Attachment B <br />lei <br />Memo <br />To: <br />Roseville City Council <br />From: <br />Chris Miller, Finance Director <br />Date: <br />November 18, 2013 <br />Re: <br />Water Conservation Rates <br />Background <br />In January, 2009 the City instituted a new water conservation -based rate structure designed to <br />encourage water conservation in conjunction with the goals and strategies outlined in the City's <br />Imagine Roseville 2025 initiative, as well as a new State Law that required water service <br />providers to encourage water conservation through education, awareness, and a conservation - <br />based rate structure. <br />The conservation rates primarily applied to single - family homes given that the water usage in <br />multi - family or commercial properties was too varied to apply a uniform policy.
