SUBJECT:
RESOLUTION NO. 8607 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HAWTHORNE, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING AN APPROPRIATION SPENDING LIMIT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027 IN COMPLIANCE WITH ARTICLE XIIIB OF THE STATE CONSTITUTION.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 8607 establishing the City’s appropriations limit computed for the coming fiscal year, as required by the California Constitution. The City’s appropriations limit for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 has been computed at $108,557,414.
DISCUSSION:
Article XIIIB of the California Constitution (Gann Limit) requires that the City compute an annual appropriations limit. This limit sets the maximum amount of appropriations that can be made from tax receipts. Taxes exceeding this limit must be returned to the residents or may be spent with the approval of a majority vote. The estimated annual tax receipts for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 were approximately $83.8 million and well below the limit of $108.6 million.
The annual adjustment for the limit is also provided by Article XIIIB and is to be based on the change in the California per capita personal income combined with the greater of the change in population in the jurisdiction or the jurisdiction’s county. For the purposes of calculating the City’s appropriations limit for the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 staff has used the City’s population factor as it exceeds the County’s population growth factor for the past year. Using these two factors, the coming year’s limit is $108,557,414.
The attached Exhibit A provides the calculation information for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN:
.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Failure to adopt an appropriations limit will result in the State withholding gas taxes. Estimated gas tax revenues for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 are approximately $5 million.
NOTICING PROCEDURE:
72 Hours posted notice pursuant to the Ralph M. Brown Act.

SUBJECT:
ORDINANCE 2262 (SECOND READING) - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HAWTHORNE, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE CITY ZONING MAP TO ADD 4457 W. 120TH ST. (APNs: 4044-018-040 AND -041) TO THE HOUSING OVERLAY AND MAKING A
FINDING OF EXEMPTION IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Motion to Adopt Ordinance No. 2262.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Hawthorne adopted its most recent Housing Element in 2023. This update included a Housing Overlay (HO), which was created to enable the City to meet state and regional requirements to create more opportunities for housing, such as the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).
Ordinances 2240 and 2241 were adopted in 2023 by the City Council to add Hawthorne Municipal Code Chapter 17.85, Housing Overlay into the Zoning Code and to update the Zoning Map to include the HO (Attachment 1). The HO includes 31 sites across the City. These sites were selected based upon several criteria, including: vacant lots, declining use, severe blight conditions, and multiple lots under single ownership. As sites within the HO are developed, new sites may be added to the HO to meet RHNA and other state and regional housing requirements.
The property that is being proposed for inclusion into the HO is located along W. 120th St., west of Hawthorne Blvd. (see Attachment 2). It had previously been developed with six multifamily units, but has been vacant for several years. Due to its long-term vacant status, the property deteriorated and is subject to frequent break-ins and acts of vandalism.
The site is within the Downtown Hawthorne Specific Plan and is designated as Mixed Commercial.
This is reflected in the property’s zoning, which is also Mixed Commercial. This zoning permits a mixed-use development, but does not permit a purely residential use. As such, it limits the ability of the property to be developed in a manner consistent with its previous use in a location where commercial uses would be essentially nonviable if not consolidated with adjoining properties.
The site meets the same criteria as the original properties designated as part of the HO. The properties are vacant and is severely blighted and is under a single owner. If the property is added to the HO, any development for a residential use will have to comply with HMC Chapter 17.100, Multifamily and Mixed-Use Objective Design Standards. There is a proposal to demolish the existing structures and to develop seven new units, which is in alignment with the permitted density of the HO.
This change of zone is statutorily exempt from CEQA per Section 21080.085 of the Public Resources Code. This statutory exemption applies to “a rezoning that implements the schedule of actions contained in an approved housing element…” There are exceptions to this statutory exemption for projects involving oil and gas infrastructure or rezoning involving natural and protected lands, neither of which apply to this site. Maintaining the appropriate supply of properties in the HO is a required step in the implementation of the Housing Element; therefore, no further CEQA analysis is required.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal 4: Update Zoning Code for the 21st century.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No immediate impact. Additional property tax will be generated once the properties are developed and reaccessed.

SUBJECT:
PUBLIC HEARING AND ORDINANCE NO. 2263 (FIRST READING) - AN ORDINANCE OF THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HAWTHORNE, CALIFORNIA, REORGANIZING THE CHAPTERS OF TITLE 17 OF THE HAWTHORNE MUNICIPAL CODE, ADDING STATUTORY
LANGUAGE RELATED TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AND DELETING SEVERAL OBSOLETE
CHAPTERS, AND MAKING A FINDING OF EXEMPTION IN COMPLIANCE WITH CEQA IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
1. Open public hearing;
2. Take testimony from public;
3. Close public hearing;
4. Introduce the Ordinance.
DISCUSSION:
Certain parts of the Hawthorne Municipal Code (HMC) need to be updated, as does the General Plan.
In theory, the General Plan, as the policy behind the HMC, should be addressed first, and the rewriting of the General Plan has already begun. Waiting for the General Plan updates, however, will put any zoning improvements on the back burner for several more years. Meanwhile, there are zoning amendments that are needed immediately due to changes in state laws.
This proposed ordinance addresses two particular points that the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) requested of the City. The first is the lack of certain language that clarifies that some types of affordable housing projects must be reviewed and approved by-right. In other words, these projects are not permitted to be subjected to discretionary approval processes, such as conditional use permits, design review, or any other application where the deciding body is not simply applying the Municipal Code regulations and determining compliance or not. The second point relates to the regulations around accessory dwelling units (ADUs).
By-right Affordable Housing
As it stands, the City does not require a discretionary permit for most new housing construction. There are three cases where discretionary permits are still required, which are design review for new multifamily or mixed-use developments, subdivision map approval for condominiums, and density bonus projects. However, the multifamily and mixed-use projects that include at least 20% of the units affordable to lower-income individuals, and which are on the City’s Housing Element Site Inventory, must be exempt from our design review requirement pursuant to California Government Code (GC) § 65583.2(c). Furthermore, GC § 65583.2(h) requires that developments in the City’s Housing Overlay or R-3 zone that are listed in Appendix B of the Housing Element, and are 100% residential, must also be by-right.
Cases where 20% of units are affordable for lower-income individuals would likely involve a very small number of developments in Hawthorne. There are already six state laws identified in HMC §
17.100.010(B) that also require design review exemptions, and this list is expected to grow as new state laws are passed regularly that require certain housing developments to be by-right. Many planners in California believe it is a matter of time before the state legislature makes all residential developments by-right. So, while the City could add the 20% rule to the list of exempt projects, and given that most residential projects in Hawthorne are, and historically have been, by-right, staff recommended that all multifamily developments be made by-right at this time. The Planning Commission, however, voted to maintain the design review requirement for multifamily housing types that are not deemed ministerial by state laws. This change was made to the draft ordinance attached to this bill.
The second case requires 100% residential developments on properties identified in Appendix B of the Housing Element to also be by-right. Appendix B lists properties in Hawthorne that were to be rezoned to R-3 or have the Housing Overlay applied. The rezoning and overlay task were completed in 2023.
Although this rule does not exclusively apply to affordable housing, the intent of the law is to make accommodating affordability easier.
Subdivision maps and the density bonus agreements will continue to be processed as they currently are.
ADU Compliance
State ADU laws are regularly changing to close unintended loopholes and to address previously unforeseen situations. Cities are expected to amend their local ADU ordinances to reflect these changes, but for small cities with small staff, this is not always feasible. Staff took the approach that we adhere to the latest state regulations wherever there is disagreement with our local ordinance, and we intended to amend the ordinance when the differences became too many, or when staffing permitted, whichever came first. This position was relayed to HCD after they identified our ADU ordinance as being out of compliance. Although HCD agreed to a reasonable time-frame for fixing our ADU ordinance, they also indicated that our ADU regulations were effectively null and void and requested that we rescind the ordinance for now. This should remove any potential for confusion for anyone that relies on the City’s outdated ADU regulations while not knowing that we are actually following state regulations. This ordinance makes it clear that we are following state procedures by replacing the ADU chapter with a note redirecting the reader to the state laws. The note will be replaced by a future ADU ordinance that complies with state laws.
Reorganization
The two tasks described above are relatively minor amendments that could be accomplished in a matter of just a few pages in an ordinance. However, Staff was already preparing a large Zoning Code reorganization amendment when we were contacted by HCD about the matters above. Given the minor nature of the requested changes, Staff decided to add them into the reorganization amendment that was in progress.
The main purposes of the reorganization amendment were to create a logical sequence and grouping of regulations, to remove as much repetitious language as possible, delete obsolete chapters or sections, and apply a numbering system that would allow for future amendments without resorting to adding new chapters to the end of Title 17.
The reorganization amendment also makes minor edits that would not significantly change zoning regulations, but are intended to initiate the standardization the Zoning Code. Among these changes are the following:
● consistent use of punctuation and capitalization;
● use of plain and simple English sentence constructions, including eliminating conventions of legal documents that serve no purpose in this context;
● standardizing the outline hierarchy to match the remainder of the HMC; ● standardized representation of numbers and percentages; and ● removal of links to previously deleted sections.
The task of reorganization has many complications. The Zoning Code currently has 61 chapters, and the intended outcome results in only 32 chapters. Six chapters are to be deleted because they are obsolete, and among the remaining 55 chapters, most chapters are expected to be merged with other chapters.
Merging chapters is a very complex task unless they are simply deleted and replaced with the new text. This was the plan, but rewriting each merged chapter was taking far more staff time and effort than expected, and some chapters are more urgently needed to be reorganized than others. The initial plan to focus on the high priority chapters proved to be infeasible because many low priority chapters are occupying the places in the numeric organizational system that are needed for the new chapters. For example, the chapters addressing residential zones are planned to occupy 17.20 through 17.24, but these slots are currently used by chapters with a lower priority that would need to be moved. These chapters also need to be merged, and doing the reorganization piecemeal becomes very complicated to track.
To avoid confusion, this ordinance creates clusters of chapters that will be merged in future ordinances by designating them with the intended chapter number and adding a letter to the chapter designation.
For example, the residential zones will ultimately be organized into five chapters as follows:
Chapter 17.20 Residential Zones
Chapter 17.21 Residential Development Standards
Chapter 17.22 Residential Design Standards
Chapter 17.23 Residential Operational Standards
Chapter 17.24 Additional Standards for Selected Residential Uses The content of these five chapters are currently found in 12 existing chapters, and there are portions of other chapters that need to also be moved into these chapters. To facilitate the merging of chapters on a temporary basis, the 12 existing chapters are being designated as follows:
Chapter 17.20a R-1 Zone
Chapter 17.20b R-2 Zone
Chapter 17.20c R-3 Zone
Chapter 17.20d R-4 Zone
Chapter 17.21a Residential Development Standards
Chapter 17.21b Building Height
Chapter 17.22 Residential Design Standards
Chapter 17.24b Accessory Dwelling Units
Chapter 17.24c Home Occupations
Chapter 17.24d Family Day Care Homes
Chapter 17.24e Short-term Rentals
Chapter 17.24f Two-unit Residential Development and Urban Lot Splits Chapters 17.20a though 17.20d will be merged into 17.20 in a future reorganization, 17.21a and
17.21b will likewise be merged into 17.21, and so on. This takes us a step closer and also allows future reorganization efforts to be piecemealed as time and resources permit.
The bulk of this ordinance is redirecting cross-references within Title 17. Obviously, changing a chapter’s number requires finding and redirecting all the cross-references to that chapter found in other parts of the Zoning Code. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of cross-references. This ordinance systematically redirects each one. Since most of these cross-references will need to be redirected again as future amendments are made, as many as possible are being changed to redirect without reference to a chapter number. Grammatical and numbering issues are also addressed in these sections.
Summary
The attached ordinance comprehensively reorganizes the Zoning Code, or Title 17 of the Municipal Code. The current ordinance’s changes are organizational, clarifying, or removing obsolete chapters.
These changes do not, cumulatively, change the City’s policies or procedures. What is accomplished is setting the stage for future amendments that will further this reorganization effort, making the task of a comprehensive amendment to conform to the new General Plan much easier when that time comes.
GENERAL PLAN COMPLIANCE
The adoption of this ordinance does not alter the Zoning Code’s compliance with the General Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
This zone text amendment endeavors to reorganize the Zoning Code, clarify portions of the text, and add certain statutory language required by state law. This is determined not to be a project under CEQA (Pub. Resources Code, § 21065) because no significant regulatory changes are being made.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal 4: Update the Zoning Code for the 21st century.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.

