Thank you. State of California DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES California Natural Resources Agency CALIFORNIA STATE WATER PROJECT DWR 9625 (Rev. 3/12) Page 1 of 1 NOTICE TO STATE WATER PROJECT CONTRACTOR S Date: April 27, 2026 Number: 26-04 Subject: DWR Maintaining State Water Project Allocation at 30 Percent and Increasing North of Delta Allocation to 45 Percent From: ______________________________ John Yarbrough Deputy Director, State Water Project Department of Water Resources The Department of Water Resources (DWR) studies using the latest hydrologic data indicate a modest increase in water supply is available for those State Water Project (SWP) contractors that are located North of Delta (NOD) and have a contractual right to receive the NOD Allocation pursuant to their respective water supply contracts . Therefore, DWR is increasing the NOD Allocation from 40 percent to 45 percent while leaving the SWP allocation unchanged for all other SWP contractors. The approved allocated Annual Table A Amounts for 2026 are shown in Attachment A – 2026 SWP Allocation. To determine the available SWP water supplies, DWR considers various factors including SWP contractors’ 2026 carryover supplies and demands, existing storage in SWP conservation facilities, estimates of future runoff, near-term and seasonal climate forecasts, SWP operational, contractual, and regulatory requirements set forth in the Federal Endangered Species Act and California Endangered Species Act, and water rights obligations under the State Water Resources Control Board’s authority. DWR will develop updated water delivery schedules for this allocation by prorating schedules submitted by the SWP contractors with the NOD Allocation in October 2025 (as part of initial requests) or as revised with any subsequent updates. If an SWP contractor foresees any changes to their water delivery schedule, please communicate such changes to DWR in a timely manner. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at John.Yarbrough@water.ca.gov.
