PUBLIC HEARING
To: Board of Directors
From: Neil Kaufman
Date: May 04, 2011
Subject: Urban Water Management Plan
1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
The California Water Code requires that a public hearing be held prior to adoption of
an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP).
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.
The draft 2010 UWMP has been prepared by District staff and was presented to the
Board at the April 6, 2011 meeting.
3. NEW INFORMATION
The planned schedule for adoption of the UWMP is:
• May 4, 2011 - Public Hearing on UWMP (tonight)
• June 1, 2011 -Adoption of UWMP
• June 15, 2011 - Submittal of UWMP to Department of Water Resources
4. FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this public hearing.
