s 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE The City of Wichita Falls (City) is located in a semi-arid region, northwest of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. The City is the largest municipality in a radius of about 100 miles,and nearby communities are economically and culturally tied to the City.The major industries of the area include agriculture,cattle, oil and gas,government,and military facilities. Several small to medium manufacturing industries are located in the City and the surrounding areas. The City serves as a Major Water Providerfor the region, serving wholesale customers and an area greater than its direct retail customers. Water resources are an important element in the quality of life and economic wellbeing of the City and its citizens. Local bodies of water serve municipal, industrial, agricultural, and recreational purposes. Water use patterns have fundamentally changed within the Cityfollowing the drought of 2011-2015.This reflects behavior changes first implemented as droughtrestrictions that have become the"new normal" for residents.As the memory of that drought fades,elements of this water conservation plan,including education,are intended to improve the efficiency in the use of water. The City has developed the following WaterConservation Plan(subsequently referred to as the"Plan")in accordance with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality(TCEQ)guidelines and requirements.' The objectives of this Plan are as follows: • To protect and preserve public health,welfare,and safety. • To maintain watersupplies fordomesticand wholesale water use,sanitation,and fire protection. • To minimize the adverse impacts of water supply shortages. • To conserve the available water supply in times of drought and emergency. • To minimize the adverse impacts of emergency water supply conditions. • 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 encourage efficient outdoor water use.

Lake Wichita Lake Wichita is an impoundment of Holliday Creek located just south of the City. The lake was built in 1901 and was used for many years as the principal source of drinking water. The quality of the water is generally poorfor drinking purposes. Due to the age ofthe reservoir,Lake Wichita does not offer a reliable or significant yield to meetthe City's water supply requirements.Its major uses today are recreation and flood control. Lakes Kemp&Diversion Lakes Kemp and Diversion are jointly owned bythe City and Wichita County Water Improvement District #2(WCWID#2). Both lakes are located on the Wichita River,southwest of the City,with Lake Kemp located upstream of Lake Diversion.The reservoirs are operated as a system,with the majority of water supply diverted from Lake Diversion. Water released from Lake Kemp travels to Lake Diversion for distribution.Water supply from the Kemp-Diversion system is used for municipal,irrigation, mining,and recreational purposes.Irrigation water is diverted into canal systems that distribute water to customers in Archer,Clay,and Wichita Counties.Municipal water is diverted from the canal system to a reservoir with a pump station and transmission pipeline that delivers raw water to the City's Cypress Water Treatment Plant(WTP).Oklaunion Power Station(OPS)has a contract with the City to divert up to 20,000 acre-feet per year for industrial use in Wilbarger County. This water is diverted directly from Lake Diversion. Due to high salinity loads in the tributaries that flow into Lake Kemp,the water use from Lake Kemp historically has been limited to irrigation and industrial purposes. The City completed a reverse osmosis April 2024 S PAGE 15 OF 213 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.0 Water Conservation Plan / L4 a City of Wichita Falls /G !4 (RO)watertreatmentplant and infrastructure to utilize waterfrom Lake Kemp for municipal purposes.To improve the waterqualityofthe Wichita River,the Red RiverAuthority sponsors a chloride control project that diverts saline water from the South Wichita River above Lake Kemp to Truscott Brine Reservoir in Knox County. Evaluations of the effectiveness of the chloride control project found these diversions reduce the total chloride load to Lake Kemp by approximately 25 percent. This results in a lowe rchloride concentration in the reservoir. However,a significant chloride load remains within the reservoirsystem from the North and Middle Wichita Rivers. Future proposed low flow diversions from these tributaries should further reduce the chloride loading into Lake Kemp. Lakes Arrowhead&Kickapoo Lakes Arrowhead and Kickapoo are the primary sources of municipal water supplyforthe City.The lakes are located on the Little Wichita River south of the City and provide a reliable,high quality water source. In addition totheir primary purpose of providing a municipal watersupply,Lakes Arrowhead and Kickapoo are important regional recreational facilities. The City has water rights of 45,000 acre-feet from Lake Arrowhead and 40,000 acre-feet from Lake Kickapoo. The City also supplies raw water from Lake Arrowhead and Lake Kickapoo to four wholesale customers. Raw water is transmitted from Lake Kickapoo to the Secondary Reservoir in the City via transmission pipeline. Lake Kickapoo is higher in elevation than the Secondary Reservoir,so water can flow by gravity during months that require lower flows. Raw water from Lake Arrowhead is also transmitted to the Secondary Reservoir via transmission pipeline.Waterfrom the two lakes is mixed in the 110 million-gallon (MG)capacity Secondary Reservoir and then is transmitted to the City's two water treatment plants. Water flows to the Jasper Water Treatment Plant(WTP)by gravity and is pumped to the Cypress WTP. 3.2.2 Water Treatment System The City owns and operates two watertreatmentfacilities:Jasper WTP and Cypress WTP.The Jasper WTP has a conventional treatment capacity of 25.2 MGD.The Cypress WTP has a total treatment capacity of 52 MGD including a 10 MG D RO system and 42 MGD conventional treatment system.The City has a total storage capacity of 37.6 MG comprised of 31.1 MG ground storage and 7.5 MG of elevated storage. All treatment,pumping,transmission,and storage facilities have redundancy to ensure reliability of water service to the City's customers.

City of Wichita Falls /� /� a5 to :t Opsee rasma- 3.2.3 Wastewater and Reuse System The City operates two wastewatertreatment facilities.The Northside Resource Recovery Facility(NSRRF) and the Wichita Falls Resource Recovery Facility(WFRRF).The NSRRF is the smaller of the two facilities and was primarily built to attract and serve major industries. NSRRF treats about 40 percent of the Sheppard Air Force Base sewage while the remaining 60 percent is treated at the WFRRF.The NSRRF has a capacity of up to 1.5 MGD.The WFRRF is the City's primary wastewater treatment facility and has a capacity of up to 19.9 MGD. The City implemented an indirect potable reuse(IPR)system which takes treated wastewater effluent from the WFRRF and discharges it into Lake Arrowhead to augment watersupplies.Referto Section 3.6.4 for more information on the City's water reuse efforts.

The goals for this Water Conservation Plan include the following: • Maintain the five-year moving averagetotal percapita and residential per capita water use below specified amount in Table 3-2. • Maintain the level of water loss in the system below the specified amount in Table 3-7. • Maintain a program of universal metering and meter replacement and repair as discussed in Section 3.4.1. • Increase efficient water usage and decrease waste in outdoor irrigation through enforcement of reasonable landscape water management regulations as described in Section 3.6.5. • Raise public awareness of water conservation and encourage responsible public behavior by a public education and information program as discussed in Section 3.5.1. In the previous(2019)Plan,2 total per capita use goals were 160gallons per capita per day(GPCD)by 2024 and 155 GPCD by 2029.The City's residential per capita use goals were 69 GPCD by 2024 and 66 G PCD by 2029(Table 3-1).The City's five-year average(2019-2023) was 105 GPCDfortotal per capita use and 66 GPCD for residential per capita use,showing that actual usage has already achieved results in line with the 2019 Plan.

