Background and Purpose The mission of the City of Morro Bay Public Works Department is to enhance the quality of life for its residents by developing and maintaining the City's infrastructure in a safe and environmentally sensitive manner. To that end, the City of Morro Bay Public Works Department (Morro Bay) operates a retail water distribution system to provide the citizens with a source of safe and reliable drinking water. The operational area and key facilities associated with the Morro Bay System are illustrated in Figure 1-1. Maintaining a reliable and safe drinking water supply is a significant effort for Morro Bay which requires continual planning and upkeep as the resources and technologies available to Morro Bay change. The purpose of this Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) is to provide the public, stakeholders, and Morro Bay with an updated status and plan for the Morro Bay Water System including: • Water deliveries and uses • Water supply sources • Efficient water uses • Demand management measures • Water shortage contingency planning This UWMP was prepared in compliance with the Water Conservation Act of 2009, also known as SBX 7-7, under the authorization of Morro Bay. Morro Bay has undertaken several planning efforts since the 2010 UWMP as documented in the 2012 Recycled Water Feasibility Study, the New Water Reclamation Facility Technical Memorandum by Michael K. Nunley and Associates, and the 2015 City of Morro Bay Water & Sewer Rate Study. The information presented in this 2015 UWMP was prepared to reflect the City’s latest planning efforts. Notification letters sent to agencies are provided in Appendix A. Public notice for the 2015 UWMP public hearing is provided in Appendix B. The Adopting Resolution passed by the City Council on June 14, 2016 is provided in Appendix C. 3 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | Plan Preparation 2.1. Basis for Preparing a Plan Urban water suppliers with 3,000 or more service connections or supplying more than 3,000 acre-feet of water per year (AFY) are required to prepare an UWMP every five years to be in compliance with the California Water Code (CWC). The Morro Bay system exceeds the 3,000 service connections threshold requirements for an UWMP. 2.1.1. Public Water Systems The number of connections and total supplied volume for the Morro Bay system is summarized in Table 2-1. Table 2-1 Retail Only: Public Water Systems Public Water System Number Public Water System Name Number of Municipal Connections 2015 Volume of Water Supplied 2015 (AF) CA4010011 City of Morro Bay 5,474 1,074 TOTAL 5,474 1,074 NOTES: 2.1.2.

General Description Morro Bay was incorporated in 1964 and is governed by a five-member City Council. The Public Works Department manages the potable water and wastewater systems. The water system primarily includes a mix of residential and commercial customers with only a small portion of industrial customers. The service area of the Morro Bay Water System generally corresponds to the City boundary and is approximately four square miles. The City currently serves about ten residences outside the City limits in the Chorro Valley. Coastal mountain ranges limit the development extents of the City. A graphical illustration of the Morro Bay service area and associated service area regions is provided in Section 3.2. The wastewater service area is discussed in Section 6.5.2. 3.2. Service Area Boundary Maps A graphical illustration of the service area is provided as Figure 3-1. There have been no changes to Morro Bay’s service area since the 2010 UWMP. 3.3. Service Area Climate The Morro Bay service area has a dry, sub-tropical, climate that is heavily influenced by its proximity to the Pacific Ocean. Ocean breezes keep temperatures cool in the summer and warmer in the winter. The total yearly average rainfall is 16.74 inches.1 The majority of the rainfall occurs in the winter months, with January and February having the highest average rainfall. 1 Data from NOAA, Morro Bay Fire Dept. Station, 02/01/1959 to 01/01/2015, http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi- bin/cliMAIN.pl?ca5866 9 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | 3.4. Service Area Population and Demographics The Department of Water Resources (DWR) Population tool was used to estimate the 2015 population. Current and estimated population projections for the service area through the year 2040 are provided in Table 3-1. Population projections were obtained from the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) 2040 Population, Housing & Employment Forecast, dated August 11, 2011. The “Mid” population projection was selected for use, which is consistent with the City of Morro Bay 2014-2019 Housing Element Update. Table 3-1 Retail: Population - Current and Projected Population Served 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035 2040(opt) 10,224 10,244 10,482 10,778 11,078 11,381 NOTES: Population projections obtained from SLOCOG 2011 mid-range population estimate. 2015 Population obtained from U.S. Census Blocks using the DWR population tool and service connection data. 3.4.1. Other Demographic Factors Tourism is a key economic factor for Morro Bay and the City does experience increased water demand during the main tourism season, primarily in the months of July, August and September. Population changes associated with tourism are temporary and vary from year to year. As such, population changes due to tourism are not captured in census data and populations used in this UWMP. Increased water demands associated with tourism are accounted for in the yearly water demands described in Section 4.0. 10 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | This page intentionally left blank. 11 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | System Water Use 4.1. Recycled versus Potable and Raw Water Demand To provide clarity between potable and recycled water sources, these water sources have been discussed in separate sections of this document. A detailed description of recycled water is provided in Section 6.5. A summary of both potable and recycled water demands has been provided in Table 4-3 of Section 4.2. 4.2. Water Uses By Sector Current system demands are summarized, by sector, in Table 4-1. Projected demands are based on the population growth and expected development of the service area and future demand reduction targets. 4.2.1. Demand Sectors Listed in Water Code A breakdown of potable and raw water demands is provided in Table 4-1. Table 4-1 Retail: Demands for Potable and Raw Water - Actual Use Type 2015 Actual Additional Description Level of Treatment When Delivered Volume Single Family Drinking Water 562 Multi-Family Drinking Water 128 Commercial Drinking Water 250 Institutional/Governmental Drinking Water 97 Losses Drinking Water 37 TOTAL 1,074 NOTES: Other uses included "Vacant Land", "Industrial" and "Hydrant Flushing and Testing" were less than 1 AF. 12 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | Table 4-2 Retail: Demands for Potable and Raw Water - Projected Use Type Additional Description (as needed) Projected Water Use Report To the Extent that Records are Available 2020 2025 2030 2035 2040- opt Single Family 683 699 718 738 759 Multi-Family 156 159 164 168 173 Commercial 304 311 320 328 337 Institutional/Governmental 118 121 124 127 131 Losses 37 37 37 37 37 TOTAL 1,298 1,327 1,363 1,398 1,437 NOTES: Projected water use was scaled from 2013 demands based on future population projections relative to 2015 population.

Demand Sectors in Addition to Those Listed in Water Code 4.2.2.1. Exchanges In the past, the City has utilized emergency supply agreements with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) California Men’s Colony (CMC) Water Treatment Plant and Whale Rock Reservoir. These agreements require that borrowed water be returned after the emergency has ended. The Whale Rock Reservoir agreement is not active, so emergency exchange with the CMC would be utilized. The City is currently working with CDCR to update and formalize the exchange agreement with CMC. The 2010 UWMP included an optional emergency exchange with the Dynegy Power Plant, an agreement which was not formalized. The closure of the plant in February of 2014 makes an emergency exchange with the plant less likely. 4.2.2.2. Surface Water Augmentation Morro Bay does not use recycled water to augment stored surface water at this time. 13 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | 4.2.2.3. Transfers The City of Morro Bay does not temporarily sell or lease water rights to other agencies. Water sent to other agencies is not done on a wholesale basis but on an emergency exchange basis, as described in Section 4.2.2.1. 4.2.2.4. Wetlands or Wildlife Habitat The City of Morro Bay includes essential coastal habitat, including California’s first State Estuary. The marine resources do not require a City-provided potable or raw water demand. 4.2.2.5. Other There are no other water use categories to report. 4.3. Distribution System Water Losses System water losses occur as a result of leaks and ruptures in the existing distribution network, system flushing and cleaning, and pump pressure relief at wells. Total system losses for 2015 are provided in Tables 4-1 and 4-4. Table 4-4 Retail: Water Loss Summary Most Recent 12 Month Period Available (as calculated in Appendix D worksheet) Reporting Period Start Date (Month/Year) Loss January 2015 37 NOTES: Does not include seal losses nor pressure relief losses. 4.4. Estimating Future Water Savings The current demand projections are conservative in that they do not account for reductions in demand due to public outreach efforts, codes and ordinances limiting water use during periods of drought, or other “passive” water savings gained through public policy. Morro Bay has several ordinance, codes, and outreach efforts tailored for water conservation. A detailed description of these policies is described in Sections 8.3 and 8.4. 4.5. Water Use For Lower Income Households Morro Bay does not actively monitor demand for lower income households for billing purposes. Current and projected water demands for low income households are included in Tables 4-1 and 4-2, respectively.

To achieve this goal, each retail urban water supplier is required to establish a baseline water use, set target water use goals for 2015 and 2020, and demonstrate the 2015 target is achieved based on actual water use. The process for establishing baseline, target, and actual water use has been standardized by the DWR in the SB X7- 7 Verification Form. Water use measurements and targets are reviewed and reported based on a gallons per capita day (GPCD) basis. This chapter of the UWMP documents the data and methods used to establish baseline, target, and actual GPCD use within the framework of the SB X7-7 Verification Form. 5.1. Guidance for Wholesale Agencies This section is not applicable to the City of Morro Bay, which is a retail agency. 5.2. Updating Calculations from 2010 UWMP 5.2.1. Update of Target Method Since the 2010 UWMP, the methods for selecting water use targets have been revised. Additional data has also become available for estimating population since the development of the 2010 UWMP. This 2015 UWMP updates SB X7-7 calculations based on the availability of new data and additional guidance from DWR. 5.2.2. Required Use of 2010 U.S. Census Data Due to significant discrepancies between reported Department of Finance (DOF) population estimates and 2010 Census population estimates, all population estimates used to determine GPCD must be based on U.S. Census data. Population estimates and projections listed in the 2010 UWMP from 2001 to 2035 were based on 2000 U.S. Census Data and DOF population estimates because the completed 2010 U.S. Census Data was not available. 5.2.3. SBX7-7 Verification Form A copy of the completed standard SBX7-7 Forms is included in Appendix E and was uploaded to the DWR site. 5.3. Baseline Periods Two historic water use periods, a 10-15 year baseline and a 5-year baseline, were used as the basis for establishing the 2015 compliance GPCD and the 2020 target GPCD. The 10-15 year baseline period is used to compute the “Baseline” GPCD and the 5-year baseline is used to determine the “Target Confirmation” GPCD. 5.3.1. Determination of the 10 – 15 Year Baseline Period (Baseline GPCD) A 10-year baseline is mandated for retail water suppliers with less than 10 percent of the 2008 demand met by recycled water. In 2008, the City of Morro Bay did not produce nor import recycled water. For the 2015 UWMP a 10- year baseline from 1995 to 2004 was selected to establish the “Baseline” GPCD. This baseline period is consistent with the 2010 UWMP for the City of Morro Bay. 5.3.2. Determination of the 5-Year Baseline Period (Target Confirmation) A 5-year baseline from 2003 to 2007 was selected to establish the “Target Confirmation” GPCD for the 2015 UWMP. The selected 5-year baseline period does not differ from that used in the 2010 UWMP for the City of Morro Bay. 5.4. Service Area Population Population data is required to establish a GPCD for each year in both the 10-year and the 5-year baselines. 16 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | 5.4.1. Population Methodologies For this 2015 UWMP, population estimates through 2015 have been revised based on U.S. Census Data in accordance with guidance by the DWR. 5.5. Gross Water Use Gross water use includes all treated or untreated water entering the distribution system of a water supplier. Historic gross water use was utilized to compute the GPCD for each year of the 10-year and the 5-year baselines. Except for the addition of 2015 actual gross water use, historic gross water use data has not changed from that used in the 2010 UWMP. The 2015 actual gross water use was used to determine the actual 2015 GPCD. 5.5.1. Gross Water Tables 5.5.1.1. Indirect Recycled Water Use Deduction In 2015 recycled water was not used by the City of Morro Bay for groundwater recharge nor surface water augmentation. No deductions to historic and 2015 gross water use could be made based on indirect recycled water use. 5.5.1.2. Process Water Use Deduction Deductions to historic and 2015 gross water were not made based on industrial process water use. 5.6. Baseline Daily Per Capita Water Use Baseline GPCD was determined as the average GPCD computed from the 10-year baseline. 5.7. 2015 and 2020 Targets GPCD Targets for 2015 and 2020 are provided in Table 5-1. The targets differ from those listed in the 2010 UWMP due to changes in the population numbers used to compute GPCD. 5.7.1. Select and Apply a Target Method Method 3, reduction to 95 percent of the applicable State Hydrologic Region Target, was selected for use. This methodology was selected based on the data available as well as the ability of the City to meet the resultant GPCD target. The 2010 UWMP also used Method 3 to establish the GPCD targets. The service area of the City is located entirely in the South Coast Hydrologic Region. The 2020 target using Method 3 for the Central Coast Hydrologic Region is 117 GPCD. 5.7.2. 5-Year Baseline – 2020 Target Confirmation The 5-year baseline, described in Section 5.3.2, is used to establish a minimum 2020 GPCD target that must be achieved regardless of the selected target method. This minimum 2020 GPCD is referred to as the 2020 Target Confirmation and is computed as 95 percent of the 5-year baseline GPCD and applies to retail agencies with a baseline GPCD greater than 100. The 2020 Target Confirmation, based on the 5-year baseline, is 116 GPCD. 5.7.3. Calculate the 2015 Interim Urban Water Use Target Since the 5-year 2020 Target Confirmation of 116 GPCD is lower than the Method 3 Target of 117 GPCD, the 5-year 2020 Target Confirmation of 116 GPCD governs. Using this “Confirmed” 2020 Target, the 2015 Interim Target is 122 GPCD. 5.7.4. Baselines and Targets Summary GPCD Targets for 2015 and 2020 are provided in Table 5-1. The targets differ from those listed in the 2010 UWMP due to changes in the population numbers used to compute GPCD. 17 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | Table 5-1 Baselines and Targets Summary Baseline Period Start Year End Year Average Baseline GPCD* 2015 Interim Target * Confirmed 2020 Target* 10-15 year 1995 2004 128 122 116 5 Year 2003 2007 122 *All values are in Gallons per Capita per Day (GPCD) NOTES: 5.8. 2015 Compliance Daily per Capita Water Usage (GPCD) The City of Morro Bay’s actual 2015 GPCD is 95 GPCD.

Morro Bay does not currently utilize supplier produced surface water, stormwater, or recycled water. However, Morro Bay’s Water Reclamation Facility is currently under development. Morro Bay’s existing and future system supplies are summarized in Tables 6-8 and 6-9. The Consumer Confidence Report for Morro Bay’s water supplies can be found at the following web address: http://www.morro-bay.ca.us/CCR2015 6.1. Purchased or Imported Water Morro Bay purchases imported water from the SWP via contract with the County of San Luis Obispo. By contract, Morro Bay is limited to 1,313 AFY of SWP water. Morro Bay has two existing contracts with the San Luis Obispo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (SLOCFCWCD), both executed in 1992, to receive SWP water. The Morro Bay water supply relies on imported water from the SWP and local groundwater. Morro Bay’s desalination plant supplements the water supply at times during SWP shutdowns and emergencies. The groundwater basins are in overdraft due to the extended drought. Therefore, Morro Bay’s existing water supplies currently consist primarily of SWP water. Contractually, Morro Bay is entitled to 1,313 AFY of SWP water, plus an additional 174 percent “drought buffer” to ensure reliability when the SWP reduces deliveries during dry years. The “drought buffer”, detailed in the Drought Buffer Water Agreement for 2,290 AFY, allows Morro Bay to receive its full 1,313 AFY allocation when the SWP can deliver at least 36.44 percent of contracted allocations. California Department of Water Resources (DWR) - DWR owns and operates the SWP, which is the largest state- built water and power project in the United States. The SWP first started delivering water to Californians in the 1960s. In 1963, the SLOCFCWCD contracted with DWR for 25,000 AFY of SWP water. However, the Central Coast was not served State Water until 1997 when the Coastal Branch conveyance and treatment facilities serving Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties were completed. The SWP water originates within the Feather River watershed, is captured in Lake Oroville, and flows via the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, the California Aqueduct, and the Coastal Branch Extension into Central Coast Water Authority (CCWA) Polonio Pass Water Treatment Plant (PPWTP). Morro Bay receives SWP water from PPWTP via the Chorro Valley Pipeline. To deliver SWP water through the Coastal Branch, DWR has contracts with two of the 29 SWP Contractors, SLOCFCWCD and Santa Barbara County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (SBCFCWCD) via CCWA. The SWP Contractors then have water supply agreements with individual subcontractors to deliver SWP water to users. Central Coast Water Authority (CCWA) - In 1991, CCWA formed as a joint powers agency (JPA) among nine public agencies in Santa Barbara County to construct the facilities needed to deliver SWP water. In addition to supplying water to its participants, CCWA has operational relationships and agreements with the DWR and SLOCFCWCD. CCWA operates and maintains DWR’s pipeline from the PPWTP outlet to Tank 5. CCWA treats and conveys water for SLOCFCWCD. San Luis Obispo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (SLOCFCWCD) – SLOFCWCD was established in 1945 to provide flood control for the County and expanded to perform water resources management. In addition to supplying water to its eleven purveyors, SLOFCW CD has operational relationships and agreements with the DWR and CCWA. SLOCFCWCD obtains its water supply and conveyance capacity from DWR. Since CCWA operates and maintains the conveyance system for DWR from the PPWTP to Tank 5, SLOCFCWCD interacts with CCWA for water delivery requests. In addition, CCWA provides water treatment services to SLOCFCWCD at PPWTP. 