2.1. Water Supply Conditions
Mr. Hunt reported that water supply conditions in the Sierras have started
well, with rainfall above average. However, conditions on the Colorado
River are on the dry side.
2.2. Water Supply Opportunities for Next Year, as reported by Mr. Hunt:
• Poseidon - Agencies in San Diego are voting Nov 29 to accept or
reject the Carlsbad Ocean Desalination Project, proposed to
produce 50,000 AFY at a cost of $2,400/AF. Approval is expected.
• Cadiz — This is a proposed groundwater banking project in the
desert area being pursued by a private entity. There are major
political issues against the project.
• SOCOD - This is the South Orange County Ocean Desalter Project
in Dana Point that is being considered by five water entities in the
vicinity. It is being evaluated, with a projected capacity of 15 MGD
and estimated to deliver water for cost in the range of $1,500/AF.
The project has a reasonable shot of proceeding.
