Does the Bay Area need even more water from the Tuolumne River than it takes today to serve growth?
No. San Francisco has stated that with only modest conservation (7% beyond what is already expected), it will need no additional water through 2030. The other Tuolumne River water customers have projected a small growth in demand, but have estimated only a 6% savings from water conservation. Even a slightly more aggressive conservation program could eliminate the need for any additional Tuolumne River water.
