to 200 acre feet and an additional 500 acre feet as needed for emergency conditions. The
original recommendation was 250 and 750. However, staff believes the revised

ATTACHMENT 1
ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE
Your "YES" vote on Measure - will authorize the City of Arroyo Grande to
purchase a limited amount of State water to continue to meet the needs of its
customers in the most cost effective manner. Projections indicate the City will
require approximately 400 acre feet of additional water to meet the needs of its
buildout population under the existing General Plan. The City uses all the Lopez
water it is legally entitled to and a court order prevents the City from pumping
additional groundwater. 'This measure is not intended to acquire water to
accommodate any growth not currently allowed or planned for.
State water represents the most cost effective approach available to obtain
additional water. The City's objective is to structure a purchase that will have
minimal impact on customers' water rates.
State water is a reliable source even in droughts because the County has excess
supply that is available to compensate for periodic reductions in deliveries from
the State. Since the City currently has only two sources of water, this will help
diversify our water supply. Conservation and other efforts are still proposed to
address the 400 acre feet needed, but given the uncertainties involving water
resources, it is dangerous to rely solely on conservation to meet the City's needs.
This will also provide the critical authorization needed to purchase emergency
water if ever needed to replace the potential loss of existing supply due to
drought or other emergency conditions.
The City has worked hard to make available the water needed to serve its
customers, but supply is restricted and options are limited. Your City Council
unanimously urges you to take the steps necessary to help ensure it can
continue to meet these needs in the future in a cost effective manner by voting
"YES" on Measure -.