Ka6 3.4 METERING,RECORD MANAGEMENT,CONTROL OF NONREVENUE WATER,AND LEAK DETECTION AND REPAIR One of the key elements in water conservation is careful tracking of water use and control of losses. Reducing nonrevenue water is also one of the few water conservation programs that directly impacts rates.Forthese reasons,an aggressive meteririgand meterrepairand replacement program is vitalto the City. Such a program is one aspect of the efficient business operation of water and sewer service as a government function,and it preserves the financial integrity of the utility. From a water conservation perspective,universal metering ensuresthatcustomers are payingforservices received and are sensitive to the waste of a product for which they have paid. 3.4.1 Practices to Measure and Account for the Amount of Water Diverted from Reservoir Sources All diversionsfrom the City's watersupply reservoirs are metered atthe pointof discharge by devices with an accuracy of plus or minus five percent.The meteringdevices are calibrated annually by an independent contractor. 3.4.2 Monitoring and Record Management Program for Determining Deliveries, Sales and Losses The City has an effective record management system in place.As required by Title 30,Part 1,Chapter288, SubchapterA,Rule 288.2(a)(2)(B)of the Texas Administrative Code,the City's record management system allows for the separation of water sales and uses into residential (single-family and multi-family), commercial, irrigation,institutional, and industrial categories.This information is included in the TCEQ- required Water Conservation Implementation Report,as described in Section 3.5.4. The City meters all service connections and operates a comprehensive meter repair and replacement program. Through a central database system,the City maintains a record of the installation and or calibration date of all meters,regardless of size or class of customer served. Meters range in size from 5/8"to 16".In 2023,there were atotal of 35,391 active retail customer meters in the City.Of these,nearly 88%were single family residential connections.A full breakdown of active retail meters by water use type is shown in Table 3-4.

Master production meters at the raw watersources and at the watertreatment plants are calibrated annuallyand repaired/replaced as necessary.Damaged ordefective metersthat are either detected through observation or by AMI report are reported and work orders are submitted to Water Distribution Division through the computerized work ordersyste m. The work orders are then managed, accounted for, and completed by a meter repair section of the Public Works Department. Defective meters can also be reported bycitizens/customers,utility work crews,or others. These reports are also recorded as work orders and processed as indicated. Finally,defective meters are often found by reviewing customer use patterns and analyzing summary data on individual accounts. The City also aggressively pursues action against the illegal use of water through "straight-line" connections(i.e.,unmetered water connections). Such instances are filed with the Municipal Court for prosecution and recovery of revenue.This metering and meter replacement and repair program is April 2024 17 PAGE 24 OF 213 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.0 Water Conservation Plan id/44lar�s City of Wichita Falls r 5 programmed and budgeted annually. The PublicWorks Department's management monitors the success of the program through submission of tailored monthly reports. 3.4.3 Leak Detection,Repair,and Water Loss Accounting To achieve the objective of reducing the loss and waste of water due to leaks and other forms of unreported losses,the City has an effective water loss accounting program in place.Through its AMI system,the City is able to track wate r usage for each of its meters on a minute-by-minute basis.This allows both the City and its customers to detect potential water losses within 24 hours rather than waiting for the 30-day usage summary on the customer's monthly water bill.The ability to detect and address water loss issues much earlier allows the City to reduce unnecessary water waste and improve water use efficiency.The City also tracks the overall water loss or nonrevenuewaterfor its system as the difference between total volume discharge d from its treatment plants and the water metered and sold to customers. Table 3-6 shows the past five years(2019-2023) of water loss for the City.The long-term water loss goal established in the previous plan(2019)was to maintain 15 percent or less of the total water production as nonrevenue water. This Plan establishes new five- and ten-year water loss goals in GPCD and percentage(Table 3-7).The City will continue to reduce water lossesthroughoutthe system by analyzing and updating the targets and goals of this section in conjunction with the annual water loss audits required by TWDB. Beginning in 2025, TWDB will require utilities to have their most recent water loss audit validated by the TWDB Executive Administrator within three months ofsubmittalor prior toconsideration of a request for financial assistance from TWDB.

The City communicates information regarding water conservation and current drought restrictions through Its website (www.wichitafallstx.gov).The website has a "Water Conservation Tips" page with resources available to encourage citizens to conserve water.Some of the resources include: • List of permanent water conservation measures included in the City's Water Conservation Ordinance(Sec.106-186). • List of 100 ways to save water. • List of water savings tips for general,bathroom/laundry,kitchen,and outdoor water use. • Instructions to sign up for water restrictions and news updates through the City's"Notify Me" service_ • Information on average household water use, common causes of water waste that can be avoided,and cast savings estimates for water and energy efficient appliances. There is also a Watering Restrictions page which provides information on the current watering restrictions based on the drought stage in effect. In addition to the website,the City has implemented or plans to implementthe following public education efforts to communicate important water conservation information: • Utilizing social media to communicate important information about current lake levels,water restrictions,water conservation tips,and local water conservation education activities.Examples of water conservation tips shared on social media are shown in Figure 3-4. • Developed waterconservationbranding including the slogans"Use Water Right.Have Water Left" and"Be Water Wise"(Figure 3-5). • Added water conservation messaging to the tailgates of 26 Utilities and Utility Collections department vehicles.The City estimates each of the 26 vehicles is seen by 20 citizens per day, equating to 135,200 views over the course of 260 workdays annually(Figure 3-6).

More information about the operation of these reservoirs for the City's water supply can be found in Section 3.2.1. As furtherdescribed in Section 3.6.4,the Lake Arrowhead IRP augments natural inflows to the reservoir. The City has a policy of when to pump reuse to Lake Arrowhead to minimize spills from the reservoir.This also allows the City the opportunityto pump additional supplies from Lake Arrowhead in lieu of pumping from Lakes Kickapoo or Kemp.

