2025 URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN <br /> MAY 2026/FINAL DRAFT/CAROLLO <br /> ■ CII BMPs and In-Lieu Technologies Implementation Plan - create a customized implementation plan <br /> mapping compliance with the Conservation Framework regulation, including the CII BMP <br /> requirements of§974, the in-lieu technologies and accompanying BMP requirements in §973, and <br /> disclosable buildings requirements in §974a. <br /> ■ Miscellaneous Framework Technical Assistance—various activities such as: <br /> >> Development of metrics and annual targets to demonstrate progress. <br /> Additional training or technical support. <br /> >> Workshop or webinar facilitation to spur cross-team collaborations. <br /> >> Develop outreach and engagement plans and implement meetings to support engagement of <br /> internal and external collaborators. <br /> Meter Area Measurements Program <br /> The program assists Orange County water suppliers in providing (1) landscape area measurements (LAM) <br /> associated with DIMs,which may include the creation of water efficiency budgets for dedicated landscape <br /> meter customers; (2) identification MUMS irrigating landscapes greater than half acre and subject to the <br /> regulation; and (3) reconciliation of DIM and residential LAMS where areas may overlap. <br /> 9.3.2 Regional Rebate Programs and Local Program Assistance <br /> MET administers and manages the City of Santa Ana's water-saving rebate programs on behalf of the City, <br /> such as the Turf Replacement Program. Through MET's BeWaterWise website and the SoCal Water$mart <br /> program, guidelines and outreach help Santa Ana customers improve water-use efficiency while providing <br /> support and administration for rebate incentives. In partnership with MWDOC, MET offers a holistic suite <br /> of programs accessible to all customer groups in the region and supports Santa Ana in developing and <br /> implementing programs within its service area. This collaboration includes assisting the City with the <br /> agency's program needs, including identifying target customer classes, acquiring grant funding from a <br /> variety of sources, and implementing, marketing, reporting on, and evaluating program performance. On <br /> behalf of Santa Ana, MET and MWDOC also organize and provide the following: <br /> ■ Monthly coordinator meetings. <br /> ■ Marketing materials. <br /> ■ Public speaking. <br /> ■ Community events. <br /> 9.3.3 Research and Evaluation <br /> An essential part of MWDOC's regional water use efficiency program is the ongoing research and <br /> evaluation of both existing and potential initiatives. Research allows an agency to measure the water <br /> savings benefits of a specific program and compare those benefits to the costs of implementing the <br /> program. This allows the agency to evaluate the economic feasibility of the program when compared to <br /> other efficiency projects or existing or potential sources of supply, before investing in new initiatives or <br /> continuing to implement existing programs. MWDOC routinely conducts statistical water savings (impact) <br /> evaluations and process evaluations to guide strategic investment and ensure the effective management <br /> of its regional water use efficiency programs. <br /> CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />
