5.3.5 PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) defines a person with a disability as someone who “has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, has a history or record of such an impairment (such as cancer that is in remission), or is perceived by others as having such an impairment (such as a person who has scars from a severe burn).” A person with a disability is at greater risk for housing insecurity, homelessness, and institutionalization, particularly when they lose aging caregivers. Over twelve percent of Oakdale residents (12.6 percent) have a disability 473
City of Oakdale 2023-2031 Housing Element

according to 2022 American Community Survey data, which is similar to the estimated

12.7% of the population within Stanislaus County with a disability. The two most common disabilities in Oakdale are independent living difficulty and ambulatory difficulty.

According to the AFFH Data Viewer, the highest concentration of persons with a disability in Oakdale is in the Northeast Census tract of the City, with approximately 18% of the population having a disability. For all other Census tracts within the City, between 9.7% and 12.8% of the population has a disability.

5.3.6 FAMILIAL STATUS
Data from the American Community Survey indicates that Oakdale has fewer children in female-headed households and a similar share of single adult householders compared to the surrounding area. Oakdale has a slightly higher percentage of married households than the County, with Oakdale at 53% of households and Stanislaus County at 51%.

According to the AFFH Data Viewer, there are no significant concentrations of children in female headed households or single adult householders within the City.

5.3.7 INCOME
Household income is a key determinant of the quality of housing a household is able to access. Lower-income households face barriers to housing affordability when balancing the cost of housing with other necessities. While economic factors alone are not classified as a fair housing concern, the relationship between household income, household composition, race and ethnicity, and other factors can illuminate biases and misconceptions that create fair housing concerns.

5.3.7 POVERTY
Poverty thresholds, as defined by the Census Bureau, vary by household type but remain constant throughout the country and do not correspond to Area Median Income.

Approximately 13.0% of Oakdale residents were determined to be living below the poverty level, more than the 12.1% of San Joaquin County residents 12.2% of Californians in poverty, and less than the 15.1% of Stanislaus County residents.

5.3.8 RACIALLY AND ETHNICALLY CONCENTRATED AREAS OF

POVERTY AND AFFLUENCE
HUD defines census tracts with a majority non-white population (greater than 50 percent) that have either a poverty rate that exceeds 40 percent or is three times the average tract poverty rate for the metro/micro area, whichever threshold is lower, as Racially/Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty (R/ECAPs). There are no R/ECAPs or areas of High Segregation & Poverty in the City of Oakdale.

The City of Oakdale does not contain any Racially Concentrated Areas of Affluence (RCAAs). RCAA refers to a geographic region where a high proportion of affluent individuals of a particular racial or ethnic group predominantly reside. Small portions of an RCAA with a high proportion of White individuals were identified the northern and southernmost areas of Oakdale in 2019, but not classified as an RCAA in the 2022 maps. 478

5.4 DISPARITIES IN ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITY

5.4.1 RESOURCE AREAS
The California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) Opportunity Area Composite Score evaluates the level of resources associated with education, poverty, proximity to employment and economic prospects, pollution levels, and other relevant factors across geographic areas. The final scores are divided into four primary categories: Highest Resource, High Resource, Moderate Resource, and Low Resource. Oakdale is comprised of Moderate, High, and Highest Resource Areas.

Figure 11
TCAC Opportunity Map Composite Score, City of Oakdale, 2024 Source: California State Treasurer, CTCAC/HCD Opportunity Map Several of the jurisdictions of similar geographic size and population surrounding Oakdale also contain areas categorized as Moderate, High, and Highest Resource. A High Resource area contains a high diversity of economic, educational and health and safety resources and amenities that can be associated with high opportunity areas. In contrast to Oakdale, the surrounding jurisdictions of Stockton and Modesto contain a mix of TCAC Opportunity Area Composite Scores.

5.4.2 EDUCATION
Schools in Oakdale are dispersed throughout the City, with each quadrant of the City containing multiple schools. Oakdale High School is located in the Southwest quadrant of the City and there are several preschools and elementary schools located throughout the City. According to the AFFH Data Viewer, each Census Tract is rated with the Highest Education Composite Score.

An indicator of educational outcomes is school district performance. The California School Dashboard is an online tool developed by the California Department of Education to provide a comprehensive and multi-dimensional view of school and district performance. It offers a range of data and information to help parents, educators, and the public evaluate and understand how schools and districts are performing in various areas. According to the California School Dashboard, the Oakdale Joint Unified School District (OJU) serves 5,174 students, of which 52.4 percent are socioeconomically disadvantaged and 11.6% are English Learners. OJU’s student population is predominantly comprised of White students (51.7%), followed by Hispanic students (41.4%).

Oakdale schools serve a significantly lower percentage of socioeconomically disadvantaged students (52.4%) than Stanislaus County (70.9%), and the State (62.7%), as identified in Table 6. Oakdale schools have a significantly higher proportion of white students compared to Stanislaus County and the State, and have a lower proportion of Hispanic Students, compared to the County and State. Oakdale Unified School District generally has a lower proportion of students who are English learners, homeless, foster youth, and socioeconomically disadvantaged than Stanislaus County and the State.

However, Oakdale Unified School District does serve about the same proportion of students with a disability as the State. Stanislaus County Schools serve a much higher proportion of students with a disability than Oakdale and the State.

The data provided in Table 8 delves into the English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics achievement levels within OJU, comparing them against both the Stanislaus County and State of California averages. OJU outperforms the County average in the higher achievement categories of “Standard Exceeded” and “Standard Met” in both subjects.

5.4.3 ACCESS TO A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT
The California Office for Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (COEHHA) released the latest version of CalEnviroScreen in October 2021. Cal EnviroScreen 4.0 is a tool used to identify communities that are disproportionately affected by multiple sources of pollution and environmental hazards. The tool combines various environmental, health, and socioeconomic data to create a screening methodology that helps prioritize resources and actions to address environmental justice concerns. A community within the 75th percentile or above is one with higher levels of pollution and/or has other negative environmental traits and is considered a “disadvantaged community.” As depicted in Figure 12, Oakdale contains three census tracts within the 75th percentile or above. The pollution burden within Oakdale is high, likely due to in part to high rates of pesticide exposure from agricultural uses such as almond groves. The following table includes analysis of the disaggregated scores by Census tract, with five indicators noted as above the 75th percentile (pesticides, solid waste, asthma, cardiovascular disease, and unemployment), and an additional four with scores above the 66th percentile (ozone and lead from housing).

CalEnviroScreen factors indicate areas of disproportionate pollution burden and health impacts among Oakdale residents. The following eight factors were identified as above the 66th percentile, or in the highest third among California Census tracts:
• Ozone – The CalEnviroScreen noted citywide ozone pollution; ozone is generated by the reaction of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) 485
City of Oakdale 2023-2031 Housing Element

in the presence of sunlight. Housing-based mitigation measures can include locating sites away from heavy industrial uses and reduction of urban heat island effect through the use of shade trees and structures in housing site planning and infrastructure improvements.
• Pesticides – High pesticide exposure noted citywide ranging from 83rd to 92nd percentile; program action included to support education for integrated pest management (IPM) strategies in housing landscaping and services. • Lead from Housing – Disproportionate score (67th) in Northwest Oakdale; Neighborhood Improvements Program 3-6 included to support lead testing and mitigation actions in older housing stock including the NW quadrant of the City. • Solid Waste – Citywide high scores (80th to 84th percentile); housing sites are located away from facilities used for the collection, transport, processing, and diversion of waste. For housing-based solutions, see programs to address sensitive populations represented in Oakdale (Asthma and Cardiovascular Disease). • Asthma – The citywide asthma rate was ranked in the 75th percentile; housingbased solutions include promoting the upgrade and maintenance of HVAC systems in new and existing housing near major highways and industrial uses. • Cardiovascular Disease – Cardiovascular disease was pronounced in the CalEnviroScreen scores, with a citywide 94th percentile score. Housing-based solutions include improvement of indoor air quality through the promotion of electric or induction cooking, improved ventilation systems, weatherization and insulation upgrades, and access to grocery stores with healthy food for cardiovascular disease prevention and management.
• Unemployment – High unemployment noted citywide, with highest percentiles in SW Oakdale (91st) and East Oakdale (97th). Program 3-6(C) included to consider accessory commercial units (ACUs) throughout the City to promote small business and economic development in association with the housing stock.

The California Healthy Places Index (HPI) is a tool that measures and assesses the health and well-being of communities across California. The HPI takes into account a wide range of factors such as access to healthcare services, education, housing, economic opportunities, air and water quality, transportation options, and more. By analyzing these factors and assigning scores to different regions, the HPI aims to identify areas with higher levels of health disparities and inform the public about where investments and interventions are needed to improve overall well-being.

Oakdale is within the 48.1 percentile, meaning that Oakdale has healthier community conditions than 48.1 percent of other California Tracts. According to the HPI, Oakdale has higher scores in indicators assessing social (73.0), neighborhood (62.6), housing (59.5), and healthcare access (68.4) conditions, and lower scores in indicators assessing economic (43.7), education (31.3), transportation (13), and clean environment (25.5) conditions. Additionally, Oakdale has a higher score in the indicator measuring housing habitability than the San Joaquin County (30.4) and Stanislaus County (46.4) averages.

The housing habitability indicator is defined as the percent of households with basic kitchen facilities and plumbing.

5.4.5 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND JOB ACCESS
The TCAC Opportunity Maps account depicts differences in access to opportunities between geographic areas. The Economic Domain score factors in various indicators to generate the scores for each census tract or rural block group. These indicators encompass the following aspects: poverty, which measures the proportion of the population with an income level above the 200% of the federal poverty line; adult education, indicating the percentage of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher; employment, considering the percentage of adults aged 20-64 who are engaged in either the civilian labor force or the armed forces; job proximity, which evaluates the number of jobs occupied by individuals without a bachelor's degree within a designated radius of each census tract; and median home value, reflecting the value of owneroccupied housing units.

A score of greater than 0.8, depicted in dark green below, is viewed as a more positive economic outcome. As shown in Figure 15, there are a range of economic outcomes in Oakdale. Northwestern Oakdale has an economic domain score of 0.53. Eastern Oakdale has a score of 0.27, which represents less positive economic outcomes, and southwestern Oakdale has a score of 0.6, representing more positive economic outcomes. Program 3-6 is included to address disparate economic outcomes between block groups and support neighborhood improvements and economic development strategies in the context of the new and existing housing stock.

5.5 DISPROPORTIONATE HOUSING NEEDS AND DISPLACEMENT

5.5.1 COST BURDEN AND SEVERE COST BURDEN
Housing cost burden refers to the proportion of an individual or household's gross income dedicated to housing expenses. It is measured with a threshold of 30 percent for “cost burden” and 50 percent for “severe cost burden,” highlighting the impact of housing costs on a household’s finances. These households are said to be “overpaying” for their housing. Some of the implications of a high cost burden include housing-induced poverty, where overspending on housing leaves households little financial resources for other expenditures, and reduced savings which can impact asset accumulation.

According to the American Community Survey 5-Year Estimate (2018-2022), the median gross rent in Oakdale was $1,393. To rent a typical unit in Oakdale without cost burden, a household would need to have an income of at least $55,720.

Figure 20
Overpayment by Renters, 2021
Source: California Housing and Community Development, AFFH 2.0 Data Viewer Home prices in California have skyrocketed in the last decade; however, most homeowners have mortgages with fixed rates and are therefore less likely to be impacted by market increases. In contrast, renters are subject to rent increases based on market rates and tend to experience more cost-burden. For Oakdale renters in the central and eastern portion of the City, 40-60% are either cost-burdened or severely costburdened. In northeastern Oakdale, less than 40% of homeowners are cost-burdened or severely cost-burdened. However, 40-60% of homeowners in the southeastern and northwestern areas of the City are cost-burdened or severely cost-burdened while less than 40% of renters are cost-burdened or severely cost-burdened in northwestern Oakdale.

A family of four with a household income of $50,550 or less was considered extremely low income (ELI) in 2022. Using the table above, an estimated 90% of ELI renter households are cost burdened and approximately 62% of ELI owner-occupied households are cost burdened.

As identified in Table 10, approximately 27% of owner-occupied households and nearly 50% of renter-occupied households are cost burdened. In 2022, a family of four with a household income of $67,500 or less was considered lower income. Using the table above and assuming half of the households earning between $50,000-$74,999 earn $67,500 or less, an estimated 85% of lower income renter households are cost burdened and 56% of lower income owner-occupied households are cost burdened.

5.5.2 OVERCROWDING
Households where the number of occupants per room falls between 1.01 and 1.5 are considered to be overcrowded. Households with a ratio exceeding 1.51 persons per room are designated as being severely overcrowded. The calculation of persons per room excludes spaces such as bathrooms, porches, foyers, halls, and half-rooms. This method of assessing residential overcrowding not only sheds light on living conditions but 495
City of Oakdale 2023-2031 Housing Element

also holds implications for demographic and socioeconomic contexts. Studies have shown that overcrowding is linked to an elevated risk of contracting communicable diseases, a higher prevalence of respiratory illnesses, and a heightened vulnerability to homelessness. In Oakdale, there are 202 overcrowded units.

5.5.3 SUBSTANDARD HOUSING
As outlined by the U.S. Census, substandard housing issues can be categorized into two types: (1) Residences lacking amenities like hot and cold piped water, a flush toilet, and a bathtub or shower; and (2) Homes where kitchen facilities are deficient, such as the absence of a sink with piped water, a stove or range, or a refrigerator.

5.5.4 DISPLACEMENT
Shifts in neighborhood composition are often framed and perpetuated by established patterns of racial inequity and segregation. Neighborhood change is influenced by three processes: movement of people; public policies; and investments, such as capital improvements, planned transit stops, and flows of private capital. These processes can 498
City of Oakdale 2023-2031 Housing Element

disproportionally impact people of color, as well as lower income households, persons with disabilities, large households, and persons at-risk or experiencing homelessness. They can also cause displacement and homelessness.

Displacement in this case refers to the involuntary relocation of a household due to actions taken by landlords or shifts in the market. Displacement is driven by a combination of increasing housing costs, income inequality, stagnant wages, and an inadequate production of housing at market rates. Decades of disinvestment in lowincome communities can result in rent gaps, or disparities between current rental income and potentially achievable rental income if the property is converted to its most profitable use. Consequently, market forces and speculative investment can contribute to the occurrence of displacement.

The University of California, Berkeley (UCB) Urban Displacement Project Bay Area Model 2020 identifies Oakdale as Lower Displacement Risk for all households. The surrounding areas of Stockton and Modesto are identified as At-Risk of Displacement, Elevated Displacement, and High Displacement for all households. The level of displacement is the same for households across all income levels.

Figure 25
Displacement Risk for All Households, 2022
Source: California Housing and Community Development, AFFH 2.0 Data Viewer Natural disasters can also cause displacement. Figure 24 and Figure 25 identify areas that are at risk of flooding. In Oakdale, there is one area with a 1% Annual Chance Flood Hazard that runs through the northernmost border of the City, which is also known as a 100-year flood or base flood. These floods have a 1 percent chance of being equalled or exceeded in any given year.

