SUMMARY:
Total System
for Month: Total California American Water (Cal-Am)
system production for August was 1,473 acre-feet (AF), eight percent less than
the anticipated goal of 1,600 AF, as shown on the accompanying table (Exhibit 19-A). The 1,473 AF of production
in August represents a 21 percent savings from Cal-Am's base year (i.e., Water
Year 1988) production of 1,854 AF.
Total System,
Water Year to Date: Total system production for the
2004 Water Year (WY) through August 31, 2004 has been 13,731 AF. The anticipated production of 14,093 AF for
this same period is based on an annual goal of 15,285 AF from the Cal-Am
system, and includes 398 AF of production that was anticipated for injection
into the Seaside Basin. Monthly
production goals are calculated by multiplying total annual production (15,285
AF) times the average fraction of annual production for each month (based on
production data from 1988 to 1997). It
should be noted that the total system production of 13,731 AF includes 160 AF
that were produced from the Lower Carmel Valley, and injected into the Seaside
Basin. The 160 AF of injection water
were not produced for customer use and do not count against the SWRCB Order
95-10 diversion limit. Without the 160
AF, Cal-Am’s year-to-date system production is 13,571 AF, which is 222 AF or
1.6 percent less than the year-to-date at month-end target that has been set in
District Rule 162 based on Order 95-10.
Ground Water
Production: During August, 25 AF were produced from
Cal-Am wells in the Upper Carmel Valley.
This production was 19 percent less than the anticipated production of
31 AF. Lower Carmel Valley well
production was 947 AF, eight percent less than the anticipated production of
1,029 AF. In August, 501 AF were
produced by Cal-Am from the coastal subareas of the Seaside Basin, seven
percent less than the anticipated production of 540 AF.
Surface Water
Production: In August, 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 2004 has been zero AF, or
zero percent of total system production. Average release to the Carmel River
from San Clemente Dam during August was six 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, Cal-Am, and the California Department of Fish and Game in
consultation with NOAA Fisheries. Cal-Am
and District staff are monitoring reservoir storage, inflow and water quality,
and will make additional changes as conditions warrant. Please refer to Exhibit 19-A for additional information
