American Canyon did the water math and found the numbers don t add up without securing additional supplies, not by a long shot.
The equation is simple: the city used 2,884 acre-feet last year and has 1,852-acre feet readily available this year amid a drought. Assuming water use remains the same, that s a 1,032 acre-foot deficit.
