Rain

The wet season is apparently on us, February through April are the three months in which we get almost 90% of our water here in So Cal. It's interesting to watch peoples reactions every year from disbelief and complaints that it's raining to the oft quoted "I am glad it's raining, we really need it." Well, we always need rain. Most people don't realize where our water comes from though. 30% comes from groundwater sources locally, the rest is split between the State Water project which brings water from Northern California and the Colorado River. It does vary by community so if you want to know specifically where your area gets its water check this site out:

Although it has seemed really wet lately we are still below where we should be at for the year.



Keep on conserving and enjoy the rain.
