A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF NEWPORT BEACH NOTICING ITS INTENTION
TO DECLARE A LEVEL THREE WATER SUPPLY SHORTAGE
WHEREAS, On January 17, 2014, following three dry or critically dry years in
California, State Governor Edmund G Brown Jr. declared a drought state of emergency
by issuing a proclamation; and
WHEREAS, On April 25, 2014, Governor Edmund G Brown Jr. issued an

wasteful water practices; and
WHEREAS, On July 15, 2014, the State Water Resource Control Board
("Board") adopted an emergency regulation for statewide urban water conservation
(Resolution No.2014-0038) and requires water agencies to comply. Water code section
1058.5 grants the Board the authority to adopt emergency regulations in certain drought
years; and
WHEREAS, On September 9, 2014, the Newport Beach City Council adopted a
Resolution of the City Council of the City of Newport Beach Declaring a Level One
Water Supply Shortage (Resolution No.2014-00) to conserve water usage to 100% of
Base Amount and limit outdoor irrigation.
WHEREAS, on April 1, 2015, California, State Governor Edmund G Brown Jr.
issued an executive order (B-29-15) directing that his January 17, 2014, Proclamation,
April 25, 2014, Proclamation and Executive Orders (B-26-14, B-28-14) remain in full
force and effect, and that the State Water Resource Control Board shall impose
restrictions to achieve a statewide 25% reduction in potable urban water usage through

Page 2of4
WHEREAS, The City of Newport Beach Municipal Code Chapter 14.16
establishes water conservation and supply level regulations to prevent the waste and
unnecessary and nonessential use of potable water, and creates four increasing levels
of water conservation requirements based on the severity of conditions; and
WHEREAS, The City of Newport Beach Municipal Code Section 14.16.040
meets all "permanent" restrictions required by the Board; and
WHEREAS, The City of Newport Beach finds it necessary to issue a notice of
intent to declare a water supply shortage and implement Level Three Mandatory Water
Conservation Requirements to reduce water use and comply with state regulations
requiring mandatory restriction on outdoor irrigation of ornamental landscape or turf with
potable water.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Newport
Beach that:
1. Pursuant to Section 14.16.050 of the Municipal Code, the City Council declares
its intent to declare a Level Three water supply shortage.
2. A public hearing will be held on May 26, 2015, in order for the public to appear
before City Council and be heard on whether a resolution declaring the Level
Three water supply shortage should be adopted.
3. If following the public hearing, the City Council adopts a resolution declaring a
Level Three water supply shortage as set forth in NMBC Chapter 14.16.060, and
in addition to permanent water use restrictions already in effect, the following
water use restrictions will apply:
A. No customer shall use potable water to irrigate any lawn, landscape or other
vegetated area between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Pacific
Standard Time on any day, except by use of a hand-held bucket or similar
container, a hand-held hose equipped with a positive self-closing water shut

Page 3 of 4
B. No customer shall use potable water to irrigate any lawn, landscape or other
vegetated area except on the scheduled irrigation days established by City

customer (a) two (2) irrigation days per week during the months of April,
May, June, July, August, September, and October and (b) one (1) irrigation
day per week during the months of November, December, January,
February, and March. Prior to the foregoing restriction becoming effective,
the City shall notify the customer of the scheduled irrigation days by mail,
which may be done by an indication on the customer's municipal services
statement. This restriction does not apply to the following unless the City has
determined that recycled water is available and may be lawfully applied to
the use:
1. Maintenance of vegetation, including trees and shrubs, that is watered
using a hand-held bucket or similar container or hand-held hose equipped
with positive self-closing water shut-off nozzle or device, or a very low -

(2) gallons of water per hour.
2. Irrigation of food crops (including fruit trees and vegetable gardens),
provided that such irrigation does not exceed three (3) days per week on
a schedule established and posted by the City's Municipal Operations

repairing an irrigation system.
C. No customer shall use more water during any billing period than 75% of the

No customer may use potable water to fill or refill an ornamental lake, pond, or fountain,
more than once every other week, except to the extent needed to sustain aquatic life,
provided that such animals were being actively managed within the water feature at the
time of the City's declaration of the water supply shortage under this chapter.
E. No customer may use potable water to fill or refill by more than three inches
a residential swimming pool or outdoor spa more than once a week.
