The North Bay drought picture has markedly improved over the past few weeks. In Marin County, reservoirs are at capacity.
SAN RAFAEL -- The North Bay drought picture has markedly improved over the past few weeks. In Marin County, reservoirs are at capacity but, for many, it won't change their efforts to conserve."Crazy!" said Nastassja Martinez."I've only lived here for three years and I've never seen weather like this."
Haight, like many others, is glad to hear drought conditions have improved with the recent onslaught of wet weather. For the last few years, she tried to conserve. She turned the water on and off during her showers. Now that the reservoirs are full, Haight said"I would like a hot bath. A bubble bath. Just soak."This atmospheric river storm sequence is what many water districts have been hoping to see for years.
While supply was low, Martens says customers did an incredible job of cutting back water usage by 25 percent last year. Marin Water will continue to ask residents to follow its restrictions to prepare for future drought conditions.
