1 F. n 1 GENERAL EIR STATEMENTS FOR DOMESTIC WATER (Revision - 518196) �1 Note: The following statements are intended to be general in nature and typical for all proposed new developments requiring water service by the City of Stockton. The author shall supplement these r statements with any others as necessary to accurately reflect specific conditions, requirements, and/or environmental impacts resulting from the proposed project. Statistics provided are as of March.1996. 4 DOMESTIC WATER f Water Sup121y Providers rPotable water for the Stockton Metropolitan Area is provided by three water suppliers. These suppliers are: 1) the City of Stockton Water Utility (City); 2) the California Water Service Company (Cal Water) and; 3) the County of San Joaquin (County) through County Maintenance Districts. The Stockton East F. Water District (SEWD) supplies treated surface water to the City, Cal Water, and the County under a four parry wholesale water supply agreement. The City serves more than 28,000 connections within the City of Stockton; Cal Water serves more than 40,000 connections of which approximately 10,950 are outside of the City limits; and the County Maintenance Districts serve approximately 2,387 unmetered connections, primarily in the Lincoln Village and Colonial Heights subdivisions. All City and Cal Water services are metered. In 1995, the City supplied 42% of the total water used in the metropolitan area, while Cal Water F, supplied 56% and the County's Maintenance Districts supplied 2%. The City of Stockton Water Utility provides water service to a population of approximately 90,000 in the City of Stockton and 1,000 in unincorporated portions of the Stockton urban area. The Utility operates two major water systems within the City, one serving an area in North,Stockton and another serving South Stockton. The City also provides water service in a small service area which includes the Diamond Walnut Plant in South Central Stockton. Summary of Water Supply ourc Domestic water would be provided to the proposed project by the City of Stockton's Water Utility. The sources of domestic water available to the City of Stockton to serve the development include groundwater acid surface water. Historically, prior to the execution of the second ammended contract between SEWD, San Joaquin County, Cal-Water, and the City, the City received less than 5% of its water from surface water supply sources. Subsequent to that ammendment, the City's surface water allocation has gradually increased such that it now comprises approximately 30-40% of the water provided to customers by the City of Stockton. The other 60-70% is produced by City-owned wells from the groundwater basin. Over the past two years, because of exceptional amounts of precipitation provided in the winter months, surface water has been more abundant and comprised the majority of the water supply distributed by the City. F', Surface and groundwater are used conjunctively by the urban area water purveyors. 3 F 1 +j 'i f
