Water production is the amount of water that enters the distribution system. This is the combination of surface water and groundwater. 

The table and graph below show the current water production by month compared to previous years.

State Monthly Water Conservation and Production Reports 

When Term 91 (the curtailment of surface water supplies) is in effect less surface water can be diverted by the Woodland Davis Clean Water Agency decreasing the availability of surface water for the City of Davis. Although Term 91 most often occurs in the summer months, it can remain in place for a longer period of time depending upon water supply and weather conditions. Term 91 remains in place until significant rainfall occurs in the Fall/Winter and can go back into effect if surface water supplies decrease. When Term 91 is in place, the City relies on groundwater supplies more heavily.

Although the City’s water supplies (via the conjunctive-use system of surface water and groundwater) are currently stable, continuing water conservation efforts can help to reduce water demands citywide, ensure that resources are being used as efficiently as possible, and prepare the community in case there are more significant impacts from drought conditions or State mandates for reductions in the future.

Resiliency Planning

The City of Davis has been working together with our regional water partners to build more resilient local water sources. The City Council and City Commissions receive updates on current conditions and planning efforts.
