Transfer of Dudley Ridge Water District’s State Water Project Table A Water to Santa Clara Valley Water District (SWP #25019)

Agreement SWP #25019 facilitates a non-permanent transfer of 500 acre-feet of 2025 Table A water from the Dudley Ridge Water District to the Santa Clara Valley Water District. This transfer is conducted by Dudley Ridge on behalf of landowner Westside Agriculture LLC and is scheduled for completion by December 31, 2025, for use within the Santa Clara service area. The delivery will utilize existing State Water Project infrastructure, specifically through Reach 9 of the South Bay Aqueduct. The California Department of Water Resources oversees the agreement, with Molly White and Patrick Luzuriaga serving as key administrative contacts. Because the transfer relies on existing facilities and requires no new construction or land use changes, the project is categorized as exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 and may also be exempt under California Water Code Section 1729. The agreement is a state-level water allocation transfer and does not follow federal procurement regulations, meaning there are no associated FAR clauses, federal pricing structures, or socioeconomic set-asides.
