Going from 516 to 511 doesn't seem very encouraging as it's still way over target and it's probably just the mid-week dip where people aren't doing laundry before going to work. Doesn't seem like we're going to get to yellow or green until an emergency alert goes out. They originally said 7-10 days (I think?) so hopefully they are close to finishing that repair.
Also, I love how the chart they keep sharing still has temperature on the bottom. That was useful information in the summer but does temperature have any relation to usage in the winter? The chart doesn't even show the negatives, just the number lol. Stupid.

Good catch. The strain numbers all seem to be when the numbers are positive and not when negative. Is the cold helping to create a pipe of ice to keep water in the system when it's cold vs water seeps out of the system when the temps are hot or something strange like that?
Why would there be more potable water demand on Dec 30-31 than Jan 1 or December 24-25 which are times where people might be using more water for events etc.