5.5.5 HOMELESSNESS
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines homelessness as any “individual or family who lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence,” or an individual whose “primary nighttime residence [is] not designed for or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation… including a car, park, abandoned building, bus or train station, airport, or camping ground.” This also includes those at risk of being homeless, those fleeing domestic violence, those who have no other residence, and those who lack the resources to obtain permanent housing. HUD defines a ‘‘chronically homeless’’ individual as “a homeless individual with a disability [who has been homeless] … continuously for at least twelve (12) months or on at least four (4) separate occasions in the last three (3) years, where the combined occasions total a length of time of at least twelve (12) months.”
In Oakdale, there is no existing emergency shelter housing. Emergency shelters are located in the surrounding jurisdictions of Manteca, Tracy and Modesto.

5.6.3 HOUSING PROGRAMS AND AFFH CONSIDERATIONS
The Housing Programs outlined in Section 2 address a variety of fair housing issues and opportunities, including housing mobility, the provision of new housing opportunities in areas of higher opportunity, place-based strategies for community revitalization, antidisplacement measures, and outreach and enforcement mechanisms to ensure that the City is proactively engaging the community to access these programs. Each program includes metrics that the City will use throughout the planning period to measure its success in affirmatively furthering fair housing.

In order to affirmatively further fair housing, an agency will ensure that actions within its jurisdiction avoid perpetuating patterns of segregation, and actively support integration.

Most programs have citywide geographic targeting designations due to the small size of Oakdale – 23,181 residents as of 2020. Yet in comparison to the region, Oakdale has a comparatively high resource designation, and regional efforts can support the greater Oakdale community moving forward.

The largest employer in Oakdale is
Conagra Brands, Inc., located in
south Oakdale and listed as having
1,000-4,999 employees per the
California Economic Development
Department (EDD). Conagra’s
Oakdale operations primarily focus
on tomato-based canned goods, and
is surrounded in south Oakdale by
related agricultural production.

Agricultural and commercial areas
roughly follow historic trends and
are further defined by the major
thoroughfares running through
Oakdale.

The City remains culturally
significant as the Cowboy Capital of
the World, and the ranching

transit, walking and
biking.

The Housing Element includes
Program 6-3 (Transit-Housing
Balance) with the goal to locate new
housing and transportation
opportunities in proximity to each
other, while improving transit and
multimodal access for residents of
the existing housing stock in
Oakdale.

How do residents without
access to a car travel to
work or to access
resources like medical
care? Is this different
depending on the
industry that residents
work in?
Consistent with suburban
jurisdictions throughout California,
residents without access to a car
may experience higher bus
headways than in urban areas.

Agricultural employees in the
broader region may experience
pronounced difficulty traveling to
work without a personal vehicle due
to decentralized locations.

Any engineering reports
or assessments of capital
improvements? Any
differences between
neighborhoods?
The City’s Capital Improvement Plan
(CIP) prioritizes roadway
deterioration, sidewalk gaps,
drainage deficiencies, accessibility
barriers, and streetscape conditions
in the City’s older neighborhoods.

areas with greater deterioration.

The City’s bike network is primarily
comprised of Class II bicycle lanes on
major arterials like Yosemite
Avenue, F Street, and G Street. Class
I bike infrastructure is primarily
located along the Stanislaus River,
with a Class I path connecting the
downtown to riparian parks from A
Street.

Are there known highcollision corridors or
areas of high traffic on a
regular basis?
State Route 120/Yosemite Avenue is
a major arterial; while it is of
regional significance, the traffic can
be significant at peak hours and
impact the experience of
pedestrians, drivers, and transitriders alike.

Any Safe Routes to
Schools plans or
programs in place?
Where in the community
are sidewalks available or
not available? Any
differences between
neighborhoods?
West F Street is the main arterial
with sidewalk gaps, along with
stretches of Highway 120 in the
City’s more industrial areas. The City
initiated southwest downtown
revitalization projects in 2025 with
the specific goal of improving safer
school access through pedestrian
infrastructure upgrades.

Any major community
facilities and any
differences in access
between neighborhoods?
The Gene Bianchi Community
Center serves as the City’s primary
public gathering facility. The
Stanislaus County Library branch,
also in downtown, is another major
community anchor. Cultural
institutions honoring Oakdale’s
history include the Oakdale Museum
& History Center and Oakdale
Cowboy Museum.

Any differences between

Environment
Any public safety reports
(e.g., water quality,
sewer, circulation)? Any
differences between
neighborhoods?
In addition to transportation and
capital improvement plans, the
City’s Storm Drain Master Plan
assesses storm infrastructure. Older
neighborhoods generally found in
need of most improvement.

Are there known major
sources of pollution in
the area? Where are they
located, if so? This could
include things like
industrial sources,
groundwater
contamination from
agriculture, or lead paint
exposure in older homes.

Are there places where
residential development
should be avoided due to
environmental
conditions, or where
existing environmental
conditions are negatively
effecting residents?
Localized pollution is generally
derived from industrial areas in
south Oakdale. Consistent with the
region, pesticide drift can also be a
broader factor in pollution
generated by agricultural activity.

Due to the industrial concentration
on the south end of Oakdale, the
City’s housing stock is located to the
north, west, and east of the City and
the City’s Housing Sites Inventory
reflects that need as well.

Do any neighborhoods
lack access to parks or
other outdoor spaces?
Are there other notable
community amenities,
and where are they? Any
differences between
neighborhoods in terms
of access?
Parks are located throughout the
City of Oakdale, with limited
disparities in residential
neighborhoods. The industrial areas
of southern Oakdale feature fewer
parks and recreation opportunities,
and the Stanislaus River along the
City’s northern edge is a major asset
with associated parks and recreation
amenities.

Are there any new
subdivisions or new
master planned areas?
Any differences in parks,
other amenities between
neighborhoods?
The City’s Specific Plan Areas include
new subdivisions, generally located
to the southwest and northeast
portions of Oakdale. These include
new parks to support new residents.
511
City of Oakdale 2023-2031 Housing Element

Are there any differences
between neighborhoods
with respect to access to

years. No known significant
disparities by neighborhood.

Any patterns of evictions
or foreclosures between
neighborhoods?
No known disparate patterns of
evictions or foreclosures between
neighborhoods.

Overcrowding
Are there any areas that
are known to have higher
rates of household
overcrowding, such as
"doubling-up" families in
one house? Any
information from code
enforcement officers?
Older neighborhoods surrounding
the City’s central core tend to have
more overcrowding, as supported by
data and anecdotal accounts.

Housing
Conditions
Any areas of the City with
more or less units in need
of rehabilitation and
replacement?
Older neighborhoods surrounding
the City’s central core tend to have a
greater need for rehabilitation and
replacement, as supported by data
and anecdotal accounts.

Any differences in
housing conditions based
on unit types (single
family, multifamily,
mobilehome) and
locations?
Housing conditions are generally
consistent across housing type, and
more closely correlated with age of
structures.

Are there any known
areas where the physical
conditions of housing
suggest a high need for
rehabilitation for safety
or accessibility reasons?
The City has limited homes found in
need of demolition or substantial
rehabilitation for habitability
reasons.

Have there been any

Homeless encampments tend to be
concentrated seasonally along the
Stanislaus River. Services are
generally located within proximity to
the downtown core, and are roughly
accessible though less plentiful than
in larger population centers.

Any programs to provide
emergency rental
assistance? If so, how is
that assistance available?
Any differences between
neighborhoods?
The Stanislaus Regional Housing
Authority previously administered
an Emergency Rental Assistance
Program (ERAP) during the COVID19 pandemic. No known disparities in access by neighborhood.

The City adheres to building code
requirements for defensible space.

The City also participates in the
Stanislaus County Office of
Emergency Services (OES) planning
and activities for disaster
preparedness, response, and
mitigation.

Are there any areas that
might not be in a FEMA
zone but which might
have a tendency to
experience flash floods
during storms due to a
lack of stormwater
infrastructure or ground
absorption/
permeability?
Oakdale slopes toward the
Stanislaus River, but is generally
protected from riparian flooding.

Oakdale soils are predominated by
sandy loams with adequate drainage
for groundwater recharge.

Anecdotal accounts note that
localized storm events are typically
associated with temporary flooding
following heavy rainfall.

Other Relevant Factors
Describe any historical
events, past populations,
waves of immigration and
development, redlining,
financial investments,
conditions, covenants
and restrictions that
influenced socioeconomic patterns.

Oakdale’s early development was
connected to the extension of the
Southern Pacific Railroad and
growing farming and ranching
activity in Stanislaus County.

Demographic shifts moving into the
21st century are largely typical of the
region, including greater racial
diversity with an increase in Hispanic
and Latino residents and inland
migration patterns fueled by rising
housing costs in the Bay Area.

Describe any past zoning
or land use decisions that
influenced socioeconomic patterns.

Broadly, trends of suburbanization
and single-family zoning have
shaped Oakdale in a manner similar
to comparable jurisdictions
throughout California and the
nation. The existing housing stock
exhibits a greater variety of housing
types closer to the downtown core
that are more accessible to
residents of a variety of incomes.

Describe any settlement
trends, major
developments or
population trends that
influenced socioeconomic patterns.
514
City of Oakdale 2023-2031 Housing Element

Other Relevant Factors (cont.)
Does the city have any
defining features to the
land use pattern?
Topography, Railroads?
Highways? Major
roadways? Does that
influence socio-economic
patterns?
The City sits at a crossroads of two
major throughfares. The northsouth arterial, Yosemite Avenue, starts as Highway 120 from the
north until the City’s historic
downtown at F Street. Highway 108
(F Street) runs from Riverbank to the
west through Oakdale, and
continues east from the central core
as Highway 120 into the foothills of
the Sierra Nevada.

The two major roadways create
quadrants within the City of Oakdale
(NW, SW, NE, SE). These are
identified as metrics throughout the
Fair Housing Assessment to identify
patterns of integration, disparity,
and access.

Freight rail runs through Oakdale to
the west, east and south, supporting
the local agricultural and industrial
economy.

Any recent engineering
reports, assessments of
infrastructure supply or
quality, public safety
reports, capital
improvement program?
Does this information
describe or show any
differences?
The City’s five-year Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) runs
from FY 2025-26 to FY 2030-31. The
CIP describes the Southwest
Downtown Revitalization and Safe
Routes to School Project as
addressing long-standing
underinvestment and severe
infrastructure deterioration in the
southwest downtown area. The
project focuses on First, Second, and
Third Avenues between H Street,
Church Street, and J Street.

5.7 FAIR HOUSING AND HOUSING SITES

5.7.1 SEGREGATION AND INTEGRATION
Housing sites identified to meet Oakdale’s RHNA are distributed throughout the community in a manner that affirmatively furthers fair housing. Oakdale contains areas designated as Highest Resource, High Resource, and Moderate Resource, and sites are primarily distributed throughout these Highest and High Resource areas, are not concentrated by income, and are supported by fair housing programs and the sites inventory. The following table includes analysis of sites by location within Oakdale with relation to fair housing indicators including neighborhood segregation, access to opportunity, and displacement risk. The City’s northwestern tract and westerly annexation areas exhibit high white segregation (Figure 29), with limited data for the City’s eastern tracts.

The block groups with the highest quantity of sites include the Crane Crossing Specific Plan Area (Census Tract 2.01, Block Group 21), and the East F Street Specific Plan Area (Census Tract 2.05, Block Group 52). Both block groups are in Highest and High Resource Areas, and development is supported by the Specific Plan study supports development feasibility of higher-density affordable housing. This concentration does not exacerbate patterns of segregation and locates lower income, moderate income, and abovemoderate income development capacity in a manner promoting integrated, mixedincome communities.

Zone RHNA Site Capacity
PD 51
R-1 16
R-2 459
R-3 117
Total 643
Table 20 indicates the realistic capacity of non-vacant sites by zone. All non-vacant sites are zoned for residential development, and units included in inventory within a Planned Development (PD) zone allow housing by-right. A majority of the City’s lower-income RHNA is facilitated on vacant sites, and distribution of non-vacant sites throughout zoning districts does not exacerbate fair housing conditions in Oakdale.

Sites are located within each of the City’s Census tracts, but some specific block groups do not contain sites within the Housing Element inventory. This omission is largely due to the absence of suitable vacant or underutilized sites within the block group to accommodate RHNA. Block groups with no inventoried sites include two (2) Highest Resource areas with limitations on areas assessed for accommodation of the City’s RHNA:
• Census Tract 2.01, Block Group 12: Comprised mostly of existing single-family neighborhoods along River Avenue, and land within the City’s sphere of influence not yet annexed by the City, referenced as Future Specific Plan Area 2. • Census Tract 2.02, Block Group 24: Comprised mostly of the built-out Bridle Ridge subdivision. A large vacant parcel within this block group is owned by the Oakdale Unified School District, and slated for potential future school expansion to accommodate anticipated growth. The easterly portions of the block group abut the City’s heavy industrial uses likely unsuitable for housing development.

Program 1-6 (Missing Middle Housing) is included in the Housing Strategy (Section 2) to promote the development of small lot subdivisions on applicable lots, potentially including vacant portions of large lots with existing structures on remainder parcels. This program can support the development of housing in Highest Resource Areas with limited land availability to promote ongoing integration of Oakdale’s neighborhoods.

The City’s RHNA is accommodated in higher-resource growth geographies with feasible pathways to development, and supported by programs to ensure that development standards and finance proactively pursue integrated housing at all levels of affordability throughout Oakdale. The Sites Inventory intentionally and affirmatively furthers fair housing, and does not exacerbate existing patterns of segregation. 518
City of Oakdale 2023-2031 Housing Element

5.7.2 RACIALLY AND ETHNICALLY CONCENTRATED AREAS OF

POVERTY
There are no racially/ethnically concentrated areas of poverty or racially concentrated areas of affluence within Oakdale.

5.7.3 DISPROPORTIONATE HOUSING NEEDS INCLUDING

DISPLACEMENT
Risk of displacement and cost burden are highest amongst low-income renter households. The location of housing sites will not exacerbate these conditions, and programs are included to address this need, including Program 4-4: Anti-Displacement Actions.

5.7.4 DISPARITIES IN ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITY
There are minimal disparities in access to opportunity by protected class and income throughout Oakdale. Sites on the southern end of the City are located in a Moderate Resource Area. Program 2-1: Neighborhood Improvements is included to support infrastructure improvements in Moderate Resource areas and adjacent to new developments.

5.7.5 IMPROVED AND EXACERBATED CONDITIONS
The identified housing sites are spread throughout the City and sites with capacity for lower-income housing are not concentrated in areas with a high concentration of existing affordable housing. Oakdale’s sites are primarily located within High and Highest Resource Areas, higher than the most neighboring jurisdictions in both San Joaquin and Stanislaus Counties. Additionally, fair housing conditions are not exacerbated by the housing development anticipated within the 2023 Housing Element.

