In December 2008, the California Urban Water Conservation Council (Council) updated the Best Management Practices (BMPs) required under the Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Urban Water Conservation in California (MOU)1, incorporating a broader approach to achieving water savings, improving water use efficiency, and measuring progress.
As a Foundational Best Management Practice (BMP), Utility Operations is an essential water conservation activity for all water utilities and is adopted for implementation by all signatories to the Memorandum of Understanding as an ongoing practice.
