Mormon Island Now Visible
There's one upside to a drought... Folsom Lake is getting low enough to see the foundations of the old mining town, Mormon Island. We set out to rediscover this once-thriving gold-rush era town. Judging by old pictures of the town, this may only be the beginning. Hurry and check it out - the next storm may start filling the lake up.

397 Feet and Dropping
Folsom Lake Levels have not been this low since 2004... With the low lake levels and the boating restrictions, the normally popular lake was all but abandoned this weekend. The one bright spot: the low lake levels make for some really cool photographs of parts of the lake that are usually submerged.Labels: drought, Folsom Lake, Salmon Falls

Folsom Lake Restricted to 5 MPH
Boat owners have been disappointed upon hearing the news that Folsom Lake will be restricted to 5 mph throughout the lake, starting this weekend. The lake has gotten very low, and the only access is now at Granite Bay and Browns Ravine.

How Low Can You Go?
Folsom Lake is dropping by about 9 inches a day... an unusually dry winter has caused the inevitable result, low water levels. Boaters have until August 1 to get their boats out of Brown's Ravine, or they will likely see their boats on dry land soon. Foundations of Mormon Island and the old Salmon Falls bridge may already be visible.Labels: boating, drought, Folsom Lake

Worried About Water
Folsom continues to expand... only problem is, we don't have enough water. If we had a drought year next year, the city would have to cut consumption by around 20%. By 2010, a 40% cutback would be needed. Find out what the city is doing.Labels: drought, future, water issues

What's With the Water?
While a proposed rate increase on water rates is scheduled to go before public review, the City of Folsom is also trying to prepare for the future, in event of a major drought. The likelihood of expanding the city may have an impact, as Folsom will have less water to go around in low water years. Folsom hopes to have a 'dry-year plan' in place by 2009.

Folsom Lake Sinking Fast
A dry spring has left the Sierras without much snow, and because of this, Folsom Lake is the lowest this early in the year since 1994, the last year of a major drought. Folsom Lake officials are already urging boaters to pull their boats from Brown's Ravine by July 20, as it soon will be dry. 575 boats remain to be pulled by next Tuesday. The lake is now at 54% capacity and will likely get to 30% capacity by September. Details in the BeeLabels: drought, Folsom Lake
