CITV OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION AGENDA TITLEAdopt Resolution Approving Water Sale Agreement between the Woodbridge Irrigation District (WID) and the City of Lodi MEETING DATE', April 16, 2003 PREPARED Y. Public Works Director RECOMMENDED ACTION- That the City Council adopt a resolution approving a water sate agreement between the Woodbridge Irrigation District (WID) and the City of Lodi, BACKGROUND INFORMATIONAs the City Council is well aware, Lodi's sole water supply is groundwater that we draw from the overused (overdrafted) basin we share with our neighbors. While the catastrophic impacts of overdraffing the basin — mainly saline intrusion, from which the basin cannot recover — are not an imminent threat to Lodi, this is a problem for the entire area and Lodi should become pgrt of the solution, Lodi currently uses approximately 17,000 acre-feet of water per year, and our use is expected to grow to nearly 23,000 acre-feet by 2020. Our "deficit" in terms of overdraft is difficult to quantify, however, we have estimated it to be approximately 5,000 acre-feet under current conditions and up to 11,000 acre-feet in the future. (See attached Tables 3-5. 3-6, 3-7 and 4-1 from our latest Urban Water Management Plan.) The City Council has directed staff to pursue various partnerships to bring supplemental water supplies to our area. We have participated with adjacent water districts, San Joaquin County, and the City of Stockton in attempts to implement a groundwater -banking plan for our area. To date, these efforts have been unsuccessful. We are in the process of joining the Mokelumne River Water and Power Authority to obtain additional supplies from the Mokelumne River. (The Authority is currently only San Joaquin County and will include Stockton and Lodi.) The success of this effort is many years from being known. Staff has also had informal discussions with the Woodbridge Irrigation District (WID) over the years in conjunction with various water, drainage and Mokelumne River issues. The relationship between the City and the District has been a good one, and when the WID recognized they have some available water due to various conservation measures of District lands, these informal discussions led to talks about water supply. We have recently worked with the District on a water sate agreement and reviewed the major points of discussion with the City Council at its shirtsleeve session on March 11, 2003, Since then, staff has heard various informal comments on the sale, generally favorable; although the North San Joaquin Water Conservation District has raised some objections. On April 8, 2003, the WID Board approved the agreement (copy attached). The major points are: 6,000 acre-feet of water annually to the City — This represents the amount of water the District feels it can provide under normal circumstances. H. Dikon Flynn -- City Manager C WI INVale rS!a IPA q rflk 04108/03 Adopt Resolution Approving Water Sale Agreement between the Woodbridge Irrigation District (IIID) and the City of Lodi April 16, 2003 Page 2 * Payment to the District of $1.2 million annually — This amounts to a cost of $200 per acre-foot, which is a reasonable and fair amount, particularly in light of the cost of our alternatives and the fact that the delivery point for the water is at our doorstep. (For example, costs for the Mokelumne project are upwards of $400 per acre-foot with no delivery system.) * City to build and pay for facilities necessary to accept and use the water — As previously approved by the City Council, we have begun studies to determine these costs and examine alternative methods Of use (direct use, groundwater recharge, etc.). * Provision for additional water under various circumstances — Should we obtain other rights on the Mokelumne, we could "wheel" water via the MID at a reduced cost ($20 per acre-foot), or if the Wl D had additional water available, we could purchase it at a lower rate ($100 per acre-foot), * Price esQalator provisions after six years — Linked to the CPI with a 2% minirnurn and 5% maximum. * A 40 -year term, with mutually agreeable renewal provisions, * Provisions for dry year curtailments — Recognizing that the WID's supply is reduced in dry years, and that the City can fall back on groundwater, we can reduce our use of surface water in a greater proportion than the District, from 6,000 to 3,000 acre-feet (see next point). * Provisions for "carryover" or banking of water — Recognizing that we will not be able to use the water immediately, we can "bank" the first three years for use later, as the water is available. Similarly, during dry years when we curtail use per the preceding point, we can use additional water in later, wet years when the water is available. * Use oat the District canal and rights-of-way for delivery and distribution — In addition to eventually building supply intake(s) within the WID canal right-of-way, we may wish to use the canal right-of-way to transport water to portions of the City or build groundwater injection facilities. The provisions for use of additional water at reduced cost provide two important benefits. First, it allows for a lower average cost of water. Second, the "wheeling" provisions at $20 per acre-foot open opportunities for others who might wish to collaborate with Lodi in a groundwater banking project. Such collaboration could lower our cost to build facilities and the overall cost of the additional supply. Without these provisions, the cost of water, at $1,200,000 annually plus the cost of facilities (which is currently unknown, but very roughly in the $1 to $1.5 million range annually) is a significant cost to the water fund. Current water fund revenues from rates are approximately $6 million per year. Thus, the potential irnpact to water rates for the total cost of water and facilitiesisroughly 40%. A rate increase of this magnitude is lower than the two recent rate increases implemented for replacement of the aging water system. However, a portion of the total cost could be borne by development fees, which would Iower the impact to rates, Another alternative is to scale back the replacement program temporarily to allow for a series of smaller rate increases. Opbons and alternatives for obtaining and using surface water are currently being studied for the City by the consulting firm of Saracino, Kirby, Snow (SKS). Their work includes examining conservation and measures to mitigate now development impact to the groundwater basin. This work could provide the basis for updating development requirements, mitigations and fees. Staff proposes to address the issue of rates following discussion on this work by SKS. \V_'VCADC011 1,VVf �',Water1GWI MaterSaieAgmt.dcc 04/08103 Adopt Resolution Approving Water Sale Agreement between the Woodbridge Irrigation District (WID) and the City of Lodi April 16, 2003 Page 3 The District is anxious to pursue the construction of their new dam now that they have received the necessary Federal and State approvals, while they are "fresh". The process includes a court validation action, very similar to what the City has done to validate past Certificates of Participation. As noted in the agreement, payments for water will not begin until after entry of a final judgment, which should occur next fiscal year. Staff is including this cost in the proposed budget, Staff recognizes the significance of this endeavor, particularly the cost, in terms of the City's past practices of supplying water to the citizens of Lodi by relying on cheap, but exhaustible groundwater. While the cost may seem high now, our recommendation for approval is not about "now" rather it is for the future. FUNDING: Water Fund R R,,qh,,J C. Prim.Jr.ichard C.

