Document Description
In 1963, the Santa Barbara County Flood Control and Water Conservation district 9District) entered into a State Water supply Contract with DWR for the delivery of SWP water to the County (State Water Supply Contract). In exchange for such service, the District agreed to repay all associated SWP capital and operating costs to DWR. Between 1984 and 1988, each member, including Carpinteria Valley water District, entered into an agreement with the District, through which each member obtained contractual rights to receive water from the SWP (Water Supply Retention Agreements)
To authorize CCWA to agree to the assignment, the project involves the following approvals by Carpinteria Valley water District. (1) approval of an Amendment to the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement to authorize CCWA to contract with DWR for the delivery of SWP water to the County; and (2) an Amendment to the Water supply Agreement between Carpinteria Valley Water District and CCWA to affirm CCWA's power to levy a tax or assessment as necessary to provide for all payments under the State Water supply Contract in the event CCWA Is unable to raise sufficient funds by other means.
