A water shortage occurs when the water supply is reduced to a level that cannot support typical demand at any given time. The WSCP is used to provide guidance to the City’s governing body and staff and the public by identifying response actions to allow for responsible management of any water shortage with predictability and accountability. Preparation provides the tools to maintain reliable supplies and reduce the impacts of supply interruptions due to extended drought and catastrophic supply interruptions. The WSCP describes the following: 1. Water Supply Reliability Analysis: summarizes the City’s water supply analysis and reliability and identifies any key issues that may trigger a shortage condition 2. Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment Procedures: describes the key data inputs, evaluation criteria, and methodology for assessing the system’s reliability for the coming year and the steps to formally declare any water shortage levels and response actions 3. Six Standard Shortage Stages: establishes water shortage levels to clearly identify and prepare for shortages 4. Shortage Response Actions: describes the response actions that may be implemented or considered for each stage to reduce gaps between supply and demand as well as minimize social and economic impacts to the community 5. Communication Protocols: describes communication protocols under each stage to ensure customers, the public, and government agencies are informed of shortage conditions and requirements 6. Compliance and Enforcement: defines compliance and enforcement actions available to administer demand reductions 7. Legal Authority: lists the legal documents that grant the City the authority to declare a water shortage and implement and enforce response actions 8. Financial Consequences of WSCP Implementation: describes the anticipated financial impact of implementing water shortage stages and identifies mitigation strategies to offset financial burdens 9. Monitoring and Reporting: summarizes the monitoring and reporting techniques to evaluate the effectiveness of shortage response actions and overall WSCP implementation, with results used to determine if additional shortage response actions should be activated or if efforts are successful and response actions should be reduced 10. WSCP Refinement Procedures: describes the factors that may trigger updates to the WSCP and outlines how to complete an update 11. Special Water Features Distinctions: identifies exemptions for ponds, lakes, fountains, pools, and spas, etc. 12. Plan Adoption, Submittal, and Availability: describes the process for the WSCP adoption, submittal, and availability after each revision Public Draft City of Fresno 1 2020 Water Shortage Contingency Plan Appendix J This WSCP was prepared in conjunction with the City’s 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and is a standalone document that can be modified as needed.

    “If you are working on a problem you can solve in your lifetime, you’re thinking too small.” Wes Jackson I have been blessed to spend time with some of our nation’s most prominent civil rights leaders— truly extraordinary people. When I listen to them tell their stories about how hard they fought to combat the issues of their day, how long it took them, and the fact that they never stopped fighting, it grounds me. Those extraordinary people worked at what they knew they would never finish in their lifetimes. I have come to understand that the historical arc of this country always bends toward progress. It doesn’t come without a fight, and it doesn’t come in a single lifetime. It is the job of each generation of leaders to run the race with truth, honor, and integrity, then hand the baton to the next generation to continue the fight. That is what our foremothers and forefathers did. It is what we must do, for we are at that moment in history yet again. We have been passed the baton, and our job is to stretch this work as far as we can and run as hard as we can, to then hand it off to the next generation because we can see their outstretched hands. This project has been deeply emotional for me. It brought me back to my youthful days in Los Angeles when I would be constantly harassed, handcuffed, searched at gunpoint - all illegal, but I don’t know that then. I can still feel the terror I felt every time I saw a police cruiser.
