Key takeaway Medina Lake has been the big winner, gaining over 12 feet in a week’s time.
Why this matters in Alamo Heights News
The continued rise of area reservoirs and the aquifer is a welcome trend for Alamo Heights residents, who have been keeping a close eye on water levels after a period of drought. Medina Lake's significant gain of over 12 feet in just a week is particularly noteworthy, and while it still has a long way to go to reach full capacity, this increase will help alleviate some of the pressure on the community's water supply. The aquifer's rebound to nearly 647 feet at the J-17 well is also a positive sign, and its highest level since February 2024 suggests that recent rainfall has had a lasting impact. As the community moves into a hot and humid week with no rain in the forecast, these gains will be crucial in supporting the area's water needs, and residents will be hoping that this upward trend continues in the coming weeks.
