REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Cou From the City April 14, 2003 Subject Urban Water Management Plan Amendment Recommendation By motion, set the Public Hearing for April 28, 2003 for amendment of the Urban Water Management Plan Background The State of California's 1984 Urban Water Management Planning Act ( "The Act ") AB 797, requires every urban water supplier providing water for municipal purposes to more than 3,000 customers, or supplying more than 3,000 acre feet of water annually, to prepare and adopt an Urban Water Management Plan, the primary objective of which is to plan for the conservation and efficient use of water. Redwood City owns and operates a water utility that serves over 83,000 customers, supplying approx. 13,300 acre feet of water annually. Portions of the service area are outside the City's corporate limits. Redwood City's first Urban Water Management Plan ( "the Plan ") was prepared in 1986 to comply with the legislative requirement. The Plan was updated in 1992, January 2002 and July 2002. This Plan amendment will include all information necessary to meet the requirements of the California Urban Water Management Planning Code, and must be adopted after public review and hearing and filed with the California Department of Water Resources. The amendment modifies the City's drought action plan, the conservation program and conforms the Plan to various other changes in State of Cal. laws. Staff will present a brief summary of the Plan and its relationship to water conservation and supply planning efforts during the Public Hearing on April 28, 2003. Alternative The Council could, upon review and hearing public comments refrain from adopting the Plan amendment and submitting it to the Department of Water Resources.
