California SB1085 requires cities and counties to assess water supply sufficiency for housing developments.

California SB1085 mandates that cities and counties conduct water supply assessments for housing developments. These assessments must include details on existing water supply entitlements, water rights, and service contracts, as well as an analysis of groundwater pumping and adjudications. The assessments also need to evaluate whether the projected water supplies will meet the demands of the proposed project, including existing and future uses. If water supplies are insufficient, the assessments must outline plans for acquiring additional water supplies, including costs and financing methods.
