The agreements approved by these two Southern California water agencies commit funds to the environmental review and also provide the agencies with options to acquire both a firm annual supply of water conserved by the Project and storage rights in the Project once the environmental review is complete. Pursuant to the agreements, each agency has the right to acquire 5,000 acre-feet of water and Santa Margarita has a further option for an additional 10,000 acre-feet of water all at a pre-determined price formula. The pricing for storage, also set out in the agreements, is based on volume and class of delivery acquired.
