We've got an update on our water supply. Cheesman Reservoir is down to 67% of capacity due to the ongoing drought and last winter's record low snowpack. It's now down 33.5 feet! Now that it's September, remember that your grass doesn't need as much water, so you can shorten your sprinkler run times to help reduce the demand on our reservoirs. Cheesman is expected to fall to 54-61% of capacity by next spring so please Use Only What You Need!