WHEREAS, amendments to Title 17 of the Hawthorne Municipal Code have not consistently conformed to the original logical organization of the Title; and WHEREAS, Title 17 also contains several chapters that are no longer relevant or needed; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to reorganize the chapters of Title 17 in preparation for a future comprehensive textual review and comprehensive edit; and WHEREAS, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) notified the City on October 13, 2025, that certain statutory language was not included in the ordinances that implemented the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element (Ord Nos. 2240, 2241, and 2247); and
WHEREAS, California Government Code § 65583.2, Subdivisions (c) and (h) provide standards for development projects on lower-income shortfall sites; and WHEREAS, consistent with California Government Code § 65583.2, Subdivision (c), projects with at least 20 percent or more units affordable to lower-income individuals are permitted by-right on sites identified in “Appendix A—Site Inventory” of the Hawthorne 2021-2029 Housing Element to accommodate the lower income Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The phrase “by-right” means that the City’s review of the owneroccupied or multifamily residential use may not require a conditional use permit, planned unit development, or other discretionary review or approval that would constitute a “project” for purposes of Division 13 (commencing with § 21000) of the California Public Resources Code; and
WHEREAS, consistent with California Government Code § 65583.2, Subdivisions (c) and (h), to accommodate the lower-income RHNA, projects that contain 100 percent residential in the Housing Overlay or on R-3-zoned sites, identified in “Table B— 2 Candidate Sites Identified to be Rezoned to Accommodate Shortfall Housing Need” in the Hawthorne 2021-2029 Housing Element, are permitted by-right; and WHEREAS, the City adheres to the above-referenced statutory language, and provided written assurance to HCD, this ordinance inserts said language into the appropriate sections of Title 17; and
WHEREAS, California Government Code §§ 66310-66342 describe the development standards and review procedures for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs); and WHEREAS, HCD notified the City on November 21, 2025, that the City’s ADU ordinance (Ord. No. 2205) no longer conformed to state ADU law; and WHEREAS, the City had a draft revised ADU ordinance prepared in 2023, but before it could be adopted the state ADU laws were amended again; WHEREAS, the City adheres to California Government Code §§ 66310-66342 wherever Title 17 conflicts with state law; and
WHEREAS, HCD, nevertheless, formally requested that the City rescind its ADU chapter and adopt a new one that is fully compliant with current state laws; and WHEREAS, this ordinance rescinds the City’s ADU Chapter in Title 17 while a new chapter is being drafted; and
WHEREAS, on May 6, 2026, the Planning Commission of the City of Hawthorne considered the zone text amendments and, after a duly noticed public hearing where all persons in support and in opposition were heard, adopted Resolution No. PC 2026-04 recommending approval of the ordinance to the City Council; WHEREAS, on June 9, 2026, the City Council of the City of Hawthorne considered the zone text amendments and, after a duly noticed public hearing where all persons in support and in opposition were heard, introduced this ordinance.

A. Effective Dates. Decisions become effective and final on the close of business of the tenth 10th day following the date of issuance of the decision, unless an appeal or a call for review is filed before the effective date. The filing of an appeal or a call for review has the effect of tolling the time period in which an appeal or call for review may be filed, with resumption of the day count at the time the appeal or call for review is withdrawn. Recommendations by the Planning Commission to the City Council for legislative applications, such as zone text amendments and changes of zone, are not appealable.
SECTION 8. Section 17.05a.090 (Zoning Status of Annexing Properties) of Chapter 17.05a (Use Classifications) shall be amended as follows:
§ 17.05a.090 Zoning Status of Annexing Properties.
A. If a pre-zoning map for an area has been adopted, then such annexing property contained therein shall, upon becoming a part of the city City, possess the classification indicated on the detailed pre-zoning map, and such portions of the 8 detailed pre-zoning map governing properties so annexed shall become a part of the city’s City's zoning map and thereafter be subject to all of the provisions of this title Title.
B. If a pre-zoning map for an area has not been adopted, then such area shall, upon annexation, be deemed to be temporarily zoned as R-1 under this title until said land is classified after being processed as an amendment to the zoning map.

SECTION 20 Chapter 17.05h (Mixed-use Overlay) shall be amended as follows:
§ 17.05h.010 Purpose.
Mixed-use projects are characterized by the integration of compatible residential and commercial uses, whereby such uses share the same building or lot. Such mixed-use projects are intended to allow greater flexibility of development alternatives, especially attractive, mixed-income higher-density residential development, in appropriate areas of the city City.
Mixed-use developments can be horizontally or vertically integrated. Horizontal mixeduse development consists of two or more attached or detached buildings of differing use categories (e.g., residential and commercial) within the same project area. Such buildings do not need to be on the same parcel or even on the same block, but must be within the same project area. Vertical mixed-use development consists of one or more different uses placed over another use within the same building (e.g., residential over commercial). A project area shall encompass a single parcel or multiple parcels, planned and constructed as one, coordinated, and unified project.
More specifically, the intent of the mixed use overlay zone Mixed-use Overlay (MUO) is to accomplish the following objectives:
17 A. Encourage mixed-use, mixed-income projects that combine residential and nonresidential uses in the same building or building site area to enhance and build upon the city's City's commercial/ and retail base; B. Ensure additional housing options for people, including, but not limited to, young professionals and older people, who want to live near their workplace and/or, retail, and other nonresidential uses;
C. Reduce the need for automobile travel by promoting transit-oriented residential and commercial uses in close proximity to Metro stations; D. Ensure on-site compatibility of residential and commercial uses; E. Ensure compatibility of mixed-use projects with surrounding uses and development patterns.
§ 17.05h.020 Superimposed Nature of Mixed-use Overlay zone.
The mixed use overlay zone MUO shall be in the nature of an overlay zone applicable to the C-1 (freeway commercial/mixed use), C-2 (local commercial) C-R (Regional Commercial) and C-3 (general commercial General Commercial) zoning districts. Land classified in the mixed use overlay zone MUO shall also be classified in one or more underlying zones. Property so classified shall be identified on the zoning map by a combination of a symbol for the underlying zone followed by a symbol for the mixed use overlay zone MUO (e.g., C-13/MU).
The regulations set forth in these sections of the mixed use overlay zone MUO shall be in addition to those regulations set forth in the underlying zone. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of the mixed use overlay zone MUO and the provisions of the underlying zone, the provisions of the mixed use overlay zone MUO shall prevail. If the mixed use overlay zone MUO is silent in relation to any development standard, the development standard identified in the underlying zone shall prevail. § 17.05h.030 Special Focus Areas.
With application of the mixed use overlay zone MUO, the city City seeks to take advantage of development opportunities in key areas of the city City, each of which face unique opportunities and constraints.
A. Hawthorne Boulevard Corridor North—parcels bounded by I-105 Freeway on the north, Imperial Highway on the south, Acacia Avenue on the east, and Burin Avenue on the west. The residential uses shall be vertically mixed atop ground floor retail uses. The retail uses shall be convenience shopping oriented to 18 serving the residents of the development, nearby residential areas, as well as commuters using the Metro station.

The westerly portion of the area, adjacent to Aviation Boulevard, is more suitable to a mix of residential and office uses.
D. Imperial Highway/ and Kornblum Avenue—parcel bounded by Imperial Highway on the north, Inglewood city line on the south and the east, and Kornblum Avenue on the west. The vacant site was formerly a mobile home park. The residential uses shall be vertically mixed atop ground floor retail adjacent to Imperial Highway, with retail uses abutting Imperial Highway and residential uses to the south.

29 § 17.05h.080 Design Principles.
The design principles set forth in this section shall be used to review site plans, building plans and use permits for all projects proposed on land within the mixed use overlay zone MUO, including uses which do not require a conditional use permit. These design principles aim to promote visual interest and pedestrian activity between the street and adjacent building. This transitional space is defined by the site design, architecture, and streetscape elements.
A. Site Design. The following principles intend to establish an engaging street edge defined by the orientation and placement of buildings fronting collector and arterial streets.
1. Building Orientation. Buildings and major pedestrian entrances shall be oriented towards centers of activity, such as the primary street frontage or public plazas:
a. All primary ground-floor common entries or individual dwelling unit entries fronting on streets shall be oriented to the street, not to the interior or to a parking lot. Entrances at building corners may be used to satisfy this requirement.
2. Building Façade Facade. The building placement should enforce a continuous street edge establishing a strong pedestrian corridor. However, long, unarticulated building façades facades shall be eliminated with variation in setbacks:
a. Variable Setbacks. Setbacks shall vary by a minimum of one foot each twenty-five 25 feet in order to break up long, unarticulated building façades facades;
b. In addition to creating visual interest, building setbacks shall establish space for pedestrian plazas, courtyards, or outside dining areas. Setbacks should not generate unusable or dead space.
3. Setback Encroachments. Outdoor seating for restaurants and similar uses may encroach into the street set-back as permitted by the city City under an approved encroachment permit.
4. Pedestrian circulation shall be continuous and provide connectivity between appropriate uses:
a. Pedestrian pathways shall connect to appropriate off-site uses, including off-site transit stops and parking;
b. Pedestrian pathways shall be clearly marked;
30 c. Street-side façades facades may be divided to form pedestrian spaces such as public plazas, private pocket parks, outdoor dining, and other pedestrian-oriented amenities to promote pedestrian activity.
5. Vehicular circulation shall be designed to serve uses appropriately and employ traffic calming measures to ensure pedestrian safety:
a. Maximize access and connectivity while minimizing curb cuts to major roadways;
b. Alleyways shall be designed to ensure safe and continuous traffic flow, minimizing direct connections to public roadways; c. Prevent bypass alternate routes to minimize traffic conflicts and enhance pedestrian circulation;
d. Use of bulb-outs and other traffic calming measures are encouraged.
B. Architecture. The following principles intend to promote quality design appearance and visual interest.
1. Architectural Styles and Scale. Building design shall incorporate an architectural style and scale that is compatible with nearby uses, provided such uses are similar to uses permitted by this chapter. Architectural details may draw upon locally historic buildings or other nearby features that contribute to the aesthetic ambience of the immediate area.
2. Siding Materials. Plain concrete block, plain concrete, plywood, sheet pressboard, vinyl, or similar siding materials are strongly discouraged.
Siding shall be of high-quality materials that weather well over time.
Materials and colors shall be compatible with the architectural style.
3. Color. Colors shall include a base color and accent colors. Generally, a minimum of three complementary colors should be used for each building.
Color schemes should be selected with a harmonious range of accent materials and shall comply with the city approved colors.
4. Corner Buildings. Buildings at corners of intersections shall receive special architectural treatment to enhance the pedestrian experience, such as building cut-offs and corner entrances with additional architectural detail.
5. Building Façade Facade. Street-facing façades shall be visually open to major streets and architecturally enhanced through the use of the architectural features.
6. Architectural features are encouraged to create visual interest. 31 7. Window placement shall reflect the desired exposure appropriate for the respective use:
a. For commercial uses, large windows shall front onto major pedestrian throughways to promote exposure and visibility; b. For residential uses, windows shall face away from loading areas, docks, and trash storage areas. In the occasion that residential windows face one another, windows should be offset to maximize privacy.
C. Streetscape. The following streetscape elements augment architectural styles of the area and promote pedestrian activity. These interactive elements enhance usable pedestrian space and decrease the possibility of dead space.
1. Landscaping is required and shall be well maintained and complement the adjacent project:
a. Landscaping shall be selected at a scale that is consistent with the building site;
b. Street landscaping shall be appropriate for sidewalk environments to limit the potential of root systems to affect the adjacent sidewalks;
c. Landscaping shall not interfere with pedestrian movement or impede with the visibility of business and signage.
2. Furniture. Benches, seating areas, kiosks, and shade structures should be incorporated as amenities for pedestrians:
a. Furnishings shall be placed where pedestrian traffic, viewsheds, or building ingress and egress will not be obstructed;
b. Furnishings shall be constructed of durable, high quality materials that can withstand the elements without showing wear;
c. Furniture design shall be complementary to the architectural styles of the area.
3. Public art and water features shall be used to highlight public spaces and create points of interest for each project. These streetscape elements should be well maintained and used as accent features.
4. Paving Materials. Use of distinctive paving treatments is encouraged to give visual cues to users and emphasize different areas within the streetscape and public spaces. Painted paving surfaces should not be used except to indicate traffic lanes or parking spaces. 32 5. Walls, fences, and gates should be used to identify separate areas and provide needed privacy and security:
a. Although necessary in certain locations, solid walls should only be used when absolutely necessary;
b. Walls, fences, and gates should appear consistent in style and material, complementing the surrounding architectural styles; c. Landscaping elements shall be densely planted and layered to provide screening. Vines and trellises are encouraged to help soften hard edges and screen walls from view.

RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council open and close public hearing and approve Resolution 8610.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of the City of Hawthorne 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) is to comply with Water Code Section 10610 through 10657 of the Urban Water Management Planning Act, which was adopted through Assembly Bill 797 in 1984. This act requires that "every urban water supplier providing water for municipal purposes to more than 3,000 customers, or supplying more than 3,--- acre-foot of water annually, prepare and adopt, in accordance with prescribed requirements, an Urban Water Management Plan.
Every five years, the UWMP must be updated and submitted to the California State Department of Water Resources to be in compliance with the Urban Water Management Planning Act. The UWMP includes a general discussion of the City of Hawthorne’s history, along with an overview of demographics, water supply sources, water demand, reliability, and water shortage contingency planning, and demand-side management (conservation) measures. The City encourages the community to participate in all its water management planning efforts. Notices were published by California Water Service. No written communications were received. A public hearing regarding the proposed 2025 UMWP will be held on June 9, 2026, as required by law.
The 2025 UWMP describes the service area of the supplier, identifies and quantifies the existing and planned water supply and demand; describes the reliability of water supply and vulnerability to seasonal or climatic shortages; describes the opportunities for exchange or transfer of water and the water quality in the suppliers' service area; discusses the suppliers water conservation approach and each of the best management practices that are being implemented.
The 2025 UMWP is an update to the City's last UMWP adopted on June 22, 2021. It includes the changes that have occurred in the City for the last five years, and provides new information required by the Urban Water Management Planning Act. Once adopted, the 2025 UMWP must be mailed to the California State Department of Water Resources within 30 days. A hard copy of the Hawthorne 2025 UMWP is available at the City of Hawthorne City Clerk's office.

