2025 URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN <br /> MAY 2026/FINAL DRAFT/CAROLLO <br /> 4®1 Water Use in the Last Five Years <br /> The five-year average water use within the City's service area is approximately 32,420 AF provided by <br /> potable and non-potable sources. Demand trends have remained flat due to water-use efficiency efforts <br /> and increased precipitation in recent wet years, such as FY 2023. As mentioned in Chapter 3, despite <br /> multiple developments being anticipated in the City's service area, population projections are expected to <br /> slightly decrease.Total demands have slightly decreased due to ongoing water conservation programs <br /> and improved water use efficiency efforts. <br /> FY 2020-21 through FY 2021-22 saw the highest water uses over the last five years due to region-wide <br /> drought conditions. FY 2022-23 proved to be one of the wettest years on record in the state and the City <br /> saw a general decrease in water demand following this wet year, as precipitation offsets landscape <br /> irrigation demands.These year-to-year fluctuations in precipitation will continue to influence the City's <br /> annual demands. In general, the City saw a decrease in demands of approximately 3 percent over the <br /> 5-year reporting period. <br /> Table 4.1 presents the City's service area existing water use by source for direct uses. There are no indirect <br /> uses within the City's service area. As shown, the City's service area total water usage in FY 2024-25 was <br /> 32,935 AF.The total usage was met through a combination of potable and non-potable sources, including <br /> groundwater, imported water, and recycled water. In FY 2024-25, the total potable demand was <br /> 32,641 AFY, while only 294 AFY or less than 1 percent of the total demand was served with non-potable <br /> supplies for landscape irrigation. <br /> Table 4.1 Submittal Table 4-1 Retail:Total Uses for Potable and Non-Potable Water—Actual <br /> Submittal Table 4-1 Retail:Total Uses for Potable and Non-Potable—Actual <br /> Water Code Section 06 <br /> Use p- 2025 <br /> Drop down list <br /> May select each use <br /> multiple times Additional Description Potable or Non- <br /> These are the only use (as needed) Potable <br /> types that will be recognized (OPTIONAL) <br /> Drop down list <br /> by the WUE data online <br /> submittal tool Volume AF <br /> Add additional rows as needed <br /> Single-Family Potable 11,380 <br /> Multi-Family Potable 9,605 <br /> Commercial Potable 5,894 <br /> Industrial Potable 843 <br /> Institutional/Governmental Potable 2,281 <br /> Landscape Potable 1,029 <br /> Landscape Non-Potable 294 <br /> CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />
