Report Purpose: The purpose of this report is to present the Water Shortage Response Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 4378, 2013, for fourth and final reading, as amended. Strategic Goal: This report supports the corporate strategic goals of enhancing sustainability of City services and infrastructure, and achieving excellence in City governance.

2 Page 2 June 3, 2013 Executive Summary: At the May 13, 2013, Regular Council Meeting, Council considered a staff report related to water conservation program updates and gave the first three readings to the Water Shortage Response Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 4378, 2013 (Attachment l). Council also requested clarification related to the different stages of watering restrictions in the Bylaw as well as current statistics on water usage within Coquitlam. This report provides these details and recommends that Council give fourth and final reading, as amended, to Bylaw No. 4378, Background: The above-noted bylaw was given first, second and third readings at the May 13, 2013 Regular Council Meeting. Bylaw No. 4378, 2013 amends the Water Shortage Response Plan Bylaw No. 3701, 2005 (Attachment 2) by simplifying the enforcement procedures in the bylaw to ensure consistency with the City's regulatory bylaws. At this same Council Meeting, Council also requested clarification of Schedules 4 and 5 of Bylaw No. 3701, 2005 as related to Stage 3 and 4 water restrictions. Council also inquired whether non-potable water would be permitted to be used during Stage 3 and 4 restrictions and if there was a provision in the Bylaw to allow residents to water their lawns and gardens with water collected by rain barrels or other methods during these restrictions. In addition, Council requested current statistics related to per capita water usage. Discussion/Analysis: The City of Coquitlam works cooperatively with Metro Vancouver on water conservation initiatives and has a comprehensive water conservation outreach and enforcement program. The success of these regional and local programs has contributed to declining water consumption (along with changes to the Provincial plumbing code), which is monitored and documented annually by Metro Vancouver. Coquitlam's total (residential and industrial/commercial/institutional (ICI)) per capita consumption has been declining since its peak in the mid 1980s of 673 liters per capita per day (LPCD) to 377 LPCD in 2011, which is about 80% of the regional average of 471 liters LPCD. The 2012 data for daily consumption has been provided in draft form by Metro Vancouver and is estimated to be about 370 LPCD in Coquitlam.

3 Page 3 June 3, 2013 Successful initiatives that have contributed to declining water consumption include the regional Water Shortage Response Plan (WSRP) and Coquitlam's Water Shortage Response Plan Bylaw No. 3701, 2005, which was developed in accordance with the WSRP. The goals of these initiatives include reducing peak demands on drinking water during the summer months, conserving water in preparation for unforeseen emergency situations, reducing water system operating costs and deferring costs of new water supply infrastructure. The WSRP uses a staged approach, ranging from an initial standard level of water restrictions (Stage l) that is automatically implemented each summer season (June l - Sept. 30^^) through to the highest level of restrictions (Stage 4) intended for emergencies affecting the delivery of water. The Greater Vancouver Water District (GVWD) Commissioner is responsible for activating different stages of the WSRP and notifies member municipalities of the need for implementing or discontinuing each of the successive phases of the plan. Since the WSRP was originally adopted in 1993, it has been rare to activate water use restrictions beyond Stage 1. Stage 2 and 3 restrictions have only been implemented regionwide on one occasion in response to a 2003 drought and the region has never initiated the emergency level (Stage 4) of the restrictions. Overthe 20 summers from 1993 to 2012, Coquitlam has been at: Stage 1 for 2383 days (approx 97.7% of the time); Stage 2 for 17 days in 2003 (approxo.7% of thetime); and, Stage 3 for 40 days (approx. 1.6% of the time). In response to Council's comments at the May 13^'' Regular Council Meeting, the details in Schedule 4 and 5 of the Water Shortage Response Plan Bylaw No. 3701, 2005 have been amended to provide clarity and consistency of the Stage 3 and 4 water restrictions (see Attachment 1). The changes help clarify that the restrictions apply to watering with treated drinking water only and that washing of boats and motor vehicles is restricted to those features required for the purpose of safely operating the vehicle (e.g. lights, license plates and windows). In addition, the definition of "water" has also been amended in Section 3.I to clarify that for the purpose of Bylaw No. 3701, 2005, water refers to treated drinking water and excludes rain water, gray water and recycled water. This definition is consistent with the regional WSRP and clarifies at Council's request that the public is able to use collected water, such as from File#: /000/ Doc#: V4

Finally, Section 7 has been amended and the reference to the $ fee for an Additional Water Use Charge has been removed in correlation to the deletion of Schedule 10 as outlined in the amended Bylaw No. 4378, Financial Implications: The Water Conservation Program is an annual program funded through the Water Utility. There are no additional financial implications associated with this report. Conclusion: Following Council's initial endorsement of the Water Shortage Response Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 4378, 2013 at the May 13, 2013 Regular Council Meeting, there were several details that required further clarification from staff. Those details are discussed in this report and further changes have been made to Bylaw No. 4378, 2013 to help clarify the points raised by Council. Staff recommends that these amendments be endorsed by Council and that Council give fourth and final reading to Water Shortage Response Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 4378, Attachments: 1) Draft Water Shortage Response Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 4378, ) Water Shortage Response Plan Bylaw No. 3701, 2005 This report was prepared by Caresse Selk, Environmental Stewardship Coordinator; and reviewed by Steffanie Warriner, Manager of Environmental Services Division, and Stuart Ross, Junior Solicitor.
