Introduction

Water Supply Assessment for the Pratt Family Ranch - Amendment July 2022 D.R. Horton, Inc. Page 1-1
SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION

1.1 - Regulatory Requirement
Senate Bill 610 (Chapter 643, Statutes of 2001) amended state law, effective January 1, 2002, to improve the link between information on water supply availability and land use decisions made by cities and counties. The statute requires detailed information regarding water availability to be provided to city and county decision-makers prior to approval of specified large development projects which are subject to CEQA (the California Environmental Quality Act) approval. These include residential, commercial, and industrial uses. The statute also requires this detailed information to be included in the administrative record that serves as the evidentiary basis for an entitlement action by the city or county on such projects. The statute-required water supply assessment (WSA) must examine the availability and sufficiency of an identified water supply under normal-year, single-dry-year, and multipledry-year conditions over a 20-year projection, accounting for the projected water demand of the Project in addition to other existing and planned future uses of the identified water supply.

The State Department of Water Resources “Guidebook for Implementation of Senate Bill 610 and Senate Bill 221 of 2001” (Guidebook) and the sample format presented in the Guidebook were used as guides in preparing this water supply assessment. Pertinent excerpts from the law stipulating requirements for water supply assessments precede Sections of this report.

The full text of Chapter 643, Statutes of 2001 (SB 610) is included in Appendix A.

1.2 - Project Description and Location
The Project is a 94.6-acre residential development, to be developed by D.R. Horton, Inc on a site north of Visalia. The project site is located on the corner of Pratt Road and North Mooney Boulevard (Figures 1-1 and 1-2). The Project is within the Southwest corner of Section 18, Township 18 South, Range 25 East.

The subdivision on the proposed Project site will include ninety 50’ x 100’ lots (17.97 gross acres), and two hundred six 38’ x 72’ lots (19.90 gross acres), 1.06 acres of private park, 1.14 acres of public park, and five landscape lots totaling 1.86 gross acres (Figure 1-3).

The proposed Project site is currently agriculture and is bounded by the Saint Johns River to the north, rural/uncultivated agricultural land to the east and west, and single-family residential communities to the south. The Visalia General Plan designates Project site as RM-2 (Medium Density Residential) and R-1-5 (Low Density Residential). The Project site has a zone classification of R-1-5, R-M-2, and QP (Quasi-public).

1.3 - Project Water Requirements and Setting
Water needed for construction will be obtained from the California Water Service - Visalia Water District which obtains groundwater from wells located on land within the City of Visalia. The current water distribution system is adjacent to the project site. The 1056
Introduction

Water Supply Assessment for the Pratt Family Ranch - Amendment July 2022 D.R. Horton, Inc. Page 1-2
construction process is estimated to take approximately 24 months. Construction water demands are estimated to be approximately 38 acre-feet, which is equivalent to approximately 12,380,000 gallons. Bottled drinking water will be provided for crews during construction activities.

Initial construction water usage will be in support of site preparation and grading activities.

During earthwork for grading of access road foundations, building foundations and project components, the principal use of water would be for compaction and dust control. Smaller quantities would be required for preparation of the concrete required for foundations and other minor uses. After the earthwork activities, water usage will be used for dust suppression and normal construction water requirements that are associated with construction of the buildings, internal access roads, and revegetation.

The long-term average day operational water demand will be for the residential users and is anticipated to be approximately 118.917 million gallons per year or 364.94 acre-feet per year for the total build out of the Project. This is based on residential users having an average day water demand of 150 gallons per day/bedroom across the entire estimated bedroom count of 2,172 for the buildout of the site.

Figures 1-4 and 1-5 illustrate the location of the Project site within the Tulare Lake Hydrologic Region, the San Joaquin Valley Groundwater Basin and the Kaweah Subbasin, and the borders of these water resource areas. Construction and operational water for the Project will be from sources pumping groundwater from this basin. The Kaweah Subbasin does not have any adjudicated areas.

The initial Pratt Family WSA was submitted in March 2022. Comments were received from the City of Visalia in June 2022. This July 2022 amendment to the Pratt Family WSA is being issued to address City comments.

SECTION 2 - WATER RESOURCES/WATER SUPPLY

2.1 - Proposed Water Supply
The project will be served by a public water system as required by Water Code section 10910(b). The purpose of the Water Supply Assessment is to determine “If the projected water demand associated with the proposed project was accounted for in the most recently adopted urban water management plan, the public water system may incorporate the requested information from the urban water management plan in preparing the elements of the assessment required to comply with subdivisions (d), (e), (f), and (g). If the projected water demand associated with the proposed project was not accounted for in the most recently adopted urban water management plan, or the public water system has no urban water management plan, the water supply assessment for the project shall include a discussion with regard to whether the public water system's total projected water supplies available during normal, single dry, and multiple dry water years during a 20-year projection will meet the projected water demand associated with the proposed project, in addition to the public water system's existing and planned future uses, including agricultural and manufacturing uses.” (SB610, Appendix A, Page 10)
The California Water Service - Visalia Water District is required to adopt an urban water management plan since the district serves more than 3,000 connections. The 2020 UWMP will be used for this water supply assessment. The 2020 UWMP will be used to obtain the following:
“a discussion with regard to whether the public water system's total projected water supplies available during normal, single dry, and multiple dry water years during a 20-year projection will meet the projected water demand associated with the proposed project.”
In making the sufficiency determination, the public water system shall include an assessment of the following. It is assumed that the California Water Service - Visalia Water District will supply water during construction and for the developed properties via the district’s existing wells and distribution system.

Water Code Section 10910
(a) Any city or county that determines that a project, as defined in Section 10912, is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code) under Section 21080 of the Public Resources Code shall comply with this part.
(b) The city or county, at the time that it determines whether an environmental impact report, a negative declaration, or a mitigated negative declaration is required for any project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 21080.1 of the Public Resources Code, shall identify any water system whose service area includes the project site and any water system adjacent to the project 1063
Water Resources/Water Supply

Water Supply Assessment for the Pratt Family Ranch - Amendment July 2022 D.R. Horton, Inc. Page 2-2
site that is, or may become as a result of supplying water to the project identified pursuant to this subdivision, a public water system, as defined in Section 10912, that may supply water for the project. If the city or county is not able to identify any public water system that may supply water for the project, the city or county shall prepare the water assessment required by this part after consulting with any entity serving domestic water supplies whose service area includes the project site, the local agency formation commission, and any public water system adjacent to the project site. (c) (1) The city or county, at the time it makes the determination required under Section 21080.1 of the Public Resources Code, shall request each public water system identified pursuant to subdivision (b) to determine whether the projected water demand associated with a proposed project was included as part of the most recently adopted urban water management plan adopted pursuant to Part 2.6 (commencing with Section 10610).
(2) If the projected water demand associated with the proposed project was accounted for in the most recently adopted urban water management plan, the public water system may incorporate the requested information from the urban water management plan in preparing the elements of the assessment required to comply with subdivisions (d), (e), (f), and (g).
(3) If the projected water demand associated with the proposed project was not accounted for in the most recently adopted urban water management plan, or the public water system has no urban water management plan, the water supply assessment for the project shall include a discussion with regard to whether the public water system’s total projected water supplies available during normal, single dry, and multiple dry water years during a 20-year projection will meet the projected water demand associated with the proposed project, in addition to the public water system’s existing and planned future uses, including agricultural and manufacturing uses.
(4) If the city or county is required to comply with this part pursuant to subdivision (b), the water supply assessment for the project shall include a discussion with regard to whether the total projected water supplies, determined to be available by the city or county for the project during normal, single dry, and multiple dry water years during a 20-year projection, will meet the projected water demand associated with the proposed project, in addition to existing and planned future uses, including agricultural and manufacturing uses.

The Project area consists of three General Plan land use designations: Residential Low Density, Residential Medium Density, and Open Space. The long-term average day operational water demand will be for the residential users and is anticipated to be approximately 118.917 million gallons per year or 364.94 acre-feet per year for the total build out of the Project. This is based on residential users having an average day water demand of 150 gallons per day/bedroom across the entire estimated bedroom count of 2,172 for the buildout of the site.
1064
Water Resources/Water Supply

Water Supply Assessment for the Pratt Family Ranch - Amendment July 2022 D.R. Horton, Inc. Page 2-3
Project water supply during construction and for the developed properties is proposed to be from the California Water Service - Visalia Water District.

2.2 - Hydrologic Region
The Water Supply Assessment evaluates the physical availability of and adequate groundwater supply, in all “water years” for a 20-year period.

This Assessment describes the relevant Hydrologic Region, Basin, and Subbasin, describes the principal water agency (California Water Service - Visalia Water District) serving and regulating Basin water planning and surface water importation, and lists water sufficiency and planning documents regarding the Basin. Section 3 includes the latest (2020) California Water Service - Visalia Water District projection of water availability (ground) for the Basin for a 20-year period under the normal, single dry and multiple dry year scenarios, as required by SB 610.

Water Code Section 10910
(f) If a water supply for a proposed project includes groundwater, the following additional information shall be included in the water assessment:
(1) A review of any information contained in the urban water management plan relevant to the identified water supply for the proposed project. (2)(A) A description of any groundwater basin or basins from which the proposed project will be supplied.
(B) For those basins for which 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 public water system, or the city or county if either is required to comply with this part pursuant to subdivision (b), has the legal right to pump under the order or decree.
(C) For a basin that has not been adjudicated that is a basin designated as high- or medium-priority pursuant to Section 10722.4 , information regarding the following:
(i) Whether the department has identified the basin as being subject to critical conditions of overdraft pursuant to Section 12924 .
(ii) If a groundwater sustainability agency has adopted a groundwater sustainability plan or has an approved alternative, a copy of that alternative or plan. (D) For a basin that has not been adjudicated that is a basin designated as low- or very low priority pursuant to Section 10722.4 , information as to whether the department has identified the basin or basins as overdrafted or has projected that the basin will become overdrafted if present management conditions continue, in the most current bulletin of the department that characterizes the condition of the 1065
Water Resources/Water Supply

groundwater basin, and a detailed description by the public water system, or the city or county if either is required to comply with this part pursuant to subdivision (b), of the efforts being undertaken in the basin or basins to eliminate the long-term overdraft condition.

