City of Morgan Hill
2015 Urban Water Management Plan
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.
