Section 1: Introduction The Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC) is dedicated to ensuring water reliability for the communities we serve. Hundreds of thousands of Orange County residents have taken advantage of our water conservation rebates to install water saving toilets, clothes washers, and other water saving devices. We continue to partner with our client agencies to develop new local supplies such as recycled water, brackish water desalting, ocean water desalination, and the Groundwater Replenishment System. However, a combination of water supply challenges have brought about the possibility that MWDOC may not have access to the imported supplies necessary to meet the demands of its client agencies in the coming years. The following factors have dramatically impacted water supply conditions not only in Orange County, but all of Southern California: • In 2007 many areas of California experienced the driest year on record. California received below average rainfall again in 2008. On June 4, 2008, Governor Schwarzenegger proclaimed a statewide drought. • The Colorado River experienced the driest 9 years in over a century. Reservoirs along the river are less than half full. Supplies from this source have been reduced since 2003 and will continue to be limited. • A federal court ruling in late 2007 to protect a threaten fish species, the Delta Smelt, has resulted in the largest court-ordered water transfer restrictions in State history. Pumping from the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta (Delta) to the State Water Project has been reduced by up to 30 percent and will remain restricted until permanent solutions can be approved and constructed. Threats to additional Delta species, including Longfin Smelt, could result in further pumping restrictions. To meet the imported water demands of its member agencies, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MET) is quickly withdrawing supplies from surface and groundwater storage. Over the past two years, MET has drawn down half of its available reserve. The recent dry conditions and the uncertainty about future supplies from the State Water Project have raised the possibility that MET will not have access to the supplies necessary to meet the imported water demands of its member agencies. As a result, MET has developed a Water Supply Allocation Plan that allocates wholesale imported water supplies among its 26 member agencies throughout Southern California. To prepare for the possibility of an allocation of imported water supplies from MET; MWDOC has worked in collaboration with its 28 client agencies to develop this Water Supply Allocation Plan to allocate imported water supplies at the retail level. This document lays out the essential components of how MWDOC plans to determine and implement each agency’s allocation during a time of shortage. MWDOC Water Supply Allocation Plan Page 3
Section 2: Metropolitan Water District’s Water Supply Allocation Plan In February 2008, MET approved a Water Supply Allocation Plan (WSAP) designed to distribute imported water to all of its member agencies during a shortage. The WSAP follows the principles and considerations identified in MET’s Water Surplus and Drought Management Plan, which calls upon the allocation of water in a fair and equitable manner to all of Metropolitan’s member agencies. To the extent possible, this means developing a plan that minimizes regional hardship during times of shortage. The Metropolitan WSAP seeks to balance the impacts of a shortage at the retail level while maintaining equity on the wholesale level. To achieve this, it takes into account: • The impact on retail customers and the economy • Allowance for population and growth • Change and/or loss of local supply • Reclamation/Recycling • Conservation • Investments in local resources • Participation in MET’s interruptible programs • Investments in MET’s facilities The WSAP states that MET staff will go before the Board with a recommendation in April, from which the Board of Directors will make a determination on the level of the Regional Shortage. If the Board determines allocations are necessary they will go into effect in July and remain for a twelve-month period. Note: This schedule is at the discretion of the Metropolitan Board, and is subject to change. MWDOC Water Supply Allocation Plan Page 4
