The reservoirs in SRP’s system are at 93% and rising thanks to plenty of snow pack this year. Just a couple months ago the system was just below 50% so all this water is great. Don’t go out and throw a water party though, Phoenix’s insatiable thirst for water will go through all that pretty quickly. It never hurts to save some for tomorrow.
SRP provides around 54% of the valley’s water.
Despite the filled lakes, one wet season does not a dry spell break, warned Ester. “We need another wet winter in a row to be able to lay this current drought to rest.”

Lets hope for a wet winter in 2009 and maybe we can make a dent in this drought! I am always baffled as to why there are no regulations in the Phoenix area for our water consumption. Tucson seems to have such great policies in order to live within their water-means (http://www.ci.tucson.az.us/water/ordinances.htm). I have heard that Boulder, CO has similar laws in place.. what’s the deal Phoenix?
