Current Reservoir Levels and Recorded Rainfall Data
About 75% of the District's water supply originates from rainfall on our Mt. Tamalpais watershed and in the grassy hills of west Marin, flowing into the District’s seven reservoirs. The District also supplements its supply with water from the Sonoma County Water Agency (SCWA), which comes from the Russian River system in Sonoma County. The Russian River water supply originates from rainfall that flows into Lake Sonoma and Lake Mendocino. Learn more about our water supply, reservoir levels, and recent rainfall in the tables below. Please note: Data on this page is typically updated M-F, with the exception of District-observed holidays. Data may occasionally be delayed in posting.
Supply Status Update (6.4.24) - Reservoirs remain above average levels Reservoir storage started water year at high historical levels and remained above average through winter months due to conservation, wet weather, and the District's operational strategy, including maximizing purchases of Sonoma Water supplemental water in the late summer and early fall. Despite current healthy reservoir supplies, Marin Water recognizes that drought will continue to be a regular occurrence in California. Therefore, the District is using this gift of time to continue working to strengthen our water supply resiliency, focusing on projects that will improve and expand our existing storage while also working to develop new supplies so that we are better positioned to weather future periods of extended drought. Building water supply resiliency also requires community effort, and the District encourage customers to continue to embrace the water saving practices learned and implemented in the past few years as a daily habit, whether the community is experiencing a year of heavy rain or times of drought. |
