0 1W P.O. Box 1596 Patterson,CA 95363-1596 • Phone(209) 892-4470 •Fax (209) 892-4469 August 9, 2011 San Joaquin County Community Development Department Development Services Division Attn: Rick Griffin 1810 East Hazelton Avenue Stockton, CA 95205 Re: Major Subdivision Application No. PA-1100136 (SU) — Carl & Annamae Navarra, Trust - APN 255-170-01 Dear Mr. Griffin: These comments are submitted on behalf of the New Del Puerto Water District ("District"). The District provides agricultural water service to the above referenced parcel, 255-170- 01, which is located within its boundaries. Parcel 255-170-10, which is not listed in the referral but also appears to be involved in the application, is not located within District boundaries. The District delivers water supplies to eligible lands within its boundaries through canalside turnouts located on the Delta-Mendota Canal that are licensed for this purpose. These turnouts are designed to serve areas of the District that do not necessarily coincide with defined parcels and often involve several landowners and several separate or shared delivery systems that are privately owned, operated and maintained. The District does not own, operate or maintain any distribution systems for delivery of available water supplies beyond its canalside points of delivery. Landowners involved in parcel splits or subdivisions are advised that easements and/or shared delivery system agreements required to provide access across intervening property(ies) to the existing point of delivery must be in place at the time of the proposed action in order to ensure continuing access to District allocated water supplies. One other noteworthy item with regard to this application has to do with the District's contractual requirement to separately meter water deliveries to all its water users. Insofar as the granting of this application would result in the creation of numerous saleable parcels, each in need of water service from the District, the Board of Directors has determined and the applicant should be advised that any and all additional metering sites required as a result of this and any future parcel splits are to be designed, equipped, installed and maintained in accordance with District requirements at individual landowner expense.
