REPORT NARRATIVE:

The purpose of this Public Hearing is for the City Council to receive public comment, consider, and adopt the City’s two-year Recommended Budget for Fiscal Years 2026-27 and 2027-28. The Recommended Budget reflects City Council direction and Community input received throughout the budget development process, including budget workshops, Parks & Recreation Commission and Planning Commission review, and Community engagement efforts.

The total Recommended Budget for FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28 is approximately $244.2 million and $221.4 million, respectively. Excluding the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP), the total Operating Budget is approximately $151.5 million in FY 2026-27 and $159.6 million in FY 2027-28. The total CIP Budget for FY 2026-27 and FY 2027-28 is approximately $92.7 million and $61.8 million, respectively. The Recommended Budget remains unchanged from the version presented to the City Council during the budget workshops (Attachment 1).

Consistent with City Council direction, the Recommended Budget continues to address the City’s structural fiscal challenges through a combination of cost containment, operational efficiencies, and targeted revenue enhancements, while maintaining core service levels. The budget reflects a comprehensive review of departmental expenditures and includes strategic hiring controls, energy savings initiatives, reduced operating costs, deferred non-essential maintenance, administrative cost recovery, and

Page 437 of 664 ends

14 fair market facility rental allocations. While these actions help narrow the City’s ongoing structural deficit, additional efforts will be needed in the future to address long-term fiscal sustainability.

As outlined in the multi-year fiscal roadmap presented to the City Council on April 1, 2026, the City is preparing for a potential November 2028 revenue measure. Over the next two years, staff will conduct service level evaluations to define potential service reduction scenarios and inform the Community of the trade-offs required if additional ongoing revenue is not secured. These scenarios will include both moderate and major service impacts.

Through proactive planning, fiscal transparency, and continued Community engagement, the City will work to maintain essential services while building a more sustainable financial foundation for the future.

Excess ERAF Reserves
Due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the State Controller’s Office interpretation and litigation related to Excess Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) distributions, staff recommends allocating General Fund budget savings, up to $1.0 million, to reserves designated for potential Excess ERAF exposure. Together with $1.0 million already set aside from the prior year, this would strengthen the City’s financial preparedness for potential retroactive repayment obligations and future revenue reductions associated with Excess ERAF distributions. This action is consistent with County recommendations encouraging local agencies to set aside reserves for at-risk Excess ERAF revenues and supports the City’s long-term fiscal stability.

Citywide Computer Replacements
As part of the City Council’s effort to streamline meetings, the Council directed staff to identify agenda items that could be handled administratively. Staff have identified computer and workstation replacement purchases included in the adopted budget as appropriate for administrative approval. Currently, these purchases are centrally managed through the Information Services Division for the entire City. However, staff is still required to agendize and seek City Council approval for purchases, even when the equipment has already been appropriated through the budget process.

In addition, the technology industry continues to experience supply chain constraints, fluctuating availability, and shortened guaranteed pricing periods for computer equipment. As a result, staff may need to act quickly to secure pricing and ensure timely replacement of critical equipment. Requiring City Council approval for routine purchases can delay procurement and increase the risk of higher costs or missed purchasing opportunities.

Staff recommends that the City Council delegate authority to the City Manager to approve future computer and workstation replacement purchases included in the adopted budget, provided the purchases comply with the City’s purchasing policy and do not require additional appropriations. This approach would streamline routine procurement activities while remaining consistent with the City’s existing practice for

Page 438 of 664 ends

14 other routine purchases.

Classification and Compensation Adjustments
The changes include adjustments to the salary bands for the Information Technology Director and Police Captain classifications to maintain market competitiveness, address compaction issues, and support organizational alignment. In addition, the budget reflects the unfunding of a Principal Planner position following the promotion of the incumbent to the Planning Manager classification (Attachment 2). All associated costs and position changes are included in the Recommended Budget.

REPORT NARRATIVE:

The City of Morgan Hill has prepared a 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) to satisfy the requirements of the California Water Code sections 10610 et seq. and Urban Water Management Planning Act of 1983 (UWMPA). Urban water suppliers with 3,000 or more service connections or supplying 3,000 or more acre-feet of water per year are required to prepare an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) every five years.

The purpose of the Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) is to review and enhance the reliability of the water supply, ensure that future beneficial uses are supported by

Page 450 of 664 ends

15 adequate water supply availability, promote policies and programs that encourage water conservation, and provide a framework for responding to water supply shortages and drought conditions. The 2025 UWMP focuses on the following water-planning fundamentals:
• Preparing a roadmap for addressing current and long-term future water use. • Evaluating potable and non-potable water supplies, assessing water deliveries, and identifying constraints on water availability under certain regulatory and hydrological conditions.
• Evaluating water supply reliability by integrating the water-use analyses with the water supply analyses to summarize the water service reliability assessment under normal conditions, single dry-year conditions, and five consecutive dry years through year 2050.
• Preparing a realistic Drought Risk Assessment (DRA) by including integrated water supplies and projected water use in a hypothetical consecutive five-year drought condition.
• Developing an effective Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) that specifies opportunities to reduce demand and augment supplies under various, and even unpredictable, water shortage conditions. It also sets the baseline of development of the Water Sytem Master Plan (WSMP).

Comparison of the City’s future demands and available supplies indicates that the City will have sufficient water supply to meet its demands, even during single and multiple dry-year events, and by implementing the drought response actions documented in the Water Shortage Contingency Plan.

Staff recommends that City Council conduct a public hearing to receive input on the 2025 UWMP and 2025 WSCP, and then adopt the Resolutions provided as Attachment 3 and Attachment 4 approving the 2025 UWMP and 2025 WSCP and authorizing the submittal to the Department of Water Resources.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:

The UWMPA requires that the adopted UWMP demonstrate the water agency solicited public participation. A notice of public hearing was published in the local newspaper on May 15 and 22, 2026 notifying interested parties that the 2025 UWMP was available on the City’s web page (morganhill.ca.gov) for review two successive weeks before the anticipated public hearing and adoption scheduled for June 3. The report underwent minor revisions following the publication date, due to the receipt of updated information from Valley Water, which were provided after the original publication date.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:

The City Council could choose not to adopt the Resolution approving the 2025 UWMP and/or WSCP and provide alternate direction to staff. These alternatives are not recommended as approved plans are required by the State of California.

Page 451 of 664 ends

15 PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:

On October 6, 2021, the City Council adopted the 2020 Urban Water Management Plan and the 2020 Water Shortage Contingency Plan.

FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:

There are no fiscal impacts associated with accepting this report.

CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):

Categorical Exemption
The analysis of long-term water supply strategies is exempt from CEQA under Public Resources Code § 21102, 21150 (Feasibility or planning studies for possible future actions that the agency has not approved, adopted, or funded).

1.0 CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
This chapter introduces the purpose of the Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP), its importance and its overall focus intended to meet statuary reporting requirements for submission to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR).

Urban Water Management Plan Focus
The purpose of the Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) is to review and enhance the reliability of urban water supplies, ensure that future beneficial uses are supported by adequate water supply availability, promote policies and programs that encourage water conservation, and provide a framework for responding to water supply shortages and drought conditions. The 2025 UWMP focuses on the following water-planning fundamentals:
• Preparing a roadmap for
addressing current and longterm future water use.
• Evaluating potable and nonpotable water supplies,
assessing water deliveries, and
identifying constraints on water
availability under certain
regulatory and hydrological
conditions.
• Evaluating water supply
reliability by integrating the water-use analyses with the water supply analyses to summarize the water service reliability assessment under normal conditions, single dry-year conditions, and five consecutive dry years through year 2050.
• Preparing a realistic Drought Risk Assessment (DRA) by including integrated water supplies and projected water use in a hypothetical consecutive five-year drought condition. • Developing an effective Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) that specifies opportunities to reduce demand and augment supplies under various, and even unpredictable, water shortage conditions.

Reinforcing the coordination between land-use planning, water supply planning, and climate change, make the City’s 2025 UWMP both a valuable water management and water planning tool.

1.1 PURPOSE
The City of Morgan Hill (City) is required to submit an Urban Water Management Plan to the Department of Water Resources (DWR) in accordance with the California Water Code. The purpose of the UWMP is to review and enhance the reliability of urban water supplies, ensure that future beneficial uses are supported by adequate water supply availability, promote policies and programs that encourage water conservation, and provide a framework for responding to water supply shortages and drought conditions.

In addition to being filed every five years, the UWMP must comply with the requirements established in the Urban Water Management Planning Act (UWMP Act) of 1983, including all subsequent amendments. The UWMP Act requires agencies providing water for municipal purposes to more than 3,000 customers or serving more than 3,000 acre-feet annually to adopt an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) every five years, demonstrating water supply reliability in normal, single dry, and multiple dry water years. The UWMP Act also requires the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) to report to the Legislature on the status of UWMPs.

1.2 BACKGROUND
The drought of 1976-1977 caused widespread water supply shortages across California. Many cities and water districts were forced to seek additional water sources, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive, long-term water management planning at both the local and statewide levels. In response, the Urban Water Management Planning Act (UWMPA) was proposed and adopted in 1983 to reduce the risk of future emergencies caused by inadequate water resource planning. State Assembly Bill 797 amended Division 6 of California Water Code in 1983, formally establishing the UWMPA. Since its enactment, more than 20 amendments have been made, expanding the data requirements and the planning elements included in the 2025 UWMP.

Early amendments to the UWMPA required a 20-year planning horizon, evaluated in 5-year increments, to compare water demand with available water supplies. More recently, these planning projections have been extended to a 25-year planning horizon to preserve the 20-year projections while allowing sufficient time for the preparation of the subsequent UWMP.

