Document Description
The original Agreement, SWPAO #02031, executed March 10, 2006, sets forth the terms and conditions for the change in point of delivery of up to 200 acre-feet of the County of Kings’ (County) approved annual Table A Amount from Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District’s (TLBWSD) turnouts in Reach 8C to Westlands Water District’s (WWD) turnouts in Reaches 6 and 7 of the California Aqueduct through December 31, 2035. The water delivered to WWD’s turnouts under this Agreement is on behalf of MRP San Joaquin Energy LLC for the Henrietta Peaker Power Plant, which is within the County’s service area.
In order to better manage its water supply, the County has requested for DWR’s approval to also be able to use a portion of its Article 56 Carryover Water in delivering water to WWD’s turnouts under SWPAO #02031. The total water quantity, delivery locations and use remain the same.
This Amendment to SWPAO #02031 approves the change in point of delivery of a total combined amount of up to 200 acre-feet per year of the County’s approved annual Table A Amount and/or Article 56 Carryover Water to WWD’s turnouts in Reaches 6 and 7 of the California Aqueduct.
