	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 664, Hertzberg. Water: urban water management planning.
   Existing law, the Urban Water Management Planning Act, requires
every urban water supplier to prepare and adopt an urban water
management plan for submission to the Department of Water Resources
and other entities that includes specified content, including an
urban water shortage contingency analysis. Existing law requires this
analysis to include actions to be undertaken by the urban water
supplier to prepare for, and implement during, a catastrophic
interruption of water supplies, including an earthquake. Existing law
requires an urban water supplier to update its plan at least once
every 5 years on or before December 31, in years ending in 5 and 0,
except that the 2015 plan is required to be updated and submitted to
the department by July 1, 2016.
   This bill would require an urban water supplier to include within
its plan, beginning January 1, 2020, a seismic risk assessment and
mitigation plan to assess the vulnerability of each of the various
facilities of a water system and mitigate those vulnerabilities. This
bill would authorize an urban water supplier to comply with this
requirement by submitting a copy of the most recent adopted local
hazard mitigation plan or multihazard mitigation plan under specified
federal law that addresses seismic risk.


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

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