2.2.1 - THE TULARE LAKE HYDROLOGIC REGION
The California Department of Water Resources, (DWR) has divided the State into 10 Hydrologic Regions. The Project site is located within the Tulare Lake Hydrologic Region in a Basin ranked as “high priority” in a statewide ranking of groundwater importance. The Region encompasses approximately 16,800 square miles (see Figure 1-4).

2.2.2 - THE KAWEAH GROUNDWATER SUBBASIN
The Kaweah subbasin occupies approximately 696 square miles within the Tulare Lake Region (see Figure 2-1). The Kaweah subbasin is bounded on the north by the Kings subbasin, on the south by the Tule subbasin, on the east by crystalline bedrock of the Sierra Nevada foothills, and on the west by the Tulare Lake subbasin.

Groundwater in the Basin is used for all water supply for the California Water Service - Visalia Water District. California Water Service – Visalia Water District participates with the Kaweah Delta Water Conservation District (KDWCD), the City of Visalia, and the relevant Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs). KDWCD has historically focused on the conservation of flows of the Kaweah River for groundwater recharge. California Water Service is also a stakeholder group participant to Kaweah River Basin Integrated Regional Water Management Plan, which was updated most recently in 2018. 1066

2.3 - California Water Service - Visalia Water District – 2020 UWMP The proposed water for the project is located within Visalia Water District. As such, the Visalia Water District has detailed information regarding groundwater in the area.

The District currently has a service population of approximately 147,032 people. In 2020, approximately 30,152 acre-feet of water was delivered to an estimated 45,550 water service connections of which approximately 69% of the water use is for residential services. The remainder are for commercial and industrial uses.

The District currently utilizes local groundwater as its sole source of water supply.

Groundwater is extracted by 59 wells located within the District’s sphere of influence. In addition to production wells, the District has four surface storage structures.

The Planning Documents
The following documents were essential to the development of this report:

Water Supply Sufficiency

Water Supply Assessment for the Pratt Family Ranch - Amendment July 2022 D.R. Horton, Inc. Page 3-1
SECTION 3 - WATER SUPPLY SUFFICIENCY
Water Code Section 10910, Section 4.5
…©(3) If the projected water demand associated with the proposed project was not accounted for in the most recently adopted urban water management plan, or the public water system has no urban water management plan, the water supply assessment for the project shall include a discussion with regard to whether the public water system’s total projected water supplies available during normal, single, dry, and multiple dry water years during a 20-year projection will meet the projected water demand associated with the proposed project, in addition to the public water system’s existing and planned future uses, including agricultural and manufacturing uses.

The sufficiency of the Project water supply is analyzed on two bases: the physical availability of the District to provide water in the amounts required for Project construction and operation; and the estimates (in the 2020 Visalia Water District, Urban Water Management Plan) of normal water years, single dry water year and multiple dry water years, water supply and demand-related water availability with respect to projected water demand during a 20-year projection. The Visalia Water District is a participant of the Mid-Kaweah Groundwater Sustainability Agency (MKGSA) and Greater Kaweah Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GKGSA) Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSP) that were developed in January 2020. The 2020 Urban Water Management Plan is in compliance with the MKGSA and GKGSA GSPs.

3.1 - Physical Availability
The information regarding the physical availability of water at and near to the Project site supports the conclusion that the groundwater aquifer pumping history are sufficient for both Project construction and Project operation and that there will be sufficient water to serve project needs for 20 years under the water scenarios described below.

3.2 - The 2020 California Water Service - Visalia Water District, Urban Water Management Plan – Water Years Adequacy Projections
The following text excerpted from the Urban Water Management Plan illustrates the total groundwater resources available to the District, and the projected usage demand on such supplies through 2045. The following text extract from Page 59, Section 6.2.5 of the 2020 UWMP explains the District water supply adequacy.

The groundwater used by the Visalia District is extracted from the underlying Kaweah and Tule Subbasins. The District has a total of 59 active wells located within the Visalia PWS, two wells within the Mullen PWS, and one well within the Tulco PWS. 1069
Water Supply Sufficiency

Water Supply Assessment for the Pratt Family Ranch - Amendment July 2022 D.R. Horton, Inc. Page 3-2
As noted above, groundwater is the only source of supply for the Visalia district. The available groundwater supply has been sufficient to meet all of the District’s demands in the past five years and all prior years.

The following tables from the 2020 California Water Service - Visalia Water District Urban Water Master Plan show the supply and demand comparisons for a normal year, single dry year, and five consecutive dry years.

As shown in Table 3-3, anticipated groundwater supplies are sufficient to meet all demands through the year 2045 even under multiple-dry year drought conditions.

The long-term operational water demand will be for the residential users and is anticipated to be approximately 118.917 million gallons per year or 364.94 acre-feet per year for the total build out of the Project. This is based on residential users having a water demand of 150 gallons per day/bedroom across the entire estimated room count of 2,172 for the site.

The District has a projected 14,969 million gallons of available water when looking at the 1072
Water Supply Sufficiency

fifth dry year based on 2045 projections (Table 3-3). The Project long-term operational water demand is 0.7944% (118.917 MG/14,969 MG) of the available water supply in the District.

The tables and accompanying text indicate that the responsible water agency for the Project area has taken appropriate steps to assure that the total water supply for the service area will be adequate.

3.3 - Water Supply Management
The California Water Resources has defined the Kaweah Subbasin as “critically overdrafted”.

Overdraft occurs where the average annual amount of groundwater extraction exceeds the long-term average annual supply of water to the basin. Native yield is defined as the groundwater supply, which is based on the natural, normal, unavoidable recharge that occurs within the basin. The KRGSA GSP estimates the native yield of the subbasin at 0.15 acre-ft/acre, which equates to approximately 4.32 acre-feet/year. This results in a shortfall of approximately 16.65 acre-feet/year for the proposed development, i.e. 20.97 acrefeet/year minus 4.32 acre-feet/year. However, the KRGSA is currently in balance and has not yet implemented any pumping restrictions.

Conclusions

Water Supply Assessment for the Pratt Family Ranch - Amendment July 2022 D.R. Horton, Inc. Page 4-1
SECTION 4 - CONCLUSIONS
This Water Supply Assessment has provided the data and analysis needed to verify that a sufficient Project water supply is physically available (Section 3.1), and that the Project water supply is in accord with SB 610’s normal year/dry year/multiple dry year requirements, sufficient (Section 3.2).

It is recommended that the California Water Service - Visalia Water District conclude that the proposed water supplies for the Project be found sufficient to meet the projected Project water demands.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 610, Costa. Water supply planning.
(1) Existing law requires every urban water supplier to identify, as part of its urban water management plan, the existing and planned sources of water available to the supplier over a prescribed 5-year period. Existing law prohibits an urban water supplier that fails to prepare or submit its urban water management plan to the Department of Water Resources from receiving drought assistance from the state until the plan is submitted.

This bill would require additional information to be included as part of an urban water management plan if groundwater is identified as a source of water available to the supplier. The bill would require an urban water supplier to include in the plan a description of all water supply projects and programs that may be undertaken to meet total projected water use. The bill would prohibit an urban water supplier that fails to prepare or submit the plan to the department from receiving funding made available from specified bond acts until the plan is submitted. The bill, until January 1, 2006, would require the department to take into consideration whether the urban water supplier has submitted an updated plan, as specified, in determining eligibility for funds made available pursuant to any program administered by the department.
(2) Existing law, under certain circumstances, requires a city or county that determines an environmental impact report is required in connection with a project, as defined, to request each public water system that may supply water for the project to assess, among other things, whether its total projected water supplies will meet the projected water demand associated with the proposed project. Existing law requires the public water system to submit the assessment to the city or county not later than 30 days from the date on which the request was received and, in the absence of the submittal of an assessment, provides that it shall be assumed that the public water system has no information to submit. Existing law makes legislative findings and declarations concerning “Proposition C,” a measure approved by the voters of San Diego County relating to regional growth management, and provides that the procedures established by a specified review board established in connection with that measure are deemed to comply with the requirements described above relating to water supply planning by a city or county.

This bill would revise those provisions. The bill, instead, would require a city or county that determines a project is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act to identify any public water system that may supply water for the project and to request those public water systems to 1078
prepare a specified water supply assessment, except as otherwise specified. The bill would require the assessment to include, among other information, an identification of existing water supply entitlements, water rights, or water service contracts relevant to the identified water supply for the proposed project and water received in prior years pursuant to those entitlements, rights, and contracts. The bill would require the city or county, if it is not able to identify any public water system that may supply water for the project, to prepare the water supply assessment after a prescribed consultation. The bill would revise the definition of “project,” for the purposes of these provisions, and make related changes.

The bill would prescribe a timeframe within which a public water system is required to submit the assessment to the city or county and would authorize the city or county to seek a writ of mandamus to compel the public water system to comply with requirements relating to the submission of the assessment.

The bill would require the public water system, or the city or county, as applicable, if that entity concludes that water supplies are, or will be, insufficient, to submit the plans for acquiring additional water supplies.

