Together with the Planning Division, the Engineering Division works to ensure that there is a strong relationship between development and land use in the City and the City’s available water supply.
The City’s efforts are guided by the Urban Water Management Act (beginning with State Water Code Section 10620) and the requirements of State Water Code Section 10910 (Water Supply Planning to Support Existing and Planned Future Uses). To comply with these state requirements the City reviews and adopts an Urban Water Management Plan every five years and prepares Water Supply Assessments to support the environmental review of large development projects. The City’s current water supply planning documents are available for download below.
