Regarding reservoir numbers, jacket3ree wrote "With Anderson drained as we do the seismic retrofit, Santa Clara County has lost most of its local supply. Really need San Luis to fill up and support import."
San Luis isn't filling as quickly as I had hoped. For % of historical levels at the date, San Luis was at these levels on these dates
9/15/22 66%
11/15/22 52%
1/15/23 64% (Last year at this date, it was 54%)
So San Luis hasn't yet made up for 4 months of usage, and we're still worse off than in September. Hard to believe, but those are the numbers.
(Yes, the absolute numbers are up, but we've lost ground to the goal.)
Is this because Santa Clara County can't use Anderson and so San Luis was being drained faster than normal?
Or is that 66% somewhat misleading?
The Anderson Dam Seismic Retrofit is scheduled to be completed in 2032. I believe Anderson Dam could hold roughly 50,000 acre-feet of water.
