Water woes

2009-02-04 17:15:47.685515+01 by Dan Lyke 1 comments

We are hoping for rain tomorrow and Friday. It's been a very dry winter and there's much concern over water supplies for the next year, because there's no way that the weather will catch back up.

Bolinas is in worse straits than towns closer to infrastructure. Bolinas is a town out on the coast that's known for being insular. It's hard to find the right turn off of Highway 1 because for years the signs kept being removed. Which led to this comment by SFGate user "zimz" on that article:

The residents took the signs down again. The water can't find them.

Giggle.

I always liked the challenge of finding Bolinas and then enjoying the scenery once there. If I recall, many of the small properties had an incredible array of flowers.

I found an interesting link which details some of the water problems in Marin County. I'm wondering which reservoir Bolinas draws on? I couldn't find anything similar for Sonoma County, only a link to reservoirs.
