Total irrigation water demand for the 2004-05 water year (October 1 to September 30) through December is 90 acre-feet including 78 acre-feet or 84 % of reclaimed water.  The total water demand year to date is 26 % below the 10-year average usage of 121 acre-feet and potable water usage of 12 acre-feet is 61% below the 10-year average of 31 acre-feet for this point of the water year.  Two attached charts show the total water and potable water usage recorded on a daily basis for November and December.  Four additional charts and a graph summarize total, reclaimed and potable water usage on a monthly basis for the 2003-04 water year and for the previous ten water years.

 

4.       RESIDENT  COMPLAINTS  &  REQUESTS:

 

Monterey Peninsula Country Club maintenance staff reported on December 29th water flowing out of a manhole located on the access road to the MPCC golf course maintenance facility off Mission Road.  The maintenance department responded immediately, cleared a stoppage in the manhole located at the intersection of Mission Road and Forest Lodge Road, observed approximately 200 gallons of sewage overflowed from a manhole on the MPCC access road to an area on the bank of Sawmill Gulch and cleaned the area.  The California Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board and the Monterey County Division of Environmental Health were notified.
