INFORMATION & DISCUSSION

WATER SUPPLY AND RESOURCES UPDATE SUMMARY:

This report summarizes water supply data and water resources briefs.

Imported Water

For the month of August, Central Basin Municipal Water District (CBMWD) supplied 2,623 acre-feet (AF) direct deliveries of imported water. This reflects a 9.75% increase compared to 2,390 AF supplied last year during August 2020. Year-to-date total demands for Tier 1 imported water are 5,404 AF, which represents a 21.24% increase from the same period during the previous fiscal year (FY) when demands totaled 4,684 AF. A detailed list of these deliveries is attached as Exhibit “A” and Figure 1, below, graphically compares these deliveries to the previous FY.

Recycled Water

For the month of July, CBMWD supplied 659 AF of recycled water supplies. This reflects a 13% increase compared to 583 AF of recycled water supplied during July 2020. Recycled water demands for FY 2021 are 658.83 AF. A detailed list of these deliveries is included as Exhibit “B.” Figure 2 below graphically shows estimated recycled water deliveries during July in comparison to the previous fiscal year.

Figure 2

Drought Monitor

(As of 9/27/21) Any meaningful precipitation was confined to the northern Rockies and the Pacific Northwest, resulting in a modest improvement in the drought depiction for those areas.

As colder air arrived on September 19, precipitation changed to snow in Yellowstone National Park and other high-elevation sites in the northern Rockies and Northwest. In Oregon, record-setting rainfall totals for September 18 reached 1.31 inches in Portland and 1.13 inches in Salem.

Farther south, the 2021 North American monsoon has withdrawn from the Southwest, roughly on schedule, following a summer of beneficial rainfall that provided relief from short-term drought but left significant, underlying long-term drought issues such as groundwater depletion and low reservoir levels. Areas that received substantial monsoon-related rainfall are designated on the map with an “L” label, indicating that long-term drought persists.

Elsewhere, several wildfires continued to actively burn, especially in parts of California. The latest “hot spot” for wildfire activity was the southern Sierra Nevada, where the Windy Fire and the KNP Complex were the most significant incidents. The KNP Complex, a 28,000-acre, lightning-sparked fire, was burning in California’s Sequoia National Park. The Windy Fire,

which has charred more than 31,000 acres of vegetation and was also igniting by lightning, was burning in several jurisdictions, including the Tule River Indian Reservation and the Sequoia National Forest.

Colorado River Supplies

Lake Mead’s storage trends in comparison to previous years are demonstrated in Figure 6.

Lake Mead currently has 1.29 Million AF less storage than this time last year, and is projecting to have an increased risk of being in a shortage over the next five years. In fact, as months have progressed, the likelihood of using the Drought Contingency Plan (DCP) and withdrawing from their water storage increases. The Upper Colorado Basin precipitation measures 24.7 inches of water-year-to-date.

Statewide Reservoir Conditions

Attached, as Exhibit “C,” is the reservoir condition report from the Department of Water Resources. As of September 26th, conditions are indicated as follows:

• Lake Shasta, part of the federally owned Central Valley Project (CVP), was at 40% of historical average and at 24% of capacity.

• The San Luis Reservoir provides water south of the Delta and was at 27% of historical average and 12% of capacity. This reservoir is shared by the CVP and the State Water Project (SWP).

• Lake Oroville, one of the largest reservoirs of the SWP, was at 34% of historical average and 22% of capacity.

CBMWD Conservation Programs

• Southeast Water Efficiency Program (SEWEP):

o This project aims at reducing water consumption by public facilities in the Southeast Los Angeles County region.

o Two Components:

 Audits of public facilities to determine water use efficiency

 Retrofits based upon the results of the audit

o Through SEWEP, the CBMWD plans on continuing our partnership with cities and school districts in our service area to secure our region’s water reliability and effectively manage and conserve our current water supply. Another benefit of SEWEP will be a proactive effort to educate community members on how to decrease water consumption. The goals of the project are in alignment with the guidelines for Water Supply Reliability, Water Conservation and Water Use Efficiency

• Metropolitan Water District Programs & Financial Incentives o BeWaterWise

 Residential and Commercial Rebate Program o Stormwater for Direct Use

 Direct-use projects capture local rainfall and stormwater runoff. The captured water is typically stored in an underground cistern and used to meet non-potable demands

o On-Site Retrofit

 Recycled water is an important water supply for the region. Increased use of this resource will help meet expected water demands and improve water supply reliability. Although there are recycled water supplies available in many areas, its use has been limited by site conversion costs. This program provides financial incentives to assist public and private property owners to convert irrigation or industrial systems from potable to recycled water. The results will help agencies identify other ways to increase recycled water use in this region

Page 6 of 34

(9)

o Stormwater for Recharge

 Stormwater recharge projects capture stormwater for groundwater recharge and future production. Some examples of recharge projects include stormwater capture through centralized spreading basins, dry wells, or infiltration galleries

o Local Resources Program

 Since 1982, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) has invested in local regional water supply reliability projects through the Local Resources Program (LRP). The LRP accelerates the development of local projects by incentivizing agencies within MWD’s service area to construct recycled water, groundwater recovery and seawater desalination projects. Today, LRP projects support nearly half the recycled water and groundwater recovery production in the district’s service area

