West Sacramento Adopts 2025 Urban Water Management and Water Shortage Contingency Plans
The City Council adopted Resolution 26-58, approving the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP). Brad Hubbard from Zanhara Water Consultants presented the plans, highlighting that the UWMP is a state-required 25-year planning document (out to 2050) to ensure adequate water supplies and promote conservation. The WSCP provides a framework for responding to drought conditions. The council opened a public hearing, received no public comment, and approved the plans, noting that they are living documents that can be modified. The Environmental Utilities Council will receive an informational presentation on the plans at their next meeting.
City Council Approves Liens on Properties with Unpaid Weed Abatement Charges

Fire Marshal Brian Johnson presented the resolution, noting that approval would ensure property owners, rather than taxpayers, bear the costs of weed abatement services. A short list of properties with unpaid debts, including third-party costs and a 20% administrative fee, was provided. The council opened a public hearing, heard no public comment, and subsequently approved the resolution, directing the county to collect these charges.
