She called to inform me that all ferry service to Tiburon will be suspended between Tuesday February 16 and Sunday February 28. The service suspension is a result of required maintenance on the float that serves the Tiburon pier/gangway system. The float will be removed, towed to a maintenance facility, hauled out of the water and serviced before being reinstalled in Tiburon. During this period, Blue and Gold will provide bus service to SF for the commuter ferries (Ferry Terminal runs) in the morning and afternoon, but there will be no alternative provided for the mid-day ferries (to Pier 39) during that time period. Also, passengers will have the option of using their Tiburon commuter tickets on the ferries from either Sausalito or Larkspur. My understanding is Blue and Gold will begin informing passengers on the boats today and I have asked Ms. Horgan to provide us with a Press Release or Fact Sheet as soon as it is available, which I will forward to you as soon as it is available. Please do not hesitate contacting me directly with any questions.

The code applies to water use in all new construction, certain remodels, and certain landscape rehabilitations. The new ordinance is triggered when a city, town, or the county requires a construction permit, plan check, or design review for a residential, commercial, industrial, or institutional project. Outdoors, the key components of the ordinance include the following: • New landscapes: The square foot threshold for all new landscapes required to complete a plan review has been reduced from 1,000 sq. ft. to 500 sq. ft., meaning landscapes that are 500 sq. ft. or larger are now required to go through MMWD's landscape plan review process. • Landscape rehabilitations: Landscape rehabilitation projects of any size are required to complete a plan review, with a streamlined "prescriptive" review process for projects of Tess than 1,000 sq. ft. • Reductions in turf and other high -water -use plants: The area that can be planted with turf grass and other high -water -use plants has been reduced in both new and rehabilitated landscapes. • Alternate water sources: The code encourages irrigation with non -potable water sources such as recycled water, graywater, and harvested rainwater. • Large landscapes: Large landscapes (5,000 sq. ft. or greater) are required to have flow sensors and automatic irrigation shutoff valves. Indoors, the ordinance reduces the flow rates for faucets: • Bathrooms: The flow rate for bathroom faucets is now 1.0 gallons per minute (gpm), reduced from 1.5 gpm • Kitchens: The flow rate for kitchen faucets is now 1.8 gpm, reduced from 2.5 gpm, though faucets may be designed to allow temporary flows up to 2.2 gpm. Customers who need sign -off from MMWD for their landscape projects can submit plans electronically for 2 review by the district's trained conservation specialists. The district offers the service for free and strives to make it as easy as possible. "Our goal with the plan review process is to help our customers install landscapes that save water, are good for the environment, and are beautiful and enjoyable for people," said Dan Carney, MMWD Water Conservation Manager. "The new requirements help guide customers toward choosing the right plants for our climate, building healthy soil, irrigating more efficiently, and making the most of alternatives such as rainwater catchment and graywater reuse." Even where no permit is required, MMWD stands ready to assist customers looking to transition to low- water -use gardens. The district offers free on-site water -use consultations, Bay -Friendly gardening resources, and rebates on mulch, rain barrels, and other water -saving items. "Even if you're just sheet mulching part of your lawn or giving your flower bed a makeover, we want to help you do it right," said Dan Carney. "Call us, ask questions, schedule a water -use consultation. We're here to help." The new standards were adopted in response to Governor Brown's Drought Executive Order of April 1, 2015, which called for updates to the state's Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance and Green Building Code. Local agencies including MMWD were required to adopt the new state requirements or equivalent water -saving measures by the end of last year.
