SUMMARY:
Total System
for Month: Total California American Water (CAW) system
production for May was 1,322 acre-feet (AF), eight percent less than the
anticipated goal of 1,438 AF, as shown on the accompanying table (Exhibit 27-A).
Total System,
Water Year to Date: Total system production for the
2008 Water Year (WY), through May 31, 2008 has been 8,429 AF.
Ground Water
Production: During May, 94 AF were produced from CAW
wells in the Upper Carmel Valley. This
production was 57 percent more than the anticipated production of 60 AF. Lower Carmel Valley well production was 1,024
AF, 11 percent less than the anticipated production of 1,153 AF. In May, 204 AF were produced by CAW from the
coastal subareas of the Seaside Basin, nine percent less than the 225 AF of
production that was anticipated.
Surface Water
Production: In May, 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 May was 24 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 27-A for additional information regarding
CAW production in May 2008.
