The San Lorenzo Valley Water District (District) is requesting proposals from qualified consulting firms to prepare the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan Update (UWMP Update) in compliance with the requirements of the California Urban Water Management Planning Act (Water Code Sections 10610-10656) and the Department of Water Resources (DWR) 2025 UWMP Guidebook. The 2025 UWMP Update will build upon the District's existing 2020 Urban Water Management Plan and result in a standalone, updated plan that satisfies all statutory and regulatory requirements for submittal to DWR by **July 1, 2026**. The San Lorenzo Valley Water District (SLVWD), established in 1941, serves approximately 7,900 service connections and a population of about 23,200 across several unincorporated communities in Santa Cruz County, including Boulder Creek, Ben Lomond, Felton, Lompico, and Zayante. The District's water supply is derived entirely from the San Lorenzo River watershed, utilizing a combination of surface and groundwater sources. SLVWD operates two primary service areas: the North Service Area (21.7 square miles) and the Felton Service Area (2.2 square miles). The District relies on nine active surface diversions, one spring, and eight active groundwater wells. Key wellfields include Quail Hollow, Olympia, and Pasatiempo. Water treatment is provided through the Lyon Surface Water Treatment Plant, Kirby Treatment Plant, and associated facilities. The District's rugged topography and dispersed development result in a complex distribution system of thirty-six pressure zones. Storage capacity is limited, requiring near real-time production and treatment management. The UWMP Update will reflect these system characteristics and the ongoing work with the Santa Margarita Groundwater Agency (SMGWA) to ensure sustainable groundwater management under the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). The objective of this project is to update the District's Urban Water Management Plan to: Reflect current population, demand, and supply conditions specific to the District. Incorporate infrastructure improvements, conservation programs, and supply projects. Ensure compliance with DWR's 2025 UWMP submittal requirements. Produce a standalone document for SLVWD that supports long-term water supply planning and regulatory compliance. Prepare all required DWR tables and narratives. **Task 7 - Draft and Final UWMP Preparation** Prepare Administrative Draft and Public Review Draft versions. Assist staff in public review and Board hearing presentation. Revise per comments and prepare Final Adopted UWMP. **Task 8-DWR Submittal and Corrections** Submit final plan electronically through the DWR portal by July 1, 2026. Address any DWR review comments and resubmit final documents.
