January 2005 Summary:
Total System
for Month: Total California American Water (Cal-Am)
system production for January was 1,001 acre-feet (AF), seven percent less than
the anticipated goal of 1,081 AF, as shown on the accompanying table (Exhibit 23-A). The 1,001 AF of production
in January represents a three percent savings from Cal-Am's base year (i.e.,
Water Year 1988) production of 1,036 AF.
Total System,
Water Year to Date: Total system production for 2005
Water Year (WY) through January 31, 2005 has been 4,023 AF. The anticipated production of 4,557 AF for
this same period is based on an annual goal of 15,285 AF from the Cal-Am system
for customer use plus a maximum of 350 AF 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).
Ground Water Production: During January, 47 AF were produced from Cal-Am wells in the Upper Carmel Valley. This production was 18 percent less than the anticipated production of 57 AF. Lower Carmel Valley well production was 928 AF, nine percent less than the anticipated production of 1,024 AF. In January, 26 AF were produced by Cal-Am from the coastal subareas of the Seaside Basin, slightly more than the zero AF of production that was anticipated. It should be noted that in January, 131 AF were injected into the Seaside Basin as part of the District’s ground water injection testing program in the Seaside Basin. Although this quantity is included in the 928 AF of LCV well production, it was not produced to meet customer demand.
Surface Water
Production: In January, 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 January was 482 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 is monitoring
reservoir storage, inflow and water quality, and will make additional changes
as conditions warrant. Please refer to Exhibit 23-A for additional information
regarding
