What is a Physical Availability Determination?

A Physical Availability Determination (PAD) evaluates an area solely for the physical availability of water. Subsequent applications for Certificates of Assured Water Supply can rely on the hydrologic work already performed for the PAD. If your subdivision falls within the regional area that the PAD covers, you may save the time and effort of doing an individual hydrologic analysis for your subdivision. Frequently, water providers who do not have Designations of Assured Water Supply have PADs for their water service areas. Check with the water provider who will be serving your subdivision to see if they have a PAD on file with the Department of Water Resources. If so, reference the name and the file number for the PAD on your application for a Certificate of Assured Water Supply.
