similar type of annual report to inform citizens about the reliability of their water supply systems, <br />the drought and growth- related risk factors that may affect the reliability their water supplies, <br />and the measures that would be implemented in response to drought. Such a report should <br />provide the following types of information: <br />➢ A summary description of the existing water supply system including water supply sources; <br />diversion, collection, storage and treatment facilities; water rights and water supplies secured <br />by contracts or leases. <br />➢ An assessment of the long -term sustainability of the existing water supply system (water <br />supply sources and facilities) and the risk factors that could impact sustainability and the cost <br />of service. <br />➢ The utility's drought response plan, including circumstances under which water use <br />restrictions could be imposed, the specific types of water use restrictions, and the likely <br />magnitude and recurrence interval of such restrictions given the existing water supply system <br />and existing water demands (including water service contract obligations). <br />➢ The status of planning efforts to provide for growth including proposed new water supply <br />sources, water conservation and efficiency measures. <br />➢ An assessment of the frequency and extent of drought- related water restrictions that would <br />occur considering planned -for growth in water demand, proposed demand management <br />measures and reasonably certain future water supplies. <br />➢ A disclosure of who makes land use and annexation decisions for the utility's water supply <br />service area. <br />The availability of this information to water consumers would serve to educate the public about <br />importance of water and circumstances that could impact the reliability of their water supply. <br />
