9 <br />Meteorological Variation and Climatic Clzange -The sustainable yield estimates calculated for <br />OWASA's existing and future raw water supply system were based on historic temperature and <br />streamflow records that reflect the natural variation and uncertainty characteristic of such <br />observations. Ta the extent that future weather conditions differ from the historic range - <br />reflecting,either short term variation'or longer term climatic changes -the yield of OWASA's <br />water supply system will differ from what has been projected. <br />We urge your staff and the EMC to consider these and other uncertainties as you evaluate <br />OWASA's and other requests. <br />Please consider this draft application as our preliminary request. We understand that OWASA <br />retains the right to make substantial changes in this application should the need arise prior to the <br />final application deadline currently scheduled for Apri12001. <br />if you ar your staff have any questions or need further information about the attached materials, <br />please feel free to contact me directly or Mr. Ed Holland, OWASA's Planning Director. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~~ <br />Ed Kerwin <br />Executive Director <br />attachments <br />cc: Mr. Sydney Paul Miller <br />OWASA Board of Directors <br />
