IRP BackgroundIRP Background 1996 IRP was guided by Metropolitan’s

Mission Statement of:

1. Ensuring Reliability

2. Ensuring Affordability

3. Ensuring Water Quality

4. Maintaining Diversity

5. Ensuring Flexibility

6. Acknowledging Environmental and Institutional Constraints.

1996 IRP created a water resource development strategy known as the “Preferred Resource Mix”

Targets for each of the following resources were established through the year 2020:1. Conservation

2. Local Resources - Water Recycling, Groundwater Recovery and Desalination

3. Colorado River Supplies and Transfers

4. State Water Project Improvement

5. In-Region Surface Reservoir Storage

6. In-Region Groundwater Storage

2004 IRP update fulfilled three objectives:1. Review the goals and achievements of the 1996 IRP

2. Identify the changed conditions for water resource development

3. Update resource development targets through 2025
