The point of diversion was not changed, the use was not changed nor was <br />the point of usage changed. The water rights deeded (American Tunnel Pipeline - 0.27cfs <br />- adjudication date 12/31 /1978) carry a use of domestic and industrial. SGC does not <br />believe any other action is required or issues exist since nothing has changed with these <br />water rights except ownership and past use was appropriate for their decree. <br />Please contact me if the above does not satisfactorily address the water rights issue raised <br />by DWR. <br />Sincerely, <br />~-`~ <br />Larry Perino <br />Reclamation Manager <br />
