The City is dependent on imported water from MET, its regional wholesaler. The City is <br />also dependent on groundwater from OCWD, the agency that manages the OC Basin and provides <br />recycled water in partnership with the OC San. As such, the City involved the relevant agencies in this <br />2020 UWMP at various levels of contribution as described below. <br />This 2020 UWMP was developed in collaboration with MET’s 2020 UWMP to ensure consistency <br />between the two documents. MET provided the information quantifying water availability to meet the <br />City’s projected demands for the next 25 years, in five-year increments. <br />MWDOC provided assistance to the City’s 2020 UWMP development by providing much of the data and <br />analysis such as population projections from the California State University at Fullerton CDR and demand <br />projections for the next 25 years. Additionally, MWDOC led the effort to develop a Model Water Shortage <br />Ordinance that its retail agencies as well as the City, Anaheim and Fullerton can adopt as is or customize <br />and adopt as part of developing their WSCPs. The City also takes part in many regional programs <br />administered by MWDOC to assist retail agencies meet various State compliance, such as the OC <br />Regional Alliance for SB x7-7 compliance, regional water loss program for SB555 compliance, and <br />regional water conservation programs.
