Chaptered by Secretary of State. Chapter 1004, Statutes of 2026.
Summary
When a housing development submits a preliminary application that meets state criteria, or when a development application is deemed complete, the local agency must identify all public water systems that could serve the site and ask them to confirm whether the project's water demand is in the latest urban water management plan. Those water systems must then provide a detailed water‑supply assessment within 45 days (instead of the usual 90) and the local agency can go to court to compel compliance. The law clarifies that it does not create new water‑service rights or trigger additional environmental review.