5.7.6 SITES BY ACCESS TO EDUCATION
Sites are distributed throughout Oakdale with access to a variety of public schools. As noted in the following table, elementary schools are located in all quadrants of the City apart from the southwest, which includes a district-owned site that may be used for a future campus. The rate of English learners, free/reduced-price lunch eligible students, and ethnic diversity index of Oakdale schools was roughly equivalent. The greatest disparity was noted in English learners, ranging from Oakdale Charter (1.8%) to Sierra View Elementary (16.1%). A majority of had a wide variety of languages of English learners represented in Oakdale Unified schools, with a supermajority of students speaking Spanish but inclusive of Arabic, Assyrian, Baltic languages, Cantonese, Danish, French, Hindi, Hmong, Italian, Khmer, Lao, Mandarin, Philippine languages (e.g., Cebuano, Tagalog), Portuguese, Punjabi, Serbo-Croatian (Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian) and Turkish. 519

5.7.7 SITES BY ACCESS TO HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT
As noted in Section 5.4.3 (Access to Healthy Environment), sites are distributed throughout the Oakdale community in a manner that affirmatively furthers fair housing by locating sites away from environmental hazards, with key indicators addressed in a variety of programs including place-based improvements.

Environmental justice considerations in Oakdale are associated with traffic corridors, pesticide drift, and particulate matter. Proximity to freight or regional roadway networks may disproportionately affect some neighborhoods. The California Environmental Protection Agency uses CalEnviroScreen to identify communities experiencing cumulative environmental burdens, combining pollution exposure and socioeconomic vulnerability indicators. Oakdale does not contain Disadvantaged Urban Communities (DUCs) identified under statewide environmental justice thresholds. Programs address neighborhood-level disparities related to air quality, heat exposure, tree canopy, and infrastructure investment. Sites are located away from heavy industrial uses and major arterials wherever possible given the City’s available land, and the inventory does not exacerbate disproportionate access to healthy environmental conditions.

Program 6-2 (Place-Based Strategies) includes program actions to address climate change impacts through investments in adaptation measures such as urban forestry and low-impact development improvements in disadvantaged areas. Program 6-2 further contains actions to engage with community members and pursue funding to facilitate the establishment of community spaces and recreation opportunities, such as parks, trails, and bike paths.
520
City of Oakdale 2023-2031 Housing Element

5.7.8 SITES BY ACCESS TO TRANSPORTATION
As noted in Section 5.4.4 (Transportation), public transportation opportunities within Oakdale are typical of suburban contexts and connect Oakdale residents with the broader region. The location of sites does not exacerbate existing transportation conditions. Prioritizing sidewalk infill, shaded streetscapes, bicycle connectivity, traffic calming, park reinvestment, and Safe Routes to School improvements can help reduce neighborhood-level disparities and improve access. Sites are generally located in newer areas of the City with planned infrastructure and access to active transportation.

Consequently, program actions are focused on neighborhoods with aging infrastructure.

5.7.9 SITES BY ACCESS TO JOBS & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
High rates of unemployment were noted in CalEnviroScreen data, with a disproportionately high rate in the Southwest, Southeast, and Northeast quadrants of Oakdale. Housing sites are generally distributed throughout Oakdale – including an emphasis in the Northwest quadrant with a higher rate of employment and the City’s highest median incomes – and are not anticipated to exacerbate or create economic development disparities within the City.

5.3 Housing for Developmentally
Disabled Persons Program
To accommodate residents with
developmental disabilities the City will
seek State and Federal monies, as
funding becomes available, in support
of housing construction and
rehabilitation targeted for persons with
disabilities, including developmental
disabilities. The City will also provide
regulatory incentives, such as
expedited permit processing and fee
waivers and deferrals, to projects
target for persons with disabilities,
including persons with developmental
disabilities. Additionally, the City shall
refer developmentally disabled
persons to the Valley Mountain
Regional Center for information on
housing and services.

Ongoing, 2015-2023 Ongoing as development projects are
submitted for consideration.

Program to be
continued.

City of Oakdale 2024-2031 Housing Element - Appendix A p. 21

5.4 Farmworker Housing
Persons Program
Provide incentives (e.g., flexible
development standards, density
bonus, fast track processing, fee
reductions etc.) to developers to
encourage housing for farmworkers.

Individual projects will be evaluated to
determine if they qualify for any
incentives on a case by case basis.

The City will review the zoning
ordinance to determine that zoning and
development standards encourage a
variety of housing types for farmworker
housing needs, including multi-family,
manufactured housing, mobile homes,
single room occupancy, and second
units. The City will encourage the
development of housing for
farmworkers by assisting interested
developers with applications for
funding and assisting in application
processing to mitigate any potential
processing constraints. The City will
develop an informational brochure
illustrating the possible funding
sources and other City incentives for
the development of farmworker
housing and provide this brochure at
the Public Services Department and
City website.

Develop
informational
brochure by end of
2017 and provide
annual outreach to
developers and/or
non-profit agencies
Not successful. The Program is
partially implemented on an ongoing
as development projects are
submitted for consideration., but no
proposals that included units or bunks
for farmworkers were submitted
during the 5th Cycle. The zoning audit
was also not completed. The
Program need to be expanded to
specifically address farmworker
housing needs.

Program to be
modified and
expanded.

6.1 Home Energy Conservation
Programs Ongoing, 2015-2023
On April 21, 2014 the City Council
adopted a resolution consenting to
the Inclusion of Properties within the
Program is
complete and will
544
City of Oakdale 2024-2031 Housing Element - Appendix A p. 22 Promote home energy conservation
programs (e.g., energy education,
weatherization, and energy-efficient
appliances) through informational
brochures and City website
announcements that target lower
income households. The California
HERO Program is being offered to
allow property owners in participating
cities and counties to finance
renewable energy, energy water
efficiency improvements and electric
vehicle charging infrastructure on their
property.

City's Jurisdiction in the California
HERO Program to Finance

Energy Sources, Energy and Water
Efficiency Improvements and Electric
Vehicle Charging Infrastructure and
approved an Amendment to a Certain
Joint Powers Agreement. The City
has also adopted and enforces the
California Green Building Code.
not be carried
forward.

6.2 Water Conservation
To promote water conservation efforts,
the City will seek out and pursue
funding for programs that reduce or
conserve water for the construction
and rehabilitation of housing
developments. Specifically the City will
assist developers and residents in
conserving resources and lowering
utility costs by partnering with utility
providers to establish programs that
promote: the use of drought tolerant
landscaping, bioswales and other
stormwater systems; installation of
water meters and other water
conservation devices; and other
measure to identify and to eliminate
unnecessary or wasteful water
consumption.

Ongoing, 2015-2023
The City continues to promote water
conservation to meet the State
mandated reduction in SBx7-7. In
addition, the City maintains and
implements the adopted Urban Water
Management Plan.

Program will be
continued and
consolidated.
545
City of Oakdale 2024-2031 Housing Element - Appendix A p. 23 Considered together, the City’s success in implementing its 5th Cycle Housing Element Programs was strongest where Programs involved continuation of existing City programs but was less successful when they involved proactive outreach or Code changes that take significant staff time and resources. The City’s success in the effectiveness of its programs for special needs housing was also mixed, with many programs and objectives aimed at assisting multiple special needs groups including seniors, farmworkers, extremely low income, homeless and large households not being successful due to a lack of interest from the development community. The needs of certain households that require the deepest subsidies (extremely low-income households, farmworkers, and the homeless) have not been met. Moving ahead into the 6th Cycle, the City will need to engage in substantial proactive outreach measures and to pursue State grants or other funding to help ensure success in implementing its Housing Element Programs to meet all needs. 546
APPENDIX B: Community Engagement Summary
The City of Oakdale values community input and has maintained a focus on offering various opportunities for residents and community stakeholders to provide input on housing and development needs during the preparation of this Housing Element.

Government Code 65583(c)(7) requires that “the local government shall make a diligent effort to achieve public participation of all economic segments of the community in the development of the housing element, and the program shall describe this effort.” This appendix documents how public engagement was sought and gathered during the update process, and how the input received from residents and stakeholders was incorporated into the preparation and content of the Housing Element.

Community engagement has informed the Housing Element Update from day one. This Appendix provides an executive summary of outreach conducted prior to the launch of the Public Review Draft, and supplemented to incorporate community input on the draft following transmittals to the California Department of Housing & Community Development (HCD).

The following Appendix contains the results of the Housing Needs & Opportunities Survey. Continued updates on the Housing Element Update process and opportunities to comment are found at
https://www.oakdalegov.com/housing-element.

Public Workshops
The Oakdale City Council and Planning Commission hosted a series of informational workshops over the course of the Housing Element’s development, including a kickoff workshop in August 2024 and a Public Review Draft Workshop with the Planning Commission in December 2024.

Community Housing Needs & Opportunities Survey
The bilingual (English/Spanish) Housing Needs & Opportunities Survey was promoted with a flyer delivered in the Citywide utility mailer (figure below). The response is higher than typical engagement in Oakdale, with 549 respondents as of March 2025. 545 responses were completed in English and 4 in Spanish. The complete survey is attached to the Housing Element as Appendix C. 547
548
Public Review Draft Housing Element Update
Pursuant to State law, the Public Review Draft Housing Element was circulated for 30 days on November 25, 2024 and shared with prior survey respondents and interested parties. Following the close of the public review period, 10 working days were held to revise the draft prior to HCD submittal on January 15, 2025.

Written public comment was not received during the 30 day period, but public comment received during the Public Review Draft workshop of December 4, 2024 were included.
549
Revised Draft Housing Element Update
The Initial Draft Housing Element was transmitted to HCD on January 15, 2025 for 90-day review, with formal findings due back from HCD on April 16, 2025.

Following informal comments from HCD, technical corrections were made to the Housing Element to support the City in achieving certification. Pursuant to State law, the Revised Draft Housing Element was circulated for 7 days on March 26, 2025 and shared with prior survey respondents and interested parties prior to transmittal of edits to HCD on April 2, 2025.

1 Oakdale is unique because there is diversity in housing. Adding new housing will drive the prices even higher. And the EIR needs to be reassessed for the new build and infrastructure impact.

20 I think that some of the downtown apartments like above H-B and possibly others are in desperate need of updating and renovating. They could be rented at a lower price point than say Harveat apartments. What about also converting that building that is across from Conagra it’s a commercial building into housing. Not a tear down just a renovation. Also the corner of Greger and Yosemite. That several acre parcel that is flanked by Conagra could be apartments or townhouses at a lower rental price point. Just a few off the top of my head 10/7/2024 2:43 PM
21 You strongly need to build duplexes and four Plexes with a yard. It’s a mess at a lower income rate.
10/5/2024 4:47 PM

26 Some of the rich folks have land that is not used for anything other than to not be close to their neighbors. If your land is NOT your business (e.g. farms, ranches), you should not be allowed to purchase more than one acre of land!

28 No need for additional hotels. 9/23/2024 6:37 PM
29 More townhomes built around downtown. I understand this focus is on housing but how about looking at supports for all the new homes also. Roads are horrible, taxes go to Riverbank because they have the retail options, not enough restaurants, jobs that pay a liveable wage, etc. People need a reason to move here and there aren’t many reasons. 9/23/2024 9:54 AM

9/20/2024 2:25 PM
36 I like the idea of repurposing existing space. I don't have any concrete examples to propose. 9/20/2024 8:28 AM 37 It is important to keep Oakdale looking prestine. Older homes need to be renovated, repaired & in some cases, torn down to rebuild. The use of building an apartment on top detached garages is a great idea. Or completely renovated into an appartment is wise. So many of them look unused and detoritating.
9/20/2024 6:17 AM
38 None. It will increase traffic more and strain out schools. It will stretch cover for police jeopardize public safety and put officers’ lives at greater risk. It will strain our fire fighters and ambulance service. Building more will only bring people in- it’s not needed by people whom already reside here. Plus, allowing sprawl will increase traffic in neighboring areas, such as Escalon and Valley Home.
9/19/2024 8:31 PM

41 What are we talking about? In order to preserve Oakdale, we don’t need more apartments or multi-family housing. If we are building anything, we need either townhouses or single family dwellings. We have rich farmland that we should be protecting! It supplies food to much of the world. We should focus on filling the old Kmart with a business that might provide our city with more shopping opportunities. It’s been vacant for years. 9/18/2024 8:07 PM

49 Extend housing to all borders of the town, including gated communities and more grocery stores
9/17/2024 6:55 AM
50 No additional housing unless there is business development, very low and low income means illegals and unemployed, which means crime. Are additional police, fire and other infrastructure coming first. What is the current unemployment rate in Oakdale? Employers need work ethic employees. More housing does not make common sense.

tiny homes for people who want to live in Oakdale but don't want a home with a lot that requires a lot of maintenance and don't want to live in an apartment. Tiny homes are a big deal now days, I think Riverbank is building some, but we don't want low cost homes or section 8 tenants, we also need some more stores so people don't need to go to Riverbank to shop and keep the tax dollars in Oakdale, convert the old K-mart into a Target or something like that residents would love, I know my wife and I would use and not go out of town to shop gas it too high to drive into a different town to shop every week and we have lived here for 30 years now.

Thank you.

9/13/2024 6:05 PM
75 Kmart building/land could be developed for mixed use and/or housing for homeless/veterans 9/13/2024 5:26 PM 76 Oakdale needs stricter requirements for homeowners. People are parking trailers on driveways, cars on laws, not taking care of their yards and letting home fall into disarray. Our town is starting to look junky with no pride in making our community look clean and nice. We do not need more apartments or lower income housing. We need to take care of the homes we do have and make them look respectable and nice instead of looking like a ghetto town. New homes build should be single family quality homes, not cheap track homes that don’t age well. 9/13/2024 3:09 PM
77 Old significant, historic, downtown buildings upper floor(s) should be renovated for luxury condos. Owner-occupied preferred.
9/13/2024 10:43 AM

84 My opinion is this. I think we’ve made about all the parking adjustments, curbs here, curbs there. Everything is already used. We can’t create more space for everyday living. But, someone keeps thinking it’s ok to build more housing. There’s no where else to make parking, accessible to all. We’re already a bustling city with more people than it was meant to accommodate. We’re squeezing water out of a rock at this point. I love our lil town but it’s about all I can do to drive around it anymore. Too many people anymore. And no where to go.

Sad but true.