The Conservation Coordinator is responsible for preparation and implementation of the City's water conservation and drought contingency plans, preparation,and submittal of annual conservation status reports to utility management,and implementation of the City's conservation program.Other duties of the Conservation Coordinator may include promotion of waterconservation programs,developing marketingstrat egies for conservation programs,coordination with other utility staff and promoting the value of conservation programs within the utility, participation in regional water planning conservation and drought period initiatives and management of conservation staff,consultants and contractors when appropriate. 3.6.2 Water Resources Commission WRC is a group of citizen volunteers who are responsible for analyzing and recommending strategies for efficient water use and practical water management.The WRC consists of five members appointed by the City Council to alternating two-yearterms,Each member has a professional interest in the efficient use of water.The WRC meets periodically and prepares a report with observations and recommendationsto be submitted to City Council. The City coordinated with the WRC for the development of this Plan. The process for updating the Plan was presented at the WRC meeting on November6,2023. The draft Plan was provided to the WRC for review and feedback was received on March 20,2024. 3.6.3 Water-Conserving Plumbing Fixtures The City adopted the 2015 International PlumbingCode,which is included in the City's code of ordinances. The code encourages waterconservationthrough the requirementfor new construction or renovation to include water efficient plumbing fixtures and facilities. 3.6.4 Water Reuse As mentioned in Section 3.2.3, the City implemented an IPR system in 2018 to transport treated wastewater effluent from the WFRRF to Lake Arrowhead for future water supply use.The I PR system is permitted to supply upto 16 MGD and is currently supplying an average of eight MG Dto Lake Arrowhead which would otherwise be discharged into the Wichita River downstream of the City's water supply system and become unavailable.The IPR system reducesthe demand for new water on Lake Arrowhead and Lake Kickapoo,The City's IPR system received the 2019 Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement April 2024 26 PAGE 33 OF 213 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.0 Water Conservation Plan FA- City !d a City of Wichita Falls K•s Award from the Texas chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers and has been recognized for excellence by several organizations, including the Texas Municipal League,the Water Environment Association of Texas,the Texas Public Works Association,and the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency. The City also provides up to 0.25 MGD of direct non-potable reuse water to the Vitro manufacturing facility for use as cooling water. Both the NSRRF and WFRRF utilize wastewater effluent for on-site irrigation, reducing the need for potable water.The City also has the ability to use reuse water from the WFRRF for irrigation purposes at nearby Williams Park, 3.6.5 Landscape Water Management The City has an existingordinance(Appendix E)which includes permanentwaterconservation measures that are effective at all times.These measures include the following landscape watering restrictions that make it unlawful to: • Run outside spray-type irrigation on any day of the week between 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. unless one is usinga hand-held hose that is equipped with a positive shut-off nozzle,soaker hose, bucket,watering can,bubbler ordrip irrigation system. • Fail to repair a controllable leak, including but not limited to a broken sprinkler head,a broken pipe or a leaking valve. • Operate an irrigation system with a broken or missing head,or a headthat is out of adjustment and the arc of the spray head is over a street,parking area,or other impervious surface, • Allow waterflow duringirrigation that runs,flows,or streams in a waythat extends a distance of 100 feet or greater from the area being irrigated. • Operate a soaker hose,bubbleror drip irrigation system in a mannerthat causes the delivery of more water than the hose,bubbler,or system was intended by the manufacturer to deliver,or that allows water to run far a distance of five feet or greater from the area being irrigated. The City may implement furtherlandscape water restrictions depending on the current drought stage conditions,These restrictions are outlined in the City's Drought Contingency Plan. 3.6.6 Conservation Programs for industrial,Commercial,and Institutional Accounts April 2024 27 PAGE 34 OF 213 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.0 Water Conservation Plan AJ /�ke FA- City of Wichita Falls /G !d as The City will work closely with its Industrial,Commercial,and Institutional(ICI)water users to track their water use and look for ways to conserve water.Water conservation efforts for Industrial and Mining use are described in Section 5.0. 3.6.7 Advanced Metering Infrastructure The City has fully upgraded its water meters to an AMI system.The main components of the AM I system include: • Equipment enabling meters to be read remotely rather than physically; • A communications network delivering the meter data to a central database;and • Software systems allowing City staff and customers to view water usage data collected from the AMI smart meters. The AM I system allows both the City and its customers to seethe water usage data on a minute-by-minute basis,rather than j ustthe 30-day usage summary available with the City's previous positive displacement system.This gives the City and its customers the ability to detect irregularities in water usage much earlier, which can help reduce the volume of water lost to leaks or other causes of water loss. Every customer can access their AM I data through an online portal called"MyH2O."Through the portal, customers can monitor their water usage and set up text or email alerts to be sent if their water usage exceeds a certain daily,weekly,or monthly usage amount set by the customer.The MyH2O system will notify the customer within 24 hours of exceeding their set water usage limit. The system also has a vacation alert setting that allows customers to set limits based on specific dates and notify them if their water usage is higher than expected when they are not home using water.The MyH2O dashboard allows users to see theircurrent water bill cycle,the previous month,and a comparison to previous years usage. Water use data can be viewed in increments of 24 hours,seven days,30 days,or by specific dates.The data is available in gallons,cubic feet,orCCF,and can be downloaded in multiple formats.Users can also add multiple meters under one account and give them custom nicknames.The City has information and resources about the AM I system and the MyH2O portal available on its website. The City's Mil system supports water conservation by allowing customers to view their daily water usage online.This helps keep customers more aware of their water use and how their habits affecttheirwater bill.Usingthe detailed wateruse data that AMI provides,the City can better manage its water system by identifying and responding to issues sooner. More frequent data analysis such as comparing produced April 2024 28 PAGE 35 OF 213 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.0 Water Conservation Plan Ak l/�4�r�5 City of Wichita Falls r�ras water volumes to metered water volumes sold to customers could help the City identify and address sources of water loss. 3.6.8 Additional Permanent Water Conservation Measures In addition to the permanent landscape watering measures described in Section.3.6.5, the City's water conservation ordinance includes permane nt water conservation measuresfor several other typesof water uses that are effective at all times.These use types include: • Car washing; • Restaurants/Bars/Clubs/School Cafeterias; • Ice machines;and • Hate Is/Motels/Short-Term Lodging. The full ordinance with the permanent water conservation measures is provided in Appendix E. 3.7 ADOPTION OF WATER CONSERVATION PLAN;PERIODIC REVIEW AND UPDATE OF PLAN Opportunityfor public comment on the Plan was provided at a City of Wichita Falls City Council meeting on April 16, 2024. Appendix E contains a copy of the minutes of the April 16, 2024 City Council meeting at which this Water Conservation Plan was adopted. TCEQ requires that water conservation plans be reviewed and,if necessary,updated everyfive years to coincide withthe regional waterplanningprocess.This Water Conservation Plan was updated as required by TCEQ and will be continually reassessed for opportunitiesto improvewaterefficiency and conservation based on new or updated information. 4.0 WATER CONSERVATION PLAN FOR WHOLESALE WATER SUPPLIERS 4.1 DESCRIPTION OF WHOLESALE SERVICE AREA The wholesale service area includes multiple wholesale customers.Most customers purchase onlytreated water;however,three customers purchase only raw water,and two customers have purchased both raw and treated water in the past five years(Wichita Valley Water Supply Corporation(W5C)and Red River Authority).Table 4-1 shows each wholesale customer andtheir annual contract amounts with City.Figure April 2024 29 PAGE 36 OF 213 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.0 Water Conservation Plan ), fl a (�S City of Wichita Falls IG r Kos 4-1 shows a map of the City's wholesale water service area.The City's wholesale customers account for about 20%of the total raw water demand.

