§ 1.0. Introduction.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has developed guidelines and requirements governing development of water conservation plans for public water suppliers. The TCEQ rules governing the water conservation plans are contained in Title 30, Part 1, Chapter 288, Subchapter A, Rule 288.2 of the Texas Administrative Code. The provisions of Chapter 288 require the City of Irving to develop, submit, and implement a formal water conservation plan to minimize municipal water use through implementation of efficient water use practices. The TCEQ guidelines and requirements for water suppliers are included in Appendix G.

The objectives of the water conservation plan are:

• To reduce water consumption.

• To reduce the loss and waste of water.

• To improve efficiency in the use of water.

• To extend the life of current water supplies by reducing the rate of growth in demand.

This document describes the City of Irving's Water Conservation Plan and includes updates to the original plan as required by the TCEQ.
