It evaluates water supply reliability under normal, dry, and drought conditions and demonstrates compliance with state water planning requirements.

Recycled Water Master Plan

It identifies new users, expansion opportunities, and capital improvements to increase the use of drought‑resistant recycled water.

Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP)
