Council adopts City of Corona 2025 Urban Water Management Plan; staff says it will inform future rates and capital projects
Summary
The City adopted its 2025 Urban Water Management Plan, a statutorily required document that forecasts supply and demand, aligns with SBX7 targets and references the city's water‑shortage contingency plan (Ordinance 2962); staff said the plan informs infrastructure and rate planning and will come back with specific projects as they are identified.
Utilities director Mr. Moody presented the City of Corona’s 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) during a public hearing on June 3 and asked the council to adopt the required plan and associated resolution.
Moody said the UWMP forecasts the city’s water demands and supply reliability across multiple sources — Colorado River water, groundwater, State Project water — and includes water‑loss performance standards and a water‑shortage contingency plan previously adopted as Ordinance 2962. He also referenced state mandates including SBX7 as elements that guide targeted compliance and conservation benchmarks.
The UWMP sets a planning horizon for the next 20–25 years and helps the city prioritize capital projects and developer impact‑fee calculations. Council asked how the plan translates into major infrastructure decisions and future rate discussions; Moody said major capital items will be brought to council as projects become defined and that larger regional projects (e.g., Bay‑Delta conveyance options or Colorado River negotiations) could affect the city's supply picture.
There was no public correspondence for the hearing; the council closed the hearing and adopted the UWMP by vote.
