I. OBJECTIVES
Having a dependable water supply has been a key issue in economic and land development in
Texas. The growing population and economic expansion occurring in North Central Texas are
placing increased demands on our water supplies. In order to meet the challenge of providing for
our current and future needs we must learn to use more efficiently the water we already have. By
stretching our existing supplies we can delay the need for new supplies, minimize the environmental
impacts associated with developing new water resources, and postpone the high cost of building the
infrastructure (dams, treatment facilities, and pipelines) necessary to capture, treat, and transport the
additional water into our homes and businesses.
The objectives of this water conservation plan are as follows:
To reduce water consumption from the levels that would prevail without conservation
efforts.
To reduce the loss and waste of water.
■ To improve efficiency in the use of water.
To document the level of recycling and reuse in the water supply.
To extend the life of current water supplies by reducing the rate of growth in demand.
The water conservation plan presented in this document is a model water conservation plan
intended for adoption by wholesale or retail public water suppliers in Region C. This model plan
includes all the elements required by TCEQ.
II. TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY RULES
II -I. Conservation Plans
The TCEQ rules governing development of water conservation plans for public water suppliers are
contained in Title 30, Part 1, Chapter 288, Subchapter A, Rule 288.2 of the Texas Administrative
Code which is included in Appendix B. For the purpose of these rules, a water conservation plan is
defined as "A strategy or combination of strategies for reducing the volume of water withdrawn
from a water supply source, for reducing the loss or waste of water, for maintaining or improving
the efficiency in the use of water, for increasing the recycling and reuse of water, and for preventing
the pollution of waters." The elements in the TCEQ water conservation rules covered in this
conservation plan are listed below.

III. WATER UTILITY PROFILE
Appendix C to this water conservation plan is the water utility profile based on the format
recommended by TCEQ. The information provided was obtained from monthly Utility Billing.
Well Production, and Trinity River Authority Water Delivery reports as well as information and
estimates provided by the North Central Texas Council of Governments. The data in the report is
based on water use for calendar years.
IV. SPECIFICATION OF GOALS
Current TCEQ rules require the adoption of specific water conservation goals for a water
conservation plan. As part of the plan adoption, 5 -year and 10 -year goals for per capita municipal
use, following TCEQ procedures described in the water utility profile (Appendix C) have been
developed. The goals for this water conservation plan include the following:
Strive to attain the per capita municipal water use below the specified amount in gallons per
capita per day shown on the completed Excel spreadsheet using a 5 -year rolling average
calculation. (See 5 -year and 10 -year goals in Appendix E).
Conduct water audits as required by the TCEQ and maintain unaccounted water to 12% of
the total used through existing and new maintenance programs.
■ Raise public awareness of water conservation and encourage responsible public behavior by
a public education and information program as discussed in Section VI.
V. METERING, WATER USE RECORDS, CONTROL OF UNACCOUNTED
WATER, AND LEAK DETECTION AND REPAIR
One of the key elements in water conservation is careful tracking of water use and control of losses
through illegal diversions and leaks. Careful metering of water deliveries and water use, detection
and repair of leaks in the distribution system and regular monitoring of unaccounted water are
important in controlling losses.
V -I. Metering of Customer and Public Uses and Meter Testing, Repair and
Replacement
Non - measuring meters and under registering meters will be field tested, checked, and replaced
when found to be out of the manufacturer specifications or not meeting AWWA standards. The
City of Euless has a scheduled replacement program for all meters, with two inch and above meters
being replaced every ten years, smaller than two inches are replaced every 15 years.
V -II. Record Management System
Euless classifies water customers as residential, multi - family, commercial, governmental and
irrigation. This information is included in the yearly conservation report. Monthly recording and
6
discussion of consumption, billing and unaccounted water is discussed monthly. Euless has limited
industrial water customers as a result these accounts are classified as commercial.
V -III. Determination and Control of Unaccounted Water
Unaccounted water is the difference between water delivered to customers and metered deliveries to
customers plus authorized but unmetered uses. (Authorized but unmetered uses would include use
for fire fighting, releases for flushing of lines, and uses associated with new construction.)
Unaccounted water can include several categories:
Inaccuracies in customer meters. (Customer meters tend to run more slowly as they age and
under -report actual use.)
Accounts which are being used but have yet to be added to the billing system.
Losses due to water main breaks and leaks in the water distribution system.
• Losses due to illegal connections and theft.
Unaccounted water is calculated and discussed monthly with representatives from the Utility
Billing, Finance, Public Works and City Manager's Office. With the measures described in this
plan, the City of Euless intends to maintain unaccounted water below 12% in 2009 and subsequent
years. If unaccounted water exceeds 12 %, the Public Works Department will implement a more
intensive audit to determine the source(s) of and reduce the unaccounted water as funds are
available. Monthly reporting and the annual water utility profile are the primary tools used to
monitor unaccounted water.
