Specific, Qircr�ltif ear' S cfr 10-�`e�rj� Tc�l,�i�etr• For this Water Conservation Plan, the City of Beaumont chose to use the historical averages from the previous 5 years as the baseline. The historic average for the total gallons per capita per day (GPCD), water loss CPCD, and Water loss percentage encompasses water usage from CY 2019 through CY 2023. The historic average for the residential GPCD encompasses water usage noted on the Water Use Survey from CY 2019 through CY 2023. The goal set in this Conservation Plan reflect reducing the total water use, measured in gallons per capita per day (GPCD), by 1.5% annually. The City plans to further implement leak detection and improve leak repairs in order to reduce water loss by 2.00 % 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 following sections provide context for the impact of these factors on the City and describe how these factors were considered in the Water Supply Planning Study. 2.1 PLANNING HORIZON Freese and Nichols, Inc. (FNI) looked at population and demand for the City of Beaumont through the year 2070. Projections from both the published 2021 Region I Regional Water Plan (RWP) and the draft 2026 Region I RWP were considered. Projections for the 2021 Region I RWP extend out to 2070. 2.2 POPULATION AND WATER DEMAND PROJECTIONS FNI developed water demand projections for both low and high population scenarios. The low population scenario utilized draft population projections developed by Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) for use in the 2026 Region I (East Texas) RWP. The high population scenario utilized population projection data from the 2021 Region I RWP and projections from the City of Beaumont Planning Division (developed December 2022). Calculations for both scenarios used draft per -capita demands from TWDB, developed for the 2026 Region I RWP. These per -capita demand projections represent expected demand in a very dry year, so the projected retail demand is higher than what may be experienced in a typical year. Calculating both low- and high-water demand projections provides a better understanding of possible alternatives to meet future water demands and allows the City to more adequately plan how to meet these demands. 2.2.1 Population Growth and Retail Demands In July 2023, the Region I Regional Water Planning Group (RWPG) developed revised population projections for the City. This revised projection incorporates the 2030 population estimate from Beaumont's planning division developed in December 2022. Then, the annual growth rate between the 2020 Census count and the City's 2030 estimate (0.28%) was applied to estimate population in 2040 and 2050. After 2050, the decadal rates of change from the draft 2026 regional water planning population projections for Beaumont, developed by TWDB, were applied to estimate population through 2070. Based on discussion with the City, the revised projections developed by the Region I RWPG have been 2 Water Supply Planning Study rails FREESE City of Beaumont, TX All IC OLS incorporated into this study as the low projection scenario. The low projection scenario forecasts growth in population up to a peak of 133,916 in 2050, declining to 130,458 by 2070 (Table 1, Figure 1), 200,000 180,000 160,000 140,000 0 120,000 100,000 C. 80,000 60,000 40,000 20,000 0 2030 2040 2050 2060 2070 Year Figure 1. Low Population Projections FNI developed demand projections for the low projection scenario using the 2026 Region 1 RWP draft per - capita demand, provided by TWDB in May 2023. The retail demand for the low projection scenario is expected to increase up to a peak of 30,967 ac-ft/year in 2050, decreasing to approximately 30,167 ac- ft/year by the year 2070 (Table 1, Figure 2). 3 Water Supply Planning Study FREESE City of Beaumont, 7X MICHOLS 50,000 45,000 40,000 35,000 30,000 25,000 LL 20,000 u < 15,000 10,000 5,000 0 2030 2040 2050 2060 2070 Year Figure 2. Retail Annual Water Demand Projections for Low Population Scenario FNI developed high population projections for the City utilizing the population projection data from the 2021 Region I RWP and projections from the City of Beaumont Planning Division developed in December 2022. The City's Planning Division developed a population forecast through year 2050, which was used for the first three decades of the high population scenario. This aligns closely with 2050 projections from the 2021 Region I RWP, so the high population scenario forecast was extended to 2070 using 2021 RWP projections for years 2060 and 2070. By the year 2070, the high planning scenario population is projected to be 181,406 (Table 2, Figure 3). Table 2.

Historical, Low Planning Scenario, and High Planning scenario Populations 2.2.2 Wholesale Demands The City provided information on current contracts with water customers, including the maximum daily volume and maximum rate allowed in each contract. The City also provided the average and maximum daily demand from each customer between January 2018 and August 2022. For the purposes of this planning study, the sum of customers' average daily demand was used to estimate the total expected wholesale demand on an annual basis. This amount is approximately 2,200 ac-ft/year (2 MGD), 2.2.3 Total Annual Demands Combined retail and wholesale demand projections for both the low and high planning scenarios are shown below (Table 3, Figure 6). After further discussion with the City, it was agreed that the remainder of this study will primarily consider the projections in the low planning scenario.

Maximum day demands were analyzed by FNI as part of a recent, separate study for the City and summarized in an August 2023 Technical Memorandum produced as part of the Water System Model Update. FNI determined that the ratio between maximum day and average day water 7 Water Supply Planning Study ® FREESE City of Beaumont, TX KNICHOLS production has historically ranged from 1.2 to 1.7. A peaking ratio within this range should be applied when considering necessary water production capacity; namely, treatment, storage, and pumping capacity. Assuming an annual demand of 28 MGD (low and high production scenario, year 2030) results in a maximum day water production of roughly 47.6 MGD if the maximum peaking factor historically seen, 1..7, is applied. It is important to note that in the summer of 2023, during a severe drought, water demand and production exceeded 45 MGD according to City staff; thereby, substantiating this assumption. :.

Pro Rata Water Allocation In the event that the triggering criteria specified in section 22.06.008(3) of the plan for stage 3 severe water shortage conditions have been met, 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) The city will include a provision in every wholesale water contract entered into or renewed after adoption of the plan, including contract extensions, that in case of a shortage of water resulting from drought, the water to be distributed shall be divided in accordance with Texas Water Code, §11.039. (2) A wholesale customer's daily 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. (3) A daily 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 day for the previous five (5) year period. If the wholesale water customer's billing history is less than five (5) years, the daily average for the period for which there is a record shall be used for any daily period for which no billing history exists. (4) The city manager shall provide notice, by certified mail, to each wholesale customer informing them of their daily water usage allocations and shall notify the news media and the executive director of the TCEQ upon initiation of pro rata water allocation. (5) Upon request of the customer or at the initiative of the city manager the allocation may be reduced or increased if: (A) The designated period does not accurately reflect the wholesale customer's 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.
