SUMMARY: 

 

June 2008

 

Total System for Month:  Total California American Water (CAW) system production for June was 1,391 acre-feet (AF), seven percent less than the anticipated goal of 1,491 AF, as shown on the accompanying table (Exhibit 25-A).

 

Total System, Water Year to Date:  Total system production for the 2008 Water Year (WY), through June 30, 2008 has been 9,820 AF. 

 

Ground Water Production:  During June, 23 AF were produced from CAW wells in the Upper Carmel Valley.  This production was 62 percent less than the anticipated production of 60 AF.  Lower Carmel Valley well production was 864 AF, seven percent less than the anticipated production of 931 AF.  In June, 504 AF were produced by CAW from the Coastal Subareas of the Seaside Basin, one percent more than the 500 AF of production that was anticipated.

 

Surface Water Production:  In June, 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 June was 15 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 25-A for additional information regarding CAW production in June 2008.
