Investing in your water system

Connecting these two Mount Tamalpais Watershed reservoirs will increase operational efficiency by allowing more frequent use of Phoenix Lake water without intensive system modifications. This will ultimately yield a potential increase of 260 acre-feet of water into Bon Tempe Reservoir each year, improving drought resiliency. The Phoenix-Bon Tempe Connection Project is part of Marin Water's Strategic Water Supply Roadmap, which includes a robust mix of short-term water supply strategies, as well as pre-design work to support medium- and longer-term strategies.
