This bill corrects a reference to a federal executive order
on how the military should be treated regarding water
conservation legislation.
Background
Executive Order 13423, signed by President Bush on January
26, 2007, required federal agencies to reduce water
consumption intensity, relative to the baseline of the
agency's water consumption in fiscal year 2007, by two
percent annually through the end of fiscal year 2015 or 16
percent by the end of fiscal year 2015.
Executive Order 13514, signed by President Obama on October
8, 2009, requires federal agencies to reduce their potable
water consumption intensity by two percent annually through
fiscal year 2020, or 26 percent by the end of fiscal year
2020 relative to a baseline of the agency's water
consumption in fiscal year 2007.

ARGUMENTS IN SUPPORT : The San Diego County Water
Authority supports the bill and writes, "SB2277 corrects a
provision in SBx7-7 that cited an outdated federal
executive order regarding water conservation on military
installations. The new executive order requires even more
stringent water conservation measures than the previous
executive orders. Military installations in San Diego
County use a significant portion of the region's water

supply, and increased water conservation has a significant
effect."
