Water Supply Outlook Shows Improvement with Major Storm Expected The district delivered 1,933 acre-feet of the 10% Class 2 allocation before the Bureau shut down deliveries on February 3rd, leaving 1,037 acre-feet (21%) undelivered. However, a significant storm system is forecast for late Sunday through Wednesday next week, projected to bring up to 12 inches of precipitation to the San Joaquin watershed with snow levels around 5,000 feet. This could substantially improve the water supply picture, with the Bureau's initial 2026 allocation declaration expected around February 20th, potentially announcing 60% Class 1 water or higher depending on storm outcomes.
