Precarious pipelines across the Delta. Big and costly construction projects. Personally I think they should not drain Hetch Hetchy--lets not shoot ourselves in the foot. I've never been to Hetch Hetchy. Maybe I should go. Might be interesting to see some of the fire danger before they close Tioga Pass...

Going across the bridge for water may be cheaper if you do indeed have drought rationing. <br /><br />I've been through it a number of times and am not looking forward to it again. I am glad that the initiative to blow up Hetch Hetchy Dam and make it into an expensive and inaccessible picnic place was voted down. In these times of skyrocketing population, idiotic management and drought, we need that water.

Hoping for the best. One year they had to string a pipeline across the Richmond Bridge to bring water in from the East Bay. They tried a desalinization test project but it proved too costly. Monterey Peninsula is going ahead with a big desalinization project--taking brackish water in at the Salinas River on the edge of Monterey Bay, treating it, and then sending it to a distribution pump house in Pacific Grove, about a block from where I grew up. The Monterey Peninsula has been having problems with their reservoirs filling with silt. They are having to abandon one and another is threatened. They're going to have to build a trench around the silted up dam to be able to access water.