Magnolia school is super old and falling apart it will need repairs if we continue to not build a school to replace it. 9/11/2024 3:33 PM
95 No, we are not a large scale town, and we shouldn’t endeavor to be. In doing so we will become another run down place. Unless the housing and commercial is growth for flourishing I’d say don’t go forward. If there are plans to create a lovely growing atmosphere and preserve and enhance oakdale as we go, it will likely become a town that people who care for their homes move out of. Modesto became that for us. We would move from here as well. What is Oakdale? What do the decision makers intend to change? Is it good, or will it ruin the town? That’s what is important. Protect and make Oakdale a healthy and lovely place or join the cities of ruin? It’s a serious concern, and question. This will make or break a good town for better or worse. And it’s important. What services are struggling already? Would all growth cause flourishing for the citizens, or a worse condition to be sorry about. These are the real issues to take seriously. Thanks for asking. We moved here 4 years ago from Modesto and I’ve grown a bit concerned with the conditions changing even in 4 years. Much of these are state driven problems. If we can navigate them tho the best for the benefit of a flourishing place, ok, if not, we need to be wise, slow and careful considering our town and future. We’re very thankful to live here, let’s be careful and thoughtful to not go the way of Modesto. 9/11/2024 2:32 PM

Privacy and space between homes.
9/10/2024 8:14 AM
110 I disagree with all of these options. People move to oakdale for the small town feel. By adding apartments and condos and converting large old home to multiplex or multi families homes with ruin this city and cause more harm than good.
9/10/2024 6:54 AM
111 Bigger lot size 9/9/2024 11:04 PM
112 All of these types of housing could help Oakdale’s housing crisis. We need to allow more density and actually incentivize developers to build. If it doesn’t make fiscal sense or if the city staff/council make it more difficult for developers to bring projects to fruition, they will take their business elsewhere.
9/9/2024 10:55 PM

Look how the mobile home park basically built those tiny homes and got rid of the trailers. I do property management for over 30 years on this town. Need smaller, affordable units.
9/9/2024 7:12 PM

132 I feel we have more than plenty of housing in Oakdale and I am not in favor of adding additional to our small town.
9/8/2024 12:54 PM
133 We do not need the crime that follows low income housing. There are plenty of affordable options in Stanislaus county and if we open up more low income housing, we will see a spike in crime and urban decay.

134 Oakdale needs to avoid the trap of affordable housing. Affordable housing attracts crime, just look at all the other cities in our area with large amounts of affordable housing and compare their crime rates. Ceres, Empire, Modesto, Keys, Waterford, Riverbank, Salida, and Turlock all have plenty of low income housing. They can keep the crime. 9/8/2024 11:38 AM
135 I think ADUs could be a good idea to allow multi-generation family's to stay together in Oakdale. I am against adding lower income housing as it tends to cause a spike in crime.

Oakdale is one of the last good family cities in this great valley. There are plenty of affordable areas nearby in Turlock, Modesto, Riverbank, Jamestown, and Salida. All those areas have a higher level of crime than Oakdale. Oakdale needs to focus on middle class families. 9/8/2024 11:25 AM
136 Large empty plots of land that could be used as apartments/condos built on top of new restaurants, grocery options, and shopping, particularly on the far western side of the city (for example, the intersection of Crane and HWY 108).

142 Live work housing. Tied to transportation. Converting commercial land will cost the city valuable tax dollars that homes do not provide. Allowing for large homes to accommodate more residents will contribute to the parking nightmare that already exists in the residential neighborhoods.

156 Keep in mind, Oakdale has limited water resources. You can only pump so much ground water before the ground starts sinking and reservoirs become damaged. Also, don't penalize existing home owners with fees and infrastructure improvement costs that benefit the developers and new home owners.

159 Large homes modified to accommodate more residents and multi family housing locations.

Also, a nice splash pad in some of the more desirable parts of town to attract more families.

Oh, and let's bring in some more shopping options to keep the locals spending their money here and not in Riverbank or Modesto.

160 Multi-family units Additional dwellings on large properties 9/6/2024 7:36 PM 161 New construction, make land more attractive to buyers by decreasing taxes on private industry in the construction sector. Growth is the only way to accommodate the increasing population 9/6/2024 6:57 PM
162 Prices go down for renters 9/6/2024 6:32 PM
163 Additional units on large lots. More multi family housing. More housing in general to bring prices of homes down.
9/6/2024 6:01 PM
164 More tiny home communities family friendly where young families can thrive 9/6/2024 5:59 PM 165 Less restrictions on ADUs and required permits. Allow garages, etc to be converted. Make it easier to build ADUs on large lots.

172 Build smaller homes like before. 3 bed 2 bath we don’t need all these huge homes. We’re a small town
9/6/2024 4:00 PM
173 Don't agree with any of the above unless it includes more duplex units. 9/6/2024 3:52 PM 174 Oakdale needs retail and sadly I believe this survey is going to be manipulated to take retail zoned area near Crane Road. Why the parking question I have no confidence in city will do the right thing your past history of incompetence is sad.
9/6/2024 3:29 PM
175 My son's moved back and my sister lives with us. I am a "MULTIFAMILY HOME" already! I do wonder when I go grocery shopping how do the young kids make it? I don't see a lot of big businesses opening here? So because we have some undeveloped land the State wants us to build more low income housing on it so they can tell everyone how nice they are? I am not a rich guy, just getting by. How is having more people here with less money then me, help me? I believe more older folks like me would maybe feel less safe here in Oakdale? THAT'S NOT WHY IN MOVED HERE! I could have stayed in the BAY AREA! It's one thing to keep people out because of race, color, creed, but low income?(how low is low?) Are they Government subsidized? We all have compassion for these people, I was one once! But I also wonder about mine and my families safety? I worked my butt off to have what I have. If they can afford to live here GREAT! That's called AMERICA! The "MARKET ALWAYS BALANCES THINGS OUT"!

177 Additional units on large lots and tiny/small second homes on residential lots 9/6/2024 12:59 PM 178 None of the above . Way too many people here already and you do nothing about the traffic . 9/6/2024 12:06 PM 179 More housing to the south and west of town. 9/6/2024 10:56 AM 180 Unfortunately it’s the economy and the state that make housing really difficult everywhere. But there is a STRONG need for low-income workers, single parents, and low-income retirees(60+) rentals here in town. We NEED more affordable duplexes, single story apartments, large structures converted into housing such as studio apartments. Most people just want a well maintained roof over their head with the needed minimal utilities. They don’t need fancy kitchen countertops, high end appliances, walk-in closets, soaking bathtubs, expanded garages, etc. This town would benefit so much to help those who do not qualify for any 9/6/2024 10:41 AM

benefits because they just barely make too much and yet the cost of living vs income keeps them from being able to afford a rental and/or have a large sum deposit. 181 Keep Oakdale as it stands 9/6/2024 10:39 AM
182 Vacant property north of Sconza would be perfect for gated apartment complexes 9/6/2024 10:11 AM 183 ?? 9/6/2024 8:39 AM
184 Additional units on large lots. 9/6/2024 8:27 AM
185 Empty commercial areas converted into housing. House the homeless, get them mental health. Start with those with children, the young families. They are living in their cars and their children are attending our schools. We need to do better! 9/6/2024 7:25 AM
186 I think we need a combination of all the above. I also think we need to keep improving the older sections of town such as lighting, cross walks, sidewalks. 9/6/2024 6:18 AM

197 None if people want to work and get off the system they can find and buy/rent homes just fine.

If you make homes cheaper. People who bought at the peak of the market will let them for close and get a cheaper home.
9/5/2024 5:22 PM
198 Housing closer to shopping areas to reduce vehicle traffic 9/5/2024 5:05 PM 199 If the land isn’t being used for anything specific then apartments and/or cheaper homes should be built there. If there is a vacant business lot that isn’t being used then it should be torn down and converted for residential development.
9/5/2024 4:56 PM
200 I think more opportunities for granny units would be great if it were subsidized in some way, as the cost is too expensive for most people.
9/5/2024 4:39 PM
201 Preserve Oakdale's small town neighborhood feel by not overbuilding and adding too many multi-family structures.
9/5/2024 4:35 PM
202 Keep people out of the town and support the current local infrastructure this is a joke you are looking for people to support your looney dreams of putting apartments downtown disgusting 9/5/2024 4:04 PM
203 Keep with the wider roads like we have in older developments - new housing developments are so close together.

205 Small bungalows, garden apartments with a common courtyard, common wall townhouses, small arts & crafts entry level housing and it’s time to enforce the 20-25% affordable housing regulations that force the developers to build the affordable housing IN their housing tracts.

And not just 2and 4 plexes. Look at the NW quadrant of Oakdale that includes Magnolia School and the Old Hispital. You find mansions next to small 1 & 2 room houses next to medium size single family next to small duplexes and four plexes. It’s not so hard if our City 9/5/2024 3:34 PM

Council members and building department had any balls AND THEY DON’T! Mike Brennan was the last one they carried any of these ideas and he was voted down time and again.

Residential over commercial which has happened forever in large cities and once happened in Oakdale’s early history is an easy fix with the right council members I place. 206 Multi family units in east Oakdale Apartments downtown above businesses 9/5/2024 3:17 PM 207 Converted detached garages 9/5/2024 3:08 PM
208 More affordable housing 9/5/2024 2:51 PM
209 To many houses for out of towners who want to change out town. Not enough for locals 9/5/2024 2:10 PM 210 Detached garages converted into additional housing. Sustain single story family residence in separate zones from apartment unit complexes.
9/5/2024 1:52 PM
211 We live close to downtown, and have a yard with grass and trees, a single car driveway that will accommodate several cars, and we still have parking for 2 cars on the street in front of the house. New development often have no yards, no street parking, yet have 3, 4, or 5 bedrooms, with no outdoor space for large families or nowhere for anyone to park. If we go with multigenerational housing, lots must be bigger, parking must be adequate, parks must be nearby, and some sort of space for limited retail. Many of the ideas to add more people to existing space, does nothing for the quality of life and you are just creating more of an urban feel in what many still call a small town. When we moved here in the mid 80’s for work, it was a one stoplight town and we are not that anymore.

218 I believe owkdale could be just like Rippon if they would just develop bike paths we do not need More apartments it just brings in a different element. Owkdale is known for its Ranchettes and small home filling. We need to focus on downtown and annexing in the areas that are already developed. We need more bike paths. we do not need a large development off Sterns Road
8/26/2024 4:34 PM
219 All of the options create parking concerns. 8/22/2024 10:05 PM 220 All of these options will create excessive influx of motor vehicles and by extension, parking issues.
8/22/2024 10:03 PM

We should be building vertically.
8/22/2024 9:07 PM
225 Stop building and be more like Escalon but when you have a self promoting mayor who eats up all the attention given to her. Let's build more houses and have more people come to town so we can waste money on another downtown project so people will come spend money but not have a place to park or only be aloud to spend money for 2 hours because we aren't aloud to park any longer
8/22/2024 7:15 AM
226 None, as any will trigger reassessment of property and raise the taxes causing more people not to be able to afford or charge higher rents. Would also increase the need for parking in these areas that were never meant to be for that many people. 8/21/2024 3:39 AM

fire safety, privacy. Families should have the option to expand their house or add a granny unit, or for goodness sake, playground equipment in their own backyards. I personally live on a culdesac lot, so it’s 15’ to the fence from my bedroom. Fifteen feet from the neighbor’s barking dogs, at all hours of the morning and night or if I drop a bar of soap in the shower. Fifteen feet from giant redwoods. Small lots do not make good neighbors. This may not be the correct space for these comments, but I don’t know whether there will be another spot later in the survey.
228 Commercial conversion 8/20/2024 7:10 PM
229 There’s large lots of vacant land around Oakdale that can be used to bud more affordable homes instead of more expensive McMansions like in the Vineyards and Bridal Ridge.

Additionally there’s several vacant homes in bad condition throughout the city that could be fined into compliance to either turn into rentals, sell or demolish and rebuild multi family homes on the lots.
8/20/2024 10:58 AM
230 ADUs in town. Safer options for young adults just starting out, single professionals, seniors trying to stay independent but need some socialization and/or care. 8/20/2024 8:44 AM

8/20/2024 5:23 AM

287 Oakdale needs to focus on providing SFH on larger lots. Lot sizes are becoming smaller and smaller and people are having to pay a premium to not live right on top of one another. Comfort shouldn’t be a luxury accommodation.
8/13/2024 7:42 AM
288 None 8/9/2024 8:48 AM
289 I think that fixing up the streets and sidewalks in the older neighborhoods downtown can really improve living and encourage people to buy in that area and renovate those houses. Adding more apartments and duplexes will only encourage more people from Modesto and surrounding areas to move into Oakdale and make it harder those of us who are from here in terms of traffic and finding places to live. Oakdale is known for its small town charm and I believe it would be in Oakdales best interest to cater to that as well the people who are local to Oakdale by beautifying neighborhoods that have been neglected such as those near the highschool. We do not need more people. We need to make the quality of life in Oakdale better for those who already live here.

City of Oakdale
285 North Third Ave
Oakdale, CA 95361
Dear Jerry Ramar:

RE: Oakdale’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Revised Draft Housing Element Update Thank you for submitting the City of Oakdale’s (City) revised draft housing element received for review on April 2, 2026, along with revisions received on May 26, 2026.

The revisions were posted and made available for seven days prior to review. Pursuant to Government Code section 65585, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is reporting the results of its review. Our review was facilitated by a conversation on May 6, 2026 with the City’s consultants.

The revised draft element, including revisions, meets the statutory requirements of State Housing Element Law (Gov. Code, § 65580 et seq), including findings that were described in HCD’s December 5, 2025 review. However, the housing element cannot be found in substantial compliance until the City has completed the necessary rezones (see below) to accommodate the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The housing element will substantially comply with State Housing Element Law when all necessary rezoning are completed and meet statutory requirements and the element is adopted, submitted to, and approved by HCD, in accordance with Government Code section 65585.

A jurisdiction that did not adopt a compliant housing element within 120 days from the statutory deadline (December 31, 2023) must rezone sites within one year of the statutory deadline and meet requirements pursuant to Government Code sections 65583, subdivision (c)(1)(A) and 65583.2, subdivisions (c), (h) and (i), as applicable. As this year has passed and Program 2-1 (Maintain Viable Sites) has not been completed, the housing element cannot be found in substantial compliance until rezoning has been completed to meet all statutory requirements. Once the City completes the rezoning, a copy of the resolution, ordinance or other related documentation should be submitted to HCD for review. Following this, HCD will issue correspondence regarding the status of the City’s housing element compliance.
585
Jerry Ramar, City Manager

In addition, please be aware, the California appellate decision in Martinez v. City of Clovis held that when a local government employs overlay zoning to accommodate its lower-income RHNA, both the base zone and the overlay zone must comply with the minimum density requirements of Government Code section 65583.2, subdivision (h).

Furthermore, New Commune DTLA LLC v. City of Redondo Beach held that residential overlay zones cannot satisfy mandatory minimum density and residential use requirements of subdivision (h) when the underlying zoning allows for 100 percent nonresidential development on sites rezoned to accommodate the shortfall of lowerincome RHNA. The City should address impacts of these decisions on the current rezone strategy and adjust its rezoning accordingly to comply with Government Code section 65583.2, subdivision (h). (See Martinez v. City of Clovis 90 Cal.App.5th 193, 307 Cal.Rptr.3d 64 (2023); New Commune DTLA LLC v. City of Redondo Beach 115 Cal.App.5th 111, 337 Cal. Rptr. 3d 782 (2025).)
As a reminder, the City’s 6th cycle housing element was due December 31, 2023. As of today, the City has not completed the housing element process for the 6th cycle. The City’s 5th cycle housing element no longer satisfies statutory requirements. HCD encourages the City to expeditiously complete rezoning and adopt and submit the housing element to HCD to regain housing element compliance.

