Title

Water Management Program Agreement between Montecito Water District and Homer LLC

Description

The proposed project involves a five-year (2025 to 2029) transfer agreement of SWP supplies between the District and Homer LLC. Under the agreement, the District would annually assess its water supplies and determine whether it has surplus Table A SWP water to transfer. If the District determines it has surplus Table A water, Homer would be obligated to purchase the surplus SWP water at a predetermined unit price. The transfer of Table A SWP supplies would take place at the Banks Pumping Plant (Alameda and Contra Costa Counties). In addition, the project involves potential single-year transfer agreements of Article 56C (carryover) SWP supplies between MWD and Homer during the period of 2025 to 2029. These agreements may be executed in years when MWD determines it has surplus SWP supplies carried over from prior years. The transfer of Article 56C SWP supplies to Homer would take place at the San Luis Reservoir. No new or upgraded physical infrastructure would be required to implement these transfer agreements because the surface and groundwater facilities and connections to Kern County Water Agency and Homer LLC facilities currently exist and are in regular use for delivery of SWP supplies via Kern County Water Agency.
