How are cities like Roseville and Folsom preparing for Folsom Lake to hit a historic low? Have these communities made contingency plans to ensure customers’ water supply reliability has and continues to be a focal point beyond the drought? How will Folsom ensure it has enough water for 10,000 proposed new homes to be built in the near future?
