Water Shortage Contingency Plan <br />THE CITY OF <br />PLEASANTON. <br />2.0 ANNUAL WATER SUPPLY AND DEMAND ASSESSMENT <br />PROCEDURES <br />Beginning July 1, 2022, California Water Code (CWC) §10632.1 requires water suppliers to submit an <br />Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment (AWSDA) and an Annual Water Shortage Assessment <br />Report to the Department of Water Resources (DWR). This section provides the procedures for the City <br />to conduct its AWSDA, which will inform the City's Annual Water Shortage Assessment Report and assist <br />the City with planning for potential water supply shortages. The objective of the AWSDA is to forecast <br />near-term supply conditions so that the City can prepare logistically and financially for any anticipated <br />water supply constraints, as well as enact appropriate shortage response actions in a timely manner. <br />The City's AWSDA will be developed from Zone 7's "Annual Review of the Sustainable Water Supply <br />Report" (Annual Sustainability Report). <br />This section provides the decision-making process, key data inputs, and methodology necessary for the <br />City to produce its AWSDA. This includes steps the City may take to declare a water shortage emergency <br />and associated water shortage stage (see Section 3.0) and implement water shortage response actions <br />(see Section 4.0). <br />2.1 Decision -Making Process <br />The City will use the decision-making process described below to consistently produce its AWSDA. The <br />City may adjust and improve this process as needed. <br />The Projection Team, consisting of Utilities Planning managers and the Managing Director of <br />Environmental Services and Utilities, is responsible for preparing the City's AWSDA and Annual Water <br />Shortage Assessment Report and submitting them to DWR by July 1s' of each year (starting in 2022). This <br />team will gather key data inputs described in Section 2.2 and conduct the assessment in accordance with <br />Section 2.3. In April, the Projection Team will finalize the assessment based on Zone 7's Annual <br />Sustainability Report. The AWSDA and Annual Water Shortage Assessment Report will be presented to <br />the Managing Director of Utilities and Environmental Services, or designee, for review and approval. If the <br />AWSDA finds that available water supply will be sufficient to meet expected demands for the current year <br />and one subsequent dry year, no further action will be required. <br />To conduct the AWSDA, the Projection Team will follow the schedule of activities shown on Table 1. Due <br />to variations in climate and hydrologic conditions, the timeframes shown in the tables are approximate <br />and may be adjusted as needed. The City intends to implement shortage response actions to effectively <br />address anticipated water shortage conditions in a timely manner while complying with the State's <br />reporting requirements. <br />2 City of Pleasanton <br />N-e80-60-20-04-wP-R-e80-2020uwMP Last Revised: 05-05-21 <br />
