Today marked a major milestone for water management in Northern California. Leaders from across the region, including Senate President Mike McGuire, Congressman Congressman Jared Huffman, Maureen "Mo" Mulheren - Mendocino Second District Supervisor and Sonoma County Supervisor James Gore gathered at Lake Mendocino to celebrate the updated Water Control Manual now incorporating Forecast-Informed Reservoir Operations (FIRO).

FIRO uses advanced weather forecasting to guide water storage decisions, helping communities and ecosystems adapt to changing conditions. The update allows operators at Lake Mendocino to store about 20 percent more water during dry seasons—enough to supply roughly 22,000 homes for a year.

Location: Lake Mendocino | Oct. 22, 2025
