CCWD updating its Urban Water Management Plan
The Public Review Draft of the Calaveras County Water District (CCWD) 2020 Urban Water Management Plan Update is now available for public review and comment.
Draft Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) Update for required 5-year update cycle. Latest update incorporates new analyses related to water supply vulnerabilities, climate change risks, and drought water supply reliability. Also includes new Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP), defining how CCWD will provide water use notices, implement water conservation measures, and engage with the public during future drought conditions.
A Public Review Draft of CCWD’s 2020 UWMP and WSCP, and 2015 UWMP Delta Addendum have been made available for public review and comment. Hardcopies will be made available for viewing at CCWD’s office and at the local public library in San Andreas. Digital copies can also be found on CCWD’s website at: https://ccwd.org/water-resources/
The public comment period is open from April 26 to May 21, 2021 (30-days) during which time CCWD will hold a virtual public hearing (during a regularly scheduled Board meeting). The May 12 hearing will provide the public an opportunity to give oral comments on the Draft 2020 UWMP, WSCP, and 2015 UWMP Delta Addendum. CCWD will review and consider all comments and feedback received at the hearing, and all written comments received by May 21, 2021 by 5:00 pm (PST). All written comments may be submitted by to Brad Arnold, CCWD’s Water Resources Program Manager, via e-mail at brada@ccwd.org or mailed to “Calaveras County Water District, Attn: 2020 UWMP Update, 120 Toma Court, San Andreas, CA 95249”.
What is an Urban Water Management Plan?
An Urban Water Management Plan is a check-up to see if a water district is on schedule to secure rights to, divert, store, purify, deliver, conserve and reclaim sufficient water to meet the needs of its service area over the next twenty years.
Why does an UWMP need to be updated?
The State of California requires that an Urban Water Management Plan be updated every five years. This gives an agency and the public the notice they need to make corrections if the agency gets off schedule early in plan implementation. This also allows an agency the chance to adjust plans as things change.
