A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA AMENDING THE 2015 URBAN WATER
MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE CITY OF SANTA ANA
WHEREAS, Sections 10610 through 10657 of the California Water Code, known
as the Urban Water Management Planning Act, require that every urban water supplier
providing water for municipal purposes either directly or indirectly to more than 3,000
customers or supplying more than 3,000 acre-feet of water annually, prepare an Urban
Water Management Plan ("UWMP") at least once every five years; and
WHEREAS, these plans support suppliers' long-term resource planning to ensure
that adequate water supplies are available to meet existing and future water needs; and
WHEREAS, each UWMP must be adopted by the supplier's governing body and
submitted to the California Department of Water Resources; and
WHEREAS, the City of Santa Ana is an urban water supplier subject to this
requirement; and
WHEREAS, on June 7, 2016, by Resolution No. 2106-040, the City Council
approved the City's 2015 UWMP; and
WHEREAS, the City's 2015 UWMP did not include information regarding Delta
Plan Policy WR P1, Reduce Reliance on the Delta Through Improved Regional Water
Self -Reliance; and
WHEREAS, Delta Plan Policy WR P1 is one of fourteen regulatory policies in the
Delta Plan, which is a comprehensive, long-term, legally enforceable plan guiding how
federal, state, and local agencies manage the Delta's water and environmental resources,
and identifies UWMPs as the tool to demonstrate consistency with state policy to reduce
reliance on the Delta for suppliers that anticipate receiving water supply benefits from the
Delta; and
WHEREAS, it is recommended by the California Department of Water Resources
2020 Urban Water Management Plan Guidebook that urban water suppliers prepare and
submit this information as an appendix or other attachment to their UWMPs; and
WHEREAS, the City therefore desires to amend its 2015 UWMP to include
Appendix J, entitled "Reduced Delta Reliance Reporting'; and
WHEREAS, the City has given the legally required notices for the Amended 2015
UWMP and conducted a public hearing on June 1, 2021 to consider the approval of the
Amended 2015 UWMP.
