people start wondering if maybe we might have drought restrictions headed into the summer months. but it looks right now like california's water supply is in great shape. the most recent us drought monitor shows that california is drought free. there are a couple abnormally dry spots, but no drought conditions statewide. nearly all of our reservoirs are at or above their historical average for this time of year. great news headed into the spring and summer months. the state's snowpack is also an average of 116% for this time of year here in the bay area. all of the major water providers are showing healthy amounts of water in the reservoirs. the east bay municipal utility districts, reservoirs are at 93% of full in the south bay, the santa clara valley water district says they're 10 reservoirs are at 68.4% of capacity. but that number is misleading because anderson reservoir the district's largest is currently undergoing a seismic retrofit and only has about 4% of its normal amount of water. san francisco's main water storage reservoir hetch hetchy in yosemite is currently at 80% of full capacity. and finally in the north bay, the marine water district says

their reservoirs are at an average of 91.4% of full capacity and winter's not done yet. there is more rain in the forecast for this weekend. but for now in the north bay, charles clifford kron, 4 news. a proposed plan and solano county could limit the amount of water people are allowed to use from lake berryessa. >> the idea is to protect the watershed. if this is approved, it would reduce the amount of water available for solano communities by 75% and would be used for state purposes. instead, it is a proposed a major cutback and a lot of people are concerned, including the mayor of fairfield. he says it would be bad news for homeowners, agriculture businesses, and that would include the city's contract with anheuser-busch and travis air force base. they apparently don't care about the people who live in our cities unincorporated area. >> the mess not care about travis air force base because it endangers quite frankly, to realize what how could the

state even recently proposed what proposing? just just a 75% reduction of our most reliable water supply. >> in a system that's functioning incredibly well since 1959. officials from the state water resources board say. >> they're still updating the planned gathering public input. in fact, the public encouraged to join public workshops and all this this month from the 24th to the 26. let's take another look at weather as we look live at the city kyla is back and it's going to get warmer. >> it is going to warmer. but since we're talking about water resources, we're going to be a little more rain to and you know, this time of year, that's not always a given so that i think that's a good thing. although i know it's coming at an inopportune time, folks that we've got a blue skies out there today tomorrow at thursday. we're looking pretty good, too. we're taking a live look from mount tam right now as we get towards the weekend, we are going to have some rain, though, to contend with. we'll talk about that in just a second. but take another look at these temperatures are pretty impressive. we've got lots of folks in the mid to upper 70's right now as you

can see, santas a livermore, concord, santa rosa all up there, oakland sitting at 69 degrees, though, not to be left behind in san francisco about 64. so if you are headed to see a baseball game tonight, the giants game taking on the washington nationals should be lovely tonight. we should have a mostly clear skies out there. some nice low 60's in the wind. not bad. just a little bit out of the west about 11 miles per hour. so i think you'll be looking good over the next few days. this map kind of shows the departure from normal. so when you see numbers in red like you do in san jose here over the next 3 days and in los angeles as well. you can see they're going to stay above average and that has everything to do with the high pressure that's in control. and that's why we're getting this really nice weather now. eventually that gets bumped out of the way by low pressure. that brings a little stormy weather ahead of it, which means some rain for us. and it's really going to change that airmass. we're going to really drive in some cool air once again. so if we kind of look at the next system, i'm expecting it will get here late friday. so i think we stay dry throughout the day on friday, but then

friday into saturday and then potentially purse part of sunday. that's going to have some those really cool scattered showers, urban areas looking out for between about a half an inch and an inch of rain. the coastal mountains could pick up one to 2 inches. so it's a significant amount of rain. and if you're looking at this and going, i don't really want a more rain. well, okay, hang in there. this looks at the long-term. so we're going to go now to the 14 to the 18th of april. so think of skipping a week ahead. and you can see that we're actually way be drier than normal at that point. so things are going to be changing rather drastically here, a kind of up and down. we go from very warm temperatures, too, a little bit of rain, a very cool temperatures. but as we get into next week, notice we start to balance it out, at least by tuesday, kind of getting seasonal and having some nice weather. thank you, kyra. contra costa county leaders are going to be weighing in on a proposal to hike utility bills based on the income levels of customers. >> the board of supervisors set to vote today on whether support this measure. if it does pass, it would approve the plan from utility regulators to create tiered

utility bill writes and limit the charges that can be added to customers, bills. the bill has to be reviewed by the utility and energy committee by april. 26. happening today. jose leaders will vote on a new measure to limit where homeless camps can be set up. they say the move is necessary to keep schools and children safe. kron four's will tran has the story. homeless advocates believe that this is an attack. >> on the homeless a lot of times, it's not their fault. they simply cannot afford a traditional house. but a lot of parents and students there are fighting back saying the school areas are not safe for them because when they walk to school, they say they walk around a lot of homeless as well as needles. they claim what's going to happen is the city council members will decide a couple of measures. one measure was actually decided 3 years ago. that said that the homeless encampments cannot be any closer. that 150

feet to a school. but it was more like guidelines. it's not the law. so what they will do now is trying to make a law by trying pass it. if that becomes law that a police officer can come up to a homeless person and site that person. >> but they're not asking for money. they're just saying that you can't be any closer then that established distance another measure that they will be trying to pass our rv's and vehicles is school zones. the homeless advocates don't like this because they say there's not a lot of areas in san jose. the park, a lot of homeless use rv's instead of traditional houses to live in. >> what they will do is they will look at certain school zones and think you know what, this is not safe to be here because it's so large of strikes, the views of drivers as well as people in the cross walks and that could be dangerous for the students as well as the teachers and

parents moving about the school's own. what's going to happen is they will get a warning. and after that, if they're not moved, then they will be towed. >> the california auditor's office says a lot more has to be done to make sure that expense of state programs to deal with homelessness are actually working or doing anything. the audit shows there's not enough information on the cost. the outcomes and that the homeless council is not consistently tracking. checking the programs. california has spent 24 billion dollars in the past 5 years. we did reach out to the homeless council for a response. >> still ahead, you might have seen a house floating along the bay. the coast guard explains why it is on the move. and yesterday's eclipse prada. lot of money to cities and towns in the path of totality. the estimated number of americans who traveled to see it. well, the u.s. total

solar eclipse was great to look at, but it also brought in millions of dollars to more than >> 1400 cities and towns in the path of totality. and they figure roughly 4 million people traveled to one of those cities and along with the influx of travelers, the clips also brought out some celebrities like actor william shatner, who visited indiana university. >> there are a natural events taking place in the world all the time that attract our attention. unfortunately taking the magic away and give it to a scientific

explanation. but the still so much that we don't understand. >> experts say probably was the most watched eclipse in history generating more than a billion dollars in the u.s. alone. the deadline to file your taxes. you know, it's coming closer. people have until april 15th to file. there are free electronic filing options are offered to the irs. if you are looking for help, if you can't finish up by the 15th, you can apply for a filing extension at the irs website. and coming up, what the governor of maryland is doing to try to get the francis scott key bridge in baltimore replaced as soon as possible. >> and yet another honor being proposed for the late senator dianne feinstein and the fight over a possible name change for oakland airport. this is continuing how some major continuing how some major airlines she got that dress with the extra money she saved
