RECOMMENDED ACTION:

ITEM EXPLANATION:
Between February 4 and February 14, 2002, the San Diego County Water Authority (CWA)
will be performing pipeline maintenance. In order to accomplish this, CWA will be shutting
down Pipeline 4 in the Second San Diego Aqueduct, which supplies the Carlsbad Municipal
Water District with its only source of treated water. With this pipeline shut down, CMWD will
be relying on the water stored in available District reservoirs.
In preparation, CMWD personnel will be filling all District reservoirs to capacity, which
constitutes a IO-day supply for CMWD customers under normal conditions. In order to
spare existing supplies for firefighting, sanitation, drinking and other indoor uses, staff is
requesting that the Board declare a Temporary Water Supply Shortage during this period,
lasting until the re-establishment of water service through the affected aqueduct or February
14th, whichever comes first.
This declaration is in accordance with Section 71640 of the California Water Code,
Water Use Restrictions During the Temporary Water Supply Shortage
The District is requesting voluntary compliance with the following water use restrictions
during the Temporary Water Supply Shortage:

included with the utility bill mailed at the end of January.

for these purposes.
