software change,tracking certain water use metrics, which are typically used to support Plan <br /> develop, was no longer possible after October 2014. Nonetheless, most typical and requisite <br /> data assessments were performed using both the old and new data (from prior to and after the <br /> billing software change) such that the Plan end product has been only minimally compromised, <br /> and Planning efforts continue today based on the difference billing software outputs. <br /> Note that since the discovery of the inconsistencies from one billing software to another,the <br /> City has begun the process of replacing the new billing software with a platform that will better <br /> support future water conservation assessments,water resources planning, and overall utilities <br /> operations. <br /> Budget Impacts <br /> There are no expected changes to the proposed budget. <br /> Major Findings <br /> The City has been very engaged in the development of the updated Plan, including cross <br /> departmental cooperation and collaboration, and vertical integration with utility management. <br /> The current focus of the updated Plan will be to support the ongoing water conservation <br /> measures and programs, and expand efforts related to utility water loss management and <br /> seasonal water use demand management. <br /> Steps Remaining/Schedule <br /> The Final Draft Plan was presented to City Council yesterday, at the September 270 Study <br /> Session meeting. The public review and comment period will begin today through late <br /> November, such that a Final Plan can be prepared for submittal to the CWCB in December of <br /> this year, depending on the comments received and City Council's schedule. An updated project <br /> schedule is provided as an attachment. <br /> Thank you for all your support in the planning and implementation of our water conservation <br /> program. Our community has benefited greatly from the funding and technical assistance <br /> provided by the CWCB throughout this process. <br /> Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. <br /> Respe Ily, <br /> " ///1 7/j/(,& - <br /> wn M.
