East Ya rey Water District

MEMORANDUM
To: Board of Directors ~///
From: Robert E. Martin, General Manager
,~ubject Groundwater Recharge Project
As I have previously advised you, efforts are underway with the Water
Conservation District and the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District to
implement a groundwater recharge program similar to the project we participated in last
year. The goal is to spread State Project Water in the upper portion of the Santa Ana
Basin during the remaining six (6) weeks of this year. At their workshop last week, the
"Muni" Board proposed the adoption of a special rate fbr this limited recharge operation.
Currently, their "spot" price for purchasing State Project Water is $185 per acre foot.
What they have proposed is a special rate of $120 per ace foot for the remaining six (6)
weeks of this year. In addition, the San Bernardino Valley Water Conservation District
has authorized a 50% subsidy of this rate. So, for our District, the total charge for any
water we spread would be $60 per acre foot.
I have taken the liberty to order 25 cfs of water from "Muni' beginning Monday
morning, November 17th. The District does budget a moderate amount of money each
year for limited water purchases. If the Board chooses to modify this proposal, then we
can easily change the order for water. If we can maintain a flow rate of 25 cfs for the
remainder of this year, we should be able to spread approximately twenty-two hundred
and fifty (2,250) acre feet of water. The cost to our District Ibr this amount of water
would be $135,000. This far exceeds the amount that we had budgeted and, as a result,
must be approved by the Board of Directors. I encourage your support of this project.
Last year we spread a similar amount of water. Although, in the overall scheme of
things, this is not a huge amount of water, we did see beneficial results at many of our
wells from last years recharge operation. Unfortunately, with the ongoing drought that
we are experiencing, I believe that we absolutely have to take some action.