The City of Lodi obtains its municipal water supply from wells located within the City, extracting the water .from the underground aquifer, which is replenished in part by flaws of the okelumne river. Lodi. desires to acquire a supplemental surface water supply to avoid being wholly depeDdent upon the kvells and the possible impacts of eventual overdraft of the groundwater Supply, b, Woodbridge.Irrigation District (District or WTD) is an irrigation district that is orgatzized. and existing wider Division l l of the California Water Cade (Sections 20,500 et seq). The District is located irsa Mediately west of the City of Lodi and immediately north of the City of Stockton. The District diverts water from the MokelumneRiver at Woodbridge loam, located its the NE 1/4 of the SE V4 of Section 34, Township 4 N, range b E, MDBM, for irrigation of a net area of 19,370.3 acres within a grass area of 40,441,77 acres and located within Townships 2 N, 3 N, 4 N and 5 N, Ranges 5 E, €a E and 7 E, MDBM. c, The DIstriet diverts its water supply from the .Mokelumne River under pre -1914 appropriative rights for the diversion of water up to 300 cubic feet per second (cfs). The District's pre -1.91.4 rights are overlapped by the District. License No. 5945 for the appropriation of 300 efs per, annum fronn February 1. to October 31 for irrigation use, supplemented by License Nig. 8214 for the diversion of ars additional 1.14.4 efs fronn May 1 to August 31 of each year and from November 1 of each year to Tanury 31 of the succeeding year. The combined rights under the two t icerises together with the .District6s pre -1914 rights are limited to a maximum diversion of 414.4 cfs. d, The district., following the East Bay Municipal Utility District's (EBMUD) building of the Pardee and Camanche Reservoirs on the Upper Mokelumne river, entered into Agreements with E.1 MUD in 1038 after Pardee's completion. and again in 1965 after the completion of Carnanche; wrhicb acknowledged the priority of some of the District rights to the E13 UD rights, and under which agreements EB.MUD releases a Regulated Base Supply of water each year from CQamanche Reservoir for diversion by the District at Woodbridge Dam for irrigation use. c, The District's demand for water from the Mokelurmne river under its water rights has began to diminish by reason of the District's water conservation programs, including the conversion of field furrow and flood irrigation methods of application to water applied by drip irrigation and micro -sprinklers, which reduce the amount of applied water for craps. Where has also been a reduction. in the delivery of irrigation water by reason of the number of irrigated acres being reduced as a result of urbanization of District lands. f. By reason of the anticipated reductions in water usage within the District, the District has determined that it will leve surplus water in certain amounts available aider its water entitlements from the okelun-me River, and the eater that would be delivered to the City by this Agreement is surplus to the current needs of the landowners and water users within the District as required by Section 22259 of the Water Code, The District's South Main Canal traverses the westerly portion of the City of Lodi, and the District could deliver water diverted from the Mokelumne lover € nder its water rights to Lodi at a mutually agreeable location along the District Canal System, g. ` he water is diverted by the District at Woodbridge Liam, with diversions being facilitated. during the inigation season by the installation of flashboards in the barn. The flashboards are removod after the end. of the irrigation season for Dam maintenance and Dam safety. When the flashboards are in place, water backs up into Lodi Lake and the City's Lodi Park Lake. The Lake is used i;or fishing, boating and recreational purposes by inhabitants of the City, and its presence during the summer months is an enhancement to the City's Lodi. Park. Labe. During the periods that the flashboards are not in the Dain, the lake level is lowered and its utility for fishing, recreation and boating is reduced, b. Because of its age, it is necessary For the District to replace the existing Woodbridge Diversion Darn in order to provide greater security and protection against dam failure. Tn doing so, and in reliance on this Agreement, the District intends, subject to any requirements of the Division of Safety of Dams, that the replacement dans structure will be designed and constructed so that water can be impounded behind the darn year round. The estimated cost for replacemetit of the Liam and appurtenances is approximately $20,000,000, ie The City of Lodi desires to contract with the District for the purchase of water from the District, for use within the City service area, for which the City will, pay on the basis and pursuant to the conditions hereinafter set forth. NOW, THERF RE, WOODBRIDGE IRRIGATION DISTRICT (DISTRICT[') .AND THE CITY OF LODI (CITE') AGREE ASFOLLOWS: I .
