RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF CHULA VISTA EXPRESSING ITS
CONCERN REGARDING WATER FOR THE OTAY
WATER DISTRICT
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, the Otay Water District has been experiencing
rapid population growth within its District boundaries; and
WHEREAS, the Otay Water District has limited and
inadequate water storage capacity and a limited water supply; and
WHEREAS, on April 19, 1989, the Otay Water District
Board of Directors adopted a "Report on Allocation of Water
Requests Based on Water Availability;" and
WHEREAS, the Report states that the District's
anticipated peak week demand of 25.6 million gallons per day
could exceed the present County Water Authority allocation of
24.6 million gallons per day; and that this concern is
~otwithstanding the 8 million gallons and 5 million gallons of
~erating reservoir storage added to the Central Area (Chula
Vista) since 1988; and that the above condition could occur
during the summer of 1989; and
WHEREAS, the Report states that there may be some
question as to whether or not the County Water Authority can
continuously deliver 24.6 million gallons per day to the
District; and
WHEREAS, the ability of the Otay Water District to add
significant water storage capacity will not occur before the
summer of 1991;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Chula Vista does hereby adopt a statement of concern
regarding water for the Otay Water District.
