Water Shortage Contingency Plan Template Input Workshop for Schools with a Water System

Water Shortage Contingency Plan Template Development for Small Water Suppliers

Context: In September 2021, Senate Bill 552 (SB 552) was signed by Governor Newsom and enacted into law. SB 552 includes new responsibilities and requirements at both the state and local level to help small water suppliers and rural communities reduce their risk of inadequate water supply amid a water shortage event.

Participants may wish to attend one or both of the informational sessions. During each of the workshops, DWR and State Water Board staff will:

  • provide an overview of the legislation requirements,
