City of Buena Park Water Shortage Contingency Plan 2025-2050
The Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) outlines the City of Buena Park's strategy to prepare for and respond to water shortages, ensuring compliance with California Water Code Section 10632. This plan serves as an operating manual to maintain reliable water supplies, reduce supply interruption impacts, and prevent catastrophic service disruptions through proactive management. Key components include an analysis of water supply reliability, procedures for an Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment, definition of six standard water shortage levels with corresponding response actions (supply augmentation, demand reduction, operational changes, and mandatory restrictions), communication protocols, and compliance mechanisms. The WSCP aims to enable efficient and accountable management of water shortages through predetermined steps, aligning with the broader 2025 Urban Water Management Plan.
