Water Supply FAQ's

On July 8, Council adopted a Urban Water Management Plan and a Water Shortage Contingency Plan, each covering the next five years of water use as required by law. The report and presentation show that Paso Robles has more than adequate water supplies to reach full buildout of 44,000 by 2050, including residential and commercial activities. The Water Shortage Contingency Plan is also required by law and shows what steps the City would take in the event of an extended drought. Read the City’s Frequently Asked Questions about the UWMP.
