EXHIBIT A -- -------- ._. -- - — ~`.� 1�.1 5 PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK Urban water suppiiers are required to prepare UWMPs to support their long-term water resource planning and ensure adequate water supplies are available to meet existing and future water demands. Specificalty, every"urban water supplier"that either provides over 3,000 acre- feet of water per year ("AFY") or serves 3,000 or more connections is required to assess the reliability of its water sources over a 20-year planning horizon considering normal, dry, and multiple dry years, among other requirements (Division 6 Part 2.6 of CWC Sections 10610 - 10656). Since the City delivers approximately 11,000 AFY and serves approximately 24,000 service connections, it meets the definition of an "urban water supplier" and must prepare an UWMP1. 5.1 Project Understanding While previously considered a low-priority, administrative planning document, UWMPs have become increasingly complex and strategic documents that set expectations about future water supply needs, the availability of water supplies, the need to obtain additional water supplies, and ultimately the ability of a community to sustain growth. UWMPs are also documents that are now more frequently used to communicate a broad range of water issues to the community, governing bodies, developers and other interested parties. An in-depth understanding of the Cit�/s concerns and issues is critical to providing an UWMP that meets the Citys needs. In the following sections, we have highlighted key items that we feel will be important for the City to consider and integrate,as applicable,into the development of its 2015 UWMP. Future Demand Proiections Must be Reconciled EKI understands that the City is projected to experience a population growth of 12R�a (from approximately 87,700 to 98,000 people) between 2015 and 20402 with an associated increase in the number of senrice connections to over 43,0003. While the Citys projected growth is expected to increase water use, water demand projections differ between key documents (see Table 2, below�. EKI will work closely with the City to ensure that the demand projections in the 2015 UWMP update accurately reflect the Citys planned growth and that the Cit�s water supply development and conservation efforts are sufficient to reliably support the planned growth and meet regulatory requirements(e.g.,SBX7-7). 15ource:BAWSG4 FY 2013-14 Annual Survey 2 Source:Regional Water Demand and Conservation Projections Final Report,BAWSCA,September 2014 3 EKI notes that the 2010 UWMP lists the adual number of service connections in the 2009/10 FY as 34,934,while the proposal and BAWSCA Annual Survey 2013/2014 indicate that the City currently has approximately 24,000 seroice connections.
