Western (retail) and the retail water suppliers within Western's general service area are, to varying degrees, dependent upon Metropolitan for imported water supply. The following table summarizes the estimated impact of the Metropolitan board of directors-adopted (December 2014) WSAP process for the allocation of water supplies to Western's general service area during 10 levels of water supply shortage. The water supply available to Western is further allocated between the retail water suppliers in a fashion similar to the Metropolitan process.

FY 2014 Import Demand = 76,614 acre-feet. |
1. The total imported water available subject to change based on the certification of local production at the end of a fiscal year. |
2. Regional reduction level percentages are based on FY 2014 imported water demands, not the base period demands. The reduction levels also apply to the region as a whole, not to the individual retail agencies. |
Appendix B attached to the ordinance codified in this chapter includes an overview of Metropolitan's WSAP methodology for shortage allocations. Western will use a process similar to that of Metropolitan to allocate imported water supplies among the retail water agencies within Western's general service area. Agencies that purchased water in the Metropolitan base period (fiscal years 2012-13 and 2013-14) share in the allocation of imported water. These agencies include: Box Springs Mutual Water Company, the City of Corona Department of Water and Power, Eagle Valley Mutual Water Company, Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, Lee Lake Water District, Metropolitan, the City of Norco, Rancho California Water District, and Western Municipal Water District for its retail water service area. The following agencies within Western's general service area did not purchase imported water during Metropolitan's base period and, therefore, are not included in the allocation of imported water supplies: Home Gardens County Water District, Jurupa Community Services District, the City of Riverside Public Utilities, Riverside Highlands Water Company, and Rubidoux Community Services District.
The following table summarizes the estimated imported water supply available to the retail water suppliers within Western's general service area at each of Metropolitan's shortage levels 1 through 10. These values are estimates as the actual volumes of water available to each agency are dependent on the production of local supplies throughout Western's imported agency region and is reconciled at the completion of each fiscal year during which a Metropolitan water allocation is in place.
