Napa City Council passes water management plan update and water shortage plan
Despite the 2021 drought, which resulted in mid-year restrictions on outdoor irrigation and trucked water, the city of Napa is projecting it will likely meet water demands through 2045 with only minor restrictions in the case of dry years or multiple dry years. That is, of course, unless the city faces historically unprecedented dry conditions, in which case greater restrictions could be put in place to limit the demand on the city’s water resources. That’s according to the city’s 2020 Urban Water Management Plan, a long-term evaluation of the city’s water supply and demand through 2045, approved by the Napa City Council late last month.