Additional amendments to the UWMPA require that the City’s UWMP includes a Water Shortage Contingency Plan that meets the specifications of the Act as well as provisions for demand management measures and recycled water use. Recycled water use was added to reporting requirements because it provides a reliable alternative water source and can help meet future water demand. Individual water purveyors, in coordination with other water purveyors in the same general area where practicable, are responsible for preparing the Water Shortage Contingency Plan. Each supplier must also describe the water demand management measures currently in practice or scheduled for implementation. Notable Amendments include:

Page 467 of 664 ends

May 2026 1-3 City of Morgan Hill
2025 Urban Water Management Plan
• 2009, SBX7-7 requires the state and its municipal water purveyors to achieve a 20 percent reduction in urban per capita water usage by the year 2020. The “20X2020” plan set an interim goal of a 10 percent reduction by 2015 and a 20 percent reduction by 2020. • 2018, SB606 adds new requirements to the UWMP process as well as established updated urban water use objectives and water use reporting requirements:
o Prepare a drought risk assessment that examines water shortage risks for a drought lasting for the next five years.
o Prepare a comprehensive Water Shortage Contingency Plan that will include water budgeting forecast procedures, standard water shortage levels, shortage response actions, and other protocols.
o Enacts an annually required water supply and demand assessment wherein an urban water supplier will assess local demand and supply conditions and provide that information to DWR.
• 2024, “Making Conservation a California Way of Life” regulation, adopted by The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) in summer 2024, went into effect on January 1, 2025. The regulation established efficiency goals for urban water retail suppliers to implement two enacted legislative mandates (AB 1668 and SB 606) in 2018.

Under the new regulation:
o Suppliers are held to calculate annual “urban water use objectives” and should include budgets for a subset of water uses.
o The regulation provides for variances and temporary provisions to address unique water use circumstances.
o Suppliers must annually demonstrate compliance with objectives beginning January 1, 2027.

1.3 UWMP IMPORTANCE
The importance of the UWMP was exceptionally well defined in the 2025 guidebook and included in this section.

1.4 NOTABLE UPDATES SINCE 2020 UWMP
The City of Morgan Hill has been preparing and submitting an UWMP every 5 years, and the last submittal was for the 2020 UWMP, which was adopted on November 29th, 2021.

This 2020 UWMP addressed many of the same elements required for the 2025 UWMP, including:
plan preparation, service area description, water use characterization, SBX7-7 baselines, 2020 targets, normal-year water supply characterization, water service reliability and drought risk Urban Water Management Plan Importance
A UWMP is the legal and technical water management foundation for Suppliers throughout California. A well-constructed UWMP can save Suppliers time and money, and it provides the Supplier’s staff, the public, and elected officials with an understanding of past, current, and future water conditions and management. The UWMP integrates local and regional landuse planning, regional water supply, infrastructure, and demand management projects, as well as statewide issues of concern like climate change and regulatory revisions. In short, the UWMP gathers, characterizes, and synthesizes water-related information from numerous sources into a plan with local, regional, and statewide practical utility.

Thoughtful urban water management planning provides an opportunity for the City to integrate supplies and use in a balanced and methodical planning platform that addresses short-term and long-term water-planning conditions. The major benefits include:
• Assess changes in natural hydrology, climate, and groundwater conditions • Anticipate the implications of regional, State, and federal regulations • Understand supply conditions and water-use variability • Identify regional constraints on, or opportunities for, shared water resources • Integrate local land-use changes, development, plans, and population growth • Prepare for water shortages and unforeseen calamities • Anticipate infrastructure improvements
• Recognize project funding needs and opportunities
Thus, a UWMP provides a supplier with a reliable water management action plan that can be referenced during management decisions related to water supplies and especially during droughts. Importantly, UWMPs provide DWR, the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board), and the Legislature with an assessment of statewide water reliability. 2010

assessment, water shortage contingency plan, demand management measures, and plan adoption. On November 1
st, 2022, DWR completed the review of the City’s 2020 UWMP and its supplements, issuing a letter of completeness.

The 2025 UWMP guidebook identifies the following notable updates since the 2020 UWMP:
2025 UWMP Updates Description
Changes in Water Code Minor Water Code updates have been made since 2020, but none affect the 2025 UWMP requirements
Suppliers with Multiple
Public Water Systems
(PWSs)
State agencies now use consistent criteria to decide when a supplier operating multiple PWSs counts as an Urban Water Supplier subject to UWMP rules
DWR Submittal Tables Submittal tables have been updated to match the current reporting year, improve accuracy, and better show what Water Code requires versus what is optional.

Water Loss Standard
Reporting
Water Loss Standard rules haven’t changed, but updated standards for 2028 are now available. New guidance explains how suppliers should report progress on meeting these standards in their 2025 UWMPs.

Direct Potable Reuse Regulations for direct potable reuse have been adopted since the last reporting cycle; minor updates were made to demand and supply tables to support this new reporting requirement.

Lower-Income Housing New guidance clarifies how suppliers should project water demand for lower-income housing, integrating RHNA information and updated land-use planning.

Reporting Groundwater
Recharge and Other
Water Storage
Updated guidance clarifies how to report water placed into storage and later withdrawn, ensuring that water is not double-counted when moving between long-term and short-term storage.

1.5 UWMP IN RELATION TO OTHER EFFORTS
In addition to preparing the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan, the City has the following relevant infrastructure planning efforts:
• Water System Master Plan. Published in 2021, with an update planned for 2026. • Wastewater System Master Plan. Published in 2024.
• Stormwater System Master Plan. Published in 2018, and Amendment 1 issued in 2020.

2025 Urban Water Management Plan
The planning horizons of these master planning documents is based on the 2035 General Plan, and which was adopted in 2016. The Morgan Hill 2035 General Plan, specifically through its Residential Development Control System (RDCS) and Measure S passed in 2016, establishes a maximum population goal. General Plan policy CNF-3.4 called for a 2035 population of 58,200 residents, however, the General Plan EIR studied the buildout projection as the Horizon Year, and estimated at approximately 68,057 people, which includes both the existing population and net new population from approved residential developments. Thus, the Horizon Year for these master plans extends to an approximate year of 2050, and coinciding with the 2025 UWMP, as shown on Figure 1-1. These master plans include relevant information on growth, as well as population and demand projections.

Figure 1-1 Planning Horizons
In 2019, in a joint effort with the City of Gilroy, the City of Morgan Hill completed a Sustainable Water Management Planning document. This plan reviewed and ranked potential supplemental long-term supply projects, including groundwater recharge, recycled water, surface water treatment projects, a scalping plant, and other initiatives. The ranking criteria considered factors such as increased yield to the Llagas Subbasin, cost, location of benefit, ease of implementation, regulatory considerations, and overall resiliency.

The preparation of the 2025 UWMP complements these planning efforts by providing guidance for efficient water use throughout the master planning horizon and identifying water conservation measures that influence both water demands and associated wastewater flows. Efforts have been made to ensure consistency between the water demand projections, and the projected water use for the 2025 UWMP and current master planning updates.

1.6 UWMPS AND GRANT OR LOAN ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible for any water grant or loan administered by DWR, an agency must have a current UWMP on file that has been determined by DWR to meet the requirements of the following Water Code.

California Water Code
10608.56 (a) On and after July 1, 2016, an urban retail water supplier is not eligible for a water grant or loan awarded or administered by the state unless the supplier complies with this part. 10608.56 (c) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), the department shall determine that an urban retail water supplier is eligible for a water grant or loan even though the supplier has not met the per capita reductions required pursuant to Section 10608.24, if the urban retail water supplier has submitted to the department for approval a schedule, financing plan, and budget, to be included in the grant or loan agreement, for achieving the per capita reductions. The supplier may request grant or loan funds to achieve the per capita reductions to the extent the request is consistent with the eligibility requirements applicable to the water funds. 10656 An urban water supplier is not eligible for a water grant or loan awarded or administered by the state unless the urban water supplier complies with this part.

Beginning in 2016, changes to California law require that urban retail water suppliers comply with the water conservation requirements established by the Water Conservation Act of 2009 to be eligible for State water grants or loans. For 2025 UWMPs, compliance with this Act means that a water agency must have met its 2025 Urban Water Use Target, which is discussed further in another chapter. This compliance must be documented and reported in the 2025 UWMP.

2.0 CHAPTER 2 – PLAN PREPARATION
This chapter describes the process used as well as the coordination and outreach during the preparation of the UWMP. The chapter also includes guidance and tables to ensure consistent use throughout the UWMP for two key elements: the use of a fiscal or calendar year, and the specific units of measurement the City uses to report water volumes.

2.1 BASIS FOR PREPARING THIS PLAN
This section documents the basis for preparing the 2025 UWMP and includes references to the relevant California Water Code.

California Water Code
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.
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.
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.

The California Water Code (CWC) defines an “urban water supplier” as a publicly or privately owned supplier that provides water for municipal purposes either directly or indirectly to more than 3,000 customers or supplies more than 3,000 acre-feet of water annually. At the preparation of the 2025 UWMP, the City of Morgan Hill supplied water to over 15,163 active service connections in 2025, with a corresponding 2025 volume of approximately 7,158 acre-ft of water supplied, as summarized in Table 2-1. The City of Morgan Hill has been preparing an Urban Water Management Plan every five years and submitting to DWR.

Chapter Focus
This chapter provides guidance on determining whether a City is required to prepare a UWMP, the various levels of regional coordination that a City may employ, and how the City can document consistency with plan preparation requirements.

2.4 COORDINATION AND OUTREACH
This section describes the outreach and coordination efforts conducted for 2025 UWMP. More detailed notifications are documented in a separate chapter.

