Water Watch

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.

Supply Status Summer 2026 Update – Reservoir levels remain strong

Marin Water’s seven reservoirs were above 91% capacity as of July 1, 2026, continuing a trend of better-than-average storage levels. Conservation and operational strategies put in place to bolster the District’s water supply resiliency following the 2021 local water shortage emergency have kept reservoir levels strong. 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.
