plan to the TCEQ, City ofDallas, and State Planning Region. Section 34-177 of the Code of Ordinances is amended to read as follows: Section 34-177, Triggering criteria for initiation
and termination of drought response stages. The city purchases 100 percent of its potable water from the City of Dallas. Therefore, the emergency water management triggering measures
will be the same as those of the City of Dallas. Also, triggering criteria may be initiated as a result of short term deficiencies and or emergencies specific to the Town of Addison.
Following are the triggering criteria for initiation and termination of drought response stages: Stage Stage 1; Water Awareness Triggering criteria: Total raw water supply in connected
lakes drops below 55 percent of total conservation storage, demand exceeds 90 percent of deliverable capacity for three consecutive days, or short term deficiencies in distribution sys.tem
limit supply capability. Below are examples of the types of triggering criteria that might be used in a drought contingency plan. One or a combination of such criteria may be defined
for each drought response stage: Example 1: When, pursuant to requirements specified in the city wholesale water purchase contract with the City ofDallas, notification is received requesting
initiation of Stage 1 of the drought contingency plan. Example 2: Continually falling treated water reservoir levels which do not refill above 50 percent overnight (e.g., based on an
evaluation of minimum treated water storage required to avoid system outage). Goal for Use Reduction and Action Available under Stage 1, Water Awareness. OFFICE OF THE CITY SECRETARY

ofits potable water from the City ofDallas. Therefore, the emergency water management triggering measures will be the same as those ofthe City ofDallas. Also, triggering criteria may
be initiated as a result ofshort term deficiencies and or emergencies specific to the Town of Addison. Following are the triggering criteria for initiation and termination ofdrought
response stages: Stage 1: Water Awareness Triggering criteria: Total raw water supply in connected lakes drops below 55 percent of total conservation storage, demand exceeds 90 percent
ofdeliverable capacity for three consecutive days, or short term deficiencies in distribution system limit supply capability. Below are examples ofthe types oftriggering criteria that
might be used in a drought contingency plan. One or a combination ofsuch criteria may be defined for each drought response stage; &ample 1: When, pursuant to requirements specified in
the city wholesale water purchase contract with the City ofDallas, notification is received requesting initiation of Stage 1 of the drought contingency plan. &ample 2: Continually falling
treated water reservoir levels which do not refill above 50 percent overnight (e.g., based on an evaluation of minimum treated water storage required to avoid system outage). Aetieas

Therefore, it is vital to plan for the effect that droughts will have on the use, allocation and conservation ofwater in the state. Water utilities throughout Texas have enacted a variety
ofmeasures to reduce peak demands and to extend their water supplies. In some areas of the state, neighboring systems are coordinating their drought response measures. Because ofthe
range of conditions that affected the more than 4,000 . water utilities throughout the state in 1997, the Texas Legislature directed the TCEQ to adopt rules establishing connnon drought
plan requirements for water suppliers. As a result, the TCEQ requires all wholesale public water suppliers, retail public water suppliers serving 3,300 conoections or more, and irrigation
districts to submit drought contingency plans. The TCEQ requires retail public water suppliers serving less than 3,300 conoections to prepare and adopt a drought contingency plan and
to make the plan available upon request. New Requirements and Submittal Deadline The amended Title 30, Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 288 became effective on October 7,2004. The
revised Chapter 288 Rules require adopted drought contingency plans to be submitted to the TCEQ no later than May 1, 2005. Thereafter, the next revision ofthe drought contingency plans
for retail public water suppliers serving 3,300 or more conoections, wholesale public water suppliers, and irrigation districts must be submitted no later than May 1, 2009, and every
five years thereafter to coincide with the regional water planning group process. Any new or revised plans must be submitted to the TCEQ within 90 days htto:/Iwww.tnrcc.state.tx.u!l/nermittinp'/wnt"m

The city purchases 100 percent of its potable water from the City of Dallas. Therefore, the emergency water management triggering measures will be the same as those of the City of Dallas.
Also, triggering criteria may be initiated as a result of short term deficiencies and or emergencies specific to the Town of Addison. Following are the triggering criteria for initiation
and termination of drought response stages: Stage 1: Water Awareness Triggering criteria: Total raw water supply in connected lakes drops below 55 percent of total conservation storage,
demand exceeds 90 percent of deliverable capacity for three consecutive days, or short term deficiencies in distribution system limit supply capability. Below are examples of the types
of triggering criteria that might be used in a drought contingency plan. One or a combination of such criteria may be defined for each drought response stage: Example 1: When, pursuant
to requirements specified in the city wholesale water purchase contract with the City of Dallas, notification is received requesting initiation of Stage 1 of the drought contingency
plan. Example 2: Continually falling treated water reservoir levels which do not refill above 50 percent overnight (e.g., based on an evaluation of minimum treated water storage required
to avoid system outage). -i;'Aetiens a'.aHaele (sl'l'liea Ie all el::lsteFn9F8 as Resessary). • The city manager or deSignee requests voluot"ry reductions in water use. • Accelerate
public information efforts to teach and encourage reduced water use. • Staff will begin a review of the problems which initiated the Stage 1 actions. • Notify major water users and work
with them to achieve voluntary water use reduction. ily government use of water for street washing, vehicle washing, operation of• Prohibit http://library5.municode.comlgateway.dlllTXItexas/1954/2024

