Storm Update: Snow Pack is Still Way Below Normal

Despite recent storm systems moving through California, the most recent (today) snow pack data for the northern Sierra shows that snow pack is STILL 90% below normal for the year.

Snowpack is also well below normal in the central and southern Sierra, even with the recent storms.

Northern Sierra snowpack fuels northern California water supply reservoirs and the State Water Project system, which supplies imported water to southern California.

Extraordinary conservation measures must be sustained. To learn more about what the City of Long Beach is doing to conserve water, visit www.lbwater.org.
