SUMMARY:
Total System for Month:
Total California American Water (Cal-Am) system production for November
was 1,086 acre-feet (AF), two percent less than the anticipated goal of 1,113
AF, as shown on the accompanying table (Exhibit 23-A). The 1,086 AF of production in November
represents a two percent increase from Cal-Am's base year (i.e., Water Year
1988) production of 1,067 AF.
Total System, Water Year to
Date: Total system production for 2006 Water Year
(WY) through November 30, 2005 has been 2,400 AF.
Ground Water Production:
During November, 26 AF were produced from Cal-Am wells in the Upper
Carmel Valley. This production was 13
percent less than the anticipated production of 30 AF. Lower Carmel Valley (LCV) well production
was 620 AF, two percent less than the anticipated production of 633 AF. In November, 440 AF were produced by Cal-Am
from the coastal subareas of the Seaside Basin, two percent less than the anticipated
production of 450 AF.
Surface Water Production: In November,
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 November
was 9.2 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 23-A for additional information regarding
Cal-Am production in November 2005.
Total System for Month:
Total California American Water (Cal-Am) system production for December
was 878 acre-feet (AF), 11 percent less than the anticipated goal of 984 AF, as
shown on the accompanying table (Exhibit 23-B).
The 878 AF of production in December represents an 11 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 2006 Water Year
(WY) through December 31, 2005 has been 3,278 AF.
Ground Water Production:
During December, 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 588 AF, two percent less than the anticipated production of 603 AF. In December, 263 AF were produced by Cal-Am
from the coastal subareas of the Seaside Basin, 25 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 2006 has been zero AF, or zero percent of total system
production. Average release to the Carmel River from San Clemente Dam during December
was 67 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 23-B for additional information regarding
Cal-Am production in December 2005.
