Existing law requires each supplier of water to: (1) adopt a plan of water conservation and update the plan every 5 years; (2) include with the plan of water conservation a water loss audit or certain water loss calculations; and (3) adopt a plan to provide certain incentives relating to water conservation. Existing law defines a “supplier of water” to include any public or private entity that supplies water for municipal, industrial or domestic purposes. (NRS 540.121-540.151) This bill revises the definition of “supplier of water” to exclude a public or private entity that has less than 15 service connections. As a result of the change to the definition of “supplier of water,” this bill removes the requirement for such an entity to adopt and update a plan of water conservation, conduct a water loss audit or calculate water losses or adopt a plan to provide certain incentives relating to water conservation.