1, 2005 • Investor-Owned Utilities • What Contingency Plans Should hlclUde • Model Drought Contingency Plans Drought Contingency Drought is a frequent and inevitable factor in the climate
ofTexas. Therefore, it is vital to plan for the effect that droughts will have on the use, allocation and conservation ofwater in the state. Water utilities throughout Texas have enacted
a variety of measures to reduce peak demands and to extend their water supplies. In some areas of the state, neighboring systems are coordinating their drought response measures. Because
of the range of conditions that affected the more than 4,000 . water utilities throughout the state in 1997, the Texas LegislatUre directed the TCEQ to adopt rules establishing common
drought plan requirements for water suppliers. As a result, the TCEQ requires all wholesale public water suppliers, retail public water suppliers serving 3,300 connections or more, and
irrigation districts to submit drought contingency plans. The TCEQ requires retail public water suppliers serving less than 3,300 connections to prepare and adopt a drought contingency
plan and to make the plan available upon request. New Requirements and Submittal Deadline The amended Title 30, Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 288 became effective on October 7,
2004. The revised Chapter 288 Rules require adopted drought contingency plans to be submitted to the TCEQ no later than May 1,2005. Thereafter, the next revision ofthe drought contingency
plans for retail public water suppliers serving 3,300 or more connections, wholesale public water suppliers, and irrigation districts must be submitted no later than May 1, 2009, and
every five years thereafter to coincide with the regional water plamling group process. Any new or revised plans must be submitted to the TCEQ within 90 days 􀁨􀁴􀁴􀁯􀀻􀀯􀀯􀁷􀁷􀁷􀀮􀁴􀁮􀁲􀁣􀁣􀀮􀁳􀁴􀁡�

The city purchases 100 percent of its potable water from the City of Dallas. Therefore, the emergency water management triggering measures will be the same as those of the City of Dallas.
Also, triggering criteria may be initiated as a result of short term deficiencies and or emergencies specific to the Town of Addison. Following are the triggering criteria for initiation
and termination of drought response stages: Stage 1: Water Awareness Triggering criteria: Total raw water supply in connected lakes drops belOW 55 percent of total conservation storage,
demand exceeds 90 percent of deliverable capacity for three consecutive days, or short term deficiencies in distribution system limit supply capability. Below are examples of the types
of triggering criteria that might be used in a drought contingency plan. One or a combination of such criteria may be defined for each drought response stage: Example 1: When, pursuant
to requirements specified in the city wholesale water purchase contract with the City of Dallas, notification is received requesting initiation of Stage 1 of the drought contingency
plan. Example 2: Continually falling treated water reservoir levels which do not refill above 50 percent ovemight (e.g., based on an evaluation of minimum treated water storage required
to avoid system outage). Actions available (applied to all customers as necessary). • The city manager or designee requests vohmtslfY reductions in water use. • Accelerate public information
efforts to teach and encourage reduced water use. • Staff will begin a review of the problems which initiated the Stage 1 actions. . . • Notify major water users and work with them to
achieve voluntary water use reduction. • Prohibit city govemment use of water for street washing, vehicle washing, operation of

SECTIONl DROUGHT CONTINGENCY PLAN 1.0 Introduction ]n the summer of 1998, the City of Irving was significantly impacted by high water usage and implemented portioru; of its existing
Emergency Water Management Plan. The City was able to increase its purchase of treated water ftoin Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) ftoin 58.2 to 66.2 million galloru; per day. Irving continued
to pay for this increase until June 2003, when it began using the Lake Chapman water supply. While sufficient water supply was available from DWU during the summer of 1998, the City
experienced pressure and delivery problems in its own distribution system. The following steps to reduce water use were initiated: Residents were discouraged from planting new sod. Residents
were allowed to top off swimming pools, but not to empty, clean and fill pools. Watering days and restricted watering hoors were adopted. This application of the existing Emergency Water
Management Plan helped the City recover from the drought conditioru; during the summer of 1998. Citizen support was generally high for the water use restrictioru; that were imposed The
1998 drought undeIScored the critical importance of having a contingency plan to deal with droughts or other emergency conditioru;, which can impact the Irving water system. ]n 1997,
the Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill I to require most public water suppliers to prepare a Drought Contingency Plan. The Texas Natural Resouroe Conservation COIllIllission, now the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), amended its rules (Title 30, Texas Admittisttative Code, Chapter 288) regarding Drought Contingency Plans to reflect the Senate Bill
1 requirements. Irving was required to preparelupdate its Water Management Plan to meet these statutoIyrequirements, and submit the plan by September 1, 1999. Irving has again updated
its existing Emergency Water Management Plan (Drought Contingency Plan and Water Conservation Plan) to meet new statutory requirements, and submit the plan to the 1 Drought Contingency
Plan 
Requirements for Termination. Stage 1 ofthe Plan will be automatically rescinded on September 30 of each year, unless one or more ofthe triggering conditions listed above have ceased

voluntarily conserve water and voluntarily adhere to the following water use restrictions: (a) City govemment will schedule landscape watering so that a particular facility location
will be watered no more than two days per week. (b) City government will eliminate street washing (except when used water can be captured furreuse). (c) City government will reduce vehicle
wasbing, except when the water can be captured for reuse, or if the health, safety. and wellilre of the public is contingent upon frequent vehicle cleansing (such as garbage trucks and
vehicles used to transport food and perishables). (d) Other governmental agencies within the City's service area will be asked to comply with the voluntary water use restrictions under
a, b and c, above. (e) Review operations of ornamental fountains and any other non-essential use ofwater and try to minimize loss or excess use. (f) Recommend that landscaped areas be
