The North Fork of the Gualala River has swelled over the last couple of days due to the recent rain storms. River flows are now above the bypass requirement of 41 cubic feet per second (see here), which means that the district is back under Voluntary Water Conservation measures.

Because of the drought, California statewide water use restrictions are still in place.

Customers are being notified of the change by automated phone call on Thursday, January 14, 2016.

Thanks for your conservation efforts, everyone!

The Gualala River broke through the sandbar on Thursday, December 10, 2015 around noon. It opened at the very north end of the estuary.
