4. REPORTS FROM COUNCILMEMBERS (Continued)
Orange County has met the challenge of informed water management over
a period of many years by its program of underground water
replenishment. Orange has supported and participated in this Orange
County Water District program.
In time of drought, the city of Orange has moved into voluntary
conservation programs. During the drought of the 1970's, the city
initiated a voluntary 15% conservation program, supplemented by an
incentive/surcharge water rate. In May, 1990 the city Council again
approved a voluntary water conservation program through Resolution
7563.
Our City has had an excellent reputation for its water policies,
unlike some other cities in Orange County which are in a drastic
situation because of lack of planning for water facilities. However,
no one knows how long this drought will last. Therefore, it is
recommended that the City Council schedule a Study Session to address
our water conservation policy (as contained in Resolution 7563) and
make a determination as to when the next phase of the policy should
kick in.
The public has asked if the City will make available Home
Conservation Kits, which have been offered in the past. Other
suggestions are informational program for homeowners, and public
television programs. Drought has become a way of life in Southern
California and the public needs to be educated on ways to conserve.
City Council should decide which programs it wants to implement and
direct staff to prepare programs for approval in these areas.
The City also needs to educate the prime users in the community,
schools, hospitals, businesses and industry) and provide leadership
in the use of this precious resource.
