Urban Water Management Plan

Water agencies throughout the state are required by the California Department of Water Resources to prepare Urban Water Management Plans every five years in order to show that adequate water supplies are available to meet existing and future water demands.

OMWD’s 2025 plan is due to California’s Department of Water Resources by July 1, 2026. A public hearing on OMWD’s draft 2025 Urban Water Management Plan is being held at 5:30 p.m. at the April 15, 2026, Board of Directors meeting. 

Comments on the 2025 plan may be submitted through Thursday, April 30, 2026.
