Cambridge’s Drought Downgraded to Mild

Cambridge’s Drought Downgraded to Mild

The Cambridge Water Department has announced that the city’s drought status has been downgraded from Level 2 - Significant Drought to Level 1 - Mild Drought as of September 22, 2026. Recent rainfall has eased dry conditions across the region, but the Hobbs Brook Storage Reservoir, Cambridge’s primary water source, remains significantly below normal levels due to the ongoing drought that began in 2025. The reservoir did not fully recharge in the spring, and continued below-average rainfall could necessitate purchasing supplemental water from the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA). Nonessential outdoor water use restrictions remain in place, limiting watering to one day per week during specific hours.

Corpus Christi Water Temporarily Removes Mary Rhodes Pipeline for Leak Repairs

Corpus Christi Water Temporarily Removes Mary Rhodes Pipeline for Leak Repairs

Corpus Christi Water (CCW) has temporarily removed the Mary Rhodes Pipeline (MRP) from service due due to a detected leak. The leak is located near Highways 77 and 239, south of the San Antonio River, approximately halfway along the 101-mile pipeline. This pipeline is crucial as it transports water from Lake Texana to the O.N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant (ONSWTP). CCW crews and contractors are actively working to identify the full extent of the issue and have made progress in dewatering both the project site and the pipeline. Once the excavation around the 64-inch pipeline is safe to access, repair operations will commence. In the interim, CCW has increased water production from the Nueces Groundwater Wells and boosted water releases from the Wesley Seale Dam to ONSWTP to maintain water supply.

Colorado Experts Call for Collaboration Amid Severe Drought

Colorado Experts Call for Collaboration Amid Severe Drought

Colorado water experts and politicians have called for collaborative efforts to address the severe drought affecting the Western Slope region. During the Colorado River District’s annual water seminar held on September 20, 2026, in Grand Junction, stakeholders discussed the unprecedented water shortage and its implications for the future. Andy Mueller, the district’s general manager, emphasized the need for sustainable water systems and highlighted the region's creative responses to the crisis. The drought, caused by low snowpack, early spring, and high temperatures, has reduced the Colorado River system to 23% capacity. Farmers, municipalities, and water agencies have made significant sacrifices, including reduced irrigation and accelerated reservoir drawdowns. Efforts to secure water rights and build infrastructure, such as acquiring the Shoshone Hydroelectric Power Plant’s water rights, were also discussed.
