Supply Status Winter Update - Reservoirs remain above average levels

The total water storage in Marin Water’s seven drinking water reservoirs remains well above average for this time of year, and recent and forecasted rainstorms will likely help continue that trend. Marin Water has been able to maintain high local storage levels the past two years primarily from receiving above average rainfall in both the 2023 and 2024 water years, combined with conservation and operational strategies put in place to bolster the District’s water supply resiliency following the 2021 local water shortage emergency. Despite current healthy reservoir supplies, Marin Water recognizes that drought will continue to be a regular occurrence in California and so our work to implement our Water Supply Roadmap remains ongoing. The Roadmap identifies potential projects that will improve and expand existing storage while also outlining opportunities to develop new supplies so that the District is better positioned to weather future periods of extended drought.
