Item 9c
ORDINANCE NO. 32-2013
Ordinance Amending Division 6 Of Article II Of Chapter 106 Of The Code OF Ordinances Of The City
Of Wichita Falls, To Establish Modified Water Conservation Drought Contingency Rules; Providing For
A Penalty Not To Exceed$2,000 Per Violation; And Providing For Codification
Moved by Councilor Ingle that Ordinance 32-2013 be approved.
Motion seconded by Councilor Smith.
Public Works Director reviewed the proposed Stage 4 restrictions.
Councilor Smith requested that Water Resources Committee, Council, and Staff look at the possibility
to continue watering trees and the Golf Course greens. We need to look a little bit more at the effluent and raw
water sources.
Councilor Hoover agreed that drinking water has to be our main concern but also agrees that we need
to look at the trees. He wanted to know what the Water Resources Commission's consideration was
regarding the large trees. I am not convinced that watering a tree is not the solution and it is an issue we need
to look at. We should prioritize the trees and the shrubs.
Councilor Ingle stated that 60 years ago there were no trees because this is desert and if we have a
drought they are not going to live; we have to let Mother Nature determine what will live. His recommendation
was no watering of trees, plants, or grass. The safety of the citizens is above the growth of trees. We are in a
disaster and I agree with the provisions the way they are.
Arnold Oliver, 2408 Merrimac, Water Resources Commission Chair, provided the thought process that
went into the proposed restrictions. Some of the areas discussed were: enforcement, definition of a tree, golf
courses were discussed at length and their value. However, in the end we want to be able to have drinking
water, sewer, and be able to wash clothes. He noted that there is no restriction on hauling water from the
waste water treatment plant. Watering the foundation with soaker hose is allowed.
Steve Smith, 2 Brass Lantern Court, agrees with Councilor Ingle and Councilor Hoover that we need to
maintain the water for drinking and washing. We need to cut off now any type of spray irrigation. 90% of the
landscape water is spray irrigation and it is not productive; allow drip irrigation to keep their landscape alive.
The only trees here that have a tap root are pecan and mesquite. The big mature trees can go without
watering for months but will die. Stop all outside spray irrigation but allow soaker hose irrigation to water trees.
Need to educate the public as to how to water a tree to keep it alive. No sprinklers only allow soaker hoses
and hand watering.
Public Works Director Schreiber believes that allowing watering of trees and greens is going in the
wrong direction. We have to restrict residential first then commercial and industry. The current ordinance does
state no outdoor watering.What you capture inside your home you can use outside.
David Brock, 310 Hilltop, provided information on how to save water from washing machines. He
spoke to water rates and surcharges in relation to Stage 4, and he does not think low income and elderly can
afford it. Surcharges are going to triple. The City has not been forthcoming with water surcharges. Bonds
were issued and to do that you need to keep the money at a certain level in order to pay for those bonds. If no
money was coming in, the water bonds will be in bad way. City should have been up front and provide the
citizens with the information. We can protect the integrity of the bond if you look at a quality of life issue like
Castaway Cove. He suggested putting a surcharge on every ticket sold at Castaway Cove and that would add
money to the Water Fund; surcharges would not be so high. We should make part of the funds from Castaway
Cove go to our Water Fund. I propose that the water that is coming out the back of Castaway Cove be used
for golf course greens. We need to look outside the box and look into this. Recycle this water for the golf
course.
Mayor informed that the surcharge was put in to encourage conservation and to penalize those who
could/would not conserve. If we have water coming out of Castaway Cove Mr. Hugman is going to look into
this.
Moved by Mayor Barham to amend Section (f) Stage4— Drought Disaster (1) Irrigation: a, to read as
follows a> It shall be unlawful to utilize any type of irrigation using potable water produced by the City of
Wichita falls that is distributed through the City's distribution system on any day at any time. This restriction
includes all forms of irrigation, including spray, bubbler, drip, hand-watering, etc.
Motion seconded by Councilor Pope and carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Barham, Councilors Smith, Hoover, Pope, Hooker, Ingle, and Ward
69
Item 9c continued
Nays: None
Cattie Jackson, Shade Tree Nursery& Landscaping, spoke about drip irrigation stating that if that is
allowed the bushes and landscape around homes will be saved. All the watering from April-July is not about
watering trees but maintaining moisture. Drip system maintains moisture and it is a small volume of water. It
would be a catastrophe to pull the plug now; you should wait until September 15 when the sap is down.
There are not only four big industry water users here, consider the green industry businesses as well. There
is not more larger industry than the green industry; we do$2-$3 million of work per year.
Charles Barr, 2100 Indian Heights, has seared on Water Resources Commission for 8 years, and
wanted to know what was going to happen with landscape requirement for new developments? Mayor
informed that there was a landscape waiver adopted by Council until Council returns to Stage 2 of the
Drought Plan.
Keith Cameron, 2620 Elmwood, likes the drip system and has not watered his trees and they are
green. The surcharge does not bother me because we do not water. She suggested changing the time to
water to 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m.
City Manager informed that the reason for time frame is that it could be 105 degrees and 8:00 p.m. to
midnight temperature is not as bad, evaporation issue.
Mayor commented that there has been talk about property values going down because f lack of
watering. He read description of appraisal provided by Wichita Appraisal District. .
Mayor asked that staff look into amending the original ordinance relating to stopping spray irrigation
and bring it back at next council meeting.
Steve Harris reiterated that the timing of the water shut off is a huge factor and asked that it be pushed
back into the fall.
Main motion as amended carried by the by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Barham, Councilors Smith, Hoover, Pope, Hooker, Ingle, and Ward
Nays: None
