ITEM 11 (602-01 #1423)
SAN DIEGO COUNTY WATER AUTHORITY
EMERGENCY STORAGE PROJECT
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. In 1970, the Poway Municipal Water District
commenced the construction of a dam across Warren Canyon that ultimately resulted in
Lake Poway when it was completed. Lake Poway provides 3,200 acre feet of storage
7OO8
Page 8 - CITY OF POWAY - August 15, 2000
for emergency purposes. During the past 30 years, there have been no significant
emergency storage reservoirs constructed south of the Elsinore Fault to offset the
enormous growth experienced in San Diego County. While the new Diamond Valley Lake
provides general protection for Southern California, it is the opinion of the San Diego
County Water Authority that an earthquake along the Elsinore Fault could cut the County
off from imported water for two months. While storage within Lake Poway would most
likely meet two months of water needs during the time earthquake-related repairs are
made, any delays could exceed that capacity.
In 1992, the Ramona Municipal Water District approached the City requesting
consideration of a plan that would have Poway provide emergency treated water in
exchange for emergency storage capacity in Lake Ramona. In April 1992, both agencies
approved a ten-year cooperative agreement that Poway would treat up to 4 million gallons
per day of water during aqueduct shutdown periods and in turn would have 1,000 acre
feet of storage available in Lake Ramona when filled. While Poway has occasionally
treated water for Ramona during the past eight years, Lake Ramona has yet to be filled.
However, had Lake Ramona been filled, water stored there would not have been available
to Poway in an emergency. This is because an anticipated connection from the Lake to
pipes that could serve Poway, as well as a pressure reducing station, have never been
constructed. In summary, Lake Ramona is not a viable emergency storage alternative.
In the meantime, the San Diego County Water Authority has been working on a major
Emergency Storage Project (ESP) which will provide 90,100 acre feet of water. This
project provides for the construction of the Olivenhain Reservoir, reoperation of Lake
Hodges, and expansion of the San Vicente Reservoir. As a member of the County Water
Authority, Poway would help pay for the project and would receive additional storage
benefits. Since the financing of the Emergency Storage Project is based upon known
member participation, the County Water Authority has established a process and criteria
that would permit an Agency to opt out of the program. Only the Ramona Municipal Water
District has chosen that option.
In conclusion, in order to be able to provide the best availability of water during an
emergency, Poway must participate in the ESP and confirm that participation by approving
the Memorandum of Understanding subject to final review by the City Attorney. Further,
since the Ramona Municipal Water District will not be a part of the ESP and has not
fulfilled the terms of the 1992 cooperative agreement, they should be given a one-year
termination notice.
The following people were present wishing to speak:

Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Goldby, to approve the

Higginson and Mayor Cafagna absent.
ITEM 12 (1141-10)
COMPACT PARKING SPACES REPORT
SOUTH POWAY BUSINESS PARK
SOUTH POWAY DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
At the March 21, 2000 meeting, the Council requested a report on the use of compact
parking spaces in the South Poway Specific Plan Area and how to rescind the
development standard. Compact spaces are allowed only on properties designated
Industrial Park and Light Industrial. In order to rescind this development standard, a
Specific Plan Amendment must be initiated.
Motion by Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Emery, seconded by Councilmember Rexford, to initiate
an amendment to the South Poway Specific Plan to delete compact parking spaces.
Motion carried 3-0 with Deputy Mayor Higginson and Mayor Cafagna absent.
