2025 Urban Water Management Plans and Water Shortage Contingency Plan for Los Angeles County Waterworks District

The Los Angeles County Public Works is preparing to update the Urban Water Management Plans and Water Shortage Contingency Plan for all Los Angeles County Waterworks Districts in alignment with California Water Code requirements, which mandate a five-year update cycle. These plans are essential for ensuring long-term water reliability and resilience, particularly during periods of drought or declared water emergencies. The UWMPs outline strategic, coordinated approaches to securing adequate water supplies for the communities served by the Districts, incorporating supply assessments, demand projections, and conservation measures. The WSCP establishes clear protocols for responding to water shortages, including staged conservation actions, public communication strategies, and operational controls to prioritize essential uses during crises. The solicitation is forecasted for 2025, with the posting date listed as July 7, 2026, indicating the planning and procurement process is currently in development. The work will be performed within California, under the oversight of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works. Rami Gindi, Principal Engineer, serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries related to the plan updates, and all information and future solicitation details can be accessed through the provided CEQA Net project link. Compliance with state law is a non-negotiable requirement, and the updated plans must reflect current hydrologic conditions, infrastructure capabilities, and regulatory expectations to maintain water supply integrity for the region.
