After two years of above-average rainfall, the reservoirs in San Diego are at near capacity.
San Vicente's reservoir waterfalls are spilling in to help raise the water level, but what does that mean as we head into the Summer months?
"Knowing how much we have now, so when the drought comes, we will be able to our community what it needs. The precipitation over the past couple of years has been substantially above normal from the previous and we've had 2 years back-to-back with unusually wet weather," said Eva Plajazer, Director of Operations and Maintenance for the San Diego Water Authority.
Plajzer says its investments in the infrastructure on the San Vincente dam height, completed in 2014 increased its capacity.

I like how they show San V, but won’t report on the water that has been dumped from Hodges/el cap/ Sutherland

Hodges, El Capitan, and Sutherland Could also be full if the city had addressed the dam issues years ago, Hodges has dumped enough water to support over 70,000 households for a year, El Capitan has dumped enough for 50,000, Sutherland is as low as I have seen it in years. All three lakes catch and retain runoff, with the last 2 years of above rain fall all three would be full now. The other lakes that are currently full 2 of them are fed mainly by the aqueduct so they did not capture much of the runoff. We could have been set for a few years if the lakes had been maintained properly, instead the city has just kicked the can down the road.

You expect cbs to be truthful? They are a Democrat propaganda organization, nothing more ! We need real leaders that will put in two pipelines for water in next 10 years 😊😊😊😊

Just like we always experience, every 5 yrs we get a good drenching

Go look at Lake Southerland and tell me we are saving water. They drained it to 13% of capacity after it was about 80% last year? What happened to all that water?

Good news for San Vicente but you guys screwed up on Lake Hodges. My water company can't draw water from it and we're still paying for it. Need to get your act together San Diego Water.

Agreed, its a shame. City needs to get it together. My first experience at Hodges was a dried up swamp. Not because there's not enough water, because the city is too lazy to maintain the dam. So they dump the fresh water into the ocean.

It’s called global raining, time for everyone to take longer showers

the worst part is we could have had more stored water but ca doest want to build more reservoir because of environmentalists. also they also release water to save a now extinct species of fish. and now even with this water they are still going to implement more water restrictions.
