However, if lllprogramsanand projects which are now in progress can be maintained on schedule, the City will be able to meet all of � C r its 1990 water demands. �rr1��ti Water Agreement Water production Superintendent Michael L. Huffstutler presented copies of an �1 existing and a proposed agreement between the City of San Bernardino and San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District. The intent of the Agreements appears to be that the SBVMWD will participate with the engineering and financing (by `Y`rt j, grant and by loan) in the construction of facilities to be owned and operated by �I the City of San Bernardino for the express purpose of lowering groundwater levels in the high groundwater area of the Bunker Hill Basin. Item No. 5 of the existing ' P Agreement provides some protection for downstream users, but does not offer any ,j1; plan for upstream pumpers who will be impacted by increased pumping in the "pressure zone." Since the SBVMWD does not have a groundwater recharge policy or plan in effect to protect upstream pumpers, the implementation of an agreement of this nature, funded by SBVMWD water sales or the ad valorem tax is not in the best interest of the upstream pumpers. Mr. Huffstutler reported that SBVMWD extended the existing agreement to 1997 at a meeting on Monday.
