LADWP Accepting Public Input on Proposed 2015 UWMP
To provide stakeholders with an opportunity to review or provide input for the proposed 2015 Urban Water Management plan (UWMP), LADWP has released the draft 2015 UWMP online at www.ladwp.com/uwmp.
The updates to the 2015 UWMP will be consistent with the City’s goals and policy objectives for a reliable water supply, such as the Mayor’s Executive Directive No. 5 and the Sustainable City pLAn.
The adoption of an UWMP is required every five years to comply with the California’s Urban Water Management Planning Act (Act) codified in Sections 10610 through 10656 of the California Water Code.
On a local level, the UWMP serves as the City’s long term water resources management strategy for the next 25 years through 2040. The proposed 2015 UWMP is designed to build upon the goals and progress achieved from the 2010 UWMP.
