<br />
<br />The findings of the 2015 Metropolitan UWMP highlight that Metropolitan has supply capabilities
<br />that would be sufficient to meet expected demands from 2020 through 2040 under the normal,
<br />single dry-year and multiple dry-year conditions. Metropolitan also has proposed programs in
<br />place to ensure against water shortages in the future. These programs include projects along
<br />the California Aqueduct and the Colorado River Aqueduct in addition to demand reduction
<br />projects. In all climate scenarios, Metropolitan estimates potential surpluses in water supply
<br />through 2040.
<br />
<br />The Metropolitan 2015 UWMP was made public in early 2016 and shared with Metropolitan’s
<br />member agencies. Once these findings were finalized, the Metropolitan member agencies
<br />could conclude their own 2015 UWMP findings. The City of Santa Ana published their 2015
<br />UWMP in April 2016 after determining Metropolitan would be able to meet the City’s imported
<br />water demands through 2040. The City of Santa Ana and OCWD local water supply reliability
<br />is summarized below.
<br />
<br />4.2 OCWD AND CITY OF SANTA ANA LOCAL WATER SUPPLY RELIABILITY
<br />Like Metropolitan, the City of Santa Ana is also required to assess the reliability of their water
<br />service to its customers under normal, single-dry and multiple-dry water years. As mentioned
<br />the City depends on a combination of imported water from Metropolitan and local groundwater
<br />supplies to meet its water demands. The City has taken numerous steps to ensure it has
<br />adequate supplies to provide for growing demands.
