Urban Water Management Plan
Every five years, urban water suppliers in California are required by State law to prepare an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP). The plan is a water agency’s long-term water resource planning document to ensure that adequate water supplies are available to meet existing and future water needs within its service area. The UWMP provides an overall picture of a water agency’s current and future water conditions and management over the next 25 years.
Valley Water’s 2025 UWMP is its most recent update. The 2025 UWMP documents current and projected water supplies and demands through 2050 during normal and drought years, as well as conservation efforts to reduce long-term water demand. The WSCP establishes Valley Water’s actions and procedures for addressing water shortages due to droughts and other emergencies. It also summarizes other planning efforts related to natural disasters, drought revenue impacts, and Valley Water’s legal authority and communication protocol to respond to water shortages.
The 2025 UWMP and WSCP were adopted by the Board of Directors on June 9, 2026.
