NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Governor’s 20X2020 Agency Team on Water
Conservation (20X2020 Agency Team) is holding a workshop to receive public comment on the
final draft statewide implementation plan for urban water conservation.
BACKGROUND
In February 2008 Governor Schwarzenegger called for a 20 percent reduction in per-capita
water use by 2020 and asked state agencies to develop a more aggressive plan of conservation
to achieve the goal. A team of state and federal agencies (20X2020 Agency Team) was formed
consisting of the Department of Water Resources, the State Water Resources Control Board,
the California Energy Commission, the Public Utilities Commission, the Department of Public
Health, the Air Resources Board, the CALFED Program, and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation
with technical assistance from the California Urban Water Conservation Council. The 20x2020
Agency Team was formed to develop a statewide implementation plan for achieving this goal.
The 20x2020 Agency Team has prepared a draft of its final report entitled “20x2020 Water
Conservation Plan.” The draft report includes urban water use data for a selected baseline
year, water conservation targets for year 2020, a strategy with multiple actions for achieving
those targets, and an implementation plan.
During development of the plan the Agency Team developed research papers (Technical
Memoranda). Two public workshops and a conference call were held to receive input based on
the Technical Memoranda. Written comments were also received. Refer to Document
Availability below to see the Technical Memoranda and public comments received.
MEETING PURPOSE AND DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this workshop is to solicit public input on the draft of the final report, entitled
“20x2020 Water Conservation Plan.” This will be the final workshop to solicit comments on the
conservation plan.
