The City of Fillmore (City) is currently in the process of reviewing and updating its Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) for the 2020 cycle. The City is also preparing a Water Shortage Contingency Plan, a detailed proposal for the City’s actions in the event of a water shortage condition. The Department of Water Resources requires water suppliers to update their UWMP every five years. Among other things, the UWMP will evaluate current and projected water supplies and demands within the City’s service area over a 20-year planning horizon.

The City encourages local agencies, the public, and other interested parties in its service area to participate in the update process. The City plans to make a copy of the draft 2020 UWMP available for public review by early October 2022. At that time, the plans will be available for review on the City’s website along with additional information, at https://www.fillmoreca.com/aboutus/news-list.