The bill would require the city or county to include the water supply assessment and certain other information in any environmental document prepared for the project pursuant to the act. By establishing duties for counties and cities, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The bill would provide that the County of San Diego is deemed to comply with these water supply planning requirements if the Office of Planning and Research determines that certain requirements have been met in connection with the implementation of “Proposition C.” (3) The bill would incorporate additional changes in Section 10631 of the Water Code proposed by AB 901, to be operative only if this bill and AB 901 are enacted and become effective on or before January 1, 2002, each bill amends Section 10631 of the Water Code, and this bill is enacted last. (4) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

DIGEST KEY

BILL TEXT

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS
FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1.
(a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(1) The length and severity of droughts in California cannot be predicted with any accuracy. (2) There are various factors that affect the ability to ensure that adequate water supplies are available to meet all of California’s water demands, now and in the future. (3) Because of these factors, it is not possible to guarantee a permanent water supply for all water users in California in the amounts requested.
1079
(4) Therefore, it is critical that California’s water agencies carefully assess the reliability of their water supply and delivery systems.
(5) Furthermore, California’s overall water delivery system has become less reliable over the last 20 years because demand for water has continued to grow while new supplies have not been developed in amounts sufficient to meet the increased demand.
(6) There are a variety of measures for developing new water supplies including water reclamation, water conservation, conjunctive use, water transfers, seawater desalination, and surface water and groundwater storage.
(7) With increasing frequency, California’s water agencies are required to impose water rationing on their residential and business customers during this state’s frequent and severe periods of drought. (8) The identification and development of water supplies needed during multiple-year droughts is vital to California’s business climate, as well as to the health of the agricultural industry, environment, rural communities, and residents who continue to face the possibility of severe water cutbacks during water shortage periods.
(9) A recent study indicates that the water supply and land use planning linkage, established by Part

2.10 (commencing with Section 10910) of Division 6 of the Water Code, has not been implemented in a manner that ensures the appropriate level of communication between water agencies and planning agencies, and this act is intended to remedy that deficiency in communication. (b) It is the intent of the Legislature to strengthen the process pursuant to which local agencies determine the adequacy of existing and planned future water supplies to meet existing and planned future demands on those water supplies.

(4) A detailed description and analysis of the amount and location of groundwater that is projected to be pumped by the public water system, or the city or county if either is required to comply with this part pursuant to subdivision (b), from any basin from which the proposed project will be supplied. The description and analysis shall be based on information that is reasonably available, including, but not limited to, historic use records.
(5) An analysis of the sufficiency of the groundwater from the basin or basins from which the proposed project will be supplied to meet the projected water demand associated with the proposed project. A water supply assessment shall not be required to include the information required by this paragraph if the public water system determines, as part of the review required by paragraph (1), that the sufficiency of groundwater necessary to meet the initial and projected water demand associated with the project was addressed in the description and analysis required by paragraph (4) of subdivision (b) of Section 10631.
(g) (1) Subject to paragraph (2), the governing body of each public water system shall submit the assessment to the city or county not later than 90 days from the date on which the request was received. The governing body of each public water system, or the city or county if either is required to comply with this act pursuant to subdivision (b), shall approve the assessment prepared pursuant to this section at a regular or special meeting.
(2) Prior to the expiration of the 90-day period, if the public water system intends to request an extension of time to prepare and adopt the assessment, the public water system shall meet with the city or county to request an extension of time, which shall not exceed 30 days, to prepare and adopt the assessment.
1088
(3) If the public water system fails to request an extension of time, or fails to submit the assessment notwithstanding the extension of time granted pursuant to paragraph (2), the city or county may seek a writ of mandamus to compel the governing body of the public water system to comply with the requirements of this part relating to the submission of the water supply assessment. (h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this part, if a project has been the subject of a water supply assessment that complies with the requirements of this part, no additional water supply assessment shall be required for subsequent projects that were part of a larger project for which a water supply assessment was completed and that has complied with the requirements of this part and for which the public water system, or the city or county if either is required to comply with this part pursuant to subdivision (b), has concluded that its water supplies are sufficient to meet the projected water demand associated with the proposed project, in addition to the existing and planned future uses, including, but not limited to, agricultural and industrial uses, unless one or more of the following changes occurs:
(1) Changes in the project that result in a substantial increase in water demand for the project. (2) Changes in the circumstances or conditions substantially affecting the ability of the public water system, or the city or county if either is required to comply with this part pursuant to subdivision (b), to provide a sufficient supply of water for the project. (3) Significant new information becomes available which was not known and could not have been known at the time when the assessment was prepared.

SEC. 5.

Section 10911 of the Water Code is amended to read:
10911.
(a) If, as a result of its assessment, the public water system concludes that its water supplies are, or will be, insufficient, the public water system shall provide to the city or county its plans for acquiring additional water supplies, setting forth the measures that are being undertaken to acquire and develop those water supplies. If the city or county, if either is required to comply with this part pursuant to subdivision (b), concludes as a result of its assessment, that water supplies are, or will be, insufficient, the city or county shall include in its water supply assessment its plans for acquiring additional water supplies, setting forth the measures that are being undertaken to acquire and develop those water supplies. Those plans may include, but are not limited to, information concerning all of the following:
(1) The estimated total costs, and the proposed method of financing the costs, associated with acquiring the additional water supplies.
(2) All federal, state, and local permits, approvals, or entitlements that are anticipated to be required in order to acquire and develop the additional water supplies. (3) Based on the considerations set forth in paragraphs (1) and (2), the estimated timeframes within which the public water system, or the city or county if either is required to comply with this part pursuant to subdivision (b), expects to be able to acquire additional water supplies. (b) The city or county shall include the water supply assessment provided pursuant to Section 10910, and any information provided pursuant to subdivision (a), in any environmental document prepared for the project pursuant to Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code.
1089
(c) The city or county may include in any environmental document an evaluation of any information included in that environmental document provided pursuant to subdivision (b). The city or county shall determine, based on the entire record, whether projected water supplies will be sufficient to satisfy the demands of the project, in addition to existing and planned future uses. If the city or county determines that water supplies will not be sufficient, the city or county shall include that determination in its findings for the project.

Chapter 1
Introduction and Overview
This chapter discusses the importance and uses of this Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP or Plan), the relationship of this Plan to the California Water Code (CWC), the relationship of this Plan to other local and regional planning efforts, and how this Plan is organized and developed in general accordance with the UWMP Guidebook 2020. 1 Specifically, this chapter contains the following sections:

1.1 Background and Purpose

1.2 Urban Water Management Planning and the California Water Code

1.3 Relationship to Other Planning Efforts

1.4 Plan Organization

1.5 Demonstration of Consistency with the Delta Plan for Participants in Covered Actions

1.6 Lay Description
Background and Purpose
California Water Service Company (Cal Water) is an investor-owned public utility supplying water service to approximately 1.8 million Californians through over 481,000 connections. Its 25 districts serve 63 communities spanning from the Chico-Hamilton City District in the northern portion of the state to the Palos Verdes District in southern California. California Water Service Group, Cal Water’s parent company, also provides water service to communities in Washington, New Mexico, and Hawaii. 2 While water rates are set separately for each of Cal Water’s 25districts, oversight of the water rate setting process and district operations is provided by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).

Cal Water incorporated in 1926 and has provided water service to communities served by the Visalia District (also referred to herein as “District”) since 1926 with the purchase of the Visalia Water Company. The District serves the communities of Visalia, Mullen, and Tulco.

This UWMP is a foundational document and source of information about the Visalia District’s historical and projected water demands, water supplies, supply reliability and potential 1 The UWMP Guidebook 2020 is available at: https://water.ca.gov/Programs/Water-Use-And-Efficiency/UrbanWater-Use-Efficiency/Urban-Water-Management-Plans 2 In addition, Cal Water operates the City of Hawthorne’s water system on behalf of the City. 1104

vulnerabilities, water shortage contingency planning, and demand management programs.

Among other things, it is used as:
• A long-range planning document by Cal Water for water supply and system planning; and • A source for data on population, housing, water demands, water supplies, and capital improvement projects used in:
o Regional water resource management plans prepared by wholesale water suppliers and other regional planning authorities (as applicable), o General Plans prepared by cities and counties, and
o Statewide and broad regional water resource plans prepared by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), or other state agencies.

The District’s last UWMP was completed in 2016, referred to herein as the “2015 UWMP.” This Plan is an update to the 2015 UWMP and carries forward information from that plan that remains current and relevant, and provides additional information as required by subsequent amendments to the UWMP Act (CWC §10610 – 10657). Although this Plan is an update to the 2015 UWMP, it was developed to be a self-contained, stand-alone document and does not require readers to reference information contained in previous UWMP updates.

Urban Water Management Planning and the California Water Code The UWMP Act requires urban water suppliers to prepare an UWMP every five years and to submit this plan to the DWR, the California State Library, and any city or county within which the supplier provides water supplies. All urban water suppliers, either publicly or privately owned, providing water for municipal purposes either directly or indirectly to more than 3,000 customers or supplying more than 3,000 acre-feet annually are required to prepare an UWMP (CWC §10617).

The UWMP Act was enacted in 1983. Over the years it has been amended in response to water resource challenges and planning imperatives confronting California. A significant amendment was made in 2009 as a result of the governor’s call for a statewide 20 percent reduction in urban water use by 2020, referred to as “20x2020,” the Water Conservation Act of 2009, and “SB X7-

7.” This amendment required urban retail water suppliers to establish water use targets for 2015 and 2020 that would result in statewide water savings of 20 percent by 2020. Beginning in 2016, urban retail water suppliers were required to comply with the water conservation requirements in SB X7-7 in order to be eligible for state water grants or loans. Chapter 5 of this plan contains the data and calculations used to determine compliance with these requirements. 1105

A subsequent substantial revision to the UWMP Act was made in 2018 through a pair of bills (i.e., Assembly Bill 1668 and Senate Bill 606), referred to as “Making Water Conservation a California Way of Life” or the “2018 Water Conservation Legislation.” These changes include, among other things, additional requirements for Water Shortage Contingency Plans (WSCPs), expansion of dry year supply reliability assessments to a five-year drought period, establishment of annual drought risk assessment procedures and reporting, and new conservation targets referred to as “annual water use objectives,” which will require retailers to continue to reduce water use beyond the 2020 SB X7-7 targets. The UWMP Act contains numerous other requirements that an UWMP must satisfy. Appendix A to this Plan lists each of these requirements and where in the Plan they are addressed.

