Document Description
California Water Services Company (Cal Water) provides water services to 38 communities throughout California. The Cal Water Oroville District incorporated in 1926 and has provided water service to the Oroville community since 1927 (UWMP).
The proposed project consists of the Cal Water Oroville District redirecting approximately 3,000 AFY of its 33,000 AFY Pre-1914 Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) water from the Miocene Canal to Lake Oroville, into the Thermalito Power Canal, and to the District's Filtration Plant (Water Treatment Plant - WTP). The redirected contract PG&E water will be moved from the Middle Miocene Canal at the Lime Saddle Powerhouse to Lake Oroville via an unnamed channel that extends from Kunkle Reservoir to the Lime Saddle Powerhouse and, subsequently, Lake Oroville. PG&E uses this channel to divert water into the Miocene Canal or from the Powerhouse to Lake Oroville will be used to eliminate water quality degradation that would otherwise be produced from flowing through Miocene Canal's open ditch system. A simplified system schematic of Cal Water's existing and proposed water conveyance for a portion of its contract PG&E water is provided in Figure 3 of Cal Water's Negative Declaration, Existing and Proposed Conveyance Schematic.
