Notice of Public Hearings for the Draft 2020 Urban Water Management Plan, Draft Water Conservation Program/Water Shortage Contingency Plan, and Draft Addendum to the 2015 Urban Water Management Plan

Padre Dam Municipal Water District (District) has prepared its draft 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) in accordance with the California Urban Water Management Planning Act and the Water Conservation Act of 2009. The UWMP details the District’s water demand forecast, water supplies, water supplies reliability assessment, and water shortage contingency analysis. New to the 2020 UWMP is the requirement for the District to have a Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) that contains drought risk assessment methodology and process. The District has also prepared a Draft Addendum to the 2015 UWMP to demonstrate consistency with the Delta Plan Policy WR P1, Reduced Reliance on the Delta Through Improved Regional Water Self-Reliance. The 2015 UWMP is being amended for the sole purpose of reporting reduced reliance on the Delta. 

The District will hold three public hearings at its Board meeting on June 16, 2021 at 3:30 pm to solicit public comments on: 1) the District’s Water Conservation Program/WSCP set forth in amendments to District Rules and Regulations Section 5.1 (WSCP - Water Supply Management Conditions); 2) the Draft Addendum to the 2015 UWMP; and 3) the Draft 2020 UWMP.

Due to the COVID-19 State of Emergency and pursuant to Brown Act waivers provided under the Governor’s Executive Order, the Board meeting will be conducted virtually and by teleconference, and it is anticipated that there will be no physical location from which members of the public may participate. Written comments may be submitted to the Board Secretary by email at apederson@padre.org or mail to Padre Dam, PO Box 719003, Santee, CA 92072.
