Document Description
In 2022, due to extreme drought conditions, DWR has allocated five percent State Water Project (SWP) Table A water to the SWP Contractors. Plumas County Flood Control and Water Conservation District’s (Plumas) 2022 approved Table A supply at five percent allocation is 135 acre-feet, which is insufficient to meet Plumas’s water demands in 2022. DWR will deliver to Plumas an additional 355 acre-feet, based on the availability of water supply from Lake Davis, which would provide Plumas with a total of 490 acre-feet for use in its service area in 2022.
