§ 10825 Water Management Planning Levels

This law says water management plans should match the size of the water system and the number of people it serves. It also says water-saving programs don't have to be used if they cost too much for the local area.

Key Takeaways

•Water plans should fit the size of the town or city and how much water they use.
•If saving water costs too much for a small place, they don’t have to do it.
•Big cities and small towns can have different rules for managing water.

Example

A small town with only 1,000 people and a tiny water system.

The town doesn’t have to follow the same big, expensive water-saving rules as a huge city because it’s smaller and has less water to manage. If a water-saving program costs too much for the town, they don’t have to do it.

(a) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this part to allow levels of water management planning commensurate with the numbers of customers served and the volume of water supplied. (b) This part does not require the implementation of water use efficiency programs or practices that are not locally cost effective. (Amended by Stats. 2018, Ch. 15, Sec. 14. (AB 1668) Effective January 1, 2019.)
