This document outlines the East Valley Water District's (EVWD) 2019 Sewer System Master Plan, updating the previous 2013 plan and its hydraulic model. The plan aims to provide cost-effective and reliable sewer services by evaluating the sewer system under existing, near-term, and build-out conditions. Key objectives include updating and calibrating the sewer system model, identifying septic system users for conversion, and proposing capital improvement projects and actions to meet future sewer system needs and maximize flows to the Sterling Natural Resources Center.

The 2020 Integrated Regional Urban Water Management Plan outlines the East Valley Water District's comprehensive strategy for sustainable water resource management. It details the District's system, current and projected water use, diverse water supply sources including groundwater, surface water, imported, and recycled water. Key focus areas include water service reliability, drought risk assessment, water shortage contingency planning, and demand management measures, all aimed at ensuring efficient and reliable water supply through 2045.
