County has a whole is starting to worry about water. I think the biggest reservoir (Lake Mendocino) is mostly owned by Sonoma and Marin, and Ukiah was starting to conserve last summer. Ukiah gets maybe 40" of rain. I'm 40 miles north, average about 80. Lots of micro climates. If I get 80, Branscomb, 10 miles west, might get 100+. My average of 80 truly is...some years get 50, some years 110. I've got a seasonal creek and spring. Both usually stop about mid June, but the creek has run til mid July, once or twice. Store my summer drinking water in a 16K gal. Doughboy swimming pool; that was plenty for 5 of us. Have 2 ponds. The smaller is maybe an acre foot, used for irrigation, gravity flow cuz it is at the top of the property. (The previous owners tried to drill a well up there; hit nat. gas and capped it. I'm keeping it capped.) The larger pond is about 4 acre feet. We built it for the world. CDF has used it for fires about 5 times. Wildlife like it. You never can have too much water, unless you have too much water.
