P.O. Box 221890 Hollywood, FL 33022-1890 WATER CONSERVATION PLAN CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA PART 1 General Information A. Name of Water Utility City of Dania Beach, Florida 100 West Dania Beach Blvd. Dania Beach, FL 33004 B. Permit Information Current permit: No. 06-00187-W-Renewal from South Florida Water Management District C. Contact Persons: Dominic F. Orlando, P.E. Public Services Director City of Dania Beach, Florida 100 West Dania Beach Blvd. Dania Beach, FL 33004 Consultant: Frederick Bloetscher, Ph.D., P.E., President Public Utility Management and Planning Service, Inc. P.O. Box 221890 Hollywood, FL 3 3 022-1 890 D. Utility Composition: The City of Dania Beach is located on the coast of southeastern Broward County. The City of Dania Beach was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida in 1904. The City has recently annexed several large areas and doubled its area to nearly 6 square miles, and increased its population to nearly 30,000 people, from 13,700 persons in 1995. The community is primarily residential. Small concentrations of light industry, shopping, offices and some beachfront property exist within the corporate limits. A small industrial sector was added in the most recent annexation, but none of the industries would be considered "intensive." Much of the annexed area is served with water and sewer by Broward County. 2 The City operates the water and wastewater utility systems within the City. The initial water system has grown to where over 4600 connections exist within the City limits. The wastewater system has been served with central sewer since the 1940s, with treatment by the City of Hollywood at their current 42 MGD facility. The City of Dania Beach currently owns and operates two wells and one water treatment plant. The current treatment facility provides water that meets all current State and Federal drinking water standards. The current wells supply adequate water supply, but the South Florida Water Management District indicates that saltwater intrusion affects these wells and may cause them to become unusable in the near future. The City has an agreement with the County for raw water supplies,but the current treatment plan cannot adequately treat this water. The City also owns and operates a water distribution system and sewer collection system. There are some pressure deficiencies in the current water distribution piping system and some old lines that need replacement. Infiltration and inflow are ongoing on the sewer system. Infiltration and inflow are important because the City of Dania Beach is one of six surrounding municipalities that send their wastewater to the City of Hollywood under a Large User partnership agreement that originated in the 1970's, and most recently updated in 1991 and 1997. The other municipalities are: • Pembroke Pines • Broward County • Miramar • Pembroke Park • Hallandale Beach These neighboring communities account for nearly 60% of the wastewater flows to the plant. Therefore increases in flow causes the cost to increase for the City. The annexed area west of Anglers Avenue (Ravenswood Road) was an unsewered area, but Broward County is in the process of installing sewers, and replacing water lines including installation of fire hydrants for fire protection(the customers will be County customers). PART 2 WATER CONSERVATION INFORMATION 1. MANDATORY ELEMENTS FOR WATER CONSERVATION PLAN Chapter 373.227 of the Florida Statute states that all public water supply utilities applying for an individual permit are required to develop and implement a Water Conservation Plan (WCP). This document results from a template provided by the South Florida Water Management District from which municipalities can use to develop their own WCP. Section 2.6.1 of the District's Basis of Review for Water Use Applications(BOR) states that: "All water supply utilities applying for an individual permit are required to develop and implement a water conservation plan. The water conservation elements of each plan need to be identified as part of the application. A timetable outlining the implementation schedule of each of the required (minimum) water conservation elements will be required to be submitted or shown to already exist prior to issuance or renewal of a public water supply water use permit." 