SCV Water to host Urban Water Management Plan workshop
News release
The Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency is initiating an update to its Urban Water Management Plan, a foundational planning document that guides long-term water supply reliability, conservation strategies, and climate resilience for the region.
The first public workshop on the update is scheduled Thursday.
The agency will be reviewing the 2020 UWMP and considering changes and amendments as applicable, according to a news release from the agency.
This update is more than a regulatory requirement — it is a strategic opportunity to shape the future of water in the SCV, the release said.
“SCV Water is committed to a transparent, inclusive, and community-informed process, and invites members of the public to participate in a series of workshops,” the release said.
The first, “UWMP Overview and Network Kickoff,” is scheduled to be held online via Zoom on Thursday from 6 to 7 p.m. Registration information is available at yourSCVWater.com/UWMP.
The release said the UWMP helps SCV Water:
- Plan for future water needs in the face of growth and climate change.
- Align with statewide goals like “Making Conservation a California Way of Life.”
- Ensure equitable access to water resources.
- Support infrastructure investments and emergency preparedness.
Through a series of workshops leading up to a public hearing in April 2026, SCV Water customers can join with other residents, businesses, public agencies, environmental groups, and community organizations to provide feedback that will guide the UWMP’s priorities, solutions, and implementation strategies, the release said.