The City of Wichita Falls(City)filed an application for water use permit no,13404 for Lake Ringgold with TCEQ Doi une27,2017, and TCEQ declared the application administratively complete on August 10,2017_ TCEQ completed its technical review of the application on August 8,2019. A contested case hearing on the application was held in August 2023.The application is now under consideration for approval by TCEQ, Lake Ringgold is a proposed reservoir with a surface area of 35,500 acres located in Clay County,Texas_ The proposed dam would be located on the Little Wichita River,approximately0.5 miles upstream of its confluence with the Red River and would impound275,000 acre-feet(ac-ft)of waterat the normal pool elevation of 844 feet-mean sea level(msl)_The proposed project would include construction of the Lake Ringgold dam,intake pump station and a transmission system to move the water to the City.The water would be treated at an existing water treatment plant.This appendix addresses the requirementsof 30 TAC§288.7(a)for the Lake Ringgold water use permit application. April 2024 F-1 PAGE 99 OF 213 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.0 Water Conservation Plan—Appendix F City of Wichita Falls t�•R ' Consideration of Water Conservation Goals -Z8117(A)(1) The City provides water to its retail custamersand 16 wholesale customers.TheCity's wholesale service area includes portions of Archer,Clay,Wichita,and Young Counties_Accardingto population projections for the upcoming 2026 Region B Water Plan,the City will be providing water to a total estimated population of over 148,000 by 2030.As a Major Water Provider identified in the Region B Water Plan,the City has made significant efforts to promote water conservation and efficiency in recent years_Water conservation is especially important to the City given its experience during the recentdroughtof record. From 2011-2015,the Wichita Falls area experienced a severe drought that caused water levels in the City's water supply reservoirs to drop to record lows. In response,the City enacted extreme water use restrictions through its Drought Contingency Plan(DCP)and even added a fifth,more restrictive drought stage.The City reduced its water use to 50 percent of its typical average through aggressive water conservation and drought stage measures.Despite these efforts,the City's reservoirsdeclined to a record low level of 14 percent combined capacity_The most recent d rough tof record ended in 7015,but the City must find an additional water supply to better prepare the City's water resources for the next drought. Achieving Highest Practicable Levels of Conservation and Efficiency The City's Water Conservation Plan MCP)includes a variety of different water con se rvation programs and measures the City has currently implemented.The City continues to look far new ways to improve its water conservation and efficiency. The City's waterconservation efforts go above and beyond the minimum State requirements it must meet as both a public and wholesale water provider.Accord ingto 30 TAC§288.2,the minimum requirements far public water providers with populations over 5,000 are: • Utility profile; • Monitoring and record managing program; • Specification of quantifiable conservation goals;. • Accurate metering program; • Universal metering program; • Determination and control of water losses; • Public education and information program; • Non-promotional water rate structure;. • Reservoir systems operation plan; • Means for implementing and enforcing the plan; April 2024 F-2 PAGE 100 OF 213 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.0 Water Conservation Plan—Appendix F 4i47•flS City of Wichita Falls • Coordination with associated regional water planning groups; • Leak detection,repair,and water loss accounting; • Requirement that new wholesale customers develop a water conservation plan;and • Review and update of plan every five years. In addition to these requirements for public water suppliers,the City must also meet the minimum requirements for wholesale water suppliers listed in 30TAC§288.5,which are: • Description of the wholesaler's service area; • Specification of quantifiable conservation goals; • Description of the means to measure the amount of water from a source; • Monitoring and record managing program; • Metering,leak detection,and repair program; • Requirement that wholesale customers must develop and implement a water conservation plan that incorporates the measures in the wholesale water provider plan; • Reservoir systems operation plan; • Means for implementing and enforcing the plan; • Coordination with associated regional water planning groups;and • Review and update of plan every five years. The City's WCP also addresses the minimum requirements for industrial or mining use because its water right permits include the option to divert water for industrial and mining use.According to 30 TAC§288.3, the minimum requirements for industrial and mining use are: • Description of water use; • Specification of quantifiable conservation goals; • Description of the means to measure the amount of water diverted from a source; • Metering,leak detection,repair,and water loss accounting program; • State of the art equipment and processes to improve efficiency;and • Review and update of plan every five years. The City's WCP also addresses the minimum requirements for agricultural use because its water right permits include the option to divert waterfor agricultural use.According to 30 TAC§288.4, the minimum requirements for industrial and mining use are: • Suppliers system inventory; • Specification of quantifiable conservation goals; • Description of the means to measure the amount of water diverted from a source: April 2024 F-3 PAGE 101 OF 213 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.0 Water Conservation Plan—Appendix F W411, City of Wichita Falls F�+[ •. •r; 6+mty-r.nrs • Monitoring and record managing program; • Metering,leak detection,and repair; • Customer assistance program for on-farm waterconservation and pollution prevention plans; • Requirement that wholesale customers must develop and implement a waterconservation plan that incorporates the measures In the wholesale water provider plan; • Official adoption of the plan; • Coordination with associated regional water planning groups;and • Review and update of plan every five years. The City's WCP meets the minimum requirements listed above and includes additional conservation strategies that the City has implemented to achieve a greater level of water conservation_These additional strategies include: • A Conservation Coordinator to manage the City's waterconservation program and update of the WCP and DCP; • The City's Water Resources Commission made up of citizen volunteers responsible for recommending water conservation strategies and reviewing the WCP update every five years; • A plumbing code that encourages water-conserving plumbing fixtures; • Water reuse efforts including indirect potable and direct non-potable reuse; • Landscape water management measures; • Advanced Metering Infrastructure(AMI)system;and • Permanent conservation measures for the following water use types: Car washing; _r Restaurants/Bars/Clubs/School Cafeterias; Ice machines;and Hote Is/Motels/Short-Term Lodging_ Each of these measures is described in Section 3.6 of the City's WCP.A list of all municipal and wholesale Best Management Practices(RMPs)currently implemented by the City is provided in Section 3.3.1 of the WCP. The City achieves additional waterconservation and efficiency through its water reuse program_The City implemented an indirect potable reuse(IPR)system in 2018 to transport wastewater effluent from the Wichita Fails Resource Recovery Facility(WFRRF)to Lake Arrowhe ad.This treated wastewater effluent is blended with the existing Lake Arrowhead water supply for future municipal use by the City and its wholesale customers_The IPR system can supply up to 8 MGD per day (8,958 ac-ft/year)to Lake Arrowhead that would otherwise be discharged into the Wichita River downstream of the City's water April 2024 F 4 PAGE 102 OF 213 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.0 Water Conservation Plan—Appendix F (rUlGit7►w �� City of Wichita Falls s,a gym ,ti r� supply system and become unavailable_The 1PR system reduces the demand for new water on Lake Arrowhead and the Little Wichita River system,which includes Lake Kickapoo.The City's IPR system received the 2019 Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Award from the Texas Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers and has been recognized for excellence by several organizations, including the Texas Municipal League,the Water Environment Association of Texas,the Texas Public Works Association,and the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency.The water supplies realized from the City's IPR program must be blended and are significantly reduced during drought stage restrictions. Thus, while the City is proud of its reuse efforts,it must factor these limitations into its water supply planning efforts Conservation Water Savings Realized by the City Through the strategies listed above as well as an increased awareness and appreciation of the City's water resources following the worst years of the drought of record(2011-2015),the City is on pace to achieve its water conservation goals from the 2019 WCP and the new 2024 WCP.The City's goals for total and residential per capita water use in gallons per capita perday(GPCD)are shown in Table F-1 below.Figure F-1 below shows the City's total and residential per capita water use from before,during,and followeig the 2011-2015 d rought.The total per capita water use has remained below pre-drought le ve Is.The City's five-year average(2019-2023)'was 105 GPCD for total water use and 66 GPCD for residential water use.

