California SB1085 amends the Water Code to require cities and counties to assess water supply needs for housing developments.

California SB1085 amends the Water Code to mandate that cities and counties assess water supply needs for housing developments. When an applicant submits a preliminary application for a housing development project, the city or county must evaluate whether the public water system can meet the project's water demand. If the water supply is insufficient, the public water system must outline plans to acquire additional water supplies. The bill also specifies the information that must be included in the water supply assessment, such as groundwater basin details and projected water demand.
