Urban Water Management Plan

Updated Urban Water Management Plan Documents

The Urban Water Management Planning Act requires the Alameda County Water District (ACWD) to update its Urban Water Management Plan (Plan) every five years. ACWD is currently working on the 2025-2030 Plan and Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) and seeking public input. The Plan and WSCP were last updated in 2021 and adopted by the ACWD Board of Directors on May 13, 2021. The ACWD Board of Directors also adopted the ACWD's Addendum to the 2015-2020 Plan on May 13, 2021. ACWD’s 2020-2025 Plan and WSCP and ACWD's Addendum to the 2015-2020 Plan are linked below.

We encourage all of our customers to participate in this review process. We will make any proposed revisions to the Plan and WSCP available for public review and will hold a public hearing in spring 2026. If you would like to learn more about the current Plan, WSCP, the schedule for considering changes to these, or how to participate in the process, please contact:

ACWD appended its 2015-2020 Plan to meet the requirements of the Delta Plan Policy WR P1, “Reduce Reliance on the Delta Through Improved Regional Water Self-Reliance” (“Reduce Reliance on the Delta”; California Code of Regulations, Title 23, section 5003) and is linked here: ACWD's Addendum to the 2015-2020 Plan (PDF). ACWD's 2020-2025 Plan also includes the Reduce Reliance on the Delta requirements and Water Shortage Contingency Plan.

ACWD has also worked with the California Department of Water Resources to address minor edits to the 2020-2025 Plan and Water Shortage Contingency Plan; these edits were minor and resulted in no substantial changes to these documents. These minor edits and errata sheet were incorporated in the Plan and Water Shortage Contingency Plan Final Versions Including Minor Edits linked below. Previous versions of the Plan/Water Shortage Contingency Plan are linked below as well.