3 This document provides the basic framework for a WCP to support the above requirement which is part of a permittee's Consumptive Use Permit (CUP). The WCP documents and quantifies the conservation planning efforts as stipulated in their Consumptive Use Permit's Limiting Conditions which are re-evaluated during the five-year compliance audit. It is recommended the WCP be reviewed periodically and updated as needed to ensure efficient water use for the duration of the permit. The City last updated its Water Conservation Plan in 2006 when it applied for renewal of its water use permit. An acceptable water conservation plan contains the following elements: A. Permanent Irrigation Ordinance B. Xeriscape Landscape Ordinance C. Plumbing Fixture Ordinance D. Water Conservation Rate Structure E. Leak Detection F. Public Education Program G. Reuse of Wastewater H. Feasibility of making Reclaimed Water Available Each of these issues will be addressed in the order above and summarized on a table. PART 3 WATER CONSERVATION PLAN ELEMENTS A. Permanent Irrigation Ordinance: An acceptable water conservation plan must contain provisions for implementing non-agricultural landscape irrigation rules or ordinances. The District recommends the non-agricultural irrigation be limited to the hours of 4:00 p.m. and 10:00 a.m. 1. Has the utility or the local government jurisdiction over the utility's services area adopted or recommended any permanent irrigation rules of ordinances designed to reduce outdoor water use? RESPONSE - Yes. The City has adopted an ordinance to restrict water use during water shortages. The City is currently adopting the following ordinance change to Section 27- 37 (a copy is attached as Appendix "B"and it states the following: Section 1. That Section 27-37, entitled "Permeant Restrictions for Lawn and Landscaping Irrigation" of Chapter 27, "Water and Sewer", is repealed and in its place, a new Section 27-37 is created to read as follows: WATER CONSERVATION RESTRICTIONS FOR LANDSCAPE IRRIGATION (a) INTENT AND PURPOSE It is the intent and purpose of this Section to implement procedures that promote water conservation through the more efficient use of landscape irrigation. 4 (b) DEFINITIONS For the purpose of this Section the following terms, phrases, words, and their derivatives shall have the meaning given below.

Irrigation of the new landscaping is limited to areas containing the new landscaping only. An entire zone of an irrigation system shall only be utilized for landscape irrigation under this paragraph if the zone in question is for an area that contains at least 50% new landscaping. If a zone contains less than 50% new landscaping, or if the new landscaping is in an area that will not typically be irrigated by an irrigation system, only the individual new plantings are eligible for additional irrigation under this paragraph. Targeted watering may be 7 accomplished b low volume hand p y watering, or any appropriate method which isolates and waters only the new landscaping. (3) Landscape irrigation systems may be operated during restricted days and times for cleaning, maintenance, and repair purposes with an attendant on site in the area being tested. Landscape irrigation systems may routinely be operated for such purposes no more than once per week, and the run time for any one test should not exceed 10 minutes per zone. (4) Landscape irrigation for the purpose of watering-in fertilizers, insecticides, pesticides, fungicides and herbicides, where such watering-in is recommended by the manufacturer, or by federal, state or local law, or best management practices, shall be allowed under the following conditions: i.

Each day in violation of this Section shall constitute a separate offense. Enforcement officials may provide violators with no more than one written warning. In addition to the civil penalties, the City may take any other appropriate legal action, including but not limited to injunctive action to enforce the provisions of this Section. B. Xeriscave (Florida Friendly) Landscape Ordinance: An acceptable water conservation plan must contain provisions for implementing non-agricultural xeriscape landscape irrigation ordinance. The District has developed a model landscape code to assist utilities in this effort. An acceptable xeriscape ordinance is one that meets the "Level Two" standards contained in the District's model code. 1. Has the utility or the local government jurisdiction over the utility's services area adopted a xeriscape ordinance? RESPONSE - The City enforces Chapter 91-68, Florida Statutes regarding xeriscape (Florida Friendly) landscaping. The City's enforces this law via its landscape architect review process. The City's building inspectors are responsible for verifying the law is adhered to. The City is in the process of adopting its own Florida Friendly Landscape Ordinance (a copy is attached as Appendix"C"). In addition the following modifications to the City's landscape ordinance are planned for this spring: § 26-55 Native Vegetation. (A) Where a new development, redevelopment or replacement irrigation system is planned, the use of Florida Friendly plants may preclude the need for installation of an irrigation system per 26-46(l 1) and Section 26-53 of the Code of Ordinances. Where such a system is planned, the landscape architect shall certify the use of native species that do 10 not require supplemental irrigation. For such plantings an irrigation system shall not be required. (B) All new developments shall consider the use of a xeriscape landscaping system. The use of Florida Friendly plants precludes the need for irrigation systems. (C) Irrigation plans may include the use of cisterns or