for Municipal Water Use by Retail Public Water Suppliers
This form is provided to assist retail public water suppliers in water conservation plan
assistance in completing this form or in developing your plan, please contact the Conservation
staff of the Resource Protection Team in the Water Availability Division at (512) 239-4691.
Water users can find best management practices (BMPs) at the Texas Water Development Board's
website htty://www.twdb.texas.gov/conservation/BMPs/indexasn. The practices are broken out
into sectors such as Agriculture, Commercial and Institutional, Industrial, Municipal and
Wholesale. BMPs are voluntary measures that water users use to develop the required
components of Title 30, Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 288. BMPs can also be implemented
in addition to the rule requirements to achieve water conservation goals.

7. List source or method for the calculation of current and projected population size.
World Population Review for current population size in addition to wholesale customers
outside of city limits. Previous Water Loss Audits were used for gaining wholesale
population data. The 2021 Regional Water Plan- Population Projections for 2020-2070 was
used for projected population in addition to wholesale customers with an approximate 3%
growth rate.
* The wholesale customer population for 2014 and 2015 was estimated by averaging 2013
and 2016 data.
B. Customer Data
Senate Bill 181 requires that uniform consistent methodologies for calculating water use and
conservation be developed and available to retail water providers and certain other water use
sectors as a guide for preparation of water use reports, water conservation plans, and reports
on water conservation efforts. A water system must provide the most detailed level of
customer and water use data available to it, however, anv new billing system purchased must
be capable of reporting data for each of the sectors listed below. More guidance can be found

Record Management System
The City manages records of water sales through the Water Customer Service group which uses
CentralSquare Technologies. CentralSquare Technologies separates water sales into different
classes including Residential, Multi -family, Commercial, Industrial, and Agriculture (Irrigation).
Water Utilities also maintains records of wholesale customers. Lucity is the record management
system the City uses to track work orders and maintenance requests. The City recently
purchased Cityworks software to replace Lucity as its record management system, and expects
it to be implemented in the near future.
Five and Ten Year Targets
For this Water Conservation Plan, the City chose to use the historic averages as the baselines.
The historic average for total gallons per capita per day (GPCD), water loss GPCD, and water
loss percentage encompasses water usage from CY 2015 through CY 2018, because no Water
Loss Audit was submitted for CY 2014. The historic average for the residential GPCD
encompassed water usage from CY 2016 through CY 2018 because the Water Use Survey was
inadequate CY 2014 and CY 2015.
The goals set in this Conservation Plan reflect reducing the total water use, measured as gallons
per capita per day (GPCD), by 1.26% annually.
The City plans to further implement leak detection and improve leak repairs in order to reduce
water loss percentage by 5.00% annually to reach the goals set below.
The City's goal for reducing water loss GPCD was based on the water loss percentage and total
GPCD goals.

The City meters raw water to -the surface water plant, treated water leaving the plant, each
ground water well, and the high service pumps from the ground water storage facilities. Each
meter is annually calibrated and remains within its specified accuracy. Refer to Appendix D for
2018 records of calibration on all diversion and discharge meters.
TCEQ-10218 (Rev. 12/2018) Page 10 of 12
Universal Metering
The City's Water Utilities maintains the water meters throughout the distribution system. The
City uses Neptune meters (Refer to Appendix E for product information). All 5/8" through 1-
1 /2" meters are tested before installation. Meters are tested based on requests or if notified by
the metering software. Repairs are made if a meter is broken or fails to meet 90% accuracy
during testing. Contractors are required to use caged meters to monitor water use from
hydrants during construction activities.
Determining and Controlling Water Loss
Water loss can occur from several sources:
• Inaccuracies in customer meters
• Error in firefighting and flushing estimates
• Water Main breaks and leaks in the distribution system
• Illegal connections and theft
• Other
Maintenance and Operations crews should look for and report evidence of leaks in the distribution
system. Meter readers should look for signs of illegal connections, so they can be investigated.
Leaks can be reported by customers through the City's 311 call system. The City has invested in
leak detection software and the maintenance and customer service divisions are able to use this
guidance when tracking down leaks.
Continuing Public Education and Information
The City inserts water conservation information with the annual water quality report. The City
plans to make information on water conservation available on its website and include links to
TCEQ, TWDB, and EPA sites as resources.
Water Rate Structure
The City uses a non -promotional rate structure based on meter size., -Refer to Appendix F for a
comprehensive breakdown of the City's water rates as posted in the City Ordinance.
Reservoir Systems Operations Plan
The City of Beaumont does not own or operate reservoir systems.
TCEQ-10218 (Rev. 12/2018) Page 11 of 12
Enforcement Procedure and Plan Adoption
The 2019 Water Conservation Plan is expected to be reviewed by City Council on April 30, 2019.
Once approved, a copy of the resolution granting approval will be attached under Appendix H.
Coordination with the Regional Water Planning Group
J
The City of Beaumont is located within the Region I Planning Group. The City of Beaumont will
provide a copy of this Water Conservation Plan to the Region_ I Planning Group once it has been
approved.
Plan Review and Update
The City of Beaumont reviews its conservation programs and goals on an annual basis and submits
an Annual Conservation Report to update regulatory agencies. The Water Conservation Plan and
Water Conservation Implementation Report is reviewed and updated every five years according to
TCEQ requirements under Title 30 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) §288.30. The next Water
Conservation Plan is expected by May 1, 2024.
Drought Contingency Plan
A copy of the Drought Contingency Plan as declared in Article 22.06 of the City Ordinance is
attached under Appendix G. There are no revisions to the Drought Contingency Plan at this time.
Wholesale Water Supply Contract Changes, per TCEQ
Each wholesale water supply contract entered into or renewed after the adoption of this plan will
require wholesale customers to develop and implement a water conservation plan or water
conservation measures using the applicable elements from the TCEQ If the customer intends to
resell the water, the contract between the initial supplier and customer must provide that the
contract for the resale of the water must have water conservation requirements so that each
successive customer in the resale of the water will be required to implement water conservation
measures in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.

