El Monte council adopts 2025 Urban Water Management Plan and approves citywide sewer assessment for 2026-27
Summary
The council adopted the City of El Monte 2025 Urban Water Management Plan and Water Shortage Contingency Plan and approved the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 sewer assessment (Resolutions No. 10699 and 10700) after public comment; both votes were unanimous.
The El Monte City Council on June 10 adopted the City of El Monte 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) by approving Resolution No. 10699. Mayor Jessica Ancona moved and Councilmember Cindy Galvan seconded the motion; the vote was 7-0.
During the public hearing the council received a staff presentation, posed questions to staff and heard public comments from Armando Herman and a speaker identified as "Mistress Transgender." After closing the public hearing the council adopted the resolution confirming the UWMP and WSCP as the city's formal planning documents for water supply management and shortage response.
In a separate public hearing the council approved a resolution levying the FY 2026-2027 citywide sewer assessment on real property parcels connected to the city's sewer system and directed that the assessment be added to the Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller's property tax roll (Resolution No. 10700). Mayor Ancona moved and Councilmember Marisol Cortez seconded the motion; the vote was 7-0.
What happens next: Staff will file the assessments with the Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller and implement the UWMP/WSCP steps as directed. Any operational or capital work required by the plans will follow the city's budget and project approval processes.
