2010 Urban Water Management Plan and 2010 Urban Water Shortage Contingency Plan
On June 14, 2011, the City Council conducted a public hearing and adopted, by Resolution No. 27907, the City of Santa Rosa 2010 Urban Water Management Plan (2010 Plan).
On December 19, 2011, the State of California's Department of Water Resources finished their review of the City of Santa Rosa 2010 Urban Water Management Plan and deemed the Plan complete.
Each urban water purveyor serving more than 3,000 connections or 3,000 acre-feet annually is required by the State of California Urban Water Management Planning Act to prepare and submit an Urban Water Management Plan (Plan) every five years. The City has prepared our 2010 Plan according to the requirements of the Urban Water Management Planning Act. The 2010 Plan includes information and analysis about Santa Rosa's projected water supply and demand through 2035 during an average water year, a single dry year, and multiple dry years; current and projected recycled water use; water conservation program details; and detailed information about our regional water supply. The 2010 Plan also includes an update to the City's Urban Water Shortage Contingency Plan, which is included in Appendix G of the 2010 Plan.

2020 Community Water Use Target Public Hearing
In 2009, Senate Bill x7-7, the Water Conservation Act (SB x7-7), was signed into law. SB x7-7 set a goal of achieving a 20% reduction in statewide urban per capita water use by the year 2020 and requires urban water retailers to set an interim 2015 and a final 2020 community urban per capita water use target. SB x7-7 requires urban water suppliers to increase water use efficiency while recognizing and provide credit to those urban water suppliers that have made substantial capital investments in water conservation since the 1990s.
On April 19th, the Santa Rosa City Council held a public hearing and adopted the Community Water Use Target for 2020, as required by Senate Bill x7-7 the Water Conservation Act of 2009, for inclusion in the City of Santa Rosa’s 2010 Urban Water Management Plan.

2010 Urban Water Management Plan Development

Over 20 public meetings were held with the Water Conservation Subcommittee, the BPU and the City Council to provide input on the development of the 2010 Plan.
