Urban retail water suppliers subject to the Making Conservation a California Way of Life regulation must use the Urban Water Use Objective Reporting Form to report data to the State Water Board by January 1, 2026.  State Water Board staff have provided a guidance document and supplemental guidance document on the reporting form, available now at the Making Conservation a California Way of Life webpage, for the staff, leadership, or contractors of urban retail water suppliers as they complete the reporting form.   

In addition, State Water Board staff will host two webinars on the form. The intended audience is people who may have roles in filling out and submitting the reporting form who aren’t yet familiar with the report. The first webinar will provide a walk-through of the reporting form and allow time for Q&A. The second webinar will be entirely dedicated to Q&A.   

The webinars will be via Zoom. Registration is required.   

A recording of the presentation and PowerPoint will be posted at a later date on the Board’s website at: https://waterboards.ca.gov/conservation/regs/water_efficiency_legislation.html.