California Water Code
10620 (d)(3) Each urban water supplier shall coordinate the preparation of its plan with other appropriate agencies in the area, including other water suppliers that share a common source, water management agencies, and relevant public agencies, to the extent practicable.
10621 (b) Every urban water supplier required to prepare a plan pursuant to this part shall, at least 60 days before the public hearing on the plan required by Section 10642, notify any city or county within which the supplier provides water supplies that the urban water supplier will be reviewing the plan and considering amendments or changes to the plan.

The City’s 2025 UWMP is an update to the 2020 UWMP and is intended to address the aspects of the UWMPA that fall under the City’s authority, specifically water supply and water use. The draft plan has been shared with regional stakeholders and made available to the public in electronic formats. The wholesale water suppliers informed of the City’s projected water use are listed in Table 2-4.

The UWMPA requires that the adopted UWMP demonstrate the water agency solicited public participation. In accordance with this requirement, the City held a public hearing to allow community members to provide comments, learn about existing and future water supplies, and raise concerns towards the plan being adopted. A notice of the public hearing will be published in the local newspaper on _______&______ , 2026, notifying interested parties that the draft 2025

3.0 CHAPTER 3 – SERVICE AREA DESCRIPTION
This chapter describes the City’s water service area, including existing and future land use types, climate, and historical and projected population.

3.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This section documents the City’s location, service area, land use, and socioeconomic conditions.

California Water Code
10631 (a) Describe the service area of the supplier…

3.1.1 Location
The City is located in Santa Clara County, approximately 20 miles southeast of the city of San Jose (downtown) and 11 miles north of the city of Gilroy (Figure 3-1). Highway 101 bisects the eastern boundary of the City in the north-south direction. In 2001, the City outlined the long-term Urban Growth Boundary (UGB), which was approved by City Council, and identified lands intended for future urbanization within the City service area.

3.1.2 Land Use
According to the City’s 2021 Water System Master Plan (WSMP) Update, the City’s UGB encompasses approximately 17,661 acres of varying land-use types, which are defined as follows: 4,943 acres of residential; 2,192 acres of non-residential, including but not limited to:
commercial, industrial, and institutional; and 10,527 acres of other non-demand generating landuse types such as rural county, open space and landscape irrigation. The residential component can be further subdivided, with 87 percent of the total residential acres designated for singlefamily dwellings and the remaining 13 percent for multi-family dwellings within the city limits. The existing and future land use maps, extracted from the City’s 2021 WSMP Update, are shown on Chapter Focus
This chapter describes the City’s water service area, including the discussion of the City’s location, the boundaries of the water service area, existing and future land use types, and climate. It also summarizes historical and projected population trends and provides an overview of the City’s demographics and socioeconomic conditions.

2020 Urban Water Management Plan
Figure 3-3 and Figure 3-4, respectively. The existing and future land use information was the basis of water demand and supply planning for the City’s 2021 WSMP Update.

3.1.3 Socioeconomic Conditions
Based on data from the U.S. Census American Community Survey, the City has a median household income of approximately $163,920 per year and a per capita income of approximately $70,036 per year as of 2024. Approximately 46.8% of the population has a bachelor’s degree or higher and 91% have a high school diploma or higher. Approximately 3.9% of the population lives below the poverty line.

According to population and housing statistics prepared by the California Department of Finance (DOF), the City has an average household occupancy of 2.91 people per household in 2025.

Approximately 83% of the current residential units are single-family residences, with the other 17% reflecting multiple-family dwelling units. The 2025 residential vacancy rate is approximately

3.0%.

According to the City’s General Plan, the primary sectors of employment are manufacturing and health services. The City’s proximity to Silicon Valley plays an important role in economic activity, and agricultural production continues to be an important element to the City. The most recent unemployment rate was listed as 3.4%.

3.2 SERVICE AREA BOUNDARY MAPS
The City’s most recent General Plan was adopted in July 2016 and outlines the UGB.

Infrastructure improvements necessary to serve lands within the UGB were outlined in the City’s 2017 water distribution, sewer collection, and storm drainage master plans. As shown on Figure 3-2, the City’s existing water service area is generally consistent with the existing UGB. The City’s UGB incorporates approximately 27.7 square miles and is the City’s ultimate growth boundary for the life of the current General Plan; it is assumed that the UGB describes the future water system service area.

10631 (a) Describe the service area of the supplier, including … “climate…”

3.3.1 Historic Climate Data
The City has historically had a temperate climate due to its location in Santa Clara Valley and its proximity to the Pacific Ocean. The mean annual temperature in the City
is 73.5 degrees Fahrenheit (°F), with the hottest month being August at approximately 85.9 °F for the average
high, and the coldest month being January, with an
average low of approximately 38 °F. The City has a
historical average annual rainfall of approximately 17.4 inches, with the majority of the rainfall occurring from November to March. These months typically experience
between 3 to 4 inches total. The average annual
evapotranspiration (Eto) is approximately 53 inches. Average climate data is included in Table 3- 1A.

Figure 3-5 Historical Annual Rainfall

3.3.2 Climate Change
As part of the 2025 UWMP update, the California Water Code requires urban water suppliers to provide a general description of the climate change impact within the service area. Based on the City’s location and current climate, the most notable changes in climate are related to increasing average temperatures, intensifying storm events, and periods of extended drought. Other effects, such as decreasing snowpack or rising sea levels do not have a direct impact on the City’s water demand or supply. Changes in annual precipitation and temperature will likely have an impact on the City’s overall water use as well as available supply volumes.

As the local Groundwater Sustainability Agency, Valley Water is in the process of developing multiple studies to estimate the impact of climate change throughout Santa Clara County and proactively plan for the future.

The Valley Water Board of Directors adopted Climate Change Action Plan in 2021 which includes seven goals related to climate mitigation, climate adaptation and emergency preparedness:
• Goal 1: Reduce Direct Greenhouse Gas Emissions
• Goal 2: Expand Renewable Energy and Improve Energy Efficiency 0 5

• Goal 3: Reduce Indirect Greenhouse Gas Emissions
• Goal 4: Water Supply Adaptation
• Goal 5: Flood Protection Adaptation in Santa Clara County • Goal 6: Ecosystem Adaptation in Santa Clara County
• Goal 7: Emergency Preparedness
Valley Water published the Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP) Annual Implementation Report for fiscal years (FY) 2022 and 2023, which includes progress updates and a summary of actions taken since the adoption of the CCAP. Water supply adaptation is one of the plan’s goals, and the report highlights multiple strategies and project initiatives designed to achieve it. Valley Water has continued its efforts to: (1) coordinate with Gilroy in terms of maximizing non-potable reuse and, (2) evaluate future water purification opportunities in both Gilroy and Morgan Hill.

Additionally, Valley Water publishes Extreme Weather Event Action Plan (EWEAP) Biennial Reports to track implementation progress and highlight how the agency’s projects and programs are evolving to meet climate challenges. The latest report, published for Fiscal Years 2024 and 2025, highlights the adoption of a long-term water demand guidance through the Water Supply Master Plan 2050 in November 2025; the approval of a potable/drinkable water reuse goal of up to 24,000 AFY by 2035; and on-going projects to ensure a safe and reliable long-term water supply.

3.4 SERVICE AREA POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHICS
The City is a growing community with over 2 percent of the Santa Clara County population residing within the City limits. Department of Finance records estimate the 2025 population of Morgan Hill at 46,702.

3.4.1 Service Area Population
California Water Code
10631 (a) Describe the service area of the supplier, including current and projected population …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.

California Water Code
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.
10633 The plan shall provide, to the extent available, information on recycled water...and shall include all of the following:
(e) The projected use of recycled water within the supplier’s service area at the end of 5, 10, 15, and 20 years, and a description of the actual use of recycled water in comparison to uses previously projected pursuant to this subdivision...

The city-wide projected potable water demands by water use type through the year 2050 are summarized in Table 4-2, and the demands include estimated future water savings from active conservation activities (Table 4-3). To calculate the total projected potable water demand through the UWMP planning horizon of 2050, the City’s 2020 urban water use target of 159 gallons per capita per day (gpcd) was applied to the projected population.

Page 491 of 664 ends

4.2.4 Passive Water Savings
Passive water savings include water use reduction that results from codes, standards, ordinances, and other plans (Table 4-4). These various sources of water savings typically result from state or regional requirements or guidelines, which are then implemented by the City. Examples of these codes and ordinances are as follows:

Page 492 of 664 ends

May 2026 4-5 City of Morgan Hill
2025 Urban Water Management Plan
• Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO): In 2015, DWR was tasked with updating the MWELO to increase water efficiency standards for new and retrofitted landscapes. This includes encouragement in the use of more efficient irrigation systems, greywater usage, and onsite stormwater capture.
• California Energy Commission Title 20: This includes appliance standards for toilets, urinals, faucets, and showerheads. These standard impacts both new construction and replacement fixtures in existing homes.
• CALGreen Building Code: The code requires residential and non-residential water efficiency and conservation measures for new buildings and structures. • California's AB 1572 (2023): AB 1572 prohibits using potable water on nonfunctional turf (such as decorative grass not used for recreation) in phases, and between 2027 to 2031.

The ban starts with state/local government on January 1, 2027, moves to commercial/institutional in 2028, and then homeowners associations (HOAs) in January 1, 2029. Compliance self-certifications for large properties start on January 1, 2030.

City staff have been proactively updating water conservation and water waste measures, and including the removal of non-functional turf throughout the city during previous drought years. This effort has continued ever since. In 2023, Ordinance No. 2342 (Appendix__) went into effect and which updates the water waste regulations to prohibit use of potable water on non-functional turf.

These city measures will be further bolstered by upcoming state requirements and regulations including AB 1572 prohibitions, reducing turf in commercial and homeowners associations.

For planning purposes, it is assumed that these passive water savings will result in up to a five percent reduction in water use, and were incorporated in the demand projections shown in Table 4-2.

