As noted in a recent article, by becoming a member of the CUWCC, the Cambria Community Services District signed on to voluntarily implement the Best Management Practices (BMPs)  of the Council.  Last January,  the milestones and goals of the best practices  developed by  Urban Water Conservation Council  took on new meaning. In order to be eligible for state loans and grants , the CCSD must be implementing water Demand Management Measures (DMMs).

The DMMs correspond to the 14 Best Management Practices (BMPs) listed and described in the California Urban Water Conservation Council (CUWCC) Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).  Department of Water Resources has consulted with the CUWCC and appropriate funding agencies and will equate the DMMs with the BMPs described in the CUWCC MOU for loan and grant funding eligibility purposes.

Water management grants and loans include programs and projects for surface water or groundwater storage, recycling, desalination, water conservation, water supply reliability and water supply augmentation.

Yet another reason to make sure we’re on top of our water management: no plans, no results, no state money (when there is any….)
