Section 4 2025 Urban Water Management Plan <br />Water Use Characterization City of Pleasanton <br /> Public Draft | May 2026 <br /> 4-3 EKI Environment & Water, Inc. <br />4.3 Past and Current Water Demand <br /> <br />Past water uses inform an understanding of water use trends which are crucial for developing water use <br />projections. Figure 4-1 shows recent historical and current water use from 2022 through 2025, and Table <br />4-1. shows the 2025 actual water use by sector. Total water use declined between 2022 and 2025, <br />reaching a minimum in 2023. The most significant reductions occurred in the single family residential and <br />irrigation sectors. These trends are likely attributable to a decrease in Pleasanton’s population between <br />2020 and 2025 (see Section 3.3) and to climatic conditions, as 2023 was a relative. The decrease in <br />population resulted in reduced single family residential demand, while increased precipitation resulted in <br />reduced irrigation demand (i.e., outdoor water use for residential and dedicated irrigation meter [DIM] <br />accounts). <br />In 2025, the total water use was 13,736 AFY with single family residential demand accounting for the <br />largest portion (i.e., 46% of total demand), as shown in Figure 4-2. <br />Recycled water accounted for 8% of water use in 2025. Currently, recycled water is predominately used <br />for landscape irrigation on public and private lands, including city parks, commercial landscaping and <br />streetscape. A minor amount is used for dual-plumbing and construction. Detailed discussion of <br />Pleasanton’s recycled water program is provided in Section 6.5. <br /> <br /> Figure 4-1 Total Uses for Potable and Non-Potable Water, 2022-2025 Actual <br /> <br />0 <br />2,000 <br />4,000 <br />6,000 <br />8,000 <br />10,000 <br />12,000 <br />14,000 <br />16,000 <br />2022 2023 2024 2025 <br />An <br />n <br />u <br />a <br />l <br /> <br />W <br />a <br />t <br />e <br />r <br /> <br />D <br />e <br />m <br />a <br />n <br />d <br /> <br />( <br />A <br />F <br />) <br />Single Family Multi-Family <br />Commercial Industrial <br />Landscape - Potable Water Landscape - Recycled Water <br />Potable Distribution System Water Loss <br /> CWC §10631 <br />(d)(1) For an urban retail water supplier, quantify, to the extent records are available, past and current water <br />use… based upon information developed pursuant to subdivision (a), identifying the uses among water use <br />sectors…