4.2.5 Active Conservation Program Savings
While the demand projections included on Table 4-2 accounted for passive water savings, as discussed in the previous section, the City is taking a more conservative approach and excluding future active conservation savings, which are usually achieved through the programs and

Page 493 of 664 ends

May 2026 4-6 City of Morgan Hill
2025 Urban Water Management Plan
activities implemented by the City as part of its water conservation program. The City’s water conservation programs and demand management measures are discussed in detail in Chapter 9 – Demand Management Measures. Active savings that are part of previous conservation efforts and reflected in historical demands, are also reflected in the projections. Only additional active savings are excluded.

4.2.6 Water Use for Lower Income Households
California Water Code
10631.1 (a) The water use projections required by Section 10631 shall include projected water use for single-family and multifamily residential housing needed for lower income households, as defined in Section 50079.5 of the Health and Safety Code, as identified in the housing element of any city, county, or city and county in the service area of the supplier.
10631.1 (b) It is the intent of the Legislature that the identification of projected water use for single-family and multifamily residential housing for lower income households will assist a supplier in complying with the requirement under Section 65589.7 of the Government Code to grant a priority for the provision of service to housing units affordable to lower income households.

California Health and Safety Code
50079.5 (a) “Lower income households” means persons and families whose income does not exceed the qualifying limits for lower income families… In the event the federal standards are discontinued, the department shall, by regulation, establish income limits for lower income households for all geographic areas of the state at 80 percent of area median income, adjusted for family size and revised annually.

SB 1087 (Florez, 2005) amended the UWMPA to require urban water suppliers to include singlefamily and multi-family residential units for lower-income households, as identified by the City, County, or both, within the service area of the provider. As part of the City’s 2035 General Plan, an updated Housing Element was released, providing the number of lower-income housing units allocated through 2023. According to the Housing Element, 46 percent of the Regional Housing Needs Allocations (RHNA) must be affordable to lower-income households. The projected residential water demands presented in Table 4-2 reflect this allocation for lower-income households.

4.2.7 Climate Change Considerations
California Water Code
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.
10635 (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.

Page 494 of 664 ends

May 2026 4-7 City of Morgan Hill
2025 Urban Water Management Plan
Based on the City’s location and current climate, the most significant changes include rising average temperature, more intense storm events, and extended periods of drought. While the precise effects of climate change on water demand remain uncertain, increased temperatures and extended drought periods are expected to influence water consumption. According to the Valley Water 2020 UWMP, a preliminary climate study indicates that the average annual maximum temperature in Santa Clara County could rise by 2.0°F by 2050, while precipitation is expected to continue exhibiting high year-to-year variability, with both very wet and very dry years. Without continued water conservation efforts, these changes in annual temperature and precipitation patterns may lead to higher water demand, particularly for outdoor irrigation and agricultural uses.

4.3 DISTRIBUTIONS SYSTEM WATER LOSSES
California Water Code
10631 (d)(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. 10631 (d)(3)(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. 10631 (d)(3)(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.

4.3.1 Previous Five Years Distribution System Losses
As part of the 2025 UWMP update, urban water suppliers are required to quantify the previous five years’ distribution system water losses in a manner consistent with the American Water Works Association (AWWA) water system balance methodology. The City has completed the required water loss audit worksheet in accordance with the DWR guidelines. Table 4-5 documents the reported water loss information for 2020-2024.

4.3.2 Progress Toward Meeting the Water Loss Performance Standard Pursuant to Water Code Section 10631(d)(3)(C), Retail Suppliers are required to provide data demonstrating whether the Retail Supplier met its State Water Board Water Loss Performance Standard in 23 CCR Section 980 et seq. for each applicable PWS. Submittal Table 4-6 allows for reporting on progress toward meeting the Water Loss Performance Standard.

The Water Loss Performance Standard is not required to be met until 2028; however, California Water Code Section 10631(d)(3)(C) still requires including data in their 2025 UWMPs demonstrating whether the standard is achieved. The City plans to meet its 2028 water loss performance standard by strengthening leak detection and response. The City uses system water audits, enhanced by AMI data, to identify and track losses more accurately. Real-time monitoring through the AquaTrax portal and automated alerts enables quicker repairs and better customer involvement, improving overall efficiency in reducing water loss.

Table 4-6 reflects the current real water loss per unit per day is 54.1, which exceeds the 2028 standard of 21.44. In contrast, the current apparent loss per unit per day is 5.6, significantly below the 2028 standard of 6.3. This comparison suggests that apparent loss is not a primary concern.

However, the elevated real loss warrants further investigation, particularly for potential leaks within the storage system, transmission and distribution mains, and service lines up to and including the meter.

5.0 CHAPTER 5 – WATER CONSERVATION REQUIREMENTS
This chapter includes the City’s per-capita water conservation target requirements (SB X7-7) as calculated in previous UWMPs and monitors compliance in accordance with the Water Code. As California built the Urban Water Use Objective (UWUO) framework on top of the conservation goals from SB X7-7, using it as a benchmark and requiring suppliers’ overall objectives to go beyond the older 20% by 2020 target to ensure ongoing water conservation efforts.

5.1 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR RETAIL SUPPLIERS
California Water Code
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. 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.

5.1.1 2020 Target & Historical Per Capita Use
The need for additional supply sources or storage to accommodate future growth is typically evaluated using historical per capita water consumption, and which is expressed in gallons per capita per day (gpcd), and defines as follows:
• Gallons Per Capita Per Day (GPCD), as used in UWMP calculations, represents the total water use within a service area divided by the population. It measures daily per-person water use in gallons.

The future requirements of the supply source are then estimated by applying the per capita consumption rate, expressed in gallons per capita per day (gpcd), to the projected population.

Figure 5-1 presents the City's historical water use per capita in gpcd and the 2020 water use target.

Chapter Focus
The purpose of the SB X7-7 Baseline, 2020 Targets, and 2025 Reporting chapter in the City’s 2025 UWMP is to document the City’s progress toward achieving its urban water-use efficiency targets, in accordance with California Water Code Section 10608.40. This chapter provides the framework for meeting UWMP reporting requirements, with detailed calculation methods and considerations for establishing SB X7-7 baselines, targets, and compliance values.

Page 498 of 664 ends

May 2026 5-2 City of Morgan Hill
2025 Urban Water Management Plan
The City’s average water use was 192 gpcd from 1995 to 2000 and remained relatively steady at approximately 200 gpcd from 2001 to 2010. Conservation efforts successfully reduced per capita water consumption to 123 gpcd in 2015 and 150 gpcd in 2020.

May 2026 6-4 City of Morgan Hill
2025 Urban Water Management Plan
• Coyote Valley Subarea: The Santa Clara subbasin of the Santa Clara Valley Groundwater Basin (Subbasin 2-009.02). Due to different land use and management characteristics, Valley Water further divides the Santa Clara subbasin into two separate subareas, the Santa Clara Plain and the Coyote Valley. The City extracts water from the Coyote Valley subarea of the Santa Clara subbasin.

The subbasin and subarea divisions help better define the aquifer below the City. These subbasins are interconnected and help filter, transmit, and store water and can also be further defined by the aquifer characteristics, such as confinement and soil properties.

The Llagas subbasin and the Coyote Valley subarea are monitored and addressed by Valley Water. The November 2025 Groundwater Condition Report from Valley Water indicates that groundwater levels in index wells during October 2025 ranged from 15 feet lower to 1 foot higher compared with October 2024 levels. The report also states that groundwater pumping in September 2020 was 100% to 107% of the five-year average. In contrast, managed recharge in October 2025 reached 114% to 133% of the five-year average across both subbasins.

6.2.1.2 Basin Boundaries
The City lies atop the boundary between the Llagas subbasin and the Coyote Valley subarea of the Santa Clara subbasin, with Cochrane Road being the approximate boundary line. Wells north of Cochrane Road pump water from the Coyote Valley subarea, while wells to the south pump from the Llagas subbasin.

The Llagas Subbasin is 15 miles long, 3 miles wide along with the northern bounds, and tapers out to approximately 6 miles along the Pajaro River boundary. The subbasin has confined and unconfined portions within its boundary. At approximately 74 square miles, the confined area protrudes to the north from the Pajaro River, with a thick clay layer binding the subbasin to approximately Church Creek. The extreme east-west portions, as well as north of Church Creek, are generally categorized as the unconfined portion of the Llagas Subbasin.

The Coyote Valley subarea is approximately 7 miles long, beginning at Metcalf Road and ending at Cochrane Road, and is approximately 2 miles wide. The approximate surface area of the Coyote Valley is 15 square miles. The Coyote Valley has the general characteristics of an unconfined subbasin, with no clay confining layers, and normally drains to the Santa Clara Plain subarea of the Santa Clara subbasin.

6.2.1.3 Groundwater Quality
Drinking water standards follow Title 22 as set forth by the State of California Code of Regulations, in conjunction with the Environmental Protection Agency, to monitor the quality of potable water. The City currently monitors its supply wells and the Vally Water monitors groundwater in Santa Clara County.

Page 504 of 664 ends

May 2026 6-5 City of Morgan Hill
2025 Urban Water Management Plan
According to the Valley Water 2024 Annual Groundwater Report, the quality of the South County groundwater, which includes the Llagas subbasin and the Coyote Valley subarea, is generally of high quality. The District reports median nitrate levels for the Llagas and Coyote Valley groundwater as 5.2 mg/L and 5.3 mg/L. Valley Water reports median total dissolved solid levels for the Llagas and Coyote Valley groundwater as 407 mg/L and 401 mg/L.

