1. No Water Allocation Increase Expected in July; Board Members Request Follow-Up Advocacy Update Staff reported Reclamation's forecast indicates no allocation updates are expected in July. San Luis Reservoir remains at approximately 546,000 acre feet (~135% of normal), and all CVP reservoirs are above 100% of average. Despite healthy storage levels, export pumping at Jones will be limited to roughly one unit through July due to high tidal events — including what San Francisco expects to be its highest July tide on record. Board members raised concerns over the disconnect between above-average storage and stagnant allocations, with multiple directors requesting a follow-up report next month on what the Water Authority is actively doing to advocate for additional allocations. A director stated plainly: "This is probably the most important thing we could advocate for among our agencies."