Chapter 1
Introduction and Overview
This chapter discusses the importance and uses of this 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP or Plan), the relationship of this Plan to the California Water Code (CWC), the relationship of this Plan to other local and regional planning efforts, and how this Plan is organized and developed in general accordance with the California Department of Water Resources’ (DWR’s) 2025 UWMP Guidebook. Specifically, this chapter contains the following sections:
1.1 Background and Purpose
1.2 Urban Water Management Planning and the California Water Code
1.3 Relationship to Other Planning Efforts
1.4 Plan Organization
1.5 Demonstration of Consistency with the Delta Plan for Participants in Covered Actions
1.6 Lay Description
Background and Purpose
California Water Service (Cal Water) served as the System Operator for the City of Hawthorne Public Water System (Hawthorne System) during the creation of the 2025 UWMP and Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP). As System Operator, Cal Water developed the plans in accordance with DWR’s requirements, and the 2025 UWMP Guidebook. 1 Cal Water system operations will end on August 1, 2026, at which time a new System Operator for the City of Hawthorne (City) is expected to take over operations.
This UWMP is a foundational document and source of information of the City’s historical and projected water demands, water supplies, supply reliability and potential vulnerabilities, water shortage contingency planning, and demand management programs. Among other things, it is used as:
• A long-range planning document for water supply and system planning; and • A source for data on population, housing, water demands, water supplies, and capital improvement projects used in:

o Regional water resource management plans prepared by wholesale water suppliers and other regional planning authorities (as applicable), o General Plans prepared by cities and counties, and
o Statewide and broad regional water resource plans prepared by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), or other state agencies.
The City’s last UWMP was completed in 2021, referred to herein as the “2020 UWMP.” This Plan is an update to the 2020 UWMP and carries forward information from that plan that remains current and relevant, and provides additional information as required by subsequent amendments to the UWMP Act (CWC §10610 – 10657). Although this Plan is an update to the 2020 UWMP, it was developed to be a self-contained, stand-alone document and does not require readers to reference information contained in previous UWMP updates.
Urban Water Management Planning and the California Water Code The UWMP Act requires urban water suppliers to prepare a UWMP every five years and to submit this plan to the DWR, the California State Library, and any city or county within which the supplier provides water supplies. All urban water suppliers, either publicly or privately owned, providing water for municipal purposes either directly or indirectly to more than 3,000 customers or supplying more than 3,000 acre-feet (AF) annually are required to prepare a UWMP (CWC §10617). For the purposes of the Plan, the terms “customer” and “connections” are used interchangeably.
The UWMP Act was enacted in 1983. Over the years it has been amended in response to water resource challenges and planning imperatives confronting California. A significant amendment was made in 2009 as a result of the governor’s call for a statewide 20 percent reduction in urban water use by 2020, referred to as “20x2020,” the Water Conservation Act of 2009, and “Senate Bill (SB) X7-7.” This amendment required urban retail water suppliers to establish water use targets for 2015 and 2020 that would result in statewide water savings of 20 percent by 2020.
Beginning in 2016, urban retail water suppliers were required to comply with the water conservation requirements in SB X7-7 in order to be eligible for state water grants or loans.
Chapter 5 of this Plan contains the data and calculations used to determine compliance with these requirements.
In 2016, Governor Brown signed Executive Order (EO) B-37-16 Making Conservation a California Way of Life (MCCWL) regulation and subsequently SB 606 and Assembly Bill (AB) 1668 were passed in 2018. A substantial revision to the UWMP Act was made through SB 606 and AB 1668.
These changes include, among other things: (1) additional requirements for Water Shortage Contingency Plans [WSCPs] (CWC §10640), (2) requirements for urban water suppliersto conduct a drought risk assessments part of their future UWMPs to assess water supply reliability for a 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

period of drought lasting five consecutive water years (WYs; CWC §10635(b)), and (3) conduct annual water supply and demand assessments to determine water supply reliability for the current year and one dry year (CWC §10632(a)). These elements are included in Chapter 7 and Chapter 8 of this Plan. Additionally, SB 606 and AB 1668 set new requirements for urban water agencies to continue to increase water efficiency beyond SB X7-7. Beginning in 2024, agencies were required to report an annual Urban Water Use Objective (UWUO) to the DWR as part of their Annual Water Use Reports.
The UWMP Act contains numerous other requirements that UWMPs must satisfy. Appendix A to this Plan lists each of these requirements and where in the Plan they are addressed.
Relationship to Other Planning Efforts
This Plan provides information specific to water management and planning by the City and the System Operator. However, water management does not happen in isolation; there are other planning processes that integrate with the UWMP to accomplish urban planning. Some of these relevant planning documentsinclude relevant city and county General Plans, Water Master Plans, Recycled Water Master Plans, integrated resource plans, Integrated Regional Water Management Plans, and others.
This Plan is informed by and helps to inform these other planning efforts. In particular, this Plan utilizes information contained in city and county General Plans and local and regional water resource plans to the extent data from these plans are applicable and available.
Plan Organization
The organization of this Plan follows the same sequence as outlined in the 2025 UWMP Guidebook.

Pursuant to CWC §10644(a)(2), this Plan utilizes the standardized forms, tables, and displays developed by DWR for the reporting of water use and supply information required by the UWMP Act. This Plan also includes additional tables, figures, and maps to augment the set developed by DWR, as appropriate. The table headers indicate if the table is part of DWR’s standardized set of submittal tables.
Demonstration of Consistency with the Delta Plan for Participants in Covered Actions
Although not required by the UWMP Act, in the 2025 UWMP Guidebook, 3 DWR recommends
that all suppliers that are participating in, or may participate in, receiving water from a proposed project that is considered a “covered action” under the Delta Plan—such as a (1) multiyear water transfer; (2) conveyance facility; or (3) new diversion that involves transferring water through, exporting water from, or using water in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Delta)—provide information in their UWMP to demonstrate consistency with the Delta Plan policy WR P1, Reduce Reliance on the Delta Through Improved Regional Water Self-Reliance (California Code of Regulations, Title 23, Section 5003).
The City does not have any independent covered actions. The City purchases imported water from the West Basin Municipal Water District (WBMWD). The WBMWD is one of the 26 member agencies of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD), which imports water through either the Colorado River Aqueduct, which is owned by MWD, or the California Aqueduct, a facility of the State Water Project (SWP), which is owned and operated by the DWR.
Discussion of regional self-reliance and reduced reliance on water supplies from the Delta Watershed is available in Appendix 10 of MWD’s Draft 2025 UWMP. 4 3 ibid

Lay Description
This 2025 UWMP is prepared for the City, which serves drinking water to a population of approximately 46,039 within the City of Hawthorne. The City meets the definition of an urban water supplier. Therefore, in accordance with CWC§10621(f), the City is obligated to develop and submit a UWMP to DWR.
This UWMP serves as a foundational planning document and includes descriptions of historical and projected water demands, water supplies, and the resulting reliability during a set of defined water supply conditions over a 20-year planning horizon. This document also describes the actions the System Operator is taking to promote water conservation, both by the System Operator itself and by its customers (referred to as “demand management measures”), and includes a plan to address potential water supply shortages such as drought or other impacts to supply availability (the “Water Shortage Contingency Plan”, included as Appendix F). This UWMP is updated every five years in accordance with state requirements under the UWMP Act and Amendments (Division 6 Part 2.6 of the California Water Code [CWC] §10610 – 10656). Past plans developed for the City are available on the DWR Water Use Efficiency Data Portal website:
https://wuedata.water.ca.gov/.
This document includes 10 chapters, which are summarized below pursuant to the requirements of the CWC §10630.5.
Chapter 1- Introduction and Overview
This chapter presents the background and purpose of the UWMP, identifies the Plan organization, and provides this lay description overview of the document. For agencies that rely on water from the Delta, this section also discusses and demonstrates consistency with the Delta Plan by the Delta Stewardship Council. The City’s source of water supply is a combination of groundwater, recycled water, and imported purchased water from West Basin Municipal Water District (WBMWD), which is a member agency of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD). Discussion of regional self-reliance and reduced reliance on water supplies from the Delta Watershed is available in Appendix 10 of MWD’s Draft 2025 UWMP. CWC § 10630.5
Each plan shall include a simple lay description of how much water the agency has on a reliable basis, how much it needs for the foreseeable future, what the agency’s strategy is for meeting its water needs, the challenges facing the agency, and any other information necessary to provide a general understanding of the agency’s plan. 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

Chapter 2 - Plan Preparation
This chapter discusses key structural aspects related to the preparation of the UWMP, and describes the coordination and outreach conducted as part of the preparation of the Plan, including coordination with local agencies and other community organizations (i.e., WBMWD, City of Hawthorne, and County of Los Angeles), and the public.
Chapter 3 - System Description
This chapter provides a description of the City’s water system and the service area, including information related to the climate, population, and demographics. The Hawthorne System is located in Los Angeles County. Within the service area, the Hawthorne System has a population of approximately 46,039 and has a moderate climate characterized by warm summers and mild winters. The majority of the 12.9 inches of average annual precipitation falls between October and May. The service area includes a mixture of low, medium, and high density residential, mixed use, commercial, light and heavy industrial, public facilities, and parks/open space. All water customers are considered urban (i.e., non-agricultural water users).
Chapter 4 - Water Use Characterization
This chapter provides a description and quantifies the City’s current and projected demands through the year 2050. The City provides drinking water (also referred to as “potable water”) and recycled water (also referred to as “non-potable water”) to customers. Water demands refer not only to the water used by customers, but also includes the water used as part of the system’s maintenance and operation, as well as unavoidable losses inherent in the operation of a water distribution system. Water demand within the Hawthorne System was 3,742 acre-feet per year (AFY) in 2025. Although population is anticipated to increase, taking into account historical water use, climatic variability, and other assumptions, water demand within the Hawthorne System is projected to decrease to 3,447 AFY in 2050, a change of 5.7 percent compared to 2025. In dry year periods, water demands are expected to be somewhat higher, potentially up to 3,533 AFY in 2050 during an extended five-year drought.
Chapter 5 - SB X7-7 Baseline and Targets
In this chapter, the City demonstrates compliance with its per capita water use target for the year 2020. The Water Conservation Act of 2009 (Senate Bill X7-7) was enacted in November 2009 and requires the state of California to achieve a 20 percent reduction in urban per capita water use by December 31, 2020. In order to achieve this, each urban retail water supplier was required to establish water use targets for 2015 and 2020 using methodologies established by DWR. The City wasin compliance with its 2020 water use target of 142 gallons per capita per day (GPCD), having reduced its water use in 2020 to 70 GPCD. The City continues to meet its 2020 Target in 2025. 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

Chapter 6 - Water Supply Characterization
This chapter presents an analysis of the City’s water supplies, as well as an estimate of waterrelated energy-consumption. The intent of this chapter is to present a comprehensive overview of the City’s water supplies, estimate the volume of available supplies over the UWMP planning horizon, and assess the sufficiency of the City’s supplies to meet projected demands under “normal” hydrologic conditions.
The water supply for the City is a combination of the following sources:
• Purchased imported water from the WBMWD (a secondary wholesale water agency, purchasing the water from MWD and reselling it to the City). • Groundwater pumped from the adjudicated West Coast Basin (DWR Basin No. 4-011.03) of the Coastal Plain of Los Angeles Basin. The West Coast Basin is an adjudicated groundwater basin with a total annual Allowed Pumping Allocation (APA) of 217,367 acrefeet (AF). The City of Hawthorne leasesthe water right of 1,882 AFY to the current System Operator.
• Recycled wastewater produced by the WBMWD.
Based on all available information, the combination of purchased imported water, groundwater, and recycled water supplies is expected to be sufficient to support the City’s projected water demand through 2050.
Calculating and reporting of water system energy intensity is also required for the 2025 UWMPs.
Energy intensity is defined as the net energy used for water treatment, pumping, conveyance, and distribution for all water entering the distribution system, and does not include the energy used to treat wastewater. The energy intensity for the Hawthorne System is estimated to be 172 kilowatt hours per acre-foot of water (kWh/AF).
Chapter 7 - Water Supply Reliability Assessment
This chapter assesses the reliability of the Hawthorne City’s water supplies, with a specific focus on potential constraints such as purchased supply availability, water quality, and climate change.
The intent of this chapter is to identify any potential constraints that could affect the reliability of the City’s supply (such as drought conditions) to support the System Operator’s planning efforts to ensure that its customers are well served. Water service reliability is assessed during normal, single dry-year, and multiple dry-year hydrologic conditions. Based on this analysis, the System Operator expects the available supplies to be sufficient to meet projected demands in all hydrologic conditions, including a five-year drought period, and considering the impacts of climate change. Further, potential water quality issues are not expected to affect the quality of water served to the City’s customers, as water quality is routinely monitored and the System 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

Operator is able to make all appropriate adjustments to its treatment and distribution system to ensure only high-quality drinking water is served.
Chapter 8 - Water Shortage Contingency Planning
This chapter describes the WSCP for the City. The WSCP serves as a standalone document to be engaged in the case of a water shortage event, such as a drought or supply interruption, and defines specific policies and actions that will be implemented at various shortage level scenarios (e.g., implementing customer water budgets and surcharges, or restricting landscape irrigation to specific days and/or times). Consistent with DWR requirements, the WSCP includes six water Shortage Levels to address shortage conditions ranging from up to 10 percent to greater than 50 percent shortage.
Chapter 9 - Demand Management Measures
This chapter includes descriptions of past and planned conservation programs implemented by the current System Operator within each demand management measure (DMM) category outlined in the UWMP Act, specifically: (1) water waste prevention ordinances, (2) metering, (3) conservation pricing, (4) public education and outreach, (5) distribution system water loss management, (6) water conservation program coordination and staffing support, and (7) “other” DMMs. The current System Operator has developed a suite of conservation programs and policies, which address each DMM category.
Chapter 10 - Plan Adoption, Submittal, and Implementation This chapter provides information on a public hearing, the adoption process for the UWMP and WSCP, the adopted UWMP and WSCP submittal process, Plan implementation, and the process for amending the adopted UWMP and WSCP. Prior to adopting the Plan, the City of Hawthrone held a formal public hearing to present information on its UWMP and WSCP on May 26, 2026, 6:00 PM. This UWMP and the corresponding WSCP were submitted to DWR within 30 days of adoption and by the July 1, 2026 deadline.

