   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 authorize an urban water supplier to comply with this
requirement by submitting a copy of  an   the
most recent  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.

system and mitigate those vulnerabilities.

hazard mitigation plan or multihazard mitigation plan addresses
seismic risk. 
   (c) An urban water supplier shall update the seismic risk
assessment and mitigation plan when updating its urban water
