There are two types of leaks that can be addressed by the City, water meter leaks and mainline leaks. Typically, a mainline leak is more severe and requires immediate action.

Urban Water Management Plans (UWMP) are prepared every five years in order to support long-term resource planning and ensure that adequate water supplies are available to meet water demands. The report details a 20 year forecast of how the City will meet existing (and future) water demands.

The overall principle of Upland's Water Shortage Contingency Plan is to reliably meet water demands during water shortages caused by supply interruptions, reductions, or allocations, as well as respond to emergency conditions.
