This chapter summarizes the City's WSCP, seismic risk to City facilities, and WSCP adoption procedures. <br />To allow for WSCP updates to be made outside of the UWMP preparation process, the City's WSCP is <br />included in this plan as Appendix K. <br />8.1 WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLANNING BACKGROUND <br />Water shortages occur whenever the available water supply cannot meet the normally expected customer <br />water use. This can be due to several reasons, including significant population growth, climate change, <br />drought, and catastrophic events. Drought, regulatory actions, and natural and manmade disasters may <br />occur at any time. A WSCP presents how an urban water supplier plans to respond to a water shortage <br />condition and helps prevent catastrophic service disruptions. <br />The 2018 Water Conservation Legislation set new requirements for water shortage contingency planning; <br />the City's WSCP has been updated to be consistent with these requirements. <br />8.2 CITY WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLAN <br />The City's WSCP describes its strategic plan for preparing and responding to water shortages. The WSCP <br />includes water shortage stages and associated shortage response actions, as well as the City's legal <br />authorities, communication protocols, compliance and enforcement, and monitoring and reporting. <br />The City's WSCP is included in this plan as Appendix K to allow for updates outside of the UWMP <br />preparation process. The City intends for its WSCP to be dynamic, so that it may assess response action <br />effectiveness and adapt to foreseeable and unforeseeable events. When an update to the WSCP is <br />proposed, the revised WSCP will undergo the process described in Section 8.4. <br />8.3 SEISMIC RISK ASSESSMENT AND MITIGATION PLAN <br />CWC §10632.5(a) requires that UWMPs include a seismic risk assessment and mitigation plan to assess <br />and mitigate a water system's seismic vulnerabilities. A Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) may be <br />incorporated in this UWMP to meet this requirement if they address seismic risk. In coordination with <br />Livermore and the City of Dublin (Dublin), the City developed a regional LHMP, which, among other <br />hazards, addresses seismic risks for water infrastructure. The 2018 Tri -Valley Local Hazard Mitigation Plan <br />(2018 LHMP) was adopted by Livermore, Dublin, and the City during the summer of 2018. It is available <br />on the City's website', and is incorporated into this UWMP by reference. The Federal Emergency <br />Management Agency (FEMA) found the 2018 LHMP in conformance with Title 44 Code of Federal <br />Regulations Part 201.6 Local Mitigation Plans. <br />1 Tetra Tech, 2018.
