SUMMARY:
Total System
for Month: Total California American Water (Cal-Am)
system production for September was 1,388 acre-feet (AF), four percent less
than the anticipated goal of 1,450 AF, as shown on the accompanying table (Exhibit 20-A). The 1,388 AF of production
in September represents a 15 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 2005
Water Year (WY) which ended on September 30, 2005 was 14,029 AF. The anticipated production of 15,496 AF for
this same period is based on an annual goal of 15,146 AF from the Cal-Am system
for customer use plus a maximum of 350 AF for injection into the Seaside Basin.
Ground Water
Production: During September, 25 AF were produced from
Cal-Am wells in the Upper Carmel Valley.
This production was 17 percent less than the anticipated production of
30 AF. Lower Carmel Valley (LCV) well
production was 926 AF, six percent more than the anticipated production of 870
AF. In September, 437 AF were produced
by Cal-Am from the coastal subareas of the Seaside Basin, 21 percent less than
the anticipated production of 550 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
2005 was zero AF, or zero percent of total system production. Average release
to the Carmel River from San Clemente Dam during September was 11 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 20-A for additional information
regarding Cal-Am production in September 2005.
