OWASA reservoirs at normal levels
The water stored in OWASA’s reservoirs (University Lake and Cane Creek Reservoir) are at near normal levels for this time of year: more than 80% full thanks to above average rainfall earlier this year. Track our Water Watch page for daily updates on rainfall, water supply and water use in the Carrboro-Chapel Hill community. We always recommend wise water use, because reducing water use means savings for the planet and your pocketbook! Learn more on ways to conserve and save.