One of the primary contaminants of note in the City is perchlorate, originally identified in the 2010 UWMP. The primary source of perchlorate contamination was identified as the Olin Chemical Corporation highway safety flare plant. At one point, the plume of perchlorate in groundwater was nearly ten miles long but has been getting smaller and approximately extends from Tennant Avenue to the San Martin Airport, according to previous studies prepared by Valley Water.

6.2.2 Groundwater Management

Valley Water prepared a Groundwater Management Plan report published in 2021 (2021 GMP) as an alternative to the Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP). The 2021 GMP delineates the role of Valley Water as groundwater managers within the County, as well as provides details of the basins to which the District maintains. The following are excerpts taken from the Executive Summary section of the 2021 GMP. It should be noted that Valley Water was previously known as Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD), which is reflected in the excerpts below.

Nearly half of the water used in Santa Clara County (County) is pumped from the Santa Clara and Llagas subbasins, with some communities relying solely on groundwater. For over 90 years, the Santa Clara Valley Water District (District) has managed groundwater in the county per statutory authority provided by the Santa Clara Valley Water District Act (District Act). The District’s comprehensive groundwater management programs and investments have resulted in sustainable groundwater conditions for many decades, and will ensure groundwater resources are sustainable far into the future.

May 2026 6-6 City of Morgan Hill
2025 Urban Water Management Plan
This 2021 Groundwater Management Plan (GWMP) describes the Valley Water’s comprehensive groundwater management framework, including existing and potential actions to achieve basin sustainability goals and ensure continued sustainable groundwater management. The GWMP covers the Santa Clara and Llagas subbasins, located entirely in Santa Clara County and identified by the Department of Water Resources (DWR) as Basins 2‐9.02 and 3‐3.01, respectively.

This 2021 GWMP is prepared pursuant to authority granted by the District Act and supersedes all previous Groundwater Management Plans. The 2021 GWMP also satisfies the objectives of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA).

SGMA was enacted by the state legislature in 2014, and subsequent Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) Emergency Regulations have resulted in statewide requirements for basins designated as medium and high priority basins by DWR. In the basins designated by DWR as medium and high priority, local public agencies and Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) are required to develop and implement GSPs or alternatives to GSPs (Alternative Plans). DWR has identified the Santa Clara and Llagas subbasins as high‐priority basins and are not critically overdrafted basins.

Prior to the statutory deadline of January 1, 2017, Valley Water submitted the 2016 GWMP for both the Santa Clara and Llagas subbasins to DWR as an Alternative Plan. The 2016 GWMP updated technical information from Valley Water’s 2012 GWMP with information functionally equivalent to elements required by Articles 5 and 7 of the GSP Emergency Regulations. The 2016 GWMP met the requirements of California Water Code (Water Code) Section 10733.6, which allows for an Alternative Plan to be submitted to DWR. The 2016 GWMP, prepared pursuant to the District Act, qualified as an Alternative Plan per Water Code Section 10733.6(b)(1), which states that an Alternative Plan can be a plan developed pursuant to other law authorizing groundwater management. This 2021 GWMP is also prepared pursuant to the District Act.

6.2.2.2 Integrated Water Resource Plan
The objective of the Integrated Water Resource Plan (IWRP) is to develop a comprehensive and flexible water supply plan for the County through the year 2040. The IWRP incorporates community input and is capable of responding to changing water supply and demand conditions.

The IWRP Preferred Strategy aims to maximize the Districts flexibility to meet actual water demands, and where they match water projections. It relies on practices, such as water banking, recycled water, demand management, and water transfers. It further relies on “core elements” designed to validate baseline planning assumptions, monitor or evaluate resource options, and help meet planning objectives.

6.2.3 Overdraft Conditions
The Santa Clara Valley Groundwater Basin is not an adjudicated groundwater basin. According to the DWR 2016 updated Bulletin 118, the Santa Clara Valley Groundwater Basin and GilroyHollister Valley Groundwater Basin are not in a condition of overdraft. In order to reduce the risk of groundwater basin overdraft, a recharge system has been developed by Valley Water.

SCRWA currently operates and maintains the regional wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) south of the City under an agreement with Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. and treats an average dry weather flow of approximately 6.5 million gallons per day (mgd). SCRWA also updated its facilities to increase the recycled water production capacity from 3 mgd to 9 mgd.

As demand for recycled water continues to increase, SCRWA intends to increase capacity to accommodate these flows. Currently, SCRWA and Valley Water plan to recycle all wastewater flows coming into the plant.

6.5.3 Recycled Water System
The South County Recycled Water System was initially constructed in 1977. In 1999 the system was improved, and consistent recycled water deliveries began in the City of Gilroy. Currently, the recycled water system serves users within the City of Gilroy service area as well as agricultural uses outside the service area. There is no existing infrastructure to convey recycled water to Morgan Hill. However, ongoing planning efforts are evaluating options for the use of recycled water within the City’s service area, as described in the following section.

6.5.4 Current, Potential, and Projected Recycled Water Uses This section documents the description of the quantity of current, potential and projected recycled water uses within their service area. In addition to California Water Code 10633 (b), (d) and (e), California Code of Regulations below provides the definition of the term direct beneficial use.

6.5.4.1 Current and Planned Uses of Recycled Water
There is currently no recycled water delivered within the City’s service area; however, there have been several studies completed that reviewed the possibility of developing recycled water as a source of supply. In March 2016, the Recycled Water Feasibility Evaluation (RWFE) was prepared as part of the 2015 South County Recycled Water Master Plan Update (2015 South County RWMP). The RWFE identified potential recycled water users (Figure 6-3) through a market assessment, which identified potential future uses of recycled water in the City such as landscape irrigation, agricultural irrigation, and industrial processes. However, due to project implementation costs, recycled water use was not considered a feasible source of supply in the 2015 UWMP.

In October 2020, Valley Water published the Final Draft Countywide Water Reuse Master Plan (CoRe Plan). This report is intended to identify opportunities to expand water reuse throughout Valley Water’s service area, including the City of Morgan Hill. The expansion of water reuse will thus increase water supply reliability and water supply self-reliance within the County.

The CoRe Plan accounts for up to 2.6 mgd of recycled water use within the City’s service area by the year 2045. This recycled water use volume is based on estimates originally prepared as part of the 2015 South County RWMP. The CoRe Plan indicates that the feasibility of recycled water deliveries within the City’s service area increases when considered in the context of an integrated countywide plan. The CoRe Plan identified three alternatives (options) for water reuse related to the City of Morgan Hill, which are briefly described as follows:
• Option 1 – Recycled Water Distribution
This option includes importing recycled water supplies from South Bay Water Recycling (SBWR) via a six-mile pipeline extension between the City and the SBWR system to the north. This SBWR transmission main would connect to a future recycled water distribution system.
• Option 2 – Groundwater Recharge
This option includes recharging the Llagas subbasin with purified water, which would be produced at a satellite WWTP constructed to treat the City’s wastewater. This purified water would be conveyed to ponds within the City’s service area.

The urban water supplier shall include a detailed description of expected future projects and programs that the urban water supplier may implement to increase the amount of the water supply available to the urban water supplier in normal and single dry water years and for a period of drought lasting five consecutive water years. The description shall identify specific projects and include a description of the increase in water supply that is expected to be available from each project. The description shall include an estimate with regard to the implementation timeline for each project or program.

As discussed in previous sections the City’s sole source of potable water is groundwater. As such, the only method available to provide additional capacity for growing demand is the construction of new wells, and there are no additional types of imminent water projects the City plans to implement, as indicated on Table 6-7.

The City’s total capacity is approximately 18,600 afy, and its firm capacity, calculated as the total capacity excluding the largest well, is approximately 16,700 afy. The existing firm capacity is capable of meeting the City’s current demands and no imminent water supply projects are planned currently. In 2024, the City’s active groundwater wells supplied approximately 2.35 billion gallons, equivalent to ~7,210 AFY, to about 15,163 active water service connections. However, as the City continues to grow, additional groundwater wells will be constructed as needed.

6.10 CLIMATE CHANGE CONSIDERATIONS
Ongoing impacts of climate change not only influence demand throughout the City’s service area but also affect Valley Water’s role as the local Groundwater Sustainability Agency for Santa Clara County, which includes the City’s service area. While the City currently uses groundwater as its sole source of supply, Valley Water’s complete supply portfolio includes multiple sources such as groundwater, surface water, imported water, exchanges, and recycled water. The following section summarizes the water supply impacts documented in the Valley Water 2020 UWMP, which have a direct or indirect effect on the City’s groundwater supplies. • Decreases in the quantity of imported water supplies. Potential reductions in imported water allocations or winter runoff volumes due to lower snowpack levels may decrease the amount of water available for import.
• Decreases in the ability to utilize local surface water supplies. Changes in the timing and intensity of rainfall and runoff may change the ability of Valley Water to capture and use local surface water.
• Increases in irrigation and cooling water demands. Higher temperatures will increase irrigation demands for agricultural, residential, and non-residential uses. • Decreases in water quality. Increases in algal blooms, turbidity, or salinity in water supplies due to changes in temperature, wildfire occurrence, or flow patterns will potentially reduce the quality of various water supplies. • Increases in the severity and duration of droughts. A combination of increased demands and reduced supplies during dry years will require proactive water supply

The above conditions will challenge the water resource management efforts of the City and Valley Water. The City will continue to rely on the climate change impact planning efforts being coordinated by Valley Water, which will evaluate the overall water supply portfolio and not just the City’s groundwater basins. Valley Water is currently analyzing climate impacts on existing and future water supply and preparing a climate change study.