20 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | Morro Bay Contracts - Maintenance schedules and repair requirements can cause reduced SWP deliveries or a complete shutdown of the delivery system. Since delivery to the Central Coast began, the SWP has provided between 50 and 100 percent of the contracted allocations, but recently, drought conditions coupled with pumping restrictions in consideration of endangered species habitat, lowered that amount to 35 percent in 2008, 40 percent in 2009, and 0 percent at the start of 2014. To supplement their contracted amount during these shortages, most agencies have entered into Drought Buffer Water Agreements. For example, when the SWP can only deliver 50 percent of contracted allocations, an agency with 100 AFY contract allocation and 100 AFY drought buffer allocation can still receive 100 AFY. (Fifty percent of 100 AFY contract allocation plus 50 percent of 100 AFY drought buffer allocation equals 100 AFY.) Morro Bay executed two contracts in 1992 with SLOCFCWCD for receipt of the SWP water. The first contract, the Water Treatment and Local Facility Agreement, involves the CCWA PPWTP and local facilities such as the Chorro Valley Pipeline. The second contract, Water Supply Agreement, covers receipt of SWP water and payment for State facilities. Morro Bay’s SWP entitlement is 1,313 AFY. Morro Bay also has entitlement to an additional drought buffer of 174 percent which allows the City to receive deliveries up to its full allocation of 1,313 AFY when SWP water deliveries are reduced due to drought conditions. When the SWP shuts down for annual maintenance activities each fall/winter, Morro Bay uses alternative water supplies, including untreated groundwater, treated groundwater using the brackish water reverse osmosis trains (BWRO), and water transfers. 6.2. Groundwater Morro Bay’s groundwater sources include the Chorro and Morro Bay groundwater basins, from which they have been assigned 1,142.5 AFY and 581 AFY, respectively, in their groundwater permits. The Groundwater Permits from the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Division of Water Rights are provided in Appendix F. Morro Bay produces groundwater from the Chorro Basin 2 and the Morro Valley Basin 3. Prior to the SWP water deliveries, Morro Bay relied solely on groundwater from these basins as its primary source of water. The Chorro and Morro Valley Basins are shallow alluvial basins which behave similar to an underground stream. Rainfall in the watershed percolates into the ground and flows underground to the ocean. If the groundwater is determined as riparian underflow, the use of such water resources is controlled by the SWRCB. In 1972, Morro Bay applied for permits to appropriate water from the Chorro and Morro Valley Basins. In 1982, SWRCB issued findings stating the Chorro Basin is supplied by riparian underflow. In 1994, Morro Bay reapplied for appropriative water rights. In 1995, SWRCB approved water right permits for up to 1.2 cubic feet per second (cfs) and 581 AFY from the Morro Valley Basin and up to 3.171 cfs and 1,142.5 AFY of Chorro Creek underflow 4. In accordance with water right permits, Morro Bay may pump up to 1,723.5 AFY of groundwater in normal years, but only 1,150 AFY in severe drought years. 6.2.1. Basin Description The Chorro and Morro Basins are described in the following subsections. CHORRO BASIN Chorro Basin encompasses approximately 3,200 acres (five square miles), although the effective extent of saturated basin deposits covers an estimated 1,900 acres (approximately three square miles). The basin is bounded by the Morro Bay estuary and elsewhere by impermeable rock units. Most of the basin area is within unincorporated San Luis Obispo County, with the Morro Bay overlying the basin area near the Morro Bay estuary. Recharge to the basin comes primarily from seepage of surface flows in Chorro Creek and tributaries (including the California Men’s Colony wastewater treatment plant discharges and releases from Chorro Reservoir), deep percolation of precipitation, and residential/agricultural return flows. The water supply aquifers are alluvial deposits drained by Chorro Creek, which are comprised of gravel, sand, silt, and clay. These alluvial deposits are 50 to 70 feet thick downstream of Canet Road. 2 Chorro Basin is Chorro Groundwater Basin No. 3-42 in the DWR Bulletin 118. 3 Morro Valley Basin is Morro Valley Groundwater Basin No. 3-41 in the DWR Bulletin 118. 4 Analysis indicates the 3.171 cfs requirement will limit extractions to 569 AFY in severe drought conditions. 21 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | Chorro Basin groundwater pumpers include Morro Bay, San Luis Obispo County, California State Parks, California Polytechnic State University, California National Guard, California Men’s Colony, and residential and agricultural overlying users. The perennial yield of Chorro Valley basin is estimated for planning purposes at 2,210 AFY. Safe yield under drought conditions is estimated at 566 AFY through the SWRCB. Nitrate concentrations are a concern for water quality in the lower portion of this basin. Sea water intrusion has been documented historically and is a potential future concern in the Chorro Flats area, should pumping patterns change significantly. In 2008, total dissolved solids (TDS) concentrations were measured typically between 500 and 700 milligrams per liter (mg/L). Constraints on groundwater availability in this basin include physical limitations, water quality issues, environmental demand, and water rights. In the Chorro Valley upstream of the Chorro Creek discharge point for the California Men’s Colony wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), water level and well capacity declines during drought continue to limit the availability of the resource. The WWTP discharges enter the basin as imported water sources, and therefore provide additional available water for basin wells and environmental demand below the discharge point. In the lower valley area, seawater intrusion is the primary constraint, especially during drought conditions. The elevated nitrates are a constraint for drinking water availability at Morro Bay’s well field where production is also limited by permitted appropriative water right. Morro Bay’s underflow production permits are also limited to minimum surface flows in Chorro Creek for Steelhead habitat protection. MORRO VALLEY BASIN Morro Valley Basin encompasses approximately 1,200 acres (1.9 square miles). The basin is bounded by the Pacific Ocean, the Morro Bay estuary, and by impermeable rock units. Most of the basin area is within unincorporated San Luis Obispo County, with Morro Bay overlying the basin area southwest of the narrows near Highway 1. Recharge to the basin comes primarily from seepage of surface flows in Morro Creek and Little Morro Creek, deep percolation of precipitation, and residential/agricultural return flows. The water supply aquifers are predominantly within alluvial deposits drained by Morro Creek, which are comprised of gravel, sand, silt and clay. The alluvial deposits are typically up to 80 feet thick. Morro Valley Basin groundwater pumpers include Morro Bay, Morro Bay Mutual Water Company, a cement plant, a small public water system (mobile home park), and residential and agricultural overlying users. Morro Bay pumps seawater and Morro Creek underflow from the basin, the latter with a permitted allocation of 581 AFY from the SWRCB. The perennial yield of Morro Valley Basin is estimated at 1,500 AFY. Analysis indicates during drought conditions, concurrent operation of Morro Bay’s seawater and fresh water supply wells could subject fresh water wells to seawater intrusion. Seawater intrusion and nitrates are the predominant concerns for water quality in this basin. In the mid-1980’s, TDS concentrations in groundwater downstream of the narrows near Highway 1 began to exceed 1,000 mg/L seasonally due to seawater intrusion and tidal influences. In 2007, basin TDS concentrations were typically between 400 and 800 mg/L and increasing toward the coast, except for an area beneath agricultural fields in the lower valley where TDS concentrations reached 1,000 mg/L, and nitrate concentrations reached 220 mg/L as nitrate. Constraints on water availability in this basin include physical limitations, water quality issues, and water rights. Shallow alluvial deposits are typically more susceptible to drought impacts. For the upper Morro Valley, water level and well capacity declines during drought would limit the availability of the resource; while in the lower valley area, seawater intrusion is the primary constraint. Elevated nitrates are a constraint for drinking water availability at Morro Bay’s well field where production is also limited by permitted appropriative water right. 