Urban Water Management Plan 2015

targets will be customized to the unique conditions of the agencies. Urban Stakeholder meetings will be held to review the targets, and DWR will issue proposed draft framework to the public by January 10, 2017. The DWR staff was contacted as part of this UWMP update to determine if the EO has any impact to the 2015 UWMP. The DWR staff indicated that there would be no impact to the 2015 UWMP, however, that as stakeholder meetings commence, and draft framework is put into place, requirements may change. As such, the City is monitoring the potential changes and will update accordingly as requirements are finalized. 5.2 UPDATING CALCULATIONS FROM THE 2010 UWMP This section discusses the target use method and the use of the 2010 Census data update. 5.2.1 Update of Target Method The 2020 Urban Water Use Target established as part of the 2010 UWMP planning process was determined using the straight 20 percent reduction, defined by DWR as Method 1. The target method used to calculate the 2020 urban water use target will not be updated as part of the 2015 UWMP. 5.2.2 Required Use of 2010 U.S. Census Data Following a review of the Department of Finance (DOF) population estimates for 2010 based on 2000 census data and 2010 census data, DWR determined that significant discrepancies exist; it was determined that any agency that used the 2010 population based on the 2000 census data must recalculate the population over the baseline period for the 2015 UWMP using 2000 and 2010 Census data. The City’s 2010 UWMP used population data based on the 2000 census in calculating the population over the baseline period; therefore, as part of the 2015 UWMP, the population over the baseline period has been updated based on the 2010 census data.
