| Title: | Patterson Irrigation District 1-Year Transfer for up to 6,000 acre-feet of Available Surface Water Supply to Santa Clara Water District |
|---|---|
| Tracking Number: | CGB-ED-2024-002 |
| Progress: | COMPLETED |
| Summary: | Reclamation proposes to approve Patterson Irrigation District (PID) delivery of up to 6,000 AF of PID Transfer Water to Valley Water over the transfer period. All water stored within federal facilities would be delivered prior to the end of the transfer period (by February 28, 2025).Water made available to Valley Water by PID would occur under the following conditions: 1) PID would make available a minimum of 4,000 AF of Transfer Water to Valley Water. 2) If PID is allocated 100 percent of its Replacement Water by Reclamation, PID would make available an additional 2,000 AF of Transfer Water to Valley Water. PID Replacement Water would continue to be pumped from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta into the Delta-Mendota Canal (DMC); however, rather than being delivered to PID turnouts, the water would be delivered to ONeill Forebay and pumped into San Luis Reservoir. From San Luis Reservoir, the water would be diverted to Reach 1 of the Pacheco Tunnel and then to the Pacheco Pumping Plant where it would be lifted into the Pacheco Conduit and delivered to Valley Water via the Santa Clara Conduit and Tunnel. Valley Water would then convey the water through its internal distribution system to its water users. As required by Reclamations water rights permits, CVP water may only be used in portions of Valley Water that are within the Consolidated Place of Use (CPOU). |
