Posted 06-03-21 STAFF REPORT Date: June 8, 2021 To: Board of Directors From: John Bosler, General Manager/CEO Agenda Title: Public Hearing and Proposed Adoption of the Water Shortage Contingency Plan Update and 2020 Urban Water Management Plan Purpose The Cucamonga Valley Water District (District) is required to hold a public hearing to receive public comments on the District’s Draft 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (2020 UWMP, or “Plan”) and proposed update to the District’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP). The purpose of the hearing is to allow community input regarding the District’s compliance with urban water use targets specified by the Water Conservation Act of 2009 and to adopt the 2020 UMWP and WSCP. Background/Analysis California's Urban Water Management Planning Act, Water Code sections 10610 through 10656 (the UWMP Act), requires every urban water supplier that provides water for municipal purposes to more than 3,000 customers to prepare a Plan every five years. The Plan provides information on the urban water supplier’s water supply and demand forecasts, water supply reliability analysis, water shortage contingency planning, and other measures to ensure adequate water supply for existing and future demands. The Plan can be used as a foundation for preparing water supply assessments as per Senate Bill 610 for new projects subject to CEQA consisting of more than 500 dwelling units, equivalent water use, or other criteria. The Plan summarizes the water demand management measures, including the Water Conservation Act of 2009 SB X7-7 (20% by 2020) compliance analysis. In addition, the Plan includes the new reporting requirements that demonstrate a reduced reliance on the Delta water supplies, the energy intensity of water supplies, and seismic risk evaluation. The District’s baseline per capita total water use was determined to be 290 gallons per capita per day (GPCD) with the 2020 target of 232 GPCD. The District’s actual 2020 per capita water use is 206 GPCD, which achieves the target. The WSCP, included in the UWMP, summarizes new required elements including annual supply and demand procedures and six shortage stages. The District’s current WSCP has nine shortage stages, which exceeds the minimum recommended stages. However, the District must adopt with their 2020 UWMP a “crosswalk”, which is a simple table that demonstrates how the District’s WSCP aligns with the state’s stages. Chapter 8 of the Plan depicts the “crosswalk” and the District’s current WSCP is included as an Appendix to the Plan (Appendix Q). June 8, 2021 Public Hearing - Water Shortage Contingency Plan Update and 2020 Urban Water Management Plan Page 2 All qualifying urban water suppliers must prepare and submit their 2020 UWMP to the Department of Water Resources (DWR) by July 1, 2021 to comply with regulations and ensure continued eligibility of DWR-administered grants, loans, and drought assistance. As part of the Regional Water Policy and Planning Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with several neighboring agencies to collaborate on common projects, the District and five other agencies have agreed to equally cost-share multi-agency 2020 UWMPs. In September 2020, the District as a lead agency issued a single contract of $176,000 to Stetson Engineers Inc., under CP21001, to achieve cost savings through economics of scale. The City of Ontario agreed to co-manage this project with the District. The six participating agencies are: Chino Desalter Authority, City of Chino, City of Ontario, Cucamonga Valley Water District, Monte Vista Water District, and Water Facilities Authority. The participating agencies will submit their respective UWMPs by July 1, 2021. The District is required to hold a public hearing to receive public comments on the District’s 2020 UWMP and WSCP update. On May 25, 2021, the Draft 2020 UWMP and WSCP update were made available on our website or upon request for public and outside agency review. On May 25 and June 1, 2021 the District published the notice of public hearing and the notice of availability of the Draft 2020 UWMP and WSCP update in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin. In accordance with Water Code sections 10608.26 and 10642, the purpose of the public review and public hearing process is to encourage the active involvement of diverse social, cultural, and economic members of the community within the District’s service area with regard to the preparation and adoption of the 2020 UWMP and WSCP update; to allow input by members of the public and other interested entities regarding all aspects of the 2020 UWMP and WSCP; and to allow community input regarding the District’s compliance with SBX7-7. The draft Plan and analysis show that CVWD has sufficient supplies to meet current and future demands as required by the UWMP. It also demonstrates that the District is in compliance with the SB X7-7, to reduce urban per capita water use by 20-percent by 2020, and also contains provisions for water demand management activities and prepares for water shortages.
