Water Supply & Quality

| We had about 3/4" of rain week before last so soil moisture has been not too bad, but now with a lot of hot and breezy days we are getting back into very dry conditions again. Long term we have been down to less than half of normal rainfall since the middle of August of 2025. That is the longest prolonged drought that anyone can remember around here. Crops in the fields and in my garden are germinating and growing very poorly. All ponds and reservoirs are very low. Some farmers are trying to bale some hay but not getting very much yield. Some farmers are beginning to think that they may have to sell off parts of their herds because they may not have enough hay to carry them through next winter. Forecast is calling for some rain in the next week, hope that is correct because if not, we are going to be in pitiful shape going into the summer. |

| No measurable rain last week. Creek bottom of Hatcher Creek and Crabtree Creek was visible yesterday with stagnant puddles and no apparent downstream flow. A few of the many nearby small pond water levels are lower than usual and >50% covered with surface algae. Tap water temperature measured 10 days in the kitchen (near the southeast wall) during December was 288.8 K (+/- 0.46 K) and 10 recent measurements in May was 292.4 K (+/- 1.45 K). Advertised efficiency of our water heater is based on a regional water temperature estimate of 289.8 K. Average of 10 electroconductivity measurements of kitchen tap water in December was 161.5 (+/- 2.21) compared to May 220.8 (+/- 5.6). Water restrictions remain in effect in the surrounding area. |

| What a difference a week makes. Creek has enough water in it to tell that it's running. Ground under Willow tree firm and dry. Still some standing water at beyond the entrance to woods. Bare ground is barely damp with no cracks. Grass is Green, cutting two times a week. Light Frost 5/15. Stepped outside this evening and the air had the smell of Spring. |