Water demand projections for the upcoming 2026 Region R Water Plan show the City's total demand,including wholesale customer contractual demand,to be nearly 31,200 ac-ft/year in 2030,and nearly 32,500 ac-ft/yr in 2080. The City is also projected to have an additional 13,880 ac-ft/year of demand for Lake Kemp water from industrial customers in Wilbarger County.The water supply for this demand comes from its Lake Kemp water right permit for industrial use that its shares jointly with WCWID#2.Draft water supply estimates far the upcoming 2026 Region B Water Plan show the City will havea water shortage of nearly 2,600 ac- ft/year in 2030 and nearly 9,750 ac-ft/year in 2080 to meet its retail and wholesale demands.The 2026 Region B Water Plan draft estimates also shows a shortage of nearly 7,060 ac-ft/yearin 2030 and nearly 8,680 ac-ft/year in 2080to meet industrial demands in Wilbarger County from Lake Kemp. Water supply savings through conservation have not yet been estimated for the 2026 Region B Water Plan,but the 2021 Region 6 Water Plan estimated that water conservation would provide just 340 ac- ft/year of additional supplies for the City in 2030 and 884 ac-ft/year in 2080. These additional supplies would only account fora small fraction of the projected water needs far the City.Additional strategies will be required to provide the City with additional water supplies to meet its projected water needs. Feasible Alternatives to New Water Development- 288.7(a)(3) During the most severe years of the recent drought of record(2011-2015), the City recognized that even with extreme water use restrictions during drought stages, its current water supplies would not be sufficient to meet its long-term future water needs if a similar or more intense drought occurred in the future.The City developed a Long Range Water 5upply Plan(LRWSP)in 2015 to evaluate potential future water supply options.The LRWSP considered many new water supply strategies,and after an initial screening of 22 strategies,the City selected 12 strategies for further evaluation.The City's evaluation of the selected strategies considered several factors,including water quantity, water quality, reliability, regulatory requirements, environmental impacts, potential cost, time to implement, development obstacles,supply independence,and competition for water supply. Of these factors,water quantity, reliability,and potential cost were selected to have a greater weight in the analysis.

The other strategiesabove were determined to not provide sufficient water to meet the projected water need or the water supplies were too uncertain and/or expensive_ The 2021 Region B Water Plan estimates the proposed reservoir would provide the City with 23,450 ac- f tfyear of additional water supply.This additional supply would meet the City's projected future municipal water supply needs,and potentially make more supply from Lake Kemp available for industrial use to help meet the projected needs of the City's industrial wholesale customers. The discussion in this section focuses on the potential alternative strategies to the Lake Ringgold project that have not already been implemented by the City.The IPR and water conservation strategies are not discussed as alternatives to Lake Ringgold because both strategies have been implemented_Descriptons of the potential project alternatives are presented below.All these alternatives were evaluated as part of the LRWSP, and some strategies were also evaluated during the Lake Ringgold water use permit April 2024 F-S PAGE 106 OF 213 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.0 Water Conservation Plan—Appendix F G • kf� City of Wichita Falls �� +�•�• application process,and In the 2021 Region B Water Plan_A summary of the potential strategies and its feasibility as alternatives to the Lake Ringgold project is shown in Table F-3.

A comparison of the capital and unit casts for the alternative strategies,including Lake Ringgold,is shown on Table F-4and on Figure F-2.Capital cost,unit cost($per 1,000 gallons)with debt service,and unit cost without debt service were estimated for each alternative strategy in the LRWSP.These costs were presented in September2014 dollars_Cost estimates for the Lake Ringgold, Groundwater HFS.I, and Wichita River Supply strategies were developed and published In the 2021 Region B Water Plan.These costs were presented in September 2018 dollars. To allow for more accurate cost comparison between the potential strategies,cost estimates for the strategies from the LRWSP without cost estimates from the 2021 Region B Water Plan were updated from September 2014 to September 2018 to account for increased cost during the four-year period.September 2014 costs were increased by 13%to match the increase in the Engineering News Record Construction Cost index (CCI) from September 2014 to September 2018.The conjunctive use strategy cost was updated using the 2021 Region B costs for the two components(Groundwater HFSJ and Wichita River Supply).A comparison of the potential available water supply for each strategy is shown in Table F-5.

