The Lompoc Record from Lompoc, California • 3

irnnmpi. i 111)1 ffTTTl I TTTTTTTrrtm I Friday, April 12, 1991 LOMPOC RECORD (Lompoc, Calif.) A3 AboutTown Water rationing rules may be eased to water their lawns this week for -the first time in many months under a new, 20-percent voluntary rationing plan. The Marin County Municipal Water District's mandatory 50-gal-Ion-per-day water rationing plan, implemented only last month, ended Thursday. The East Bay Municipal Utility District scrapped plans for a 25-percent1 cutback, but held to their 15 percent water rationing plan. The Santa Clara Valley Water District, supplier of San Jose and large users, changed from proposed 45-percent mandatory rationing to 25 percent mandatory cutbacks.

San Francisco officials will go before the state Public Utilities Commission on April 23 to ask for approval to ease mandatory 25 percent water cutbacks. It seemed the five-year drought was over when an official with the Staff and wire reports SACRAMENTO You'd think it had never been greener in California. In some areas of the state, the taps are being turned on. However, in Lompoc the City Council Tuesday will consider establishing a 20 percent voluntary conservation program, with the base levels determined by 1989 figures. In addition, it will be suggested that city staff continue public education and information programs to help achieve the goal During the past year, city residents were successful in exceeding the 10 percent voluntary cutback requested by the council.

The new action is designed to continue a drought-awareness in the community despite the rains of March. Other areas have decided to lighten the. load of water rationing, such as: Santa Barbara residents began state Department of Water Resources called it "an entire winter in March." But the drought is far from over. "California continues to experience the second longest and potentially most severe drought in this century," said Doug Priest, manager of the state Department of Water Resources drought center. Consider the following: The Sacramento River watershed runoff, all-important to large water users, is expected to be half of normal.

Runoff was projected at 9.1 trillion acrefeet for the water year; in an average water year, Oct 1 to Sept. 30, 18.9 million acre-feet runs into the Sacramento River, Priest said. This year's runoff is still so low it's classed as critical, Priest said. State water deliveries now stand at 20 percent for urban users and zero for agriculture. Larry Mullnix, deputy DWR director for State Water Project operations, said there is a slight chance of an increase to 35 percent deliveries to urban users in May "if we have a-' wet April.

But so far that hasn't happened." Under state contracts, no water may be delivered to agriculture until urban users get more than 50 percent of their requests. "Every community and district is a different situation," added Bob Fingado, who works at the DWR drought center. "We're now in the i process oi analyzing jusi wnai eacn might be doing with rationing On the other hand, Central and Southern Californians from Monterey to Los Angeles are rejoicing with some reservoirs brimming at 105 percent of average storage, rationing eased in nearly every central ana sown coast town, depending upon ground water, reservoirs hoosted to 60 nereent of average statewide, and places like Goleta deciding against spending millions to import water from Canada.

SANTA MARIA Five Lompoc area people were among 16 honors full-time students and nine faculty and staff members from Allan Hancock who were treated to a spectacular volcanic eruption and molten lava show in the area south of Hilo near Kalapana Beach. The five were Barrett Blose, Ruth Cruz, Robert Johnston, Melis- sa Miller and Aimee Powers. With geology instructor Bob Bell, they spent spring break week on the "big island" of Hawaii. Bell said the volcanic display coincided with the group's visit, presenting afternoon and evening spectacles of lava pouring into the ocean, raising steam and lava bombs exploding on the cliffsides, creating new black sand beaches. Kalapana Beach, the famous black sand beach, was destroyed last summer, Bell said, and is covered by hardened lava.

But he said new black sand beaches are forming a couple miles west Lompoc Record Correction Policy As a matter of policy, The Lompoc Record will publish corrections of errors in fact that have beenl printed In the newspaper.
