Most of Stanislaus County will receive full water supplies
Winter brought just average rain and snow to Stanislaus County’s main watershed, but most farmers will get abundant supplies. That’s because reservoirs continue to hold much of the runoff from last year’s truly wet conditions. Only in parts of the West Side will water be limited. The storms also boosted groundwater, which is part of the supply in many places. City residents, too, can expect no cutbacks, but they still have to follow rules against outdoor watering in the afternoon. Too much demand on a hot summer day can tax the distribution system.
