SUBJECT: REVIEW OF WATER CONSUMPTION DATA FOR DR. H. JAY KERR
On November 20, 2014, Dr. H. Jay Kerr requested that the Board consider providing
relief from staff's final decision that a $2,158.20 capacity fee was owed for a 1,680-
square foot building constructed adjacent to an existing 30,310 square foot commercial
building; a 6% increase in size. Dr. Kerr contended that no additional wastewater would
be generated from his new building. The Board requested staff monitor water
consumption data after completion of the building and compare to the 2014 baseline.
Construction was completed on the new building in April 2015. That same month, the
governor issued an executive order requiring a statewide 25% reduction in potable
water use due to the drought.
Staff has reviewed annual water consumption data for 2012 through 2016 for Dr. Kerr's
parcel. The parcel is served by two water meters, one of which shows large seasonal
variations in flow so consumption from that meter is adjusted based on Winter Quarter
consumption when calculating the annual sewer service charge. Annual water
consumption, including the Winter Quarter adjustment, is shown in the table below.
Staff believes that the 32% decrease in water consumption from 2014 to 2015 is most
likely due to changes related to water conservation from the drought and that this value
would likely be the best representation of baseline water use.
From 2015 to 2016, water consumption increased 12%.

Overall, staff believes that the data collected to date does not support any definitive
conclusion at this time and we will continue to monitor.
