DWR has released the Draft Urban Water Management Plan Guidebook 2020.The Guidebook provides urban water suppliers with technical assistance for preparing an UWMP. Use of the UWMP Guidebook is voluntary.

This workshop is an opportunity for the public to comment on the Draft Guidebook.DWR will present a brief overview of the major changes to the Guidebook since the 2015 version and solicit feedback and comments.
