Crossings Water Supply Assessment The regional water supply agencies acknowledge the challenges of supply acquisition and also the need for adaptable implementation strategy and fully intend to develop sufficient reliable supplies to meet demands. Water suppliers recognize additional water supplies are necessary and supply portfolios need to be reassessed and redistributed with the intent to serve existing and future needs. Metropolitan plans to update its Integrated Water Resources Plan (IRP) to account for the Delta and other potential supply impact issues. Crossings Water Supply Assessment (continued) The state of current water supply situation is documented in the Crossings WSA with the intent to provide supply through reassessment and reallocation via the Water Authority and Metropolitan IRP and UWMP update processes. It is believed that the Board has met the intent of SB 610 statute in that: 1)Land use agencies and water suppliers have demonstrated strong linkage. 2)The Crossings Water Supply Assessment clearly documents the current water supply situation. Crossings Water Supply Assessment Based on existing documentation the WSA Report demonstrates and documents that sufficient water supplies are planned and intended to be acquired. WSA Report documents the actions necessary to develop these water supplies. Crossings project proponents have committed to implement water conservation measures such as ultra low flow toilets, waterless urinals, recycled water irrigation, and low water use landscape plantings. Water supply for the Crossings Project and for existing and future developments within the Otay WD for a 20-year planning horizon, under normal and in single and multiple dry years are planned for and are intended to be made available. Water Authority Capital Improvement Program Planned facilities are adequate to acquire and deliver water supplies. 9 Emergency Storage Project 9 100 MGD Twin Oaks WTP 9 San Vicente Reservoir Expansion Carryover Storage Project 9 Pipeline No. 6 9 All American Canal Lining Project 9 Coachella Canal Lining Project 9 IID QSA Water Transfer (Fallow Farmland) Projected Water Supplies – Water Authority Service Area Normal Year (acre feet) Water Supply Sources 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 Water Authority Supplies Metropolitan Supplies 445,858 399,855 331,374 342,870 372,922 Water Authority/IID Transfer 70,000 100,000 190,000 200,000 200,000 AAC and CC Lining Projects 77,700 77,700 77,700 77,700 77,700 Member Agency Supplies Local Surface Water 59,649 59,649 59,649 59,649 59,649 Recycled Water 33,668 40,662 45,548 46,492 47,584 Seawater Desalination 0 34,689 36,064 37,754 40,000 Groundwater 17,175 18,945 19,775 19,775 19,775 Groundwater Recovery 11,400 11,400 11,400 11,400 11,400 Total Projected Supplies 715,450 742,900 771,510 795,640 829,030 Source: The Water Authority 2005 Updated Urban Water Management Plan. The total projected supply data is balanced with the projected water demand. Metropolitan Preferential Rights Water Authority’s FY 2006 preferential right is 16.46% of Metropolitan’s supply. Water Authority accounted for approximately 25% of Metropolitan’s water sales. Metropolitan could allocate water without regard to historic water purchases or dependence on Metropolitan. Water Authority and its member agencies are taking measures to reduce dependence on Metropolitan. Independent development of a water supply portfolio that would not be jeopardized by a preferential rights allocation. Metropolitan Preferential Rights Metropolitan has stated, consistent with its Administrative Code that it is prepared to provide the Water Authority’s service area with adequate supplies of water to meet expanding and increasing needs in the years ahead. Metropolitan stated it will be prepared to deliver additional water resources required to meet increasing supply needs. Metropolitan 2005 RUWMP states that through effective management of its water supply, they fully expect to be 100 percent reliable in meeting all non-discounted non-interruptible demands throughout the next twenty-five years. Source from the Metropolitan 2005 RUWMP. Conclusion Water demand and supply forecastsare included in the planning documents of Metropolitan, Water Authority, and Otay WD. Actionsnecessary to develop water supplies are documented. WSA Report demonstrates and documents that sufficient water supplies are planned for and are intended to be available over the next 20 years. Metropolitan to update its IRP considering Delta issues and other potential water supply impacts. Recommendation That the Board of Directors approve the Water Supply Assessment Report dated November 2007 for the Otay Crossings Commerce Park.
