Here’s how Lake Nacimiento and other local reservoirs are doing after storms
Recent storms have had an impact across San Luis Obispo County — including tree-toppling high winds and flooded roadways — and local reservoirs are no exception.
Lake Nacimiento was at more than 96 percent of its capacity as of Thursday (see video above), according to totals kept by the San Luis Obispo County Public Works Department.
After years of frustrating drought, growing reservoirs can be a welcome sight. (Though residents will have to be mindful of flooding as the rainy season continues.)