other rainfall recapture technology that precludes the use of wells or potable water. All such plans must be certified by a landscape architect licensed in the State of Florida. In addition, the City is in the process of adopting the "Level Two" standards contained in the District's model code. C. Plumbing Fixture Ordinance: An acceptable Water Conservation Plan must contain provisions for adopting ultra-low flow volume plumbing fixtures. Ultra-low volume standards are no greater than 1.6 gallons per flush for toilets, 2.5 gallons per minute for showerheads and 2 gallons per minute for faucets at 80 psi. 1. Has the utility or the local government jurisdiction over the utility's services area adopted plumbing standards that are at least this efficient? RESPONSE - The City enforces the Florida Building Code — Plumbing Section which requires the installation of plumbing fixtures which meet the above requirements. The City's building inspectors are responsible for verifying the law is adhered to. (See Appendix "D"attached to this Plan). The City is in the process of adopting the following an ordinance change to its land development regulations to reinforce this issue. Sec. 27-29.1 Plumbing Fixtures. All new construction, including all new remodeling of buildings and homes, must use plumbing fixtures which must meet the following requirements: toilets shall have an ultra-low flush volume approved by USEPAs WaterSense program that is no greater than 1.28 gallons per flush, urinals no greater than 0.5 gallons per flush, and 2.0 gallons per minute for showerheads and 1.5 gallons per minute for faucets at 60 psi. D. Rain Sensors Ordinance: An acceptable Water Conservation Plan must consider the installation of rain sensors. 1. Has the utility or the local government jurisdiction over the utility's services area considered installation of rain sensors? 11 RESPONSE — No, but the City is in the process of adopting the following ordinance change to its land development regulations to reinforce this issue. All City Facilities' irrigation systems have rain sensors (a copy is attached as Appendix "C"). Sec. 26-56 Rain Sensors. All new irrigation systems shall include the installation of rain sensors. Since the majority of City residents get their irrigation water from wells, initially this will not be useful for the utility in reducing water demands on the utility system. E. Water Conservation Rate Structure: An acceptable Water Conservation Plan must contain provisions for adoption of a rate structure that promotes water conservation. 1. Has the utility or the local government jurisdiction over the utility's services area adopted a xeriscape ordinance? Please describe the utility's current rate structure RESPONSE - Yes. The City has long had in place, a water conservation rate structure that penalized residents using in excess of 10,000 gallons per month. The typical single family use in Dania Beach is less than 6,000 gallon per month, or 300 gpd/ERU. Current water rates are designed to promote water conservation: The following pages are the most recent resolutions for water and sewer rates that demonstrate this inverted block conservation structure. This rate system have been used at least since the 2001 water use permit, but we are not able to determine the first time such a rate structure was used by the City. 12 RESOLUTION NO.2008-155 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH, FLORIDA, SETTING MONTHLY CHARGES FOR WATER SERVICES FOR RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL USERS; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. WHEREAS,the consultant engaged by the City, Public Resources Management Group, Inc., has performed an analysis and study of the City's water and sewer rate structure and has recommended to the City Commission a rate increase to fund water services, debt service and future capital improvements;and WHEREAS, the City Commission has determined that the level of rates necessary to meet the expenditure requirements of the utility system and to equitably allocate the cost of services to all custorners necessitates adjustments to the monthly charges for water services; NOW THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH,FLORIDA: Section 1. That as provided for in Section 27-24 (a) of Chapter 27 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Dania Beach, which Section is entitled "Rates and Charges for Consumption of Water", and which provides that the City Comnission will establish a rate structure from time to time, the Commission adopts the rate structure as per Appendix "A", a copy of which is attached and incorporated by this reference,effective for the Fiscal Years 2008- 2009 through 2010-2011,beginning effective as of October 1,2008. Section 2• That all resolutions or parts of resolutions in conflict with this Resolution are repealed to the extent of such conflict. 13 Section 3. That this resolution shall be in force and take effect on its adoption. PASSED AND ADOPTED on September 9,2008.

