NACIMIENTO RELEASED

WATER WAS RELEASED FROM A LOCAL RESERVOIR YESTERDAY. THE MONTEREY COUNTY WATER AGENCY STARTED THAT PROCESS AT LAKE NACIMIENTO YESTERDAY, TO MAKE ROOM FOR LAST NIGHT?S EXPECTED RAINFALL. STATE REGULATIONS REQUIRE ABOUT A THIRD OF THE RESERVOIR CAPACITY BE RESERVED FOR WATER COLLECTED FROM LARGE STORMS. THAT?S IN AN EFFORT TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF THE DAM FAILING.
