Water Supply Reliability — Planning for an Uncertain Future
active• millbrae
Millbrae is updating its Urban Water Management Plan — a state-required planning document that assesses long-term water supply reliability — with a public hearing scheduled for June 9, 2026. The update comes at a moment of genuine uncertainty: the City Council will consider proposed revisions to both the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan and the Water Shortage Contingency Plan, reflecting updated projections for supply reliability, demand management, and emergency response. Millbrae's water supply depends on both the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission regional system and local groundwater resources — both of which face climate-driven variability. As the city plans for thousands of new residents through its RHNA mandate and station area development, ensuring that water infrastructure keeps pace with growth is a fundamental long-term challenge that rarely gets the civic attention it deserves.
