Document Description
SJWD would transfer up to 4,302 acre-feet of water that it will not otherwise deliver to its wholesale customer agencies Citrus Heights Water District and Fair Oaks Water District as a result of additional pumping and use of groundwater in those districts. The water thus made available for transfer is a portion of SJWD’s pre-1914 water rights water, which would be transferred to the Santa Clara Valley Water District and a consortium of State Water Contractors, including the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, Kern County Water Agency, Alameda County Water District, Napa County FC & WCD, Kings County Water District, Palmdale Water District, Dudley Ridge Water District, Zone 7 Water Agency, Central Coast Water Authority, and Antelope Valley-East Kern Water Agency, through State Water Project facilities of the California Department of Water Resources.
