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.
