Some winter weather has made its way to San Diego, bringing wind, rain and snow to parts of the region. But as meteorologist Alex Tardy puts it, “It’s just a drop in the bucket,” when it comes to drought and diminishing water supplies.
Californians are being asked to conserve water as reservoirs run low and demand exceeds a supply stressed by climate change.
San Diegans find themselves in an advantageous situation, compared to most other residents statewide. “So we have eight different sources of water here in San Diego, other parts of the state may be limited to one,” San Diego County Water Authority water resources manager Jeff Stephenson said. “At this point we do not have any water shortages in San Diego. That being said, we do continue to encourage water conservation, water use efficiency and all those sorts of practices because water is such a precious resource,” Stephenson said.reminded residents that San Marcos and surrounding areas in North County are restricting outdoor irrigation from three days a week to two days through next May.“Here in San Diego, water prices have increased over time, just like everything in the world.