Public participation in the development, adoption and implementation of the housing element is essential to effective housing planning. Throughout the housing element process, the City must continue to engage the community, including organizations that represent lower-income and special needs households, by making information regularly available while considering and incorporating comments where appropriate. Please be aware, any revisions to the element must be posted on the local government’s website and to email a link to all individuals and organizations that have previously requested notices relating to the local government’s housing element at least seven days before submitting to HCD.

For your information, pursuant to Government Code section 65583.3, the City must submit an electronic sites inventory with its adopted housing element. The City must utilize standards, forms, and definitions adopted by HCD. Please see HCD’s housing element webpage at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/planning-and-communitydevelopment/housing-elements for a copy of the form and instructions. The City can reach out to HCD at [email protected] for technical assistance.

Several federal, state, and regional funding programs consider housing element compliance as an eligibility or ranking criteria. For example, the CalTrans Senate Bill (SB) 1 Sustainable Communities grant, the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities programs, and HCD’s Permanent Local Housing Allocation consider housing element compliance and/or annual reporting requirements pursuant to Government Code section 65400. With a compliant housing element, the City will meet housing element requirements for these and other funding sources. 586
Jerry Ramar, City Manager

For your information, some general plan element updates are triggered by housing element adoption. HCD reminds the City to consider timing provisions and welcomes the opportunity to provide assistance. For information, please see the Technical Advisories issued by the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation at:
https://www.lci.ca.gov/planning/general-plan/guidelines.html.

HCD appreciates the hard work and dedication of the City of Oakdale, in preparation of the City’s housing element. HCD looks forward to receiving the City’s adopted housing element and welcomes the opportunity to provide technical assistance during the adoption and rezone process. If you have any questions or need additional technical assistance, please contact Sayed Murad, of our staff, at [email protected].

Sincerely,
Paul McDougall
Senior Program Manager

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Date: Monday, June 15, 2026
To: Mayor Bairos and Members of the City Council
From: Manuel Lopez, Public Services Manager
Reviewed by: Jeff Gravel, Public Services Director
Subject: Consider a Resolution Adopting the City of Oakdale 2025 Urban Water Management Plan and Water Shortage Contingency Plan.

BACKGROUND
The Urban Water Management Planning Act (California Water Code Sections 10610– 10657) requires urban water suppliers serving more than 3,000 connections or supplying more than 3,000 acre-feet of water annually to prepare and adopt an Urban Water Management Plan every five years.

The City of Oakdale currently provides water service to approximately 8,335 service connections and a population of approximately 23,231 residents. In 2025, the City supplied approximately 4,826 acre-feet or 1,500,000,000 gallons of water to its customers.

The purpose of the UWMP is to evaluate current and projected water demands, assess available water supplies, identify conservation measures, and prepare for future water shortages and drought conditions. Adoption of the UWMP is required to maintain eligibility for certain State grants and low-interest loan programs.

The Water Shortage Contingency Plan is a required component of the UWMP and establishes six stages of water shortage response actions ranging from public outreach and voluntary conservation measures to mandatory restrictions during severe shortages.

DISCUSSION
The 2025 UWMP was prepared by Black Water Consulting Engineers in accordance with State requirements. The plan evaluates historical water use, projected future demands through 2045, water supply reliability, and drought preparedness.

Key findings include:
• The City supplied approximately 4,826 acre-feet of water during 2025. • Water demand is projected to increase modestly to approximately 5,032 acre-feet by 2045.
• The City’s water system is currently supplied by seven active groundwater wells. • Two additional municipal wells are planned to improve long-term reliability. • Surface water deliveries from Oakdale Irrigation District have begun serving Greger Sports Park and Bridle Ridge Dog Park and may be expanded to additional parks in the future.

AGENDA ITEM 10.6

CITY OF OAKDALE
City Council Staff Report (Continued)
SUBJECT: City of Oakdale 2025 Urban Water Management Plan MEETING DATE: Monday, June 15, 2026
• The City continues implementing conservation measures, water loss reduction projects, smart meters, public education programs, and system improvements to improve efficiency and reliability.
• The City currently exceeds its State water use reduction target and is actively implementing projects to improve compliance with future water loss standards.

Public notices regarding the preparation and adoption of the UWMP and WSCP were published in accordance with State law, and the documents have been made available for public review.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the adoption of the Urban Water Management Plan or Water Shortage Contingency Plan.

RECOMMENDATION
Conduct a public hearing and adopt the attached resolution approving the City of Oakdale 2025 Urban Water Management Plan and 2025 Water Shortage Contingency Plan and authorize staff to submit the plans to the California Department of Water Resources.

1 UWMP Introduction and Lay Description

1.1 Background and Purpose
Legal Requirements:

CWC Section 10615:
“Plan” means an urban water management plan prepared pursuant to this part. A plan shall describe and evaluate sources of supply, reasonable and practical efficient uses, reclamation and demand management activities. The components of the plan may vary according to an individual community or area's characteristics and its capabilities to efficiently use and conserve water. The plan shall address measures for residential, commercial, governmental, and industrial water demand management as set forth in Article 2 (commencing with Section 10630) of Chapter 3. In addition, a strategy and time schedule for implementation shall be included in the plan.

The California Water Code (CWC) requires urban water suppliers within the state to prepare and adopt Urban Water Management Plans (UWMPs) for submission to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR). The UWMPs, which must be filed every five years, must satisfy the requirements of the Urban Water Management Planning Act (UWMPA) of 1983 including amendments that have been made to the UWMPA and other applicable regulations. The UWMPA requires urban water suppliers servicing 3,000 or more connections or supplying more than 3,000 acre-feet (AF) of water annually, to prepare an UWMP.

The purpose of the UWMP is to maintain efficient use of urban water supplies, continue to promote conservation programs and policies, ensure that sufficient water supplies are available for future beneficial use, and provide a mechanism for response during water drought conditions. This Plan, which was prepared in compliance with the CWC, and as set forth in the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan Guidebook for Urban Water Suppliers (January 2026) established by DWR (2025 UWMP Guidebook), constitutes the City of Oakdale (City) 2025 UWMP. This 2025 UWMP was prepared in compliance with the UWMPA and the Water Conservation Bill of 2009 (Senate Bill [SB] X7-7) by Black Water Consulting Engineers, Inc. and the City.

1.2 Previous Urban Water Management Plan
The City previously updated its 2020 UWMP in January 2022. Following adoption, the 2020 UWMP was submitted to and approved by DWR. This 2025 UWMP serves as an update to the 2020 UWMP and complies with all new UWMP requirements and regulations.

1.3 Urban Water Management Planning and the California Water Code This section summarizes the CWC sections that are applicable to UWMPs. 598
City of Oakdale
2025 Urban Water Management Plan

1.3.1 Urban Water Management Planning Act of 1983
In 1983, State Assembly Bill (AB) 797 modified the CWC Division 6, by creating the UWMPA. Several amendments to the original UWMPA, which were introduced since 1983, have increased the data requirements and planning elements to be included in UWMPs. Initial amendments to the UWMPA required that total projected water use be compared to water supply sources over the next 20 years, in 5-year increments. Recent DWR guidelines also suggest projecting through a 25-year planning horizon to maintain a 20-year timeframe until the next UWMP update has been completed. This is merely a guideline and not a requirement of the UWMPA. Therefore, the use of a 25-year planning horizon as opposed to a 20-year planning horizon is left up to the discretion of the agency. The City has opted to use a 20-year planning horizon in this 2025 UWMP.

1.3.2 Applicable Changes since the 2020 UWMP
Since the UWMPA was enacted, the CWC has continued to evolve in response to statewide water management challenges such as prolonged drought, groundwater overdraft, regulatory updates, and changing climatic conditions. These factors influence each supplier’s water reliability determinations as well as the broader statewide reliability framework overseen by DWR, the State Water Resources Control Board, and the State of California Legislature (Legislature).

Summarized below are the major additions and changes to the UWMP requirements since the 2020 UWMP as per the DWR’s UWMP guidance documents:
• Changes in Water Code – There have been minor changes to the Water Code since the 2020 UWMPs were submitted; primarily, several definitions have been added. None of these change UWMP requirements for 2025 UWMPs.
• Suppliers with Multiple Public Water Systems (PWSs) – For consistency among State agencies, DWR and the State Water Board are using the same criteria to determine when a supplier with multiple PWSs is considered an Urban Water Supplier subject to UWMP requirements. Refer to Chapter 2, Section 2.1.1 of the 2025 UWMP Guidebook for details. • DWR Submittal Tables – Submittal tables have been updated to reflect the current reporting year, improve accuracy of reporting, and more clearly identify information required by Water Code and optional information.
• Water Loss Standard Reporting – There has been no change to the Water Code regarding water loss standard reporting since 2020 UWMPs were submitted. However, the existing Water Code requires suppliers to demonstrate compliance with the 2028 Water Loss Standard. The Water Loss Standards were not available when the 2020 UWMPs were being submitted but are now available for 2025 UWMPs. Therefore, guidance has been added about how suppliers can now report progress toward compliance with their Water Loss Standard in 2025 UWMPs. Refer to Submittal Table 4-6 and related guidance in Chapter 4 of the 2025 UWMP Guidebook. • Direct Potable Reuse – The State Water Board has adopted regulations for the use of direct potable reuse (DPR) since 2020 UWMP reporting. To allow for reporting of DPR, minor changes have been made to supply and demand tables. Refer to guidance in Chapters 4 and 6 of the 2025 UWMP Guidebook.

• Lower-Income Housing – While projections for lower-income housing were required in 2020 UWMPs, additional guidance has been provided for optional reporting of the method used to project water use for lower-income housing. This optional guidance incorporates the Regional Housing Needs Assessment into projected land uses and water demands. Refer to Chapter 4 and Appendix K of the 2025 UWMP Guidebook for more information. • Reporting Groundwater Recharge and Other Water Storage – In previous years, the guidance for reporting water placed into storage did not differentiate between long-term storage (i.e., water placed into storage one year but extracted in a future year) and short-term storage (i.e., water that is placed into storage and extracted the same year). When a supplier reports water placed into storage and then reports it was retrieved in the same year (short-term storage) it can cause a double counting error. Additional guidance recommending that suppliers do not report water into and out of short-term storage is provided in Chapter 4 and Chapter 6 of the 2025 UWMP Guidebook.

1.4 UWMPs in Relation to Other Planning Efforts
The City is committed to providing a reliable and high-quality water supply to its customers. To ensure that the City will be able to continue to reliably serve the residents of Oakdale in the future, the City has conducted/participated in several important planning efforts that relate to water supply planning and are related to the UWMP. Some of the most recent water planning efforts are summarized below:
• Oakdale 2030 General Plan [1]: On August 8, 2013, the City adopted an update to its General Plan that guides land use and development for the Oakdale Planning through the year 2030. The General Plan focuses on the preservation and enhancement of the existing community while guiding urban growth.
• 2022 Oakdale Water Master Plan (Water Master Plan) [2]: The City updated its Water Master Plan in 2022, which was previously developed in 2015. The Water Master Plan sets the foundation for the City to expand its water system to meet the needs of its growing population through the planning horizon of the General Plan along with updating projected growth. • Revised Modesto Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Plan [3]: The Stanislaus and Tuolumne Rivers Groundwater Basin Association (STRGBA) Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) and the Tuolumne GSA developed a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) for the Modesto Subbasin and was adopted in June 2024 and revised in July 2024. The GSP outlines how groundwater in the subbasin will be managed and regulated to ensure long-term sustainable use, prevent overdraft, and protect water quality in compliance with California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA).

1.5 UWMP Organization
This 2025 UWMP contains the appropriate sections and tables required per the UWMPA and has been prepared based on guidance provided by the 2025 UWMP Guidebook. The required tables are included in the relevant sections and in Appendix A.

DWR’s UWMP Checklist, as provided in the 2025 UWMP Guidebook, has been completed to demonstrate the UWMP’s compliance with applicable requirements. A copy of the completed checklist is included in Appendix B. This Plan is organized according to the recommended format provided in the 2025 UWMP Guidebook. The UWMP contains ten chapters as outlined below, followed by appendices that provide supporting documentation for the information presented in the plan. 600

According to the Stanislaus County Demographic and Employment Forecast 2025, prepared by the University of the Pacific Center for Business and Policy Research for the Stanislaus County of Governments (StanCOG), the City currently serves approximately 23,132 people through its municipal water system [4].

In 2025, the City delivered approximately 4,779 AF of potable water to residential, commercial, industrial, and public customers per the City’s metered system and provided approximately 47 AF of non-potable water to City parks. Water use is expected to gradually increase as the City grows, with total demand projected to reach approximately 5,032 AF by 2045.

The City operates seven active groundwater wells with a combined firm well capacity of about 9,179 gallons per minute (gpm) or 4,900 acre-feet per year (AFY). These wells supply the City’s entire potable water demand. In addition, the City has an agreement with the Oakdale Irrigation District (OID) that allows for the use of surface water, primarily for irrigation purposes, and may provide additional supply flexibility in the future.

The UWMP shows that the City has sufficient water supply to meet projected demands over the next 20 years under normal conditions, as well as during single dry years and extended drought conditions. Even during a five-year drought scenario, available supplies are expected to exceed projected demands. The City also maintains a WSCP that outlines how water use would be reduced and managed if shortages occur.

One of the City’s primary challenges is its reliance on groundwater as its sole water source. The City pumps from the Modesto Subbasin, which is classified as a high-priority basin under the SGMA. Long-term reliability of this supply depends on responsible groundwater management, regional coordination through the GSA, and implementation of sustainability plans to avoid overdraft and protect water quality.

To address future needs and improve system reliability, the City is planning to expand its water system.

This includes constructing additional groundwater wells and evaluating opportunities to increase the use of surface water supplies through OID. The City is also exploring long-term options such as recycled water use and groundwater recharge opportunities.

Water conservation remains an important part of the City’s strategy. The City has implemented several programs to reduce water use, including water waste prevention ordinances, full metering of customers, conservation-based pricing, public education, and ongoing efforts to reduce water loss in the distribution system. These measures help ensure efficient use of water and support long-term supply reliability.

In summary, the City’s 2025 UWMP demonstrates that the City currently has adequate water supplies and is planning to meet future demands. By managing its groundwater resources, expanding infrastructure, promoting conservation, and preparing for drought conditions, the City is working to provide safe and reliable water service to its customers now and into the future. 602

3 Service Area Description
The UWMPA requires that the UWMP include a description of the water purveyor’s service area and various aspects of the area served, including climate, population, and other demographic factors.

