Storms restore Marin County reservoirs to above-average levels
In a stunning turnaround, Marin County water supplies that were once at risk of going dry next year have refilled to above-average levels following a series of unusually early downpours. Marin water officials are reevaluating some drought restrictions and penalties that were adopted earlier this year, especially with more rain in the forecast this week. The Marin Municipal Water District has recorded about 34 inches of rain since July, which is about 240% of normal by this time of year and about 14 inches more than it received in the entire winter of 2020-2021.
