Drought Contingency Plan for
Sanger, Texas
July 15 AV10
SECTION 1
Introduction and Objectives
The purpose of this Drought Contingency Plan (the "Plan") is to provide for drought contingency
measures for San er as required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ("TCEQ")
and the Upper Trinity Regional Water District ("UTRWD"). Such contingency measures may be
needed during drought conditions, during an emergency and when water use approaches the
Regional Treated Water System ("System") supply or the capacity of treatment and delivery
facilities. Examples of drought or emergency conditions include low levels of water supply
lakes, unusually high water, demands, unforeseen equipment / system failure or contamination
of the water supply source.
Sanger developed its original plans for drought contingency in 2009. This update of the Plan
has been coordinated with the suggested model drought contingency plan prepared by UTRWD
for its Members and Customers, such as Sanger, and is consistent with TCEQ's model drought
contingency plan and the latest requirements outlined below. The provisions and responses
outlined in this Plan are intended to be uniformly applied among UTRWD's Members and
Customers.
Sanger uses the following source(s) of water: groundwater pumped plus treated surface water
supplied by UTRWD. The total combined amount from these sources is normally sufficient to
provide water for residential and commercial customers and to maintain adequate reserve
quantities and pressure from storage facilities to meet emergency and firefighting demands.
Drought is a frequent and inevitable factor in the climate of Texas. Therefore, it is vital to plan
for the effect that droughts will have on the use, allocation Cl" conservation of water in the
region. Drought contingency planning is one critical element of a water supplier's effort to
reduce peak water demands and extend water supplies, The following are the central
objectives of this Plan:
• Help assure reliability of water service to retail customers;
• Conserve the available water supply in times of drought and emergency;
• Maintain adequate water supplies for domestic use, sanitation and fire protection;
• Protect and preserve public health, welfare and. safety;
• Minimize the adverse impacts of water supply shortages and
• Minimize the adverse impacts of emergency conditions affecting water supply.

Drought Contingency Plan - - Emergency Response Stages
The City Manager, or official designee, may order the initiation or termination of a drought
response stage or water emergency when one or more of the trigger conditions for that stage is
met as provided in this Section. The triggering criteria described below are based on the ability
of Sanger to deliver treated water to its customers and / or the ability of UTRWD to deliver
treated water to Sanger. Water supply and / or demand conditions are monitored by both
San er and UTRWD on a regular basis to determine when conditions warrant initiation or
termination of a drought response stage.
7.1 Initiation of Drought Response Stages
The following actions will be taken when a drought response stage is initiated:
• The public will be notified through local media, the Sanger website and other appropriate
methods as described in Section 3 above;
• Unless otherwise implemented by UTRWD, Sanger will notify UTRWD by telephone with
a follow-up letter, e-mail or fax to confirm implementation of any drought response stage
and to provide relevant details and
• Sanger will also notify the Executive Director of the TCEQ within five (5) business
days.
When specific drought response stages are announced by UTRWD, Sanger and other entities
receiving water from UTRWD are required to implement the appropriate measures. For other
trigger conditions not announced by UTRWD, the City Manager, or official designee, may
implement contingency measures based on local conditions affecting Sanger; or for good cause
may decide not to order the implementation of a drought response stage or water emergency
even though one or more trigger criteria for the stages are met. Various factors are taken into
account when making a decision about such stages, including circumstances unique to Sanger,
the time of the year, weather conditions, the anticipation of replenished water supplies, use of
an alternate water resource or the anticipation that additional facilities will become available on
a timely basis to meet needs. The reason for such decision will be documented and
communicated to UTRWD for the record.
7.2 Termination of Drought Response Stages
The following actions will be taken when a drought response stage is terminated:
• The public will be notified through local media, the Sanger website and other appropriate
methods as described in Section 3 above;
• UTRWD will be notified by telephone with afollow-up letter, e-mail or fax to confirm the
particular drought response stage has been terminated and
• Sanger will also notify the Executive Director of the TCEQ within five (5) business
days.
The City Manager, or official designee, may decide not to order the termination of a drought
,'' response stage or water emergency even though the conditions for termination of the stage are
met. Various factors could influence such a decision about whether to end a specific stage,
Sanger Drought Contingency Plan 4
1' including circumstances unique to Sanger, the time of the year, weather conditions, and
conditions within the local water distribution system or anticipation of other relevant factors that
warrant continuation of measures for the drought stage. The reason for such decision will be
documented and communicated to UTRWD for the record.
7.3 Drought and Emergency Response Stages
A. Stage 1 —Water Watch
Requirements for Initiation
The following are key conditions, any one of which may trigger this stage:
• UTRWD has announced Stage 1 —Water Watch, which may be a result of:

dropped below 75% (25% depleted); or
o Dallas Water Utilities (a source of raw water to UTRWD) has initiated Stage 1
and given notice to UTRWD; or
o UTRWD, with concurrence of the Board of Directors, finds that conditions warrant
the declaration of Stage 1; or
• Water demand has reached or exceeded 80% of delivery capacity for three
consecutive days; or
• Water demand is approaching a level that will cause a reduced delivery capacity for all
or part of the distribution system, as determined by Sanger or
• The water supply system has a significant limitation due to failure of or damage to
important water system components.
Goal
Stage 1 is intended to raise public awareness of potential drought and water emergency
problems. The goal for water use reduction under Stage 1 is five percent (5%) of total daily
water use that otherwise would have occurred in the absence of drought contingency measures.
If circumstances warrant, the City Manager can set a goal for greater or lesser water use
reduction.
Water Use Restrictions for Reducing Demand
Under this stage, customers will be requested to conserve water through mandatory and
voluntary measures, and to comply with restrictions on certain non -essential water use as
C provided, below. Specific measures to be implemented during the stage will be determined by
Sanger Drought Contingency Plan �
the San er's City Manager, or official designee. The City Manager, or official designee, may
also take other actions not listed, if deemed necessary.