6.2.2. Groundwater Management The SWRCB issues permits for the Chorro and Morro Basins as they are considered riparian underflow. Groundwater management of Chorro and Morro Valley Basins is not judicially designated as with the Los Osos Basin adjudication. However, since both basins are supplied by riparian underflow, SWRCB issues water right permits for groundwater extraction, thus effectively managing groundwater resources. 22 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | Additionally, the water agencies in the region manage the groundwater resources through cooperative planning, with SLOCFCWCD as the lead agency. With input from water agencies, SLOCFCWCD updated the county’s Master Water Report (MWR) in 2012 to detail a regional water resources plan. The analysis was divided by water planning areas (WPAs), which recognize jurisdictions that overlie groundwater basins and interconnected watersheds in order to assess their relationship. The MWR water management strategies are consistent with local purveyor water demand projections and planned water supply projects. The MWR was developed with input from all interested parties including the county’s seven cities, eight community service districts (CSDs), agricultural, developer and environmental organizations, institutions (California Men’s Colony, Cuesta College, etc.), and a member from each supervisorial district. The Morro Bay WPA includes Morro Bay, the Chorro Valley Water System (California Men’s Colony, Cuesta College, Camp San Luis Obispo (National Guard), County Operations Center/Office of Education), and agricultural and other rural overlying users. The only groundwater supplies within the WPA are Chorro and Morro Valley Basins. (Other major supply sources include the State Water Project, desalination (City of Morro Bay), Whale Rock Reservoir, Chorro Reservoir, and recycled water.) The issues in this WPA include drought impacts to groundwater supplies and groundwater quality, plus the availability/reliability of SWP Water from year to year. 6.2.3. Overdraft Conditions The Chorro and Morro Basins are not listed as critically overdrafted basins by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) as of January 2016. 6.2.4. Historical Groundwater Pumping Morro Bay’s pumped groundwater volume for the period 2011 to 2015 is shown in Table 6-1. Table 6-1 Retail: Groundwater Volume Pumped Groundwater Type Location or Basin Name 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Alluvial Basins Chorro/Morro Valley 119 110 152 61 168 TOTAL 119 110 152 61 168 NOTES: Total extractions listed include water that does not enter the distribution system, such as for testing purposes. For groundwater system supply volumes, see Table 6-8 and Table 6-9. 6.3. Surface Water Morro Bay does not use water directly from any surface water source. Indirectly, Morro Bay uses surface water via SWP as detailed in Section 6.1 and via groundwater riparian underflow as defined by RWQCB and detailed in Section 6.2. 6.4. Stormwater Morro Bay does not currently have any stormwater recovery systems as a water supply source. 6.5. Wastewater and Recycled Water Morro Bay, in conjunction with Cayucos Sanitary District (CSD), operates a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) under National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit No.R3-2008-0065. An application to renew the NPDES was submitted to the SWRCB in August 2013, which would permit the WWTP as a full secondary treatment facility with interim effluent limits. The WWTP discharges, on average, 1.10 million gallons per day (MGD) (3.4 AFY) with a design capacity of 2.06 MGD. The WWTP discharges via an outfall to Estero Bay and thence to the Pacific Ocean. 23 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | The California Coastal Commission (CCC) has denied a Coastal Development Permit for an upgraded WWTP at the existing location and therefore, Morro Bay and CSD are individually pursuing the planning, design, and construction of separate WWTPs at different location(s). Morro Bay’s planning efforts include maximizing the beneficial use of recycled water produced from a new Water Reclamation Facility (WRF). 6.5.1. Recycled W ater Coordination Morro Bay will coordinate with other agencies, community groups, and other stakeholders throughout the planning process for a new recycled water system. Recycled water has been used since 2006 in the region for non-potable demands including irrigation and groundwater recharge. Several water retailers in San Luis Obispo County recycle municipal wastewater, including the City of San Luis Obispo, Nipomo CSD, California Men’s Colony, Templeton CSD, City of Atascadero, Rural Water Company, and Woodlands Mutual Water Company. Additionally, a number of agencies have undertaken recycled water feasibility studies to determine the viability of developing recycled water projects. Such agencies include San Simeon CSD, Cambria CSD, City of Paso Robles, City of Pismo Beach, City of Arroyo Grande, and Los Osos CSD. Morro Bay and Cayucos Sanitary District investigated upgrading their jointly operated Morro Bay - Cayucos Sanitary District WWTP to produce tertiary effluent thereby increasing the possibility for a future water recycling program. However, in 2013, the California Coastal Commission denied Morro Bay’s Coastal Development Permit to construct a new wastewater treatment facility adjacent to its existing facility for a number of reasons, including lack of a major recycled water component and site suitability. Based on the California Coastal Commission’s direction and community input, Morro Bay and the Cayucos Sanitary District have separately embarked on planning a new WRF to treat wastewater and serve recycled water to its customers, to augment groundwater supplies if feasible, and to supply agricultural users in the Morro Valley. Cayucos Sanitary District has chosen to pursue a project independently. Morro Bay is currently developing a WRF Master Reclamation Plan to identify improvements to meet future flows and loads, and provide tertiary treatment with disinfection. The Master Reclamation Plan will build upon work developed in the market surveys and will result in more detailed project alternatives, including consideration of treatment options, alternative alignments for distribution pipelines, and siting of pump stations. This plan is expected to be completed in late 2016. 6.5.2. Wastewater Collection, Treatment, and Disposal 6.5.2.1. Wastewater Collected Within Service Area In 2012, Morro Bay and Cayucos Sanitary District investigated upgrading their jointly operated Morro Bay - Cayucos Sanitary District WWTP. The analysis indicated the influent average daily flow was 1.25 MGD; average daily maximum month flow was 2.66 MGD; and peak season dry weather flow was 2.49 MGD. The WWTP received over 80 percent return flow from the potable water system. This represents influent from both Morro Bay and Cayucos Sanitary District. Morro Bay’s recent Technical Memorandum prepared by Black & Veatch calculates flows from Morro Bay alone as average annual daily flows of 81 gallons per capita per day with an average max month flow factor of peaking factor of 1.19 and a peak seasonal dry weather flow peaking factor of 1.05. Data on wastewater collected within Morro Bay’s service area is shown in Table 6-2. 24 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | Table 6-2 Retail: Wastewater Collected Within Service Area in 2015 There is no wastewater collection system.

Wastewater Treatment and Discharge Within Service Area The WWTP employs a centralized wastewater treatment strategy in which wastewater is collected from residences and industries throughout the Morro Bay and Cayucos Sanitary District service areas and conveyed via a wastewater collection system to the WWTP. The WWTP serves Morro Bay and the community of Cayucos located in unincorporated San Luis Obispo County. The WWTP is currently designed for an average annual daily flow of 1.5 MGD, average daily maximum month flow of 2.9 MGD, and peak season dry weather flow of 2.7 MGD. Flows from the WWTP are discharged through a 27‐inch diameter pipeline that extends 2,900 feet offshore into the Pacific Ocean. Table 6-3 provides WWTP treatment and discharge volumes in units of acre-feet. The WWTP has a secondary treatment 5 design capacity of 0.97 MGD. Flows in excess of 0.97 MGD receive primary treatment only before blending with secondary effluent, disinfection, and discharge to the Pacific Ocean. With an average annual daily flow at the existing facility of 1.25 MGD, the majority of WWTP effluent currently receives secondary treatment during most of the year. The existing treatment processes include: Liquid treatment processes: Primary sedimentation Trickling filters Secondary clarifiers Disinfection (sodium hypochlorite) Solids treatment processes: Anaerobic digestion Drying beds 5 Morro Bay and Cayucos Sanitary District had reached a settlement agreement with the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) to upgrade the WWTP to full secondary treatment in anticipation of losing the 301(h) waiver for ocean discharge. However, the California Coastal Commission denied the Coastal Development Permit needed to upgrade the facility. Therefore, the WWTP is unable to provide tertiary treatment that would meet recycled water standards as defined in the Code of Regulations under Title 22. 26 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | Table 6-3 Retail: Wastewater Treatment and Discharge Within Service Area in 2015 No wastewater is treated or disposed of within the UWMP service area.

