SUMMARY:
Total System for Month:
Total California American Water (Cal-Am) system production for July was
1,486 acre-feet (AF), six percent less than the anticipated goal of 1,580 AF,
as shown on the accompanying table (Exhibit
24-A). The 1,486 AF of production in July represents a 23 percent
savings from Cal-Am's base year (i.e., Water Year 1988) production of 1,925 AF.
Total System, Water Year to
Date: Total system production for the 2004 Water
Year (WY) through July 31, 2004 has been 12,258 AF. The anticipated production of 12,493 AF for this same period is
based on an annual goal of 15,285 AF from the Cal-Am system, and includes 398
AF of production that was anticipated for injection into the Seaside
Basin. Monthly production goals are
calculated by multiplying total annual production (15,285 AF) times the average
fraction of annual production for each month (based on production data from
1988 to 1997). It should be noted that
the total system production of 12,258 AF includes 160 AF that were produced
from the Lower Carmel Valley, and injected into the Seaside Basin. The 160 AF of injection water were not
produced for customer use and do not count against the SWRCB Order 95-10
diversion limit. Without the 160 AF,
Cal-Am’s year-to-date system production is 12,098 AF, which is 46 AF or 0.4
percent less than the year-to-date at month-end target that has been set in District
Rule 162 based on Order 95-10.
Ground Water Production:
During July, 25 AF were produced from Cal-Am wells in the Upper Carmel
Valley. This production was 19 percent
less than the anticipated production of 31 AF.
Lower Carmel Valley well production was 913 AF, ten percent less than
the anticipated production of 1,009 AF.
In July, 548 AF were produced by Cal-Am from the coastal subareas of the
Seaside Basin, one percent more than the anticipated production of 540 AF.
Surface Water Production: In
July, no water was diverted through the Carmel Valley Filter Plant (CVFP) from
San Clemente Reservoir, equivalent to the zero AF of production that was
anticipated. The total diversion
through the CVFP for WY 2004 has been zero AF, or zero percent of total system
production. Average release to the Carmel River from San Clemente Dam during
July was seven cubic feet per second, as measured at the Sleepy Hollow Weir.
The anticipated river flow,
storage values and production goals were developed jointly by the District,
Cal-Am, and the California Department of Fish and Game in consultation with
NOAA Fisheries. Cal-Am and District
staff are monitoring reservoir storage, inflow and water quality, and will make
additional changes as conditions warrant.
Please refer to Exhibit 24-A
for additional information regarding Cal-Am production in July 2004.
