Metropolitan’s 2010 Regional Urban Water Management Plan (RUWMP) has been prepared in compliance with the Water Code Sections of the Urban Water Management Planning Act.

The information included in the Draft 2010 RUWMP represents the most current available planning projections of supply capability and demand developed through a collaborative process with the member agencies through the Integrated Water Resources Plan Update.

Metropolitan is in the process of completing its 2010 Integrated Water Resources Plan Update (2010 IRP Update), which represents Metropolitan’s comprehensive planning process and will serve as Metropolitan’s blueprint for long-term water reliability, including key supply development and water use efficiency goals.