Relationship to Other Planning Efforts
This Plan providesinformation specific to water management and planning by the Visalia District.

However, water management does not happen in isolation; there are other planning processes that integrate with the UWMP to accomplish urban planning. Some of these relevant planning documents include relevant city and county General Plans, Water Master Plans, Recycled Water Master Plans, integrated resource plans, Integrated Regional Water Management Plans, Groundwater Management Plans, Groundwater Sustainability Plans, and others.

This Plan is informed by and helps to inform these other planning efforts. In particular, this Plan utilizes information contained in city and county General Plans and local and regional water resource plans to the extent data from these plans are applicable and available.

Chapter 10 - Plan Adoption, Submittal, and Implementation In addition to these ten chapters, this Plan includes a number of appendices providing supporting documentation and supplemental information. Pursuant to CWC §10644(a)(2), this Plan utilizes the standardized forms, tables, and displays developed by DWR for the reporting of water use and supply information required by the UWMP Act. This Plan also includes additional tables, figures, and maps to augment the set developed by DWR, as appropriate. The table headers indicate if the table is part of DWR’s standardized set of submittal tables.

Demonstration of Consistency with the Delta Plan for Participants in Covered Actions
Although not required by the UWMP Act, in the UWMP Guidebook 2020, 4 DWR recommends that all suppliers that are participating in, or may participate in, receiving water from a proposed project that is considered a “covered action” under the Delta Plan—such as a (1) multiyear water transfer; (2) conveyance facility; or (3) new diversion that involves transferring water through, exporting water from, or using water in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Delta)—provide information in their UWMP to demonstrate consistency with the Delta Plan policy WR P1, Reduce Reliance on the Delta Through Improved Regional Water Self-Reliance (California Code of Regulations, Title 23, Section 5003).

The Visalia District’s sole source of water supply is groundwater, and therefore the District does not receive water or plan to receive water from a “covered action” under the Delta Plan. As such, this requirement is not applicable.

Lay Description
This Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP or Plan) is prepared for the California Water Service Company (Cal Water) Visalia District (also referred to as “District”), which serves drinking water to a population of approximately 147,000 in and around the City of Visalia. This UWMP serves as a foundational planning document and includes descriptions of historical and projected water demands, and water supplies, and the resulting reliability during a set of defined water supply conditions over a 20-year planning horizon. This document also describes the actions the District is taking to promote water conservation, both by the District itself and by its customers (referred to as “demand management measures”), and includes a plan to address potential water supply shortages such as drought or other impacts to supply availability (the “Water Shortage Contingency Plan”). This UWMP is updated every five years in accordance with state requirements under the Urban Water Management Planning Act and amendments (Division 6 Part 2.6 of the California Water Code [CWC] §10610 – 10656). Past plans developed for the District are available on the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) Water Use Efficiency Data Portal website: https://wuedata.water.ca.gov/. This document includes 10 chapters, which are summarized below.

Chapter 1- Introduction and Overview
This chapter presents the background and purpose of the UWMP, identifies the Plan organization, and provides this lay description overview of the document. For districts that rely on water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, this section also discusses and demonstrates consistency with the Delta Plan. The Visalia District, however, does not receive water from a “covered action” under the Delta Plan, and this discussion is not applicable.

Chapter 2 - Plan Preparation
This chapter discusses key structural aspects related to the preparation of the UWMP, and describes the coordination and outreach conducted as part of the preparation of the Plan, including coordination with local agencies (i.e., City of Visalia and Tulare County), relevant Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs), and the public.  CWC § 10630.5
Each plan shall include a simple lay description of how much water the agency has on a reliable basis, how much it needs for the foreseeable future, what the agency’s strategy is for meeting its water needs, the challenges facing the agency, and any other information necessary to provide a general understanding of the agency’s plan. 1108

Chapter 3 - System Description
This chapter provides a description of the Visalia District’s water system and the service area, including information related to the climate, population, and demographics. The Visalia District is located in Tulare County and operates three separate Public Water Systems (PWSs): the Visalia PWS, the Tulco PWS, and the Mullen PWS. The Visalia District has a population of approximately 147,000 and a climate characterized by hot dry summers and mild winters. The majority of the 11 inches of average annual precipitation falls between October and May. The service area includes mostly low density residential, agricultural, rural residential, and public/institutional land uses. Inside the current City limits, 12 percent of land is identified as vacant. All water customers are considered urban (i.e., non-agricultural water users).

Chapter 4 - Water Use Characterization
This chapter provides a description and quantifies the Visalia District’s current and projected demands through the year 2045. The District provides drinking water (also referred to as “potable water”) to customers. Water demands refer not only to the water used by customers, but also includes the water used as part of the system’s maintenance and operation, as well as unavoidable losses inherent in the operation of a water distribution system. Water demand within the District was 28,408 acre-feet per year (AFY) on average between 2016 and 2020.

Taking into account historical water use, expected population increase and other growth, climatic variability, and other assumptions, water demand within the District is projected to increase to 44,529 AFY by 2045, a change of 57 percent compared to the 2016-2020 average. In dry year periods, water demands are expected to be somewhat higher, potentially up to 45,939 AFY by 2045 during an extended five-year drought.

Chapter 5 - SB X7-7 Baseline and Targets
In this chapter, the Visalia District demonstrates compliance with its per capita water use target for the year 2020. The Water Conservation Act of 2009 (Senate Bill X7-7) was enacted in November 2009 and requires the state of California to achieve a 20 percent reduction in urban per capita water use by December 31, 2020. In order to achieve this, each urban retail water supplier was required to establish water use targets for 2015 and 2020 using methodologies established by DWR. The Visalia District is in compliance with its 2020 water use target of 198 gallons per capita per day (GPCD), having reduced its water use in 2020 to 183 GPCD. The Visalia District is also a member of a “Regional Alliance” for purposes of SB X7-7 compliance. The Regional Alliance’s 2020 water use is 182 GPCD, which is in compliance with and below its 2020 target of 222 GPCD.

Chapter 6 - Water Supply Characterization
This chapter presents an analysis of the Visalia District’s water supplies, as well as an estimate of water-related energy-consumption. The intent of this chapter is to present a comprehensive overview of the District’s water supplies, estimate the volume of available supplies over the UWMP planning horizon, and assess the sufficiency of the District’s supplies to meet projected demands under “normal” hydrologic conditions.

The sole source of water supply for the Visalia District is groundwater, and there are no new sources of supply currently planned. The Visalia District pumps groundwater from the Kaweah Subbasin (DWR Basin No. 5-022.11) and the Tule Subbasin (DWR Basin No. 5-022.13) of the San Joaquin Valley Basin.

The Kaweah and Tule Subbasins are not adjudicated; however, in its recent evaluation of California groundwater basins, DWR determined that both subbasins are in a condition of critical overdraft. Both subbasins have been prioritized by DWR as “high” and Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) formed within the subbasins have adopted Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSPs) in accordance with the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). The District falls within the jurisdiction of three GSAs: the Mid-Kaweah GSA, the Greater Kaweah GSA, and the Eastern Tule GSA. While long-term impacts of GSP implementation in the Kaweah and Tule Subbasins remain uncertain, based on all available information, the groundwater supply is expected to be sufficient to support the Visalia District’s projected water demand through 2045.

Calculating and reporting of water system energy intensity is a new requirement for the 2020 UWMPs. Energy intensity is defined as the net energy used for water treatment, pumping, conveyance, and distribution for all water entering the distribution system, and does not include the energy used to treat wastewater. The energy intensity for the Visalia District is estimated to be approximately 474 kilowatt hours per acre-foot of water (kWh/AF).

Chapter 7 - Water Supply Reliability Assessment
This chapter assesses the reliability of the Visalia District’s water supplies, with a specific focus on potential constraints such as groundwater supply availability, water quality, and climate change. The intent of this chapter is to identify any potential constraints that could affect the reliability of the District’s supply (such as drought conditions) to support the District’s planning efforts to ensure that its customers are well served. Water service reliability is assessed during normal, single dry-year, and multiple dry-year hydrologic conditions. Based on this analysis, the Visalia District expects the available supplies to be sufficient to meet projected demands in all hydrologic conditions, including a five-year drought period, and considering the impacts of climate change. Further, potential water quality issues are not expected to affect the quality of 1110

water served to the District’s customers, as water quality is routinely monitored and the District is able to make all appropriate adjustments to its treatment and distribution system to ensure only high quality drinking water is served.

Chapter 8 - Water Shortage Contingency Planning
This chapter describes the Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) for the Visalia District. The WSCP serves as a standalone document to be engaged in the case of a water shortage event, such as a drought or supply interruption, and defines specific policies and actions that will be implemented at various shortage level scenarios. For example, implementing customer water budgets and surcharges, or restricting landscape irrigation to specific days and/or times.

Consistent with DWR requirements, the WSCP includes six levels to address shortage conditions ranging from up to 10 percent to greater than 50 percent shortage.

