Temporary Water Transfer from Sugar Pine Reservoir

The Foresthill Public Utility District is projecting a temporary water transfer of 2,000 acre-feet of stored water from Sugar Pine Reservoir to contractors of the Central Valley Project and/or the State Water Project, with the water destined for regions south of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. This transfer is intended as a short-term operational measure to support water supply needs in designated areas, leveraging existing reservoir storage to address regional demands without altering long-term water rights or infrastructure. The project is not yet active but has been formally forecasted with a posted date of June 29, 2026, indicating its anticipated timing and planning phase. All activities related to this transfer will occur in California, with the Foresthill Public Utility District serving as the responsible agency overseeing the release and coordination of water. The General Manager, Henry N. White, is the primary point of contact, reachable via email and phone for inquiries or further details. The project remains in the forecasting stage, with no formal solicitation number, set-aside classification, or NAICS code assigned at this time, suggesting preliminary planning with potential for future contract development. The official project link provides access to additional regulatory and environmental documentation through the CEQA Net system.