RESPONSE —All expectations are yes. The rates were implemented some time ago and data is not available to characterize this change. However, straight irrigation rates are 40% higher than potable water which discourages this use. The average customer uses less than 6,000 gallons per month. Most irrigation use is via private wells, not potable water, which would further indicate that water costs have pushed people away from potable water for irrigation usage. F. Public Education Program: An acceptable Water Conservation Plan must contain provisions for implementing of a public education program promoting water conservation. In order to satisfy this requirement, the Public Information Program "PIP" must reach all customers at "least monthly during each dry season (November to May)." The program should focus on water efficient landscaping practices and efficient use of water indoors. 1. Does the utility have a public information program promoting water conservation? RESPONSE - Yes. The City does the following: 1) Use its monthly water bills to provide information to its customers on water conservation issues, including restrictions; 2) Provide distribution areas for water conservation pamphlets produced by the District; 3) City irrigation systems on timers and have rain sensors; 4) Supports the Naturescape Program managed by Broward County Environmental Protection and Growth Management Department. Note: Dania Beach summary - over 9 million gallons of Actual Water Savings (AWS); 5) Dye kits available to residents to test for leaks in toilet; 6) Water Conservation Rulers located at City Facilities for distribution; 7) Code Compliance enforce water restrictions; and 8) Provides speakers to homeowner's groups upon request. Note the City's program is year round as opposed to "least monthly during each dry season (November to May)" as noted in the District's Water Conservation template. The City will use the SFWMD FACTS Sheet to help guide its water conservation efforts (see the following page) 20 Mach 2010 Base of Re for Water Use App&mfiex Water Ct xgTaboa Plm Regture>aeats Atf puWfc xm mggply m cocars egg o d$m gagams per lc'(MGD)kwao d wmhm dw Somok Flwfda Warns Edmsgmmt Ddmfar appbwfar as hdivk*d veneer are pmdt arm ra4ma lid a d•wlop teed mgAnaeu a xwwr cuaeswwdmrpdar tWoz). 77m Banc 4f rsgsne+es�J�'ag o4lo Y derma ba wcfrdad ie tke ptmr: 1.

G. Leak Detection: An acceptable Water Conservation Plan for all utilities with unaccounted for water greater than 10% must include a leak detection program. The leak detection program must include water auditing procedure, leak repair and leak detection efforts. 1. Does the utility or the local government jurisdiction over the utility's services have a leak detection program or is it at least this efficient? RESPONSE - No. Historically the City's water distribution system has remained fairly tight. The Plant Operator will call the Utility Supervisor when a change in demand occurs for extended duration to check for leaks. Unaccounted for water has been well below Ten percent (10%) as noted in the table below from 2008 to date, so a leak detection program is not required.

(5.7" rainfall in Feb.). Sprinklers run extensively. The City has replaced its leaky galvanized lines throughout the City as well as all galvanized services. The City has upgraded the looping of the system and is in the process of spending over $6 million to improve the distribution system.