2.1 Public Water Systems
The System Operator operates the one Public Water System (PWS) listed in Table 2-1. Public Water Systems provide drinking water for human consumption and are regulated by the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), Division of Drinking Water. The SWRCB requires that water agencies report water usage and other relevant PWS information via the electronic Annual Reports to the Drinking Water Program (eARDWP). These data are used by the state to determine, among other things, whether an urban retail water supplier has reached the threshold (3,000 or more connections or 3,000 acre-feet of water supplied) for submitting a UWMP. For the purposes of the Plan, the terms “customer” and “connections” are used interchangeably. In 2025, the City provided water through 6,226 connections and served 4,022 AF of water (Table 2-1). The City is therefore subject to the requirements of the UWMP Act. 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

2.2 Regional Planning
Regional planning can deliver mutually beneficial solutions to all agencies involved by reducing costs for the individual agency, assessing water resources at the appropriate geographic scale, and allowing for solutions that cross jurisdictional boundaries. In the Hawthorne System’sregion, groundwater resources are conjunctively managed with retail water suppliers by the Water Replenishment District of Southern California (WRD) which was created in 1959, largely out of cooperation between the West Coast Basin Water Association and the Central Basin Water Association, with the directive to facilitate artificial replenishment of groundwater as a means of eliminating overdraft and halting seawater intrusion. Regional imported water supplies are conjunctively managed by West Basin Municipal Water District (WBMWD) and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD). The System Operator coordinates the City’s service area (also referred to herein as the “Hawthorne System”) urban water management planning and its water resources planning with each of these entities on behalf of the City.
2.3 Individual or Regional Planning and Compliance (Regional Alliance) Urban water suppliers may elect to prepare individual or regional UWMPs. The System Operator has elected to prepare an individual UWMP (see Table 2-2).
This Plan has been prepared in general accordance with the format suggested in the California Department of Water Resources’ (DWR’s) 2025 UWMP Guidebook. Text from the UWMP Act has been included in text boxes at the beginning of relevant chapters of this UWMP. The information presented in the respective UWMP chapters, and the associated text, figures, and charts are collectively intended to fulfill the requirements of that sub-section of the UWMP Act. To the extent practicable, supporting documentation has also been provided in Appendix A through 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

2.4 Plan Preparation, Standard Units, and Basis for Reporting Per California Water Code (CWC) §10617, the City is an urban water supplier providing water for municipal purposes to more than 3,000 connections or supplying more than 3,000 acre-feet of water annually. The City is therefore obligated under CWC §10621(f) to develop and submit a UWMP to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) by July 1, 2026. The City is an urban retail water supplier as defined by CWC §10608.12 (t) and §10617, see Table 2-3. The City is not a wholesale water supplier.
Annual volumes of water reported in this UWMP are measured in AF and are reported on a calendar year basis (Table 2-3). Water use and planning data reported in this UWMP use calendar year 2025 as the selected twelve-month reporting period, consistent with the reporting period options provided in the 2025 UWMP Guidebook.
CWC § 10608.12 (t)
“Urban retail water supplier” means a water supplier, either publicly or privately owned, that directly provides potable municipal water to more than 3,000 end users or that supplies more than 3,000 acre-feet of potable water annually at retail for municipal purposes. CWC § 10617
“Urban water supplier” means a supplier, either publicly or privately owned, providing water for municipal purposes either directly or indirectly to more than 3,000 customers or supplying more than 3,000 acre-feet of water annually. An urban water supplier includes a supplier or contractor for water, regardless of the basis of right, which distributes or sells for ultimate resale to customers. This part applies only to water supplied from public water systems subject to Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 116275) of Part 12 of Division 104 of the Health and Safety Code.
CWC § 10621 (a)
Each urban water supplier shall update its plan at least once every five years on or before July 1, in years ending in six and one, incorporating updated and new information from the five years preceding each update.

System Description
This chapter provides a description of the City of Hawthorne’s (City’s) water system and service area (also referred to herein as the “Hawthorne System”), including climate, population, demographics, and land uses to help in understanding various elements of water supply and demand. This chapter includes the following sections:
3.1 General Description
3.2 Service Area Boundary Map
3.3 Service Area Climate
3.4 Service Area Population and Demographics
3.5 Land Uses within Service Area
General Description
The City’s water supply is a mix of local groundwater and imported surface water purchased from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD). In total, the System Operator currently operates four wells, six storage tanks, four booster pumps, and 56.7 miles of pipeline delivering approximately 3.5 million gallons of water daily. The System Operator delivers water to residential, commercial, industrial, and governmental customers. Residential customers account for most of the City’s service connections and 72 percent of its water uses. Nonresidential water uses account for 22 percent of total demand and distribution system losses account for the remaining amount.
CWC § 10631 (a)
A plan shall be adopted in accordance with this chapter that shall do all of the following:
Describe the service area of the supplier, including current and projected population, climate, and other social, economic, and demographic factors affecting the supplier’s water management planning. The projected population estimates shall be based upon data from the state, regional, or local service agency population projections within the service area of the urban water supplier and shall be in five-year increments to 20 years or as far as data is available. The description shall include the current and projected land uses within the existing or anticipated service area affecting the supplier’s water management planning. Urban water suppliers shall coordinate with local or regional land use authorities to determine the most appropriate land use information, including, where appropriate, land use information obtained from local or regional land use authorities, as developed pursuant to Article 5 (commencing with Section 65300) of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code.

Service Area Boundary Map
Figure 3-1 shows the location of the Hawthorne System and its current service area boundaries.
The Hawthorne System is located in the southwestern portion of the Los Angeles coastal plain, approximately 20 miles from downtown Los Angeles. The service area encompasses approximately three square miles, covering about half of the City of Hawthorne.
The system is bounded on the north by the communities of Lennox and Inglewood; on the east and west by unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County and the City of Gardena; and on the south by the City of Lawndale. Major transportation corridors serving the Hawthorne System include the San Diego Freeway (Interstate 405), which runs west of the service area, and the Century Freeway (Interstate 105), which runs north of the Hawthorne System. El Segundo Boulevard and Hawthorne Boulevard intersect near the center of the service area. Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is located less than four miles northwest of the Hawthorne System.
The Hawthorne System is situated on alluvial deposits adjacent to the beaches of Santa Monica Bay. The primary geologic feature in the region is the Newport–Inglewood Fault system, which lies along the eastern boundary of the Hawthorne System and has been identified as one of the most significant seismic hazards in the Los Angeles area. A major earthquake on this fault could disrupt water service within the Hawthorne System.

are negligible. On average, the Hawthorne System receives 12.9 inches of rainfall annually.
Maximum daily air temperature averages 76 degrees Fahrenheit during the summer months. In the winter, it averages 66 degrees Fahrenheit.
Figure 3-2. 30-Year Normals, Precipitation and Maximum Daily Air Temperature Rainfall varies significantly from year-to-year, as it does in most of California.6 The standard deviation in annual rainfall is 5.3 inches, or about 43 percent of the average.7 Consecutive years of below average rainfall are fairly common. Since 1895, runs of below average rainfall lasting three or more years have occurred ten times and runs lasting five or more years have occurred three times. The longest run of below average rainfall lasted seven years. The most recent long running dry period occurred from 2011 through 2016. Despite the high variability, there is no statistically significant long-term trend in average annual rainfall, though there is evidence that the variance of annual rainfall has increased in recent time periods.
In contrast, temperatures in the Hawthorne System have been steadily warming. Since 1895, the average daily temperature has increased at a rate of approximately 0.04 degrees Fahrenheit per year. Mean annual temperature for the 2015–2024 period was 5.1 degrees Fahrenheit higher than for the corresponding 10-year period a century earlier. Although temperatures have risen, the variance in annual temperatures has remained stable over time. 8 6 Based on a review of annual weather data from the Oregon State PRISM dataset for 1895 to 2024. Downloaded from: https://prism.oregonstate.edu/explorer/. 7 The standard deviation measures the typical, or average, year-to-year variation in annual rainfall. 8 Because annual temperature exhibits a statistically significant upward trend, it is necessary to apply variance stability tests to the detrended temperature series. This ensures that the test evaluates stability in the variance around the trend, rather than confounding shifts in the mean with changes in variability. 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

Service Area Population and Demographics
The System Operator estimates that the Hawthorne System’sservice area population was 46,039 in 2025.
Population estimates are developed using U.S. Census Block population counts from the decennial Census. These counts are converted to average population per single-family and multifamily service, which are then applied to annual service counts for the years between decennial censuses. This approach is similar to the method used in the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) Population Tool, and comparisons between the two methods show that resulting population estimates typically differ by less than one percent. 9 Current and projected service area populations are shown in Table 3-1. Population projections are based primarily on population, housing, and employment forecasts through 2050 for Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZ) overlaying the Hawthorne System prepared by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). These projections are supplemented with population and service growth estimates from Water Supply Assessments (WSAs) for new developments requesting water service. Between 2025 and 2050, the service area population is projected to grow at an average rate of approximately 0.21 percent per year.

Demographics for City of Hawthorne are summarized in Table 3-2. These data are from the U.S.
Census American Community Survey 2023 5-Year Estimates. Relative to the rest of California, the population in the City of Hawthorne is younger and more racially diverse. Educational attainment is lower than for the state as a whole, as is median household income.
The stock of housing in the City of Hawthorne is older than for California as a whole.
Approximately 85 percent of homes were built before 1990 compared to 72 percent for all of California. Homes built after 1990 are more likely to have plumbing fixtures that are compliant with state and federal water and energy efficiency standards. 9 California Water Service, 2016. 2015 Urban Water Management Plan: Hawthorne District, dated June 2016. 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

The City’s population and service growth projections are tied to SCAG TAZ level projections of population, housing, and employment. These projections, in turn, are developed by SCAG through detailed land use, demographic, and transportation modeling. This modeling covers the entirety of the SCAG region which spans six counties (Imperial, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura) and 191 cities. The SCAG modeling framework is depicted in Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3. SCAG Integrated Modeling and Forecasting Framework Within this integrated modeling and forecasting system, SCAG’s Scenario Planning Model (SPM) serves as a conduit between local land use planning information and the SCAG modeling framework by delivering locally vetted data and plans for use in the key SCAG models. This helps to ensure that regional plans are consistent with local data and policy inputs. SCAG works collaboratively with the region’s local jurisdictions to develop the land use inputs that feed into its regional, subarea, and local forecasts.
The SCAG develops socioeconomic estimates and growth projections including population, households, and employment for over 11,000 TAZ units. The population, household, and employment projections used by the System Operator to forecast service area population and service connections tie back to the TAZ growth projections overlying the Hawthorne System. 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

Water Use Characterization
This chapter provides a description and quantifies the City of Hawthorne’s (City’s) current, and projected water uses through 2050. For the purposes of the Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP or Plan), the terms “water use” and “water demand” are used interchangeably. This chapter is divided into the following subsections:
4.1 Non-Potable Versus Potable Water Use
4.2 Past, Current, and Projected Water Uses by Sector
4.3 Distribution System Water Loss
4.4 Climate Change Considerations
4.5 Coordinating Water Use Projections
Appendix E provides additional information and data related to the development of the water demand projections presented in this chapter.
4.1 Non-Potable Versus Potable Water Use
Potable and non-potable water uses are accounted for separately herein. Potable uses are served by the City’s potable water delivery system. Potable water deliveries comply with Title 22 Drinking Water Standards. Non-potable water uses include recycled and untreated raw water deliveries, such as tertiary treated recycled water or surface or groundwater supplies that do not meet potable drinking water standards. Uses of potable versus non-potable water are clearly distinguished in the tables included in this section of the Plan. 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

4.2 Past, Current, and Projected Water Uses by Sector
Demand within the City’s water service area is measured using water meters that are installed at each customer service connection. Demand within the service area is tracked and reported for the following sectors:
• Single Family Residential: Attached or detached dwelling units that are individually metered.
CWC § 10631 (d) (1) A plan shall be adopted in accordance with this chapter that shall do all of the following:
(d)(1) For an urban retail water supplier, quantify, to the extent records are available, past and current water use, over the same five-year increments described in subdivision (a), and projected water use, based upon information developed pursuant to subdivision (a), identifying the uses among water use sectors, including, but not necessarily limited to, all of the following:
(A) Single-family residential.
(B) Multifamily.
(C) Commercial.
(D) Industrial.
(E) Institutional and governmental.
(F) Landscape.
(G) Sales to other agencies.
(H) Saline water intrusion barriers, groundwater recharge, or conjunctive use, or any combination thereof. (I) Agricultural.
(J) Distribution system water loss (d)(2) The water use projections shall be in the same five-year increments described in subdivision (a).
(d)(4)(A) Water use projections, where available, shall display and account for the water savings estimated to result from adopted codes, standards, ordinances, or transportation and land use plans identified by the urban water supplier, as applicable to the service area.
(d)(4)(B) To the extent that an urban water supplier reports the information described in subparagraph (A), an urban water supplier shall do both of the following: (i) Provide citations of the various codes, standards, ordinances, or transportation and land use plans utilized in making the projections. (ii) Indicate the extent that the water use projections consider savings from codes, standards, ordinances, or transportation and land use plans. Water use projections that do not account for these water savings shall be noted of that fact. 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

