Coachella Valley Urban Water Management Plan

The Final Draft of the Regional UWMP is available at the following link: Final Draft Regional UWMP

Development of the 2025 Coachella Valley Regional Urban Water Management Plan

California’s Urban Water Management Planning Act (Act) requires urban water suppliers in the state to adopt a Regional Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) every five years. The UWMP includes:

• A forecast of a supplier’s water demands and available supplies for the next 20 years
• An assessment of the reliability of those supplies during drought
• The programs a water supplier has in place to encourage water use efficiency
• Actions that suppliers could take to reduce demands in times of constrained supply

The 2025 Coachella Valley Regional Urban Water Management Plan (Regional UWMP) is currently being prepared by the six urban water suppliers in the Coachella Valley. The 2025 Regional UWMP meets each agency’s obligations under the UWMP Act, and demonstrates a collaborative approach to managing regional water resources while encouraging water use efficiency. The 2025 Regional UWMP includes both regional chapters and individual agency chapters and is currently in Final Draft pending adoption by each agency during scheduled public hearings.

How to Participate

Members of the public are encouraged to attend public hearings for the adoption of the Regional UWMP and 2025 Water Shortage Contingency Plan (an appendix to the Regional UWMP) for their respective agency.
