A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

TRANSFER AGREEMENTS
WHEREAS, The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan), comprised of
27 member agencies, is the primary wholesale provider of imported water for the Southern California region;
and
WHEREAS, Metropolitan has helped ensure Southern California growth and prosperity for 68 years
by providing a growing population that now measures 16.5 million with a continuous supply of safe, reliable,
and affordable water; and
WHEREAS, Metropolitan and its member agencies developed, with full public participation, the
Integrated Resources Plan (IRP) to meet future water needs in Southern California, which includes
provisions for encouraging water conservation and developing new sources of water, including water transfer
agreements; and
WHEREAS, The Metropolitan Board of Directors has adopted ten principles to guide the agency's
decisions for all water transfer agreements that require the use of Metropolitan's water delivery
infrastructure to transport water supplies (wheeling); and
WHEREAS, the ten principles ensure that all communities are protected by a water transfer policy
that is fair to all users and will not benefit one community over another; and
WHEREAS, the ten principles ensure that with regard to water quality, costs, or reliability, no harm
will come to Metropolitan member agencies not participating in a water transfer agreement; and
WHEREAS, the San Diego County Water Authority and the Imperial Irrigation District are seeking a
water transfer that includes transporting water through Metropolitan's Colorado River Aqueduct.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Moorpark supports
Metropolitan's efforts to negotiate a water transfer agreement with SDCWA that protects water rates, water
reliability, and water quality for every Member Agency.