Chapter 9 - Demand Management Measures
This chapter includes descriptions of past and planned conservation programs that Cal Water operates within each demand management measure (DMM) category outlined in the UWMP Act, specifically: (1) water waste prevention ordinances, (2) metering, (3) conservation pricing, (4) public education and outreach, (5) distribution system water loss management, (6) water conservation program coordination and staffing support, and (7) “other” DMMs. Cal Water has developed a suite of conservation programs and policies, which address each DMM category.

Chapter 10 - Plan Adoption, Submittal, and Implementation This chapter provides information on a public hearing, the adoption process for the UWMP and WSCP, the adopted UWMP and WSCP submittal process, plan implementation, and the process for amending the adopted UWMP and WSCP. Prior to adopting the Plan, Cal Water held a formal public hearing to present information on its Visalia District UWMP and WSCP on May 18, 2021, 7:00 PM. This UWMP and the corresponding WSCP were submitted to DWR within 30 days of adoption and by the July 1, 2021 deadline.

Chapter 2
Plan Preparation
This chapter discusses the type of Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP or Plan) the Visalia District (also referred to herein as “District”) has prepared and includes information that will apply throughout the Plan. Coordination and outreach during the development of the Plan is also discussed. Specifically, this chapter includes the following sections:

2.1 Public Water Systems

2.2 Regional Planning

2.3 Individual or Regional Planning and Compliance (Regional Alliance)

2.4 Plan Preparation, Standard Units, and Basis for Reporting

2.5 Coordination and Outreach

2.1 Public Water Systems
The Visalia District operates the Public Water Systems (PWS) listed in Table 2-1. Public Water Systems are the systems that provide drinking water for human consumption and are regulated by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), Division of Drinking Water. The SWRCB requires that water agencies report water usage and other relevant PWS information via the electronic Annual Reports to the Drinking Water Program (eARDWP). These data are used by the state to determine, among other things, whether an urban retail water supplier has reached the threshold (3,000 or more connections or 3,000 acre-feet of water supplied) for submitting an UWMP.

2.2 Regional Planning
Regional planning can deliver mutually beneficial solutions to all agencies involved by reducing costs for the individual agency, assessing water resources at the appropriate geographic scale, and allowing for solutions that cross jurisdictional boundaries. California Water Service Company (Cal Water) participates in regional water resources planning initiatives throughout California in the regions in which its 25 water districts are located. In the region in which the Visalia District is located, Cal Water participates with the Kaweah Delta Water Conservation District (KDWCD), the City of Visalia, and the relevant Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs). KDWCD has historically focused on the conservation of flows of the Kaweah River for groundwater recharge.

Cal Water is also a stakeholder group participant to Kaweah River Basin Integrated Regional Water Management Plan, which was updated most recently in 2018.

2.3 Individual or Regional Planning and Compliance (Regional Alliance) Urban water suppliers may elect to prepare individual or regional UWMPs. The Visalia District has elected to prepare an individual UWMP covering its three public water systems (see Table 2-2).

Urban retail water suppliers may report on the requirements of SB X7-7 (2009 California Conservation Act) individually or as a member of a “Regional Alliance.” As described in Chapter 5, the Visalia District is a member of a Regional Alliance and this UWMP provides information on the District’s compliance with its SB X7-7 water conservation targets both as an individual urban retail water supplier and as a member of a Regional Alliance. 1113

Chapter 3
System Description
This chapter provides a description of the Visalia District (also referred to herein as the “District”) water system and service area, including climate, population, demographics, and land uses to help in understanding various elements of water supply and demand. This chapter includes the following sections:

3.1 General Description

3.2 Service Area Boundary Map

3.3 Service Area Climate

3.4 Service Area Population and Demographics

3.5 Land Uses within Service Area
General Description
The District has served the City of Visalia since 1926, when California Water Service Company (Cal Water), an investor-owned water utility regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), purchased the water system serving the City of Visalia from the Visalia Water Company.

The District is comprised of three public water systems (PWS): the Visalia PWS, the Tulco Water System PWS, and the Mullen Water System PWS. The Visalia PWS serves the City of Visalia while the other two serve very small communities south of the City of Visalia.  CWC § 10631 (a)
A plan shall be adopted in accordance with this chapter that shall do all of the following:

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

The District currently produces about 27 million gallons of local groundwater per day from 59 active wells and delivers it to customers through more than 600 miles of pipeline. Nearly all this production is associated with the Visalia PWS. The District delivers water to residential, commercial, industrial, and governmental customers. Residential customers account for most of the District’s service connections and 69 percent of its water uses. Non-residential water uses account for 28 percent of total demand, while distribution system losses account for 3 percent.

Service Area Boundary Map
Figure 3-1 shows the location of the District and its current service area boundaries. The District is in Tulare County and serves the City of Visalia and segments of unincorporated Tulare County including the communities of Goshen, Mullen, and Tulco. Visalia is the largest city in Tulare County. The District lies approximately 42 miles southeast of the City of Fresno and 75 miles north of the City of Bakersfield. Major transportation links in the District include the Golden State Highway (State Route 99), State Route 63 and State Route 198. The Southern Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroads provide rail service to the region.

The District is situated in the Tulare Lake Hydrologic Region, within the King-Kaweah-Tule Rivers sub-area. The service area is built upon the alluvium of the Kaweah River. The Kaweah River provides drainage for the southern Sierra Nevada Mountains. This river splits east of Visalia forming the St. Johns River that flows just north of Visalia while the Kaweah River continues south. Lake Kaweah is located on the Kaweah River about twenty miles upstream from the city.

This reservoir is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and provides both flood control and irrigation water storage.

On average, the District receives 11 inches of rainfall annually. Maximum daily air temperature averages 92 degrees Fahrenheit during the summer months. In the winter, it averages 57 degrees Fahrenheit.

Figure 3-2. 30-Year Normals, Precipitation and Maximum Daily Air Temperature Based on a review of data downloaded from the Oregon State PRISM dataset for 1895 to 2019, rainfall varies significantly from year-to-year, as it does in most of California. 6 The standard deviation in annual rainfall is 3.4 inches, or about one-third of average annual rainfall. 7 Consecutive years of below average rainfall are fairly common. Since 1895, runs of below average rainfall lasting three or more years have occurred 13 times and runs lasting five or more years have occurred twice. The longest run lasted six years, from 2011 through 2016. While rainfall in the region is highly variable, there has been no statistically significant trend in the mean or variance of annual rainfall since 1895.

The District’s climate has been warming. Since 1895, average daily temperature has increased at an average rate of 0.013 degrees Fahrenheit per year. Mean annual temperature for 2010-2019 was 2.1 degrees Fahrenheit higher than for 1900-1909.

Service Area Population and Demographics
It is estimated that the District’s service area population was 147,032 in 2020.

The District estimates its service area population using Census Block population counts from decadal Census data. The decadal Census estimates are converted to average population per single- and multi-family service, which are applied to service counts for years between the decadal Censuses. This method is similar to the approach used by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) Population Tool and population estimates generated by the two methods have been shown to differ by less than a percent in most cases. 8 Current and projected service area population are shown in Table 3-1. Projected population is based on population and employment forecasts for Tulare County generated by the California Department of Transportation’s (Caltrans) long-term socio-economic forecast model. 9 Between 2020 and 2045, service area population is projected to increase at an average rate of 1.7 percent per year.

2010. 11 Agriculture is the most prominent land use within the General Plan’s Planning Area, occupying 39,518 acres or 65 percent of the land. Most of the agricultural land in the Planning Area is located outside of the current city limits, but even within these limits 15 percent of the land area is used in agriculture.

Low Density Residential (ranging from two to seven units per acre) is the second most prominent land use, comprising 11 percent of Planning Area land uses and 33 percent of land uses inside the current city limits. Medium and high density residential, various commercial and public, and light and heavy industrial land uses comprise most of the balance shown in Table 3-3.

There is significant room for further urban development within the District. Inside current city limits, the General Plan identifies 2,262 acres or 12 percent of the land as vacant. Outside current city limits an additional 656 acres are classified as vacant and 36,739 acres are classified as agricultural. While important objectives of the General Plan are aimed at preserving the agricultural character of the region and protecting and promoting agricultural businesses, it is also anticipated that some of the land currently in agricultural production will be converted to residential and non-residential urban uses to accommodate future growth. As shown in Table 3- 1, the District is projecting that service area population will increase by more than 50 percent over the next 25 years.

Chapter 4
Water Use Characterization
This chapter provides a description and quantifies the Visalia District’s (also referred to herein as the “District”) past, current, and projected water uses through 2045. For the purposes of the Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP or Plan), the terms “water use” and “water demand” are used interchangeably. This chapter is divided into the following subsections:

4.1 Non-Potable Versus Potable Water Use

4.2 Past, Current, and Projected Water Uses by Sector

4.3 Climate Change Considerations
Appendix D provides additional information and data related to the development of the water demand projections presented in this chapter.

4.1 Non-Potable Versus Potable Water Use
This Plan maintains a clear distinction between recycled, potable, and raw water uses and supplies. Recycled water is addressed comprehensively in Chapter 6, but a summary of recycled water demand is included in Table 4-3 of this chapter. The primary focus of this chapter is the historical and projected potable water uses in the District.

4.2 Past, Current, and Projected Water Uses by Sector

4.2.1 Past and Current Water Use
Table 4-1 shows water use in 2016-2020 by use type (referred to as “sector” in CWC §10631).

Water use has been decreasing in the District since the early-2000s. Several factors have contributed to this reduction. First, most of the District’s residential customers were unmetered in 2000. The District is now fully metered. A study completed by San Jose State University found that after six months of metering, previously unmetered households in the District reduced their water use by an average of 17 percent. 12 Second, California Water Service Company (Cal Water) implemented conservation pricing starting in 2009, supplying stronger financial incentives to use water efficiently. Third, starting around 2012, Cal Water tripled the level of expenditure on 12 Tanverakul, S. and J. Lee, 2015.

conservation programs aimed at helping customers use water more efficiently. Fourth, appliance efficiency standards and plumbing codes have contributed to significant improvement over time in the average water use efficiency of the installed base of appliances and plumbing fixtures. For example, a new toilet uses roughly one-third the amount of water as a toilet manufactured in the 1980s while a new clothes washer uses about half the amount of water as an older washer. 13 District per capita water use in 2020 was 30 percent below its 2004 peak.