Recycled Water System Morro Bay does not currently have a recycled water system. Section 6.5.4.1 describes the planned recycled water system. 6.5.4. Recycled Water Beneficial Uses 6.5.4.1. Current and Planned Uses of Recycled Water Morro Bay’s development of a recycled water system began with the very long process of replacing its existing WWTP. In 2006, Morro Bay started to consider renovating the existing plant. By 2010, it focused on rebuilding the plant on the existing oceanfront site. That effort was halted in 2013 when the Coastal Commission denied a permit to rebuild on the existing site. As such, Morro Bay began to determine the best location and technology for a new plant. Both the California Coastal Commission and Morro Bay’s General Plan require the new WWTP to produce recycled water. The new WRF is projected to produce 1.0 MGD of recycled water. Based upon the current analysis, the plant is anticipated to use either a Membrane Bio-Reactor (MBR) or Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR), with microfiltration and ultraviolet disinfection for water reclamation. Continuing with project planning and permitting, Morro Bay is preparing its WRF Master Plan while pursuing acquisition of a new site for the plant. To utilize a WRF, the existing WWTP will be decommissioned and the influent wastewater will be distributed to the newly constructed WRF. The WRF will treat the influent to meet Title 22 regulations and produce recycled water for distribution. The WRF Master Plan will include development of the conceptual project and will examine advanced treatment requirements. Pipeline alternatives such as pipeline networks or storage facilities will also be examined. Morro Bay will develop a recycled water market survey as an initial step to identify the potential regional market for recycled water and investigate project alternatives. A recycled water market assessment will be completed to assess potential to utilize recycled water in-lieu of imported water for irrigation and/or industrial processes. Also, the market assessment will evaluate environmental uses for recycled water (e.g. to improve fresh water available for wetlands in the service area.) The strategy for developing market assurances will be investigated and a customer connection schedule will be developed. Previous analysis provided a preliminary market assessment with the following conclusions: • The potential to offset potable water used for irrigation within the service area is low since less than 20 percent of the potable supply is used for irrigation purposes. Also, the potential irrigation use is predominantly residential landscape irrigation which is expensive to serve with recycled water. • Any inland discharge to groundwater basins will require the development of a Salt and Nutrient Management Plan. Considering the historic groundwater characteristics, low salt and nitrogen limits should be expected, indicating the need for advanced water treatment. • Agricultural irrigation offers the largest potential use at an estimated 1,000 AFY. However, requirements for high quality water results in high production costs. Highly treated recycled water is much more expensive than privately produced groundwater. Additionally, there are potential legal and regulatory issues for Morro Bay to serve recycled water to irrigated lands outside its service area. • The feasibility of implementing a Groundwater Recharge Reuse Project (GRRP) may be limited due to the physical constraints of the groundwater basins which consist of thin alluvial aquifers offering only seasonal storage capacity during drier periods. Additionally, the required California Division of Drinking Water (DDW) well spacing between injection wells and potable wells may preclude siting GRRP wells. The cost of advanced water treatment required for GRRP programs may prohibit such a project. • A stream enhancement project at Chorro Creek could be implemented to maintain a baseline creek discharge of 1.4 cfs, allowing withdrawal of Morro Bay’s full allocation even during dry seasons. However, as with GRRP, the cost of advanced water treatment required may prohibit such a project. 28 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | Despite the cost of recycled water exceeding the cost of groundwater, the reliability of recycled water deliveries coupled with the rising costs of SWP water and desalination water ensure that Morro Bay’s WRF will provide a new necessary and dependable water supply.

Desalinated Water Opportunities Morro Bay’s desalination plant was originally permitted and constructed in 1992 to provide seawater desalination during a drought emergency. In 2009, it was expanded to treat brackish groundwater. The two treatment trains, seawater reverse osmosis and brackish water reverse osmosis, can produce 645 AFY and 581 AFY, respectively. The latter treatment train is capable of treating the entire 581 AFY of Morro Basin groundwater that the Morro Bay can extract by permit. The desalination plant served as Morro Bay’s primary source of water supply for a few months of 2010 due to an extended State Water shutdown and is currently used on a very limited basis to treat high‐nitrate groundwater from the Morro Valley Basin, in order to supplement SWP supply. The plant provides a source of backup and emergency water supply in case of future SWP supply reductions or service outages. Once the City has gone through the permitting process with California Coastal Commission and the Water Board, the plant could potentially serve as a primary source of supply, replacing the SWP water. The City has recently submitted an application to re-permit the desalination plant for permanent use of saltwater wells, outfall line, and appurtenant piping previously authorized for temporary use by the California Coastal Commission. With the treatment upgrade in 2009, the desalination plant can serve as a reliable source of water for Morro Bay in emergencies and perhaps as a regular source of supply. As part of the City’s strategic planning, Morro Bay is initiating a supply diversification study entitled “One Water”. As part of this planning effort, Morro Bay will complete Master Plans for stormwater, wastewater collection, water system, and water supply. These activities, in conjunction with re-permitting the desalination plant and evaluation options to relocate the desalination plant, are part of the City’s overall goal to improve water supply diversification. 6.7. Exchanges or Transfers If Morro Bay’s standard water sources become unavailable, Morro Bay has had agreements to transfer/exchange water with adjacent water purveyors. In 2008, the SWP shutdown took place when groundwater quality issues were limiting Morro Bay’s use of groundwater. The shortfall was made up for through an agreement with the California Men’s Colony to provide the City with water during that period. 32 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | Available on an as-needed basis, Morro Bay has water transfer/exchange opportunities with adjacent purveyors as discussed below. • California Men’s Colony (CMC): The CMC has a water filtration plant with a rated capacity of 3.0 MGD that operates approximately eight hours per day to treat water from the Whale Rock, Chorro and Salinas Reservoirs and other water sources. By operating the plant on a 24-hour basis, the CMC plant could provide up to 1.7 MGD to Morro Bay. In the past, Morro Bay and CMC have signed a mutual aid agreement that allows the two water purveyors to provide water to each other during water shortages. The mutual aid agreement calls for each purveyor to repay the borrowed water at a later, mutually agreeable time. Morro Bay has received water from this agreement in the past during SWP system shutdowns. City is currently working with CDCR to update and formalize the exchange agreement with CMC. • Whale Rock: In the past, Morro Bay entered into an emergency supply agreement with the purveyors of the Whale Rock system. Because the water from Whale Rock is raw water requiring surface water treatment, and the connection to the Whale Rock system is with a potable pipeline, this was an emergency only agreement. The Whale Rock Reservoir agreement is not currently active. • Morro Bay Power Plant: Morro Bay has previously had and may have the opportunity in an emergency to receive water from the Morro Bay Power Plant. There is no formal agreement with this agency at this time but in a short-term emergency, water may be available for Morro Bay to exchange. 6.8. Future Water Projects While Morro Bay constructs capital improvement projects, as needed, as part of its maintenance of existing water supply, these projects do not increase Morro Bay’s water supply and therefore are not included here. However, Morro Bay plans to construct a water recycling treatment plant and distribution system as described in Sections 6.5.3 through 6.5.5. The proposed water reclamation facility is listed in Table 6-7, which summarizes future water supply projects.

Summary of Existing and Planned Sources of Water The actual water supplied to Morro Bay in 2015 is summarized in Table 6-8 and is lower than average primarily due to statewide mandatory conservation. Table 6-9 summarizes Morro Bay’s water supply projected available through 2040.

Surface water based on the SWP contractual entitlement and drought buffer of 1,313 AFY. Desalinated water includes 645 AFY of treated seawater. 35 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | Water Supply Reliability Assessment The CWC requires urban water suppliers to assess water supply reliability that compares total projected water used with the expected water supply over the next twenty years in five-year increments. The CWC also requires an assessment for a single dry year and multiple dry years. This chapter presents the reliability assessment for Morro Bay’s service area. It is the stated goal of Morro Bay to deliver a reliable and high quality water supply for its customers, even during dry periods. Based on conservative water supply and demand assumptions over the next 25 years, in combination with conservation of non-essential demand during certain dry years, the Plan successfully achieves this goal. 7.1. Constraints on Water Sources Morro Bay has various water supply sources available (groundwater, SWP water, and desalination water) to meet demands during normal, single-dry, and multiple-dry years. In the future, recycled water will also become part of Morro Bay’s water supply portfolio. The reliability of these sources is discussed below. Groundwater: The Chorro Basin and the Morro Valley Basin are intended as the primary sources of water supplying Morro Bay’s service area in the years to come. Both basins are managed through permitted allocations and they should continue to be utilized to their fullest extent as a source of water. SWP Water: Morro Bay should continue to purchase its full SWP allotment by utilizing its contractual entitlement and drought buffer until a viable alternative source of supply has been established. Desalination Water: While desalination water is expensive to produce, it is a highly reliable water source. With the treatment upgrade in 2009 and the water rate surcharge implemented in 2015, the desalination plant will serve as a reliable source of water for Morro Bay. Recycled Water: Once Morro Bay’s WRF is constructed and delivering recycled water, this recycled water supply may not be affected by drought conditions because irrigation demand does not contribute to wastewater flows. For this reason drought does not influence flows from the wastewater system, and therefore does not affect the availability of recycled water. Recycled water is commonly viewed as a drought proof supply and is assumed to be 100 percent reliable within the limits of water conservation. 7.2. Reliability by Type of Year In order to determine Morro Bay’s water supply reliability, an assessment was developed that includes a comparison of total projected water demand with the supply available on a “type of year” basis. The results for the assessment are described in the following sections. 7.2.1. Type of Years The reliability assessment was developed for the following conditions: (1) normal/average water year, (2) single-dry water year, and (3) three-year dry period. The basis of the water supply and demand assessment are summarized in Table 7-1. 36 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | Table 7-1 Retail: Basis of Water Year Data Year Type Base Year Available Supplies if Year Type Repeats Agency may provide volume only, percent only, or both Volume Available % of Average Supply Average Year 2010 3,682 100% Single-Dry Year 2015 3,682 100% Multiple-Dry Years 1st Year 2015 3,682 100% Multiple-Dry Years 2nd Year 2015 3,198 87% Multiple-Dry Years 3rd Year 2015 1,622 44% NOTES: Multiple Dry Year 2nd Year is based on 23% SWP water and Multiple Dry Year 3rd Year is based on 11% of SWP water and no water from Chorro Basin. 7.2.2. Agencies with Multiple Sources of Water The terms of single-dry year and multiple-dry years refer to years when water supplies are the lowest. This occurs primarily when precipitation is lower than the long-term average precipitation. The impact of low precipitation in a given year on a particular supply may differ based on how low the precipitation is, or whether the year follows a high- precipitation year or another low-precipitation year. For example, with imported supplies, a low precipitation year may or may not affect supplies, depending on how much SWP water has been stored at the beginning of the year. However, the continuing drought conditions and statewide mandated water conservation have established 2015 as a dry year for all of Morro Bay’s water supply sources. 7.3. Supply and Demand Assessment As shown in Tables 7-2 through 7-4, Morro Bay will have sufficient water supply to meet its demands for normal, single-dry, and multiple-dry years through 2035.

