Document Description
The Water Acquisition Project is the purchase of water by CLWA from BVWSD/RRBWSD pursuant to the BVWSD/RRBWSD Water Banking and Recovery Program, which is a joint endeavor between BVWSD and RRBWSD involving the recharge, groundwater banking, recovery, and exchange of water. The purchased water would be provided by BVWSD/RRBWSD to CLWA at the Tupman turnout located in Reach 12E of the California Aqueduct, either through an in-lieu exchange of BVWSD/RRBWDS's SWP supplies or through the pumping and direct delivery into the Cailfornia Aqueduct of BVWSD/RRBWSD's banked groundwater. When direct delivery is needed BVWSD/RRBWSD would use the Cross Valley Canal (CVC) to transport the purchased water to the California Aqueduct at Reach 12E, the Tupman turnout.
Under the Water Acquisition Project, CLWA would have rights to purchase an annual water suppy of 11,000 acre-feet from BVWSD/RRBWSD during the term of CLWA's SWP Contract with an option to extend to a later date. Under certain hydrologic and operational conditions, an additional 9,000 AF could be purchased from year to year when water may be available, for a total of 20,000 AF. This additional water would only be available periodically, and while it would increase the water supply reliability for the CLWA service area, it would not support new development.
