Document Description
San Juan Water District (San Juan) will sell up to 6,000 AF of water to Sacramento Suburban Water District (SSWD), which San Juan has previously conserved through various conservation efforts, including primarily the improved water use efficiency of its customers. The project does not involve the construction of any new facilities or the modification or expansion of capacity of existing facilities. San Juan will benefit from the project as a result of being better able to utilize the surface water supplies it has available to it for public benefit, as well as receiving revenue that will improve its wholesale enterprise’s financial position. SSWD will benefit from the receipt of surface water to improve the conjunctive management and health of its north groundwater basin.
