ACWA Regulatory Advisory – April 7, 2015

State Board Releases Proposed Framework for Meeting Governor’s Mandate of 25% Water Reduction in Urban Areas Comments on Framework Due Monday, April 13

The State Water Resources Control Board late today released a fact sheet and proposed regulatory framework for implementing the required 25% reduction in urban water use outlined in the April 1 executive order issued by Gov. Jerry Brown.

The fact sheet, framework and a spreadsheet that provides the residential gallons per capita per day information (R-GPCD) for each urban water supplier can be found at this link under the “Documents” tab.

ACWA members are encouraged to review the fact sheet for information on the emergency rulemaking, including the schedule and how to provide input.

Comments on the proposed regulatory framework are due by April 13.

The State Board plans to release a draft Emergency Regulation on April 17, an Emergency Rulemaking Notice on April 28, and will consider approval at a State Board hearing on May 5 or 6.
