	Notes:
	1.  The Budget reflects above normal inflow conditions at the San Clemente Dam site.
	2.  The period for reporting corresponds to the Water Year, which begins on October 1 and ends on September 30 of the following year.
	3.  Anticipated production for the October - December 2005 period is based on Cal-Am production of 3,476 acre-feet from the Monterey Peninsula Water Resources System, including 1,268 AF from the coastal subareas of the Seaside Groundwater Basin, and 2,208 AF from the Carmel River Basin.  Total monthly production for the system was calculated by multiplying total annual production times  the average fraction of annual production for October, November and December (based on production data from 1988 to 1997).
