SUMMARY:
Total System
for Month: Total California American Water (Cal-Am)
system production for December was 937 acre-feet (AF), five percent less than
the anticipated goal of 984 AF, as shown on the accompanying table (Exhibit 22-A). The 937 AF of production in
December represents a five percent savings from Cal-Am's base year (i.e., Water
Year 1988) production of 983 AF.
Total System,
Water Year to Date: Total system production for 2005
Water Year (WY) has been 3,022 AF. The
anticipated production of 3,476 AF for this same period is based on an annual
goal of 15,285 AF from the Cal-Am system.
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).
Ground Water
Production: During December, 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 611 AF, one percent more than the anticipated production of 603
AF. In December, 301 AF were produced by
Cal-Am from the coastal subareas of the Seaside Basin, 14 percent less than the
anticipated production of 350 AF.
Surface Water
Production: In December, 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
2005 has been zero AF, or zero percent of total system production. Average
release to the Carmel River from San Clemente Dam during December was 120 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 22-A for additional information
