Well Level Summaries & Charts

The Water Department measures well levels twice a month with all wells (production and monitoring) read at the start of each month.

Status of Supply as a % of Normal

When reviewing the status of shortage indicators, it is important to keep in mind that the significance of any given indicator can vary depending on time of year and Water Department operations. During the wet season, the San Simeon indicators (gradient and SS wells) are weighted heavily due to it being the CCSD's primary source of water. Similarly, the Santa Rosa indicators (SR4, WBE, and WBW) are not considered in the short-term shortage analysis performed by staff, as this source is supplemental until the start of the dry season.

For more information on staff's water supply analysis, please refer to the Utilities Report included in the second Board of Directors agenda packet each month.

Diversion Summary Reports

The Water Department monitors and records gross water diversions from the CCSD's two groundwater aquifers each day. Water diversions include process water, riparian water, and water distributed to customers for consumption.

Annual Water Loss Audits

The CCSD is required to complete annual water loss audits which are then validated by a third-party to ensure accurate analysis of all metrics. Water loss is unavoidable in the production and distribution process, but it can be minimized to the best extent possible. Annual audits measure the CCSD's progress in implementing best practices to reduce avoidable losses.
