SUBJECT: SET PUBLIC HEARING FOR 2010 URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
SUMMARY
The California Urban Water Management Planning Act requires the City to develop and adopt an
Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) every five (5) years. It requires urban water suppliers
providing water for municipal services of more than 3,000 connections or 3,000 acre-feet of water
production annually, to prepare, conduct a public hearing and adopt a plan in accordance with the
prescribed requirements of the Act. Staff is requesting the City Council set the public hearing for
Tuesday, June 7, 2011.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council set a public hearing for 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 7,
2011, to respond to public comments, accept and adopt the City's 2010 Urban Water Management
Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.
DISCUSSION
California Water Code Sections 10610 through 10656 of the Urban Water Management Planning
Act require "every urban water supplier providing water for municipal purposes to more than 3,000
customers or supplying more than 3,000 acre-feet of water annually" to prepare, conduct a public
hearing on, adopt, and file an UWMP with the California Department of Water Resources (DWR)
every five years.
The UWMP provides DWR with information on the present and future water resources and
demands and provides an assessment of the City's water resource needs. The UWMP is intended
to serve as a general, flexible, and open-ended document that periodically can be updated to
reflect changes in the water supply trends, conservation and water use efficiency policies. The
2010 UWMP, along with the City's Water Master Plan and other City planning documents, will be
used by City staff to guide the City's water use and management efforts through the year 2015,
when the UWMP is again required to be updated. The City's 2010 UWMP update is prepared in
compliance with the requirements of the Act, as amended, and revises the adopted 2005 UWMP.
