Total System
for Month: Total California American Water (CAW) system
production for November was 874 acre-feet (AF), eight percent less than anticipated
production of 952 AF, as shown on the accompanying table (Exhibit 20-A).
Total System,
Water Year to Date: Total system production for Water
Year (WY) 2012 through November 30, 2011 has been 1,900 AF.
Groundwater Production: During November, no water was produced from CAW wells in the Upper Carmel Valley, consistent with the zero AF of production that was anticipated. Lower Carmel Valley (LCV) well production was 469 AF, 28 percent more than the anticipated production of 367 AF. In November, 355 AF were produced by CAW from the coastal subareas of the Seaside Basin, 35 percent less than the 550 AF that was anticipated. Well production from the Laguna Seca Subarea of the Seaside Basin which includes Hidden Hills, Bishop and Ryan Ranch water systems was 25 AF, 150 percent more than the 10 AF 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
2012 has been zero AF. Average release
to the Carmel River from San Clemente Dam during November was 19 cubic feet per
second, as measured at the Sleepy Hollow Weir.
The anticipated river flow, storage and production values 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
20-A for additional information
regarding CAW production in November 2011.
