LAKE LEVELS
University Lake: 0’ 1.25” below full
Cane Creek Reservoir: 7’ 5.5” below full

PRECIPITATION THIS MONTH
Jones Ferry Water Treatment Plant:  2.94”
Cane Creek Reservoir: 2.70”

CUSTOMER WATER DEMAND
Past 7 days (average):  6.462 million gallons
Past 30 days (average):  6.225 million gallons

Estimated Water Supply remaining:
404 days worth (about 13 months), based on average demand in the last 30 days and assuming no further rainfall.

Tip: Raise your lawn mower blade to 3 inches. A lawn cut higher encourages grass roots to grow deeper, shades the root system and holds soil moisture better than a closely clipped lawn.
