6.6 DESALINATED WATER OPPORTUNITIES Law

The groundwater under the City is not brackish in nature, and does not require desalination. The City has not included desalinated water as part of its water supply projections. 6.7 EXCHANGES OR TRANSFERS Law There are currently no known exchanges, transfers, or interties that exist between the City and any other water system. 6.8 FUTURE WATER PROJECTS Law 10631 (h) Describe the opportunities for development of desalinated water, including, but not limited to, ocean water, brackish water, and groundwater, as a long-term supply 10631 (d) Describe the opportunities for exchanges or transfers of water on a short-term or long-term basis. 10631 (g) …The urban water supplier shall include a detailed description of expected future water projects and programs…that the urban water supplier may implement to increase the amount of the water supply available to the urban water supplier in average, single-dry, and multiple-dry water years. The description shall identify specific projects and include a description of the increase in water supply that is expected to be available from each project. The description shall include an estimate with regard to the implementation timeline for each project or program. As discussed in previous sections the City’s sole source of potable water is groundwater. As such, the only method available to provide additional supply capacity for growing demand is the construction of new wells, and there are no additional types of future water projects the City plans to implement, as indicated on the following page in Table 6-7 .
