On December 13, 2005, the SFPUC adopted the 2005 Urban Water Management Plan for the City and County of San Francisco. A Public Draft of the document was released in October 2005 and a Public Hearing was held on November 9, 2005.

The California Urban Water Management Act of 1983 (Water Code Section 10610 – 10657) requires that all urban water suppliers who provide water for municipal purposes to more than 3,000 customers or supply more than 3,000 acre-feet of water annually must prepare an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP). These Plans were first submitted to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) in 1985 and submittal of updated Plans to the DWR is required every five years. In its Urban Water Management Plan, an urban water supplier must describe and evaluate sources of water supply, efficient water uses, demand management measures, implementation strategy and schedule, and other relevant information and programs.
