and minimize the adverse impacts of water supply shortage or other water supply
emergency conditions, the City of Friendswood adopts the following water
conservation plan.
b. Water uses regulated or prohibited under the Water Conservation Plan (the Plan)
are considered to be non-essential and continuation of such uses during times of
water shortage or other emergency water supply condition are deemed to
constitute a waste of water which subjects the offender(s) to penalties as

SECTION 2.0 UTILITY PROFILE
The City of Friendswood Utility Profile is found under Exhibit B to this Water
Conservation Plan.
SECTION 3.0 WATER CONSERVATION PLAN
3.1 Specification of Conservation Goals and Objectives
In accordance with 30 TAC Part 1, Chapter 288, Subchapter C, Rule 288.2 (a)(1)(C) the
following objectives and five(5)and ten (10) year targets have been established:
The objectives of this water conservation plan are as follows:
• To promote water conservation.
• To determine and control unaccounted water usage.
• To reduce the loss and waste of water.
• To maintain an accurate record of water usage.
1. Goals of the Program (5 year target and goals)
-4-
a. Beginning in the year 2014, The City of Friendswood goals are to achieve a
municipal use of 133 gallons per capita per day for the first 5 years (2014-2019) and also
achieve a municipal use water loss goal of 3 gallons per capita per day for the period
2014-2019.
b. Beginning in the year 2014, The City of Friendswood goals are to control the
water loss not to exceed 11%for the first 5 years(2014-2019).
2. Goals of the Program (10 year target and goals)
a. Beginning in the year 2014, The City of Friendswood goals are to achieve a
municipal use of 130 gallons per capita per day for the next 10 years (2014-2024) and
also achieve a municipal use water loss goal of an additional 3 gallons per capita per
day for the period (2014-2024).
b. Beginning in the year 2014, The City of Friendswood goals are to manage the
water loss to 12%or less for the next 10 years (2014-2024).
3. The projected baseline to reduce per capita per day consumption is 136 gpcd.
To accomplish these goals the City of Friendswood will utilize the programs and policies
in this Plan such as accurate metering devices, universal metering, meter testing and
repair, periodic meter replacement, control of unaccounted water, public education, non-
promotional water rates, and leak detection and repair.
3.2 Metering
The City of Friendswood meters 100% of the connections to the distribution system
including municipal uses. Meters range in size from 3/4"to 6". All meters are designed to
provide accurate flows to within+/- 5%.
The City practices a meter change-out program whereby meters are changed out every
10-15 years. Additionally, larger meters are field tested and repaired for accuracy.
Generally,the city does not use repaired meters in the system.
The City provides treated water through two surface water pumping stations.No water is
diverted from the metered source of supply. The metering is accomplished through
turbine meters and certified calibration is performed tri-annually.
3.3 Determination and Control of Unaccounted-for Water
a. The City makes a bi-monthly accounting of water delivery efficiencies. At
the end of each period, the Public Works Department calculates the
difference between water pumped to the system and water sold through
- 5 -
the meters. This calculation is reduced to a percentage of water losses.
This is maintained and reviewed on an annual basis.
b. Leaks are reported by any municipal employee as well as the general
public.
C. The Water Plants are monitored daily and system pressure is checked
carefully. Any unusual pressure level may be indicative of sizeable leaks
and reported to the maintenance section as soon as noted.
d. All leaks are repaired the same day or as soon as practicable.
3.4 Public Education
The City will support programs to educate the public regarding water conservation
activities that support its goals. This includes educating the general public on the need for
and practices of water conservation through public service announcements and other
means. This information will be provided by means of public notice, web site, press
releases and mailings.
Through the Focus on Friendswood Newsletter and the Annual Consumer Customer
Report, the City will provide water conservation tips to its customers. In addition, the
City sponsors local schools by providing book covers that include water conservation
information.
3.5 Water Rates
The City of Friendswood has volumetric rates based on customer class. In 2014 the City
moved from a uniform block rate to the volumetric system. Exhibit C is a copy of the water
rates from the Code of Ordinances.
3.6 Water Systems Operations
The City purchases treated surface water from the City of Houston. The City owns and
operates two surface water booster stations and six ground water plants. Water is received
into the ground storage tanks via water supply lines. The water is then distributed through
transmission lines to customers. The system capacity is 20 MGD.
The City uses approximately 1,900 million gallons annually. The purchased water
provides the majority of the demand and averages over 90% of the usage.
3.7 Coordination with Regional Water Planning Groups
The water service area of the City of Friendswood is located within the Region H Water
Planning area and a copy of this Plan has been provided to the Region H Water Planning
Group(RWPG).
-6 -
3.8 Record Management System
a. The Public Works Department maintains records of:
• Water received from the City of Houston
• Water received from the ground water plants.
• Water pumped to the distribution system
• Water used for flushing and sewer line cleaning
• Estimates of water losses due to water leaks and fire
fighting/training
b. The Administrative Services Department maintains records of
• Water sold
• Water rates
In 2005 the City prepared and submitted a water audit in accordance with Texas Water
Development Board guidance as required by Section 16.0121 of the Texas Water Code
and amended by the 78"Texas Legislature.
3.9 Wholesale Contracts
The City has no wholesale contracts with any other municipalities or water districts.
3.10 Plumbing Codes
The City operates under the 2009 International Plumbing Code. This code has been
formally adopted by the City Council and is included in the City of Friendswood Code of
Ordinances.A copy of this code is on file with the city secretary. The City routinely
inspects new construction, remodeling, add-ons, etc., through building permits. All new
construction is required to meet state and federal rules regarding water-conserving
plumbing fixtures.
The City does not offer a program for the replacement or retrofit of water-conserving
plumbing fixtures in existing structures other than what would be required through the
permitting process for re-models and building upgrades.
3.11 Recycling and Reuse
The City has no program regarding the reuse of gray water.
3.12 Other Conservation Measures
The City recognizes that in order to accomplish the goals and objectives of this water
conservation plan, other conservation measures may be required that are not outlined
-7 -
within the body of this document. The City is aware of the Water Conservation Best
Management Practices Guide published by the Water Conservation Implementation Task
Force in November 2004. As deemed necessary, the City will implement other measures
either from the BMP guide or as otherwise seen fit to assure compliance with the plan.
Section 4.0: Drought Contingency Plan

Plan. Drought contingency planning has been developed as a pant of this Water
Conservation Plan as a means of dealing with conditions which occur from drought
and/or water emergencies. The drought contingency and water emergency management
phase of the conservation plan has been developed using the guidelines of the TCEQ and
the TWDB.
