After two exceptionally dry California winters, the East Bay Municipal Utility District is on the brink of declaring a stage 1 drought and asking customers to establish a district-wide voluntary water use reduction of 10 percent.
The utility district s board of directors is meeting Tuesday night and district staff members will present the 2021 Water Supply Availability and Deficiency Report and make the recommendation.
EBMUD s water supply is dependent on a series of reservoirs, aqueducts, treatment plants and distribution plants fed by Sierra snowmelt above the Mokelumne River.
EBMUD Board Expected to Officially Declare Stage 1 Drought on Tuesday
