Supervisor Tom Torlakson CJl
DATE'. March 20, 1989 County
SUBJECT: AB 2210 and Drought Issues
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
1 . Authorize letter to the Port of Oakland requesting support
of Assembly Bill 2210 regarding Bay Delta Protection, and
encouragement of Port lobbying efforts to help ensure
passage of this bill.
2. Direct the Building Inspection Department to distribute East
Bay Municipal Utility District drought landscaping
regulations .when they became available when issuing permits.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION%BACKGROUND
1. The Port of Oakland' s activities utilize the Bay waterways
to the economic benefit of the Bay Area. The Bay and Delta
are major resources of this region, and all parties, both
public and private, share responsibility in protection of
these resources. The Port of Oakland is currently proposing
a project which could impact water quality, therefore, they
should participate in efforts to protect water quality as
well.
2 . The East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMdD) recently
instituted regulations in which new water users may not use
East Bay Municipal Utility District water for outside use,
including landscaping or the filling of pools. This applies
to all applications for. service received beginning March 15,
1989. EBMUD does not expect this regulation to affect many
customers unless the drought continues, due to the year or
more time lag between the initial. application for service
and,-t,-he final water hook-ups in new developments. The Water
Committee acknowledges the need for this requirement in
light of the three-year drought period, and would assist in
implementation of ' this decision by distribution of these
regulations during the building permit process for
unincorporated areas within the East Bay Municipal Utility
District. The regulations are still being prepared by
EBMUD.
