2010 UWMP Guidebook

The final version of the Guidebook to Assist Urban Water Suppliers to Prepare a 2010 Urban Water Management Plan is now available. The file has embedded hotlinks in it to facilitate electronic movement between cross-referenced information.

The guidebook is to assist urban water suppliers with 3,000 or more service connections or supplying 3,000 or more acre-feet of water per year in preparing their 2010 UWMPs. The 2010 UWMPs are to be approved by the water supplier's governing entity by July 1 and submitted to DWR by August 1, 2011. Figure D-2 (the flowchart) is also available as a separate file in 11x17 format.

To help water suppliers readily identify the changes made to the guidebook between release of the December 21, 2009 draft version and the March 2, 2011 final version, a red-lined version of the guidebook was prepared.
