California State law requires the City to update its Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) every five years and adopt an updated UWMP by July 1, 2026. The UWMP is required to contain a detailed evaluation of the supplies necessary to reliably meet demands over at least a 20-year period in both normal and dry years. The City participated in a RUWMP with five other Coachella Valley agencies.
The RUWMP describes the region’s water supplies and anticipated demands through 2050, as well as each agency’s programs to encourage efficient water use. The WSCP for each agency describes the actions that could be taken during a water shortage to reduce demands. The agencies have coordinated their WSCPs to provide consistent shortage levels and response actions across the region.
Draft copies of the RUWMP and WSCP are available for public review online and by scanning the QR code or copying the URL below:
