Crestline-Lake Arrowhead Water Agency and San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District Proposed Multi-Year Water Exchange Project

Crestline-Lake Arrowhead Water Agency and San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District Proposed Multi-Year Water Exchange Project

This Project is the implementation of the CLAWA and San Bernardino Valley proposed Multi-Year Water Exchange Project (the Project), which will allow for flexibility in management and use of allocated excess carryover State Water Project (SWP) water by Crestline-Lake Arrowhead Water Agency (CLAWA). The Project consists of a framework for San Bernardino Valley, at the request of CLAWA, to receive excess CLAWA carryover SWP water during periods when CLAWA is unable to accept delivery, and for CLAWA to receive return water from San Bernardino Valley. For every 1 acre-foot that CLAWA provides to San Bernardino Valley, up to ½ acre-foot may be returned thereby providing a net water supply benefit to the San Bernardino Valley. The Project would be implemented on an as-needed basis, consistent with Article 56 of the Water Management Amendment to the SWP Water Supply Contract with DWR. The framework would follow the terms and conditions identified in Appendix A of Article 56 of the Water Management Amendment to the SWP Water Supply Contract with DWR. The Project would not require new construction, and/or alteration/improvements to existing facilities. The proposed water exchange would use existing facilities, and there would be no changes to the maximum volume of allocated SWP water to either CLAWA or San Bernardino Valley, no material changes to the operation of the SWP itself, or material changes to the existing use of CLAWA and San Bernardino’s existing facilities.
