DATE: June 21, 2011
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Tom Tait, Public Works Services Director
Prepared by: Ken Herman, Deputy Public Works Services Director
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 6772 ADOPTING AN UPDATED CITY OF ARCADIA
2010 URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
Recommendation: Adopt
SUMMARY
To comply with the California Urban Water Management Planning Act, the City of
Arcadia is required to review and update the City's Urban Water Management Plan
(UWMP) every five years and adopt a revised UWMP. The UWMP is a planning
document which supports the City's long range water resources planning and makes
sure that adequate water supplies are available to meet existing and future water
demands.
City staff has reviewed its 2005 UWMP and incorporated changes to create the 2010
UWMP Update. Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, and
upon conclusion, adopt the City's 2010 UWMP.
BACKGROUND
In 1983, the California Urban Water Management Planning Act (Act) was established
and required every urban water supplier who provides water for municipal purposes to
prepare and adopt an UWMP. The primary objective of the Act is to direct urban water
suppliers to evaluate their existing water conservation efforts and to implement
alternative water conservation measures which assure adequate water supplies are
available to meet existing and future water demands. The Act requires that every water
supplier periodically review, update and adopt a revised UWMP at least once every five
years on or before December 31 in years ending in zero and five. Due to recent
changes in UWMP requirements, the date for completion of the 2010 UWMP has been
extended to July 1, 2011.

DISCUSSION
In accordance with the Act, the City's UWMP was last updated in 2005. The City
coordinated the preparation of the 2010 UWMP update with other appropriate agencies
in the area and provided information for City residents to participate in the UWMP
update. A copy of the 2010 UWMP has been available for the public's review at the City
Clerk's office and on the City's website. A copy was also made available in the City
Manager's office for the City Council's review.
The updated UWMP includes statistics on historic water use, population served, number
of service connections, and the dependability of future water supplies. It also indicates
the City's water conservation measures and serves as a guideline for water
management planning for the next five years. There have been various amendments
added to the Act since the City's last update in 2005. The additions and changes are as
follows:
• SB1087- Requires the City to report water use projections for lower income
households within the City.
• AB1376- Requires the City to provide a sixty (60) day notice to any City or
County within which the City provides water supplies notifying that the City is
reviewing the UWMP and is considering changes.
• AB 1420- Requires the City to verify compliance of Demand Management
Measures (DMM) in order to qualify for water management grants and loans.
The California Water Code defines "Demand Management" as water
conservation measures, programs, and incentives that prevent the waste of
water and promote the reasonable and efficient use and reuse of available
(water) supplies.
• SBX7 -7- Requires the City to reduce the City's per capita water use by
twenty percent (20 %) by year 2020.
In accordance with Water Code Section 10621, the City of Arcadia has reviewed its
UWMP and appropriate changes were included. Therefore, staff recommends that the
City Council conduct a public hearing, and upon conclusion, adopt the City's 2010
UWMP.

This Plan qualifies as a Statutory Exemption in accordance with Section 15282 (v) of
