Figure 3-2: Current and Projected <strong>Water</strong> Supplies for MWDOC Service Area (AFY)<br />
The following section provides a detailed discussion <strong>of</strong> the main sources <strong>of</strong> water within<br />
MWDOC’s service area as well as projections <strong>of</strong> the region’s future water supply<br />
portfolio for the next 25 years. This section also compares projected supply and demand<br />
under various hydrological conditions to determine MWDOC’s supply reliability for the<br />
25 year planning horizon. This section satisfies the requirements <strong>of</strong> § 10631 (b) and (c),<br />
and 10635 <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Water</strong> Code.<br />
3.2. Metropolitan <strong>Water</strong> <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> Southern California<br />
Metropolitan is the largest water wholesaler for domestic and municipal uses in<br />
California. Approximately 19.1 million Southern Californians rely on Metropolitan for<br />
imported water. Metropolitan wholesales imported water supplies to 26 member cities<br />
and water districts in six Southern California counties. Since 1983, the total regional<br />
retail water demands within Metropolitan’s service area have increased from about 2.9<br />
million acre-feet to nearly 4.2 million acre-feet in 2007. Metropolitan has provided<br />
between 45 and 60 percent <strong>of</strong> the municipal, industrial, and agricultural water used in its<br />
nearly 5,200-squre-mile service area. The remaining supply comes from local wells,<br />
local surface water, recycled water supplies, and from the City <strong>of</strong> Los Angeles’s aqueduct<br />
in the eastern Sierra Nevada.<br />
Metropolitan is governed by a Board <strong>of</strong> Directors comprised <strong>of</strong> 37 appointed individuals<br />
with a minimum <strong>of</strong> one representative from each <strong>of</strong> Metropolitan’s 26 member agencies.<br />
The allocation <strong>of</strong> directors and voting rights are determined by each agency’s assessed<br />