Reuse of Wastewater: An acceptable Water Conservation Plan must consider the use of reclaimed wastewater to augment water demands. 1. Please identify all wastewater treatment facilities that provide service within the water utility's service areas, describe their relationship to the water utility and give their location(s). 23 RESPONSE—The City of Hollywood provides wastewater treatment services to the City of Dania Beach's service area. Effluent reuse is of substantial benefit to the area for a number of reasons, the most important of which is the reduction of competing water withdrawals from the surficial aquifer system by the application of the reclaimed water. The drainage system has lowered the water table, causing saltwater intrusion to occur. Carefully designed applications of effluent to critical areas of the surficial aquifer could protect and maintain freshwater sources. However, the City must rely on the City of Hollywood for reclaimed water, as the City has no treatment plant of its own. To date, the City of Hollywood has not had facilities or water quantity to extend reclaimed water to the City of Dania Beach. This situation could change if the City of Hollywood extends reclaimed water to Port Everglades or the Florida Power & Lighting Facility in Dania Beach north of Griffin Road. The City has discussed the use of reclaimed water with the City of Hollywood. Further discussions to determine feasibility and plan for implementation will be scheduled. 2. Is any of the wastewater effluent from the above facility currently being reclaimed for beneficial use? RESPONSE — Yes — the City of Hollywood irrigates 6 golf courses with in its City with reclaimed water. There are no sites in Dania Beach that are irrigated. Discussions already took place with the City of Hollywood of the possibility to extend service north across Sheridan Street to the City of Dania Beach to provide irrigation water to serve the new Linear Park along SE 5t' Avenue from Sheridan Street to Dania Beach Blvd., Frost Park north of Dania Beach Blvd. and both Cemeteries at Dixie Highway. Hollywood would need to address infrastructure (piping distribution system) from their existing system north to Sheridan Street. Dania Beach would need to provide piping system from Sheridan Street to facilities in Dania Beach. PART 4. ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS FOR WATER CONSERVATION PLAN An acceptable Water Conservation Plan must contain provisions for implementing any of the following conservation measures that are determined to be cost effective: A. Filter Backwash Water Recycling 1. Does the utility currently recycle filter backwash water? RESPONSE - Yes. 100 percent is recycled. The City is proposing to construct a clarifier to recycle 50,000 to 100,000 gpd of water presently wasted from the lime sludge waste process. The design is 90% complete. B. Pressure Control 1. Please describe the utility's distribution system pressure control capabilities. RESPONSE — A new high service pumping station with variable frequency drives was completed in 2008. Five high service pumps are used to keep the water in the distribution system at a desirable pressure of 65 psi. The new high service pumping capacity is rated at 24 9 MGD. The City has full capability to modify pressure to reduce the use of water and has done so in the past. C. Metering 1. Please describe the location of raw water meters and the percent of raw water currently metered. RESPONSE — Both of the City's existing wells (G&H) have meters in the wellhouse buildings. All raw water from the wells is metered. Broward County also meters its raw water supply to the City and bills the City for the same. 2. Please describe the location of finished water meters and the percent of finished water currently metered. RESPONSE — The City had a new venturi meter installed as a part of the 2008 upgrades to measure the finished water being pumped out of the plant. 3. Please list the types of uses that are metered. RESPONSE — Irrigation, single family residential, multi-family residential, commercial, government, and industrial users are metered. All water use on the system is metered except water used by the Fire Department to fight fires. Also, water to flush distribution system annually or as necessary is not metered. Over the past several months (January through March 2010) the City noted higher than normal unaccounted for water. It was learned that there were two contributing factors. The first is the new irrigation system in medians and at the new public services compound were installed without meters. Meters will be installed in the near future to resolve this problem. The second factor and a bigger issue is that on Taylor Road, there is only 1 customer on a dead-end 8 inch main. The system is flushed daily. Crews were dispatched to measure flows which were 800 gpm for a couple of hours. A better solution in the form of an automatic blow off will be installed to reduce water loss. A meter will be investigated as well to track flows. 4. Please list types of uses not metered. RESPONSE—Fire flows. 5. If all finished water is not metered, please evaluate the feasibility of metering all uses. RESPONSE—Fire hydrants do not come with meters. It would seem imprudent to delay fire fighting or reduce the water volume and/or pressure to put a meter on a fire hydrant. These uses are less than 1% of the system. Given the types of flows (high) the meter accuracy will be suspect anyway. 