Water Conservation and Drought Contingency and
Water Emergency Response Plan for the City of Wylie, Texas
1. INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES
Water supply has always been a key issue in the development of Texas. In recent years, the
growing population and economic development of North Central Texas has led to increasing
demands for water supplies. At the same time, local and less expensive sources of water
supply are largely developed. Additional supplies to meet higher demands will be
expensive and difficult to develop. It is therefore important that North Texas Municipal
Water District (NTMWD) and The City of Wylie (City) make the most efficient use of
existing supplies. This will delay the need for new supplies, minimize the environmental
impacts associated with developing new supplies, and delay the high cost of additional
water supply development.
Recognizing the need for efficient use of existing water supplies, the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has developed guidelines and requirements governing the
development of water conservation and drought contingency plans for public water
suppliers. TCEQ guidelines and requirements are included in Appendix B. The best
management practices established by the Water Conservation Implementation Task Force,
established pursuant to Senate Bill (SB) 1094 by the 78~' Texas Legislature, were also
considered in the development of the water conservation measures. The NTMWD
developed a Model Water Conservation Plan for its Member Cities and Customers
(NT'MWD Model Plan) following TCEQ guidelines and requirements. The current
NTMWD Model Plan was developed in concert with the NTMWD's Water Conservation
Plan and replaces the NTMWD Model Plan dated August 2004 and April 2006.
The water conservation sections of the NTMWD Model Plan include measures that are
intended to result in ongoing, long-term water savings.
The objectives of this water conservation plan are as follows:
¦ 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 document the level of recycling and reuse in the water supply.
¦ To extend the life of current water supplies by reducing the rate of growth in
demand.
The water conservation sections presented in this document were derived from a Model
Water Conservation Plan intended for adoption by the NTMWD Member Cities and
Customers. In order to adopt this NTMWD Model Plan, the City of Wylie will need to do
~
the following:
¦ Complete the water utility profile (Appendix C).
1-1
Water Conservation Plan City of Wylie
¦ Complete the NTMWD member city annual water conservation report (Appendix
D).
¦ Complete the annual water conservation implementation report (Appendix I).
¦ Set five-year and ten-year goals for per capita water use (Table 4.1).
¦ Adopt an ordinance approving the plan.
The water utility profile, goals, and ordinance(s) or regulations will be provided to NTMWD
in draft form for review and comments. Final adopted versions will also be provided to
NTMWD, as well as TCEQ.
This Water Conservation Plan for the City of Wylie, Texas (City Plan) applies to all users
of the City of Wylie water supply.
This City Plan includes all of the elements required by TCEQ.

