SCV Water Agency Urges Public Input On Water Shortage Contingency Plan

The Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency (SCV Water) is expected to hold a virtual workshop on Thursday for the public to learn about and provide input on their Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP).

SCV Water invites the public to take part in the virtual workshop on Thursday, Jan. 28, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. to discuss the WSCP that, along with the Urban Water Management Plan, directs suppliers’ long term resource planning to ensure that adequate water supplies are available. 

In an effort to improve water conservation and water shortage planning, the WSCP is expected to enable SCV Water to prioritize mitigation actions when water shortage conditions occur, such as drought, earthquakes, fires, or other events.

Thursday’s workshop is set to address the key points of WSCP, including assessing the reliability of water supplies, developing annual assessment procedures and monitoring and reporting systems, creating shortage response actions, establishing communications protocols, building a compliance and enforcement program and evaluating financial, material, and resource impacts.

Attendees are also set to have an opportunity to ask questions and provide input, according to SCV Water.

SCV Water Agency Urges Public Input On Water Shortage Contingency Plan

  1. Simple, stop building so many new high-density housing projects throughout the valley. Just one project estimated daily water usage at 76k gallons for 350 homes. It and other projects are quickly rubber-stamped with no concerns at all about water. The ‘shortage’ is either not real, or it keeps coming up so they can raise rates. If it were truly this dire, we wouldnt be building so many new units.

  2. As long as board members are able to profit by permitting MORE and MORE residential construction (both SFR and MFR) this will remain an ongoing issue. I recommend voting with your feet. We’ll be outta here (California) in two years. The place of my birth has gone too far. We’re going somewhere where we can still feel “heard” and have the freedom to say and do what we want. The options for that are winnowing down daily…Vote with your feet and bring your tax base with you.
