The current order requires Cal Am to cut pumping from the river by about two-thirds

Monterey Peninsula water officials expect to publicly release a final proposal for extending the deadline for pumping cutbacks on the Carmel River by four years.
The proposal calls for Cal Am to secure a desal project permit from the state Public Utilities Commission by September 2017, start construction on the desal plant or the groundwater replenishment project by September 2018, and begin providing a new water source by the end of 2020.
