<br />a. Type of organization, official name, the year formed, and the statutes under which
<br />the entity was formed. For private entities, a copy of the Articles of Incorporation a
<br />and By-laws should be appended to the report. ..
<br />b, For public entities, the number of customers, taps, etc, served, and current water
<br />usage, and future growth plans,
<br />c, For private entities, the number of members or shareholders and shares of stock
<br />outstanding or a description of other means of ownership, and current water
<br />delivery.
<br />d, A brief history of the sponsoring entity,
<br />e. Identification of revenue sources (existing service charges, tap fees, share
<br />assessments, etc,).
<br />f. A description of existing water supply facilities owned and/or operated by the
<br />entity,
<br />
<br />2.3 Water Riehts
<br />
<br />2,3.1 Water Availabilitv
<br />
<br />The Loan Feasibility Study should provide a detailed description and analysis of each
<br />water supply source to be utilized by the proposed project. (A brief description of existing
<br />sources may be adequate for projects that involve only rehabilitation of existing facilities),
<br />Each. source of supply should be described in terms of location, yield, extent of
<br />development, and water rights status, Maps and schematic diagrams should be included
<br />as a part of the description,
<br />
<br />tit
<br />
<br />For surface water sources, the description should include a numerical and graphical
<br />tabulation of annual flows and average monthly flows for the period of record on each
<br />stream. For groundwater sources, the source aquiferes) and the expected yields and
<br />reliability of wells should be identified. A complete tabulation of water rights for each
<br />surface water source should also be provided to include appropriation dates, adjudication
<br />dates, status of adjudication (absolute or conditional), and amounts decreed to direct flow
<br />or to storage, For groundwater sources, the status of well permits and history of use
<br />should be provided,
<br />
<br />For new water supply facilities or the expansion of existing facilities, an analysis of the
<br />expected yield of water supply sources should be included in the Loan Feasibility Study,
<br />The analysis should be performed in such a way as to take into account a reasonable range
<br />of variations in flow due to hydrologic and meteorological conditions as well as the
<br />operation ofthe water rights priority system,
<br />
<br />2.3.2 Water Supply Demands
<br />
<br />Existing and future water demands are analyzed, as well as the adequacy of water
<br />rights/existing yields, and water demand and availability are compared, Study area
<br />water demands are generally.estimated for a selected planning horizon or period of time, a
<br />Typically, a planning horizon should be at least as long as the CWCB loan period, ..
<br />Demands are estimated for the study planning horizon and compared with the yields of
<br />existing supplies, If the comparison indicates a water supply deficit at some point during
