IRP Background 1996 IRP was guided by Metropolitan’s Mission Statement of: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Ensuring Reliability Ensuring Affordability Ensuring Water Quality Maintaining Diversity Ensuring Flexibility Acknowledging Environmental and Institutional Constraints.
1996 IRP created a water resource development strategy known as the “Preferred Resource Mix” Targets for each of the following resources were established through the year 2020: 1. Conservation 2. Local Resources - Water Recycling, Groundwater Recovery and Desalination 3. Colorado River Supplies and Transfers 4. State Water Project Improvement 5. In-Region Surface Reservoir Storage 6. In-Region Groundwater Storage
2004 IRP update fulfilled three objectives: 1. Review the goals and achievements of the 1996 IRP 2. Identify the changed conditions for water resource development 3. Update resource development targets through 2025 Addition of 10 percent planning buffer
IRP Process IRP Workgroup - Representatives from Metropolitan, member agency, sub-agency and groundwater basin managers. Public Input - Member agency workshops - Regional assemblies - Public forums
