Development of the 2025 Coachella Valley Region 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

For the 2025 planning cycle, six agencies in the Coachella Valley are collaborating to update the Regional Coachella Valley UWMP (CV UWMP). The CV UWMP meets each agency’s obligations under the Act, and demonstrates a collaborative approach to managing regional water resources while encouraging water use efficiency.

The final documents are scheduled to be adopted by each agency’s governing board in June 2026 and then submitted to the state on July 1, 2026.