Water use in 2020 was 30,152 acre-feet (AF). Residential customers account for most of the District’s service connections and 69 percent of its water uses. Non-residential water uses account for 28 percent of total demand, while distribution system losses account for 3 percent.

4.2.2 Projected Water Use
Projected water use through 2045 is summarized in Table 4-2. Projected water use is estimated as a function of expected service growth and a forecast of average water use per service for each 13 Water Research Foundation, 2016.

of the use types shown in the table. Projected population and services are based on population and employment forecasts for Tulare County generated by the California Department of Transportation’s (Caltrans) long-term socio-economic forecast model. 14 These projections are used to estimate the growth in services for each use type. Over the 25-year planning period (2020-2045), the total number of services is projected to increase at an average rate of 1.8 percent annually. For sake of comparison, between 2000 and 2020, the total number of services increased at an average rate of 2.4 percent annually. As described later in the chapter, average water use per service is adjusted over the forecast period to account for anticipated reductions in water use due to the ongoing effects of appliance standards and plumbing codes, the District’s conservation and customer assistance programs, and growth in the inflation-adjusted cost of water service and household income. These factors, in combination, are expected to attenuate the increase in water use associated with projected service and population growth.

Future water demands are expected to be comprised only of potable water use, as shown in Table 4-3. As discussed in Chapter 6, the City of Visalia has entered into agreements with Tulare Irrigation District (TID) to supply recycled water from its wastewater treatment facilities for groundwater recharge uses. None of the recycled water supplied to TID is expected to be used to meet the future water demands of District customers. 14 California Department of Transportation’s long-term socio-economic forecast model:

4.2.3 Distribution System Water Loss
Table 4-4 shows distribution system water losses for the previous five years. Water loss is the sum of apparent and real losses. Apparent loss is associated with metering inaccuracies, billing and administrative errors, authorized unmetered uses (e.g., system flushing and firefighting), and unauthorized uses. Real loss is associated with physical water lost through line breaks, leaks and seeps, and overflows of storage tanks. Since 2016, urban retail water suppliers have been required under CWC §10608.34 and California Code of Regulations (CCR) §638.1 et seq to quantify distribution system water losses using the American Water Works Association (AWWA) Free Water Audit Software (referred to as “water loss audit reports”). The water loss audit reports the District submits to DWR provide the basis for the 2016-2019 estimates shown in Table 4-4 and are available through DWR’s Water Use Efficiency Data Portal. 15 The District’s 2020 water 15 DWR’s Water Use Efficiency Data Portal: https://wuedata.water.ca.gov/awwa_plans  CWC § 10631 (3)

CWC §10631 (3)(c) requires that this UWMP demonstrate whether the distribution loss standards enacted by the State Water resources Control Board (SWRCB) pursuant to §10608.34 have been met. However, the SWRCB has yet to establish these standards, and thus consistency with these standards cannot be demonstrated herein.

4.2.4 Future Water Savings in Projected Water Use
As affirmed in Table 4-5, both future water savings (discussed below) and lower income residential demands (discussed in Section 4.2.5) are included in the projections of future water use.

(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.

Section 4.2.4
Are Lower Income Residential Demands Included In Projections? Yes NOTES:

As noted above, the District has adjusted the forecast of average water use per service for the effects of appliance standards and plumbing codes, conservation programs, and increases in the real cost of water service and household income. These adjustments are described below.

The District uses forecasts of per capita water savings from appliance standards and plumbing codes prepared for DWR to adjust its projections of average water use per service. 17 These forecasts incorporate the effects of the following codes and regulations:
• Assembly Bill (AB) 715, enacted in 2007, requires that any toilet or urinal sold or installed in California on or after January 1, 2014 cannot have a flush rating exceeding 1.28 and 0.5 gallons per flush, respectively. AB 715 superseded the state’s previous standards for toilet and urinal water use set in 1991 of 1.6 and 1.0 gallons per flush, respectively. On April 8, 2015, in response to the Governor’s Emergency Drought Response Executive Order (EO B-29-15), the California Energy Commission approved new standards for urinals requiring that they not consume more than 0.125 gallons per flush, 75 percent less than the standard set by AB 715. • Water use standards for residential and commercial clothes washers and dishwashers are established by the U.S. Department of Energy through its authority under the federal Energy Policy and Conservation Act. Water use efficiency is summarized by the water factor for the appliance which measures the gallons of water used per cycle per cubic foot of capacity. A typical top-loading residential clothes washer manufactured in the 1990s had a water factor of around 12. In 2015, the allowable water factor for top- and front-loading residential clothes was reduced to 8.4 and 4.7, respectively. In 2018, water factor standard for top-loading residential clothes washers will be reduced to 6.5. In 2010 the allowable water factor for topand front-loading commercial clothes washers was reduced to 8.5 and 5.5, respectively. The maximum water factor for Energy Star compliant top- and front-loading washers is 3.7 and

4.3, respectively. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that Energy Star washers made up at least 60 percent of the residential market and 30 percent of the 17 M.Cubed, 2016.

commercial market in 2011. 18 An Energy Star compliant washer uses about two-thirds less water per cycle than washers manufactured in the 1990s. Federal dishwasher water use efficiency standards were last updated in 2013. The maximum water use for standard and compact sized dishwashers is 5.0 and 3.5 gallons per cycle, respectively. • New construction and renovations in California are now subject to CalGreen Code requirements. CalGreen includes prescriptive indoor provisions for maximum water consumption of plumbing fixtures and fittings in new and renovated properties. CalGreen also allows for an optional performance path to compliance, which requires an overall aggregate 20 percent reduction in indoor water use from a calculated baseline using a set of worksheets provided with the CalGreen guidelines.
• Senate Bill (SB) 407, enacted in 2009, mandates that all buildings in California come up to current State plumbing fixture standards within this decade. This law establishes requirements that residential and commercial property built and available for use on or before January 1, 1994 replace plumbing fixtures that are not water conserving, defined as “noncompliant plumbing fixtures.” This law also requires effective January 1, 2017 that a seller or transferor of single-family residential property show to the purchaser or transferee, in writing, the specified requirements for replacing plumbing fixtures and whether the real property includes noncompliant plumbing. Similar disclosure requirements went into effect for multi-family and commercial transactions January 1, 2019. SB 837, passed in 2011, reinforces the disclosure requirement by amending the statutorily required transfer disclosure statement to include disclosure about whether the property follows SB 407 requirements.

The District’s 2015 Conservation Master Plan forms the basis for the forecast of water savings from conservation programs. Cal Water used the Alliance for Water Efficiency’s Water Conservation Tracking Tool to estimate expected water savings from planned program implementation. 19
Projected increases in water service costs and household income form the basis for the adjustments to average water use due to changes in the real cost of water service. The forecast uses the historical rate of increase in District water rates to project future water service costs. It uses Caltrans income projections for Tulare County to estimate changes in household income. It uses empirically derived estimates of price and income demand elasticity to adjust future water demand for changes in these variables. 20

This law requires that local governments supply a copy of their adopted housing element to water and sewer providers. Additionally, it requires that water providers grant priority for service allocations to developments that include housing units for lower income families and workers. The UWMP Act requires that water providers estimate water demands by lower income single and multi-family households.

Cal Water must serve all development that occurs within its service area, regardless of the income level of the future residents. Cal Water does not keep records of the income level of its customers and does not discriminate when supplying water to any development. It is the responsibility of the city or county with land use authority over a given area to approve or not approve developments within Cal Water’s service areas. Cal Water has a Customer Assistance Program (CAP) to help with water service affordability. CAP discounts the monthly service charge of qualifying lower income households.

Table 4-7 shows projected water use by lower income households. These demands are part of the projected residential water use in Table 4-2. Cal Water used the City of Visalia’s General Plan  CWC § 10631.1
(a) The water use projections required by Section 10631 shall include projected water use for single-family and multifamily residential housing needed for lower income households, as defined in Section 50079.5 of the Health and Safety Code, as identified in the housing element of any city, county, or city and county in the service area of the supplier.
(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 requirements 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.

4.2.6 Characteristic Five-Year Water Use
CWC §10635(b) is a new requirement for 2020 UWMPs. A critical part of this new statutory language is the requirement to prepare a five-year Drought Risk Assessment (see Section 9.5). As a first step, DWR suggests that water suppliers estimate their unconstrained water demand for the next five years (2021-2025). Unconstrained water demand is water use in the absence of drought water use restrictions. Drought conditions cause unconstrained demands to increase.

The Drought Risk Assessment presented in Section 9.5 accounts for this increase in unconstrained water demand. Cal Water’s demand forecast model separately estimates water use for normal, wet, and dry weather conditions. Table 4-8 shows unconstrained demands for 2021-2025 for normal weather and multiple-dry-year scenarios.

