Document Description
Palmdale Water District (PWD) has developed the Strategic Water Resources Plan Update to provide a sound water supply strategy to meet customer demands through 2050. Water use by existing and future PWD customers is expected to grow through 2050. At the same time, substantial periods of drought have significantly impacted water resources throughout the State of California, resulting in reduced imported water allocations and increased water use efficiency. The Plan Update presents a Preferred Strategy that includes proposed actions for maximizing local supplies and facilities and increasing water storage in the Antelope Valley Groundwater Basin to meet demands during times of imported water shortage. PWD will prepare a Program EIR that analyzes the potential effects on the environment associated with implementation of the Plan Update’s Preferred Strategy.
