Raymond Basin Management Board

As much as 1,500,000 acre feet of water can be collected in this underground water table. This amount is staggering, when you consider that just one acre foot is about 326,000 gallons, or enough to serve two average families for one year. From this underwater supply, water is pumped by 16 different water purveyors to serve customers’ daily needs throughout the area. For many of the overlying communities, The Raymond Basin is their principal water supply.
