Attention: Jay Jaso, Management Analyst
Subject: Final Draft 2015 Urban Water Management Plan
Dear Jay:
We are pleased to submit the City of Morgan Hill 2015 Urban Water Management Plan (2015
UWMP) which is intended to address the Urban Water Management Planning Act (UWMPA) of
1983 and amendments thereof.
The City’s 2010 UWMP received a letter of review and completeness from the Department of
Water Resources in April 2014. This 2015 UWMP addresses additional amendments to the
UWMPA and new guidelines established by the Department of Water Resources. One of the
amendments, SB 555 enacted in October 2015, requires urban retail water suppliers to quantify
and report their distribution system losses in accordance with the American Water Works
Association water audit methodology.
We extend our thanks to you, Karl Bjarke, Public Works Director; Dan Repp, Deputy Director of
Utility Services; Saeid Vaziry, Chief Engineer at SCRWA; Anthony Eulo, Environmental
Services Program Administrator; and other City staff whose courtesy and cooperation were
valuable in completing this study.
Sincerely,
AKEL ENGINEERING GROUP, INC.
