Historically Low Water at Lake Sonoma Points to Potentially Devastating Drought
CBS SF Bay Area 2 hrs ago Syndicated Local – CBS San Francisco
LAKE SONOMA (KPIX) Sonoma County is facing a historic drought after two dry winters and, on Tuesday, county supervisors are expected to proclaim a drought emergency.
“We’re looking, today, at the lowest level our reservoirs have ever been since they were built,” said Brad Sherwood, the spokesman at Sonoma Water.
Lake Sonoma is the primary water source for about 600,000 customers in Sonoma and northern Marin Counties.
Sherwood said the lake gets its water strictly from rainfall and nothing from snow melt.