6.11 ENERGY INTENSITY
California Water Code
10631.2.(a) In addition to the requirements of Section 10631, an urban water management plan shall include any of the following information that the urban water supplier can readily obtain:
(1) An estimate of the amount of energy used to extract or divert water supplies. (2) An estimate of the amount of energy used to convey water supplies to the water treatment plants or distribution systems.
(3) An estimate of the amount of energy used to treat water supplies. (4) An estimate of the amount of energy used to distribute water supplies through its distribution systems.
(5) An estimate of the amount of energy used for treated water supplies in comparison to the amount used for nontreated water supplies.
(6) An estimate of the amount of energy used to place water into or withdraw from storage. (7) Any other energy-related information the urban water supplier deems appropriate.

As part of the 2025 UWMP update, California Water Code requires a general estimate of the amount of energy used to extract and convey water supplies. Due to the limitation of available utility bills or other energy use data, the City’s energy intensity is estimated based on well and booster station pump horsepower and estimated annual runtimes. The City’s estimated energy intensity is reported in Appendix B as part of the DWR standardized tables.

7.0 CHAPTER 7 – WATER SERVICE RELIABILITY ASSESSMENT
This chapter assesses the reliability of the City’s water supply under normal conditions, singleyear dry conditions, and consecutive five-year dry conditions. The assessment includes a comparison of water use versus expected water supply through 2050, and includes the Drought Risk Assessment.

7.1 CONSTRAINTS ON WATER SOURCES CONSIDERATIONS
California Water Code
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. 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.

As discussed in previous sections, groundwater is the City’s sole existing and planned water supply source. The potential constraints affecting the City’s water supply are summarized below.

7.1.1 Legal Factors
The City’s only source of supply is groundwater extracted from the Llagas subbasin of the GilroyHollister Groundwater Basin and the Coyote Valley subarea of the Santa Clara subbasin, which is Chapter Focus
This chapter focuses on integrating the City’s water supply portfolio with its water use characterization. This integration brings together the UWMP elements into a succinct synopsis that depicts the City’s water service reliability. The reliability assessments highlight the incongruencies, if any, between the City’s water supplies and customer’s water demands, and influence the development of the City’s DRA described in this chapter and the WSCP described in a later chapter.

The DRA is a specific planning action that assumes the City is experiencing a drought over the next five years and addresses the City’s reliability in the context of presumed drought conditions.

Together, the WSRA, DRA, and WSCP allow the City to have a comprehensive picture of its short-term and long-term water service reliability and to identify the tools to address any perceived or actual shortage conditions.

2025 Urban Water Management Plan
part of the Santa Clara Valley Groundwater Basin. These groundwater basins and subbasins are not adjudicated, and no current legal constraints are expected to limit the availability of groundwater supply.

7.1.2 Environmental Factors
Environmental concerns may arise during the water planning process when a project’s potential impacts on the ecosystem are considered. Such concerns can lead to supply limitations through the enforcement of environmental regulations. However, the City’s groundwater sources are not expected to be limited by any environmental factors.

7.1.3 Water Quality Factors
Water quality factors that could affect supply availability include contamination from biological or chemical constituents. The primary water quality concerns that could potentially affect the City are perchlorate, and nitrate. To estimate the potential impact of water quality contamination on supply, the analysis assumes that the highest capacity well would be unavailable for use. Under this assumption, the City’s supply capacity would be reduced by approximately 2,400 acre-feet per year (AFY).

7.1.4 Climatic Factors
Groundwater levels in the Llagas subbasin and the Coyote Valley subarea fluctuate in response to rainfall, leading to variability in water levels during periods of above- or below-average precipitation. Inconsistent water levels during drought conditions may affect the City’s water supply availability. To mitigate these impacts, Valley Water, in coordination with the City and other member agencies, has implemented a series of measures designed to reduce the effects of drought and other climate-related factors on the water supply. These measures are summarized below. Additional considerations regarding the potential impacts of climate change on the City’s water supply and demand are discussed in previous sections. • Groundwater Recharge System: To maintain groundwater levels, Valley Water imports raw water and operates a managed recharge system. This facility-based recharge system contributes a portion of the total groundwater recharge within the basins overseen by Valley Water.
• Imported Water Connections: Valley Water provides water for recharge using supplies from the State Water Project and the federal Central Valley Project. Drought and other climate-related factors may reduce the volume of water available through these imported sources.

7.2 WATER SERVICE RELIABILITY ASSESSMENT
California Water Code
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.

7.2.1 WSRA Year-Type Characterization
This section outlines the annual water supply year-types, and the data sources used to evaluate supply.

Types of Years
This section discusses the types of years
considered in the evaluation of water supply
reliability, summarized in Table 7-1 on the
following page. The conditions are as follows:
• Normal Year – The normal year, as it
pertains to supply, is based on an
averaged range of hydrologic years
representing the historical median runoff
(1922-2025).
• Single Dry Year – The single dry year, as
it pertains to water supply, is defined as
the year that represents the lowest historical water supply availability (1977). • Five Consecutive Dry Year – Multiple dry years can significantly impact the water supply system by reducing local and statewide reservoir levels and lowering groundwater levels.

Available supply under these conditions is based on the minimum historical yields calculated as a five-year running average. The five-consecutive-year drought, as it pertains to water supply, is defined as the period of the driest five-year historical water supply availability (1988-1992).

NOTES: Volumes available are based on supplies anticipated to be available in 2030. Supply availability will vary with the demand year.

Sources for Water Data
Historical rainfall data sources listed in the DWR guidebook, including the National Weather Service website operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), California Irrigation Management Information System (CIMIS) website, and the Western Regional Climate Center (WRCC) website, were consulted and analyzed to establish the basis for a normal year, a single dry year, and a five-consecutive-year drought for the City.

The groundwater data was obtained from the Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD) Groundwater Sustainability Plan.

7.2.2 WSRA Supply and Demand Comparison
During extended drought periods, city-wide water use patterns are expected to change. Outdoor water use may initially increase as irrigation compensates for reduced rainfall; however, these potential increases can be partially mitigated through enhanced water conservation measures.

In accordance with California Water Code Section 10635(a), urban water suppliers must evaluate the reliability of their water service by comparing available water supplies with projected water demands over a 20-year planning horizon in five-year increments. This assessment considers water supply availability under three hydrologic conditions: a normal water year, a single dry water year, and a drought lasting five consecutive dry years.

The water supply available to the City under different hydrologic conditions is summarized in Table 7-1. Normal-year supply is based on estimated natural groundwater recharge for the Llagas Subbasin and Coyote Valley Subarea, as documented in the Valley Water 2021 Groundwater Management Plan. For conservative planning, percentages of normal-year supply are applied to estimate available supply during single-dry and multiple-dry water years.

7.2.2.2 Supply and Demand Comparison – Single Dry Year
During a single dry year, groundwater recharge and overall water supply are expected to decrease due to reduced precipitation. The available supply is estimated by applying a single dryyear percentage of normal-year recharge for the subbasins. Water demand patterns may shift during dry conditions, with outdoor irrigation potentially increasing, though conservation measures help mitigate these increases. Comparing this reduced supply with projected demand allows assessment of the City’s ability to maintain reliable water service under short-term drought conditions. Table 7-3 presents the City’s total projected demand alongside the reduced supply under single-year conditions.

7.2.2.3 Supply and Demand Comparison – Five Consecutive Dry Years A drought lasting five consecutive dry years represents a more severe scenario with prolonged reductions in groundwater recharge. For this condition, the available supply is estimated as a lower percentage of the normal-year recharge to account for the cumulative effects of multiple dry years. Comparing this long-term reduced supply with projected demand helps identify potential shortages and informs planning for drought response and water conservation measures. Table 7-4 summarizes the City’s total projected demand alongside the long-term reduced supply.

2025 Urban Water Management Plan

7.2.3 WSRA Description of Management Tools and Options
California Water Code
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.

To reduce the strain on groundwater resources during prolonged droughts, the City has developed a Water Shortage Contingency Plan to prevent water waste and encourage conservation within the community.

The City’s supply reliability depends on the rate of available recharge to the groundwater subbasins beneath the City. Valley Water imports raw water through the State Water Project and the federal Central Valley Project to recharge the groundwater subbasins it manages, including the Llagas Subbasin and the Coyote Valley subarea of the Santa Clara Valley Subbasin. During drought periods, imported water supplies may be reduced or unavailable, decreasing the amount of recharge to the groundwater basins. In times of water shortage, Valley Water coordinates with cities extracting from these basins to minimize overdraft and subsidence.

When regional supply reliability is at risk, Valley Water typically calls on cities to reduce water use through voluntary and mandatory conservation measures. At the same time the City will advocate with Valley Water to also work directly with non-municipal users, such as Great Oaks in the Coyote subbasin and agricultural users in the Llagas subbasin to ensure their water use is reduced during drought conditions, as non-municipal users are an equally important partner in water conservation.

In addition, the Cities of Morgan Hill and Gilroy have collaborated with Valley Water to explore opportunities for expanding recycled water use. The 2024 South County Recycled Water Master Plan Update provides a capacity analysis and presents improvement alternatives for the existing distribution system located in the City of Gilroy, while also summarizing recycled water options for the City of Morgan Hill.

Furthermore, during drought conditions, Valley Water anticipates that the City will rely on groundwater reserves. Historical groundwater monitoring in the Llagas Subbasin indicates stable groundwater levels even during multiple-year droughts. Through the implementation of conjunctive use programs, Valley Water has maintained well-managed groundwater levels in the Llagas Subbasin. As a result, this subbasin is considered a reliable water supply source during shortages. Although pumping may temporarily exceed recharge during droughts, basin management practices have prevented long-term adverse impacts.

7.3 DROUGHT RISK ASSESSMENT
California Water Code

Page 531 of 664 ends

May 2026 7-13 City of Morgan Hill
2025 Urban Water Management Plan
10612 “Drought Risk Assessment” means a method that examines water shortage risks based on the driest five-year historic sequence for the agency’s water supply, as described in subdivision (b) of Section 10635. 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 five-year 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.

