There will be a conservation charge invoiced to the customer for any year wherein the gross annual water use of nonpotable water for golf course and landscape irrigation does not equal or exceed 80 percent of the total water for golf course and landscape irrigation. This conservation charge revenue will be used by CVWD to fund conservation programs designed to protect the aquifer, in keeping with the intent of the nonpotable water agreement. CVWD will determine the total number of acre-feet of nonpotable water used below 80 percent by the customer in the fiscal year. The fiscal year shall be from July 1st to June 30th. CVWD will provide an update on the customer’s performance in meeting this 80 percent requirement. The conservation charge will be calculated by multiplying the number of acre-feet below 80 percent by one-half of the nonpotable water charge. An invoice will be sent to the customer within 60 days of the end of any fiscal year where the customer used less than 80 percent nonpotable water.

If CVWD interrupts service of nonpotable water as described in CVWDC 3.10.510, for example, such interruption will be considered in the calculation to determine whether or not the requirement to use 80 percent nonpotable water has been met.
