State and local water agencies say this week's wet weather is not enough to alleviate the severe drought conditions facing California.
Water agency officials statewide met Thursday to talk about the message the needs to go out to consumers after the driest winter on record.
"We have the sierra snow pack at the fifth-lowest level that it's ever been," said Rick Callender, CEO of the Santa Clara Valley Water District, which has already called for 2-day per week limits on outdoor irrigation."Ninety percent of our water supplies comes from the Sierra Nevada foothills and systemwide across all of the reservoirs, they're full 70%," said Tracie Morales, an EBMUD spokeswoman.
"When we bring in those additional water sources that means more expenses so that's what drought surcharges could potentially cover," said Morales."Having it come at the time when the snow's melting, to really help that water get into the streams and move down to the reservoirs is a really good thing. That was absent last year," said Michael Anderson, State Climatologist with the California Department of Water Resources.
"Wanting to have a nice place outside, I wanted to make sure I'm doing it responsibly," said Christie Pollet-Young of Oakland.