As part of the 2025 UWMP, the California Water Code requires urban water suppliers to develop a Drought Risk Assessment (DRA). The DRA is a planning exercise that evaluates the potential impacts on available water supply if a five-year drought were to occur immediately following its preparation. As with the supply and demand assessment described in the previous section, the DRA focuses exclusively on the effects of a five-year drought. It also accounts for the influence of the City’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan on both available supply and total demand. Overall, the DRA provides a proactive review to prepare the City for a worst-case water supply scenario in the near term.

7.3.1 DRA Data, Methods, and Basis for Water Shortage Conditions The DRA assesses the impact on available water supply over the course of a five-year drought.

Since the City’s only water supply source is groundwater, the same data and methodology used to prepare the supply and demand assessment through 2050, as described in the preceding section, can be applied for the DRA.

For conservative planning purposes, the DRA assumes an unconstrained demand condition within the City’s service area, meaning that no additional demand management measures or water use reductions are applied beyond the City’s year-round prohibitions. This approach allows the DRA to determine whether further water use reductions, as outlined in the Water Shortage Contingency Plan, may be necessary. It should also be noted that the Valley Water 2020 UWMP applies a similar unconstrained demand condition in its planning, which encompasses the City’s service area.

7.3.2 DRA Individual Water Source Reliability
The DRA water supply and demand comparisons are presented in Table 7-5, which indicates that available groundwater supplies are expected to be able to meet the projected demands through the year 2030 should a five-year drought occur.

The City’s DRA assumes that available groundwater supply is equivalent to the rate of natural groundwater recharge. Reductions in supply volumes during the five-year drought are applied to account for the effects of consecutive dry years. The available water supply volumes for each source are documented as follows:
• Llagas Subbasin: The available supply volume for the City of Morgan Hill during a normal water year is assumed to equal the proportional rate of natural groundwater recharge as established by Valley Water.

During normal year, this amount is equal to 7,342 AF in 2030 as documented on Table 6-9 for the Llagas subbasin. During a five-year drought, this supply is increased from 7,278 AF to 9,429 AF in 2030 and resulting with a supply surplus as summarized on Table 7-5. • Coyote Valley Subarea of the Santa Clara Subbasin: For the Coyote Valley subarea during a normal year, the available water supply is equal to 1,567 AF in 2030 as documented on Table 6-9. During a five-year drought, this supply is increased from 1,553 AF to 2,012 AF in 2030 and resulting with a supply surplus as summarized on Table 7-5.

As shown in Table 7-5, the City’s total available water supply ranges from 8,831 AF to 11,441 AF.

7.3.3 DRA Total Water Supply and Use Comparison
The City’s DRA is summarized in Table 7-5. Based on assumptions for available supplies consistent with prior planning efforts and considering an unconstrained demand condition, the DRA indicates that the City will be able to meet projected water demands under a fiveconsecutive-year drought beginning in 2026. At this point in time, no water shortage declarations or shortage response actions are required to be implemented.

8.0 CHAPTER 8 – WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLAN
This chapter presents the City's Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP), a required framework for responding to water shortages through standardized conservation stages, response actions, and emergency supply interruption procedures.

8.1 WATER SUPPLY RELIABILITY ANALYSIS
California Water Code
10632.3 It is the intent of the Legislature that, upon proclamation by the Governor of a state of emergency under the California Emergency Services Act (Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 8550) of Division 1 of Title 2 of the Government Code) based on drought conditions, the board defer to implementation of locally adopted water shortage contingency plans to the extent practicable.
10632 (a)(1) The analysis of water supply reliability conducted pursuant to Section 10635. 10632.5.(a) In addition to the requirements of paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 10632, beginning January 1, 2020, the plan shall include a seismic risk assessment and mitigation plan to assess the vulnerability of each of the various facilities of a water system and mitigate those vulnerabilities.

The City currently relies solely on groundwater, with supply wells extracting water from the Llagas Subbasin and the Coyote Valley Subarea of the Santa Clara Subbasin. These basins are managed by Valley Water, and the Valley Water 2021 GMP documents the rates of natural recharge for these supply sources. Consistent with prior planning efforts, the City’s Water Supply Chapter Focus
This chapter focuses on the City’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP), a critical tool for proactive and efficient water management during shortages. The WSCP provides a structured framework for monitoring supply conditions, and implementing pre-planned response actions, and minimizing service disruptions. The WSCP defines levels of water shortage, outlines demand reduction measures, and describes the process for conducting an annual supply and demand assessment.

The WSCP prepares the system to address both predictable and unexpected risks, including natural disasters or the failure of a primary water source by establishing tiered demand reduction and supply enhancement measures for events such as earthquakes, fires, floods, or system failures, allowing the City to anticipate challenges and respond effectively. It also addresses communication protocols during shortages, methods for determining compliance and enforcing water use restrictions, discussing financial impacts, and monitoring and reporting the effectiveness of any implemented water demand reduction measures.

May 2026 8-2 City of Morgan Hill
2025 Urban Water Management Plan
Reliability Analysis assumes that the available supply from each subbasin is equal to the rate of natural recharge. The analysis also accounts for the impacts of a single-dry year and a five consecutive dry-year period.

As part of the 2025 UWMP, the City has also prepared a Drought Risk Assessment (DRA), a proactive planning tool designed to prepare the City for potential worst-case water supply conditions. The DRA evaluates the City’s projected water demands over the next five years against estimated available supplies in the event of a five-year drought. The results of the DRA, prepared as part of the 2025 UWMP, indicate that the City has adequate supplies to meet projected demands over the next five years.

Pursuant to the California Water Code, the City’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan also includes a seismic risk assessment, which describes the vulnerability of the Morgan Hill water system facility to earthquakes and other seismic hazards. Details on the Seismic Risk Assessment and Mitigation Plan are provided in a subsequent section of this chapter.

8.2 ANNUAL WATER SUPPLY AND DEMAND ASSESSMENT
California Water Code
10632 (a) Every urban water supplier shall prepare and adopt a water shortage contingency plan as part of its urban water management plan that consists of each of the following elements:
10632 (a)(2) The procedures used in conducting an annual water supply and demand assessment that include, at a minimum, both of the following:
(A) The written decision-making process that an urban water supplier will use each year to determine its water supply reliability.
(B) The key data inputs and assessment methodology used to evaluate the urban water supplier’s water supply reliability for the current year and one dry year, including all of the following:
(i) Current year unconstrained demand, considering weather, growth, and other influencing factors, such as policies to manage current supplies to meet demand objectives in future years, as applicable.
(ii) Current year available supply, considering hydrological and regulatory conditions in the current year and one dry year. The annual supply and demand assessment may consider more than one dry year solely at the discretion of the urban water supplier. (iii) Existing infrastructure capabilities and plausible constraints. (iv) A defined set of locally applicable evaluation criteria that are consistently relied upon for each annual water supply and demand assessment.
(v) A description and quantification of each source of water supply. 10632.1 An urban water supplier shall conduct an annual water supply and demand assessment pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 10632 and, on or before July 1 of each year, submit an annual water shortage assessment report to the department with information for anticipated shortage, triggered shortage response actions, compliance and enforcement actions, and communication actions consistent with the supplier’s water shortage contingency plan. An urban water supplier that relies on imported water from the State Water Project or the Bureau of Reclamation shall submit its annual water supply and demand assessment within 14 days of receiving its final allocations, or by July 1 of each year, whichever is later.

Updates to the California Water Code now require urban water suppliers to prepare an annual water supply and demand assessment (Annual Assessment). The results of this assessment must

Page 536 of 664 ends

May 2026 8-3 City of Morgan Hill
2025 Urban Water Management Plan
be summarized in a report submitted to the DWR by July 1 of each year, with the first report due on July 1, 2022. The purpose of the Annual Assessment is to ensure that water suppliers proactively evaluate available water supplies and demand, while identifying any potential need to implement the Water Shortage Contingency Plan.

It should be noted that the DWR is currently preparing a stand-alone guidance document to provide general procedures for urban water suppliers in completing the Annual Assessment. At this time, the decision-making process and steps for completing the Annual Assessment are preliminary and will be refined once the DWR guidance document is finalized.

8.2.1 Decision Making Process
This section describes the decision-making process for preparing and approving the Annual Assessment each year. The reporting timeline is illustrated in Figure 8-1, and the milestones documented on Table 8-1A.

It should be noted that the Annual Assessment and associated decision-making process will rely on the findings of the Valley Water Annual Assessment, which provides documentation of available water supply information and any County-wide water shortage actions that may be required.

Ongoing
Monitoring and
Review
For most of the year, City staff will continue to monitor and report monthly water production and consumption. This data will be used when preparing the Annual Assessment to compare system-wide water demands year-toyear and to project demands for the following year.

March: Initiate
WSCP Annual
Assessment
City staff will initiate the Annual Assessment process by compiling collected water demand and production data. Other relevant information includes, but is not limited to:
• Land Use/Planning: Changes in land use or the number of building permits, which will be used to estimate demand for the following year.
• Hydrologic Year Review: Review of rainfall and hydrologic conditions over the past year, noting that the City’s wet year typically ends in April.
• Climate Forecast: Consideration of any available climate projections.

The purpose of gathering this information is to assess the various factors affecting water demand across the City’s service area. This analysis will guide projections of water demand for the upcoming year.

April: Review
Available Supply
Information
A preliminary Annual Assessment is usually completed by Valley Water prior to April. City staff will review this document upon its availability and use it as the basis for estimating available water supply for the upcoming year. If necessary, staff will also prepare to implement any water shortage response actions identified by Valley Water.