3.1 General Description
Legal Requirements:

CWC Section 10631:
(a) Describe the service area of the supplier, including current and projected population, climate, and other social, economic, and demographic factors affecting the supplier’s water management planning.

The projected population estimates shall be based upon data from the state, regional, or local service agency population projections within the service area of the urban water supplier and shall be in fiveyear increments to 20 years or as far as data is available. The description shall include the current and projected land uses within the existing or anticipated service area affecting the supplier’s water management planning. Urban water suppliers shall coordinate with local or regional land use authorities to determine the most appropriate land use information, including, where appropriate, land use information obtained from local or regional land use authorities, as developed pursuant to Article 5 (commencing with Section 65300) of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code.

The City was incorporated in 1906, and is located in the Central Valley on the northeast side of Stanislaus County at the intersections of State Routes 120 and 108. The City is situated approximately 15 miles northeast of Modesto, 20 miles north of Turlock, 22 miles east of Manteca, and 30 miles southeast of Stockton. Oakdale is situated along the Stanislaus River and is surrounded primarily by agricultural lands.

The City is a full-service City providing police and fire protection, emergency services, parks and recreation, street maintenance, water distribution, wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal, and general governmental services. The City’s water service area is generally contiguous with the City limits.

Limited areas adjacent to the City boundaries may be served by other water purveyors or private wells.

The distribution system includes an extensive network of water mains, storage facilities, and booster pump stations designed to meet domestic, commercial, industrial, and fire protection demands. The City maintains a water storage reservoir that provides operational and emergency supply capacity. Long-term planning for the water system, including system improvements and capacity expansion, is addressed in the City’s adopted water planning and master planning documents.

The Oakdale water system serves its population of approximately 23,132 people through seven active wells. The distribution system consists of approximately 75 miles of water lines ranging in diameter from 2 to 16 inches. The City has one 1.0 million gallon (MG) water storage tank, known as the Valley View Tank, that was constructed in 2014. The water system has two booster pump stations, known as the Burchell Hill Booster Pump Station and the Well No. 5A Site Booster Pump Station. The Burchell Hill Booster Pump Station has four booster pumps rated each at 450 gpm, and the Well No. 5A Site Booster Pump Station has two booster pumps rated each at 500 gpm. More information about the water system can be found in the Water Master Plan [2].

4 Water Use Characterization
This chapter describes and quantifies the current and projected water demands within the City’s service area.

4.1 Non-Potable versus Potable Water Use
Potable water is defined as water that is safe for human consumption and has been treated and disinfected in accordance with applicable federal and State drinking water standards. The City satisfies its potable water demands using groundwater supplies.

In addition to potable water, the City utilizes raw water as a form of non-potable supply. Raw water consists of untreated surface water used in its natural state or with minimal treatment for non-potable applications. The City maintains an agreement with OID to receive surface water for use in landscape irrigation at designated public parks.

4.2 Past, Current, and Projected Water Use by Sector
Legal Requirements:

CWC Section 10635:
(a) Every urban water Supplier shall include, as part of its urban water management plan, an assessment of the reliability of its water service to its customers during normal, dry, and multiple dry water years.

This water supply and demand assessment shall compare the total water supply sources available to the water supplier with the long-term total projected water use over the next 20 years, in five-year increments, for a normal water year, a single dry water year, and a drought lasting five consecutive water years. The water service reliability assessment shall be based upon the information compiled pursuant to Section 10631, including available data from state, regional, or local agency population projections within the service area of the urban water supplier.

CWC Section 10631(d):
(1) For an urban retail water supplier, quantify, to the extent records are available, past and current water use, over the same five-year increments described in subdivision (a), and projected water use, based upon information developed pursuant to subdivision (a), identifying the uses among water use sectors, including, but not necessarily limited to, all of the following… (2) The water use projections shall be in the same five-year increments described in subdivision (a). (4)(A) Water use projections, where available, shall display and account for the water savings estimated to result from adopted codes, standards, ordinances, or transportation and land use plans identified by the urban water supplier, as applicable to the service area. (B) To the extent that an urban water supplier reports the information described in subparagraph (A), an urban water supplier shall do both of the following: (i) Provide citations of the various codes, standards, ordinances, or transportation and land use plans utilized in making the projections. (ii) Indicate the extent that the water use projections consider savings from codes, standards, ordinances, or transportation and land use plans. Water use projections that do not account for these water savings shall be noted of that fact.

The following sections describe past, current, and projected water use within the City for each of the 10 water use sectors identified in CWC Section 10631(d).

4.2.1 Water Use Sectors Listed in Water Code
Legal Requirements:

CWC Section 10631(d):
(1) For an urban retail water supplier, quantify, to the extent records are available, past and current water use, over the same five-year increments described in subdivision (a), and projected water use, based upon information developed pursuant to subdivision (a), identifying the uses among water use sectors, including, but not necessarily limited to, all of the following:
(A) Single-family residential.
(B) Multifamily.
(C) Commercial.
(D) Industrial.
(E) Institutional and governmental.
(F) Landscape.
(G) Sales to other agencies.
(H) Saline water intrusion barriers, groundwater recharge, or conjunctive use, or any combination thereof.
(I) Agricultural.
(J) Distribution system water loss.

The water use sectors that are served by the City’s water system include single-family residential, multifamily residential, commercial, industrial, institutional/governmental, landscape irrigation, other, and distribution system water losses. These classifications are defined by the 2025 UWMP Guidebook as follows:
• Single-family residential – A single-family dwelling unit. A lot with a free-standing building containing one dwelling unit that may include a detached secondary dwelling. • Multi-family residential – Multiple dwelling units contained within one building or several buildings within one complex.
• Commercial – A water user that provides or distributes a product or service. • Industrial – A water user that is primarily a manufacturer or processor of materials as defined by the North American Industry Classification System code sectors 31 to 33, inclusive, or an entity that is a water user primarily engaged in research and development. • Institutional/Governmental – A water user dedicated to public service. This type of user includes, among other users, higher-education institutions, schools, courts, churches, hospitals, government facilities, and nonprofit research institutions. • Landscape – Water connections supplying water solely for landscape irrigation. Such landscapes may be associated with single-family residential, multi-family residential, commercial, industrial, or institutional/governmental sites, but are considered a separate water-use sector if the connection is solely for landscape irrigation.
• Other – Any water use that is not adequately described by the water sectors defined above or water uses that are not separately classified.
• Distribution System Water Losses – Water losses which occur due to distribution system leaks and other unmetered water uses (such as firefighting, main flushing, etc.). 617

DWR NOTES: Units of measure (AF, CCF, MG) must remain consistent throughout the UWMP as reported in Submittal Table 2-3. This table identifies the unit of measure selected in Submittal Table 2-3.

NOTES: Similar to projected population increases, the projected water use values are based on the same percentage increase from the Stanislaus County Demographic and Employment Forecast 2025. For non-potable landscape, water use is projected to stay consistent until further parks are added to the OID supply. For projected future water loss, the City is expecting to meet the 2028 Water Loss Standard set by the state and as such the maximum amount of water loss from the city is 218 AF per year by 2028 values.

4.2.6 Water Use for Lower Income Households
Legal Requirements:

CWC Section 10631.1:
(a) The water use projections required by Section 10631 shall include projected water use for singlefamily 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.
(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 Section 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.

The City has included an estimation of water demand for low-income housing in this Plan, as indicated in Table 4-4 (DWR Table 4-3 Retail). This section includes a discussion of projected water use for low-income households in the City’s service area.

SB 1087 was approved on October 7, 2005 and added certain provisions to the Government Code and amended a portion of the UWMPA. As it relates to the UWMPA, SB 1087 requires the water use projections of an UWMP to include the projected demands for single-family and multi-family residential housing needed for lower income households as identified in the housing element of any city or county in the service area of the supplier (CWC § 10631(a).) A lower income household is any household that has an income below 80 percent of the area median income, adjusted for family size.

Data from the 2024 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates Table S2503 indicate that in 2025 approximately 9,734 residents, assuming 2.8 persons per household, live in lower income households in the City [7]. Lower income households are classified as households which earn below 80% of the median income. Projected water demands associated with lower income residential water users through year 2045 are presented in Table 4-5. The projections assume the proportion of lower income residents to total residents remain constant for 2025 and beyond.

4.2.7 Climate Change Considerations
Legal Requirements:

CWC Section 10630:

It is the intention of the Legislature, in enacting this part, to permit levels of water management planning commensurate with the numbers of customers served and the volume of water supplied, while accounting for impacts from climate change.

CWC Section 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.

The Oakdale Climate Action Plan (CAP) serves to outline strategies, goals, and actions for reducing municipal and community-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The CAP has been structured to ensure that the City does its part to meet the mandates of California’s Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32), while taking into account the City’s 2030 General Plan vision for future growth. AB 32 requires jurisdictions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to be at or below 1990 levels by 2020.

The CAP provides a roadmap for the City to be proactive in reducing GHGs through a series of local actions.

Although the CAP is considered a “stand alone” policy document, the strategies presented in the CAP are incorporated into the 2030 General Plan, where appropriate, and are consistent with the goals, policies, and implementation included in the General Plan.

The CAP includes the following components:
• A GHG inventory for 2005 and for future forecasted years 2020 and 2030; • A GHG reduction goal of 29% below business-as-usual emissions for 2020; • Identification and transparent quantification of state-level GHG reduction strategies; • Identification and transparent cost/benefit quantification of feasible reduction strategies and actions;
• Identification of implementation steps and financing mechanisms to achieve the GHG reduction goal;
• Procedures for monitoring and updating the GHG inventory and reduction measures every five years; and
• Identification of an implementation schedule and responsible parties for implementation.

As required by the CWC, a drought risk assessment was prepared as part of the 2025 UWMP and is described in Chapter 7.

5 SB X7-7 Baselines, 2020 Targets, and 2025 Reporting
With the adoption of the Water Conservation Act of 2009, also known as the SB X7-7, the State of California was required to reduce urban per capita water use by 20 percent by the year 2020 (i.e., “20 by 2020”). CWC Section 10608.16(a) states: “The state shall achieve a 20-percent reduction in urban per capita water use in California on or before December 31, 2020.” To achieve this statewide objective, the Legislature required each urban retail water supplier subject to the UWMPA to develop an urban water use target to help the state collectively achieve a 20-percent reduction.

This chapter provides a description of the methodology used to calculate the City’s compliance with SB X7-7 requirements.

5.1 Baseline and Target Calculations for 2025 UWMPs
Legal Requirements:

CWC Section 10608.40:

Urban water retail suppliers shall report to the department on their progress in meeting their urban water use targets as part of their urban water management plans submitted pursuant to Section 10631.

CWC Section 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 The City is required under the CWC to report its progress toward achieving the 2020 water use reduction target. In its 2020 UWMP, the City established SB X7-7 baselines and a 2020 target of 180 gallons per capita per day (gpcd). The City did not meet this target in 2020 and remains out of compliance as of 2025 with the submittal of this UWMP.

As shown in Table 5-1 (DWR Table 5-1 Retail), both the 2020 and 2025 actual water use exceed the target value. Additional details, including the methodology used to calculate the 2025 gpcd, are provided in the SB X7-7 Compliance Form included in Appendix E.

5.2 Funding Eligibility
Legal Requirements:

CWC Section 10608.56:

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.

The City has not met the 2020 Target and is therefore not eligible to receive water-related grants or loans from the State of California, unless either of the two (2) following exceptions apply:

1. Section 10608.56 (c) states that a water supplier shall be eligible for a water loan or grant if it “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.”

2. Section 10608.56 (e) states that a water supplier can also be eligible for a water loan or grant if it “has submitted to the department for approval documentation demonstrating that its entire service area qualifies as a disadvantaged community.”

6 Water Supply Characterization
Legal Requirements:

CWC Section 10631(b):

Identify and quantify, to the extent practicable, the existing and planned sources of water available to the supplier as described in subdivision (a) [in five-year increments to 20 years or as far as data is available] 1, providing supporting and related information, including all of the following:
(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.
(2) When multiple sources of water supply are identified, a description of the management of each supply in correlation with the other identified supplies. (3) For any planned sources of water supply, a description of the measures that are being undertaken to acquire and develop those water supplies.

CWC 10631 (h):
... The wholesale agency shall provide information to the urban water supplier for inclusion in the urban water supplier’s plan that identifies and quantifies, to the extent practicable, the existing and planned sources of water as required by subdivision (b), available from the wholesale agency to the urban water supplier over the same five-year increments, and during various water-year types in accordance with subdivision (f). An urban water supplier may rely upon water supply information provided by the wholesale agency in fulfilling the plan informational requirements of subdivisions (b) and (f).

The UWMPA requires that the UWMP include a description of the agency’s existing and future water supply sources for the next 20 years. This chapter will provide the following information:
• Existing and planned sources of water;
• Projections of the water supplies over five-year increments through 2045; • Description of anticipated availability under normal, single dry, and five-year droughts; • Description of the management of each supply in correlation; and • Description of information pertinent to the reliability of the supplies, including considerations for climate change effects.

6.1 UWMP Water Supply Characterization
The following sections of this chapter discuss the varying water supply availability based on the supply type which includes:
• Purchased or Imported Water
• Groundwater
• Surface Water
• Stormwater
629
City of Oakdale
2025 Urban Water Management Plan
May 2026
6-2
• Wastewater and Recycled Water
• Desalinated Water
• Water Exchanges and Transfers
• Supply from Storage
• Other Water Supplies
• Future Water Projects

6.1.1 Purchased or Imported Water
To reduce reliance on groundwater resources and enhance supply reliability under varying hydrologic conditions, the City has diversified its water supply portfolio by entering into an agreement with the OID to receive non-potable surface water. Under this agreement, the City is allocated up to 10,000 AFY of surface water.

Because this supply is non-potable, its primary intended use is for landscape irrigation, particularly at public parks and other municipal facilities. Although the agreement with OID was established prior to the previous UWMP, surface water deliveries did not commence until the necessary conveyance infrastructure was constructed. In 2024, OID began delivering surface water to Greger Sports Park and Bridle Ridge Dog Park. Since then, approximately 46 AF have been delivered to Greger Sports Park and an estimated 21.5 AF to Bridle Ridge Dog Park.

While the City’s allocation of 10,000 AFY is considered a firm contractual right, the long-term availability of this supply is not guaranteed. Increasing statewide demand, recurring drought conditions, and the impacts of climate change may result in future re-evaluation of water rights in California. As such, maintaining beneficial use of this allocation will be important to preserve the City’s access to this supply.

