Written Communications:
Report dated March 3, 1998, from the Administrative Services Director, advising that water
allocation for landscape accounts reflected both real-time weather data and the
evapotranspiration rate of plants. Agricultural allocation rates were based on historic weather
patterns and did not adjust for the changing seasonal needs of crops. In addition, agricultural
accounts received a smaller allocation per square foot than landscape accounts. Based on
scientific input from the Orange County Cooperative Extension and the District's experience
with landscape allocations, the Report recommended changing the agricultural allocation to
the equivalent of the landscape allocation.
Approval of Agricultural Water Rate Change:
It was moved by Director Hart, seconded by Director Greiner and unanimously carried to
approve the change in the agricultural rate code (G), and to adopt Schedule A as modified.
