This item provides a status of the ongoing conservation and demand management activities of Tampa Bay Water and the Member Governments. RECOMMENDATION: Receive Status Rept. DISCUSSION: Detailed collection of Member Government data occurs through codination with Members and their enfcement staff. Member conservation tables were developed through feedback from Member Government conservation staff and are updated monthly. Repting on water conservation and restriction enfcement undertaken by Member Governments has a one-month lag due to recds processing. Regional Demand Management Activities Many items are directly related to monthly meetings of the Conservation Codination Constium (CCC) between Tampa Bay Water, Member Governments, the Southwest Flida Water Management District (SWFWMD), and the Flida-Friendly Landscaping (FFL) program. Feb 2016 Held soil moisture sens wkshop developed by University of Flida IFAS with FIS promotion (60+ people attended). UF Program f Resource Efficient Communities provided presentation to CCC. Tampa Bay Water adopted April as water conservation month- wking with members, FSAWWA and state to get adoptions up and to get Flida Cabinet sponsship. Got date of proclamation adoption established and developed list of attendees in Tallahassee. Compiled five-year conservation plans provided to Board.

The agency has a lead role in researching technology efficiency improvements that can be used actively by Members and others; passively through national, state, and local criteria and standards development. Program Type Status Flida-Friendly Landscaping (previously FYN) Continuing environmental education in Pinellas, Pasco and Hillsbough Counties. Implementation occurring throughout tri-county area. Public education codinats implementing consistent water saving estimation techniques to focus on reducing excess water use in landscapes and insuring adequate training. Hillsbough County FFL codinating with Hillsbough County Water Resources Department on implementation of soil moisture sens rebate Water-Wise Awards Program Determination of Landscape Irrigation Water Use in Southwest Flida Conservation awards and promotion of droughttolerant landscapes. IFAS-based research throughout District with SWFWMD. Tampa Bay Water funded - part of Consolidated WUP compliance action. program program initiated. Materials developed f distribution and promotion during March and April. Website updated f 2016 program. Manatee County using criteria. Wked with SWFWMD and IFAS staff to develop consistent water use metrics f evaluating outdo water use trends, specifically irrigation, throughout the 16-county region and how to relate to FFL landscaping. Results can be used to determine what level of irrigation could be expected in non FFL landscapes versus those with this type of landscaping and may meet Tampa Bay Water expectations. Provided data field info to UF IFAS.
