	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1376, Berryhill. Urban water management plan: comments.
   The Urban Water Management Planning Act requires every public and
private urban water supplier that directly or indirectly provides
water for municipal purposes to more than 3,000 customers, or
supplies more than 3,000 acre-feet of water annually, to prepare and
adopt an urban water management plan. The act requires each urban
water supplier to make the plan available for public inspection and
to hold a public hearing on the plan.
   This bill would require each urban water supplier to notify the
planning departments of any city or county within which the supplier
provides water with at least 60 days prior notice that the urban
water supplier will be reviewing the plan and considering amendments
or changes to the plan.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 10621 of the Water Code is amended to read:
   10621.  (a) Each urban water supplier shall update its plan at
least once every five years on or before December 31, in years ending

   (b) Every urban water supplier required to prepare a plan pursuant
to this part shall, at least 60 days prior to the public hearing on
the plan required by Section 10642, notify any city or county within
which the supplier provides water supplies that the urban water
supplier will be reviewing the plan and considering amendments or
changes to the plan. The urban water supplier may consult with, and
obtain comments from, any city or county that receives notice
pursuant to this subdivision.
   (c) The amendments to, or changes in, the plan shall be adopted
and filed in the manner set forth in Article 3 (commencing with
Section 10640).
