“In the long term, it really is just part of a much bigger cycle that we need to be prepared for,” said the Mendocino County Resource Conservation District’s water manager.
“We are excited by the benefits the lake will now provide in terms of water supply and boating,” the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said.
Storms have brought unusually high January water levels at the parched lake.
“Visitors in search of endless hot showers would be better served elsewhere,” a supervisor said, “but most of the people who visit our county are with us to enjoy the vast unspoiled landscapes, small town culture and peace.”
In coming years the city will be “increasingly dependent on stored water,” Public Works Director John Smith said.
