PW Manager Mark Stone presented the staff report and reviewed a PowerPoint Presentation (on file in the Office of the City Clerk).
From a regulatory standpoint - delta pumping restrictions. Since then U.S. Fish and wildlife have issued opinions - recommending cutting delta allocation 20 to 50%
Department of Water Resources did announce 15% normwa flow from the Delta in 2009. Metropolitan has been relying more and more on storage. Storage in reservoirs dropped by about 50%. MWD announces water storage will be delted by 2011.
Reviewed California Reservoir Storage Levels . Oroville at 28% of capacity. Shasta - 29% below capacity.
Shwoed picture of Lake Oroville in June 2005 full - 95% capacity.
In 2008 - 28% of capacity.
REstrictions and cutbacks on the horizon. Metropolitan - cut back agricultral issues by 30%. CWA declared a Draught Watch.
Mandatory cutback by July 2009.
Currently in the Draught Watch phase. If MWD announces that July 1 - next target date for Level Two Alert. All restrictions associated with level will come into play.
What's next - Level II - Drought Alert Declaration - Allocations / Continue to Conserve.
Encouraged continue to conserve. Turn off the sprinklers. Can turn sprinklers off for at least two weeks.
Lewis Question - in reference to the allocations ~ Maybe having a water bank set up to help create jobs - industry or new company. Have we gotten any information on that? Stone - that is something I need to speak to Mr. Ball about. Other issues - very labor intensive.What do you do if someone concerves and creates water for the bank and then they move.
Mr. Chris Kades, Carlsbad, came forward to address Council. Works with City of San Diego relating to methodology of allocations. Has City moving forward with allocations. Allocation methodoly is difficulty when implementing the mehtodology. Hope city begins workshops to work with stakeholders and tax payers. Been working with City of San Diego for five months. Another difficulty is the outreach method for allocations.
The outreach need to start earlier rather than later. Hope city looks at going tiered rates. Best way to impact users is tiered rate structure.