Due to the unknown reliability of the groundwater supply,the strategy would need to be phased with continuous onsite evaluation conducted as additional wells are developed.The Seymour Aquifer is unconfined,meaning the water supply is dependent upon direct recharge and maybe lessduring drought. The strategy has one of the highest unit costs of water among the potential strategies_The re are also potential environmental impacts associated with the discharge of RO concentrate into the Wichita River. The City would need to negotiate with landowners for groundwater rights and property acquisition and obtain a RO discharge permit from TCEQ_ The Groundwaterfrom HFSJ strategy is not a feasible alternative to the Lake Ringgold project because it does not provide ethamount of water needed,the long-term reliability of the supply is unknown,and the unit Lost of water is much higher. Groundwater from Wilbarger County This strategy includes the development of groundwater supply wells in the Seymour Aquifer along the Red River in northwestern Wilbarger County.Groundwater from each well would be conveyed via a 75- mile transmission pipeline to the Cypress WTP in the City for enhanced treatment due to the poor water quality (elevated total dissolved solids and nitrates),The Cypress WTP would potentially need to be expanded to treat the additional water supply from this strategy. This strategy would provide the City with an estimated 5 MGD or 5,600 ac-ft/year of additional water supply.The groundwatersupply was determined to be moderately reliable based on historical data,but the water table at the proposed site would need to be continually monitored andevaluated on an annual basis,and especially during periods of drought.It may also be difficult to identify sufficient groundwater resources to produce 5,600 ac-ftJyear.Based on the Modeled Available Groundwater(MAG)estimates, nearly all the groundwater in Wilbarger County is currently used by existing users,and there are no known water right holders in Wilbarger County willing to sell groundwater to the City. Groundwater from this source is currently being heavily used for agricultural irrigation purposes,so the City would be facing competition from the agricultural community for this water supply. April 2024 F-14 PAGE 112 OF 213 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.0 Water Conservation Plan—Appendix F W C �-�irs, City of Wichita Falls r�I! The Groundwater from Wilbarger County strategy is not a feasible alternative to the lake Ringgold project because it does not meet the projected need,the amount and reliability is uncertain due to high competition for the groundwater supply,and the unit cost of water is high. Groundwater from Roberts County This strategy includes the development of groundwater supply wells in the Ogallala Aquifer in eastern Roberts County and southern Lipscomb County.Since this strategy was evaluated for the City's LRWSP, the City of Amarillo has secured water rights fora considerable portion of the groundwater supplies in Roberts County_This means the information from the LRWSP strategy evaluation is no longer accurate, and the potential watersupply available to the City through this strategy has significantly decreased size it was originally evaluated.The premise of thisstrategy is that the City could secure sufficient water rights in Roberts County(and possibly Lipscomb County)to provide 24 MG Dfor at least 100 years.However,the Canadian River Water Authority(CRMWA)holds nearly 457,000 acres of water rights and Amarillo holds over 82,800 acres of water rights in Roberts County.The total amountof available groundwater in Roberts County is approximately 455,000 acre-feet.Between CRMWA and Amarillo's water right holdings and local needs,there is little to no groundwater available to the City.This strategy is not a feasible alternative water supply to Lake Ringgold. Groundwater from Donley County and/or Gray County This strategy includes the development of groundwater supply wells in the Ogallala Aquifer in eastern Donley and Gray Counties.The strategy assumes the wellscould provide 15 MGDor 16,800 ac-ft/yearaf additional water supply to the City for at least 100 years.Collection lines would transport the pumped groundwater to storage facilities,then the groundwater would gravity flow via a 185-mile transmission pipeline directly into the City's existing storage facilities in the City. Based on historical data,the water quality from the Ogallala Aquifer in the two counties will likely meet regulatory requirements but require disinfection prior to distribution. The City would need to identify landowners in the area willing to sell its land for groundwater development or purchase water from landowners with existing groundwater rights.Currently there are no known willing sellers. Greenbelt Municipal and Industrial Water Authority has recently secured groundwater rights in Donley County and would be competing for supplies with the City_The distance between the water supply and the City also presents challenges associated with development of the April 2024 F-15 PAGE 113 OF 213 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.0 Water Conservation Plan—Appendix F 6114 i'4 ■ g City afWichita Falls _ transmission system for this strategy_Routing the 1a5-mile transmission pipeline and purchasing the required easements will be a challenge for the City,and costs will be substantial. Additional studies are required to validate the long-term supply availability of groundwater.The City would also need to obtain approval from the Panhandle Groundwater Conservation District (PGCD)who manages the Ogallala Aquifer in the two counties before developing any wells in the area. The Groundwater from Donley and/or Gray County strategy is not a feasible alternative to the Lake Ringgold project because there is uncertainty of the long-term supply,the capital cost and unit cost of water are nearly twice the cost of Lake Ringgold, and there is uncertainty regarding the difficulty of acquiring the land and water rights required far this strategy_ Groundwater from Denton County This strategy includes the development of groundwater supply wells in the Trinity Aquifer in northwest Denton County.When the strategy was originally evaluated for the LRWSP,it was assumed there would be a substantial amount of available groundwater in the area_However,based on current and projected future usage and MAG estimates for the Trinity Aquifer in Denton County,it is highly unlikely that new groundwater of any significant quantity could be permitted in Denton County. The strategy originally assumed the City could develop up to 15 MGD of groundwater supplies from the area for a long-term reliable water supply.At the time of evaluation,it was determined that the amount of groundwater available for permitting was likely much less than 15 MGD, based on the Modeled Available Groundwater(MAGI and Desired Future Conditions(DFCs)from the North Texas Groundwater Conservation District(NTGCD).The available supply for new permits is likely even lower now. To developthis supply,the City would need to identify landowners in the area willing to sell their land for groundwater development or purchase water from landowners with existing groundwater rights.The City would also need to obtain approval from the NTGCDwho managesthe Trinity Aquifer in Denton County before developing any wells in the area.With the competition for groundwater in the county,the long- term reliability is uncertain and authorized pumping may be subject to reductions to meet the DFC. The Groundwaterfrom Denton County strategy is not a feasible alternative to the Lake Ringgold project because of the uncertainty of the availability and reliability of the supply based on current groundwater usage and MAG estimates. April 2024 F-16 PAGE 114 OF 213 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.0 Water Conservation Plan—Appendix F 4;144City of Wichita Falls R S Wichita River Sum* This strategy includes the direct diversion of water supplies from the Wichita River,just upstream of the City's Cypress WTP.The water would be pumped directly to the Cypress WTP for treatment.The City's joint water right with WCWID i#2 for Lake Kemp allows diversion of up to 16,500 ac-ft/year(14.8 MGD) for irrigation purposes from the Wichita River.Currently,there is no infrastructure in place to use the supply for irrigation purposes_This strategy assumes the Lake Kemp water right would be amended to allow the permitted supply from the Wichita River to be used for municipal purposes from a different diversion point j ust upstream of the Cy press WTP discharge location.This strategy was evaluated forbad" the LRWSP and the 2021 Region B Water Plan_ Currently there is very little unappropriated water in the Wichita River basin.There is an instream flow bypass requirement associated with the Lake Kempwaterright for the Wichita River supply. Considering the limitations associated with moving the diversion point downstream and the bypass requirement, there is little reliable supply from the Wichita River for this strategy.The strategy was designed fort MGD for the LRWSP to provide supplemental water supply to the City when there was adequate flow in the river_ However,the most recent version of the TCEQ Red River Basin Water Availability Model(WAM) shows a minimumavailable supply of about 725 ac-ft/year during the recent droughtof record.Basedon an analysis of the historical flows at the Wichita Falls gage,it appearsthat the base flow in the river may be dependent on upstream overflowsand return flows from WCWID#2_Reduction of irrigation through curtailment or conservation strategies may reduce the reliable flows in the river. Flows measured at the Wichita Falls gage after 2009 also include discharges from the Cypress WTP.The assumed available supply for this strategy was 400 ac-ft/year(0.36 MGD). The Wichita River Supply strategy is not a feasible alternative to the Lake Ringgold project because the supply is not sufficient to meet the City's future water needs,there is uncertainty with the reliability of the water supply,and the unit cost of water is very high. Conjunctive Use-5uppiies in Wichita County This strategy is a combination of two previously discussed strategies:Ground HFSJ and Wichita River Supply.The two strategies were evaluated togetherand designed for conjunctive use in the City's LRWSP. The combined strategy would allow the City to use surface water when available from the Wichita River, and reserve the groundwater for times when there is less surface water available.The strategy assumes April 2024 F-17 PAGE 115 OF 213 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.0 114 Water Conservation Plan-Appendix F fL 1� City of Wichita Falls try R S Sir LA-1:4,yTrnpr^r. each component could provide 2 MGD for a total of 4 MGD of water supply_ However,a more recent evacuation of the local groundwater supply strategy from the 2021 Region B Water Plan estimated the available supply to be only 1 MG0.The is some uncertainty regarding the long-term reliability of the groundwater supply_The Wichita River supply would be very limited during periods of drought. Due to the different length of time,it may take to develop both componentsof this strategy,itis assumed that the strategy is developed in stages_The groundwater component would be developed first,followed by the Wichita River supply,trategy component_Instead of treating the groundwateron-siteasdiscussed in the Groundwat-r iJr''S1;t r,:e=•}+,,i --r trr.ttrnentfacility would be relocated to the City's Jasper WTP. The Wichita River water supply ti.eould also be pumped to the Jasper WTP_The Wichita River supply component would require achannel dam,pumpstation,and transmission pipeline to move diverted river water to the WTP.The water quality from both sources is poor,so advanced treatment would be needed to treat the combined water supply. Other development impacts and obstacles associated with this conjunctive use strategy are the same as described for the individual strategies. The Conjunctive Use-Supplies in Wichita County strategy is not a feasible alternative to the Lake Ringgold project because the amount of water supply is not sufficient to meet the City's future water needs,and there is uncertainty with the reliability of the water supply. Lake Texoma Water This strategy assumes that the City enters into an agreement with an existing water right holder to purchase water from Lake Texoma and transport it to the City. Raw water from Lake Texoma would be transported via a 120-mile transmission pipeline to the City's Cypress WTP for treatment.The strategy would requirethe City to expand the RCS treatment capacity at the Cypress WTP.The strategy would also require the City to construct an intake structure at Lake Texoma to divert the water. Storage in Lake Texoma is allocated to both Texas and Oklahoma.Texas has permitted nearly all its share of the reservoir's storage.The LRWSP identified the City of Denison and Greater Texoma Utility Authordy as existing water rights holders that could potentially be willing to sell water to the City.However,both entities do not have sufficient supplies to meet the needs of their existing customers.It is highly unlikely these two entities would be willing to sell any Lake Texoma water to the City. Red River Authority also owns wate r rights in Lake Texoma,but the available quantity is less than the amount needed by the City_ Oklahoma is currently using only a small portion of its allocated supply from Lake Texoma,If Oklahoma April 2024 F-18 PAGE 116 OF 213 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.0 Water Conservation Plan-Appendix F W 7�ffS City of Wichita Falls r •. began using more of Its supply,there would be additional competition for Lake Texoma water supplies. The 2015 LRWSP estimated the potential available supply from this strategy was 15 MGD or 16,800 ac- ft/year forat least SO years.The distance between the water supply and the City also presents challenges associated with development of the transmission system for this strategy. Routing the 120-mile transmission pipeline and purchasing the required easements will be a challenge for the City,and costs will be substantial. The Lake Texoma strategy is not a feasible alternative to the Lake Ringgold project because there is no willing seller of the water and the high unit cost of water. Lake Btidaeoart Water This strategy assumes that the City entersinto an agreement withTarrant Regional Water District(TRWD) to purchase water from Lake Bridgeport and transport the water to Lake Arrowhead.The strategy would include construction of an intake pump station,two booster pump stations,and a 75-mile transmission pipeline_Lake Bridgeport water would be stored in Lake Arrowhead,then pumped via the City's existeg transmission system at Lake Arrowheadto the City's secondary reservoir,and eventually to be treated at the City's two WTPs. The water from Lake Bridgeport is anticipated to be of similar quality to Lake Arrowhead,making it compatible for storage there. VVIt r tli+ strd:egywas evaluated for the 2015 LRWSP, previous discussions with TRWD indicated that there would be up to 15 MGDor 16,800 ac•ft/yearof available supply from Lake Bridgeport during normal rainfall years.During periods of drought,TRWD would not allow the City to divert any water from Lake Bridgeport once the water falls below a certain level set by TRWD.So,it is anticipated that this strategy would not benefit the City during drought conditions. Currently,Lake Bridgeport is fully contracted to existing customers with requests for water from other nearby water providers.TRWD is unable to fulfill all the contract requests within its current service area. The Lake Bridgeport strategy is not a feasible alternative to the Lake Ringgold project because TRWD has fully committed the water to otherusers,and TRWD is unwilling to sell water to the City during drought. Lake Kemp Water Ri'htAmendment The water right for Kemp,Certification of Adjudication 02-5123, authorizes diversion and use of up to 193,000 acre-feet per year(172 MG D)for multiple purposes,which is significantly more than the available yield of the reservoir.Of this amount,25,150 acre-feet per year(22 MGD)is for municipal and 40,000 April 2024 F-19 PAGE 117 OF 213 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.0 Water Conservation Plan—Appendix F kit*as. City of Wichita Falls •. atre-feet peryear(36 MGD)for industrial purposes_The water right also includes the option to divert up to 16,660 acre-feetper year(15 MG D)of the 120,000 acre-feet per year authorized for irrigation directly from the Wichita Rive rdownstream of the reservoir.This s trale gy would amend the Lake Kemp permit to change individual use amounts to multiple purposes,which could provide a greater portion of the allocated water rights to the City if the water is available. When the strategy wasevaluated forthe 2015 LRWSP,the recent draught of record was ongoing,and the estimated available supply from Lake Kemp was 44,600 ac-ft/year(40 MG D).Now that the drought of record has ended,and a new version of the TCEQ Red River WAM has been released,the estimated available supply from Lake Kemp is 32,900 ac-ft/year(29 MG D)in 2030, which includes a 20 percent reserve supply in the lake during the drought of record,as required for operational purposes.This is the reserve supply used for planning purposesby the Region B Regional Water Planning Group.The amount of this available to the City formunicipal purposes would be 3,350 ac-ft/year(3 MG D)or about 10 percent of the totalsupply.This volume assumes treatment losses of 25 percent associated with the RD treatment required to use Lake Kemp water for municipal purposes.This strategy considers several elements designed to protect the City's ability to divert an annual average of 10 MG D from the reservoir as long as possible. These elements include: • Changing the operation of Lake Kemp to prevent excessive use during drought. • Obtaining additional supplies from the reservoir from other users as existing contracts expire or through direct purchase. • Implementation of irrigation conservation measures(this portion of the strategy may impact Wichita River supplies if that strategy is also implemented). The strategy indudesa 10 MGD expansion of the Cypress WTP to be able to treat the additional supplies from Kemp with advanced treatment This strategy was originally evaluated for the 2015 LRWSP.Since then,several factors have introduced additional uncertainty with this strategy.The worst years of the most recent drought of record(2011- 2015)have concluded,and the reliable supply of Lake Kemp for planningpurposes is now lower than what was assumed for this strategy.The City has also agreed to sell additional Lake Kemp water from the industrial waterright allocation to a new industrial facility in Wilbarger County under its existing contract with the dklaunion PowerGeneration Facility.This agreement had not been finalized when this strategy April 2024 F-20 PAGE 118 OF 213 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.0 Water Conservation Plan—Appendix F /'/ 7Rfl5 City of Wichita Falls q,. ,T,[C . was originally evaluated for the LRW5P_Another major obstade for the City with this strategy would be negotiating with existing water users to purchase its Lake Kemp water rights, and/or changing the operations of the reservoir. The Lake Kemp Water Right Amendment strategy is not a feasible alternative to the Lake Ringgold project because changes in operation would significantly impact agricultural and industrial uses, making agreements unlikely_The estimated available supply for water supply planning purposes is lower than when the strategy was last evaluated,which further limits the available supply from this strategy.The Lake Kemp Amendment isnota feasible alternative to Lake Ringgold because it cannot meet the projected need during drought,there is significant competition for water from Lake Kemp,and there are concerns of its usability during drought due to very poor water quality and water loss during treatment. Conclusion Based on the information and analysis of the strategies discussed above,there are no feasible alternatives to the Lake Ringgold project that could provide enough reliable watersupply to meetthe City's projected water needs.The strategies theCity has currently implemented,including waterconservation and indirect potable reuse,are insufficient to meet the City's water needs_The Lake Ringgold project is the only feasible water supply strategy available to the City.

