The numbers are in and the Discovery Bay community deserves a round of applause for continuing to conserve our water. The water conservation is measured each month and the results are monitored by the State. From June of 2015 through February of 2016, the community met the 32 percent water reduction standard.
Thank You!
Discovery Bay Conservation Summary • June 2015 through January 2016 — 36.2% conservation, exceeding 32% conservation goal. • January conservation was 26.4% measurably better than the region but below the standard. • February conservation was 35.1%. Although the snowpack water content readings were more positive this year
than in the previous four years, they were still below the historic average. As such, continued efforts to conserve water throughout the State are important.
In compliance with the State’s Emergency Water Regulations the Town adopted Ordinance No. 25 which includes the following: • The application of potable water to driveways and sidewalks is prohibited. • Watering in a manner that results in runoff is prohibited. • The use of water in fountains or other decorative features is only allowed if part of a recirculating system. • The use of a hose that dispenses Continued on page 14
Water Meter Installation Update The State of California law requires that all homes in our community have water meters installed. Approximately one third of the homes in Discovery Bay have water meters installed on their property. Those homes that are fitted with water meters pay for actual use on an annual rate established rather than paying based on the average residential consumption. Currently the water meter and automated reader system project is in the planning

stages and it is expected that the installation will begin in the fall of 2016 for the remainder of homes not currently metered. This new system will allow you to monitor water use on any computer or mobile device, from anywhere in the world. Those that conserve water or otherwise use less will see this reflected on their water bill. Watch for upcoming updates and check the Town’s website at www.todb.ca.gov for more information.

• The State’s Regulations also prohibits the application of potable water to outdoor landscapes during and within 48 hours after measurable rainfall. • The community deserves much credit for stepping up to the plate and being one of the approximately 58 percent of communities within the state that have achieved the water conservation standard. For more information on the drought and water restrictions in Discovery Bay, please visit our website at www.todb.ca.gov and click on the Drought link and visit www.saveourwater. com for more water saving tips.

• Use a broom to clean driveways, sidewalks and patios. Save: 8-18 gallons /minute.
• Plant drought-resistant trees and plants. Save: 30- 60 gallons/each time you water/1,000 sq. ft.

A Safety Message from our Contra Costa County Public Works Department During routine inspections, the Contra Costa Public Works Department noticed several basketball hoops on the sidewalks or on the pavement in the gutter. Not only does this present tripping, parking, and vehicle hazards, but it could also divert drainage during winter storms. In order to allow clearances for safe passage of pedestrians and vehicles, and to allow adequate parking and drainage, the Public Works Department would like to remind you that these are public right of ways. Please store your equipment behind the back edge of the side walk and allow 7’ minimum clearance over the sidewalk.
