[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Reservoir Levels” tab_id=”reservoir-levels”][vc_column_text css=””]Typically drawn down in summer when customer demands increase, water supply reservoirs are designed to refill in the winter and spring through natural runoff and, in some cases, by pumping water into them. Reservoir storage is just one factor that NJDEP uses to evaluate drought conditions and their impact on regional drinking water supplies. These graphs are updated weekly, but may be delayed based on data availability.