• Multi-Family Residential: Three or more dwelling units served by a common water meter. • Commercial: Private enterprise customers other than large industrial customers. • Institutional/Governmental: Institutional and governmental entities such as schools, administrative buildings, and publicly owned parks and landscaping. • Industrial: Large industrial sites and water use.
• Landscape: Water meters classified exclusively for outdoor landscape irrigation. • Other: Includes temporary meters, and miscellaneous customers not listed elsewhere. • Fire Service: Water meters used for fire suppression or system maintenance. These meters typically do not have billed consumption.
Water use categories described in California Water Code (CWC) §10631(d)(1)(G) through (I)— listed below—were not included in the System Operator’s water demand calculations because they do not apply to the system:
• Sales to other agencies;
• Sales for agricultural irrigation; and,
• Saline water intrusion barriers, groundwater recharge, or conjunctive use, or any combination thereof.
4.2.1 Past and Current Water Use
Table 4-1 and Figure 4-1 show water uses from 2021 through 2025 in acre-feet (AF). Total demand in 2025 was 3,742 AF, of which 98 percent was potable water demand and 2.0 percent was non-potable demand, comprised of recycled water for non-residential uses. Discussion of potential future use of recycled water is provided in Section 6.5.Residential customers constitute the majority of the City’s service connections and account for roughly 72 percent of total water use. Non-residential demands, including non-potable, represent about 22 percent, while distribution system losses account for the remaining amount.
Per capita water use in the City’s service area (also referred to herein as the “Hawthorne System”) has declined steadily since the early 2000s. Between 2000 and 2025, water use per person decreased by 27 percent (Figure 4-2), falling from 99 gallons per capita per day (GPCD) to 73 CWC §10631

GPCD. During this period, total demand decreased by approximately 1,300 AF—going from approximately 5,100 AF in 2000 to 3,742 AF today.
Several factors have contributed to this long-term reduction in per capita use. Beginning in 2012, the System Operator tripled conservation program expenditures, expanding customer access to tools and resources that support water-use efficiency. Additionally, state and federal efficiency standards have significantly reduced water use from toilets, showers, clothes washers, and other plumbing fixtures. Lastly, industrial demands decreased significantly starting around 2020.
Collectively, these changes have resulted in a sustained reduction in water use across the Hawthorne System. These trends are expected to continue and are incorporated into the demand projections presented in the next section.

4.2.2 Projected Water Use
Table 4-2 and Figure 4-3 show projected water uses in five-year increments through 2050. Future water uses are projected by combining forecasts of future water services with forecasts of expected water use per service. The forecasts of future services are aligned with the population, housing, and employment forecasts described in Section 3.4. Separate growth rates were developed for residential and non-residential services based on these regional projections.
Between 2025 and 2050, the total number of services is expected to increase from approximately 33,400 to about 36,500, a rate of growth generally consistent with the projected increase in service area population.
Baseline forecasts of expected use per service are calibrated to average usage for the previous three years. The baseline forecasts are then adjusted over the forecast period for expected changes in usage associated with:
1. Passive water savings that are primarily driven by plumbing codes and appliance standards that affect both the turnover of existing appliances and fixtures and the installation of new ones.
2. Active water savings that are driven by the continued implementation of the System Operator’s conservation programs.
3. Behavioral responses to higher water service costs that are driven by customer responsiveness to changes in marginal water prices and projected increases in water service costs over the forecast period.
4. Water loss standards compliance that is translated into a reduction in expected loss per service connection (see Table 4-6).
These adjustments are described in greater detail in the next section.
Despite projected population growth of 0.2 percent per year, total demand is projected to decrease slightly over the forecast period. As shown in Figure 4-4, per capita demand is projected to continue declining, though at a more gradual pace than in previous decades, as many of the most accessible conservation opportunities—such as low-efficiency plumbing fixtures—have already been realized.

4.2.3 Adjustments to Projected Water Uses
As noted in the previous section, four adjustments were made to projected water usage:
1. Passive water savings from plumbing codes and appliance standards.
2. Active water savings from implementation of the System Operator’s conservation programs.
3. Behavioral responses to higher water service cost.
4. Water loss standards compliance.
This section describes the data and methods underlying these adjustments as well as their relative magnitudes.

(1) Passive Water Savings Adjustment
The passive water savings adjustments reflect the effects of the following codes and regulations:
• Assembly Bill (AB) 715 (2007) requires that any toilet or urinal sold or installed in California on or after January 1, 2014, must not exceed flush ratings of 1.28 gallons per flush (gpf) for toilets and 0.5 gpf for urinals. These standards superseded the earlier 1991 limits of 1.6 and 1.0 gpf, respectively. In response to the Governor’s Emergency Drought Response Executive Order B-29-15, the California Energy Commission adopted new urinal standards in April 2015, reducing allowable use to 0.125 gpf—75 percent lower than the AB 715 standard.
• California Appliance Efficiency Regulations (California Code of Regulations [CCR], Title 20, Sections 1601-1609) set a two-tier standard for showerheads: a maximum flow rate of 2.0 gallons per minute (gpm) for models manufactured on or after July 1, 2016, and a maximum flow rate of 1.8 gpm for models manufactured on or after July 1, 2018. • Federal appliance water efficiency standards for residential and commercial clothes washers and dishwashers are established by the U.S. Department of Energy under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act.
• CALGreen Building Code requirements apply to new construction and renovations in California. CALGreen includes prescriptive indoor standards limiting water consumption of plumbing fixtures and fittings, as well as an optional performance path requiring a 20 percent reduction in indoor water use relative to a calculated baseline using CALGreen worksheets.
• SB 407 (2009) mandates that all buildings constructed on or before January 1, 1994, retrofit noncompliant plumbing fixtures to meet current state efficiency standards. The CWC §10631(d)(4)
(A) Water use projections, where available, shall display and account for the water savings estimated to result from adopted codes, standards, ordinances, or transportation and land use plans identified by the urban water supplier, as applicable to the service area.
(B) To the extent that an urban water supplier reports the information described in subparagraph (A), an urban water supplier shall do both of the following:
(i) Provide citations of the various codes, standards, ordinances, or transportation and land use plans utilized in making the projections.
(ii) Indicate the extent that the water use projections consider savings from codes, standards, ordinances, or transportation and land use plans. Water use projections that do not account for these water savings shall be noted of that fact.

law also requires sellers of single-family homes, effective January 1, 2017, to disclose in writing whether required plumbing fixture replacements have been completed. Similar disclosure requirements for multi-family and commercial properties took effect January 1, 2019. SB 837 (2011) reinforced these requirements by adding corresponding disclosure elements to the statutory property transfer disclosure statement. • Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) was updated by the California Water Commission in 2015. MWELO (or a locally adopted equivalent) limits water use for new and rehabilitated landscapes. Under MWELO, the maximum applied water allowance (MAWA) is set at 55 percent of reference evapotranspiration for residential landscapes and 45 percent for commercial landscapes, with exceptions for special uses such as sports fields, parks, or landscapes irrigated with recycled water.
Passive watersavings adjustments were estimated using the Alliance for Water Efficiency’s Water Conservation Tracking Tool (AWE Tracking Tool), a quantitative model widely used by water utilities to assess both active and passive water savings. 10 (2) Active Savings Adjustment
Active savings refer to water savings resulting from the current System Operator’s implementation of water conservation programs, customer education efforts, and the provision of financial incentives (e.g., rebates). The active savings adjustment assumes continuation of the System Operator’s current conservation programs.
A description of the System Operator’s existing and planned conservation programs, also referred to as Demand Management Measures (DMMs), is provided in Chapter 9. Projected compliance with state urban water conservation regulations is addressed in Chapter 5.
As with passive savings, the cumulative effects of these programs on future water demand were estimated using the AWE Tracking Tool.
(3) Customer Price Response Adjustment
The AWE Tracking Tool was also used to calculate customer price response adjustments. The adjustment assumes a sustained 1.0 percent annual rate of increase above general price inflation in the marginal cost of water service.
The AWE Tracking Tool’s default demand elasticities were used to adjust baseline demands over the forecast period in response to the real increases in marginal water service costs. The demand elasticities estimate the expected percentage change in water use given a 1.0 percent inflation10AWE’s Tracking Tool is available at: https://allianceforwaterefficiency.org/resource/water-conservation-trackingtool/ 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

adjusted increase in marginal water cost. For example, an elasticity of -0.1 implies that demand will decrease, on average, by 0.1 percent given a 1.0 percent increase in marginal water cost.
The default elasticities used by the tracking tool are as follows:
• Single-Family: -0.15
• Multi-Family: -0.075
• CII: -0.15
• Irrigation: -0.25
Because higher water service cost encourages conservation program participation, the AWE Tracking Tool’s default elasticities are purposely conservative (i.e., small in magnitude) in order to reduce the likelihood of double counting water savings. (4) Water Loss Standards Compliance
The water loss standards compliance adjustment is based on the difference between average real and apparent water loss, as reported in the City’s most recent three water loss reports (see Table 4-5), and the corresponding standards. Real and apparent water use per service is reduced by these differences in 2028, the deadline for compliance with the standards, if the average loss rates exceed their standards.
(5) Summary of Demand Adjustments
Table 4-4 and Figure 4-5 show the impact of the demand adjustments on projected water use. In total, the adjustments reduce projected 2050 water use by 10 percent relative to the baseline forecast. Most of the reduction is associated with passive conservation water savings followed by the adjustment for water loss standards compliance. The water service cost adjustment incorporates adjustments for increases in both household income and the price of water. The small negative adjustments shown in the table indicate that for the City the increases in demand because of projected increases in household income are larger than the reductions in demand associated with the projected increases in the price of water. 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

4.3 Distribution System Water Loss
4.3.1 Previous Five Years Distribution System Losses
Since 2016, urban retail water suppliers have been required under CWC §10608.34 and CCR §638.1 et seq to quantify distribution system water losses using the American Water Works Association (AWWA) Free Water Audit Software (referred to as “water loss audit reports”). Table 4-5 summarizes the water loss audit reports submitted to the DWR since 2021.

4.3.2 Previous Five Years Distribution System Losses
In 2022, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) adopted new performance standards for urban retail water suppliers that would reduce water loss by nearly 35 percent. Effective starting in 2023, the SWRCB provided a volumetric standard to each urban retail water supplier that sets cost-effective levels of achievable water loss given each water system’s characteristics and budgets. Suppliers will be required to start meeting individual volumetric loss standards over CWC § 10631 (3)
(A) The distribution system water loss shall be quantified for each of the five years preceding the plan update, in accordance with rules adopted pursuant to Section 10608.34. (B) The distribution system water loss quantification shall be reported in accordance with a worksheet approved or developed by the department through a public process. The water loss quantification worksheet shall be based on the water system balance methodology developed by the American Water Works Association. (C) In the plan due July 1, 2021, and in each update thereafter, data shall be included to show whether the urban retail water supplier met the distribution loss standards enacted by the board pursuant to Section 10608.34. 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

a three-year period beginning January 2028. This water loss standard is one component of the Making Conservation a California Way of Life (MCCWL) regulation. 11 CWC §10631 (3)(c) requires that this UWMP demonstrate whether the distribution loss standards enacted by the SWRCB pursuant to CWC §10608.34 have been met. Table 4-6 shows that the City’s current real water loss rate exceeds the real loss standard established by the SWRCB. The System Operator will aim to reach compliance by the 2028 deadline. 11 Information on the MCCWL Regulation accessed from:

4.4 Climate Change Considerations
As discussed in Section 3.3, the Hawthorne System’s climate has been warming. Changing climate can affect water demands, as extreme and higher temperatures can lead to increases in water use. At the same time, adaptive behavior by water users, such as replacing existing landscape with more drought-tolerant landscape material, may partially offset these effects. Pursuant to the CWC requirements and the 2025 UWMP Guidebook, this Plan incorporates climate change considerations into the water demand projections provided in this section.
4.4.1 Characteristic Five-Year Water Use
In accordance with CWC §10635(b)(3), UWMPs must provide a five-year Drought Risk Assessment (see Section 7.5). As a first step, DWR suggests that water suppliers estimate their unconstrained water demand for the next five years (2026-2030). Unconstrained water demand is water use in the absence of drought water use restrictions. These numbers can then be adjusted to estimate the five-years’ cumulative drought effects. The Drought Risk Assessment presented in Section 7.5 incorporates adjustments to unconstrained water demand in accordance with the City’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP). CWC §10630
It is the intention of the Legislature, in enacting this part, to permit levels of water management planning commensurate with the numbers of customers served and the volume of water supplied, while accounting for impacts from climate change.
CWC §10635(b)
(b) Every urban water supplier shall include, as part of its urban water management plan, a drought risk assessment …(and) shall include each of the following … (4) Considerations of the historical drought hydrology, plausible changes on projected supplies and demands under climate change conditions, anticipated regulatory changes, and other locally applicable criteria. CWC § 10635(b)(3)
(b) Every urban water supplier shall include, as part of its urban water management plan, a drought risk assessment for its water service to its customers as part of information considered in developing the demand management measures and water supply projects and programs to be included in the urban water management plan. The urban water supplier may conduct an interim update or updates to this drought risk assessment within the five-year cycle of its urban water management plan update. The drought risk assessment shall include each of the following…
(3) A comparison of the total water supply sources available to the water supplier with the total projected water use for the drought period. (Emphasis added).

