o The Morgan Hill community will continue to be leaders in the state responding to drought conditions and will support water rate increases to ensure system reliability.

FINANCIAL COMMENTS

The source of funding for this activity is the Water Operations Fund which is supported by water service charges paid by Morgan Hill residents and businesses. As water conservation activities reduce water demand, quantity-based reve- nues from water sales decline accordingly. However, with the State’s limited water supplies and ongoing water deliv- ery challenges, water conservation will remain an essential community program. The City’s Environmental Agenda recognizes the need for these activities in its Water Supply Subject Goal of “Maximize the efficient use of water and the development of alternative water supplies.”
