Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency's 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP)

On June 9 and June 16, 2026, the Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency’s Board of Directors formally adopted its 2025 Water Shortage Contingency Plan and 2025 Urban Water Management Plan, respectively. The WSCP outlines specific procedures for detecting, responding to, and managing water shortages through defined shortage levels, targeted demand-reduction measures, and standardized communication protocols to ensure coordinated public response during periods of water scarcity. The UWMP, developed in compliance with California Water Code sections 10610–10656 and 10608, provides a comprehensive 20-year assessment of water supply reliability, evaluates current and projected water demands, and details strategies for demand management and water shortage preparedness. It also reports on progress toward achieving state-mandated urban water use efficiency goals and includes an analysis of recycled water use and future expansion plans. Both plans are integral to the Agency’s long-term water resource strategy and are required under state law to ensure sustainable water management for the Santa Clarita community. The plans are formally documented under the title Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency’s 2025 Urban Water Management Plan and Water Shortage Contingency Plan, with the adoption records publicly posted on June 23, 2026.
