| The Urban Water Management
Planning Act requires water suppliers in California,
providing water for municipal purposes either directly or
indirectly to more than 3,000 customers or supplying more
than 3,000 acre-feet (ac-ft) of water annually, to prepare
and adopt a specific plan every five years which defines
their current and future water use, sources of supply and
its reliability, and existing conservation measures.
In recognition of the state requirements,
the City of Modesto (City) and the Modesto Irrigation
District (MID) have prepared this joint Urban Water
Management Plan (UWMP) for 2000. The purpose of the joint
plan is to provide a planning tool for both agencies in
developing and delivering municipal water supplies to the
joint water service area, and for the City to appropriately
manage urban water supplies and demands both within and
outside of the joint service area.