5. METERING, WATER USE RECORDS, CONTROL OF UNACCOUNTED
WATER, AND LEAK DETECTION AND REPAIR
One of the key elements of water conservation is tracking water use and controlling losses
through illegal diversions and leaks. It is important to carefully meter water use, detect and
repair leaks in the distribution system and provide regular monitoring of unaccounted water.
5.1 Accurate Metering of Treated Water Deliveries from NTMWD
Water deliveries from NTMWD are metered by NTMWD using meters with accuracy of ~2
percent. These meters are calibrated on a monthly basis by NTMWD to maintain the
required accuracy.
SZ Metering of Customer and Public Uses and Meter Testing, Repair, and
Replacement
The provision of water to all customers, including private, public and governmental users,
will continue to be metered in the City of Wylie. The City of Wylie will test and replace
their residential customer meters on a regular basis. All residential customer meters will be
budgeted to be replaced on a minimum of a 1 S-year cycle. Additionally, large meters will
be regularly tested on no less than a 5-year interval and either maintained or replaced when
their test flow is more than a 3 percent difference from actual flow.
5.3 Record Management System
As required by TAC Title 30, Part 1, Chapter 288, Subchapter A, Rule 288.2(a)(2)(B), the
City of Wylie will maintain a customer billing and record management system that allows
for the separation of water sales and uses into residential, commercial, public/institutional,
and indusfial categories. This information will be included in an annual water conservation
report, as described in Section 5.6. Should TCEQ, TWDB, or NTMWD require the
inclusion of additional customer classes, the City will add the required classes to its billing
and records management system.
5.4 Determination and Control of Unaccounted Water
Unaccounted water is the difference between water delivered to the City of Wylie from
NTMWD (and other supplies, if applicable) and metered water sales to customers plus
authorized but unmetered uses. (Authorized but unmetered uses would include use for fire
fighting, releases for flushing of lines, uses associated with new construction, etc.).
Unaccounted water can include several categories:
• Inaccuracies in customer meters. (Customer meters tend to run more slowly as they
age and under-report actual use.)
• Accounts which are being used but have not yet been added to the billing system.
v~ • Losses due to water main breaks and leaks in the water distribution system.
• Losses due to fire fighting.
5-1
Water Conservation Plan City of Wylie
¦ Losses due to illegal connections and theft.
¦ Other.
Measures to control unaccounted water will be part of the routine operations of the City of
Wylie. Maintenance crews and personnel will test for, observe for, and report evidence of
leaks in the water distribution system. A leak detection and repair program is described in
Section 5.5 below. Meter services technicians and all City crews will watch for and report
signs of water loss and illegal connections, so they can be quickly addressed.
Unaccounted water should be calculated in accordance with the provisions of Appendix C.
With the measures described in this City Plan, the City of Wylie should maintain
unaccounted water below 12 percent in 2009 and subsequent years. If unaccounted water
exceeds this goal, the City of Wylie will implement a more intensive audit to determine the
source(s) of and reduce the unaccounted water. The annual conservation report described
below is the primary tool that should be used to monitor unaccounted water.
5.5 Leak Detection and Repair
As described above, City crews and personnel should look for and report evidence of lealcs
in the water distribution system. Areas of the water distribution system, in which numerous
leaks and line breaks occur, should be targeted for replacement as funds are available.
5.6 Monitoring of Effectiveness and Efficiency - Annual Water Conservation
Report
Appendix D is a form that should be used in the development of an annual water
conservation report by the City of Wylie. This form should be completed by March 31 of
the following year and used to monitor the effectiveness and efficiency of the water
conservation program and to plan conservation-related activities for the next year. The form
records the water use by category, per capita municipal use, and unaccounted water for the
current year and compares them to historical values. The annual water conservation report
should be sent to NTMWD, which will monitor NTMWD Member Cities' and Customers'
water conservation trends.
5.7 Water Conservation Implementation Report
Appendix I includes the TCEQ-required water conservation implementation report. The
report is due to the TCEQ by May 1 of every year, starting in the year 2010. This report
lists the various water conservation strategies that have been implemented, including the
date the stra.tegy was implemented. The report also calls for the five-year and ten-year per
capita water use goals from the water conservation plan. The reporting entity must answer
whether or not these goals have been met and if not, why not. The amount of water saved is
also requested.

Water Conservation Plan City of Wylie
6. CONTINUING PUBLIC EDUCATION AND INFORMATION CAMPAIGN
The continuing public education and information campaign on water conservation includes
the following elements:
¦ Utilize the "Water IQ: Know Your Water" and other public education materials
produced by the NTMWD.
¦ Insert water conservation information with water bills. Inserts will include material
developed by the City of Wylie staff and material obtained from the NTMWD,
TWDB, TCEQ, and other sources.
¦ Encourage local media coverage of water conservation issues and the importance of
water conservation.
¦ Notify local organizations, schools, and civic groups that the City of Wylie staff and
staff of the NTMWD are available to make presentations on the importance of water
conservation and ways to save water.
¦ Promote the Texas Smartscape web site (www.txsmartsca e com) and provide water
conservation brochures and other water conservation materials available to the
public at City Hall and other public places.
• Make information on water conservation available on its web site and include links
to the "Water IQ: Know Your Water" website, Texas Smartscape web site and to
information on water conservation on the TWDB and TCEQ web sites and other
resources.

