2025 Urban Water Management Plan

The El Dorado Irrigation District has finalized its 2025 Urban Water Management Plan to comply with state requirements under the Urban Water Management Planning Act, which mandates that water suppliers serving over 3,000 customers or delivering at least 3,000 acre-feet annually update their plans every five years. The plan evaluates water supply reliability under normal, single dry, and prolonged five-year drought conditions across a twenty-year horizon, incorporating a drought risk assessment and water shortage contingency plan. It serves as a strategic tool for the District’s leadership and staff to understand historical, current, and projected water conditions while aligning with evolving regulatory demands and regional land use patterns. The plan integrates infrastructure development, water demand management initiatives, and regional supply strategies to ensure long-term sustainability. The plan is managed by the District based in Placerville, California, with Brian Deason, Environmental Resources Supervisor, serving as the primary point of contact. The document reflects a comprehensive approach to water resource management, addressing both local operational needs and statewide challenges such as climate variability and regulatory changes. It supports informed decision-making by coordinating efforts between water supply, infrastructure, and conservation programs, ensuring the District can meet future water demands while maintaining reliability during periods of scarcity. The plan was posted for public awareness on June 9, 2026, and is accessible through the District’s official reporting platform.