This section describes the actions which Morro Bay will implement in such situations. Morro Bay’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) is found in Morro Bay’s municipal code of ordinances within Chapter 13.04 Water Service and Rates. Within Chapter 13.04, Section VII Emergencies includes the four subsections which comprise Morro Bay’s WSCP. As the WSCP, the four subsections are discussed further in Section 8.7 of this report. The WSCP is divided into five stages which are discussed in Section 8.1 of this report. In addition to the WSCP ordinance, the City Council adopted Morro Bay’s WSCP by resolution. When Morro Bay’s 2010 UWMP was adopted in Resolution 46-11, the WSCP was included as the 2010 UWMP Appendix I. The term “WSCP” is often used interchangeably when referring to the ordinance, the resolution, or the 2010 UWMP Appendix I, as the content is duplicative. The purpose of the WSCP is to detail actions and restrictions to be followed during the various stages of a water shortage. Morro Bay has established diverse approaches to meeting future water demands including: facility improvements and deliveries of local groundwater; deliveries of imported water; utilizing supply from desalination facility; and supporting water demand management programs. This has allowed Morro Bay to meet most demands in spite of drought conditions. However, water shortages can be triggered by a hydrologic limitation in supply, limitations or failure of supply and treatment infrastructure, or both. Hydrologic or drought limitations tend to develop and abate more slowly, whereas infrastructure failure tends to happen quickly and relatively unpredictably. Morro Bay’s WSCP ensures that water demands are met promptly and equitably. When the State implemented mandatory water conservation measures in 2014, Morro Bay was already operating at Stage 2 (moderately restricted water use) of its WSCP. Therefore, Morro Bay increased its mandatory water conservation measures to Stage 3 (severely restricted water use) of its WSCP. The plan details Morro Bay’s actions implemented during the various stages of a water shortage and includes the water conservation requirements for customers during each stage. 8.1. Stages of Action In order to reduce water demands during critical water supply periods, the City Council can declare an emergency by resolution and thereby authorize the implementation of WSCP as outlined in the municipal code. The resolution declares which of the five stages is enacted. The actions to be undertaken during each stage include, but are not limited to, the following: Stage 1 Normal Water Supply Conditions - The activities performed by the City during this stage include: • Spring-loaded shut-off nozzles are required for outdoor water use. • Outdoor irrigation resulting in excessive runoff is prohibited. • Water may be used as needed for washing and cleaning paved surfaces. • Water is supplied to customers at restaurants only upon request. 40 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | Stage 2 Moderately Restricted Water Supply Conditions - Stage 2 includes actions undertaken in Stage 1. The actions performed by the City during this stage include: • Any use that results in excessive gutter runoff is prohibited. • Water may be used for washing vehicles, boats and buildings with spring-loaded shutoff nozzles, but spraying paved areas is prohibited except for public health or safety. • Outdoor irrigation is restricted between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. and is to be performed only on designated days, except for newly planted landscaping that requires additional water to survive. Excessive gutter runoff is prohibited. • Water is supplied to customers at restaurants only upon request Stage 3 Severely Restricted Water Supply Conditions - Stage 3 includes all steps taken in prior stages regarding allotments and mandatory conservation rules. The actions performed by the City include: • Washing boats, marinas, buildings and outdoor paved areas is prohibited except for public health or safety reasons. • Washing cars may be performed only with the use of a bucket and sponge. • Emptying and refilling swimming pools and commercial spas is prohibited. • The use of potable water for compaction, dust control and construction purposes is prohibited. • Dysfunctional or leaking water fixtures in public or commercial facilities are required to be repaired within three days. • All visitor-serving facilities shall prominently display water conservation educational materials and provide handouts, which outline the mandatory conservation measures being taken. Stage 4 Critical Water Supply Conditions - Stage 4 includes all steps taken in prior stages regarding allotments and mandatory conservation. The actions performed by the City include: • Any water use that results in gutter runoff is prohibited. • Any water cleanup for public health and safety shall be performed with a bucket and brush. No use of hoses, even if equipped with a shut-off nozzle is permitted. • Irrigation is to be performed only once per week, and is not allowed between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. • Use of fresh water to wash down boats or docks or for other incidental activities is prohibited. All hoses shall have spring-loaded shut-offs or similar devices and may be used only to fill water tanks of boats or to flush outboard engines. • Restaurants shall serve water only in response to specific requests by a customer. • Emptying and refilling all pools and spas is prohibited. • Use of potable water for compaction or dust control purposes in construction activities is prohibited. • Dysfunctional or leaking water fixtures shall be repaired immediately. • All visitor-serving facilities in the city shall prominently display these mandatory water conservation requirements for the benefit and education of visitors to the community. 41 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | Stage 5 Emergency Water Supply Conditions - Stage 5 includes all steps taken in prior stages regarding allotments and mandatory conservation. The actions performed by the City include: • The City Council may impose water-rationing requirements as it deems appropriate. In addition to the mandatory water conservation program detailed above, the City has implemented a leakage detection and repair program, calibrated production meters, replaced water meters, coordinated billing information, and implemented an extensive pipe replacement program. Table 8-1 shows the water supply condition during which each stage is implemented.

NOTES: Percent supply reduction is based upon Morro Bay’s 2010 UWMP. 8.2. Prohibitions on End Uses Morro Bay’s WSCP details the various prohibitions and sets forth water use violation fines, charges for removal of flow restrictors, as well as establishes the period during which mandatory conservation and rationing measures will be in effect. The prohibitions on various wasteful water uses are summarized in Table 8-2 and they are listed below. • Outdoor irrigation resulting in excessive runoff • Using potable water for street washing • Any use which results in excessive gutter runoff • Washing boats, marinas, buildings and outdoor paved areas • Emptying and refilling swimming pools and commercial spas • The use of potable water for compaction, dust control and construction purposes • Any water use that results in gutter runoff 42 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | In addition to the mandatory conservation and rationing measures imposed in Stages 1 through 5, the City Council and the Public Works Director are authorized to take further actions including: • Limit irrigation to specified hours, or prohibit irrigation; • Hold all customers to specified maximum usages of water for each category of users; • Require users to supply their own drinking and cooking water; • Take any other action which the City Council deems necessary to protect the public health or safety, prevent contamination of wells or other sources of water, or ensure an adequate water supply; • Specify the days and/or hours during which water users may irrigate; • If customer violates irrigation restrictions, Morro Bay shall turn off the customer’s water after giving written notice to the customer; • If customer flagrantly wastes water, Morro Bay shall turn off the customer’s water after giving written notice to the customer; • If customer fails to repair leaks within three days of notification, Morro Bay shall turn off the customer’s water after giving written notice to the customer; • If limits to maximum usages of water are set and a customer violates that use, the customer may be assessed a penalty of $3 per hundred cubic feet (hcf) of water used over the maximum; • Prohibit the filling or refilling of swimming pools, hot tubs or spas. Table 8-2 summarizes these restrictions and prohibitions.

