	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1036, Pavley. Urban water management plans.
   Existing law, the Urban Water Management Planning Act, requires
every public and private urban water supplier that directly or
indirectly provides water for municipal purposes to prepare and adopt
an urban water management plan. The act requires each urban water
supplier to update its plan at least once every 5 years on or before
December 31, in years ending in 5 and zero, and requires an urban
water supplier to submit copies of its plan and copies of amendments
or changes to the plan to certain entities, including the Department
of Water Resources.
   This bill would authorize an urban water supplier to include
within an urban water management plan certain energy-related
information, including, but not limited to, an estimate of the amount
of energy used to extract or divert water supplies. This bill would
require the department to include in its guidance for the preparation
of urban water management plans a methodology for the voluntary
calculation or estimation of the energy intensity of urban water
systems.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 10631.2 is added to the Water Code, to read:
   10631.2.  (a) In addition to the requirements of Section 10631, an
urban water management plan may, but is not required to, include any
of the following information:
   (1) An estimate of the amount of energy used to extract or divert
water supplies.
   (2) An estimate of the amount of energy used to convey water
supplies to the water treatment plants or distribution systems.
   (3) An estimate of the amount of energy used to treat water
supplies.
   (4) An estimate of the amount of energy used to distribute water
supplies through its distribution systems.
   (5) An estimate of the amount of energy used for treated water
supplies in comparison to the amount used for nontreated water
supplies.
   (6) An estimate of the amount of energy used to place water into
or withdraw from storage.
   (7) Any other energy-related information the urban water supplier
deems appropriate.
   (b) The department shall include in its guidance for the
preparation of urban water management plans a methodology for the
voluntary calculation or estimation of the energy intensity of urban
water systems. The department may consider studies and calculations
conducted by the Public Utilities Commission in developing the
methodology.
