SUMMARY:
Total System
for Month: Total California American Water (Cal-Am)
system production for September was 1,441 acre-feet (AF), one percent less than
the anticipated goal of 1,450 AF, as shown on the accompanying table (Exhibit 24-A). The 1,441 AF of production
in September represents a 12 percent savings from Cal-Am's base year (i.e.,
Water Year 1988) production of 1,629 AF.
Total System,
Water Year to Date: Total system production for 2004
Water Year (WY) was 15,172 AF. The
anticipated production of 15,543 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 15,172 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 15,012 AF, which is 273 AF or 1.8
percent less than the annual target that has been set in District Rule 162
based on Order 95-10.
Ground Water
Production: During September, 27 AF were produced from
Cal-Am wells in the Upper Carmel Valley.
This production was ten percent less than the anticipated production of
30 AF. Lower Carmel Valley well
production was 943 AF, seven percent more than the anticipated production of
880 AF. In September, 471 AF were
produced by Cal-Am from the coastal subareas of the Seaside Basin, 13 percent
less than the anticipated production of 540 AF.
Surface Water
Production: In September, 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 was zero AF, or zero percent of total system production. Average release
to the Carmel River from San Clemente Dam during September 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 24-A for additional information
