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.
