CHWD Receives Full Water Allocations for 2009
CHWD Asks Water Customers to Continue Using Water Efficiently

The Sacramento region has seen three consecutive dry years and according to the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR), the final snow survey of the 2008-2009 season indicated that the snowpack water content was 66 percent of normal Statewide. While this is still low, the early May storms have resulted in a small increase in available water supplies. Due to this increase, the San Juan Family of Water Agencies-of which CHWD is a member-will receive full water allocations from USBR this year. Following this news, the CHWD Board of Directors has voted to move back to a Stage 1 - Normal Water Supply for 2009. CHWD asks its customers to continue taking steps to use water efficiently. Every drop still counts and we must still conserve water to prepare for another possible dry year. CHWD works closely with its water customers to maximize water efficiencies and provide water efficiency tips and best practices. One way CHWD helps is by offering a free irrigation analysis to its residential and commercial customers. Call CHWD at (916) 725-6873 to schedule your free water analysis or click here to read more.