As part of the sales forecasting process, the System Operator conducts econometric modeling to evaluate the sensitivity of water sales to variations in weather conditions. These models were used to simulate differences in projected water use under normal weather conditions and under multiple dry-year scenarios. For this analysis, historical weather data from the dry periods of 1929–1934, 1987–1991, and 2013–2016 were applied.
The results indicate that the City’s annual water use under a multiple dry-year scenario would increase by approximately 2.5 percent relative to normal conditions. This increase reflects the sensitivity of City’s demands to climate variability, particularly in spring and autumn transitional irrigation periods.
Projected unconstrained demands for 2026-2030 for normal and multiple-dry-year scenarios are provided in Table 4-7.

4.5 Coordinating Water Use Projections
As described in Chapter 6, the City currently purchases water from WBMWD. The System Operator provided WBMWD with the System Operator’s 2026-2050 water demand projections as part of the preparation of the UWMP.
CWC §10631
(h) An urban water supplier that relies upon a wholesale agency for a source of water shall provide the wholesale agency with water use projections from that agency for that source of water in five-year increments to 20 years or as far as data is available. The wholesale agency shall provide information to the urban water supplier for inclusion in the urban water supplier’s plan that identifies and quantifies, to the extent practicable, the existing and planned sources of water as required by subdivision (b), available from the wholesale agency to the urban water supplier over the same five-year increments, and during various water-year types in accordance with subdivision.

Chapter 5
SB X7-7 Baseline and Targets
Senate Bill (SB) X7-7 mandated a 20 percent reduction in urban per capita water use across California by 2020. To achieve this goal, SB X7-7 required each retail supplier to establish an urban water use target (2020 Target), contributing to the State’s collective efforts. Because the California Water Code (CWC) does not set an end date for reporting progress in meeting the 2020 Target, this section of the Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP or Plan) demonstrates the City of Hawthorne’s (City’s) compliance with SB X7-7 in 2020.
This chapter has the following sections:
5.1 Demonstration of Compliance with the 2020 Target in 2020
5.2 Nexus to State Water Board Urban Water Use Objectives
5.1 Demonstration of Compliance with the 2020 Target in 2020 The City of Hawthorne (City) achieved its 2020 Target in 2020. The data used to calculate the 2020 Target and demonstrate compliance are documented in the City’s 2020 UWMP. Table 5-1 below summarizes the City’s 2020 Target and actual 2020 gallons per capita per day (GPCD), confirming that it met the SB X7-7 compliance requirements.
The City is not a member of a Regional Alliance and this UWMP provides information on the City’s compliance with its SB X7-7 water conservation targets as an individual urban retail water supplier.
CWC §10608.40
Urban water retail suppliers shall report to the department on their progress in meeting their urban water use targets as part of their urban water management plans submitted pursuant to Section 10631. CWC §10608.12
(af) “Urban retail water supplier” means a water supplier, either publicly or privately owned, that directly provides potable municipal water to more than 3,000 end users or that supplies more than 3,000 acre-feet of potable water annually at retail for municipal purposes.

5.2 Nexus to State Water Board Urban Water Use Objectives In July 2024, California adopted the Making Conservation a California Way of Life (MCCWL) regulation, implementing SB 606 and Assembly Bill (AB) 1668 to support long-term water conservation and drought resilience. The regulation establishes annual Urban Water Use Objectives (UWUOs) for urban retail water suppliers and introduces performance measures for commercial, industrial, and institutional (CII) water uses.
The UWUO is a water budget–based framework that is specific to each urban retail water supplier. It consists of the following components: (1) a residential indoor water use standard; (2) CWC § 10609.20
(a) Each urban retail water supplier shall calculate its urban water use objective no later than January 1, 2024, and by January 1 every year thereafter.
(b) The calculation shall be based on the urban retail water supplier’s water use conditions for the previous calendar or fiscal year.
CWC § 10609.22
(a) An urban retail water supplier shall calculate its actual urban water use no later than January 1, 2024, and by January 1 every year thereafter.

a residential outdoor water budget; (3) a CII landscape outdoor water use standard for landscapes served by dedicated irrigation meters; (4) a water loss standard; (5) allowable variances; and (6) a potable reuse bonus. Beginning in 2027, suppliers must annually assess whether the sum of their regulated water uses—residential indoor and outdoor use, dedicated irrigation meter use, and distribution system water loss—is at or below their UWUO. Additionally, starting in 2028, they must demonstrate that real and apparent distribution system water loss rates are less than their corresponding standards, as discussed in Section 4.3. Compliance with the water loss standards is required even if the urban retail water supplier’s total regulated water use is below its UWUO.
The state standards underlying the residential indoor, residential outdoor, and CII outdoor components of the UWUO will become increasingly stringent over time. As a result, compliance is expected to require continued reductions in water use beyond those achieved under the SB X7-7 framework.
12 Urban retail water suppliers are required to report annually to the State Water Resources Control Board on water use relative to their UWUOs. The System Operator submits UWUO compliance data through the Department of Water Resources’ Water Use Efficiency Data portal.
13 Projections of UWUO compliance are not required as part of an Urban Water Management Plan.
Under the baseline demand projections described in Chapter 4, regulated water use in the Hawthorne System is projected to remain below the applicable UWUO requirements through 2050. However, as discussed in Section 4.3, current water loss rates in the Hawthorne System exceed the water loss standards assigned by the state and must be reduced to the level of the standards by 2028 in order to comply with the water loss requirements of the MCCWL regulation.
Based on this evaluation, real water losses in PWS CA1910047 (Hawthorne) will need to be reduced by approximately 22 percent from current levels (see Table 4-6) in order to achieve compliance with the state water loss standards.
12 Under the MCCWL regulation, the SB X7-7 target serves as a backstop on the UWUO. If a supplier’s UWUO exceeds its SB X7-7 target, its UWUO becomes its SB X7-7 target. 13 DWR’s Water Use Efficiency Data Portal: https://wuedata.water.ca.gov/uwuo_plans 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

Purchased Water
The City of Hawthorne (City) currently purchases imported water to meet a portion of demands in its service area (also referred to herein as the “Hawthorne System”) from the West Basin Municipal Water District (WBMWD), which is a member agency of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD).
WBMWD acts as secondary wholesaler, both purchasing water from MWD and reselling it to the City. MWD is a wholesale water provider that serves imported water to 26 member agencies across 5,200 square miles of Southern California. MWD receives imported water conveyed from the Colorado River via the Colorado River Aqueduct (CRA) and the Delta via the State Water Project (SWP), which are described in this section.
Colorado River
The Colorado River originates in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and flows southwest to the Arizona-California border, then continues south into Mexico to the Colorado River Delta and ultimately to the Gulf of California. MWD diverts Colorado River water from Laka Havasu into the CRA, which has a capacity of 1.25 million AFY and is operated by MWD. The CRA then conveys water west to its terminus at Lake Mathews in Riverside County, within MWD’s service area.
MWD is entitled to 550,000 AFY of Colorado River water under contracts with the U.S. Secretary of the Interior, which is considered a portion of California’s 4.4 million AFY senior allocation under the Quantification Settlement Agreement and related agreements. In addition, MWD can access up to 662,000 AFY above California’s 4.4 million AFY if unused water from higher-priority users or conserved water through transfer programs becomes available, as well as 180,000 AFY when surplus flows are available. Additional information on the Colorado River’s future supply reliability, including ongoing drought conditions and new long-term operating plan, is provided in Section 7.1.1.
CWC § 10631 (h) A plan shall be adopted in accordance with this chapter and shall do all of the following:
An urban water supplier that relies upon a wholesale agency for a source of water shall provide the wholesale agency with water use projections from that agency for that source of water in five-year increments to 20 years or as far as data is available. The wholesale agency shall provide information to the urban water supplier for inclusion in the urban water supplier’s plan that identifies and quantifies, to the extent practicable, the existing and planned sources of water as required by subdivision (b), available from the wholesale agency to the urban water supplier over the same five-year increments, and during various water-year types in accordance with subdivision (f). An urban water supplier may rely upon water supply information provided by the wholesale agency in fulfilling the plan informational requirements of subdivisions (b) and (f). 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta Watershed
MWD began receiving water from the Delta via the SWP in the early 1970s. The SWP is owned by the State of California and operated by DWR. It is the largest state-operated water and power system in the nation and consists of a vast network of waterways that move water from Northern California through the Delta to parts of the San Francisco Bay Area, Central Valley, and Southern California.
The SWP captures snowmelt and runoff from the northeastern Sierra Nevada Mountains that has flowed to the Delta via rivers and reservoirs. From the Delta, water is pumped into the SWP to be delivered to SWP Contractors that receive allocations of SWP each year.
MWD is the largest of the 29 state water contractors with a long-term contract for water supply from the SWP with DWR. MWD’s contract allocation is presently 1,911,500 AFY. The SWP water supply contracts set forth the base annual water supply entitlement that a state water contractor may expect to be provided under the contract, as detailed in “Table A” of the contracts. However, actual delivery varies by year, depending on hydrologic conditions, water quality and environmental conditions, state water contractor delivery requests, current reservoir storage, and other operational factors. Additional information on SWP supply reliability is provided in Section 7.1.1.

Groundwater
The City’s groundwater supplies are managed in an effort to coordinate with existing regional conjunctive-use programs and to take advantage of economic incentives and the lease market to the fullest extent possible. The System Operator pumps groundwater from the adjudicated West Coast Basin (California Department of Water Resources [DWR] Basin No. 4-011.03; Basin). Over the past five years, the System Operator relied on groundwater to meet nine to 29 percent of the City’s total demands.
6.2.1 Basin Description and Status
As shown on Figure 6-1, the Hawthorne System overlies the West Coast Basin of the Los Angeles Groundwater Basin. The Basin is bounded on the north by the Ballona Escarpment, an abandoned erosional channel from the Los Angeles River. On the east it is bounded by the NewportInglewood fault zone and on the south and west by the Pacific Ocean and consolidated rocks of the Palos Verdes Hills. The surface of the Basin is crossed in the south by the Los Angeles River through the Dominguez Gap, and the San Gabriel River through the Alamitos Gap, both of which then flow into San Pedro Bay. The Basin is a pressurized aquifer groundwater basin with three CWC § 10631

primary aquifers: the 200-foot Sands, the Silverado Aquifer, and the Lower San Pedro Aquifer.
These aquifers have continuity with the Pacific Ocean in Santa Monica Bay. Overdraft of the Basin was caused by excessive pumping due to population growth and rapid industrialization of the Los Angeles Coastal Plain beginning in the 1930s. This overdraft caused lowering of the piezometric head of the aquifers, which increased pumping cost and resulted in seawater intrusion.
The adjudication of the Basin began in 1945 when California Water Service (Cal Water), along with the City of Torrance and the Palos Verdes Water Company filed a lawsuit in Superior Court, Los Angeles County, to quiet title to the groundwater rights and control pumping in the Basin. As part of the effort to resolve the overdraft condition, the WBMWD was formed in 1947 to distribute supplemental MWD imported water to the major water purveyors. In 1955 when pumpers realized the severity of the overdraft, groundwater pumping was limited under an interim agreement. In 1961, the Court rescinded the interim agreement and signed the West Coast Basin Judgment.
The Water Replenishment District of Southern California (WRD) was created in 1959, largely out of cooperation between the West Coast Basin Water Association and the Central Basin Water Association, with the directive to facilitate artificial replenishment of the two basins as a means of eliminating the overdraft and halting seawater intrusion. To quiet the title to and limit production of the groundwater in West Coast Basin the WRD filed a lawsuit in Superior Court, Los Angeles in 1962 against more than 700 parties. Later that year after a vast majority of the pumpers approved of the approach, the Court adopted an interim agreement to limit the production from the Basin. In 1965, following extensive meetings by the parties to work out a settlement that was supported by pumpers representing over 75 percent of the Basin’s anticipated water rights, the court approved the stipulated judgment for the West Coast Basin.
This judgment established an adjudicated water right for each party, but limited the Allowable Pumping Allocation (APA) to 80 percent of the water right, which equals 217,367 acre-feet per year (AFY). The City of Hawthorne has leased both the management of its municipal water system and its APA of 1,882 AFY to the current System Operator.
A detailed description of the Basin is given in California's Groundwater Bulletin 118.14 The Basin is adjudicated, and the Adjudication Order is included in the following link:

The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) and its subsequent amendments do not apply to adjudicated basins such as the West Coast Basin. Instead, as the regional groundwater management agency for West Coast and Central Basins, two of the most utilized groundwater basins in the state of California, the WRD plays an integral role in overall water resource management in southern Los Angeles County.

million residents in 43 cities of southern Los Angeles County. The 420 square mile service area uses about 220,000 AFY of groundwater, which equates to nearly half percent of the total regional water demand for water. The WRD ensures that a reliable supply of high-quality groundwater is available through its clean water projects, water supply programs, and effective management principles.15
6.2.3 Historical Pumping and Supply Sufficiency
The City has a total of four wells located within the Hawthorne System boundaries shown in Figure 6-1.
There are six surface storage structures, enabling the groundwater wells to pump to storage during non-peak demand periods and provide peak day demand. The City has sufficient production capacity to supply all of the City’s current annual average day and maximum day demand.
As noted above, groundwater is a portion of the supply for the City. Table 6-1 lists the amount of groundwater pumped from the Basin by the System Operator over the past five years. The available groundwater supply purchased water supply, and recycled water supply have been sufficient to meet all of the City’s demands in the past five years and all prior years.

