 1.On May 9, 2016, Governor Jerry Brown issued Executive Order 8-37-16, which directed the State Water Resources Control Board to make adjustments to the emergency water conservation regulations through January 2017. Effective June 1, 2016, the revised regulations allow individual or regional water suppliers to replace prior conservation standards with a localized, supply-based approach.

This leaves the district and all of SDCWA's member agencies with no projected shortfall after three years even after accounting for potential supply shortages on the Colorado River through 2019. Pending approval by the SWRCB of the self-certification documents, all of SDCWA's member agencies will have zero percent conservation standards effective June 1, 2016. Supporting documentation is due to the SWRCB by June 22, 2016.Thus, staff recommends that the board of directors adopt a resolution rescinding Drought Response Level 2 and adopting Drought Response Level 1, effective immediately.

There is no limit on the number of watering days per week.  

Apparently, we have not sent in documentation to SWRCB, we are waiting for information from SDCWA, however, our General Manager IS confident of SWRCB approval. 

Question of the day: do you plan on using more water now that the drought restrictions have been lifted? how much more 5% more, 10% more, or?
