SB 1115: demand calculator; rules; conservation code
Sponsor: Senator Dunn, LD 25
Committee on Natural Resources, Energy & Water
Overview
Requires the Director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) to adopt rules to update the project demand calculator every five years.
History
A.A.C. R12-15-701 defines projected demand as the 100-year water demand at build-out, not including committed or current demand, of customers reasonably projected to be added and plats reasonably projected to be approved within the designated provider’s service area and reasonably anticipated expansions of the designated provider’s service area.
Currently ADWR requires applicants of the Assured Water Supply and Adequate Water Supply Programs to demonstrate projected demand in new and expanded developments. ADWR's project demand calculator allows applicants to estimate water demands using reported water use data, census data and demand data consistent with the management plan for the respective active management area (AMA). Applicants can also provide their own demand calculations along with an explanation of the justifications and assumptions used to estimate the subdivision's demand. (ADWR)
Provisions
1. Requires the Director of ADWR to adopt rules to update the project demand calculator on the effective date of this act and every fifth year thereafter. (Sec. 1)
2. Requires the adopted rules to:
a) provide all inputs that ADWR's project demand calculator uses; and
b) reflect the latest conservation codes in effect when rulemaking occurs. (Sec. 1)
3. Authorizes the Director of ADWR to conduct expedited rulemaking to adopt rules. (Sec. 1)