T 10 water meters are warranted for
performance, materials. and workmanship.
Every T 10 water meter meets or exceeds
the latest AWWA C700 Standard. Its
nutating disc, positive displacement
principle is time -proven for accuracy and
dependability since 189Z ensuring maximum utility revenue.
The T 10 water meter consists of three major assemblies: a register, a no -lead high copper alloy
maincase, and a notating disc measures chamber.
The T 10 meter is available with a variety of register types. For reading convenience, the register
can be'mounted in one of fora positions on the meter.
The corrosion -resistant no -lead high copper alloy maincase will withstand most service
conclitions: internal water pressure, rough handling, and in -line piping stress.
The innovative floating chamber design of the nutating disc measuring element protects the
chamber from frost damage while the unique chamber seal extends the low flow accuracy by
sealing the chamber outlet port to the maincase outlet port The nutating disc measuring element
utilizes corrosion4esistant materials throughout and a thrust roller to minimize wear.

NEpTUNE TRU/FLO° COMPOUND METER
TECHNOLOGY GROUP SIZES: 2-HP, 3", 4% 6% AND 6"X8"
inu/fL0" motets combine the iow-Boss
aetuitivity of a disc -type motto vnth the
hiub•Bow capacity of a tutbirut-typo motet.
All TRU/FLO® Compound water meters meet or exceed the latest performance
and accuracy requirements set by the AWWA C702, and maximum continuous
flow rates may be exceeded by as much as 25% for intermittent periods.
z The TRU/FLO Compound water meter is designed to register wide flow ranges
a where varying flow rates are typical. TRU/FLO meters combine the low -flow
sensitivity of a disc -type meter with the high -How capacity of a turbine-
qtype meter.
z The hydraulic valve transfers flow smoothly between the disc section and
turbine section of the meter, minimizing the loss of accuracy in the crossover
range. The turbine measuring element registers high flows and the disc
measuring element registers low flows, ensuring accurate measurement at all
flow rates.
z The TRU/FLO consists of a durable lead free, high -copper alloy maincase,
Neptune High Performance (HP) or TridentltlTurbine measuring element,
Neptune T-10 chamber, and two magnetic -driven, roll -sealed registers.
The 6" x 8" TRU/FLO assembly consists of two 6" x 8" concentric reducers, a
6" Neptune strainer, and a 6" Neptune TRU/FLO Compound meter.
The lead free, high -copper maincase is corrosion -resistant, lightweight, and
easy to handle.
A calibration vane allows field calibration of the UME to lengthen service life
and to ensure accurate registration.
The two magnetic -driven, roll -sealed registers simplify the meterls design and
reduce long-term maintenance by eliminating complicated combining drive
mechanisms. For reading convenience, the registers can be mounted in any
one of four positions on the meter.
Neptune provides a limited warranty with respect to its TflU/FLO Compound
water meters for performance, materials, and workmanship.
When desired, owner maintenance is easily accomplished by in -line
replacement of major components, or a factory -calibrated UME.

the city manager is hereby authorized to initiate allocation of water supplies on a'pro
rata basis in accordance with Texas Water Code section 11.039 and according to the
following water allocation policies and procedures:
(1) A wholesale customer's monthly allocation shall be a percentage of the
customer's water usage baseline. The percentage will be set by resolution of the city
based on the city manager's assessment of the severity of the water shortage condition
and the need to curtail water diversions and/or deliveries and may be adjusted
periodically by resolution of the city as conditions warrant. Once pro rata allocation is in
effect, water diversions or by deliveries to each wholesale customer shall be limited to
the allocation established for each month.
(2) A monthly water usage allocation shall be established by the city manager or
his/her designee, for each wholesale customer. The wholesale customer's water usage
baseline will be computed on the average water usage by month for the 1995-2000
calendar year period. If the wholesale water customer's billing history is less than five
(5) years, the monthly average for the period for which there is a record shall be used
for any monthly period for which no billing history exists.

normal water usage;
(B) The customer agrees to transfer part of its allocation to another wholesale
customer; or
(C) Other objective evidence demonstrates that the designated allocation is
inaccurate under present conditions.
A customer may appeal an allocation established hereunder to the city council.
(b) Enforcement. During any period when pro rata allocation of available water
supplies is in effect, wholesale customers shall pay the following surcharges on excess
water diversions and/or deliveries:
(1) One hundred ten (110) percent of the normal water charge for water diversions
and/or deliveries in excess of the monthly allocation up through five (5) percent above
the monthly allocation.
(2) One hundred twenty (120) percent of the normal water charge for water diversions
and/or deliveries in excess of the monthly allocation from five (5) percent through ten
(10) percent above the monthly allocation.
(3) One hundred fifty (150) percent of the normal water charge for water diversions
and/or deliveries in excess of the monthly allocation from ten (10) percent through
fifteen (15) percent above the monthly allocation.
(4) Two (2) times the normal water charge for water diversions and/or more than
fifteen (15) percent above the monthly allocation.
(5) The above surcharges shall be cumulative.
(c) Variances.
(1) The city manager, or his/her designee, may, in writing, grant a temporary variance
