    Water Supply Management Report 2018-2019 Water Year

    FINAL January 28, 2020 City of Santa Barbara Water Supply Management Report 2018-2019 Water Year Prepared by Water Resources Division, Public Works Department City of Santa Barbara Water Supply Management Report 2019 Water Year (October 1, 2018 – September 30, 2019) Water Resources Division, Public Works Department January 28, 2020 INTRODUCTION The City of Santa Barbara operates the water utility to provide water for its citizens, certain out-of-City areas, and visitors. Santa Barbara is an arid area, so providing an adequate water supply requires careful management of water resources. The City has a diverse water supply including local reservoirs (Lake Cachuma and Gibraltar Reservoir), groundwater, State Water, desalination, and recycled water. The City also considers water conservation an important tool for balancing water supply and demand. The City's current Long-Term Water Supply Plan (LTWSP) was adopted by City Council on June 14, 2011. This annual report summarizes the following information: The status of water supplies at the end of the water year (September 30, 2019) Drought outlook Water conservation and demand Major capital projects that affect the City’s ability to provide safe clean water Significant issues that affect the security and reliability of the City’s water supplies Appendix A provides supplemental detail. Additional information about the City's water supply can be found on-line at: www.SantaBarbaraCA.gov/Water. WATER SUPPLIES The City has developed five different water supplies: local surface water; local groundwater (which includes water that seeps into Mission Tunnel); State Water; desalinated seawater; and recycled water. Typically, most of the City’s demand is met by local surface water reservoirs and recycled water and augmented as necessary by local groundwater, State Water, and desalination.

  • Fire Response De

    Fire Response De

    The Honorable Governor Edmund G. “Jerry” Brown State Capitol Building Sacramento, CA 95814 May 16, 2018 Re: Fire Response Dear Governor Brown, We have reviewed your May 10, 2018, Executive Order on forests and fire. We are writing to urge you to develop a response to our increasingly flammable environment by focusing on the factors that led to the loss of so many lives and homes in the 2017 wildfires, not on forests far from our communities most at risk. The current focus on dead trees in forests is especially misguided because all of the wildfires most devastating to communities in California had nothing to do with such forests. And while it is reasonable to remove hazard trees immediately adjacent to roads and homes, it makes no sense to spend millions of dollars to treat entire forests while the actual fire threat facing thousands of families occurs very far away from these forests. We urge you to break from the conventions that have led to the current crisis and to turn California toward a more rational and effective response to the threat of wildfire. What we have been doing, trying to control the natural environment, is not working. While large, wind-driven, high-intensity wildfires and post-fire debris flows are an inevitable part of California, the devastation to our lives and communities is not inevitable. We can choose to reject the predominant view that there is little we can do to stop the destruction to communities caused by wind-driven fires, but it will require a significant change in thinking.

Both burned homes, but thanks to the fire agencies, the Doris Lombard Marvin Spreyne number destroyed was relatively small, and there were no fatalities. Staff: Edwina Scott Executive Director The Mountain Fire, which began in Mountain Center on July 15, burned south Don Patterson Project Manager Pat Boss Project Manager and east of Idyllwild, bringing about the first evacuation of Idyllwild since the Bee Canyon Fire in 1996. It destroyed seven homes. The Silver Fire started Support: on August 7 west of Poppet Flat, burned east towards the desert, and caused the evacuation of the north side of the mountain, as well as areas in Cabazon. It destroyed 26 homes. Evacuations in both cases, led by the Riv- erside County Office of Emergency Services and the Sheriff’s Department, went smoothly and without incident. But there are worrisome aspects to these fires. The first is how fast they moved. Cal Fire’s Chief Kevin Gaines said he has never seen a fire move as quickly as did the Silver through Poppet Flat. Other officials made similar comments about the Mountain Fire, racing from its point of origin through Bonita Vista in record time.

    Groundwater Resources Are in Long-Term Balance in Accordance with the Conjunctive Management Element of the City’S Long-Term Water Supply Plan

    6-a CITY OF SANTA BARBARA COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Draft AGENDA DATE: January 23, 2018 TO: Mayor and Councilmembers FROM: Water Resources Division, Public Works Department SUBJECT: Drought Update and Annual Water Supply Management Report RECOMMENDATION: That Council: A. Receive an update on the status of the current drought, drought-response capital projects, and continuing efforts; and B. Approve and adopt the City of Santa Barbara Water Supply Management Report for the 2017 water year, finding that groundwater resources are in long-term balance in accordance with the conjunctive management element of the City’s Long-Term Water Supply Plan. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Since January 2014, staff has been providing monthly drought updates on water supply status, drought-response capital projects, community conservation, and other drought- related issues. Staff will provide a monthly update for January 2018. In addition, staff will present the 2017 Annual Water Supply Management Report (WSMR). The 2017 WSMR is a backwards-looking document that summarizes water supplies and issues for the water year that occurred from October 2016-September 2017. The report fulfills a mitigation requirement of the Coastal Branch of the State Water Project to manage water supplies to prevent long-term overdraft of local groundwater. DISCUSSION: Drought Update Council declared the Stage One and Stage Two Drought Conditions on February 11, 2014, and May 20, 2014, respectively, as a result of unprecedented drought conditions. On May 5, 2015, in response to the driest consecutive four-year period on record, Council declared a Stage Three Drought Emergency. Since then, the Stage Three Drought condition has been amended with appropriate conservation targets and water use regulations in response to current and forecasted supply conditions.
