Westside Districts State Water Project Multi-Year Transfer Agreement with Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency

Westside Districts State Water Project Multi-Year Transfer Agreement with Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency

The proposed Project involves a 59-year transfer agreement of SWP Table A supplies between SCV Water and the Westside Districts. The agreement would initiate in 2026 and terminate on December 31, 2085. Under the agreement, SCV Water would annually assess its water supplies and determine whether it has surplus Table A water to transfer. On or before June 1 of each year, SCV Water would provide the Westside Districts with an updated quantity of available water for that calendar year. Within ten days of receipt of SCV Water’s updated quantity of available water, SCV Water and Westside Districts would finalize the quantity of water for transfer and/or exchange.