Water Conservation Plan City of Wylie
7. WATER RATE STRUCTURE
The City of Wylie will continue to bill customers using an increasing block rate water
structure that is intended to encourage water conservation and discourage excessive use and
waste of water. An example water rate structure suggested by the NTMWD Model Plan is
provided below. The current City of Wylie rate structure is similar to the minimum
requirements suggested by the NTMWD.
Residential Rates
1. Monthly minimum charge. This can (but does not have to) include up to
2,000 gallons water use with no additional charge.
2. Base charge per 1,000 gallons up to the approximate average residential use.
3. 2°d tier (from the average to 2 times the approximate average) at 1.25 to 2.0
times the base charge.
4. 3~d tier (above 2 times the approximate average) at 1.25 to 2.0 times the 2°a
tier.
5. The residential rate can also include a lower tier for basic household use up to
4,000 gallons per month or a determined basic use.
Commercial/Industrial Rates
CommerciaUindustrial rates should include at least 2 tiers, with rates for the 2°d tier at
1.25 to 2.0 times the first tier. Higher water rates for commercial irrigation use are
encouraged, but not required.
7-1
Water Conservation Plan City of Wylie
8. OTHER WATER CONSERVATION MEASURES
8.1 NTMWD System Operation Plan
Member Cities and Customers of NTMWD purchase treated water from NTMWD and do
not have surface water supplies for which to implement a system operation plan.
NTMWD's permits do allow some coordinated operation of its water supply sources, and
NTMWD is seeking additional water rights for coordinated operation to optimize its
available water supplies.
8.2 Reuse and Recycling of Wastewater
Most Member Cities and Customers do not own and operate their own wastewater treatment
plants. Their wastewater is treated by NTMWD. NTMWD currently has the largest
wastewater reuse program in the state. NTMWD has water rights allowing reuse of up to
71,882 acre-feet per year of this treated wastewater through Lake Lavon for municipal
purposes. In addition, NTMWD has also developed the East Fork Raw Water Supply
Project which can divert up to 157,393 acre-feet per year based on treated wastewater
discharges by the NTMWD. When fully developed, these two reuse projects will provide
up to 44 percent of the NT'MWD's currently permitted water supplies. NTMWD also
provides treated effluent from its wastewater treatment plants available for direct reuse for
landscape irrigation and industrial use.
Although the City of Wylie does not operate its own wastewater treatment plant, the
NTMWD encourages those Member Cities and Customers who own and operate their own
wastewater treatment plants should move toward reusing treated ef~luent for irrigation
purposes at their plant site over the next three years. T'hese entities should also seek other
alternatives for reuse of recycled wastewater effluent.
8.3 Ordinances, Plumbing Codes, or Rules on Water-Conserving Fixtures
The state has required water-conserving fixtures in new construction and renovations since
1992. The state standards call for flows of no more than 2.5 gallons per minute (gpm) for
faucets, 3.0 gpm for showerheads, and 1.6 gallons per flush for toilets. Similar standards are
now required nationally under federal law. These state and federal standards assure that all
new construction and renovations will use water-conserving fixtures. The City of Wylie
will continue to implement ordinances, plumbing codes, and rules on water conserving
fixtures as they evolve through relevant building codes and State of Texas requirements. A
rebate program to encourage water conservation through replacement of older fixtures may
be offered when resources are available. Items for a potential rebate program are described
in Section 8.5.
8.4 Landscape Water Management Measures
~ The following landscape water management measures are adopted for the City Plan.
8-1
Water Conservation Plan City of Wylie
¦ Time of day restrictions prohibiting lawn irrigation watering from 10 AM to 6 PM

