The California Water Code requires the all urban water suppliers prepare an Urban
Water Management Plan (UWMP) every five years.

The Urban Water Management Planning Act (California Water Code Section 10610)
requires that all urban water suppliers prepare urban water management plans and
update them every five years. The District is considered an urban water supplier since

The current UWMP was adopted in 2011. Section 7 of the UWMP discussed the
District's Water Shortage Contingency Plan. This section was revised in September
2014 in response to mandatory water conservation requirements that were imposed
by the State of California.
At the May 4, 2016, Board Meeting, a review of the draft UWMP was conducted. The
Board of Directors then scheduled a public hearing on the UWMP for June 11 2016.

18 and May 25. As of May 26, the District has not received any comments regarding
