Suburban Water Systems Stage 2 Conservation Restrictions
On May 24, 2022, the State Water Resources Control Board (State Board) adopted Resolution No. 2022-0018, Emergency Regulations to Reduce Water Demand and Improve Water Conservation which requires urban water suppliers to implement Level 2 demand reduction actions by June 10, 2022; and prohibit the irrigation of non-functional turf in commercial, industrial and institutional as well as Home-Owner Association sectors. However, the use of water is not prohibited to the extent necessary to ensure the health of trees and other perennial non-turf plantings or to the extent necessary to address an immediate health and safety need. Furthermore, an urban water supplier may approve a request for continued irrigation of non-functional turf where the user certifies that the turf is a low water use plant with a plant factor of 0.3 or less, and demonstrates the actual use is less than 40% of reference evapotranspiration. The State Water Board defines non-functional turf as grass that is solely ornamental and is not regularly used for recreational purposes or for civic or community events. Non-functional turf does not include sports fields and turf that is regularly used for human recreational purposes or for civic or community events. The state-wide emergency regulations adopted may remain in effect for up to one year, unless rescinded earlier, or extended by the State Water Board.
In response to the Governor’s EO and the State Board’s adopted Emergency Regulations to implement Level 2 reductions of non-essential water use, Suburban Water Systems will implement Stage 2 of its Schedule No. 14.1 Water Shortage Contingency Plan, in its SJH and WLM service areas requesting 20% reduction in customer usage.
If approved by the CPUC, Stage 2 of the proposed Plan will become effective on July 20, 2022. Please see the Stage 2 Mandates below.

Urban Water Management Plan 2020
Suburban Water Systems’ Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) has been prepared consistent with the requirements under Water Code Sections 10610 through 10656 of the Urban Water Management Planning Act (Act) and its amendments. The Act requires that “every urban water supplier providing water for municipal purposes to more than 3,000 customers or supplying more than 3,000 acre-feet of water annually, to prepare and adopt, in accordance with prescribed requirements, an urban water management plan.” These plans support the Suburban Water Systems’ long-term resource planning to ensure adequate water supplies are available to meet existing and future water needs.
