Unfortunately, the level in Hyatt Reservoir has fallen 1% since last week when it stopped raining. Emigrant Lake continues to fill, but it does not contribute to storage for the Ashland Canal.
One interesting thing to note is how the volume of water treated from Reeder has several recent spikes. They all correspond to the periods when it was not raining during most of the last five weeks from April 22-27, May 3-4, and again from May 11 through today. Residents are beginning to water their yards and gardens. The primary use of water during dry spells in the summer is for irrigation, when typical daily use rises from less than 2 Mgal/day to about 6 Mgal/day.
