District reservoirs remain in the grip of a severe drought. Despite significant rains in June 1999, two of the District's three reservoirs used for water supply contain less than one-fourth of their designed capacity. Todays water storage can be viewed in graphical format on the Daily Deliveries page. A two-day graph of the reservoir levels for Lake J. B. Thomas , the E. V. Spence and the O. H. Ivie reservoirs may be obtained by clicking these links. These lines vary in diameter from 18 to 60 inches.
Electric power is a major component of our budget each year.
In nearly all cases, the Distict purchases electic power at transmission voltages, since we own, operate, and maintain our own electric sub-stations.
