The State listened to CCWD’s concerns, and in early 2016 CCWD was able to reach a settlement agreement with the State that protects drinking water quality for CCWD customers should a Delta conveyance project be implemented in the future. See more about CCWD’s Settlement Agreement below and review CCWD’s engagement timeline throughout BDCP/CWF development.Īs of 2019, Governor Newsom directed State Agencies to prepare a Water Resilience Portfolio to address California’s water needs, including modernized Delta Conveyance. Other CCWD concerns focused on federal financing and contract supply allocation, as CCWD is a Central Valley Project (CVP) contractor, were communicated to federal agencies. The BDCP evolved over the years into the California WaterFix (CWF), or the “twin tunnels.” This proposed project by state officials would have constructed additional intake and conveyance facilities to transport water from the Delta to other parts of the state.įrom the beginning, CCWD communicated concerns to the State about potential impacts to water quality and potential impacts of CWF construction on CCWD’s facilities in various public settings. CCWD provided constructive input throughout the development of the BDCP and evaluated how proposed projects may impact local facilities and operations.
In 2006, the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) was proposed, with the stated intent of reducing the impacts of exporting water from the Delta.
