ALT Wet winters strengthen local water supplies. Thanks to a series of strong atmospheric river storms providing close to double the average rainfall throughout Santa Barbara County, Lake Cachuma spilled again for the third time in four years. Especially unusual is how early in the rainy season these storms occurred. The lake began spilling in December, and continued to spill through the end of March. Lake Cachuma is the Goleta Water District’s (District) most energy efficient and cost-effective source of water. • The Goleta Groundwater Basin has also benefited from the recent wet winters, allowing the District to turn off its wells and inject surface water into the basin under its Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) program, which stores water in the basin during wet years for use during dry years when surface water supplies are constrained. As a result, this critical drought buffer has recovered to levels not seen in over a decade. • The District system includes a surface water treatment

ALT Diagram that illustrates the various components of the District's water system, with test that reads: A complex water system with aging infrastructure worth over $1 billion requires significant investment to ensure continued water service reliability. With careful planning and balanced investments, District customers continue to pay less than 2 cents per gallon for drinking water delivered to their taps.
