SUMMARY:
Total System for Month:
Total California American Water (Cal-Am) system production for August
was 1,522 acre-feet (AF), five percent less than the anticipated goal of 1,596
AF, as shown on the accompanying table (Exhibit 20-A). The 1,522 AF of production in
August represents an 18 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 2006 Water Year
(WY) through August 31, 2006 has been 12,895 AF.
Ground Water Production: During August, 26 AF were produced from Cal-Am wells in the Upper Carmel Valley. This production was 16 percent less than the anticipated production of 31 AF. Lower Carmel Valley (LCV) well production was 962 AF, eight percent less than the anticipated production of 1,047 AF. In August, 534 AF were produced by Cal-Am from the coastal subareas of the Seaside Basin, three percent more than the 518 AF of production that was anticipated.
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 2006 has been zero AF, or zero percent of total system
production. Average release to the Carmel River from San Clemente Dam during
August was 14 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 August 2006.
