WHEREAS, the California Legislature enacted Assembly Bill 797 (Water Code

3,000 acre feet of water annually, prepare an urban water management plan with a water shortage
contingency plan, the primary objective of which is to plan for the conservation and efficient use
of water; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Anaheim ("Anaheim") is an urban supplier of water
providing water to over 300,000 residents, and it is therefore subject to the requirements of the
Act; and,
WHEREAS, the Act requires that an urban water management plan be periodically
reviewed at least once every five years, and it also requires urban water suppliers to make any
amendments or changes to their plan which are required as a result of their review; and,
WHEREAS, on June 14, 2016, the City Council adopted Anaheim's 2015 Urban
Water Management Plan ("2015 Urban Water Management Plan") which was submitted to the
California Department of Water Resources (DWR) for review; and,
WHEREAS, after the DWR completed its review, it requested amendments to the
2015 Urban Water Management Plan through an advisory letter; and,
WHEREAS, in response to the advisory letter, Anaheim staff prepared revisions to
the 2015 Urban Water Management Plan, which the City Council adopted on December 20, 2016;
and,
WHEREAS, since this last review and update, Anaheim's urban water management
plan must again be reviewed and updated in compliance with the Act's five-year review and
adoption requirements; and.

and,
WHEREAS, in compliance with the Act's requirements, Anaheim prepared and
circulated for public review a draft 2020 Urban Water Management Plan ("2020 Urban Water
Management Plan"), a draft water shortage contingency plan ("Water Shortage Contingency
Plan") contained therein; the 2020 Urban Water Management Plan and Water Shortage
Contingency Plan are attached to the staff report accompanying this resolution; and
WHEREAS, additional amendments are required of the 2015 Urban Water
Management Plan because urban water suppliers, like Anaheim, that anticipate participating in or
receiving water from a proposed project in the Sacramento -San Joaquin Delta should provide
information in their 2015 and 2020 urban water management plans that can be used to demonstrate
consistency with Delta Plan Policy WR P1, Reduced Reliance on the Delta Through Improved
Regional Water Self -Reliance; these proposed amendments are attached to the staff report
accompanying this resolution ("2015 Urban Water Management Plan Amendment") and,

2020 Urban Water Management Plan; and,
