CITY OF YELMRESOLUTION NUMBER 556

RESTRICTING THE USE OF WATER FOR IRRIGATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 13.04.097YELMMUNICIPAL CODE AND ESTABLISHING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION

OF WATER CONSERVATION MEASURES IN 2015

WHEREAS, Section 13.04.097 YMC states that the City reserves the right for any

cause to make any order regulating forbidding or restricting the use of water for

irrigation or sprinkling or any other non-essential outside usage; and

WHEREAS, irrigation water through irrigation meters within the City of Yelm used

68.7 acre feet of water in 2009, enough water to provide potable water for 285 homes;

and

WHEREAS, irrigation water through irrigation meters accounted for 8.5% of allwater used in Yelm in 2009; and

WHEREAS, irrigation water usage significantly adds to the peak demand needs of

the City of Yelm water system, requiring costly infrastructure improvements including

source capacity, storage, and distribution lines; and

WHEREAS, the City conducted a water audit that shows almost twice as much

water is used to irrigate commercial landscaping and recreational open space as is

required to keep these areas healthy and productive; and

WHEREAS, the City utilized the Washington Irrigation Guide, published by the

National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) and data from the Environmental

Protection Agency to determine that typical landscaping plants comprised of trees and

shrubs require 11.53 inches of irrigation water per season in the Yelm area to remain

healthy and productive; and

WHEREAS, the City desires to promote water conservation by watering street

trees (trees in the public right of way) only as needed during the irrigation season with

reclaimed water and allowing grass in planter strips within the public right of way to go

dormant; and

WHEREAS, many private storm ponds within residential and commercialdevelopments have irrigation systems that were installed to establish storm pond

plantings but are not required for long term maintenance of the ponds; and

WHEREAS, residential irrigation is not metered separately through irrigation

meters but is a significant portion of total water usage in Yelm; and

restrictions that require lots to be maintained in a manner which requires significant

irrigation of lawns; and

and conflict with water conservation policies; and

conservation program based on these tenets in 2010 which resulted in a significant

reduction in irrigation water usage; and

Whereas, the City Council adopted Resolutions 522, 531, 539, and 550 which

continued the water conservation program from 2011 through 2014; and

its water supply in the most efficient manner possible, limiting discretionary use;
