2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP)

The City of Hanford is implementing the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) to evaluate and ensure the long-term reliability of its water supply through the year 2050. This comprehensive planning effort focuses on managing current and projected water demands, evaluating both potable and non-potable water supplies, and assessing reliability across normal and multi-year drought scenarios. Key deliverables include a Drought Risk Assessment to analyze supply and demand during a modeled five-year drought and a Water Shortage Contingency Plan to establish specific response actions for increasing supply and reducing demand during shortages. Classified under NAICS code 541330, the project is managed by the City of Hanford Public Works Department and is located in Hanford, California. The initiative is statutorily exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) environmental review under Section 15282(v). Primary points of contact for the project include Senior Engineer Adrian Rubalcaba and Deputy City Manager Jason Waters.
