Water Supply Status: As
shown, rainfall during December 2012
totaled 7.70 inches and brings
the cumulative rainfall total for WY 2013 to 11.11 inches, which is 164%
of the long-term average through December. Estimated unimpaired runoff during December 2012 totaled 12,908 acre-feet
(AF) and brings the cumulative runoff total for WY 2013 to 13,719 AF, which is 185%
of the long-term average through December. Usable storage, which includes surface and
groundwater, was 29,920 AF,
or 102% of the long-term average through
December. This storage equates to 79% of system capacity. In
addition, 18 adult steelhead were counted

In addition, under the Seaside Basin Decision, Cal-Am is allowed to
produce 2,669 AF of water from the Coastal Subareas and 147 AF from the Laguna
