2025 Urban Water Management Plan

Urban Water Management Plans (UWMPs) are comprehensive planning documents that evaluate a water supplier’s long‑term reliability over a 20–25 year horizon. These plans assess current and future water supplies, demands, and strategies to ensure a reliable water future for the communities we serve. Under the California Urban Water Management Planning Act, water suppliers must update their UWMPs every five years.

Following a public hearing during the Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC) Regular Board meeting on May 20, 2026, MWDOC officially adopted the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan and 2025 Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP). The WSCP is both a required component of the UWMP and a standalone document that may be updated independently. It outlines the stages, actions, and response strategies MWDOC will implement during water shortage conditions to help maintain reliable service and minimize potential impacts.

The final documents are available for public viewing:
