HomeMy WebLinkAbout12 Draft 2010 Urban Water Mgmt PlanAgenda Item # 12
ACTION
To: Board of Directors
From: Neil Kaufman
Date: April 06, 2011
Subject: Review of the Draft 2010 Urban Water Management Plan
1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
The California Water Code requires the all urban water suppliers to prepare an urban
water management plan (UWMP) every five years. This workshop will review the draft
UWMP and discuss scheduling of a public hearing. Formal board action is not
required.
2. HISTORY
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
it serves more than 3,000 customers.
Normally, an urban water supplier is required to update its plan at least once every
five years on or before December 31, in years ending in five and zero. However, the
December 31, 2010 deadline was extended until July 1, 2011 when the Water
Conservation Act of 2009 (SB 7X-7) was enacted. SB 7X-7 imposed additional
requirements regarding the 2010 UWMP.