¦ Prohibition of the use of treated water to fill or refill residential, amenity, and any
other natural or manmade ponds. A pond is considered to be a still body of water
with a surface area of 500 square feet or more.
¦ Rain and freeze sensors and/or ET or Smart controllers required on all new
irrigation systems. Rain and freeze sensors and/or ET or Smart controllers must
be maintained to function properly.
¦ "At home" car washing can be done only when using a hose with a shut-off
nozzle.
¦ Prohibition of watering areas that have been overseeded with cool season grasses
(such as rye grass or other similar grasses), except for golf course and public
athletic fields.
8.5 Additional Water Conservation Measures
Appendix E is a summary of considerations for landscape water management regulations
adopted as part of the development of this water conservation plan. These regulations are
intended to minimize waste in landscape irrigation. Appendix E includes the required
landscape water measures in 8.4. In addition, the City of Wylie adopts the following as part
of the City Plan:
¦ Recommend, not require, that all existing irrigation systems be retrofitted with rain
and freeze sensors and/or ET or Smart controllers capable of multiple programming.
Rain and freeze sensors andlor ET or Smart controllers must be maintained to
function properly.
¦ Prohibition of use of poorly maintained irrigation systems that waste water. ~
8-2
Water Conservation Plan City of Wylie
¦ Recommend no planting of cool season grasses (such as rye grass or other similar
grasses) that intensify cool season water requirements, with an exception allowed for
golf courses and public athletic fields.
¦ Requirement that the playing surface on all new public athletic fields be irrigated by
a separate programmable irrigation zone from surrounding areas.
¦ Requirement that all new or rehabilitated irrigation systems must be designed,
inspected, and installed in accordance with TCEQ rules.
In addition to the conservation measures described above and when resources are available,
the City of Wylie may offer rebates for purchase of water conserving devices. The items for
any potential City rebate program will change from time to time as the City's Water
Conservation Rebate Program evolves. These items may include:
¦ Low-flow toilet replacement and rebate programs,
¦ Rebates for rain and freeze sensors and/or ET or Smart controllers,
¦ Low-flow showerhead and sink aerators replacement programs or rebates,
¦ ET/Smart irrigation controller rebates,
~ Water efficient clothes washer rebates,
¦ Pressure reducing valve installation rebates,
¦ On-demand hot water heater rebates,

reduce the loss or waste of water, improve the efficiency in the use of water, or increase the recycling
and reuse of water so that a water supply is made available for future or alternative uses.
Industrial use - The use of water in processes designed to convert materials of a lower order of
value into forms having greater usability and commercial value, commercial fish production, and the
development of power by means other than hydroelectric, but does not include agricultural use.
Irrigation - The agricultural use of water for the irrigation of crops, trees, and pastureland,
including, but not limited to, golf courses and parks which do not receive water through a municipal
distribution system.
Municipal per capita water use - The sum total of water diverted into a water supply system for

consiruction to meet its demands, and for the watering of lawns and family gardens.
Municipal use in gallons per capita per dsy - The total average daily amount of water diverted or
pumped for treatment for potable use by a public water supply system. The calculation is made by
dividing the water diverted or pumped for treatment for potable use by popularion served. Indirect
reuse volumes shall be credited against total diversion volumes for tFie purpose of calculating gallons
per capita per day for tazgets and goals.
Polludon - The alteration of the physical, thermal, chemical, or biological quality of, or the
contamination of, any water in the state that renders the water harmful, detrimental, or injurious to
humans, animal life, vegetation, or property, or to the public health, safety, or welfare, or impairs the

disposed of or discharged or otherwise allowed to flow into a watercourse, lake, or other body of
state-owned water.
Water conservaHon plan - A strategy or combination of strategies for reducing the volume of water
withdrawn from a water supply source, for reducing the loss or waste of water, for maintaining or
improving the efficiency in the use of water, for increasing the recycling and reuse of water, and for
prevenring the pollution of water. A water conservation plan may be a separate document identified
as such or may be contained within another water management document(s}.
Water loss - The di~erence between water diverted or treated and water delivered (sold). Water loss
can result from:
1. inaccurate or incomplete record keeping;
2. meter error;
3. unmetered uses such as firefighting, line flushing, and water for public buildings and
water treatment plants;
4. leaks; and
~
5. water theft and unauthorized use.
Wholesale public water supplier - An individual or entity that for compensation supplies water to
another for resale to the public for human consumption. The term does not include an individual or
