he potential for wide swings in precipitation from one year to the next shows why we must be prepared for either flood or drought in any year. Although this year may be wet, dry conditions could return again next year. 2017 may be only a wet outlier in an otherwise dry extended period. Unfortunately, the scientific ability to determine if next year will be wet or dry (known as sub-seasonal to seasonal forecasting, or long range weather forecasting) isn’t yet capable of delivering reliable predictions.

Within Discovery Bay, many previously unmetered homes will have their new water meter installed and residents will be able to monitor their water usage with the Water Utility Customer Portal which will ultimately result in saving water and money.
To use EyeOnWater and see your metered water use, follow these easy steps: 1. Visit https://eyeonwater. com/signup on your computer using a supported web browser. 2. Enter your service area zip code: 94505 3. Enter account number on your water bill (include dashes & periods) 4. Enter your email address 5. Create and confirm a password 6. You will get a confirmation email from Badger Meter, Inc. Verify your email address by clicking on the link in the confirmation email. When that’s done, sign in using your email and password.
Although the drought feels like it’s over, there are still government restrictions in place to use water wisely. • Continue to prevent wasteful practices such as watering lawns within 48 hours of a rainstorm. • Hosing down sidewalks and driveways is prohibited. • Prevent overwatering landscaping to the point where water runs into the streets.
