Section 8 2025 Urban Water Management Plan <br />Water Shortage Contingency Planning City of Pleasanton <br /> Public Draft | May 2026 <br /> 8-1 EKI Environment & Water, Inc. <br />8 WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLANNING <br /> <br />The City’s updated WSCP is appended to this Plan as Appendix D. The WSCP serves as a standalone <br />document to be engaged in the case of a water shortage event, such as a drought or supply interruption, <br />and defines specific policies and actions that will be implemented at various shortage level scenarios. The <br />primary objective of the WSCP is to ensure that Pleasanton has in place the necessary resources and <br />management responses needed to protect health and human safety, minimize economic disruption, and <br />preserve environmental and community assets during water supply shortages and interruptions. <br />Consistent with CWC §10632, the WSCP utilizes the six standard levels to address shortage conditions <br />ranging from up to 10% to greater than 50% shortage, identifies a suite of demand mitigation measures <br />for Pleasanton to implement at each level, and identifies procedures for Pleasanton to annually assess <br />whether or not a water shortage is likely to occur in the coming year, among other things. <br />A summary of the key elements of the WSCP including water shortage levels and demand-reduction <br />actions is shown in Table 8-1, Table 8-2, and Table 8-3. Additional details are provided in Appendix D. <br /> <br />Table 8-1 Cross-reference for Standard vs Supplier Shortage Levels (DWR Table 8-1) <br />☒ Checked box indicates the supplier uses the standard six levels of water shortage (and supplier <br />will not complete this table). <br /> CWC §10640 <br />(a) Every urban water supplier required to prepare a plan pursuant to this part shall prepare its plan pursuant to <br />Article 2 (commencing with Section 10630).
