2019 CITY OF KENNEDALE WATER CONSERVATION PLAN
SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE
One of the key directives of a municipality is to manage the available water resources so that sufficient water
will be available for current and future generations. Increasing population and periodic droughts have
highlighted the importance of the efficient use of our water supplies. The City of Kennedale has developed
this Water Conservation Plan (the "Plan") in accordance with Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
(TCEQ) guidelines and requirements. Numerous water conservation programs were reviewed to ensure that
the Plan is consistent with others in the North Texas area. The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB)
template, guidelines, and best management practices (BMP) were all utilized in the creation of this Plan.
OBJECTIVES OF THIS WATER CONSERVATION PLAN
■ Reduce water consumption from the levels that would prevail without conservation efforts
■ Reduce the loss and waste of water
■ Improve efficiency in the use of water
■ Encourage efficient outdoor water use
■ Extend the life of current water supplies by reducing the rate of growth in demand
SECTION 2 TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY RULES
TCEQ rules governing development of Water Conservation Plans for public water suppliers are contained in
Title 30, Part 1, Chapter 288, Subchapter A, Rule 288.2 of the Texas Administrative Code (Appendix B). For
the purpose of these rules, a Water Conservation Plan is "a strategy or combination of strategies for reducing the
volume of water withdrawn from a water supply source, for reducing the loss or waste of water, for maintaining or
improving the efficiency in the use of water, for increasing the recycling and reuse of water, and for preventing the
pollution of water." The elements in the TCEQ water conservation rules covered in this Plan are listed below.

SECTION 3 WATER UTILITY PROFILE
The City of Kennedale currently provides retail water and wastewater collection services to approximately
7,000 customers. The majority of the wastewater collected travels through the City of Arlington system to
the Trinity River Authority (TRA) wastewater treatment plant in Dallas, Texas. A small portion of the
wastewater collected in northwest Kennedale is sent to the Fort Worth wastewater treatment plant. The City
of Kennedale owns six (6) groundwater wells (five (5) of which are operable) and also purchases treated water
from the City of Fort Worth. Appendix C contains Kennedale's water utility profile based on the format
developed by TWDB.

2019 CITY OF KENNEDALE WATER CONSERVATION PLAN
SECTION 4 RECORD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND WATER RATE STRUCTURE
As required by TAC Title 30, Part 1, Chapter 288, Subchapter A, Rule 288.2(a)(1)(B), the record management
system for the City of Kennedale records water pumped, water delivered, and water sold; estimates water
losses; and allows for the separation of water sales and uses into residential, commercial, public/institutional,
and industrial categories. This information is included in all annual reports required by the TWDB and TCEQ.
The City of Kennedale has conservation -oriented water rate structures in place. Each customer is first
charged a flat rate based on meter size (Table 4-1). Usage (or volume) charges are assessed according to an
increasing block rate structure, aimed at encouraging conservation. The rates shown (Table 4-1) were
effective as of September 17, 2018, and are subject to change as the City continues to refine its rate
structures to improve the impact on water conservation and effectively manage the cost of service.

SECTION 5 SPECIFICATION OF WATER CONSERVATION GOALS
In keeping with TCEQ requirements, the specific water conservation goals for this Plan include the following:
■ Maintain the 5-year moving average total per capita water use below specified amount (Table 5-1).
■ Continue a program of universal metering and meter replacement and repair (Section 6.2).
■ Continue to maintain a program for pressure reduction in the distribution system.
■ Raise public awareness of water conservation and encourage responsible public behavior by a public
education and information program (Section 7.2).
■ Maintain and continue developing the landscape water management program to increase efficient
water usage and decrease waste in lawn irrigation (Section 7.5).

SECTION 6 METERING
One of the key elements in water conservation is careful tracking of water use and control of losses.
6.1 ACCURATE SOURCE WATER METERING
■ Water delivery from each of the five (5) operational groundwater wells is individually metered by the
City of Kennedale using meters with accuracy of at least ±5%. These meters are calibrated every three
(3) years and the accuracy of each is checked at least annually. Meters are replaced when they are
reading more than ±5% off.
■ Water delivery from the City of Fort Worth is metered by Fort Worth using a meter with accuracy of
at least ±5%. Fort Worth can access the meter at all reasonable times; and the meter is calibrated at
least annually to maintain the required accuracy.
6.2 UNIVERSAL METERING
■ The City of Kennedale meters all connections within the distribution system.
■ In 2013, all meters in the City of Kennedale were replaced with highly accurate smart meters with an
accuracy of ±2%.
■ All meters will be maintained within acceptable operating accuracy range as defined by the
manufacturer. Malfunctioning or inaccurate meters will be checked and replaced if found to be
outside of manufacturer specifications.

