Water Supplies
Almost Average
The Soil Conservation Service
reports water supplies will be
close to average this spring and
summer. Precipitation this past
winter was 90 percent of nor
mal. This was the only area In
the state below average. This
past month was cool and wet
with above average increments
of snow being received In the
mountains. The snow cover is
near average on the Umatilla
watershed and 80 percent of nor
mal on McKay Creek. Soils are
wet and will benefit the snow
melt runoff. Reservoir storage is
good for this time of year even
though McKay is not expected
to fill.
