SUMMARY:
Total System for Month:
Total California American Water (Cal-Am) system production for October
was 1,266 acre-feet (AF), four percent less than the anticipated goal of 1,323
AF, as shown on the accompanying table (Exhibit 21-A).
The 1,266 AF of production in October represents a 14 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 the 2007 Water
Year (WY), which began on October 1, 2006 has been 1,266 AF.
Ground Water Production: During October, 23 AF were produced from Cal-Am wells in the Upper Carmel Valley. This production was 26 percent less than the anticipated production of 31 AF. Lower Carmel Valley (LCV) well production was 770 AF, nine percent less than the anticipated production of 842 AF. In October, 473 AF were produced by Cal-Am from the coastal subareas of the Seaside Basin, five percent more than the 450 AF of production that was anticipated.
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 2007 has been zero AF, or zero percent of total system
production. Average release to the Carmel River from San Clemente Dam during October
was eight 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 21-A for additional information regarding
Cal-Am production in October 2006.