PAGE 5 OF 37
2019 CITY OF KENNEDALE WATER CONSERVATION PLAN
7.2 Public Education and Information Program
■ The billing system (implemented in 2013) allows customers to pay online as well as access a wealth of
conservation information. They can monitor their use, compare their consumption to neighbors, and
read about saving water and money through conservation.
■ Links to Texas Smartscape (www.txsmartscape.com) and other sites offering conservation
information are available on the City website.
■ As part of the Tarrant Regional Water District's (TRWD) customer base, the City of Kennedale
supports the regional water conservation media campaign, "Water isAwesome".
■ Promotion of SaveTarrantWater.com, a centralized source for North Texas water conservation
information that provides information on water resources, sustainability, and local events.
■ Information about water conservation and current drought information will continue to be included in
the City of Kennedale e-newsletter and utility bill inserts.
7.4 Ordinances, Plumbing Codes, or Rules on Water -Conserving Fixtures
The State of Texas has required water -conserving fixtures in new construction and renovations since 1992.
State standards call for flows of no more than 1.6 gallons per flush for toilets, 2.5 gallons per minute (gpm) for
faucets, and 3.0 gpm for showerheads. Federal law now requires similar standards as well. The City of
Kennedale (via Ordinance 603) requires new development to follow the 2015 International Plumbing Code.
These standards assure that new construction and renovations will use water -conserving fixtures.
7.3 Leak Detection and Repair
Measures to control unaccounted water are part of the routine operations of the City of Kennedale; and are
carried out by Arlington Water Utilities (AWU) under an agreement that provides for the City of Arlington to
operate and maintain the City of Kennedale water and wastewater utility system. In order to maintain water
delivery service and reduce unaccounted water losses, AWU and other City departments report evidence of
leaks and pipeline breaks within the distribution system. Once identified, leaks and breaks are quickly
repaired. AWU Field Operations has an ongoing program for locating, repairing, and operating all valves in the
distribution system to minimize water loss due to inoperable or malfunctioning valves.
AWU has implemented a full-time leak detection program aimed at proactively detecting and locating
distribution system leaks to reduce unaccounted water. The entire distribution system of water lines is rated
using software that utilizes work order history, pipe material, age of pipe, and soil condition, which allows
AWU to identify waterlines most in need of replacement. This ranking system allows lines in which numerous
leaks and/or breaks occur to be prioritized for replacement as funding becomes available. Once the full-time
leak detection program is fully implemented, the identification process for water line replacement will be
updated accordingly as a result of any new information.
7.5 Landscape Water Management Regulations
The City of Kennedale's landscaping regulations encourage the use of native and adapted drought -tolerant
plants; and some planned development or special districts require native and adaptive plants and permit the
use of rain cisterns. In addition, the following regulations are in place to minimize waste in irrigation:
■ Prohibition of outdoor watering with sprinklers from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., year-round.
(Watering with hand-held hoses, soaker hoses, or dispensers is allowed.)
■ Requirement that all new irrigation systems include rain and freeze sensors.
■ Year -Round limitation of landscape watering with sprinklers or irrigation systems at each service
address (including parks and sports fields) to a twice weekly schedule:
Residential addresses ending in an even number (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8) may water on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Residential addresses ending in an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7 or 9) may water on Thursdays and Sundays.
Non -Residential (apartments, businesses, industries, parks, medians, etc.) may water on Tuesdays and Fridays.
SECTION 8 PLAN UPDATE AND REVIEW
This Plan will be reviewed at least every five years, as required by TCEQ rules. The Plan — or its sections —
may be amended, revised, or updated anytime it is appropriate to include new information.