4.3 Climate Change Considerations
Climate strongly influences the level and seasonal pattern of District water demands. Cal Water has analyzed the effect of climate and weather variability on both aspects of demand. 22 Using this information, Cal Water has estimated the effect of alternative climate warming scenarios on future water demand. 23 Table 4-9 summarizes the results of this analysis. It shows that for plausible emission scenarios and corresponding temperature increases, climate change may, on average, increase future District demands by 2 to 3 percent compared to current climate conditions. Two points are worth noting. First, this is the average effect. There is significant variation about the mean. Second, this is a ceteris paribus, or all else equal, result. It assumes existing levels and types of landscaping. However, landscaping choices are partly a function of climate and as the climate changes, so too may these choices. It is reasonable to think households and businesses will adapt their landscaping as the climate warms. This adaptation may mitigate some of the expected demand increase shown in the table. 22 A&N Technical Services, 2014. Cal Water Long-Term Water Demand Forecast Model. Report prepared for California Water Service Company. December 2014. 23 Table 4-9 uses climate scenarios for the southwestern United States. These in turn rely on alternative greenhouse gas emission scenarios. Emissions under scenario A2 are higher than under scenario B2. The 80th percentile scenario is the 80th percentile temperature change for the full suite of emission scenarios. For further information, see Kunkel, K.E, L.E. Stevens, S.E. Stevens, L. Sun, E.

Chapter 5
SB X7-7 Baseline and Targets
The Water Conservation Act of 2009, also known as Senate Bill (SB) X7-7, requires that urban retail water suppliers reduce their per capita water use by 20 percent by 2020. SB X7-7 defines an urban retail water supplier as “a water supplier, either publicly or privately owned, that directly provides potable municipal water to more than 3,000 end users or that supplies more than 3,000 acre-feet of potable water annually at retail for municipal purposes” (CWC §10608.12). The Visalia District meets both criteria. The state will assess each urban retail water supplier’s 2020 per capita water use against the target it established in its 2015 urban water management plan (UWMP).

This chapter demonstrates the District’s compliance with its SB X7-7 per capita water use target and includes the following sections:

5.1 Wholesale Suppliers

5.2 Updates to the 2015 UWMP Calculations
 CWC § 10608.24 (b)
Each urban retail water supplier shall meet its urban water use target by December 31, 2020.  CWC § 10608.28
(a) An urban retail water supplier may meet its urban water use target within its retail service area, or through mutual agreement, by any of the following:
(1) Through an urban wholesale water supplier.
(2) Through a regional agency authorized to plan and implement water conservation, including, but not limited to, an agency established under the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency Act (Division 31 (commencing with Section 81300)).
(3) Through a regional water management group as defined in Section 10537. (4) By an integrated regional water management funding area. (5) By hydrologic region.
(6) Through other appropriate geographic scales for which computation methods have been developed by the department.
(b) A regional water management group, with the written consent of its member agencies, may undertake any or all planning, reporting, and implementation functions under this chapter for the member agencies that consent to those activities. Any data or reports shall provide information both for the regional water management group and separately for each consenting urban retail water supplier and urban wholesale water supplier. 1139

5.5 Demonstration of Compliance with SB X7-7 2020 Target

5.6 Demonstration of Compliance with Regional Alliance SB X7-7 2020 Target

5.1 Wholesale Suppliers
SB X7-7 does not directly apply to wholesale water suppliers. Wholesale suppliers may adopt programs and policies that support SB X7-7 compliance by the retail water suppliers they serve.

They may also take part in a Regional Alliance (discussed below) set up to satisfy SB X7-7 requirements on a regional basis. As discussed in Chapter 2, the District is not a wholesale water supplier and does not receive water supply from any wholesale water supplier. This section therefore does not apply.

5.2 Updates to the 2015 UWMP Calculations
The District has not made any changes to the information in its 2015 UWMP pertaining to SB X7-7.

5.3 Service Area Population
Service area population estimation must satisfy the requirements in Methodology 2 – Service Area Population – of DWR’s Methodologies for Calculating Baseline and Compliance Urban Per Capita Water Use. California Water Service Company (Cal Water)’s population estimation method is similar to the method used by DWR’s Population Tool. 24 DWR reviewed and accepted Cal Water’s population estimation method as part of the review of its 2015 UWMPs. Cal Water used this method to estimate the District’s 2020 service area population. As reported in Chapter 3, the District’s population was 147,032 in 2020.
24 Cal Water estimates service area population using census block population data with the LandView 5 and MARPLOT software programs. In census years, the method estimates service area population using the population counts of census blocks with centroids falling within the District’s service boundary. In off-census years, the method estimates population by adjusting the census year estimates for changes in the number of single- and multi-family service connections and dwelling units. As shown in the District’s 2015 UWMP, estimates prepared using this method and DWR’s Population Tool typically differ by less than a percent. Cal Water prefers using its method to be consistent with its other planning documents. 1140

Groundwater is the sole source of water supply for the Visalia District. This section includes information regarding the underlying basin descriptions, groundwater management, and Cal Water’s coordination with the applicable Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs), followed by a discussion of historical pumping and supply sufficiency.

Basin Description and Status
As shown on Figure 6-1, the three Public Water Systems (PWSs) that comprise the Visalia District overlie the Kaweah Subbasin (California Department of Water Resources [DWR] Basin No. 5- 022.11) and the Tule Subbasin (DWR Basin No. 5-022.13) of the San Joaquin Valley Basin. The Visalia PWS and the Tulco PWS overly the Kaweah Subbasin while the very small Mullen PWS overlies the Tule Subbasin.

It should be noted that pumping by the Mullen PWS in the Tule Subbasin has historically comprised approximately 0.1% of the total District pumping. Given this, projected District demands included in this Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP or Plan) are not apportioned by groundwater subbasin, but presented on a District-wide basis. However, because the District overlies both basins, for purposes of the following analysis, both the Kaweah and Tule Subbasins are considered. The Kaweah and Tule Subbasins are not adjudicated; however, in its recent evaluation of California’s groundwater basins, DWR determined that both subbasins are in a condition of critical overdraft. 25
Kaweah Subbasin
The Kaweah Subbasin covers an area of approximately 446,000 acres (696 square miles) in the San Joaquin Valley and lies between the Kings Subbasin on the north, the Tule Subbasin on the south, crystalline bedrock of the Sierra Nevada foothills on the east, and the Tulare Lake subbasin on the west. 26
The Kaweah Subbasin is designated as a high priority basin under DWR’s 2019 Phase 2 Basin Prioritization. 27 Under this prioritization process, basins are ranked on eight components, and if a basin is assigned more than 21 total points, it is defined as “high priority.” The main factors driving the designation in the Kaweah Subbasin include irrigated acreage per square mile (5 out of 5 possible points), population growth (5 out of 5 possible points), and groundwater reliance (5 out of 5 possible points). Additional factors include documented impacts including declining groundwater levels and subsidence (4 out of 5 possible points) and total well density (4 out of 5 25 DWR, 2019.

possible points). 28 However, because the subbasin is critically overdrafted, it is assigned 40 priority points, which is the maximum total points under DWR’s ranking system.

Tule Subbasin
The Tule Subbasin covers an area of approximately 475,895 acres (744 square miles) and is located almost entirely within Tulare County. The Tule Subbasin is delineated by various water districts, the largest of which is the Lower Tule River Irrigation District. The eastern boundary of the subbasin is the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. The southern and western boundaries generally follow the Tulare County line. 29
The Tule Subbasin is designated as a high priority basin under DWR’s 2019 Phase 2 Basin Prioritization. 30 The main factors driving the designation in the Tule Subbasin include irrigated acreage per square mile (5 out of 5 possible points) and groundwater reliance (5 out of 5 possible points). Additional factors include documented impacts including declining groundwater levels and subsidence (4 out of 5 possible points) and population growth (4 out of 5 possible points). 31 However, because the subbasin is critically overdrafted, it is assigned 40 priority points, which is the maximum total points under DWR’s ranking system.
28 DWR’s 2019 Phase 2 Basin Prioritization used the basin’s total possible ranking points assigned to each of the eight components to determine the priority. A basin is defined as High Priority if it has more than 21 total ranking points. 29 DWR, 2018. Bulletin 118 Basin Boundary Description, Tule Subbasin, dated March 2018. 30 DWR, 2019.

Non-SGMA Groundwater Management
Kaweah Subbasin
Prior to the passage of SGMA, the Kaweah Subbasin was managed according to the Kaweah River Basin IRWMP. The most recent update to the Kaweah River Basin IRWMP was adopted in July 2018. The objectives identified by the Kaweah River Basin Regional Water Management Group and stated in the IRWMP fall into five categories: (1) groundwater management, (2) water supply, (3) water quality, (4) flood control, and (5) ecosystem restoration. 32 These objectives were used to inform water management strategies and potential project proposals to accomplish the goals of the region. The Kaweah Subbasin GSPs (discussed below) supersede the IRWMP as the groundwater management plan for the Kaweah Subbasin.

The Kaweah Delta Water Conservation District (KDWCD) and other irrigation districts and companies have historically managed groundwater through the conjunctive use of surface water.

KDWCD regularly provides programs that benefit local agricultural customers by making available additional surface water supplies for irrigation. These programs effectively reduce the withdrawals of groundwater resulting in in-lieu recharge of the aquifer. Groundwater is normally 32 Kaweah River Basin Regional Water Management Group, 2018.

used by agriculture as an alternate source when surface supplies are not available, and is the sole source in areas within KDWCD jurisdiction that do not have access to surface water.

The KDWCD also operates dedicated water management basins for the multiple purposes of flood control and groundwater replenishment. The basins have the capacity to recharge the underlying groundwater basin. Normal operation of these facilities provides both the direct and indirect groundwater recharge of the basin in the form of conveyance losses and from agricultural applications of surface water that percolate into the aquifer.

In areas of the Lower Kaweah River such as Packwood and Cameron Creeks, surface water deliveries are managed by Tulare Irrigation District (TID) and other irrigation districts and companies. The City of Visalia (City) maintains a groundwater recharge program that provides localized benefit to the Visalia District; Cal Water customers fund the program through a groundwater pumping charge. Under this program the City works cooperatively with KDWCD and these irrigation districts and companies to manage groundwater resources.