Penalties, Charges, Other Enforcement of Prohibitions Morro Bay’s WSCP enforces prohibitions and assesses penalties for prohibited water use violation as described: • If customer violates irrigation restrictions, Morro Bay shall turn off the customer’s water after giving written notice to the customer; • If customer flagrantly wastes water, Morro Bay shall turn off the customer’s water after giving written notice to the customer; • If customer fails to repair leaks within three days of notification, Morro Bay shall turn off the customer’s water after giving written notice to the customer; • If limits to maximum usages of water are set and a customer violates that use, the customer may be assessed a penalty of $3 per hundred cubic feet (hcf) of water used over the maximum. 8.4. Consumption Reduction Methods Most actions within Morro Bay’s WSCP leaves the responsibility to restrict water use to the customer. However, Morro Bay’s conservation programs and WCSP enhance consumption reduction. These programs are summarized below and categorized in Table 8-3. • Spring-loaded shut-off nozzles are required for outdoor water use. • Water is supplied to customers at restaurants only upon request. • Outdoor irrigation is restricted between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm and is to be performed only on designated days, in Stage 2. • Washing cars may only be performed only with the use of a bucket and sponge, in Stage 2. • Any water cleanup for public health and safety shall be performed with a bucket and brush since hoses are no longer permitted, in Stage 4. • Public education/information programs. • Water conservation newsletter and water conservation webpage both include updated water information, water conservation tips, information about water conservation programs by Morro Bay and other agencies. • Water conservation rebate program provides cash rebates for toilets, washing machines, rain barrels, removing grass, irrigation retrofit, and SMART irrigation controllers. • Green building incentive program provides a 20% permit fee rebate for eligible greywater projects. • Water allocation program for new development requires newly issued water meters to offset their water use on a two-to-one basis (or 440 gallons/day). Water offsets can be achieved by implementing water saving best management practices or by paying an “In Lieu” fee of $5,800. • Water equivalent unit retrofit program uses the “In Lieu” fees to provide water saving best management practices to Morro Bay’s water customers. Retrofits options may include: irrigation retrofits, ultra low flow toilets, lawn/landscape replacement, and rain barrels. 44 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | Table 8-3 Retail Only: Stages of Water Shortage Contingency Plan - Consumption Reduction Methods Stage Consumption Reduction Methods by Water Supplier Additional Explanation or Reference (optional) 1-5 Expand Public Information Campaign 1-5 Provide Rebates on Plumbing Fixtures and Devices 1-5 Provide Rebates for Landscape Irrigation Efficiency 1-5 Provide Rebates for Turf Replacement 4-5 Implement or Modify Drought Rate Structure or Surcharge NOTES: 8.5. Determining Water Shortage Reductions Morro Bay determines the actual reduction in water use through metering. Data from production meters and from customer usage meters is used to analyze the water conservation impacts during shortages. Additionally, customers can track their usage as recorded on their monthly water bill. Additionally, Morro Bay tracks actual reductions in water use based on the water shortage contingency analysis, by monitoring system demands at each of Morro Bay’s five water tank sites using Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system . The SCADA system tracks current production as well as tank levels giving information on demands. Water use analysis can be performed on a daily, weekly basis depending on monitoring needs. 8.6. Revenue and Expenditure Impacts Morro Bay completed a water rate analysis in March 2015 entitled “City of Morro Bay Water & Sewer Rate Studies.” After 20 years with no increase in water rates, Morro Bay’s water funds could no longer meet current obligations and future anticipated expenses. Not surprisingly, the study recommended adoption of water rate increases. Additionally, the report recommended establishing Water Shortage Emergency Rates. The Water Shortage Emergency Rates are designed to help the water enterprise remain financially stable during periods of emergency water shortages and reduced water sales. As a result of this study, the City Council held a public hearing and approved Resolution No. 30-15, which adopts water rate increases and establishes Water Shortage Emergency Rates. 8.6.1. Drought Rate Structures and Surcharges In addition to the water restriction penalty detailed by ordinance 6 as described in Section 8.3, Morro Bay also imposes drought rate surcharges by resolution. Discussed above, Resolution No. 30-15 establishes the Water Shortage Emergency Rates. 6 If limits to maximum usages of water are set and a customer violates that use, the customer may be assessed a penalty of $3/hcf of water used over the maximum. 45 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | The Water Shortage Emergency Rates help Morro Bay remain financially stable during periods of emergency water shortages and reduced water sales. These rates apply to metered water use. Pursuant to California law, any applied Water Shortage Emergency Rates will not exceed the City’s cost of providing service. Morro Bay only implements Water Shortage Emergency Rates, as needed, to support financial stability under a more-severe Stage 4 or Stage 5 water shortage emergency. In Stage 4, the rates per hcf are $8.18, $11.59, $15.00, and $19.09 for Tiers 7 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. In Stage 5, the rates per hcf are $12.85, $18.20, $23.56, and $29.98 for Tiers 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. 8.6.2. Use of Financial Reserves The City is required, by agreement with Central Coast Water Authority, to maintain financial reserve of 25 percent of annual operating costs. There is no specific City policy authorizing the use of such reserves for drought-related financial shortfalls. 8.6.3. Other Measures In the event Water Division funds were significantly affected by drought-related shortfalls, capital projects could be delayed or an internal service loan from either the General Fund or Wastewater Fund could be implemented. Internal service loan(s) would require Council approval. 8.7. Resolution or Ordinance Morro Bay’s WSCP is found in Morro Bay’s municipal code of ordinances within Chapter 13.04 Water Service and Rates. Within Chapter 13.04, Section VII Emergencies includes the four subsections which comprise Morro Bay’s WSCP. The WSCP’s four subsections are detailed as: • Section 13.04.320 Determination of low water levels - Grants the City Council authority to declare when a low water level condition exists. • Section 13.04.330 Council water conservation powers - Identifies the water conservation powers of the City Council when it is deemed necessary to conserve water during low water level periods. • Section 13.04.340 Public works director powers - Identifies the legal authority of the Public Works Director to enforce water conservation measures if the City Council adopts a resolution declaring a low water level or water system emergency. • Section 13.04.345 Mandatory water conservation requirements - Identifies the mandatory water conservation requirements for the five increasing levels, or stages, of conservation as the City’s water supplies are reduced during drought conditions. In addition to the WSCP ordinance, the City Council adopted Morro Bay’s WSCP by resolution. When the Morro Bay’s 2010 UWMP was adopted in Resolution 46-11, the WSCP was included as the 2010 UWMP Appendix I. The term “WSCP” is often used interchangeably when referring to the ordinance, the resolution, or the 2010 UWMP Appendix I, as the content is duplicative. 8.8. Catastrophic Supply Interruption The Morro Bay’s 2010 UWMP, adopted in Resolution 46-11, includes the WSCP as Appendix I. Within the WSCP, the Morro Bay’s Catastrophic Supply Interruption Plan (CSIP) is provided. The CSIP details the actions which Morro Bay will implement during a catastrophic interruption of water supply. A catastrophic interruption could be any event (either natural or man-made) such as regional power outage, earthquake, malevolent acts, or civil unrest that causes a water shortage severe enough to classify as either a Stage 5 water supply shortage condition. A catastrophic supply interruption differs from a staged drought response discussed above in that catastrophic interruptions occur suddenly and can jeopardize Morro Bay’s water supply. 7 The water used within each tier is 0 ‐ 3 hcf (Tier 1), 4 ‐ 10 hcf (Tier 2), 11 ‐ 50 hcf (Tier 3), and >50 hcf (Tier 4). 46 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | A catastrophic supply interruption can occur when the City loses one or more of its main water supplies. The likelihood of experiencing a simultaneous loss of more than one supply is low. For instance, local power outages may limit use of groundwater, but the City has stand-by emergency generators to assist in times of short term power outages. If the available supply is insufficient to meet the demand and water quality requirements, an emergency notification will be sent to all water customers, to inform them of the condition. The message will include the expected duration of the condition, and restrictions on water use for the duration of the condition. Additional actions which Morro Bay will implement during a catastrophic interruption of water supply are outlined below: Regional Power Outage • Assess the condition and ensure demands can be met. For example, continue supply water from some of its largest wells using generator power if the State Water is not available • Depending on the expected length of the outage, evaluate the amount of storage available, production with available supplies, and the projected demand to determine whether existing demands can be met while the outage persists. • Contact the largest water users, including the City’s Parks and Recreation Department, to determine if demand on large meters, such as for large irrigated landscapes like parks and schools, can be reduced sufficiently to last through the expected outage. • Arrange to provide emergency water. • Assess areas that will take the longest to repair. • Establish water distribution points and ration water if necessary. • Depending on the length of outage, assess and conduct bacteriological tests to determine possible contamination. • Arrange for alternate power supply to operate pumps. The City may request aid from adjacent water agencies for use of portable generators to power additional production wells to meet higher demands • If water service is restricted, attempt to provide potable water tankers or bottled water to the area Earthquake • Assess the condition of the water supply system. Arrange to provide emergency water (e.g., use of groundwater supplies in the event of non-availability of the SWP water). • Identify priorities including hospitals, schools and other emergency operation centers. • Complete the damage assessment checklist for reservoirs, water treatment plants, wells and boosters, system transmission and distribution. • Coordinate with fire district to identify immediate fire fighting needs. • Determine any health hazard of the water supply and issue any notification to the customers, if necessary. • Make arrangements to conduct bacteriological tests, in order to determine possible contamination. 