Therefore, imported water <br />demands for the City of Santa Ana are projected to be met through the 20-year requirements of <br />SB 610 and beyond. The City of Santa Ana 2020 UWMP also confirmed the ability of the local <br />supplies and the OC Basin to meet the growing demands of the City. The ability of the City to <br />meet these growing demands in multiple climate scenarios is explained in the sections below. <br />4. REGIONAL WATER SUPPLY RELIABILITY <br />The City of Santa Ana currently depends on Metropolitan and local groundwater resources to <br />provide majority of its water supply. This section provides a description of the ability of <br />Metropolitan, OCWD, and the City to ensure that adequate water supplies will be available to <br />satisfy the City’s growing water demands including the proposed Project through 2045 during <br />normal, single dry year, and multiple dry year scenarios. <br />4.1 METROPOLITAN WATER DISTRICT REGIONAL WATER SUPPLY RELIABILITY <br />Metropolitan’s 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) was finalized in June 2021 and <br />has been prepared in compliance with Water Code Sections 10608.36 of SB X7-7 and Sections <br />10610 through 10656 of the Urban Water Management Planning Act (Act). The information <br />included in the 2020 UWMP represents the most current and available planning projections of <br />supply capability and demand developed through a collaborative process with the member <br />agencies, including the City of Santa Ana. The Act requires reporting agencies to describe their <br />water reliability under a single dry-year, multiple dry-year, and average year conditions, with <br />projected information in five-year increments for 20 years. <br />Metropolitan updates its retail municipal and industrial (M&I) projection periodically based on <br />the release of official regional demographic and economic projections. The projections of retail <br />M&I water demands used in the 2020 UWMP are based on data from the Southern California <br />Association of Governments (SCAG) Connect SoCal: The 2020-2045 Regional Transportation <br />Plan/Sustainable Community Strategy (May 2020) and the San Diego Association of <br />Governments (SANDAG) San Diego Forward: The 2019 Federal Regional Transportation Plan