Surface Water
The System Operator does not impound or divert surface water to meet demands in the Hawthorne System.
Stormwater
There are no plans by the System Operator to divert stormwater for beneficial uses in the Hawthorne System.
Wastewater and Recycled Water
The recycling of wastewater offers several potential benefits to the City and its customers. One of these benefits is to help maintain a sustainable groundwater water supply either through direct recharge, or by reducing potable supply needs by utilizing recycled water for appropriate uses (e.g., landscape, irrigation) now being served by potable water. The potential volume of recycled water that can be produced is proportional to the volume of wastewater that is locally generated by the City, and is discussed in the following sections.
6.5.1 Recycled Water Coordination
The System Operator relies on and coordinates with the following wastewater agencies for wastewater collection, treatment and recycling in the Hawthorne System:
• Los Angeles County Sanitation District (LACSD)
• WBMWD
The treatment level for each agency is described further in the following section. CWC § 10633
The plan shall provide, to the extent available, information on recycled water and its potential for use as a water source in the service area of the urban water supplier.

6.5.2 Wastewater Collection, Treatment, and Disposal
The LACSD owns, operates, and maintains the sewer system consisting of gravity sewers, pumping stations, and force mains to collect wastewater from the Hawthorne System service area. The collected wastewater is discharged to trunk sewers and interceptors owned and operated by the LACSD.
The LACSD’s A.K Warren Water Resource Facility (WRF; formerly known as the Joint Water Pollution Control Plant) provides the wastewater service for the City. The WRF is the largest of the LACSD’s wastewater treatment plants. It provides advanced primary and partial secondary treatment for 400 million gallons per day (MGD) of wastewater and serves a population of approximately 4.8 million residents, businesses and industries.16 The treated wastewater is disinfected with chlorine and sent to the Pacific Ocean through a network of outfalls that extend two miles off the Palos Verdes Peninsula to a depth of 200 feet.
Recycled water is provided to the City by the WBMWD. The source of the recycled water is treated effluent from the City of Los Angeles’ Hyperion Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP).
The Hyperion WWTP provides secondary treatment using the activated sludge process.
Most of the Hyperion WWTP treated effluent is disposed of through an ocean outfall, but a small percentage of it is sent to WBMWD’s main treatment facility, the Edward C. Little Water Recycling Facility (ELWRF). The ELWRF produces five types of water quality levels which include: Title 22 (tertiary treatment), Nitrified, Softened Reverse Osmosis (purified by micro-filtration followed by reverse osmosis) for disinfection for groundwater recharge, and Pure Reverse Osmosis, UltraPure Reverse Osmosis. The ELWRF is also undergoing the Phase V Expansion, which will add advanced treatment capacity to support expanded recycled water production and improve regional water supply reliability.17 This expansion is designed to enhance treatment flexibility and enable future indirect potable reuse by producing high-quality advanced treated water suitable for groundwater replenishment.

from ELWRF are conveyed through a network of nearly 100 miles of distribution pipelines ranging in diameter from 4 to 60 inches.18
Recycled water is currently being used for injection at the seawater intrusion barriers, for industrial operations, and for landscape irrigation. The WBMWD currently provides an estimated 38,700 AFY to over 350 customer connections. The ELWRF will ultimately be one of the largest water reuse projects in the United States. The project, when fully constructed, has the potential to deliver an additional 70,000 AFY of tertiary treated recycled water.
Estimates for the City’s wastewater quantity (indoor usage) are shown in Table 6-2. The calculation is based on annualizing 90 percent of January water use in Hawthorne System service area. Table 6-3 summarizes the wastewater treatment and discharge volumes within the Hawthorne System service area.

6.5.3 Recycled Water System and Recycled Water Beneficial Uses Although the LACSD’s WRF provides the wastewater service for the Hawthorne System service area, recycled water is provided to the service area by the ELWRF. The source of this recycled water is treated effluent from the City of Los Angeles’ Hyperion WWTP. Most of the treated effluent is disposed of through an ocean outfall, but a small percentage of the treated effluent is sent to the ELWRF in El Segundo where it undergoes chemical clarification, recarbonation, microfiltration, and chlorination. The ELWRF produces about 40 MGD of recycled water and has an ultimate capacity of 62.3 MGD.
The recycled water used in the Hawthorne System is collected from communities outside of the Hawthorne System. Recycled water from the ELWRF is used for several purposes including: (1) groundwater replenishment through more than 100 wells, (2) landscape irrigation and (3) industrial process water. The ELWRF serves more than 140 sites including areas in Manhattan Beach, Torrance, Hermosa Beach, and Inglewood. The biggest customers are the Chevron and Mobil oil refineries. In the Hawthorne System, the recycled water customers include the City of Hawthorne and the Hawthorne School District.
As shown in Table 6-4, recycled water use in the Hawthorne System is projected to decrease slightly through 2050. Table 6-5 compares the 2020 estimate for 2025 to the 2025 actual recycled water use. The extent and timing of recycled water use is highly variable and often speculative given the uncertainty surrounding planned developments. The discrepancy between 2020 projected recycled water use and 2025 actual recycled water use may be attributed to unanticipated variation in the availability of recycled water supplies, existing recycled water customers used less recycled water than previously projected.

6.5.4 Actions to Encourage and Optimize Future Recycled Water Use The 2009 WBMWD Capital Implementation Master Plan for Recycled Water Systems (Master Plan) identified customers in the Hawthorne System along with details of the main features of the proposed piping system for distributing the recycled wastewater within the Hawthorne System.
Since that 2009 Master Plan, WBMWD has undertaken a series of planning updates and capital improvements to expand recycled water distribution, connect new customers, and modernize system infrastructure. In 2020–2021, the System Operator completed a Recycled Water Master Plan (2020-2040) that builds upon the 2009 plan by evaluating current conditions, changing regional water demands, and future growth opportunities. This updated plan serves as the foundation for WBMWD’s Capital Improvement Program and identifies projects to increase recycled water production, delivery reliability, and customer connections over the next two decades.
19 As shown in Table 6-6, the System Operator does not currently have specific projects to expand the use of recycled water within the Hawthorne System.

Summary of Existing and Planned Sources of Water
Table 6-8 summarizes the actual volumes of purchased water and groundwater production for calendar year 2025, while Table 6-9 provides projected volumes. As discussed below in Chapter 7, WBMWD projects that it will be able to serve 100 percent of the demands of its wholesale customers through 2050. Thus, the City’s projected purchases from WBMWD are assumed to make up the differences between the normal-year projected demands in Chapter 4 and the projected groundwater and recycled water production volumes.

Special Conditions
6.10.1 Climate Change Effects
The current System Operator, is committed to incorporating climate change into its ongoing water supply planning. Section 4.4 of this Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP or Plan) includes a description of plausible changes to projected demands under climate change conditions.
6.10.2 Regulatory Conditions and Project Development
Emerging regulatory conditions (e.g., issues surrounding the Water Quality Control Plan for the San Francisco/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Estuary [Bay-Delta Plan]) may affect planned future projects and the characterization of future water supply availability and analysis. The System Operator does not have any current plans to develop additional supply sources. If the System Operator does move forward with any plans to develop supply projects, emerging regulatory conditions will be considered, and the associated water supply reliability impacts will be assessed in future UWMP updates.
6.10.3 Other Locally Applicable Criteria
Other locally applicable criteria may affect characterization and availability of an identified water supply (e.g., changes in regional water transfer rules may alter the availability of a water supply that had historically been readily available). The System Operator does not have any current plans to develop additional supply sources. If the System Operator does move forward with any plans to develop supply projects, locally applicable criteria will be considered, and the associated water supply reliability impacts will be assessed in future UWMP updates. 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

Energy Intensity
The “Total Utility Approach” as defined by DWR in the 2025 UWMP Guidebook is used to report water-related energy-consumption data for the System Operator. Calendar year 2024 is selected as the one-year reporting period, and utility bills for the associated time period are used as the source for energy consumption data. Utility bills reported the following energy consumption data for the Hawthorne System during calendar year 2024:

Chapter 7
Water Supply Reliability Assessment
This chapter describes the reliability of the City of Hawthorne’s (City’s) water supplies.
Assessment of water supply reliability is complex and dependent upon a number of factors, such as the number of water sources, regulatory and legal constraints, hydrological and environmental conditions, climate change, and expected growth, among others. Based on available historical information and projections of future water uses, regulatory and legal constraints, and hydrological and environmental conditions, including climate change, the System Operator has made its best determination of future water supply reliability. This chapter includes the following sections:
7.1 Constraints on Water Sources
7.2 Reliability by Type of Year
7.3 Supply and Demand Assessment
7.4 Water Supply Management Tools and Options
7.5 Drought Risk Assessment
Constraints on Water Sources
The primary supply sources for the City of Hawthorne (City) are purchased water from the West Basin Municipal Water District (WBMWD) and groundwater pumped from the underlying adjudicated basin the West Coast Basin (California Department of Water Resources [DWR] Basin No. 4-011.03). In addition, as described in Chapter 6, a portion of demand is served with recycled water from WBMWD.
The City’s groundwater supply is limited by the Allowable Pumping Allocation (APA) from the West Coast Basin leased to the current System Operator. In addition, the System Operator CWC § 10620 (f)
An urban water supplier shall describe in the plan water management tools and options used by that entity that will maximize resources and minimize the need to import water from other regions. CWC § 10630.5
Each plan shall include a simple lay description of how much water the agency has on a reliable basis, how much it needs for the foreseeable future, what the agency’s strategy is for meeting its water needs, the challenges facing the agency, and any other information necessary to provide a general understanding of the agency’s plan. 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

identified other potential constraints on supply availability, including water quality and climate change. These constraints, along with associated management strategies are summarized in the following sections.
7.1.1 Supply Availability
Purchased Water
The WBMWD 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) states that it will be able to serve 100 percent of projected demands in normal, single-dry and multiple-dry years. Because of this, the System Operator expects that, under all hydrologic conditions, purchased water supplies (in combination with groundwater and recycled supplies discussed below) will fully meet future demands. The projected purchases from WBMWD are the difference between City’s demand and estimated use and availability of its other supplies (i.e., groundwater and recycled water).
Projected groundwater and recycled water volumes are detailed in Chapter 6.
WBMWD, which is a member agency of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD), acts as secondary wholesaler, both purchasing water from MWD and reselling it to the City.
Colorado River Supplies
The Colorado River has experienced drought conditions for more than two decades, resulting in development of a series of guiding documents and agreements to manage Colorado River supplies under shortage conditions. The 2007 Interim Guidelines were developed to respond to the changing river hydrology, providing coordinated operations of Lake Powell and Lake Mead, as well as the Intentionally Created Surplus (ICS) program, which allows MWD to store water in Lake Mead. Due to declining water levels, the 2019 Lower Basin Drought Contingency Plan (2019 Drought Contingency Plan) was developed by United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) and the Colorado River Basin states to reduce the risk of Lake Mead and Lake Powell reaching critically low levels. The existing operating agreements, including the 2007 Interim Guidelines and the 2019 Drought Contingency Plan, are set to expire by the end of 2026. Negotiations for long-term operations for Lake Powell and Lake Mead after 2026 are ongoing. USBR is developing a new long-term operating plan, which requires a thorough review of environmental impacts under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). A draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was released in January 2026. In the meantime, the California agencies that depend on the Colorado River, including MWD, are discussing a framework agreement regarding how shortages will be shared. Accordingly, future drought planning and management remain subject to ongoing negotiations.
MWD has incorporated the uncertainty surrounding future Colorado River supplies into its longterm supply modeling. For the 2025 UWMP, MWD modeled Colorado River supplies consistent 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

M.Cubed
with USBR’s Colorado River Simulation System with an additional climate change adjustment that reduces projected inflows over time. MWD’s 2025 UWMP also assumes that current Colorado River operating agreements will remain in place throughout the planning horizon. 20 SWP Supplies
For SWP supplies, the Table A in water supply contracts between the state water contractors and DWR set forth the base annual water supply entitlement that a state water contractor may expect to be provided under the contract. However, actual delivery varies by year, depending on hydrologic conditions, water quality and environmental conditions,1 state water contractor delivery requests, current reservoir storage, and other operational factors. Table A allocation percentages are publicly determined by DWR’s modeling, analyses, and operations. The state water contractors may also receive other supplies that are “carried over” from prior years’ entitlements or made available as hydrologic conditions warrant, above and beyond their Table A allocations.
There are ongoing efforts aimed at increasing the long-term supply reliability of the SWP. The Delta Conveyance Project (DCP), for example, proposes to modernize the state’s aging water conveyance infrastructure by bypassing the tracts and sloughs of the central Delta, conveying water directly from the northern Delta to the SWP pumping facilities at the south of the Delta via an underground tunnel. The DCP would reduce the vulnerability of the SWP to salinity intrusion, levee failure, and other potential impacts to SWP operations as a result of climate change, sealevel rise, and earthquakes. The DCP would also address Delta ecosystem health by reducing the timing and intensity of current pumping operations impacting flows across the Delta. Recognizing these issues, MWD’s Board of Directors voted in 2020 and 2024 to support funding its share of the DCP environmental planning and pre-construction costs necessary to advance the project. 21 In May 2025, Governor Newsom introduced a package of legislation aiming to expedite DCP implementation.
Sites Reservoir Project is a proposed 1.5 million AF off-stream storage reservoir in the Sacramento Valley that would require the construction of two large dams up to 310 feet high and nine smaller saddle dams. The water stored in the reservoir would be diverted from the Sacramento River during high flow events and returned to the Sacramento River during dry and critical years, thereby providing additional dry-year water for environmental flows and project partners including SWP agencies south of the Delta.22
MWD has incorporated assumptions regarding SWP reliability into long term supply planning based on assumptions provided in the 2025 SWP Delivery Capability Report, which presents DWR 20 ibid 21 ibid 22 ibid
2025 Urban Water Management Plan
City of Hawthorne