47 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | Other Disasters (e.g. Malevolent Acts) • Assess threat or actual intentional contamination of the water system. • Notify local law enforcement to investigate the validity of the threat. • Get notification from public health officials of potential water contamination • Determine any health hazard of the water supply and issue any notification to the customers, if necessary • Isolate areas affected and assess any structural damage to the facility/water distribution system. Arrange to provide emergency water. 8.9. Minimum Supply Next Three Years An estimate of the minimum water supply available during each of the next three water years based on the driest three-year historical sequence for Morro Bay’s water supply is provided as Table 8-4. Table 8-4 Retail: Minimum Supply Next Three Years 2016 2017 2018 Available Water Supply 3,682 3,682 3,682 NOTES: Estimates are based on Tables 6-8 and 6-9. 48 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | This page intentionally left blank. 49 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | Demand Management Measures To reduce water demand, Morro Bay implements Demand Management Measures (DMMs), also known as Best Management Practices (BMPs). Historically the City of Morro Bay was an early and aggressive implementer of water conservation, the results of which have led to significant declines (46 percent) in average per capita water demands from 193 GPCD in 1970 to 106 gpcd in 2010. However the City of Morro Bay implemented water conservation too early to receive credit for its previous efforts under current State mandates. As part of the State’s goal to reduce water usage 20 percent by the year 2020, each water purveyor was asked to set and meet certain water conservation targets. Failure to meet those targets will result in ineligibility to receive certain types of State grants and loans. As part of this overall effort to force water conservation by the State, a higher focus on the DMM’s has resulted. The DMMs are functionally equivalent to urban water conservation BMPs administered by the California Urban Water Conservation Council (CUWCC). Morro Bay is currently not a member of CUWCC; however, Morro Bay’s water conservation programs follow CUWCC’s requirements. Morro Bay implements all DMMs that are cost effective, improve conservation efforts, and are critical elements of water resources strategy. In 2014, the CWC was streamlined from fourteen specific DMMs utilized in the 2010 UWMPs to six general requirements in Section 9.2 of the 2015 UWMPs. Morro Bay implements DMMs through several ongoing programs. These programs include: • Work order tracking (Public Services Department) • Water Billing (Utility Billing Division) • Water Waste Prohibition (Code Enforcement Group) • Leak Detection Program (Water Division) • Water Audits (Utility Billing Division) • Residential Plumbing Retrofit Program (Planning and Building Division) • Washing Machine Rebate Program (Planning and Building Division) • Toilet Retrofit Program (Planning and Building Division) 9.1. Demand Management Measures for Wholesale Agencies This section is not applicable to the City of Morro Bay. 9.2. Demand Management Measures for Retail Agencies 9.2.1. Water Waste Prevention Ordinances As detailed in Section 8, Morro Bay restricts water waste through its municipal code ordinance. During water supply shortages, Morro Bay enforces these regulations through two processes. The code enforcement process and the Water Division work order process. If a code enforcement complaint is received it is logged and investigated. The Public Works Director has the ability after providing written warning to terminate water service. Additionally, a penalty can be assessed for excessive water use. If a complaint is received directly by the Water Division a work order is 50 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | issued. Water Division staff then investigate the issue. And if an actual water waste incident occurs, the case is forwarded to code enforcement. 9.2.2. Metering Morro Bay has fully implemented metering of its water system. The City requires that all long-term and short-term water connections be metered. Morro Bay maintains metering accuracy utilizing its meter replacement schedule. 9.2.3. Conservation Pricing Morro Bay has fully implemented conservation pricing with its tiered water rate schedule. Customers’ water meters determine volumetric water use and customers are billed in accordance with the water rate structure. The tiered water rate schedule (higher unit cost with increased consumption) encourages water conservation. 9.2.4. Public Education and Outreach Morro Bay implements an active conservation outreach program. Morro Bay raises awareness about water conservation through advertising, press releases, and media events and provides its customers with a water usage comparison on their water bills. Additionally, Morro Bay’s website at www.morro-bay.ca.us provides information related to programs, rebates, water saving tips and announcements about upcoming events. Morro Bay also benefits from outreach programs provided through other neighboring agencies. Morro Bay incorporates conservation minded articles routinely in its utility newsletters, public conservation notices, announcements at public meetings, and television advertisements on the public access channel. Additionally, Morro Bay provides water conservation materials to the local schools and at the Morro Bay Community Library. 9.2.5. Programs to Assess and Manage Distribution System Real Loss Morro Bay recognizes the need to optimize local water resources, minimize the need for import water, and discourage wasteful practices. Morro Bay conducts water audits, leak detection, and repairs on an ongoing basis. Through metering, Morro Bay closely monitors water production and consumption, and investigates any unaccounted-for water to determine water loss. Construction Water Meters – Morro Bay has a program in which contractors are issued water meters by the City for use during construction. The contractors are required to use non-potable water during construction, as recorded by the issued water meters. System Water Audits, Leak Detection – Morro Bay implements this program by conducting audits of water production and delivery records to determine any losses within the distribution/transmission system. By comparing the production amount and total deliveries to customers, an overall water balance is calculated to identify possible meter problems or to detect leaks. City staff actively determine the sources of water loss though the system and prioritize system repairs and replacements. Leak Repair – Morro Bay's field staff regularly watches for water waste and leaks then notifies and works with customers to address the situation. Supervisors, customer service staff, meter readers, and the flushing/sampling crew inspect customer usage routinely for anomalies. Incidents of water waste are investigated and recommendations for correction are provided. Water sources are regulated and can be disconnected in cases of excessive leakage and/or facilities failure. Pipeline Replacement – Morro Bay’s extensive pipeline replacement program has reduced pipeline losses. Unaccounted-for water includes system losses due to leaks, reservoir overflows, and inaccurate meters, as well as water used in operations, hydrant flushing, street sweeping, line breaks, etc. 9.2.6. Water Conservation Program Coordination and Staffing Support Water Conservation Coordinator - Morro Bay does not engage a designated W ater Conservation Coordinator, but the job is fulfilled through the staffing in the City’s Public Works Department. The City has designated the Public Works Director as the acting Water Conservation Coordinator and additional staff members in the department assist the Director in these duties. 51 2015 Urban Water Management Plan City of Morro Bay | 9.2.7. Other Demand Management Measures Residential Plumbing Retrofit – Morro Bay has been implementing this program through its retrofit upon sale ordinance, which requires sellers of residential properties in the City to retrofit existing toilets, faucets, and showerheads with aerators and low flow equipment prior to sale. High-efficiency Washing Machine Rebate Programs - Each residential address in the City is eligible for a rebate for the replacement of a standard or high water use washing machine with an approved energy efficient unit. Residential Ultra-Low-Flush Toilet Replacement Programs - Morro Bay implements this rebate program as an incentive to replace existing standard flush toilets with ultra-low-flush toilets in single and multi-family residences. 9.3. Implementation over Past Five Years Water conservation efforts over the past five years have included rebates to customers for water-efficient washing machines, toilet retrofits, cash for grass, irrigation retrofits, rain barrels and “SMART” irrigation controllers. 9.4. Planned Implementation to Achieve Water Use Targets The City intends to prepare a One Water Plan within the next two years which will evaluate all the City’s water resources (water, wastewater, recycled water and stormwater). The One Water Plan will also include a section on a recommended water conservation program for implementation. 9.5.

If the amount of recycled water delivered in 2008 is 10 percent or greater, the first baseline period is a continuous 10- to 15-year period. 2 The Water Code requires that the baseline period is between 10 and 15 years. However, DWR recognizes that some water suppliers may not have the minimum 10 years of baseline data. 3 The ending year must be between December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2010. 4 The ending year must be between December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2010. 5-year baseline period Baseline 10- to 15-year baseline period NOTES: NOTES: SB X7-7 Table 2: Method for Population Estimates Method Used to Determine Population (may check more than one) 1.
