x Low-Priority Mitigation Actions: address lower-risk concerns or long-term objectives and can be deferred without immediate impact to safety or core functions.
7.6.2 Changes in Criteria
The 2014 Los Angeles County AHMP’s Mitigation Action Matrix was prioritized using pUN1aJVA]3NJU_VJA]L^V_VmplApVvN-a]VpVJA]!NTA]_vVla _^N_pA]A_LJa_a^VJ 13-! ^NpUaLwUVJU"UALlNJa^^N_LNLAmAilValVpV|ApVa_ilaJNLqlNV_pUN early to mid-2000s. The 2020 AHMP replaced the use of STAPLEE with a more streamlined prioritization process that included the following:
x 3alN^NLyalilNvN_pA^A[alUNA]pUmASNpyUA|AlLA^VpVTApVa_ila[NJp^qmp have political support.

This prioritization method used in the 2020 AHMP has been adapted and incorporated into the prioritization criteria described previously in Section 7.6.

This portal will serve as a mechanism to obtain continuous public feedback as projects are implemen ted and offers access to mitigation resources.
x Standing Advisory Committee: The Hazard Mitigation Advisory Committee will be expanded to a standing status and will meet at least once per year or more often as determined necessary to support hazard mitigation projects. The standing Hazard Mitigation Advisory Committee will be comprised of representatives from diverse community groups to provide ongoing input and oversight of hazard mitigation efforts. The standing Hazard Mitigation Advisory Committee will also serve as an important forum for future updates of the AHMP .
These activities ensure that the community remains informed and actively engaged in the plan’s implementation and maintenance.

All-Hazards Mitigation Plan
9.1 Plan Adoption Overview
Plan Adoption addressed Element F of the Local Mitigation Plan Regulation Checklist under single jurisdiction plan requirement.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors of ficially adopted the 2025 All Hazard Mitigation Plan (AHMP) through a formal resolution on September 9, 2025. A scanned copy of the resolution is included in Appendix F. The Los Angeles County Of fice of Emergency Management (OEM) will retain the resolution for its records, while copies will be submitted to both Cal OES and FEMA.
This Plan adoption completes the mitigat ion planning process and department agencies, stakeholders, and community’s commitment to the goals and actions. It also recognizes the current planning process and acknowledges changes from the past five years and validates the priorities for hazard mitigation actions. It makes the community eligible for certain FEMA assistance that can fund some mitigation actions.
After being adopted by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, the 2025 AHMP transitions into the implementation phase. The success of the plan hinges on the integrating its mitigation strategies and actions into the local plans and policies. The mitigation action items collectively establish a robust framework to guide the County’s hazard mitigation strategies over the next five years. To ensure these strategies are effective, actionable and well aligned with the county’s long term resilience goals, the Planning Advisory Committee has set clear objectives. Their prioritized approach focuses on seamlessly blending mitigation actions with current policies, plans, and emphasizing collaboration and coherence throughout.

A master-metered complex has one water meter serving more than one unit in a building or buildings. The individual units do not have their own water meters.
Water Billing Unit
The billing unit for water usage in your Glendale Water & Power bill is hundred cubic feet (hcf). One hcf equals 748 gallons.
Brief Overview of Water Rate Schedules
On Tuesday, June 12, 2018, Glendale City Council approved new water revenue increases of 1%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, and 2% for the next five years. The new rates go into effect on July 1, 2018 and all subsequent increases will start on July 1 of the following years.
Glendale Water & Power maintains three Water Rates for Residential and Business Customers:
Standard Water Service Rate
Private Fire Line Water Service Rate
Recycled Water Service Rate
Standard Water Service Rate - WSF, WMF, WIR, WMC
This is the rate that applies to all regular water services in Glendale, residential and business. Please refer to “Explanation of Water Charge Components” at the bottom of this page for Water Rate Bill Codes.
The majority of residential water services have water meters of 1 inch or smaller. Water Variable Charge (WVC) is assessed when water is used through your meter. Customer Charge (CC) is assessed regardless of usage. Total Water Charges (TWC) = CC + WVC
Customer Charge: means meter charge and is based on the size of the water meter or fire line.
This component of the water rate reflects the cost of metering support, customer service, and maintaining customers’ account. Occasionally, the term "customer meter charge" or "customer charge" or "meter rates" may be used interchangeably. Charge is applied on a per-meter basis. To determine the meter size of your property check your bill or contact GWP Customer Service at 855-550-4497.

Drought Charge
The Drought Charge is currently in effect.
On January 18, 2022, the Glendale City Council approved Phase III of Glendale Water & Power’s Water Conservation Ordinance to begin on February 1, 2022. Glendale and many cities in the State that rely on water from the State Water Project are moving towards increasing their Mandatory Water Conservation phases due to a lack of expected runoff amid the summer months.
Phase III of the Mandatory Water Conservation Ordinance will limit outside watering to two days a week: Tuesdays and Saturdays for no more than 10 minutes at each watering station. The drought charge for Phase III of Mandatory Water Conservation is $0.45/HCF, which equates to about $.0006/gallon, or 60 cents for 1,000 gallons of water.
On June 12, 2018, the City Council adopted a new water rate fee structure effective July 1, 2018.
In anticipation possible drought conditions in California, the new rate-structure also included an additional fee, or Drought Charge. The Drought Charge is specifically related to drought conditions and would go into effect upon the approval by the City Council of any of the four phases of our mandatory water conservation ordinance.
The purpose of the Drought Charge is two-fold: 1) to keep the utility financially secure should California enter into a prolonged drought period and revenues from consumption declined in response to mandatory conservation, and 2) to encourage water conservation among all customers. The Drought Charge was designed such that customers who meet the curtailment target will likely not experience an increase in their total bill. The table below shows the various Drought Charges by Mandatory Water Conservation Phase and Drought Charge Stage.
Mandatory Conservation Phase Phase I Phase II Phase III Phase IV Phase V Corresponding Drought Rate Stage N/A Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 Drought Charge Per HCF Sold N/A $0.30 $0.45 $0.60 $0.75 Curtailment Target N/A 20% 30% 40% 50%
The Drought Charges are to be imposed immediately upon the declaration of Mandatory Water Conservation Phase II, III, IV, or V by the City Council, and remain in effect until such time that the Mandatory Conservation Phase is lifted.