EKI Environment & Water, Inc.

estimates for SWP water availability under future conditions. Although the DCP and Sites Reservoir Project could provide significant potential benefits to MWD’s future supply reliability, MWD’s reliability assessment conservatively does not include any changes in supply reliability that could result from new facilities proposed under the DCP and Sites Reservoir Project (MWD, 2026).
Groundwater
The City’s service area (also referred to herein as the “Hawthorne System”) overlies the West Coast Basin (Basin) of the Los Angeles Groundwater Basin, which is adjudicated. The System Operator has a leased APA from the City of 1,882 acre-feet per year (AFY) of adjudicated rights in the Basin. These adjudicated water rights are considered 100 percent reliable; therefore, under all hydrologic conditions, groundwater supplies will fully meet future groundwater demands.
Recycled Water
The City uses a small amount of recycled water from the Edward C. Little Water Recycling Facility (ELWRF), which is operated by WBMWD and currently provides an estimated 38,700 AFY to over 350 customer connections. The ELWRF, when fully constructed, has the potential to deliver nearly 70,000 AFY of tertiary treated recycled water. The City’s recycled water demands comprise a small fraction of the ELWRF total capacity and have been met historically. Additionally, recycled water is considered to be a “drought-proof” supply. Therefore, recycled water is projected to be a reliable source to the City.
7.1.2 Water Quality
Impaired water quality also has the potential to affect water supply reliability. The System Operator is committed to meeting all state and federal water quality regulations. All drinking water standards are set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the authorization of the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974. In California, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), Division of Drinking Water (DDW) can either adopt the EPA standards or set more stringent standards, which are then codified in Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations. There are two general types of drinking water standards:
• Primary Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) are health protective standards and are established using a very conservative risk-based approach for each constituent that takes CWC § 10634
The plan shall include information, to the extent practicable, relating to the quality of existing sources of water available to the supplier over the same five-year increments as described in subdivision (a) of Section 10631, and the manner in which water quality affects water management strategies and supply reliability. 2025 Urban Water Management Plan
City of Hawthorne

EKI Environment & Water, Inc.
M.Cubed
into potential health effects, detectability and treatability, and costs of treatment. Public water systems may not serve water that exceeds Primary MCLs for any constituent. • Secondary MCLs are based on the aesthetic qualities of the water such as taste, odor, color, and certain mineral content, and are considered limits for constituents that may affect consumer acceptance of the water.
A portion of the potable water for the Hawthorne System is treated surface water purchased from WBMWD. There are generally no water quality issues except for seasonal nitrification in the storage tanks. The System Operator takes measures to mitigate this problem by turning over the water in the tanks. Occasionally, flushing may have to be performed and/or additional chlorine must be manually added to one or more of the storage tanks. There have been mixing systems installed in a few storage tanks for this purpose. Additional tank circulation systems may be necessary in the future. Since this water system is disinfected with chloramines, nitrification is a possibility that is constantly monitored in the distribution system and in storage tanks. No additional treatment is provided by the System Operator.
Although there is the potential for some regulated constituents to be present in source water, as documented in the Water Quality Reports, the System Operator’s monitoring, management, and treatment of its water results in high quality drinking water that meets all drinking water standards. The System Operator tracks change in constituent concentrations to proactively address water quality issues before they impact supply reliability.23 The System Operator is committed to proactively addressing emerging contaminants and changing MCL requirements.
Given the System Operator’s proactive monitoring and management of water quality in its source water supplies, water quality is not expected to impact the reliability of the System Operator’s available supplies within the planning horizon (i.e., through 2050).
7.1.3 Climate Change
Section 6.10.1 provides a summary of the assessments of the climate change on supplies. 23 Cal Water, 2018. Direct Testimony of Director of Water Quality, 2018 CPUC Rate Case Filing. CWC § 10631 (b) (1)
…For each source of water supply, consider any information pertinent to the reliability analysis conducted pursuant to Section 10635, including changes in supply due to climate change. 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

EKI Environment & Water, Inc.
M.Cubed
As described in Chapter 6, a portion of the City’s supply is water imported by MWD purchased from WBMWD. In Section 2.6 of its Draft 2025 UWMP, MWD discusses in detail its multi-pronged approach to considering climate change and states that “As a major steward of the region’s water supply resources, Metropolitan is committed to performing its due diligence with respect to climate change”.
24 The MWD’s extensive efforts to incorporate future impacts of climate change on its supplies ensure that the City’s imported supply projections also reflect those impacts.
Reliability by Type of Year
Per the 2025 UWMP Guidebook, the water service reliability assessment includes three unique year types:
• A normal hydrologic year represents the water supplies available under normal conditions, this could be an averaged range of years or a single representative year, • A single dry year represents the lowest available water supply, and • A five-consecutive year drought represents the driest five-year period in the historical record.
For the City, the identification of year types follows that of WBMWD, which in turn is based on the years identified by MWD. Thus, the single dry year in Table 7-1 is 1977 and the five-year dry 24 ibid
CWC § 10635 (a)
Every urban water supplier shall include, as part of its urban water management plan, an assessment of the reliability of its water service to its customers during normal, dry, and multiple dry water years. This water supply and demand assessment shall compare the total water supply sources available to the water supplier with the long-term total projected water use over the next 20 years, in five-year increments, for a normal water year, a single dry water year, and a drought lasting five consecutive water years. The water service reliability assessment shall be based upon the information compiled pursuant to Section 10631, including available data from state, regional, or local agency population projections within the service area of the urban water supplier. CWC § 10631 (b)
Identify and quantify, to the extent practicable, the existing and planned sources of water available to the supplier over the same five-year increments described in subdivision (a), providing supporting and related information, including all of the following:
CWC § 10631 (b)(1)
A detailed discussion of anticipated supply availability under a normal water year, single dry year, and droughts lasting at least five years, as well as more frequent and severe periods of drought, as described in the drought risk assessment. For each source of water supply, consider any information pertinent to the reliability analysis conducted pursuant to Section 10635, including changes in supply due to climate change.

period is 1988-1992. The average year is based on historical Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) census tract projections.
As discussed in Section 7.1.1, purchased water from WBMWD is projected to be 100 percent reliable regardless of water year type and will make up the differences between demand and other projected supplies (groundwater and recycled water). Collectively the City’s supplies are projected to be sufficient to meet demands in all year types through the planning horizon. As such, the projected “volume available” estimates presented in Table 7-1 are equal to the maximum demands across projected years and year types shown in Table 7-2, Table 7-3, and Table 7-4. For example, the assumed volume available in a representative single dry year in Table 7-1 is equal to the projected single dry year demand for the year 2030 as shown in Table 7-3.
It should be noted that supply volumes in Table 7-1, Table 7-2, Table 7-3, and Table 7-4 do not represent the total amount of purchased water, groundwater, and recycled water supplies that may be available to the City in a given year, but rather reflect the fact that the combination of water supply sources have always been sufficient to meet demands, and is projected to continue to be sufficient to meet demands in the future.

(b) Average year volumes are based on historical SCAG census tract projections.
Supply and Demand Assessment
The System Operator has relied on the demand modeling described in Chapter 4 to forecast demands for normal, single dry and multiple dry years. As described above, the supplies for the City are expected to be able to serve those demands in all year types through 2050. Table 7-2 shows the projected supply and demand totals for a normal year.

Water Supply Management Tools and Options
At a regional level, the System Operator coordinates on an ongoing basis with all relevant agencies to optimize the use of regional water supplies. This includes WBMWD and other public and private entities with which the System Operator can collaborate to protect and enhance local water resources and evaluate opportunities to expand use of alternative was supplies where feasible. Further, to maintain reliability, the System Operator will rely on the City’s diverse supply portfolio, with plans to optimize availability, quality, and cost-effectiveness over time where possible as described in Chapter 6 and above in Section 7.1.
The System Operator is committed to helping the City’s customers use water efficiently and has implemented, and will continue to implement, the Demand Management Measures described in Chapter 9. Further, in response to hydrologic and regulatory uncertainty, the System Operator has developed a robust WSCP for the City that systematically identifies ways in which the System Operator can reduce water demands. The City’s WSCP is included in Appendix F. CWC § 10620 (f)
An urban water supplier shall describe in the plan water management tools and options used by that entity that will maximize resources and minimize the need to import water from other regions. 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

In summary, the System Operator has a vigorous planning process in place with various supply and demand management projects for consideration to address future supply/demand gaps and to increase supply reliability. Additional conservation will also support these efforts. Projects will be developed, as needed, to balance supply reliability and affordability.
Drought Risk Assessment
7.5.1 Data, Methods, and Basis for Water Shortage Condition The Drought Risk Assessment (DRA) uses the projected 2025-2030 demands assuming an extended five-year drought over that period. This evaluation considers historical drought hydrology and plausible changes on projected supplies and demands under climate change conditions, anticipated regulatory changes, and other locally applicable criteria. As described above, the available supply for each of those years is assumed to equal the demand.
7.5.2 Drought Risk Assessment Water Source Reliability
As described in Chapter 6, imported water purchased from WBMWD and local groundwater from the underlying Basin are the sources of potable supply for the City. The City additionally utilizes recycled water from WBMWD. Table 7-5 provides a comparison of the water supply available to the City with the total projected water use for an assumed extended drought period from 2026 through 2030.
CWC § 10635(b)
Every urban water supplier shall include, as part of its urban water management plan, a drought risk assessment for its water service to its customers as part of information considered in developing the demand management measures and water supply projects and programs to be included in the urban water management plan. The urban water supplier may conduct an interim update or updates to this drought risk assessment within the fiveyear cycle of its urban water management plan update. The drought risk assessment shall include each of the following:
(1) A description of the data, methodology, and basis for one or more supply shortage conditions that are necessary to conduct a drought risk assessment for a drought period that lasts five consecutive water years, starting from the year following when the assessment is conducted. (2) A determination of the reliability of each source of supply under a variety of water shortage conditions. This may include a determination that a particular source of water supply is fully reliable under most, if not all, conditions.
(3) A comparison of the total water supply sources available to the water supplier with the total projected water use for the drought period.
(4) Considerations of the historical drought hydrology, plausible changes on projected supplies and demands under climate change conditions, anticipated regulatory changes, and other locally applicable criteria. 2025 Urban Water Management Plan

As described in Sections 4.4 and 6.10.1, the impacts on climate change have already been factored into the City’s demand projections and the analysis of the near- and longer-term reliability of the groundwater and purchased supply sources available to the City.
Regulatory conditions that could affect future water supply availability and project development are discussed in Section 6.10.3. However, the System Operator does not currently have plans for projects to develop additional supply sources, and so these regulatory conditions will be assessed in future UWMP updates if or when the System Operator moves forward with any plans to develop supply projects.
Table 7-5 provides a comparison of the water supply sources available to the City with the total projected water use for an assumed drought period of 2026 through 2030. This includes current climate change conditions. It should be noted that the supply values shown in the table do not represent the total supply available to the City in a given year, but rather reflect the fact that the available purchased water and groundwater supplies are sufficient to meet the demands as needed.
In general, the City has sufficient supplies to meet demands in all year types. Regardless, the System Operator has developed a WSCP for the City to address potential water shortage conditions resulting from any cause (e.g., droughts, impacted distribution system infrastructure, regulatory-imposed shortage restrictions, etc.). The WSCP, included as Appendix F identifies a variety of actions that the System Operator will implement to reduce demands in the event of supply shortages of different magnitudes.

Water Shortage Contingency Planning
The Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) for the City of Hawthorne (City) is included in this Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) as Appendix F. The WSCP serves as a standalone document to be engaged in the case of a water shortage event, such as a drought or supply interruption, and defines specific policies and actions that will be implemented at various Shortage Level scenarios. The primary objective of the WSCP is to ensure that the System Operator has in place the necessary resources and management responses needed to protect health and human safety, minimize economic disruption, and preserve environmental and community assets during water supply shortages and interruptions.
Consistent with California Water Code (CWC) §10632, the WSCP includes six Shortage Levels to address shortage conditions ranging from up to 10 percent to greater than 50 percent shortage, identifies a suite of demand mitigation measures for the System Operator to implement at each level, and identifies procedures for the System Operator to annually assess whether or not a water shortage is likely to occur in the coming year, among other things.
A summary of the key elements of the WSCP including water Shortage Levels and demandreduction actions is shown in Table 8-1, Table 8-2, and Table 8-3. Additional details are provided in Appendix F.
CWC § 10640
(a) Every urban water supplier required to prepare a plan pursuant to this part shall prepare its plan pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 10630). The supplier shall likewise periodically review the plan as required by Section 10621, and any amendments or changes required as a result of that review shall be adopted pursuant to this article.
(b) Every urban water supplier required to prepare a water shortage contingency plan shall prepare a water shortage contingency plan pursuant to Section 10632. The supplier shall likewise periodically review the water shortage contingency plan asrequired by paragraph (10) ofsubdivision (a) of Section 10632 and any amendments or changes required as a result of that review shall be adopted pursuant to this article. 2025 Urban Water Management Plan
