SCV Water is undertaking several important planning efforts to ensure adequate longterm water quality and supplies for today and tomorrow.

As part of this, SCV Water will hold the first part of a virtual public hearing on Thursday, May 27, at 6:00 p.m. at which time the Board of Directors will receive a presentation of the 2020 Urban Water Management Plan Update.

The public will have an opportunity to provide comments during the hearing. The hearing comes after the public review and comment period that ends May 26. The draft plan and associated materials are available online at yourscvwater.com/uwmp.

The Urban Water Management Plan is a requirement of the California Urban Water Management Planning Act and other applicable laws. This plan will help SCV Water address issues that contribute to clean and reliable water. In addition, SCV Water will be adopting an addendum to the 2015 plan that incorporates data on SCV Water’s use of imported water to document consistency with the Delta Reform Act and its related implementing framework for the Delta Plan. The same data will be available in the 2020 UWMP.
