Document Description
Zone 7 and MWA are SWP Contractors that receive imported water deliveries from the SWP. MWA and Zone 7 each have water supply contracts with DWR for water from the SWP. Given the 2021 SWP allocation of only 5%, Zone 7 is anticipating the need of additional surface water in 2021 to meet its projected demands. MWA has a portion of its Article 56 Carryover Water available for delivery to Zone 7 in 2021. Under this agreement, MWA will make available 3,600 AF of MWA’s Article 56 Carryover Water for transfer to Zone 7 in 2021. Water will be delivered using existing SWP facilities, and in a manner similar to other deliveries from the SWP.
