In accordance with the California Urban Water Management Planning Act, all California agencies providing water to more than 3,000 customers or more than 3,000 acre-feet of water per year are required to update their Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) every five years and submit them to the Department of Water Resources. The UWMP looks at IRWD's historic and current water use projections and compares water supplies with demands over the next 20 years. The plan identifies the imported and local water supplies that will meet future demands including groundwater recovery and water recycling, as well as IRWD's current and planned conservation measures. This helps to ensure that we can provide our service area with a reliable supply of high-quality water and meet current and future demand.
Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD) completed its 2005 update to the Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and the IRWD Board held a public hearing and adopted the UWMP on November 28, 2005. The UWMP serves as a long-range planning document for water supply and demand and provides an overview of IRWD's water supply and usage, recycled water and conservation programs.
A copy of the 2005 update is available for review (see links below). If you have any questions on the UWMP please contact Kelly Welch at welch@irwd.com or (949) 453-5604.
