7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
The City's Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) was initially adopted in 1985 and must be
updated every five years per the California Water Code (Sections 10610 - 10656). The UWMP
discusses the City's current and future water demands, availability and reliability of its water
supplies, various water demand management measures to facilitate customer water use
efficiency, water supply contingency plan, and future water supply.
The California Urban Water Management Planning Act (Act) requires all urban water suppliers
providing water for municipal purposes to more than 3,000 customers or supplying more than
3,000 acre -feet of water annually, to prepare /update and adopt an Urban Water Management Plan
(UWMP) every five years. The proposed City of Orange 2015 UWMP will address only its
water service area, which is nearly contiguous with the City's corporate boundaries.
Due to the commonality of regional information required for the plan along with shared
requirements mandated from each water purveyor, a regional group effort to update /develop
UWMPs for individual agencies by a single shared entity, is most economical and timely. As in
the past, the Water Division is recommending joining with other county water purveyors in the
group effort, organized and headed up by the Municipal Water District of Orange County
( MWDOC), to hire a consultant to develop a UWMP. Each resulting plan will contain all
required elements by the California Water Code and will be specifically tailored to the individual
agency. The Water Division has successfully joined in this effort in the past.
At the July 15, 2015 MWDOC Board meeting, the MWDOC Board approved hiring Arcadis to
assist in the development of the 2015 UWMPs for all participating agencies. Per the attached
agreement, Orange's cost share to develop a UWMP for Orange is $41,570.00.
Upon adoption of the UWMP by the City of Orange in 2016, the final draft will be submitted to
the California Department of Water Resources. The City's 2015 UWMP is required to be
updated and submitted to DWR by July 1, 2016.
