Consider approving Resolution No. 2019-038 adopting the City’s Water Conservation Plan; and take appropriate action
Body
BACKGROUND:
The City of Farmers Branch has a water conservation plan and a drought contingency plan, as required by the Texas Water Code. The objectives of a water conservation plan are to reduce water consumption (gallons per capita per day) basis and improve the efficiency in the use of water. The objective of a drought contingency plan is to conserve the available water supply in times of drought and emergency.

FISCAL IMPACT:
No Financial Impact.
