2 . In a fifth and worst year of drought, the Water Committee
recommends implementing further measures in regard to water
conservation landscape requirements. One method would entail
the inclusion of single family residences in water-conserving
landscape requirements. An amended version of the ordinance
will be provided to the Water Committee prior to submission to
the Board. ,
3 . Supervisor Sunne McPeak (and the Water Committee) have
recommended that a Water Committee workshop be scheduled in
order to consider agricultural demand in terms of analysis of
soils and crops for further refinement of County Water Supply
policy.
4 . As a further conservation measure, the Water Committee wishes
to propose an ordinance to the Board restricting water uses
for construction purposes such as soil compaction, dust
control, and cement mixing activities. The Water Committee has
also recommended Community Development Department coordination
with water districts prior to submittal of an ordinance at the
next Water Committee meeting.