May: City
Council Review
of Annual
Assessment
The Annual Assessment draft will be presented to the City Council for information and discussion. If the assessment recommends water shortage actions, the City Council will be asked to authorize the implementation of the recommended measures.

8.2.2 Data and Methodologies
This section describes the key data and methodologies used to prepare the Annual Assessment.

This includes historical water supply information, historical and projected water demand, and projected water supply, which the City uses to evaluate their water supply reliability for both a normal and a subsequent dry-year condition.

8.2.2.1 Evaluation Criteria
The primary criteria used in preparing the City’s Annual Assessment are projected water demand and available supply. Available supply information is based on a County-wide review prepared by Valley Water. Demand projections are developed using multiple factors, including historical demand, land use changes, building permits, and historical rainfall. The City will continue to evaluate its Annual Assessment preparation process, and additional criteria may be incorporated if considered appropriate.

8.2.2.2 Water Supply
The City currently relies solely on groundwater as its water supply. The City operates 16 groundwater wells, each of which is monitored with production reported monthly. These monthly production records are used to characterize current water use and to compare with previous years, providing a basis for estimating water production requirements for the upcoming year.

As the Groundwater Sustainability Agency, Valley Water manages water supplies throughout Santa Clara County, including the Llagas Subbasin and Coyote Valley Subarea, which are used by the City for supply. The water supply analysis prepared by Valley Water for its Annual Assessment provides a critical basis for the City’s water supply assumptions, including available supply volumes and any required pumping restrictions.

8.2.2.3 Current Year Unconstrained Customer Demand
Billed water consumption is reported monthly and will be used to characterize the City’s current water use. These records will be compared to the corresponding months of the previous year to

Page 539 of 664 ends

May 2026 8-6 City of Morgan Hill
2025 Urban Water Management Plan
identify significant changes in water use patterns across the City’s service area. In addition, information on recent developments and current building permits will allow City staff to estimate anticipated changes in water demand for the upcoming year.

8.2.2.4 Current Year Available Supply
The Annual Assessment estimates the available water supply for the current year under existing hydrologic conditions, as well as for a potential subsequent dry year. These supply estimates will be based on the Drought Risk Assessment supply estimation methodology documented in a previous chapter of this 2025 UWMP and will also incorporate information from the Valley Water Annual Assessment.

8.2.2.5 Infrastructure Considerations
The Annual Assessment will include a review of ongoing capital projects that may affect the demand and supply projections. Examples of such capital projects include water loss reduction, distribution system expansions to serve growth, or the development of new groundwater wells.

The City’s 2021 Water System Master Plan, and the 2026 planned update, will identify any additional infrastructure considerations to be implemented within the City’s service area.

8.3 WATER SHORTAGE LEVELS
The City has adopted the six standard water shortage levels recommended by DWR, as shown in Table 8-1B. Identifying the appropriate shortage level will be in accordance with the procedures outlined in the Annual Assessment section.

California Water Code
10632 (a)(3)(A) Six standard water shortage levels corresponding to progressive ranges of up to 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 percent shortages and greater than 50 percent shortage. Urban water suppliers shall define these shortage levels based on the suppliers’ water supply conditions, including percentage reductions in water supply, changes in groundwater levels, changes in surface elevation or level of subsidence, or other changes in hydrological or other local conditions indicative of the water supply available for use. Shortage levels shall also apply to catastrophic interruption of water supplies, including, but not limited to, a regional power outage, an earthquake, and other potential emergency events.
10632 (a)(3)(B) An urban water supplier with an existing water shortage contingency plan that uses different water shortage levels may comply with the requirement in subparagraph (A) by developing and including a cross-reference relating its existing categories to the six standard water shortage levels.

For example, if the Annual Assessment identifies a 22% water shortage, the City would be considered in a Severe Drought condition. Based on recommendations from City staff, the City Council has the authority to declare the appropriate conservation level necessary to manage system demands and mitigate the shortage. The City Council may also adjust or terminate a shortage response level as recommended by staff.

The City’s groundwater supply relies on natural recharge from surface water runoff as well as additional recharge provided by Valley Water through imported raw water. During drought periods, when imported water availability is reduced, Valley Water may request cities to limit groundwater pumping to prevent basin overdraft and minimize subsidence. To support these efforts and reduce water consumption citywide, the City maintains a water conservation ordinance that can be invoked to implement water use restrictions.

The City’s conservation ordinance, Ordinance No. 2342, currently establishes permanent water use restrictions and a multi-stage water rationing plan that can be implemented to adjust water use during shortage conditions. Each rationing stage specifies a water demand reduction percentage to be applied to normal water demands. Implementation of the plan depends on the cause, severity, and anticipated duration of the water shortage, and may include a combination of voluntary and mandatory conservation measures to reduce citywide water use. The water shortage stages are summarized in Table 8-1C on the following page.

10632.2 An urban water supplier shall follow, where feasible and appropriate, the prescribed procedures and implement determined shortage response actions in its water shortage contingency plan, as identified in subdivision (a) of Section 10632, or reasonable alternative actions, provided that descriptions of the alternative actions are submitted with the annual water shortage assessment report pursuant to Section 10632.1. Nothing in this section prohibits an urban water supplier from taking actions not specified in its water shortage contingency plan, if needed, without having to formally amend its urban water management plan or water shortage contingency plan.

The City’s WSCP includes shortage response actions that may be implemented during a water shortage. In addition, the City’s municipal code establishes permanent, year-round water use restrictions to minimize water waste. Both the shortage response actions and permanent water use restrictions are summarized in this chapter.

8.4.1 Supply Augmentation
As noted in previous sections, groundwater is the City’s sole source of supply, and there are no known opportunities for direct supply augmentation through exchanges, transfers, or purchase programs. Therefore, supply augmentation actions are not included in the City’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan at this time, as shown in Table 8-2.

The City of Morgan Hill can implement a variety of demand reduction measures as response actions to corresponding water shortage levels. These measures may include restrictions on irrigation and outdoor water use, changes to water rate structures, public education and outreach

Page 544 of 664 ends

May 2026 8-11 City of Morgan Hill
2025 Urban Water Management Plan
efforts, or adjustments to water supply service. Other demand reduction such as infrastructure improvements or the installation of water efficient fixtures are considered long-term water demand reduction strategies and are therefore not included as actions in this Water Shortage Contingency Plan. City staff will continue to evaluate additional demand management approaches, including the potential implementation of Water Offsets for new developments and drought rate structures in the immediate future.

Consumption reduction actions are measures taken by the City to reduce demand within the service area, and usually in response to a declared water shortage or emergency condition. The City’s consumption reduction actions and reduction action matrix, for each shortage level, are summarized in Table 8-3 and Table 8-3A respectively, along with brief descriptions or explanations. Additionally, these consumption reduction actions are further documented in Ordinance 2342 (2023).

8.4.3 Operational Changes
During a water shortage, changes to water system operations may be implemented. These operational changes may include enhanced monitoring and tracking of water use, adjustments to fire hydrant testing frequencies, modifications in maintenance cycles, and expedited repair of water leaks.

8.4.4 Additional Mandatory Restrictions
Additional mandatory restrictions are described in a previous section.

8.4.5 Emergency Response Plan
The City maintains an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), most recently updated in 2025, which provides a framework for addressing catastrophic supply interruptions caused by various hazards, including seismic, geological, wildfire, and flooding events. The plan outlines the actions required by the City before, during, and after an emergency and provides guidance for responding to major emergencies and disasters.

2025 Urban Water Management Plan

8.4.6 Seismic Risk Assessment and Mitigation Plan
California Water Code
10632.5 (a) In addition to the requirements of paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 10632, beginning January 1, 2020, the plan shall include a seismic risk assessment and mitigation plan to assess the vulnerability of each of the various facilities of a water system and mitigate those vulnerabilities. 10632.5 (b) An urban water supplier shall update the seismic risk assessment and mitigation plan when updating its urban water management plan as required by Section 10621.
10632.5 (c) An urban water supplier may comply with this section by submitting, pursuant to Section 10644, a copy of the most recent adopted local hazard mitigation plan or multihazard mitigation plan under the federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-390) if the local hazard mitigation plan or multihazard mitigation plan addresses seismic risk.

In addition to the Emergency Response Plan described in a previous section, the California Water Code requires urban water suppliers to document a locally appropriate multi hazard mitigation plan developed under the federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, that includes documentation of seismic risk assessment. Valley Water developed such a hazard mitigation plan in February 2024.

The City’s service area is included within the boundaries evaluated as part of this mitigation plan.

8.4.7 Shortage Response Action Effectiveness
In addition to documenting demand reduction actions, the 2025 UWMP also estimates the effectiveness of these actions in reducing systemwide demand. The City records water consumption and production on a monthly basis, and this data is used to evaluate the effects of demand reduction actions that have been implemented.

Starting in 2021, the City declared a Water Shortage Level 2, which included the implementation of several demand reduction actions described in a previous section. Based on a comparison of historical monthly production data, it is estimated that systemwide water use was approximately 11 to 20 percent lower during the Level 2 Water Shortage period compared to other years.

Therefore, as documented in Table 8-3, the Level 2 Water Shortage response actions are estimated to achieve a reduction effectiveness of approximately 11 to 20 percent.

8.5 COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS
California Water Code
10632 (a) Every urban water supplier shall prepare and adopt a water shortage contingency plan as part of its urban water management plan consists of each of the following elements:
(5) Communication protocols and procedures to inform customers, the public, interested parties, and local, regional, and state governments, regarding, at a minimum, all of the following:
(A) Any current or predicted shortages as determined by the annual water supply and demand assessment described pursuant to Section 10632.1. (B) Any shortage response actions triggered or anticipated to be triggered by the annual water supply and demand assessment described pursuant to Section 10632.1. (C) Any other relevant communications
