SUMMARY:
Total System
for Month: Total California American Water (Cal-Am)
system production for July was 1,514 acre-feet (AF), four percent less than the
anticipated goal of 1,580 AF, as shown on the accompanying table (Exhibit 18-A). The 1,514 AF of production
in July represents a 21 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 2005
Water Year (WY) through July 31, 2005 has been 11,167 AF. The anticipated production of 12,446 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 July, 71 AF were produced from Cal-Am
wells in the Upper Carmel Valley. This
production was 129 percent more than the anticipated production of 31 AF. Lower Carmel Valley (LCV) well production was
927 AF, seven percent less than the anticipated production of 999 AF. In July, 516 AF were produced by Cal-Am from
the coastal subareas of the Seaside Basin, six percent less than the
anticipated production of 550 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 2005 has been zero AF, or
zero percent of total system production. Average release to the Carmel River
from San Clemente Dam during July was 22 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.
