SUBJECT: Consider Fox Canyon Groundwater Management
Report
On August 24, 1990, the Groundwater Management Authority
Board of Directors approved Ordinance 5, an ordinance to
reduce groundwater extractions, in an effort to discourage
waste in irrigation. This ordinance is directed to the users
of water for agricultural purposes.
The purpose and intent of Ordinance 5 is to eliminate
overdraft from the aquifer systems within the boundaries of
the Agency and bring the groundwater basins to safe yield by
the year 2010.
Staff spoke with Mr. Rick Farnsworth of the Groundwater
Management Agency who stated Ordinance 5 only applies to
agencies/persons extracting water for agricultural purposes.
Currently, the City is leasing Arroyo Vista Community Park to
the Fedelety Corporation, and Mr. Fedele has been notified by
Mr. Farnsworth that he must comply with the ordinance. Mr.
Farnsworth further indicated the use of water from the
aquifer for future irrigation of the turf of the Community
Park would not be applicable to the City under Ordinance 5.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file the report.
