Water Security | 14.3 | Please select the actions you are taking to reduce the risks to your city’s water security. | 4 | Action description and implementation progress | 1 | In 2000, the city’s Water Conservation Future Study (WCFS) set a goal to reduce total citywater use (using a 1994 to 1996 baseline) by 10 percent at buildout, which was definedas the year 2020. Although the city met and exceeded this goal in 2011, the city’supdate to the WCFS, titled the 2016 Water Efficiency Plan, summarized climate change,population growth and other factors can be expected to increase the city’s future wateruse. This report recommended to maintain the current water conservation goals to suppressincreased water usage and prevent backsliding in water use efficiencies achievedto date while adapting to changing conditions. Every seven years, in conjunction withstate reporting requirements, the city will evaluate whether or not new water conservationgoals are needed. Specific water management strategies that support emissions reductions include:1.Expand water conservation programs that focus on outdoor irrigation, which may alsosupport better identification of water-related carbon sequestering opportunities suchas using soil amendments, native grasses and proper tree watering.2.Promote measures that reduce the energy needed to heat, treat and transport water,including continued evaluation of new hydroelectric and photovoltaic opportunities.3.Evaluate opportunities for real-time water and energy metering that may helpcustomers better understand and reduce their water and energy consumption.The Water Conservation Program offers support services to City of Boulder customers who want to be more efficient with their water use. | |||

Water Security | 14.3 | Please select the actions you are taking to reduce the risks to your city’s water security. | 4 | Action description and implementation progress | 2 | In April 2016, the city received a grant from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, and facilitation assistance from the Colorado Rural Water Association to formalize current and future protection efforts in a Source Water Protection Plan (SWPP). Overall, the potential for stormwater runoff and erosion/sediment transport impacts from wildfire and floods were among the highest ranked potential sources of contamination. More than 50 voluntary best management practices were identified to protect the water supply. These practices have been compiled into an action plan in this SWPP that will serve as a guide for the city to work with partners towards minimizing potential water quality impacts to the reservoirs and tributaries that contribute to the city’s water supply. The city will track best management practice implementation and will assess the effectiveness of implementing water supply protection activities through the city’s ongoing water quality monitoring program.https://bouldercolorado.gov/media/1563/download?inlineThe city implements an extensive water quality monitoring program, routinely collecting and analyzing water quality samples at the source water reservoirs and tributaries. The data collected through the monitoring program are analyzed using statistical methods to allow city staff to identify trends or changes in water quality, comply with federal and state water quality regulations and city goals, understand water quality improvements or degradation from watershed activities, and detect potential sources of contamination. City staff re-evaluate the monitoring program annually and develop annual source water quality reports. Information on the city’s drinking water quality is available online: https://bouldercolorado.gov/water/drinking-water-quality. | |||

Water Security | 14.3 | Please select the actions you are taking to reduce the risks to your city’s water security. | 4 | Action description and implementation progress | 3 | The city is fortunate to have three distinct sources of drinking water, providing redundancy in the system and allowing the city to shut down an intake if a source becomes temporarily unusable. The city can also control some inflows and divert ditches or creeks away from drinking water reservoirs if needed, providing extra resilience to the water supply.Like many front range municipalities, one of the ways the City of Boulder manages the year-to-year variation in water supply is through its agricultural water leasing program. The city’s water supply is largely driven by annual precipitation, particularly snow melt, which varies from year to year. In average or above average supply years, the leasing program allows the city to make surplus water supply available to other users. | |||

Water Security | 14.3 | Please select the actions you are taking to reduce the risks to your city’s water security. | 4 | Action description and implementation progress | 4 | The one-megawatt solar photovoltaic system at the city's Wastewater Treatment Facility has generated more than six million kilowatt-hours of electricity, saving utility ratepayers more than $200,000. The system began generating clean, renewable power in August 2010 and has operated efficiently and reliably ever since, producing about 14 percent of the facility’s annual power needs. Solar was also installed on both the Betasso and 63rd street water treatment plants. | |||

Water Security | 14.3 | Please select the actions you are taking to reduce the risks to your city’s water security. | 4 | Action description and implementation progress | 5 | The stormwater quality program consists of public education, water quality monitoring, regulatory compliance, and source control. Many of these efforts are required by the city's municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) permit. The city also participates in the Keep It Clean Partnership (KICP), a regional stormwater program providing public education and outreach. | |||
