Water Shortage Contingency Plan <br />THE CITY OF <br />PLEASANTON. <br />Planned water supply sources and quantities will be described and be reasonably consistent with the <br />supply projections in Chapter 6 (Water Supply Characterization) of the City's most recent UWMP. Should <br />supply sources and projections differ significantly between the AWSDA and the UWMP, an explanation <br />for the difference will be provided. <br />Planned unconstrained water demands will be used as input to the AWSDA for the current year and the <br />following one dry year. Unconstrained water demands are customer demands where no water <br />conservation measures are in effect. In planning for water demands, the following factors are considered, <br />as applicable and appropriate: <br />1. Weather conditions <br />2. Water year type <br />3. Population changes (e.g., due to development projects) <br />4. Demand trends and anticipated new demands (e.g., changes to land use) <br />5. Pending policy changes that may impact demands <br />6. Infrastructure operations <br />Planned water demand types and quantities will be described and should be reasonably consistent with <br />the demand projections in Chapter 4 (Water Use Characterization) of the City's most recent UWMP. <br />Should the demand projections deviate significantly between the AWSDA and the UWMP, an explanation <br />for the difference will be provided. <br />2.3 Assessment Methodology <br />In preparing the AWSDA, the City will use the following assessment methodology and criteria to evaluate <br />the agency's water supply reliability for the current year and following one dry year. <br />The City uses a spreadsheet to plan for current year and future year supply and demands. Planned supply <br />and demand inputs described in Section 2.2 will be entered in the spreadsheet in annual increments. As <br />needed, the increments may be revised to monthly or seasonal periods to more closely evaluate specific <br />conditions and needs. <br />Supply and demand will be compared to determine the City's water supply reliability in the current year <br />and the following one dry year. The City's water supply will be deemed reliable if it can meet planned <br />water demands in both the current year and the following dry year. If water supply cannot meet planned <br />water demands in the current year or the following dry year, the extent of the water shortage condition <br />will be determined, and the City will prepare response actions in accordance with this WSCP. <br />3.0 SIX STANDARD WATER SHORTAGE LEVELS <br />To provide a consistent regional and statewide approach for conveying the relative severity of water <br />supply shortage conditions, the 2018 Water Conservation Legislation mandates that water suppliers plan <br />for six standard water shortage levels that correspond to progressive reductions of up to 10, 20, 30, 40, <br />50 percent, and greater than 50 percent from the normal reliability condition. Each shortage condition <br />should correspond to additional actions water suppliers would implement to meet the severity of the <br />impending shortages. <br />City of Pleasanton <br />N-e80-60-20-04-wP-R-e80-2020uwMP Last Revised: 05-05-21 <br />
