Document Description
MWA and County are SWP Contractors that receive imported water deliveries from the SWP; each has a water supply contract with DWR for water from the SWP. Given the 2022 SWP allocation of 5% plus minimum human health and safety demands, County is anticipating the need of additional surface water in 2023 to meet its projected Kettleman City demands. MWA has a portion of its Article 56 Carryover Water available for transfer to County for delivery to Kettleman City in 2023. Under this agreement, MWA will make 75 acre-feet of its Article 56 Carryover Water available for transfer to County in 2023. Water will be delivered using existing SWP facilities, and in a manner similar to other deliveries from the SWP.
