The Urban Water Management Planning Act requires that a description be provided for the process that was used for the development of the UWMP. This chapter also includes the coordination and outreach that took place for this UWMP to come to fruition. 2.1 BASIS FOR PREPARING A PLAN The California Water Code (CWC) defines an “Urban water supplier” as a publicly or privately owned supplier of 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. At the time of preparation of the 2015 UWMP the City supplied water to over 13,000 active service connections, as summarized in Table 2-1, thereby qualifying as an urban water supplier and required to prepare an Urban Water Management Plan.
