On this page, you will find a snapshot of 卡森城’s current water supply and community usage. You will also learn tips on using water wisely, including how to follow the City’s seasonal water restrictions.

水的供应 & 使用

卡森城 utilizes water from three groundwater basins, and surface waters from Ash Canyon and Kings Canyon Creek, Carson River and the Marlette/Hobart system. 卡森城 水 公用事业公司 practices conjunctive use, in which surface water usage is maximized to help reduce the use of wells and to conserve groundwater.

The city’s water usage in winter is 5-6 million gallons per day. During the summer, usage can jump as high as 24 million gallons per day.  This increase is due to outside irrigation.  Below is a snapshot of the city’s supply and usage.
