CII Task Force•DWR in conjunction with the CUWCC must:
• Create a Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional (CII) Task Force.
• Scope: Develop alternative best management practices for the CII water sector.
TimelineFirst Meeting: March 2011Monthly MeetingsPreliminary draft: December 2011Public Workshop: January 12, 2012Due Date to the Legislature: April 1, 2012Last meeting: August 15, 2012

CII TF PurposeDevelop a report which DWR will present to
the legislature containing the following:Metrics CII water demandsPublic infrastructure to deliver recycled water Institutional and economic barriers to
increased recycled water use Technical feasibility and cost of the user BMPs
for efficient water use statewide in the CII Sector.
Key Information in Report Best Management Practices
Uses Standards Alternative Water Supplies
Recycled Water Metrics Cost Effectiveness
9
BMPs: Device Based Standards
Dishwashers Toilets/Urinals Ice Machines Faucets Laundry Systems
Mandatory: Plumbing codes, Green Building Standards
Voluntary: Watersense, energy star, LEED
10
BMPs: Alternative Water Supplies On-site water recycling
Blowdown Process water Condensate
Stormwater/rainwater capture
Graywater Recommendation: BSC should
update plumbing codes to include alternative water supplies
11
Key Findings: Metrics
There is no single metric that can be applied to CII uses
Each use site is unique Metrics can be used to track
efficiency trends both statewide and at the individual user level
Better collection of statewide water use data is needed
12
Recycled Water-Infrastructure Encourage more local
planning Develop state master plan Provide State and Federal
funding
13
Recycled Water- Overcoming Barriers Improve statutes to overcome
regulatory barriers while protecting public health and water quality
Consistently implement State Board Policy and Regulations
Align plumbing code and recycled water regulations
Update Ocean Plan for brine disposal
Educate water users and suppliers
Competitively price recycled water
Provide quality to match the use Increase system reliability
15
Next Steps: BMP Implementation
Get the Word out Workshops Technical Assistance
Stakeholder commitment and support Customer self audits Water agency conservation programs
16
Next Steps: Track Success Develop mechanisms for tracking
and reporting water use data, audits, implementation and improvements Voluntary and anonymous
reporting by industry, compare to industry standards
Improved water use reporting to DWR
Reporting from DWR to the legislature
17
Next Steps: Advancements in Technology
Maintain up-to-date BMP information (CUWCC)
Set efficiency standards for devices and equipment
Ensure up to date building codes
18
Local Water Supplier Role Standardize water use data reporting Implement water conservation
programs Incentives, audits, technical
assistance outreach and education Support efforts to maintain up to date
BMPs Support standards
development/legislation
19
Local Recycled Agency Role
Take steps to overcome barriers to recycled water use Competitive pricing of recycled
water Public outreach Work with regulatory agencies Local planning for recycled water
use Develop and find funding for
needed infrastructure
20
Industry’s Role Promote implementation of
BMPs and recycled water Develop efficient technologies Conduct self audits to
determine opportunities for efficiencies
Implement cost effective improvements
Seek outside funding incentives
21
State Agency Roles Recycled water regulation and
planning (SWRCB, CDPH, DWR, CEC) Support funding for BMPS/recycled
water/alternative water (DWR, SWRCB,CPUC)
Develop approach for comprehensive water use data collection (DWR, CDPH, SWRCB, CPUC)
Updated codes and standards (Building Standards Commission, CEC)
