SANTA CRUZ – Santa Cruz water officials are optimistic about the city’s water reserves for the upcoming dry season.
Santa Cruz has already seen double the runoff from the river than it saw all last year. In water year 2021, the city saw 16,461 acre-feet of runoff water. So far in water year 2022 the city has accumulated more than 33,000 acre-feet of runoff, Coburn noted. The Loch Lomond Reservoir is the city’s primary source of water when the river does not produce enough runoff. The river can’t produce runoff without rainfall.
Even if the city had needed to transition to Stage 2 water restriction, Coburn stated that would be difficult and costly for the city to achieve. Since residents in Santa Cruz are already conscious of water conservations practices, finding other ways to save water becomes difficult. The city isn’t quite in the spot to loosen restrictions just yet. Finishing the wet season strong would be the best way for the city work its way out of water restrictions for the next year.
