SUMMARY:
Total System for Month:
Total California American Water (CAW) system production for January was
935 acre-feet (AF), 13 percent less than the anticipated goal of 1,076 AF, as
shown on the accompanying table (Exhibit 26-A).
The 935 AF of production in January represents a ten percent savings from
Cal-Am's base year (i.e., Water Year 1988) production of 1,036 AF.
Total System, Water Year to
Date: Total system production for the 2007 Water
Year (WY), through January 31, 2007 has been 4,152 AF.
Ground Water Production: During January, 26 AF were produced from CAW wells in the Upper Carmel Valley. This production was 55 percent less than the anticipated production of 58 AF. Lower Carmel Valley (LCV) well production was 844 AF, 17 percent less than the anticipated production of 1,018 AF. In January, 65 AF were produced by CAW from the coastal subareas of the Seaside Basin, which exceeds the zero AF of production that was anticipated.
Surface Water Production: In
January, 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
January was 18 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, CAW, and the California Department of Fish
and Game in consultation with NOAA Fisheries.
CAW and District staff are monitoring reservoir storage, inflow and
water quality, and will make additional changes as conditions warrant. Please refer to Exhibit 26-A for additional information regarding
CAW production in January 2007.
