City <br />34 Engineer Hankee explained what staff has also looked at possible water levels and that <br />35 includes information indicating that irrigation could be limited in a drought; also the lake <br />36 irrigation is limited and would not serve the entire development. Councilmember <br />37 Ruhland asked about the lake and monitoring water levels and staff explained that they <br />38 are trying to balance irrigation use with the expectations of the residents as well (they <br />39 expect to have a lake adjacent to their home). Councilmember Ruhland asked when will <br />40 those residents served be moved to City water (at what water level)? Ms. Hankee <br />41 explained further what areas would be served; staff could consider adding language <br />42 setting the switch to City water at a certain point.
