To say it rained a lot this year is an understatement and the reservoirs in the City of San Diego have been filling up. To get a better idea on that we talked with Drew Kleis, San Diego's public utilities assistant director. He said he likes the impressive rainfall totals. "In the last 3 weeks we've received over 25,000-acre feet of runoff water," he said. "That translates to having 36% more water in our reservoirs than we did this time last year. That's a lot of local runoff we're able to use in our drinking water system. In the last 3 weeks we've collected enough drinking water for approximately 50 days." The City of San Diego gets nearly 90% of its water from imported resources and 10% from rain capturing at its nine reservoirs. Kleis says when you look at last year's incredible rain and combine this year so far local water is significant. "This year with the benefit of the additional rain and what we've gotten over the last 2 years we anticipate 20% of our local needs will come from runoff," he said. One reservoir that has not been able to hold on the excess rainfall is Lake Hodges. The dam is over 100 years old so, the California Division of Safety of Dams has reduced the amount of water Hodges can hold at 28 feet.
