Top 3 Key Takeaways
Water Supply Master Plan 2050 Adopted: The board approved a comprehensive 30-year water supply strategy focusing on a "lower cost" approach that includes Pure Water Silicon Valley, Valley Floor System Improvements, Sites Reservoir participation, and Delta Conveyance Project participation. This plan will guide future water infrastructure investments and includes an adaptive management framework with annual reporting to adjust strategies as conditions change.
Agricultural Water Rate Policy Maintained: Staff confirmed the existing pricing policy where agricultural water charges cannot exceed 10% of municipal and industrial water charges will continue in the fiscal year 2026-27 rate setting process. The board emphasized the importance of keeping agricultural rates low to support local farming operations, particularly smaller farms operated by BIPOC and underserved communities.
