Current Lopez Reservoir level and projected levels are provided in the attachments. IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES: Approximately two (2) hours of staff time is required to prepare the report. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the City Council receive and file the monthly Water Supply and Demand Report. BACKGROUND: On April 25, 2017, the City Council, by resolution, rescinded the Stage 1 Water Shortage Emergency along with related emergency water conservation measures and restrictions. During the public hearing the City Council requested staff to continue preparing the monthly water supply and demand updates. The Council urged citizens to continue to practice every day water saving measures, and reiterated that the previously adopted water conservation measures were to remain in effect. In April 2018, the City’s water use was 161.2 acre-feet with a per capita use of 99 gallons per day/per person. There was a total of 0.5” of rainfall in April. The water use for the current “rolling” water year from April 2017 to April 2018 was 2,458 acre-feet, which equates to a per capita use of 124 gallons per day/per person. There was a total of 10.23” of rain fall for this period. ANALYSIS OF ISSUES: The United States Drought Monitor, as of May 11, 2018 shows San Luis Obispo County in a severe drought. Rain fall to date (July 1, 2017 to May 11, 2018) is 9.23 inches at the Corporation Yard rain gauge. Lopez Lake, as of May 11, 2018, is at 51.5% capacity (25,411 acre-feet of storage).
