NOTICE OF UNAVAILABILITY OF WATER AND NEED FOR IMMEDIATE CURTAILMENT FOR
THOSE DIVERTING WATER IN THE SACRAMENTO-SAN JOAQUIN WATERSHEDS AND DELTA
WITH A PRE-1914 APPROPRIATIVE CLAIM COMMENCING DURING OR AFTER 1903

 

The State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) is issuing
curtailment notices to pre-1914 appropriative claims commencing during or
after 1903 within the Sacramento-San Joaquin River watershed and Delta until
further notice.   The State Water Board has been monitoring diversion
records and flow conditions within the Sacramento-San Joaquin River
watershed and Delta.  Due to limited precipitation and snowpack runoff, the
current flows are insufficient to satisfy all diversion demands under senior
rights.

 

The pre-1914 curtailment notice can be viewed at:

er_availability.shtml>
http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/waterrights/water_issues/programs/drought/wate
r_availability.shtml

 

If you are subject to another curtailment for the same water right, the most
restrictive curtailment applies.  Should a curtailment be lifted in the
future under a notice or order, the other curtailment condition remains in
effect until notified otherwise.  If you have any questions, please contact
our Curtailment Hotline at (916) 341-5342.

 

Compliance Certification Required:

Curtailed water rights are required to document receipt of this notice by
completing an online Curtailment Certification Form (Form) within seven
days.  The Form confirms cessation of your diversion under the specific
water right identified and, if applicable, identifies the alternate water
supply to be used in lieu of the curtailed water right.  You are required to
complete the Form for each of your water rights identified through this
curtailment at:

ailment/2015curt_form.php>
http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/waterrights/water_issues/programs/ewrims/curta
ilment/2015curt_form.php

 

The State Water Board will continue to monitor diversion demands, weather
forecasts and stream gages. Please monitor your email and State Water Board
Drought Year Water Actions website for further updates on when diversions
may be authorized.  If an email list notice is issued on the weekend, the
website will not be updated until the following Monday due to service
limitations.
