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.
Taking on water leaks, wild bigs, and the limited hours in the day: “I felt like crying, which is part and parcel for farming at some point during any season.”
Mendocino County water needs “are knocking on the door yesterday,” but the board is divided on the best approach.