Tule Subbasin
Prior to the passage of SGMA, the Tule Subbasin was managed according to the Tule River Basin IRWMP. The most recent update to the Tule River Basin IRWMP was adopted in June 2018. The goals identified by the Tule River Basin Integrated Regional Water Management Group stated in the IRWMP include: (1) maintain or improve the health of ecosystems within the region, (2) protection of life, structure, equipment, and property from flooding (3) reduction of contamination of surface and groundwater resources, (4) expand regional response to climate change through mitigation and adaption strategies, and (5) work toward achievement of sustainable balanced surface and groundwater supplies. 33 These goals were used to inform resource management strategies and potential project proposals to accomplish the goals of the region. The Eastern Tule GSP (discussed below) supersedes the IRWMP as the groundwater management plan for the portion of the Tule Subbasin where the Mullen PWS is located.

SGMA Groundwater Management
In 2014, the California State Legislature enacted SGMA with subsequent amendments in 2015.

Among other things, SGMA requires the formation of GSAs and the development and implementation of GSPs for groundwater basins that are designated by DWR as medium or high priority. As high priority, critically overdrafted and non-adjudicated basins, the Kaweah and Tule Subbasins are subject to the requirements of SGMA.

Kaweah Subbasin
Three GSAs were formed to collectively assume responsibility for sustainable groundwater management of the Kaweah Subbasin. The three GSAs within the Basin include: the Mid-Kaweah GSA, East Kaweah GSA, and Greater Kaweah GSA. Each GSA prepared an individual GSP, but certain technical efforts (e.g., development of a coordinated water budget) were cooperatively developed through a Coordination Agreement.

As shown in Figure 6-1, the majority of the Visalia PWS falls within the jurisdiction of the MidKaweah GSA, which covers an area of approximately 104,320 acres in the central to southwestern side of the Kaweah Subbasin. The Mid-Kaweah GSA was formed September 14, 2015, through execution of a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) between the City of Tulare, City of Visalia, and TID to establish the Mid-Kaweah Groundwater Subbasin JPA. The Mid-Kaweah GSA GSP was submitted to DWR on January 31, 2020. 34
Small portions of the Visalia PWS and the entirety of the Tulco PWS fall within the jurisdiction of the Greater Kaweah GSA, which covers an area of approximately 217,600 acres across the Kaweah Subbasin. The Greater Kaweah GSA was formed August 23, 2016, through execution of a JPA between the KDWCD, the County of Tulare, Kings County Water District, Lakeside Irrigation District, and St. Johns Water District. The Greater Kaweah GSA GSP was submitted to DWR on January 31, 2020. 35
As defined under SGMA, sustainable yield means “the maximum quantity of water, calculated over a base period representative of long-term conditions in a basin and including any temporary surplus, that can be withdrawn annually from a groundwater supply without causing undesirable results.” 36 The three GSAs within the Kaweah Subbasin determined a subbasin-wide sustainable yield of 660,000 acre-feet per year (AFY), which was further apportioned among the GSAs in the Kaweah Subbasin Coordination Agreement. 37
Projects and management actions described in the Mid-Kaweah GSA GSP include: groundwater recharge projects and programs, surface reservoir projects, leveraged surface water exchange programs, a groundwater extraction measurement implementation program, a conceptual groundwater marketing program, and future urban and agricultural conservation. The MidKaweah GSA GSP states that the GSA will work during the period from 2020 to 2025 to develop a pumping allocation program to achieve, along with neighboring GSAs, the Kaweah Subbasin’s sustainable yield by 2040. The Mid-Kaweah GSA plans to prioritize the projects/programs above 34 Mid-Kaweah GSA, 2019. Mid-Kaweah GSA GSP, dated December 2019. 35 Greater Kaweah GSA, 2020.

to serve as the first means to achieve sustainability, but by 2026, it is anticipated that an allocation plan would be ready for implementation if necessary to achieve sustainability. 38 Projects and management actions described in the Greater Kaweah GSA GSP include: new recharge and storage facilities, improvements to existing recharge basins, and agricultural and urban conservation. Additionally, the Greater Kaweah GSA GSP discusses the potential use of flow meters, which would allow for management programs including fees and incentives, a groundwater market, and allocations. The Greater Kaweah GSA GSP specifically states that an allocation program will be considered in the event that other management actions fall short of the Greater Kaweah GSA’s objectives. 39
Tule Subbasin
Seven GSAs were formed to collectively assume responsibility for sustainable groundwater management of the Tule Subbasin. The seven GSAs within the Basin include: ETGSA, Tri-County Water Authority GSA, Pixley Irrigation District GSA, Lower Tule River Irrigation District GSA, Delano-Earlimart Irrigation District GSA, Alpaugh GSA, and Tulare County GSA. Each GSA prepared an individual GSP, but certain technical efforts (e.g., development of a coordinated water budget and sustainability goal) were cooperatively developed through a Coordination Agreement.

The Mullen PWS portion of the Visalia District falls within the jurisdiction of the ETGSA, which covers an area of approximately 160,867 acres in the southeastern portion of Tulare County. The ETGSA was formed December 6, 2016, through execution of a JPA between the City of Porterville, Porterville Irrigation District, Saucelito Irrigation District, Teapot Dome Water District, Vandalia Water District, Terra Bella Irrigation District, Kern-Tulare Water District, and Tulare County. The ETGSA GSP was submitted to DWR on January 31, 2020. 40
The seven GSAs within the Tule Subbasin determined a basin-wide sustainable yield of 130,000 AFY 41 which has not been further allocated at the present time. The ETGSA GSP includes plans to develop a groundwater accounting system to track groundwater use and establish an allocation structure to be used during the SGMA implementation period. The most recent annual report published by the ETGSA states that the groundwater accounting action remains under development. 42 Other projects and management actions described in the ETGSA GSP include:
fees and incentives, land subsidence management and monitoring, existing water supply optimization projects, surface water development projects, managed aquifer recharge and 38 Mid-Kaweah GSA, 2019.

banking projects, and agricultural land retirement (fallowing) projects. The ETGSA GSP states that, through the implementation of the projects and management actions above, the ETGSA can achieve and maintain groundwater sustainability in its jurisdictional area. 43 Cal Water Coordination with Groundwater Sustainability Agencies Cal Water’s groundwater basin management philosophy continues to be to work collaboratively with all stakeholders in the basins where we operate and to do what is best for the groundwater basin including the sharing of burden(s) and benefits on an equitable basis with said stakeholders.

Cal Water recognizes and deeply supports the goals, objectives, and intended outcomes of the SGMA. Moreover, the company recognizes the numerous challenges of implementing the legislation along a variety of technical, legal, political, and financial/economic dimensions, particularly when the geographical diversity of the Cal Water’s service territory is considered.

None-the-less, Cal Water intends to take an active role in the local and state-wide management of groundwater resources over the next five to 25+ years by fully supporting and participating in the principal edicts of SGMA. A number of specific steps that Cal Water has taken with respect to this position and role include (among others):
• Cal Water has appointed representatives to serve on the Greater Kaweah GSA Board and the Mid-Kaweah GSA Technical Advisory Committee (TAC);
• Coordination with public agencies to ensure that Cal Water’s presence, rights and interests, as well as historical and current resource management concerns are honored/incorporated within the GSA and GSP formulation process(es); • Coordination with applicable local and regulatory agencies to ensure that Cal Water is at full participation, while also meeting the requirements and expectations set forth by SGMA;
• Enhanced use of digital/electronic groundwater monitoring equipment and other new technology aimed at measuring withdrawal rates, pumping water levels, and key water quality parameters within the context of day-to-day operations; • Participation in the development of GSP's and formulation of groundwater models being constructed in basins where Cal Water has an operating presence; • Participation in individual and/or joint projects aimed at mitigating seawater intrusion and other "undesirable results" where appropriate;
• Inclusion of sound groundwater management principles and data in all applicable technical reports, studies, facility master plans, and UWMPs (including this 2020 update), 43 ETGSA, 2020. ETGSA GSP, dated January 2020.

particularly as these undertakings relate or pertain to water resource adequacy and reliability; and,
• Inclusion of sound groundwater management principles and data in all general rate case (GRC) filings and grant applications to ensure that resource management objectives remain visible and central to Cal Water’s long-term planning/budgeting efforts.

Historical Pumping and Supply Sufficiency
The groundwater used by the Visalia District is extracted from the underlying Kaweah and Tule Subbasins. The District has a total of 59 active wells located within the Visalia PWS, two wells within the Mullen PWS, and one well within the Tulco PWS service area boundaries shown in Figure 6-1.

There are four surface storage structures, enabling the groundwater wells to pump to storage during non-peak demand periods and provide peak day demand. The District has sufficient production capacity to supply all of the District’s current annual average day and maximum day demand.

As noted above, groundwater is the only source of supply for the Visalia District. Table 6-1 lists the amount of groundwater pumped by Cal Water over the past five years. The available groundwater supply has been sufficient to meet all of the District’s demands in the past five years and all prior years.

Section 7.1.1 presents an analysis of the availability of groundwater supply for the District based on historical groundwater use and review of available information regarding groundwater supply availability to the Visalia District, including the impacts of SGMA. Based on the available information, the available groundwater supply is expected to be sufficient to meet the projected future demands of the District in normal and multiple dry year periods through 2045. It should be noted that the Kaweah and Tule Subbasins are not adjudicated, and the projected groundwater supply volumes are not intended to and do not determine, limit or represent Cal Water’s water rights or maximum pumping volumes. Any determination of Cal Water’s water rights, as an overlying owner, appropriator, municipal water purveyor or otherwise, is beyond the scope of this report and the UWMP statutes and regulations. 1153
