Subject: Charges for the Central Valley Project (CVP) Restoration Fund, Central Valley 

Improvement Act (CVPIA), Public Law 102-575

Dear Water Contractor:

This letter provides notification of the CVP Restoration Fund charge/surcharge amounts for 

Fiscal Year 2024 (FY 2024) beginning October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024. The FY 

2024 amounts for mitigation and restoration charges, Friant surcharges, and Municipal and 

Industrial (M&I) surcharges are detailed here.

• The mitigation and restoration charges for FY 2024 are $13.00 and $25.99 per acre-foot of sold 

and delivered CVP agricultural and M&I water, respectively. Mitigation and restoration 

charges are assessed on all sold agricultural and M&I water delivered to the contractor or any 

approved transferee(s) receiving CVP water pursuant to the contractor's entitlement. The 

requirement to pay mitigation and restoration charges is the sole responsibility of the water 

contractor and may not be delegated to a transferee.

• The Friant Surcharge paid by Friant Division water contractors on delivered CVP water will 

remain at $7.00 per acre-foot. 

• (The reduction prescribed in the San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement Act will be a 

$3.00 per acre-foot reduction to the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) rate paid by 

Friant Division water contractors).

• The M&I surcharge will be $54.15 per acre-foot for CVP water delivered to water contractors 

that are subject to this charge.

These charges are payable to the Bureau of Reclamation before the end of the month following 

the month of delivery and must be consistent with the quantities of agricultural and M&I water 

deliveries as shown in Reclamation's monthly water statement. Past due payments will be 

assessed delinquent charges according to the Debt Collection Act of 1982.
