1. State Water Project Allocation Increased to 30% The Department of Water Resources increased Metropolitan's current State Water Project allocation from 10% to 30%, representing approximately 570,000 acre-feet of supply. This increase was based on improved reservoir conditions at Lake Oroville (at 2.8 million acre-feet as of January) following late December storms. However, staff cautioned that allocations remain subject to change based on evolving hydrologic conditions, with potential scenarios ranging from 13% under critically dry conditions to as high as 75% if conditions significantly improve.
