It is significant that every constituent <br />area produced more water during the past fiscal year than in any <br />previous year. Percentage gains ranged from a minimum of four <br />per cent for Burbank to a maximum of 16 per cent for Anaheim, <br />Fullerton, Long Beach, Pasadena and Santa Ana. Other percent- <br />age increases were Coastal Municipal Water District 13 per cent, <br />Glendale 12 per cent, San Marino 11 per cent, Beverly Hills 10 <br />per cent, Los Angeles and Compton nine per cent each, Santa <br />Monica seven per cent, and Torrance five per cent. The increase <br />fur all constituent areas was 57,89 cubic feet per second or 9,5 <br />per eent for the year. This gain is more ,than double the previous <br />year's gain of 25.16 cubic feet per second. <br />In the decade since 1935-36 the total water production of constit- <br />uent areas of the District has increased 52.5 per cent, with indi- <br />vidual increases running up to '371 per cent in the case of Burbank, <br />Compton 122, Fullerton 108, Long Beach 97, Glendale 67, and <br />Santa Ana 65 per cent. <br />Table 13 shows, for each constituent area, the amount of water <br />produced locally, the amount of water purchased from the District, <br />and the percentage of total for each, for the fiscal year 1945-46. <br />The use of softened Colorado River water, averaging 65,17. cubic <br />feet per second for the year, was 9.7 per cent of the total water <br />production for all cities, as compared to seven per cent for the pre- <br />vious year, and four per cent for 1943-44. Exclusive of Los An. <br />geles, the District supplied 52.2 per cent of the water demands of <br />the other 13 constituents, This compares with 27.4 per cent for <br />1944-45, <br /> <br />Rainfo/l. "t Los A1Igeles <br /> <br />Rainfall for the season at the Los Angeles station was 11.65 <br />inches, almost identical with last year's 11.59 inches and consider. <br />ably under the 69.year mean of 15.47 inches, The heaviest rain- <br />fall of the season as recorded at the Los Angeles station was 5,05 <br />inches in December 1945, followed by 3.66 in March 1946. <br />
