Action Plan Related to the State Water Resources Control Board
Mandatory Restrictions to Achieve a 36% Reduction in Potable Urban
Water Use
On May 5, 2015, the State Water Resources Control Board (“SWRCB”) adopted emergency
regulations to achieve a 25% statewide reduction in potable urban water use. These stringent
water use regulations will require the Yucaipa Valley Water District to achieve a 36% reduction
from the amount of drinking water produced in 2013. In order to achieve this level of water
conservation, the Yucaipa Valley Water District will need to provide water based on the following
water demand curve.
Actual Water Consumption and Drought Regulatory Requirements
500,000
450,000
400,000
