CUWCC
California Urban Water Conservation Council
Increase efficient water use statewide through partnerships among urban water agencies, public interest organizations, and private
entities
Three signatory groups– Urban water suppliers– Public interest groups– Other interested parties
Memorandum of Understanding

Best Management Practices
Urban Water Conservation Practices intended to reduce California’s long-term water use
Reduce the State’s water demand using sound economic criteria.
Integrate urban water conservation practices into planning and management of California’s water resources– 14 BMPs– 11 PBMPs

Long-Term Supply Option
Demand Management Saves capital & operating costs
– Utility– Consumer
Avoids environmental impacts Reliable local supply Reduces wastewater flows
![Page 9: Water Conservation in the San Diego Region Bill Jacoby San Diego County Water Authority North Bay Water Association April 2, 2004.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649ce05503460f949a9de8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Short-Term Supply Option
Look for immediate water savings
Implement in times of drought or other emergencies
For the last decade the focus has been on long-term demand management
Helps avoid peaking
