10635
. (a) Every urban water supplier shall include, as part of its
urban water management plan, an assessment of the reliability of its
water service to its customers during normal, dry, and multiple dry
water years. This water supply and demand assessment shall compare
the total water supply sources available to the water supplier with
the total projected water use over the next 20 years, in five-year
increments, for a normal water year, a single dry water year, and
multiple dry water years. The water service reliability assessment
shall be based upon the information compiled pursuant to Section
10631, including available data from state, regional, or local agency
population projections within the service area of the urban water
supplier.
(b) The urban water supplier shall provide that portion of its
urban water management plan prepared pursuant to this article to any
city or county within which it provides water supplies no later than
60 days after the submission of its urban water management plan.
(c) Nothing in this article is intended to create a right or
entitlement to water service or any specific level of water service.
(d) Nothing in this article is intended to change existing law
concerning an urban water supplier's obligation to provide water
service to its existing customers or to any potential future
customers.
