Final Report, 2010 Urban Water Management Plan - Culver City

4.1 Water SourcesThe Golden State Water Company (GSWC) currently obtains its water supply for the Culver CitySystem by purchasing imported water from the West Basin Municipal Water District (WBMWD).WBMWD obtains its imported water supply from the Metropolitan Water District of SouthernCalifornia (Metropolitan).Table 4-1, below, summarizes the current and planned water supplies available to GSWC forthe Culver City System that will meet their projected water demands, based upon GSWC’s longtermwater supply planning projections and those of its wholesale suppliers. GSWC’s watersupply is projected to increase by about 27 percent from 2010 to 2035 to meet the associatedprojected water demands, with all of this demand being met by imported water from WBMWD.Water demand projections are documented in Chapter 3.Table 4-1:Current and Planned Water Supplies for the Culver City System in ac-ft/yrSource 2010 (1) 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035Imported water from WBMWD 5,454 6,638 6,730 6,814 6,897 6,975Groundwater 0 0 0 0 0 0Recycled water 0 0 0 0 0 0Total 5,454 6,638 6,730 6,814 6,897 6,975Notes:1. 2010 water supplies are based on actual production records.2. Table format based on DWR Guidebook Table 16.In 2010, imported water made up 100 percent of the available supply and is projected to makeup 100 percent in future years as well. Therefore, GSWC is actively pursuing the availability of areliable, cost effective supply of imported water through the implementation of conjunctive usestorage programs. Storage programs could utilize water imported from WBMWD or waterimported from other suppliers. This water supply summary was developed based on informationprovided by Metropolitan, WBMWD, and GSWC.The sources and reliability of supply are briefly described below, and detailed descriptions followin subsequent sections.Imported water: Includes imported water from Metropolitan delivered through WBMWD, andpotential transfer water from other sources for conjunctive use in the Central and West CoastBasins.Groundwater: There are currently no sources of groundwater supplying the Culver CitySystem.Recycled water: There are currently no sources for recycled water for the Culver City System.The potential for future recycled water use is described in Section 4.8.Page 4-2Final Report, 2010 Urban Water Management Plan – Culver CityGolden State Water Companyg:\adminasst\jobs\2010\1070001.00_gswc-uwmp\09-reports\9.09-reports\2011-08\grp3\gswc_culvercity_2010_uwmp-final.doc
