                        FEBRUARY 27, 2015

   An act to add Section 10632.5 to the Water Code, relating to
water.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 664, as amended, Hertzberg. Water: urban water management
planning.
   Existing law, the Urban Water Management Planning Act, requires
every urban water supplier to prepare and adopt an urban water
management plan for submission to the Department of Water Resources
and other entities that includes specified content, including an
urban water shortage contingency analysis. Existing law requires this
analysis to include actions to be undertaken by the urban water
supplier to prepare for, and implement during, a catastrophic
interruption of water supplies, including an earthquake. Existing law
requires an urban water supplier to update its plan at least once
every 5 years on or before December 31, in years ending in 5 and 0,
except that the 2015 plan is required to be updated and submitted to
the department by July 1, 2016.
   This bill would require an urban water supplier to include within
its plan  ,   beginning January 1, 2020,  a seismic
risk assessment and mitigation plan to assess the vulnerability of
each of the various facilities of a water system and mitigate those
vulnerabilities.  This bill would require the urban water
supplier to submit the seismic risk assessment and mitigation plan by
July 1, 2017.  This bill would authorize an urban water
supplier to comply with this requirement by submitting a copy of an
adopted local hazard mitigation plan or multihazard mitigation plan
under specified federal law that addresses seismic risk.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.

local hazard mitigation plan or multihazard mitigation plan addresses
seismic risk.

seismic risk assessment and mitigation plan in the urban water
management plan update due on July 1, 2016.
