RF~OL~ION NO. 96-18 PUBLIC ItEARING AND ADOPTION OF THE 1995 URBAN
WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Tustin City Council, at their regular meeting of February 20, 1996, hold a public hearing on and adopt
the Tustin Water Service's 1995 Urban Water Management Plan ("Plan") by Resolution No. 96-18, and order
that said Plan be filed with the State of California Department of Water Resources (DWR).
BACKGROUND:
The California Urban Water Management Planning Act, established by State Assembly Bill No. 797 ("AB-797"),
requires 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 and adopt, in accordance with prescribed
requirements, an urban water management plan containing prescribed elements. The bill also requires the Plan
to be updated at least once every five years and to be filed with DWR. This Plan updates the 1990 Plan adopted
at the public hearing on March 4, 1991.
AB-797 has been amended to include water audit and recycled water programs. Both have been addressed in the
City's 1995 Plan, along with the revision of water production and demand projection figures to satisfy current
data. The new water rate structure adopted by City Council on September 21, 1992 has also been included.
These were the onlY significant changes to the 1995 Plan.
The purpose of the AB-797 is to impose a state-mandated local program requiring all urban water suppliers to
develop water management plans to achieve conservation and efficient use of its water supplies.
The Plan, as required by AB-797, contains such City elements as; past, current, and projected water use; current
and alternative water conservation programs; groundwater recovery; management of system pressure and peak
demands; and pricing, rate structures, and regulations.
City staff has prepared the Plan and Resolution No. 96-18 in accordance with the requirements of AB-797.
