An act to add Section 10631.2 to the Water Code, relating to urban
water management.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1036, as amended, Pavley. Urban water management plans.
Existing law, the Urban Water Management Planning Act, requires
every public and private urban water supplier that directly or
indirectly provides water for municipal purposes to prepare and adopt
an urban water management plan. The act requires each urban water
supplier to update its plan at least once every 5 years on or before
December 31, in years ending in 5 and zero, and requires an urban
water supplier to submit copies of its plan and copies of amendments
or changes to the plan to certain entities, including the Department
of Water Resources.
This bill would authorize an urban water supplier to include
within an urban water management plan certain energy-related
information, including, but not limited to, an estimate of the amount
of energy used to extract or divert water supplies. This bill
would require the department to develop a methodology for the
voluntary reporting of energy intensity of urban water systems and
include this methodology in the guidance for the preparation of urban
water management plans.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