25 6. Does the utility currently have a meter calibration and replacement program? RESPONSE —Yes. A certain portion of the meters are replaced each year. Plant meters are calibrated annually, and large meters are calibrated bi-annually. The City is evaluating a City-wide Automatic Meter Reader (AMR) system that would replace all current meters. D. Indoor plumbing fixture programs. 1. Has the utility or the local government jurisdiction over the utility's services area ever distributed devices designed to reduce water consumption by indoor fixtures? RESPONSE — Not to any current employee's knowledge. The City has not distributed any such devices. The City currently lacks resources to implement such a program and given the amount of construction/retrofitting going on, it is likely that the building codes will address this issue. The City would consider such a program in the future if demands dictate. Water use is down 15 % from 2005 levels as a result of restrictions and its water conservation messages. 2. Has the utility or the local government jurisdiction over the utility's services area ever offered incentives to customers for installation of low-flow plumbing fixtures? RESPONSE — No. The City would consider such a program in the future if demands dictate. 3. Has the utility or the local government jurisdiction over the utility's services area ever provided indoor water audits for customers in order to reduce water waste? RESPONSE — No. The City would consider such a program in the future if demands dictate. The City has neither the appropriate staffing for this type of labor-intensive work, nor the funds to perform the same. E. Efficient Landscape Irrigation Programs. 1. Are their any xeriscape landscape demonstration sites within the utility's jurisdiction? RESPONSE — No. The City would consider such a program in the future if demands dictate. The City is changing its irrigation ordinance to permit such a demonstration at its water plant site. There are several sites in Broward County that would provide demonstrations. 2. Has the utility or the local government jurisdiction over the utility's services area ever provided irrigation system water audits or calibration services to its customers in order to reduce outdoor water use? 26 RESPONSE — No. The City would consider such a program in the future if demands dictate. 3. Has the utility or the local government jurisdiction over the utility's services area ever offered incentives to customers for installation of water efficient landscaping and/or irrigation systems? RESPONSE — No. The City would consider such a program in the future if demands dictate. PART 5 ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS FOR WATER CONSERVATION PLAN A. Identification of Limiting Conditions of the Permit Identify any consumptive use permit limiting conditions that pertain to water conservation, alternative water supply development and milestones, or that could affect the gpcd of a utility served area. Limiting Condition#27. Conservation has been identified as an important factor in meeting the City's long term water supply demands. 1. By July 15, 2010, the City shall submit a revised Water Conservation Plan to the SFWMD for approval. A timetable outlining the implementation schedule of each of the required (minimum) water conservation elements as described in the Basis of Review will be required to be submitted or shown to already exist; 2. The revised Water Conservation Plan shall provide a conservation goal with specific measures or water supply alternatives to meet projected demands (Exhibit 10—Table G) The City may use in whole or in part,the Conserve Florida Water Conservation EZ Guide; 2. The revised Water Conservation Plan shall include a full implementation schedule and estimated budged for the permit duration; 3. In the event the SFWMD has any comments and/or concerns about the revised Water Conservation Plan, the City shall address the SFWMD's comments and/or concerns though modifications of the revised Water Conservation Plan within 30 days of receipt of the same; 4. The City shall submit an annual report covering water conservation activities during the prior calendar year by March 15th of each year. The annual report shall describe water conservation activities for the year, expenditures, project undertaken, and the estimated water savings resulting from such activities and/or projects; and 27 5. If the revised Water Conservation Plan fails to meet the water conservation goal(s) by the timefiames specified herein, the City shall revise the plan to address the deficiency. B. Statement of Current Gallons per Capita per Day (gpcd) State the current finished water per capita use rate as calculated in the CUP application (Table F), and as adopted in the local government's Comprehensive Plan Amendment's 10 Year Facility Work Plan. The current water use permit identified 148 gpcd as the water use for the City, with past years over 160 gpcd. The City has worked with residents to limit irrigation in accordance with District rules and has modified pumping operations in kind. The result is that the City has reduced per capita use below 140 gpcd over the past three years. 