Storms Leave Bay Area Reservoirs Above Capacity, Spilling Over

The recent storms have created a lot of concern and catastrophe in the Bay Area. An example comes in Los Gatos, where a 100-foot tall eucalyptus tree slammed down next to Lisa Gonowski’s house. “We are sleeping in our living room because of these huge eucalyptus tree,” she said. But the storm has also reduced worries about our water supply. Last summer you could see the bottom of the Almaden Reservoir. Today it is nearly full because of the storms. In addition, the Lexington, Coyote and Uvas reservoirs are above capacity and spilling over.
