These plans are required to be updated every five years and <br />adopted by the City Council. They describe the City’s water deliveries and use, water supply <br />sources, projected water demands through 2045, water supply reliability, and planned <br />response actions during water shortages. <br /> <br />As an urban water supplier, the City must update and submit its 2025 UWMP, including the <br />incorporated WSCP, to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) by July 1, 2026. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Adopt a resolution approving the City of Pleasanton 2025 Urban Water Management Plan and <br />Water Shortage Contingency Plan. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />The California Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) Act, enacted in 1983, requires urban <br />water suppliers to prepare plans that assess long-term water supply reliability under normal, <br />single-dry, and multiple-dry year conditions and demonstrate that adequate water supplies are <br />available. <br />The Act has been updated periodically since its establishment, including through the Water <br />Conservation Act of 2009 (SB X7-7) and the 2018 Water Conservation Legislation directives, <br />which were first incorporated in the 2015 and 2020 UWMP updates, respectively. Since 2020, <br />there have been no notable legislative changes to the UWMP requirements, except for minor <br />revisions to definitions. <br />The City Council adopted the current UWMP (2020 UWMP) in June 2021. Preparation of the <br />2025 UWMP and Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) began in October 2025 and <br />included coordination with Zone 7 Water Agency (Zone 7) and the other Tri-Valley retailers. <br />During the preparation of the 2025 UWMP, notices of preparation were sent to local agencies, <br />Alameda County, and local organizations. The Draft 2025 UWMP and WSCP were made <br />available for public review beginning May 7, 2026, and staff notified the previously contacted <br />local agencies and organizations of their availability. In addition, this item was published in the <br />newspaper for two consecutive weeks, as required by law, prior to the public hearing on the <br />Page 380 of 617