140 gpcd is the City's goal moving forward and is the estimates used to support ongoing efforts to project water demands (realizing that a portion of this demand is the commercial sector), although currently the per capital amount is approximately 122 gpcd as a result of ongoing water restrictions. The City has data on residential use divided into single-family residential use and multi-family residential use and other metered uses — includes all uses (commercial, industrial) other than residential accounted for by meter as shown below. Single Family 3539 3539 158 4787 70 Multi-Family 322 4166 134 134 67 Other(commercial, 596 unk 979 2270 n/a Industrial) Sprinklers 70 70 200 6000 n/a What this table shows it that the average single family home uses under 4800 gallons per month. With approximately 2.24 people per household for single family, and 2 per multi-family, this means the average resident is using approximately 70 gpcd of water, which is the minimum water use per person that can be achieved without changes to indoor plumbing of approximately 70 gpcd. The City used the EZ Guide v 1 to evaluate water saving ideas. As with Broward County, the EZ guide information indicates only two significant areas to achieve water saving; one way is irrigation and the other being toilets, because the water use is within expectations of a mixed residential and commercial community. The improvements discussed earlier in this Plan outline a means to achieve irrigation reductions, including not requiring irrigation systems (as the current Code does), use of Florida Friendly plants, automatic sprinklers and moisture detectors and one day a week watering. If these issues are not effective in maintaining water use below 140 gpcd, then toilet retrofits become the next alternative. Given how new construction and 28 revisions to plumbing systems will need to meet the revised plumbing standards, it is expected that many toilets will have been replaced by year 2030. The EZ Guide was prepared for the City of Dania Beach. There were no issues that were cost effective. No residential units are candidates to significant improvements without indoor toilet changes. The City anticipates looking at this in year 2030. The sprinkler sector is being addressed with the ordinance changes noted above. Using 140 gpcd, the City anticipates that with current efforts with Broward County's regional wells, the City will be able to meet demands for the foreseeable future. In year 2030, the City will need additional water. While the City will be actively seeking additional water sources, part of this water may come from additional conservation efforts. The City has used the results of the Broward County water use profile (and the same personnel) to look at the City's water use. When the 2010 census data is in, the City will be able to-evaluate this further, and will have a better means to evaluate how efficient the commercial sector actually is, since much of the growth projections for the City focus on commercial water use increases (because the expectation is that the City's economy will grow). It should be noted that District rules require all public water supply applicants for an individual or general permit that has a per capita use rate of greater than 200 gpcd identify water demand by user group. The City does not fall under this requirement. The City's use is under 150 PCUR, so this information is not required by District rules, even though the City has attempted to generate this data. Table F—Past Water Usage Total Year Population Pumped Water Fr Use Total Broward Water Co PCUR 2005 15477 1.21 0.93 2.14 138 2006 15889 1.65 0.97 2.62 165 2007 16300 1.14 1.01 2.15 132 2008 16317 1.17 0.96 2.15 132 2009 16443 1.1 1.1 2.16 132 Table F outlines the water use from 2005-2009. Table G outlines the projected permits for the life of the permit. The average use was 139.7 GPUR. Going forward the City estimates usage to decrease with time as a result of redevelopment that converts usage primarily toward multi- family, lower occupancy units (see Table H).

Permittee's Conservation Goals Objective V- The City shall implement water conservation Policy 5.1 Develop and maintain an accurate database of water consumption to reduce municipal water waste — all services in the City are metered, including all irrigation services. Policy 5.2 Remodeling of buildings requires that new fixtures meet the Florida Building Code—Plumbing requirements which require low flow fixtures. Policy 5.3 The City will amend its land development regulations to promote Florida Friendly landscaping. Policy 5.4 The City will continue its public information and education programs — the City has SFWMD brochures on water conservation and Florida Friendly Landscaping available for the public (on display). Policy 5.5 The City will continue its water conservation rate structure that penalizes residents using in excess of 10,000 gallons per month. The typical single family use in Dania Beach is less than 6,000 gallons per month. The average residential customer uses 70 gpcd. Policy 5.6 The City will amend its Land Development Code to provide for Florida Conserve Guidelines as a part of its long-range water conservation plan. Policy 5.7 The City will amend its Land Development Code to provide for the use of rain sensors for new and retrofit of irrigation systems. Policy 5.8 The City will develop a program to recalibrate large meters every two years and plant meters annually. The City changes out a number of older meters each year depending on the age (prior change outs were not recorded). It should be noted that the City has voluntarily agreed to limit residential irrigation watering to 1 day a week following SFWMD guidelines and will enforce these under present Code. D. Progress of Policy Implementation Identifying progress towards the fulfillment of each policy identified in Part 1 is crucial to ensure the Permittee's goal is achieved. This section is supported by any documentation for policy implementation. For each policy, the Permittee will indicate the anticipated start and end dates and indicate if completion has been achieved. For all completed policy items, final products and 31 relevant documents (such as ordinances) are required to be attached to the Water Conservation Plan. Figures for all quantifiable items should be provided.

