The wholesale agency <br />shall provide information to the urban water supplier for inclusion in the urban water supplier's <br />plan that identifies and quantifies, to the extent practicable, the existing and planned sources of <br />water as required by subdivision (b), available from the wholesale agency to the urban water <br />supplier over the same five-year increments, and during various water -year types in <br />accordance with subdivision (f). An urban water supplier may rely upon water supply <br />information provided by the wholesale agency in fulfilling the plan informational requirements of <br />subdivisions (b) and (f). <br />(Amended by Stats. 2018, Ch. 14, Sec. 28. (SB 606) Effective January 1, 2019.) <br />10631 1 (a) The water use projections required by Section 10631 shall include projected water use for <br />single- family and multifamily residential housing needed for lower income households, as defined in <br />Section 50079.5 of the Health and Safety Code, as identified in the housing element of any city, county, or <br />city and county in the service area of the supplier. <br />(b) It is the intent of the Legislature that the identification of projected water use for single-family <br />and multifamily residential housing for lower income households will assist a supplier in complying <br />with the requirement under Section 65589.7 of the Government Code to grant a priority for the <br />provision of service to housing units affordable to lower income households. <br />(Added by Stats. 2005, Ch. 727, Sec. 2.

The department may consider studies and calculations conducted by the Public <br />Utilities Commission in developing the methodology. <br />(c) The Legislature finds and declares that energy use is only one factor in water supply planning <br />and shall not be considered independently of otherfactors. <br />(Amended by Stats. 2018, Ch. 14, Sec. 29.
