AGENDA TITLE: Public Hearing to Consider Adopting Resolution Adopting 2015 Urban Water
Management Plan Update
MEETING DATE: August 4, 2021
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Public Hearing to consider adopting resolution adopting 2015 Urban
Water Management Plan Update.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On June 1, 2016, Council approved and adopted the 2015 Urban
Water Management Plan (UWMP) Update, prepared by RMC Water
and Environment, of Walnut Creek. State law requires the UWMP
be updated by all water suppliers every five years. As included in the most recent UWMP requirements
(State Water Code Section 10632) and consistent with the 2020 UWMP Guidebook, UWMPs must now
include a statement of reliance on the Delta region in order to comply with the requirements of the plan.
This new requirement applies retroactively to the 2015 UWMP, which is amended to include a statement
on the City of Lodi's reliance on the Delta region (Exhibit A).
Though the City does not rely on the Delta for water supply, the City of Lodi does control land that lies
within the Delta Boundary. For this reason, the City's consultant preparing the UWMP recommended
Council adopt the 2015 UWMP Update, including the Statement of Reliance.
A summary of this letter and its effects will be presented at the public hearing, scheduled for the August 4,
2021 Council meeting. The draft Delta Reliance chapter was made available to the public on May 6,
2021.

City of Lodi Compliance with Reduced Delta Reliance
Compliance with Reduced Delta Reliance
The Sacramento -San Joaquin Delta Reform Act of 2009 (Delta Reform Act) (Water Code section 85000 et
seq) established the need to protect and enhance the Delta while providing a more reliable water supply for
California. The Delta Reform Act also requires there to be a reduce statewide reliance on the Delta for
future water supply needs through improved regional water supplies, conservation, and water use
efficiency. Water demand management measures are an additional method to reduce water use, which may
reduce reliance on Delta water.
The Delta Reform Act requires suppliers that participate in or plan to carry out a proposed covered action
or receive Delta water from a proposed covered action. A covered action is "an activity which may cause
either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in
the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment... "directly
undertaken by any public agency"" (Pub. Resources Code, § 21065) (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 23, § 5001).
The City of Lodi (City) does not participate in nor plan to carry out a proposed covered action or receive
Delta water from a proposed covered action. Therefore, the City does not need to prepare or submit DWR
2020 UWMP Guidebook Appendix C Tables C-1 through C-4. The City diverts water supplies from the
Mokelumne River, which are purchased from Woodbridge Irrigation District (WID), and extracts local
groundwater from the Eastern San Joaquin Groundwater Subbasin underlying the City. WID obtains its
supply from water rights settlement agreements with East Bay Municipal Utility Department (EBMUD)
based on the inflows into upstream facilities (Pardee Dam). Table 1 shows the City's water supplies for
2015 and 2020 along with supplies projected through 2045. An agreement with North San Joaquin Water
Conservation District (NSJWCD) for up to 1,000 acre-feet per year (AFY) was not included in projected
supplies as the agreement ended in October 2020.

The Mokelumne River flows into the Bay -Delta and discharges an average annual inflow of 402,000 AFY1.
Based on this average annual inflow, the City's Mokelumne River water supply is 1.5 percent of the 402,000
1 The average annual inflow for the Mokelumne River is based on inflows from 2002 to 2015 (DWR California Data
Exchange Center).

AFY and 0.7 percent during dry years when WID cannot meet the City's full 6,000 AFY allotment2. Total
Delta average annual inflow is approximately 35,000 TAF (from 1993 through 2003), which makes the
City's Mokelumne River supplies 0.02 percent of total Delta inflows (DWR 2007). Changes to the City's
water use and operations would make a relatively small impact on the Delta compared to larger suppliers.
However, the City wishes to support sustainable management and resiliency of the Delta as downstream
users impact upper watershed management.
The City will continue to improve water use efficiency by encouraging and incentivizing water saving
actions (i.e., rebate programs), updating rate structures, and using recycled water. In addition, the City will
implement its Water Shortage Contingency Plan during dry periods. The City will also continue to
participate in regional watershed and groundwater management through the Eastern San Joaquin
Groundwater Authority and Integrated Water Management.
Further information on the Mokelumne River with regards to Delta resiliency can be found through East
Bay Municipal Water District.
2 In the City of Lodi and WID's water agreement, during dry years WID may decrease the City's water allotment
down to 3,000 AFY, or by 50 percent.
