4 1.0 REPORTED WATER USAGE For the purpose of the GRP Monthly Operations Report, water usage is separated into two (2) categories; groundwater and alternative water source (AWS), and is tracked on a monthly basis. Pursuant to the GRP Rate Order, Participant water usage must be reported no later than ten (10) days from the end of the month. Water usage is self-reported by Participants through an online reporting system (ORS), TrueBill. The water usage data in Sections is as of May 11, 2017 and is self-reported by the GRP Participants. 1.1 REPORTED GROUNDWATER USAGE The amount of groundwater usage reported by GRP Participants for the month of April is 898,258,919 gallons. 1.2 REPORTED ALTERNATIVE WATER SOURCE USAGE For the purpose of this report, reported AWS usage is separated into three (3) categories; surface water, Catahoula Aquifer usage, and reuse. The amount of AWS usage reported for the month of April is 655,371,800 gallons. The AWS data reflected in the tables below are reported by source and Participant for the month of April REPORTED CATAHOULA AQUIFER USAGE Reported Catahoula Aquifer Usage in Gallons - April 2017 City of Conroe 156,000 City of Willis 10,273,000 Corinthian Point MUD No. 2 2,901,000 Point Aquarius MUD 9,181,000 Total Gallons 22,511, REPORTED REUSE WATER Reported Reuse Water Usage in Gallons - April 2017 Sequoia - Panther Trails 4,411,000 Southern Montgomery County MUD 17,056,800 Total Gallons 21,467, REPORTED SURFACE WATER USAGE Reported Surface Water Usage in Gallons - April 2017 City of Conroe 147,907,000 City of Oak Ridge North 6,501,000 Montgomery County MUD 99 8,686,000 MSEC - Montgomery Trace/Crown Oaks 33,329,000 Rayford Road MUD 31,620,000 SJRA - The Woodlands 354,459,000 Southern Montgomery County MUD 28,891,000 Total Gallons 611,393,000 3

7 2.0 COMPLIANCE The following information is related to the Joint GRP s compliance with Lone Star Groundwater Conservation District s (LSGCD) rules and regulations, along with Participant compliance with the GRP Contract. 2.1 LONE STAR GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT REQUIREMENT STATUS Per LSGCD rules and regulations, the Joint GRP was required to reduce its overall groundwater pumpage in 2016 to below its Initial Conversion Obligation (ICO) Adjusted Total Qualifying Demand (TQD). The GRP successfully achieved this goal and now must meet compliance with LSGCD by reducing groundwater to below its ICO Adjusted TQD, on average, for the next thirty years. 2.2 PARTICIPANTS Following are recently received, new Joint GRP Contracts and/or amendments to existing Joint GRP Contract s exhibits for consideration: None at this time. 2.3 PROJECTED DATA VERSUS ACTUAL DATA FOR GROUNDWATER USAGE In an effort to comply with LSGCD s rules for groundwater reduction, GRP Division staff tracks groundwater pumpage monthly. Conversion status will be evaluated monthly by comparing projected demands with actual groundwater pumpage and surface water delivery. Projected groundwater demands come from the 2017 Production Schedule. 2,000,000, Projected vs. Actual Groundwater Usage 1,500,000,000 Gallons 1,000,000, ,000,000 0 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Projected Groundwater (By Month) Actual Groundwater (By Month) 6
