Similarly, the Executive <br />Order mandated by California Governor Edmund "Jerry' Brown in April 2015 in response to <br />the drought that started in 2011 further required a collective reduction in statewide urban water <br />use of 25% which would also reduce Citywide demands. In addition, UWMPs are typically <br />developed in a conservative manner and tend to overestimate future water demands. <br />Currently, 71% of the City's water supply <br />Metropolitan imported water and 1 % is from <br />is expected to change slightly to 70% from <br />imported water, and 0.7% recycled water <br />throughout this WSA.

The City's water supply portfolio <br />OC Basin groundwater, 29% from Metropolitan <br />by the year 2040 as discussed in more detail <br />the strategic management of these resources is <br />OCWD Groundwater <br />The primary source of water for the City is the Orange County Groundwater Basin ("OC Basin") <br />which is managed by the Orange County Water District (OCWD). The OC Basin underlies the <br />north half of Orange County beneath broad lowlands. The OC Basin covers an area of <br />approximately 350 square miles, bordered by the Coyote and Chino Hills to the north, the Santa <br />Ana Mountains to the northeast, the Pacific Ocean to the southwest, and terminates at the <br />Orange County line to the northwest, where its aquifer systems continue into the Central Basin <br />of Los Angeles County. <br />The OC Basin storage capacity is estimated to be 66 million Al", of which only a fraction is <br />available for use to prevent against physical damage to the Basin such as seawater intrusion or <br />land subsidence. To ensure the Basin is not overdrawn, OCWD recharges the Basin with local <br />and imported water. The Basin is recharged primarily by four sources including local rainfall, <br />storm and base flows from the Santa Ana River (SAR), purchased Metropolitan imported water; <br />and highly treated recycled wastewater. Basin recharge occurs largely in the following recharge <br />basins that are located in or adjacent to the City of Anaheim: <br />• Warner Basin: A 50-foot-deep recharge basin located next to the SAR at the intersection <br />of the 55 and 91 freeways; <br />9 OCWD Groundwater Management Plan 2015 Update.
