They can't accurately predict the weather for next week, so I wouldn't rely on what they predict. Even after the lakes were full we were still in stage 3 water conservation requirements (heavy fines for watering grass, washing cars, etc...) There was even a $150 charge on your water bill if you went over 10,000 gallons used/month. The forecasters kept predicting that the rain was temporary and will stop, but it did not. After the major flooding events they finally lifted stage 3, but we are still in stage 2. It finally stopped raining in August.
