Chapter 1 Introduction THE CITY OF PL£ASANTON Groundwater Supplies Coordination [CWC §10631(b)(4)]. In 2014, the Legislature enacted the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act to address groundwater conditions throughout California. The CWC now requires 2020 UWMPs to be consistent with Groundwater Sustainability Plans in areas where those plans have been completed by Groundwater Sustainability Agencies. This requirement is addressed in Chapter 6 of this plan. Lay Description [CWC §10630.5]. The Legislature included a new statutory requirement for the urban water supplier to include a lay description of the fundamental determinations of the UWMP, especially regarding water service reliability, challenges ahead, and strategies for managing reliability risks. This section of the UWMP could be viewed as a go -to synopsis for new staff, new governing members, customers, and the media, and it can ensure a consistent representation of the urban water supplier's detailed analysis. This requirement is addressed in the Executive Summary of this plan. Water Loss Management [CWC §10608.34(a) (1)]. The Legislature included a requirement for urban water suppliers to report on their plan to meet the water loss performance standards in their 2020 UWMPs. This requirement is addressed in the Demand Management Measures presented in Chapter 9 of this plan. 1.4 DEMONSTRATION OF CONSISTENCY WITH THE DELTA PLAN FOR PARTICIPANTS IN COVERED ACTION Urban water suppliers that anticipate participating in or receiving water from a proposed project (covered action), such as a multiyear water transfer, conveyance facility, or new diversion that involves transferring water through, exporting water from, or using water in the Sacramento -San Joaquin Delta (Delta) should provide information in their 2015 and 2020 UWMPs that can then be used in the certification of consistency process to demonstrate consistency with Delta Plan Policy WR P1, Reduce Reliance on the Delta Through Improved Regional Water Self -Reliance (California Code Reg., tit. 23, § 5003). To demonstrate reduced reliance on the Delta and improve regional self-reliance, urban water suppliers are to: 1. Complete an Urban Water Management Plan; Identify, evaluate, and commence implementation of programs and projects included in the UWMP that are locally cost effective and technically feasible in reducing reliance on the Delta; and Include expected outcome for measurable reduction in Delta reliance and improvement in regional self-reliance in their UWMPs, commencing in their 2015 UWMPs and continuing in their subsequent UWMPs. Programs and projects identified above should reduce the amount or percentage of water used from the Delta watershed. For the purposes of reporting, water efficiency is considered a new source of water supply. The City's wholesale water supplier is Zone 7 Water Agency (Zone 7), who is a contractor of the State Water Project (SWP). Through Zone 7, the City anticipates participating in a covered action and is therefore required to demonstrate reduced Delta reliance. Appendix B of this UWMP demonstrates the City's consistency with Delta Plan Policy WR P1. The City completed and adopted its 2015 UWMP in June 2016. This 2020 UWMP was completed and presented for adoption to the City Council on June 1, 2021. Chapter 6 (Water Supply) of the City's 2015 and 2020 UWMPs describes and evaluates existing and future projects whose implementation improves WEST YOST 1-3 City of Pleasanton 2020 Urban Water Management Plan N-680-00-20-04-wP-a-680-2020uwMP May 2021