• MWD Member Agency Allocation Fund

o MWD allocates a budget to their member agencies-conservation program use (as long as it does not overlap with their existing programs)

o This budget is most flexible when being used for Disadvantaged Communities (DAC)

o CBMWD is able to assign a portion of its budget to its customers, who can also choose to add additional funding to that program

o Sample Programs

 Education Outreach (classes, educational videos, animation clips)

 Demonstration Gardens

 Pre-made California Friendly Garden Palette Packets

• (For residential use)

 DAC Landscape Water Conservative Retrofit

 DAC Full Water Conservative Turf Replacement

 DAC Water Conservative Toilet Retrofit & Installation

 DAC Weather Based Irrigation Controller

 Customized Program with General Manager Approval o Turn in Program Request for Approval

 After the General Manager signs off on the program, it will be submitted to MWD for pre-approval before commencing

CBMWD continues to urge its purveyors to join in water-conservation efforts to ensure a reliable water supply.

INFORMATION & DISCUSSION

METROPOLITAN WATER DISTRICT WATER RESOURCES UPDATE SUMMARY:

On September 13, 2021, the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) conducted their Water Planning and Stewardship Committee meeting. Below is an update on actions and information that was provided during this Committee.

1 Public Comment

1) Burbank resident suggests that MWD partners with cities to fund rain gardens so that they could recharge regional aquafers.

2) Assistant Planner at the Gateway Cities Council of Governments - In 2020 an organization received a $200,000 grant from the California Resilience Challenge (CRC) for an urban tree canopy prioritization project.

a. Consists of developing urban level tree canopy assessments in four gateway cities: Montebello, Lynwood, Paramount, and Vernon.

b. Three quarters of the region’s residents live in areas that are designated as disadvantaged and with environmental burdens (freeways, ports, railroad systems, and local industries). Addresses them by creating tree canopies.

c. Appreciates the opportunity from the CRC grant and looks forward to future funding opportunities

3) Senior Vice President from Public Cal Bay Area Council Foundation/ Chief Program Manager for the 2021 California Resiliency Challenge (Agenda Item 7-4) – Thanks MWD for supporting this statewide unprecedented statewide initiative.

4) Sierra Club California – MWD has been buying islands in the Delta region and there is not a long-term goal. MWD should be building up imported water capabilities and drought resiliency instead of building up assets.

2-A The minutes were approved without any abstentions.

7-4 Express support for the 2021 California Resilience Challenge; and approve a financial sponsorship of $200,000 to continue as a Resilience Leader and Steering Committee member; Attached is the presentation (Exhibit “A”) regarding this agenda item.

• Focuses on climate resiliency and underserved communities:

o Climate extremes (drought, flooding, fires, and heat) threaten our communities o The more fortunate have good infrastructure and amenities like air conditioning,

but underserved communities do not have such resources

o Showcases innovative approaches towards California Resilience o By donating, MWD would secure a position on the Steering Committee

9-3 Considerations for purchasing land which uses higher-priority Colorado River water supplies. Attached is the presentation (Exhibit “B”) regarding this agenda item

• There exists a need for water savings

• MWD’s methods of saving water in senior priority Agricultural Areas o Fallowing

 Palo Verdes Irrigation District (PVID) fallowing reduces priority 1

&3b water use o MWD Land ownership

 Potential water supply benefits

 Ownership and leasing for the long term

 Allows for community investment and support

 Creates opportunity for partnerships to improve Colorado River sustainability

Update on Water Surplus and Drought Management

Attached are the Report (Exhibit “C”) and Presentation (Exhibit “D”) regarding Water Surplus and Drought Management report

• Drafting Storage in 2021 for Supply/Demand

o 652 Thousand Acre-Feet gap between the Colorado River Aqueduct (CRA) supplies and current demand forecast

o To satisfy the gap between supply and demand, MWD will be drafting from storage

• Targeted actions to respond to potential historic dry conditions began in January o Jan: Began release from Diamond Valley Lake to serve connections on the

Lakeview Pipeline

o Feb: MWD began pump-back operations at Lake Perris to withdraw flexible storage to meet Mills demands

o Mar: Returns from Semitropic Storage Program and Kern Delta Storage Program began

o Apr: Began operating CRA at full capacity for the first time since 2015

 Board voted to explore purchasing transfers north of the Delta

 Eastern MWD began shifting deliveries, when possible

o May: Board approved new Operational Shift Cost Offset Program (OSCOP) o Jun: Greg Avenue pumping station tests completed and began operation o Jul: West Basin MWD began shifting demands

 LADWP began shifting demands through OSCOP

o Aug: Began receiving exchange of surface water supplies from the Arvin-Edison Storage Program

• MWD Evaluates new drought actions for the new and long terms o Generated 132 creative ideas

 ~50 selected for further development

• Update on Department of Water Resources (DWR) Actions

o Anticipating a zero percent initial 2022 State Water Projects (SWP) allocation

 Lake Oroville is projected to have record low storage levels

o Reclamation and DWR may exchange water per written agreement and a Consolidated Place of Use Order from the State Water Resources Control Board.

(20)

• DWR is requesting an assessment of SWP Contractor 2022 Health and Safety Needs

• Access storage from Southern SWP Reservoirs

• Temporarily modify SWP pump-in policies

• DWR is indicating actions that may require a drought emergency declaration within MWD’s service area
