City of Everett Water Supply December 2008 Everett Public Works
Everett’s Water Source Storage • Spada Reservoir (50 billion gallons) with Culmback Dam in the forefront
Everett’s Water Source Storage • Lake Chaplain Reservoir (4.5 billion gallons)
Sultan River – Water Supply ChronologyCity of Everett & Snohomish PUD • 1917 – 1st Water Right & Diversion Dam #1 • 1924 – 2nd Water Right Application • 1929 – 3rd & 4th Water Right & Diversion Dam #2 • 1946 – Storage Right Application #1 (113,700 Ac-Ft) • 1954 – 5th Water Right Application • 1959 – City/PUD Agreement to share water rights • 1960 – Build Culmback Dam – Phase I • 1979 – Storage Right Application #2 (153,260 Ac-Ft) • 1982 – Build Culmback Dam – Phase II • 1982 – Instream Flows Set For Project
Everett’s Water Supply and Rights Supply Yield • Firm Yield = Avg. Annual Withdrawal Available 98% of Years • Firm Yield of Sultan Source = 200 MGD With Existing Storage Water Rights • Existing Water Rights on Sultan =137.5 MGD (QA); 256 MGD (QI) • Pending Water Right Application: QI = 200 cfs; if QA = 100 CFS = 64.5 MGD (Est. QA) 202 MGD
Climate Change Models General Circulation Models (GCM) Warmest (Pessimistic) Warmer Warm (Optimistic)
Three Scenarios Three operational scenarios were evaluated: • Unconstrained Yield (Storage: 153,000 AC-FT) • Yield Constrained by Transmission Upstream of Chaplain Reservoir (Storage: 153,000 AC-FT) • Yield Constrained by Hydropower Operations and Spada Minimum Surface Elevation of 1,380 ft (Storage: 101,000 AC-FT)
6 - 13 % reduction Spada Lake Firm Yield Results 24 – 37 % reduction 30 - 50 % reduction
2062 2028 Comparison of Existing Conditions and Projected Demand 20 Years on Existing Right; 50+ Years on New Right Climate Change Impact: 6 - 13 % reduction by Yr 2100
Summary of Climate Impact on Water Supply • No Impact on Existing Water Right – Good for next 20 years • Firm Yield would be Reduced 6 – 13% by 2100 • Modification of SPADA Rule Curves would probably offset some of this impact (To be determined in future studies)
