Description

The objective of this project was to identify and describe projects that the Los Moiinos Mutual Water

Company (LMMWC) can implement to improve water use efficiency. The plan includes project-specific

information describing site-specific project components and associated costs and expected water savings. The plan includes an overview of LMMWCs northside service area (267 acres), a water balance analysis to quantify conservation opportunities and project descriptions.

Project Benefit

By improving water quantity there will be more upstream access for Coho and Steelhead during low flow periods.

Description and scope of the plan implemented

5.8 Northern Sierra Nevada Diversity Group Recovery Actions 5.8.2 Mill Creek Recovery Actions MIC 1.3: Develop and implement instream flow agreements with Mill Creek diverters designed to provide flows that best support the life stages of spring-run Chinook salmon and steelhead that occur in the flow control reach (i.e. downstream of Upper Diversion to the confluence with the Sacramento River). The agreements can include approaches such as groundwater exchange, water leases, acquiring water rights and other water management options.
