American Canyon feels water pinch in the face of drought


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.
To fill the gap, the city will add another 1,040 acre-feet using Vallejo emergency permit water and supplies from state water transfer programs. But that leaves little margin for error and no carry-over supplies for 2022, a city report said.