6.1.2 Groundwater
Legal Requirements:

CWC Section 10631(b)(4):

If groundwater is identified as an existing or planned source of water available to the supplier, all of the following information:
(A) The current version of any groundwater sustainability plan or alternative adopted pursuant to Part

2.74 (commencing with Section 10720), any groundwater management plan adopted by the urban water supplier, including plans adopted pursuant to Part 2.75 (commencing with Section 10750), or any other specific authorization for groundwater management for basins underlying the urban water supplier’s service area.
(B) A description of any groundwater basin or basins from which the urban water supplier pumps groundwater. For basins that a court or the board has adjudicated the rights to pump groundwater, a copy of the order or decree adopted by the court or the board and a description of the amount of groundwater the urban water supplier has the legal right to pump under the order or decree. For a basin that has not been adjudicated, information as to whether the department has identified the basin as a high- or medium-priority basin in the most current official departmental bulletin that characterizes the condition of the groundwater basin, and a detailed description of the efforts being undertaken by the urban water supplier to coordinate with groundwater sustainability agencies or groundwater management agencies listed in subdivision (c) of Section 10723 to maintain or achieve sustainable groundwater conditions in accordance with a groundwater sustainability plan or alternative adopted pursuant to Part 2.74 (commencing with Section 10720).

Through 2025, groundwater supplies were used to meet all potable water needs in the City. The local groundwater source is the San Joaquin Valley Groundwater Basin, specifically the Modesto Subbasin. The San Joaquin Valley Groundwater Basin is designated as a DWR high priority basin.

The City currently operates 7 active wells with a firm well capacity of approximately 9,179 gpm. The capacities of wells currently in service are provided in Table 6-1.

Groundwater quality constraints and their potential effects on water supply reliability are discussed further in Chapter 7.

6.1.2.1 Groundwater Basin Description
The Modesto Subbasin is located on the central portion of California’s San Joaquin Valley and lies primarily within Stanislaus County, with small portions extending into San Joaquin County and Merced County. The Subbasin is bound by the Tuolumne River to the south, the Stanislaus River to the north, the San Joaquin River to the west, and the eastern extent of the Sierra Nevada foothills and underlying crystalline basement rock outcrops to the east. The Subbasin underlies a region characterized by a combination of agricultural, urban, and rural land uses distributed throughout the basin.

The Modesto Subbasin encompasses approximately 245,253 acres [3]. Agricultural land uses account for a substantial portion of water consumption within the subbasin and are comprised primarily of irrigated cropland, orchards, vineyards, and pasturelands. Native vegetation and open space areas are present primarily along river corridors and in foothill areas, while urban development is concentrated within incorporated cities, including the City, as well as in surrounding unincorporated communities. Over time, the subbasin has experienced a gradual increase in urban land uses, largely associated with population growth within city boundaries and along major transportation corridors. 631
City of Oakdale
2025 Urban Water Management Plan

Agricultural development within the Modesto Subbasin expanded significantly during the mid-20th century with the conversion of non-irrigated lands to irrigated agriculture. While agricultural land use has generally stabilized in recent decades, changes in crop types and irrigation practices continue to influence groundwater demand. Urban land uses have increased steadily, particularly within incorporated cities and adjacent areas, resulting in increased municipal and industrial groundwater pumping in localized areas.

Groundwater is a critical water supply source for municipal, industrial, and agricultural users throughout the Modesto Subbasin. Many urban water systems, including the City, rely primarily on groundwater to meet existing and projected demands. The groundwater aquifer from which the City obtains its water is not adjudicated. An adjudication consists of a groundwater basin in which all rights to water could be defined by a court. As a non-adjudicated basin, there are no defined legal pumping rights for the City and there are no legal constraints on groundwater pumping.

As urban growth and agricultural water needs continue, coordinated groundwater management and continued evaluation of groundwater conditions are essential to ensure the long-term sustainability of the Modesto Subbasin. In September 2014, Governor Brown signed the SGMA into law. This legislation is intended to provide a framework for local agencies to manage groundwater supplies and to restrict state intervention, if required. The three legislative bills that make up the SGMA are AB 1739, SB 1319, and SB 1168. The SGMA requires local agencies with basins classified as high-priority to form GSAs and to prepare and implement a GSP to achieve long-term groundwater sustainability and avoid undesirable results. The Modesto Subbasin was classified as a high-priority basin in the California Statewide Groundwater Elevation Monitoring program in 2014. In response to SGMA, eligible local agencies within the Modesto Subbasin coordinated to form multiple GSAs covering the entire Subbasin, including the STRGBA.

The STRGBA GSA is a joint powers authority composed of multiple local agencies, including City of Modesto, Modesto Irrigation District, the City, Oakdale Irrigation District, City of Riverbank, City of Waterford, and Stanislaus County. The STRGBA GSA is responsible for implementing SGMA requirements and managing groundwater resources in the subbasin in a coordinated, sustainable manner.

A map displaying the boundaries of the Modesto Subbasin and the GSA breakdown is displayed in Figure 6-1.

Figure 6-1 – Modesto Groundwater Subbasin Location and Boundaries Source: Modesto Subbasin Revised 2024 GSP.

The STRGBA GSA prepared a GSP for all local agencies previously mentioned, including the City, to guide groundwater management through the SGMA planning horizon of at least 2042. The GSP was submitted to the DWR, adopted on June 25, 2024, and revised in July 2024. The GSP establishes basin-specific sustainable management criteria and identifies projects and management actions intended to avoid undesirable results, including chronic lowering of groundwater levels, reductions in groundwater storage, seawater intrusion, degraded water quality, land subsidence, and depletions of interconnected surface waters.

6.1.2.3 Projected
With implementation of the 2028 Water Loss Standard, as discussed in Section 4, the City plans to implement additional practices and operational measures to further reduce water losses within the distribution system. However, while these improvements will reduce water losses, continued growth within the City is expected to increase overall water demand.

Population increases and expansion of the water system are expected to result in higher overall water demand. Consequently, groundwater production is projected to increase to meet future demands.

Additional details regarding projected groundwater demand and usage are provided in Section 6.1.10.

6.1.3 Surface Water
The City has the potential to receive up to 10,000 AFY of surface water through entitlements held by the OID. Currently, City received 67.5 AF in the last 2 years for park/landscape irrigation. As additional implementation uses are explored, the expected use of surface water via OID’s supplies will likely increase, however, it is not known at this time when the implementation year date will occur. 634

6.1.4 Stormwater
The City maintains and operates its own storm drain system within the City limits. The storm drain system consists of several discharge locations directly into the Stanislaus River and multiple discharge locations along OID facilities, detention basins, dry wells, and French drains. The City utilizes an agreement with OID to discharge excess storm runoff into OID facilities during the fall and winter months while the district is not running irrigation water and the pipelines are drained [1].

Additionally, the City has existing infrastructure for stormwater to recharge groundwater basins and control road flooding.

Legal Requirements:

CWC Section 10633:

The plan shall provide, to the extent available, information on recycled water and its potential for use as a water source in the service area of the urban water supplier. The preparation of the plan shall be coordinated with local water, wastewater, groundwater, and planning agencies that operate within the supplier’s service area…
All of the City’s wastewater is treated at the Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF). The facility is permitted to treat 2.44 million gallons per day. The City is currently evaluating opportunities for recycled water implementation through a Recycled Water Feasibility Study, which assesses potential users, infrastructure requirements, regulatory considerations, and project alternatives for beneficial reuse. The study is intended to identify the most practical and cost-effective approach for integrating recycled water into the City’s water supply portfolio while supporting long-term sustainability goals.

6.1.5.2 Wastewater Collection, Treatment, and Disposal
Legal Requirements:

CWC Section 10633(a):

A description of the wastewater collection and treatment systems in the supplier’s service area, including a quantification of the amount of wastewater collected and treated and the methods of wastewater disposal.

The City wastewater collection system consists of approximately 70 miles of gravity sewers ranging from 4-inch to 27-inch diameter, with 11 pump stations and 11 low-pressure force mains. Available data indicates that pipe materials within the system include concrete, vitrified clay, polyvinyl chloride, highdensity polyethylene, asbestos cement, and tile pipe. The collection system leads to a triple barrel inverted siphon consisting of a 12-inch, 14-inch, and 18-inch sewer line, referred to as the River Crossing, which begins near the intersection of Kimball Avenue and Oak Avenue and crosses the Stanislaus River to the WWTF. This inverted siphon directs all wastewater across the Stanislaus River for treatment and disposal at the City’s WWTF.

The WWTF is located at 9700 Liberini Avenue in Oakdale, CA, on the north side of the Stanislaus River.

The site consists of approximately 40 acres. The WWTF was first constructed in the mid-1960s, and has undergone improvement projects in 1984, 1990, 2000, and most recently in 2009. The WWTF currently consists of a headworks with a screen and grit chamber, two Biolac® aeration basins, two secondary clarifiers, a filter pump station, cloth disk filters, UV disinfection channels, two sludge dewatering presses, sludge drying beds, and percolation ponds.

6.1.5.3 Recycled Water System Description
Legal Requirements:

CWC Section 10633 (c):

A description of the recycled water currently being used in the supplier’s service area, including, but not limited to, the type, place, and quantity of use.

No recycled water is currently being used in the City’s service area.

6.1.5.4 Current, Potential, and Projected Recycled Water Uses Legal Requirements:

CWC Section 10633:
(b) A description of the quantity of treated wastewater that meets recycled water standards, is being discharged, and is otherwise available for use in a recycled water project. (d) A description and quantification of the potential uses of recycled water, including, but not limited to, agricultural irrigation, landscape irrigation, wildlife habitat enhancement, wetlands, industrial reuse, groundwater recharge, indirect potable reuse, and other appropriate uses, and a determination with regard to the technical and economic feasibility of serving those uses. (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.

In 2025, the WWTF produced approximately 1,893 AF of filtered, disinfected effluent. However, the WWTF does not currently satisfy Title 22 reliability and redundancy requirements for recycled water use.

In addition, regulatory actions, including submittal and approval of a Title 22 Engineering Report by the State Water Resources Control Board Division of Drinking Water, would be required before recycled water could be approved for use. Potential opportunities for using recycled wastewater include (1) discharge of recycled water to OID and (2) irrigation of nearby farmland.

The City is currently conducting a Recycled Water Feasibility Study to evaluate the most practical and costeffective uses of this resource. This effort includes assessing potential end users, infrastructure requirements, regulatory considerations, and implementation strategies to support long-term water supply sustainability.

Because the City has not yet incorporated recycled water into their system and preliminary findings of the Recycled Water Feasibility Study indicate that use of recycled water within the City water services may not be cost effective, Tables 6-5 (DWR Table 6-4 Retail) and 6-6 (DWR Table 6-5 Retail) show that there are no current or projected beneficial uses of recycled water within the service area. 639

6.1.6 Desalinated Water Opportunities
Legal Requirements:

CWC Section 10631(g):

Describe the opportunities for development of desalinated water, including, but not limited to, ocean water, brackish water, and groundwater, as a long-term supply.

The City is located inland and does not have access to coastal waters; therefore, seawater desalination is not applicable and is not currently considered a technically or economically feasible water supply option.

Additionally, desalination of brackish surface water or groundwater is not presently required to meet municipal demands.

6.1.7 Water Exchanges and Transfers
Legal Requirements:

CWC Section 10631(c):

Describe the opportunities for exchanges or transfers of water on a short-term or long-term basis.

As mentioned previously, the City has an agreement with OID for a surface water allocation of up to 10,000 AFY. Currently, the City uses OID surface water for landscape irrigation for Greger Sports Park and the Bridle Ridge Dog Park.

6.1.8 Supply from Storage

6.1.10.1 Description of Supplies
The City’s water supply is solely dependent on groundwater extracted from the Modesto Subbasin of the San Joaquin Valley Groundwater Basin, which currently meets all potable water demands through a system of seven active municipal wells. To improve supply reliability and reduce reliance on groundwater, the City has supplemented its portfolio with a non-potable surface water agreement with the OID, allowing for up to 10,000 AF per year for irrigation use, though current utilization remains limited. Planned projects, including the development of two additional wells, completion of a Recycled Water Feasibility Study, and a surface water feasibility study are intended to support future demand and enhance longterm water supply resilience under varying hydrologic conditions.

6.1.10.2 Quantification of Supplies
The actual (2025) water supplies for the City are summarized in Table 6-9 (DWR Table 6-8 Retail). The projected water supplies for the City are summarized in Table 6-10 (DWR Table 6-9 Retail).

NOTES: As the City receives its potable water supply from a groundwater source, the projected supply available is equal to the projected demands. Agreement with OID currently allows Oakdale to receive 10,000 AFY however, the City does not have existing infrastructure to deliver this quantity of water. Current available volume is documented as the amount used for landscape irrigation. If droughts occur or fluctuation in water exchange changes, the available surface water supply may decrease. Surface water supply is projected to increase in the future. Completion of a surface water supply study is planned in the near future. 646

6.1.11 Special Conditions
Numerous special conditions may affect water supplies. Potential climate change impacts were discussed in Section 4.2.7. Water demand in the City has generally decreased over the past decade due to measures taken by the City that are further discussed in Chapter 9. Regulatory conditions and other locally applicable criteria are not anticipated to affect the City’s water supply.

6.2 Energy Use
Legal Requirements:

CWC Section 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.

Water energy intensity represents the total amount of energy expended, calculated on a whole-system basis, to deliver water to customers. Energy intensity is expressed in kilowatt-hours per acre-foot and reflects the energy required to convey water from its source through treatment and distribution to the point of delivery. Evaluating whole-system energy intensity enables the City to make informed decisions in managing its water supplies and operating its facilities, including:
• Identifying opportunities to reduce energy consumption • Estimating energy savings and greenhouse gas emission reductions associated with water conservation programs;
• Supporting applications for grants related to energy efficiency and water conservation initiatives; • Informing climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies; and • Benchmarking energy use across individual water supply, treatment, and distribution components and comparing performance with similar agencies.

Energy intensity was calculated using the tables provided by DWR. DWR Table O-1B was selected for reporting the water delivery product energy usage. The energy use tables for retail water delivery, wastewater, and recycled water are provided in Appendix F.

As discussed in Section 6.1.5, the City also provides wastewater collection and treatment services within its service area. However, because the City does not currently produce or distribute recycled water, energy intensity calculations associated with recycled water production and delivery are not applicable at this time.

7 Water Service Reliability and Drought Risk Assessment The UWMPA requires that the UWMP address the reliability of the City's long term water supplies. This includes a description of supply constraints which may impact the supply. Also included is a comparison between the City’s supply and demand for a normal year, single-dry year, and five-consecutive year drought.

7.1 Constraints on Water Sources
Legal Requirements:

CWC Section 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.

Water Code Section 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.

Water Code Section 10635 (b)(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.

Water Code Section 10635 (b)(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.

Evaluating the reliability of the City’s water supply is complex due to a variety of factors that can affect water source availability and dependability. These factors may include legal issues, environmental constraints, water quality, and climatic variations. The following sections describe these factors.

