SUMMARY:
Total System
for Month: Total California American Water (CAW) system
production for March was 1,076 acre-feet (AF), eight percent more than the
anticipated goal of 999 AF, as shown on the accompanying table (Exhibit 33-A).
Total System,
Water Year to Date: Total system production for the
2008 Water Year (WY), through March 31, 2008 has been 5,958 AF.
Ground Water Production: During March, 65 AF were produced from CAW wells in the Upper Carmel Valley. This production was 110 percent more than the anticipated production of 31 AF. Lower Carmel Valley well production was 1,011 AF, four percent more than the anticipated production of 968 AF. In March, no ground water was produced by CAW from the coastal subareas of the Seaside Basin, consistent with the zero AF of production that was anticipated. It should be noted that in March, 34 AF were injected into the Seaside Basin as part of the District’s Phase 1 Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Program in the Seaside Basin. Although this quantity is included in the 1,011 AF of LCV well production, it was not produced to meet customer demand.
Surface Water
Production: In March, 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 2008 has been zero AF, or
zero percent of total system production. Average release to the Carmel River
from San Clemente Dam during March was 113 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 the National Marine Fisheries Service. CAW and District staff are monitoring
reservoir storage, inflow and water quality, and will make additional changes
as conditions warrant. Please refer to Exhibit 33-A for additional information
regarding CAW production in March 2008.
