(EKI), until services are complete, for the development of Redwood City’s 2025 <br />Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) in an amount not to exceed $130,000. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN GUIDING PRINCIPLE <br />Excellence in Government Operations <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Urban Water Management Planning Act (UWMP Act) (California Water Code Sections 10610 et. seq.) <br />requires urban water suppliers serving more than 3,000 customers or providing more than 3,000 acre- <br />feet of water annually to prepare an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) that analyzes available <br />water supply during normal and dry years. The City of Redwood City (City) provides water to more than <br />24,000 customers and is therefore subject to the UWMP Act. <br />The UWMP is essential for a supplier’s long-term resource planning, helping ensure that sufficient water <br />supplies will be available to meet both present and future needs. Each UWMP must include a 20-year <br />water supply reliability assessment, a description of demand management strategies, a water shortage <br />contingency plan, and details on the current and planned use of recycled water. UWMP updates are <br />required every five years. Historically, the City has hired consultants, who specialize in UWMPs, to develop <br />the City’s UWMP. The City’s last UWMP was adopted in 2021, and the City’s next update, the 2025 UWMP, <br />is due by July 1, 2026. <br />7.M. - Page 1 of 24 <br />261
