Planning
Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP): As required under the California Urban Water Management Planning Act, a UWMP is to be submitted every five years for agencies serving more than 3,000 acre-feet or more than 3,000 connections annually. The UWMP is a significant planning report to ensure long-term water reliability for various categories of water use during normal, single-dry or multiple-dry years. The District completed its last update to the UWMP in 2015. Local sources of water supply for the Central Basin Municipal Water District's service area include: imported water, groundwater and recycled water supplies. Click here to view the UWMP.
Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM): The District works collaboratively with the Gateway Water Management Authority as part of the Los Angeles Gateway Region Integrated Regional Water Management Joint Powers Authority. The Gateway Authority is Chair for the Lower San Gabriel Sub-Region of the Greater Los Angeles IRWM. These regional planning groups address water resources needs while identifying state and federal funding opportunities to protect and enhance water supply reliability throughout local communities.
Integrated Resources Plan (IRP): The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California developed an IRP along with its 26 member agencies throughout Southern California. The IRP is a planning document for long-term regional water supply reliability to identify overall supply reliability targets for imported water sources and supplies. Central Basin MWD supports these efforts to ensure water supply reliability for the region.
As a wholesale water agency, Central Basin MWD's source of imported water is from the Metropolitan Water District. Metropolitan and Central Basin MWD will be able to meet all of the District's requested demands.
