Submitted as Followups to September 13th Meeting

Sue Dadd

At our last meeting we noticed that the pie charts showed a significant drop in our use of groundwater with the consequential increase in imported MWD water.

I called Rubio Canyon and the guy there pointed out that this drop was accounted for by perchlorate pollution causing Lincoln Water to cease using groundwater at all (this will change with the new filtration system), and that contaminants in Las Flores' wells means that Las Flores must dilute their groundwater by 50% MWD water to comply with safety standards. So far Rubio Canyon has no contaminants and they are using 60% groundwater and importing 40% MWD water.
