West Basin’s draft 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and draft 2021 Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) are now available for public review, as required by the California Urban Water Management Planning Act. Both documents are available for review here.
A public hearing is scheduled to be held during a Special West Basin Board meeting on June 10, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. to consider Board and public feedback of the draft plans. West Basin invites public comment and consultation with the District regarding these plans. All written comments must be received by 5:00 p.m. PDT on June 9, 2021.
In addition, West Basin has prepared draft appendices to both the 2015 UWMP and 2020 UWMP to demonstrate consistency with the Delta Plan Policy WR P1, Reduced Reliance on the Delta Through Improved Regional Water Self-Reliance (California Code Reg. tit.23, §5003). The 2015 UWMP is being amended only to report reduced reliance on the Delta and this action is separate from adoption of the 2020 UWMP and adoption of the 2021 WSCP.
For more information, or to provide comments on the draft documents, please contact E.J. Caldwell, Manager of Water Policy and Resources Development at edwardc@westbasin.org.
