Background Every five (5) years the City is required to update the Community Water System Plan and submit it to the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR). The Plan has three (3) components: Water Supply, Water Conservation, and Drought Preparedness. The Community Water System Plan confirms that the City has reduced vulnerability to drought, and is prepared to respond to potential conditions of water shortage. This City Code amendment is consistent with the updated Community Water System Plan. Specific Code changes relate to personnel titles and numeric production values. "Environmental Services Director" has been changed to "Public Works Director" to reflect the current City organization. The numeric production values have been revised utilizing current production capacities (well pumps, booster pumps, transmissions mains). Consequently, the "safe production capability" has been increased from 9,300,000 to 12,030,000 gallons per day, and "total production capability" from 10,000,000 to 13,370,000 gallons per day. Financial There are no financial implications associated with this Code amendment. Attachment - Ordinance No. 4864-1402 Recommended Action: MOVE to Adopt Ordinance No. 4864-1402.