Sec. 23-337. Drought Contingency and Emergency Water Management Plan
(a) The City has adopted the Plan which is on file and available for inspection at the City
Secretary's office. The Plan may be amended from time to time by adopting an ordinance
amending the Plan.
(b) Purpose and scope. The purpose of this section is to establish the city's policy in the event
of shortages or delivery limitations in the city's water supply and to establish water restrictions to
be enforced in case of drought or emergency conditions. This section applies to:
(1)
All persons and premises within the city using water from the water system;
(2) All retail customers who live in unincorporated areas within the city's
extraterritorial jurisdiction and are served by the water system; and
(3) All wholesale service customers outside the city to the extent provided in
subsection (h).
(c) Authority. The director is authorized to implement measures prescribed when required by
this section and by the Plan approved by the city council. The director is authorized to enforce
the measures implemented and to promulgate regulations, not in conflict with this section, the
Plan or state and federal laws, in aid of enforcement.
(d) Initiation of Plan stages. The director may order that the appropriate stage of the Plan be
initiated upon determination that drought conditions or a water emergency exists. To be
effective, the order must be made by some or all of the following methods:
(1) publication in the local newspaper;
Page 2 of 10
PAGE 20 OF 37
2019 CITY OF KENNEDALE WATER CONSERVATION PLAN
(2) publication on the city's website; or
(3) publication on utility bill inserts, the city's newsletter, or public access channel.
(e) Duration of stage; change. A stage will remain in effect until the conditions that triggered
initiation of the stage have been eliminated. If the stage is initiated because of excessive
demands, all initiated actions will remain in effect through September 30 of the year in which
they were triggered unless the director determines that conditions exist that will allow
termination of the stage before September 30. When conditions change, the director may
terminate, upgrade or downgrade the stage. Any such change must be made in the same manner
prescribed in subsection (d).
(f) Violation of section. A person commits an offense if he knowingly makes, causes or
permits a use of water contrary to the measures implemented by the director as prescribed in the
Plan. For purposes of this subsection, it is presumed that a person has knowingly made, caused
or permitted a use of water contrary to the measures implemented if the mandatory measures
have been formally ordered consistent with the terms of subsection (d) and:
(1) The manner of use has been prohibited by the Plan;
(2) The amount of water used exceeds that allowed by the Plan; or
(3) The manner or amount used violates the terms and conditions of a compliance
agreement made pursuant to a variance granted by the director.
(g) Penalties/enforcement of violations. Any person who is convicted of violating,
disobeying, omitting, neglecting or refusing to comply with a measure implemented in
accordance with this section and the Plan will be given a written warning that he has violated a
mandatory water use restriction as a first offense. Any person who is convicted of violating,
disobeying, omitting, neglecting or refusing to comply with a measure implemented in
accordance with this section and the Plan may be fined not more than $2,000.00 for each
subsequent offense. In addition, the following penalties shall apply:

refusing to comply with a measure implemented in accordance with this section and stage
2 of the Plan as a second offense, shall be fined not less than $250.00.

PAGE 21 OF 37
2019 CITY OF KENNEDALE WATER CONSERVATION PLAN
(4) If a person is convicted of violating, disobeying, omitting, neglecting or refusing
to comply with a measure implemented in accordance with this section and the Plan as a
third offense, the director may either:
a. Install a flow restrictor in the water line to the premises where the
violations occurred to limit the amount of water that may pass through the meter
in a 24-hour period or a lock -out device to a backflow assembly; or
b. Discontinue water service to the premises where the violation occurred.
(h) Wholesale service to customers outside the city. The director shall advise customers
receiving wholesale water service from the city of actions taken under the Plan. The director may
restrict service to customers outside the city as permitted under the contract and state law.
(i) Authority under other laws. Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the
authority of the mayor, the city council or the city manager to seek emergency relief under the
provisions of any state or federal disaster relief act.
(j) Variances. During the times the emergency order is operative, the director may grant
variances only under the following circumstances and conditions:
(1) The applicant signs a compliance agreement on a form provided by the director,
and approved by the city attorney, agreeing to use the water only in the amount and
manner permitted by the variance;
(2) Granting of the variance would not cause an immediate significant reduction in
the city's water supply;
(3) Failure to approve the variance would result in an extreme hardship or need
relating to the health, safety or welfare of the applicant; and
(4) Granting the variance would not adversely affect the premises at which the
violation occurred.
(k) Revocation of Variances. The director may revoke a variance when he or she determines
that:
(1) The conditions of subsection (j) are not being met or are no longer applicable;
(2) The terms of the compliance agreement are being violated; or
(3) Revocation is advisable to protect the health, safety or welfare of other persons.
(1) Appeal. Denial or revocation of a variance by the director may be appealed to the city
manager by filing a written notice of appeal with the city manager within ten days after issuance
of the director's decision. The city manager's decision shall be final.
