. (a) If, as a result of its assessment, the public water
system concludes that its water supplies are, or will be,
insufficient, the public water system shall provide to the city or
county its plans for acquiring additional water supplies, setting
forth the measures that are being undertaken to acquire and develop
those water supplies. If the city or county, if either is required to
comply with this part pursuant to subdivision (b), concludes as a
result of its assessment, that water supplies are, or will be,
insufficient, the city or county shall include in its water supply
assessment its plans for acquiring additional water supplies, setting
forth the measures that are being undertaken to acquire and develop
those water supplies. Those plans may include, but are not limited
to, information concerning all of the following:
(1) The estimated total costs, and the proposed method of
financing the costs, associated with acquiring the additional water
supplies.
(2) All federal, state, and local permits, approvals, or
entitlements that are anticipated to be required in order to acquire
and develop the additional water supplies.
(3) Based on the considerations set forth in paragraphs (1) and
(2), the estimated timeframes within which the public water system,
or the city or county if either is required to comply with this part
pursuant to subdivision (b), expects to be able to acquire additional
water supplies.
(b) The city or county shall include the water supply assessment
provided pursuant to Section 10910, and any information provided
pursuant to subdivision (a), in any environmental document prepared
for the project pursuant to Division 13 (commencing with Section
21000) of the Public Resources Code.
(c) The city or county may include in any environmental document
an evaluation of any information included in that environmental
document provided pursuant to subdivision (b). The city or county
shall determine, based on the entire record, whether projected water
supplies will be sufficient to satisfy the demands of the project, in
addition to existing and planned future uses. If the city or county
determines that water supplies will not be sufficient, the city or
county shall include that determination in its findings for the
project.
