Title: Contra Costa Water District Exchange with Alameda County Water District and Zone 7
Summary: Alameda County Water District (WD) and Zone 7 are State Water Project (SWP) contractors located in Alameda County. Both districts have banked SWP water stored in Semitropic WD. Zone 7 has additional SWP water banked in Cawelo WD. Under banking programs, this banked water is pumped into the California Aqueduct for use by SWP water users located south of Semitropic and Cawelo WD's. In exchange Alameda County WD and Zone 7 are delivered an equal amount of SWP water from the San Joaquin-Sacramento River Delta. Due to the ongoing drought, low water supply allocations, and periodic capacity limitations in Semitropic and Cawelo WD's, the two districts are seeking additional methods for return of their previously banked water. Consequently, the districts have entered into an agreement with Contra Costa WD to exchange their previously banked SWP water for an equal amount of Contra Costa WD's Central Valley Project water in a one-for-one exchange. Reclamation proposes to approve an exchange of up to 5,000 AF of water between Contra Costa WD and Alameda County WD and Zone 7.
