Prepared By: Joseph Zoba, General Manager
Subject: Ratification of the Acceptance of Overlying Water Rights in the Beaumont
Basin for Tract No. 32702-3 (80 lots) Pursuant to Beaumont Basin
Watermaster Resolution No. 2017-02
Recommendation: That the Board accepts the transfer of 29.57 acre-feet of overlying water
rights in the Beaumont Basin from Oak Valley Partners to Yucaipa Valley
Water District as overlying-appropriative water rights in the Beaumont
Basin.
On August 30, 2017, the Beaumont Basin Watermaster adopted Resolution No. 2017-02
Approving the Transfer of Overlying Water Rights to Specific Parcels - Oak Valley Partners. This
resolution approved the transfer of all overlying water rights from Oak Valley Partners to parcels
within the service area of the Yucaipa Valley Water District.
The attached correspondence dated September 26, 2018 will transfer 29.57 acre-feet of the Oak
Valley overlying water rights to Tract No. 32702-3 (80 lots). This transfer of overlying water rights
is anticipated to be sufficient for 80 residential, dual-plumbed dwelling units.
The transfer of overlying water rights to appropriative water rights allows the Yucaipa Valley Water
District to utilize this groundwater resource within our service area conditioned upon the
guarantee of sufficient water supplies for the proposed development.
