Glendale did not need its water resources update during the June 9 City Council workshop to know cuts to its water supply are inevitable and the alternative supplies the city built up may come into play.<\/p>\n
Of the two main reservoirs along the Colorado River, where the city gets a good portion of its water, Lake Mead is at 30% capacity and Lake Powell is at 24% capacity, Water Resources Manager Zacary Richards said. The total Salt River Project reservoir system is at 54% capacity as of June 8. The system was at 67% a year ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Colorado River system is facing a historic hydrological dry period, with total system storage falling to 20 million acre-feet, a significant drop from the 23 million acre-feet recorded just one year ago.\u201d Richards said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Glendale did not need its water resources update during the June 9 City Council workshop to know cuts…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":878125,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5131],"tags":[5229,5643,1587,356855,25133,147197,5644,356856,49420,49421,1589,310185,40590,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,356854],"class_list":["post-878124","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-phoenix","tag-america","tag-arizona","tag-az","tag-bart-turner","tag-cap","tag-central-arizona-project","tag-colorado-river","tag-joanne-toms","tag-lake-mead","tag-lake-powell","tag-phoenix","tag-sarah-porter","tag-srp","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa","tag-zacary-richards"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116776560638705175","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/878124","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=878124"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/878124\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/878125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=878124"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=878124"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=878124"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
