Document Description
The District is preparing for potential one-year water transfers over a five-year period from 2026 through 2030. The transfers may be for environmental enhancement or for one or more buyers with temporary unmet consumptive water demands. Santa Clara Valley Water District (Valley Water) would have the first right of refusal for the water transfers from BWD. If Valley Water chooses to not take the water transfers, the District could transfer to any potential buyer in the State including, but not limited to, those in Sacramento County.