Water Use: Water conservation goals can be expressed in reductions of gpcd over time. This can occur even as populations increase particularly when water conservation measures are implemented; provided that the gpcd goals and population projections for the years coincide with the current permit or renewal (Tables F & G) in Table 2. Population projections presented in this table should also be consistent with those stated in the local government's Comprehensive Plan Amendment's 10-Year Facility Work Plan. Section 2.6.3 and 2.6.5 of the Basis of Review (BOR) support the request of gpcd and population data for the served area. Ongoing efforts with pressure, improved efforts at the plant, and ongoing publicity about water restrictions have lowered the demands of residents. In keeping with the proposed ordinance changes, and proposed land use changes for the future, the City expects that demand will not increase. It is too early to tell if demands will fall if there are significant population shifts. Efforts to evaluate commercial water usage are ongoing. The major residential water conservation solution that would benefit the City appears to be a toilet replacement program that could be evaluated in the future (shown 2030 but could be moved as needs dictate). The City does not anticipate the need to do this in the upcoming planning period. Table 2. Goals for gpcd and population projections over the permit period cd 140 140 140 140 Population 20054 22869 24192 24801 Total Finished 2.8 3.2 3.4 3.5 Water demand (gpcd x 0 Notes: 1)gpcd calculated as follows:Total Annual Use(MG)/365 days):the result is than divided by served area population 2)Total Finished Water should be consistent with figures reported in Table G(`Total Annual Use(MG)'column)unless expected savings from implementing water conservation goals were not included in these amounts F. Quantifiable Water Conservation Measures A Permittee must identify what current and future quantifiable water conservation measures (i.e. Toilet rebate programs, automatic line flushing device installations, etc.) that have been implemented or will be implemented in the future. In Table 3, list each quantifiable water 36 conservation measure by user group, the planned number of units that are expected to be completed by the years identified below(coincide with permit compliance reporting periods) and estimates of gallons saved (in million gallons per year) per measure. The City's per capital water use goal is 140 gpcd. The City's single family average monthly use is less than 6000 gallons per month. The City complies with both of these goals at this time. The City has identified irrigation and toilet retrofits as the most useful conservation programs. Much of the current effort has been on the former. The toilet will likely resolve themselves with the new plumbing requirements. If not, toilet retrofit programs can be initiated, but water needs are not expected to trigger this need until 2030 (see prior discussion). The estimate of gallons saved is unknown at this time, the impact of future commercial development since the commercial sector is part of the 140 gpcd. If a major commercial opportunity arises that demands significant water use, such a user will increase the apparent per capita water use of the City. The City will need to reevaluate both its water conservation goals and its demands, should such an opportunity arise. Table 3.

The City does not anticipate the need to progress to this step in the coming planning period. G. Alternative Water Supply Planning In Table 4, please indicate all constructed or planned alternative water supply projects (non- traditional water sources, reuse of wastewater, storage, wet season water capture) and the volume of water made available as finished water as detailed in the current consumptive use permit and the adopted Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Table 4. Alternative Water Supply Projects. Infiltration gallery/Well Min. 1.2 MGD 2010 2018 37 * Use the same name as listed in the CUP, Comp. Plan and the Regional Water Supply Plan. H. Permit Application Tables E,F, G,H and I. Bulk sales and purchase of raw and finished water, large water users, as well as current and future population growth can affect the gpcd of a utility service area. Tables E, F, G, H and I will help identify a utility's total demand and commitments. Please attach updated tables as appendices to this Plan. Notes: Table H Per Section 2.6.2 of the BOR requires all public water supply applicants for an individual or general permit that has a Per Capita Use Rate of >200 identify water demand by user group. While the permitted Per Capita Use Rate may be < 200, this breakout of information is very useful for the purpose of developing a conservation plan. These include: • Residential Use — divided into single-family residential use and multi-family residential use; and • Other metered uses — includes all uses (commercial, industrial,) other than residential accounted for by meter.
