Despite a wetter-than-average winter, California's East Bay area is experiencing slightly drier conditions recently, but reservoir levels remain healthy. EBMUD reports Pardee Reservoir's capacity at 91% and the overall system at 84%, both near historical averages. This stability means there are no immediate drought concerns, so no conservation restrictions are in place. However, climate change may threaten water supply in the future, pushing drought scenarios into more severe territory. All customers are reminded to use water responsibly to ensure this stability continues.
The wet half of the year in the Bay Area included a drenching fall atmospheric river, but the water supply remains solid despite slight dryness.
Reservoir levels, including Pardee Reservoir, are at or above historic averages, allowing the East Bay to avoid drought conservation measures.
While California's water scenario is improving now, the changing climate is expected to make future water shortages more severe.
EBMUD advises all customers to use water wisely, as maintaining healthy reservoir levels is important despite current adequate supply.
