SUMMARY:
Total System for Month:
Total California American Water (Cal-Am) system production for November
was 1,020 acre-feet (AF), five percent less than the anticipated goal of 1,071
AF, as shown on the accompanying table (Exhibit 23-A). The 1,020 AF of production in November
represents a four percent savings 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 the 2007 Water
Year (WY), through November 30, 2006 has been 2,286 AF.
Ground Water Production: During November, 24 AF were produced from Cal-Am wells in the Upper Carmel Valley. This production was 20 percent less than the anticipated production of 30 AF. Lower Carmel Valley (LCV) well production was 646 AF, one percent more than the anticipated production of 641 AF. In November, 350 AF were produced by Cal-Am from the coastal subareas of the Seaside Basin, 13 percent less than the 400 AF of production that was anticipated.
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 2007 has been zero AF, or zero percent of total system
production. Average release to the Carmel River from San Clemente Dam during November
was nine 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 2006.