7.1.1 Legal
The supplies the City relies upon are neither in the process of adjudication nor the subject of any new legislation limiting them. Therefore, the City does not anticipate legal factors influencing the reliability of groundwater within the near term. However, that could change in the future, with any new updates made to the GSP.
648
City of Oakdale
2025 Urban Water Management Plan
May 2026
7-2

7.1.2 Environmental
The status of environmental regulation in California changes due to new legislation, endangered species statuses, and other factors. Should new environmental legislation come into existence, it could potentially impact the City's available supply. The recent water supply reductions in the Bay-Delta are an example of environmental water needs versus community water supplies. The City does not anticipate environmental factors influencing groundwater reliability.

7.1.3 Water Quality
Water quality testing, as summarized in the City’s Consumer Confidence Reports for 2021 – 2024 (provided in Appendix G) shows that the City consistently meets or surpasses all U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and State drinking water health standards.

The City does not anticipate groundwater quality affecting groundwater reliability within the planning period. Nevertheless, as regulations become more stringent, sources may be required to have additional treatment to remain in compliance.

7.1.4 Climatic Factors
Climate change adds uncertainties to water supply planning. Changes to temperatures and precipitation patterns may impact water demands and supply availability. As discussed in Section 4.2.7, resource management strategies are being implemented to mitigate the effects of the potential impacts due to climate change.

7.2 Water Service Reliability Assessment (WSRA)
Legal Requirements:

CWC Section 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.

Expected water service reliability pursuant to Section 10635 of the Water Code is assessed in the following sections.

7.2.1 WSRA Year-Type Characterization
This section addresses the reliability of the City’s water supply in average, single dry, and multiple dry water years. The City uses the following water year definitions from the 2025 UWMP Guidebook:
• Normal Year: a year, or an averaged range of years, that most closely represents the average water supply available to the agency. For the purposes of this UWMP, the terms “normal” and “average” are used interchangeably.
• Single-Dry Year: the year that represents the lowest water supply available to the agency. 649
City of Oakdale
2025 Urban Water Management Plan
May 2026
7-3
• Five-Consecutive-Year Drought: the driest five-year historical sequence for the Supplier (Water Code Section 10612).

Table 7-1 (DWR Table 7-1 Retail) shows the basis of water year data as a percentage of average supply.

The base years were selected using rainfall data from CIMIS Station 194 in Oakdale. In addition, the available supply volume and the percentage relative to the average year are listed. The base year for the average year was selected by evaluating the ten-year per capita water use and determining the year that best represents the average.

7.3 Drought Risk Assessment
Legal Requirements:

CWC Section 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.

CWC Section 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.

This section provides a Drought Risk Assessment (DRA) based on the five driest consecutive years on record and plausible changes in climate, regulations, and other locally applicable criteria. A description of the data and methods used, basis for the supply shortage conditions, determination of the reliability of each source, and comparison of total water supplies and uses during a drought are provided below.

7.3.1 DRA Data, Methods, and Basis for Water Shortage Conditions The data used for the DRA is historical well data for 2011-2015, the driest five-year historical sequence for the City, and other historical records regarding the water system. Historical groundwater production data were evaluated to assess changes in well performance and system reliability during drought conditions and to determine whether drought-related supply constraints occurred. Additional information is available in the Modesto Subbasin GSP.

7.3.2 DRA Water Source Reliability
Based on historical well production data for 2011-2015, well production was not affected by drought conditions during a five-year drought period. Therefore, this DRA assumes that the total water supply is projected to be equivalent to a sustainable average groundwater production for each dry year.

Unforeseen water supply and quality issues, potential regulations on new contaminants, and changes in aquifer conditions may adversely affect the water supply and should be monitored closely. 654

7.3.3 Total Water Supply and Use Comparison
The total water supply and use comparison is shown in Table 7-5 (DWR Table 7-5 Retail). The comparison indicates that the City has sufficient water supply to meet projected demands during a five-year drought and that no water shortage condition is projected during the five-year drought scenario evaluated. The WSCP discusses measures for reducing water demands in case of water shortage conditions.

8 Water Shortage Contingency Plan
In response to the severe drought of 2012-2016, legislation was adopted in 2018 mandating that the UWMP include a WSCP that provides a detailed proposal for assessing water supply availability and response actions to water shortage conditions. The WSCP is to be a stand-alone document, which will allow for amending the plan without amending the 2025 UWMP. The City WSCP is provided in Appendix H. Refer to the WSCP for the following DWR Tables:

9 Demand Management Measures
This chapter describes the City’s historical and existing Demand Management Measures (DMMs) implemented to promote water conservation and reduce demands on available water supplies. The discussion includes past, current, and projected DMMs. These measures are a key component of the City’s long-term water supply planning and are also integral to the effectiveness of the WSCP, which is provided in Appendix H.

In prior UWMPs, water suppliers were required to provide extensive data documenting progress in implementing specific DMMs. However, AB 2067, enacted in 2014, simplified and updated DMM reporting requirements. The revised framework shifted the focus from detailed documentation of individual measures to implementation of core conservation actions designed to support compliance with the water use efficiency targets established under SB X7-7.

For retail water suppliers, the number of required DMMs was reduced to six standardized measures, along with an additional “other” category. Under the current requirements, agencies must provide a narrative description of the status of each DMM and explain how these measures contribute to achieving water efficiency goals; detailed quantitative data are no longer required.

The following sections summarize the City’s current and planned efforts to implement the applicable DMMs.

9.1 Report Implementation

9.1.1 Implementation over the Past Five Years
All DMMs discussed in Section 9.2 have been implemented over the past five years and are continuing to be implemented. The City is committed to programs designed to conserve and protect the quantity and quality of its groundwater resource. The overall reduction of water and near-compliance with the SB X7- 7 2020 target indicates that the programs adopted in the community have been effective. The detailed activities and expenditure information for each program have not been closely tracked in the past. The City is planning to track and record these activities and costs in the future to determine the effectiveness of each current and future program.

9.1.2 Implementation to Achieve Water Use Targets
Legal Requirements:

CWC Section 10631:
(e) Provide a description of the supplier’s water demand management measures. This description shall include all of the following:
(1)(A) …a narrative description that addresses the nature and extent of each water demand management measure implemented over the past five years.

As discussed in Chapter 5, the City has yet to meet the SB X7-7 2020 target. The City will continue to implement and improve the DMMs described below to reduce water demands and protect the groundwater supply.

9.2 Existing Demand Management Measures for Retail Suppliers Legal Requirements:

CWC Section 10631:
(e)Provide a description of the supplier’s water demand management measures. This description shall include all of the following:
(1)(A) For an urban retail water supplier, as defined in Section 10608.12, a narrative description that addresses the nature and extent of each water demand management measure implemented over the past five years. The narrative shall describe the water demand management measure that the supplier plans to implement to achieve its water use targets pursuant to Section 10608.20. (B)The narrative pursuant to this paragraph shall include descriptions of the following water demand management measures:
(i)Water waste prevention ordinances.
(ii)Metering.
(iii)Conservation pricing.
(iv)Public education and outreach.
(v)Programs to assess and manage distribution system real loss. (vi)Water conservation program coordination and staffing support. (vii)Other demand management measures that have a significant impact on water use as measured in gallons per capita per day, including innovative measures, if implemented.

In accordance with Urban Water Management Plan requirements, this Plan addresses the following six DMMs:
• Water waste prevention ordinances
• Metering
• Conservation-oriented pricing
• Public education and outreach
• Programs to assess and manage distribution system real losses • Water conservation program coordination and staffing support In addition, the City is required to describe any other DMMs that have been implemented and have had a significant effect on water use within the service area.

This section describes both the DMMs currently in place and those planned for future implementation.

For each DMM, the discussion includes a description of the existing program, an overview of implementation activities during the previous five-year period, and a summary of planned future actions.

9.2.1 Water-Waste Prevention Ordinances
The City enforces water waste prevention requirements throughout its service area pursuant to the City of Oakdale Municipal Code, included as Appendix I, Chapter 35 Section 35-48 – Water Waste Not Permitted. This chapter defines prohibited uses of water, establishes standards for efficient water use, and declares certain nonessential water uses to be unlawful. Among other provisions, the municipal code prohibits the waste of water through the prohibition of the following activities:
658
City of Oakdale
2025 Urban Water Management Plan
May 2026
9-3
• Failure to comply with the following schedule when watering lawns, plants, or garden, or using outdoor water for other purposes:
o No lawn/garden watering, or other outdoor use will be allowed between the hours of ten a.m. to seven p.m. every day.
o Dwellings or establishments with odd numbered street addresses shall use outdoor water only on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
o Dwellings or establishments with even numbered street addresses shall use outdoor water only on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. • Watering lawns or gardens such that excess water leaves the property or area being watered; • Watering outdoor landscaping while raining;
• Washing vehicles, equipment or boats, during restricted days or hours; and/or using hoses without automatic shut-offs;
• Hosing down of concrete or asphalt curbs, gutters, sidewalks, driveways or slabs; • Having leaky faucets or plumbing fixtures on the premises.

City staff are authorized to enforce these requirements through administrative citations and penalties for violations, as specified in Municipal Code Chapter 35 Section 39 to 43. The full text of the Water Conservation Program and related enforcement provisions is available through the City’s Municipal Code of Ordinances on the City’s website at: https://www.oakdalegov.com/municipal-code.

9.2.2 Metering
Legal Requirements:

CWC Section 526:
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, an urban water supplier that, on or after January 1, 2004, receives water from the federal Central Valley Project under a water service contract or subcontract... shall do both of the following:
(1) On or before January 1, 2013, install water meters on all service connections to residential and nonagricultural commercial buildings... located within its service area.

Water Code section 527
(a) An urban water supplier that is not subject to Section 526 shall do both the following:
(1) Install water meters on all municipal and industrial service connections located within its service area on or before January 1, 2025.

The City is fully metered for all customer classes, including separate meters for single family residential, commercial, and industrial and schools. Multiple family customers are metered but not necessarily individually by living unit.

The current water service rate structure is included in Appendix J. The rate structure is intended to raise sufficient funds to allow the City to properly maintain its water system. Funds to maintain and expand the system are also collected through development fees. The City additionally attended a public hearing on June 1, 2026 to consider changes to its current water rates. The proposed changes to the water rates are included in Appendix J.

9.2.3 Conservation Pricing
The City customers are charged a monthly fixed service fee based on meter size and volumetric usage per the metered water consumption. Volumetric water rates are established based on costs associated with water distribution within the City’s service area. Water use is billed in units of a centum cubic feet (CCF), regardless of meter size. The use of volumetric pricing provides a direct financial incentive for customers to reduce water consumption and adopt efficient water use practices.

Implementation of this DMM supports the City’s water use efficiency objectives by ensuring that customers pay rates that reflect the true cost of providing water service. This approach helps adequately fund system operations, maintenance, repair, and replacement programs, and ongoing water conservation efforts. The City will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of its rate structure by monitoring trends in unit water use in response to rate adjustments and is currently developing an updated rate structure.

9.2.4 Public Education and Outreach
The City seeks to promote lasting, sustainable changes in water use behavior through an active public education and outreach program, rather than relying solely on short-term responses during drought conditions.

The City distributes public information in its utility bills, press releases via newsletters, public meetings/hearings, and the City website.

These efforts are designed to increase customer awareness of water resource limitations, encourage efficient water use practices, and support compliance with local and State conservation requirements.

9.2.5 Programs to Assess and Manage Distribution System Real Loss The City conducts an annual water audit using software provided by the American Water Works Association (AWWA). Appendix D contains a copy of the water audits for 2020-2024. The results from the water audits were previously discussed in Chapter 4. Water audits are performed annually to identify leakage trends and determine whether and when corrective action to address leakage may be warranted.

9.2.6 Water Conservation Program Coordination and Staffing Support The City has designated staff to actively develop, promote, enforce, and maintain water conservation programs. These employees are responsible for responding to water complaints, monitoring water waste, issuing warnings and violations, and checking for excess landscape water use.

The effectiveness of this DMM is evaluated in conjunction with the success of the City’s water conservation efforts. As the City grows and water resources become more limited and expensive, water conservation programs will continue to expand and promote the importance of conservation.

Implementation of this DMM will continue to help the City achieve its water use targets by making implementation of the City’s water conservation program a top priority.

9.2.7 Other Demand Management Measures
In addition to the DMMs described above, the City has reduced large landscape water use in City parks through the use of irrigation timers with features such as temperature and moisture sensing. To help 660

mitigate water use, the City is also updating its municipal code to reflect more stringent water shortage levels. Additionally, the City has been working with OID to transition to non-potable water for irrigation at some parks.

Along with all other DMMs, the City is developing the implementation of programs to further reduce water demands and encourage water conservation including:
• Residential Water Survey Program
• Ion Water Online Tool

DWR NOTES: Units of measure (AF, CCF, MG) must remain consistent throughout the UWMP as reported in Submittal Table 2-3. This table identifies the unit of measure selected in Submittal Table 2-3.

NOTES: Similar to projected population increases, the projected water use values are based on the same percentage increase from the Stanislaus County Demographic and Employment Forecast 2025. For non-potable landscape, water use is projected to stay consistent until further parks are added to the OID supply. For projected future water loss, the City is expecting to meet the 2028 Water Loss Standard set by the state and as such the maximum amount of water loss from the city is 218 AF per year by 2028 values.

NOTES: As the City receives it's potable water supply from a groundwater source, the projected supply available is equal to the projected demands. Agreement with OID currently allows Oakdale to receive 10,000 AFY however, the City does not have existing infrastructure to deliver this quantity of water. Current available non-potable water volume is documented as the amount used for landscape irrigation. If droughts occur or fluctuation in water exchange changes, the available surface water supply may decrease. Surface water supply is projected to increase in the future. Completion of a surface water supply study is planned in the near-future.

SUBJECT: Notice of Preparation for the 2025 City of Oakdale Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP)
To Whom It May Concern,
The Urban Water Management Planning Act, California Water Code (CWC) § 10610 et seq., requires every urban water supplier providing water for municipal purposes, either directly or indirectly, to more than 3,000 customers or supplying more than 3,000 acrefeet of water annually to prepare and adopt an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and update that plan every five years. The UWMP is a planning document to support long-term resource planning and ensure adequate water supplies are available to meet existing and future water demands.

Pursuant to the requirements of the CWC, Division 6, Part 2.6 Urban Water Management Planning, Section 10621 (b), every urban water supplier required to prepare an UWMP 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.

Per CWC Section 10642, prior to adopting such plan(s), the urban water supplier shall make the UWMP and Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) available for public inspection within the jurisdiction of the water supplier. In addition, the urban water supplier shall provide notice of the time and place of a hearing to any city or county within which the supplier provides water supplies.

This letter is intended to notify your agency that the City of Oakdale (City) is currently in the process of preparing the 2025 UWMP and WSCP. The City’s public hearing for the 2025 UWMP and WSCP is scheduled for June 15, 2026. Comments can be submitted prior or during the public hearing.

For further information on the public hearing or the UWMP and WSCP update, refer to the city’s website, https://www.oakdalegov.com/, or please contact us at (209) 845-3600.

Sincerely,
