Conduct a public hearing for review of the 2010 UWMP; and <br /> 2. Approve and recommend that the City Council adopt the 2010 UWMP. <br /> COMMITTEE RECOMENDATION: <br /> The Water Committee was presented with an overview of the proposed 2010 UWMP at its June 27, 2011 <br /> meeting and recommended that it be brought to the full Board of Public Utilities for its consideration. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> Riverside Public Utilities (RPU) has developed its UWMP in accordance with the requirements of the <br /> California UWMP Act (Act). The Act requires that each urban water supplier, providing water for <br /> municipal purposes either directly or indirectly to more than 3,000 customers, or supplying more than <br /> 3,000 acre-feet of water annually, shall prepare, update, and adopt its UWMP at least once every five <br /> years. In 2010, RPU supplied approximately 85,000 acre-feet of water for municipal purposes through <br /> more than 63,000 service connections. <br /> The attached UWMP identifies and quantifies the existing and planned sources of water available to RPU <br /> for the next twenty-five years (i.e. 2010-2035). The UWMP also includes an assessment of the reliability <br /> of RPU's water supplies and their vulnerability to seasonal or climatic shortages and plans for dealing <br /> with such water shortage contingencies. <br /> After the UWMP is adopted by the City Council, RPU will file a copy of the UWMP with the California <br /> Department of Water Resources as required by the Act. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT: <br /> None, other than the cost of producing and distributing copies of the 2010 UWMP to agencies required <br /> by the Water Code. <br /> Prepared by: Kevin S. Milligan, Public Utilities Assistant General Manager/Water <br /> Approved by: David H. Wright, Public Utilities General Manager <br /> Approved by: Belinda J. Graham, Assistant City Manager <br /> Approved as to form: Gregory P. Priamos, City Attorney <br /> Attachment: <br /> 1. Draft 2010 Urban Water Management Plan <br />