The total objective is to extend the water supply from all supply reservoirs to the fullest extent possible. In 2018, the City implemented an indirect potable reuse(IPR)system to transport treated wastewater effluent from the Wichita Falls Resource Recovery Facility(WFRRF)to Lake Arrowhead for future water supply use.The IPR system is permitted to supply up to 16 MGD per day. Currently the IPR system is supplying an average of 8 MG D to Lake Arrowhead which would otherwise be discharged into the Wichita Riverdownstream of the City's watersupply system and become unavailable.The IPRsystemreducesthe demand for new water on Lake Arrowhead and the Little Wichita River system which includes Lake Kickapoo.Through the IPR system,the City can artificially maintain the storage levels in Lake Arrowhead to help preserve the quantity and quality of the water supply. The City constructed the Reverse Osmosis(RO)facility at the Cypress Water Treatment Plant(WTP)to developthe Lake Kemp system into a drinking water supply. The RO plant was designed to provide up to 10 million gallons(MG)of drinkingwater each day(approximately 13%of totaltreatment capacity),which is the amount required to sustain basic sanitary needs during a summer drought condition. Therefore, because the RO treatment capacity is such a small contributor to the overall City treatment capacity,the City has elected not to utilize the Lake Kemp storage capacity in its calculation for the triggering of the various drought stages. The City determined this was a more conservative approach to maintaining an adequate supply of source water for the citizens of the City. The purpose of this DCP is as follows: • To conserve the available water supply in times of drought and emergency; + To maintain supplies for domestic water use,sanitation,and fire protection; • To protect and preserve public health,welfare,and safety; April2024 1 PAGE 123 OF 213 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.0 Drought Contingency Plan A•/i �r�� City of Wichita Falls IG !das <rcg,,om- • To minimize the adverse impacts of water supply shortages;and • To minimize the adverse impacts of emergency water supply conditions.

MAYOR ATTEST: City Clerk PAGE 3 OF 3 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.B CITY COUNCIL AGENDA April 16, 2024 ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the City Manager or designee to apply for the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) from the Department of Energy (DOE) to fund Neighborhood Revitalization efforts in reducing the energy burden and cost to residents due to aging housing stock in the Central Wichita Falls Revitalization Area (CWFRA). INITIATING DEPT: Development Services - Planning Division STRATEGIC GOAL: Provide Quality Infrastructure STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Develop a Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan and Program COMMENTARY: The Planning Division is seeking approval to apply to the Department of Energy (DOE) for $155,000 in Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants (EECBG) to create a program to reduce energy use and improve the energy efficiency of aging homes in the Central Wichita Falls Revitalization Area (CWFRA). The grant and allowable energy improvements for residential and/or commercial properties would benefit the individual property owners and the surrounding community. The DOE has allocated $155,000 to the City of Wichita Falls. There is no required match for the awarded grant. The proposed grant would enable staff to create an Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy Plan to achieve a goal of reducing energy use that would include: • Developing a building retrofit prioritization strategy for single-family homes in low- income neighborhoods; • Conduct energy audits that would identify home types that have the highest potential for savings from retrofits; • Establishment of financial incentive programs for energy efficiency improvements; • The provision of sub-grants to nonprofit organizations and governmental agencies to perform energy efficiency retrofits The upgrades and retrofits (i.e. construction improvements) allowed under the grants include any improvements covered under the energy audit, such as upgrades to the thermal envelope, weatherization, HVAC upgrades, and energy-efficient appliances. During the initial neighborhood revitalization meetings, residents identified the need to preserve their homes as a priority in the revitalization efforts. The preservation PAGE 1 OF 5 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.0 of these homes begins with improving the efficiency and ability of the structures to function for their residents by providing for their core needs without overextending a household's budget due to the range of heating and cooling costs. If the grant is awarded, staff will seek input and direction from the community through surveys and an ad hoc stakeholders committee (anticipated to be appointed by Council in May) to craft the program details and priorities. Staff recommend the approval of the resolution. ® Planning Manager ® Development Services Director ® Assistant City Manager ASSOCIATED INFORMATION: Resolution; Attachment A - CWFRA Area Map; Attachment B - CWFRA Building Stock Map ® Budget Office Review ® City Attorney Review ® City Manager Approval PAGE 2 OF 5 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.0 Resolution No. Resolution authorizing the City Manager or designee to apply for the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) from the Department of Energy (DOE) to fund Neighborhood Revitalization efforts in reducing the energy burden and cost to residents due to aging housing stock in the Central Wichita Falls Revitalization Area (CWFRA) WHEREAS, the City Council finds, through the adoption of the 2024 Strategic Planning Workshop report, it is in the best interest of the citizens of the Wichita Falls Revitalization Area (CWFRA) to provide quality infrastructure by developing a neighborhood plan and program, WHEREAS, the Central Wichita Falls Revitalization Area (CWFRA) has been identified as the initial neighborhood to begin efforts related to this Strategic Plan Objective; and, WHEREAS, the citizens of the CWFRA have voiced their desire to preserve their community's existing housing stock and culture through their participation in various community engagement meetings and surveys.
