Sutter Extension Water District 2025 Water Transfer Program

Sutter Extension Water District 2025 Water Transfer Program

The Sutter Extension Water District (SEWD) proposes to sell up to 15,080 acre-feet (AF) of water to the State Water Contractors Inc., or other South of Delta purchasers, including one or more Central Valley Project contractors, or a buyer diverting the transfer water from within or upstream of the Delta (collectively, “Buyers”) during the 2025 irrigation season. SEWD proposes to make water available by idling cropland (i.e., non-irrigation of farmland by voluntary participants) and through groundwater substitution. Purchase of the water would lessen potential water supply shortages that the Buyers may occur as a result of dry hydrologic conditions and regulatory restrictions on the pumping in the Delta. Under the proposed project, water made available within the boundaries of SEWD could then be retained and stored in Lake Oroville by the Department of Water Resources for delivery.