V -IV. Leak Detection and Repair
City crews and personnel will look for and report evidence of leaks in the water distribution system.
Areas of the water distribution system in which numerous leaks and line breaks occur are targeted
for replacement as funds are available.
V -V. Monitoring of Effectiveness and Efficiency — Annual Water Conservation
Report
An annual conservation report will be completed by May 1 of the following year and will be used to
monitor the effectiveness and efficiency of the water conservation program and to plan
conservation- related activities for the next year. This report records the water used by category, per
capita municipal use, and unaccounted water for the current year and compares them to historical
values.
VI. CONTINUING PUBLIC EDUCATION AND INFORMATION CAMPAIGN
The continuing public education and information on water conservation includes the following
elements:
■ Insert water conservation information with water bills. Inserts will include material
developed by City of Euless staff and material obtained by the TWDB, the TCEQ, Trinity
7
River Authority, Tarrant Regional Water District and other sources.
• Host an annual water forum as a means to communicate the importance of water
consery ation utilizing speakers and representatives from Tarrant Regional Water District,
the Trinity River Authority, Texas A &M Extension Service and employees from
surrounding cities with water conservation experience.
• The City of Euless provides a water conservation web page which lists the year round
time of day watering restrictions. The web page is devoted to water conservation tips with
links to sites (i.e. Texas Smartscape) for ideas on saving water indoors and out. Also
included are yearly estimates for water loss and cost associated with various plumbing
problems. Updates to the web site will be made as needed to reflect additions or changes to
City of Euless Ordinances, Resolutions or recommendations. The City of Euless web site
allows for residents to sign up for email notifications, which will be utilized to communicate
changes as needed.
Promotion of Texas Smartscape
Rainwater harvesting demonstration project
VII. WATER RATE STRUCTURE
The current water rate ordinance would not be considered "promotional ". Should the efforts of this
water conservation plan not achieve the desired results a tiered rate structure will be considered.
The following is taken from the City of Euless Code of Ordinance Sec. 30 -35:
Water and sewer service -- monthly rates.
The schedule of monthly rates and charges for water and sewer services furnished or caused
to be furnished by the city is as follows:
Water service -- Residential. The monthly minimum per living unit shall be as
follows:
(1) Within corporate limits, $7.25 plus $3.11 per 1,000 gallons.
(2) Outside corporate limits, $10.00 plus $3.11 per 1,000 gallons.
Water service -- Commercial and industrial.
(1) Within corporate limits, $7.25 plus $3.11 per 1,000 gallons.
(2) Outside corporate limits, $10.00 plus $3.11 per 1,000 gallons.
(3) Supplemental irrigation, $4.67 per 1,000 gallons.
VIII. OTHER WATER CONSERVATION MEASURES

Definitions of Utility Profile Terms
1. Residential sales should include water sold to residential (Single and Multi - Family) class
customers only.
Industrial sales should include water sold to manufacturing and other heavy industry.
Commercial sales should include water sold to all retail businesses, offices, hospitals, etc
Wholesale sales should include water sold to another utility for a resale to the public for
human consumption.
2. Water Loss is the difference between water a utility purchases or produces and the amount
of water that it can account for in sales and other known uses for a given period. Water
loss can result from:
1. inaccurate or incomplete record keeping;
2. meter error;
3. unmetered uses such as firefighting, line flushing, and water for public buildings and
water treatment plants;
4. leaks; and
5. water theft and unauthorized use.
3. The peak -day to average -day ratio is calculated by dividing the maximum daily pumpage
(in million gallons per day) by the average daily pumpage. Average daily pumpage is the
total pumpage for the year (as reported in Section IIA1, p. 4) divided by 365 and expressed
in million gallons per day.
4. Total use in gallons per capita per day is defined as total average daily amount of water
diverted or pumped for treatment for potable use by a public water supply system. The
calculation is made by dividing the water diverted or pumped for treatment for potable use
by population served, then dividing by 365. Indirect reuse volumes shall be credited against
total diversion volumes for the purpose of calculation gallons per capita per day for targets
and goals developed for the water conservation plan. Total water use is calculated by
subtracting the wholesale sales from the total water diverted or treated (as reported in
Section IIA1).
5. Seasonal water use is the difference between base (winter) daily per capita use and summer
daily per capita use. To calculate the base daily per capita use, average the monthly
diversions for December, January, and February, and divide this average by 30. Then divide
this figure by the population. To calculate the summer daily per capita use, use the
months of June, July, and August.
