SUMMARY:
Total System for Month:
Total California American Water (Cal-Am) system production for October
was 1,314 acre-feet (AF), five percent less than the anticipated goal of 1,379 AF,
as shown on the accompanying table (Exhibit
25-A). The 1,314 AF of production in October represents an 11
percent savings from Cal-Am's base year (i.e., Water Year 1988) production of
1,479 AF.
Total System, Water Year to
Date: Total system production for 2006 Water Year
(WY) which began on October 1, 2005 has been 1,314 AF.
Ground Water Production:
During October, 27 AF were produced from Cal-Am wells in the Upper
Carmel Valley. This production was 13
percent less than the anticipated production of 31 AF. Lower Carmel Valley (LCV) well production
was 841 AF, four percent less than the anticipated production of 880 AF. In October, 446 AF were produced by Cal-Am
from the coastal subareas of the Seaside Basin, five percent less than the
anticipated production of 468 AF.
Surface Water Production: In
October, 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 2006 has been zero AF, or zero percent of total system
production. Average release to the Carmel River from San Clemente Dam during
October was 9.7 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 25-A for additional information
regarding Cal-Am production in October 2005.
