  1. SBX7-7 Agency Team Meeting CII Task Force Toby Roy, San Diego County Water Authority Task Force Chair October 9, 2012

  2. SBX 7 7: Part of Comprehensive Legislation on water supply in California 2

  3. CII Task Force • DWR in conjunction with the CUWCC must: • Create a Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional (CII) Task Force. • Scope: Develop alternative best management practices for the CII water sector.

  4. Timeline • First Meeting: March 2011 • Monthly Meetings • Preliminary draft: December 2011 • Public Workshop: January 12, 2012 • Due Date to the Legislature: April 1, 2012 • Last meeting: August 15, 2012

  5. CII TF Membership • 28 Members: water suppliers, environmental groups and CII customers

  6. CII TF Purpose • Develop a report which DWR will present to the legislature containing the following: • Metrics • CII water demands • Public infrastructure to deliver recycled water • Institutional and economic barriers to increased recycled water use • Technical feasibility and cost of the user BMPs for efficient water use statewide in the CII Sector.

  7. Key Information in Report • Best Management Practices • Uses • Standards • Alternative Water Supplies • Recycled Water • Metrics • Cost Effectiveness

  8. BMPs: Focus on Uses • Cooling Towers • Boilers • Cleaning Equipment • Treatment Processes • Landscape

  9. BMPs: Device Based Standards • Mandatory: Plumbing codes, Green Building Standards • Voluntary: Watersense, energy star, LEED • Dishwashers • Toilets/Urinals • Ice Machines • Faucets • Laundry Systems

  10. BMPs: Alternative Water Supplies • On-site water recycling • Blowdown • Process water • Condensate • Stormwater/rainwater capture • Graywater • Recommendation: BSC should update plumbing codes to include alternative water supplies

  11. Key Findings: Metrics • There is no single metric that can be applied to CII uses • Each use site is unique • Metrics can be used to track efficiency trends both statewide and at the individual user level • Better collection of statewide water use data is needed

  12. Recycled Water-Infrastructure • Encourage more local planning • Develop state master plan • Provide State and Federal funding

  13. Recycled Water- Overcoming Barriers • Improve statutes to overcome regulatory barriers while protecting public health and water quality • Consistently implement State Board Policy and Regulations • Align plumbing code and recycled water regulations • Update Ocean Plan for brine disposal • Educate water users and suppliers • Competitively price recycled water • Provide quality to match the use • Increase system reliability

  14. Encouraging Industry Participation • Audits • Cost Effectiveness • Benchmarking • Improvement

  15. Next Steps: BMP Implementation • Get the Word out • Workshops • Technical Assistance • Stakeholder commitment and support • Customer self audits • Water agency conservation programs

  16. Next Steps: Track Success • Develop mechanisms for tracking and reporting water use data, audits, implementation and improvements • Voluntary and anonymous reporting by industry, compare to industry standards • Improved water use reporting to DWR • Reporting from DWR to the legislature

  17. Next Steps: Advancements in Technology • Maintain up-to-date BMP information (CUWCC) • Set efficiency standards for devices and equipment • Ensure up to date building codes

  18. Local Water Supplier Role • Standardize water use data reporting • Implement water conservation programs • Incentives, audits, technical assistance outreach and education • Support efforts to maintain up to date BMPs • Support standards development/legislation

  19. Local Recycled Agency Role • Take steps to overcome barriers to recycled water use • Competitive pricing of recycled water • Public outreach • Work with regulatory agencies • Local planning for recycled water use • Develop and find funding for needed infrastructure

  20. Industry’s Role • Promote implementation of BMPs and recycled water • Develop efficient technologies • Conduct self audits to determine opportunities for efficiencies • Implement cost effective improvements • Seek outside funding incentives

  21. State Agency Roles • Recycled water regulation and planning (SWRCB, CDPH, DWR, CEC) • Support funding for BMPS/recycled water/alternative water (DWR, SWRCB,CPUC) • Develop approach for comprehensive water use data collection (DWR, CDPH, SWRCB, CPUC) • Updated codes and standards (Building Standards Commission, CEC)
