The silent killer is at large, and it is time to protect you and your family.
The killer not a person, but rather a temperature “heat dome” (112 in Portland; 117 outside of Vancouver, B.C.; Sacramento/Roseville 111). Forecasts for July and August are also hot.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that even short exposure to high temperatures can cause serious health problems and even death. Effects can appear suddenly. The July 1995 heat wave in Chicago caused 700 deaths. The 2003 summer heat wave in Europe resulted in 70,000 deaths. Scientists predict even more heat waves in the future due to climate change and increased greenhouse gas emissions.

NID to buy water from PG&E
NID budgets $620,000 for 16,000 acre feet of water from their shared watershed in Eastern Nevada County.
Submitted to The Union
To ensure an adequate water supply, the Nevada Irrigation District is making arrangements to purchase supplemental water from PG&E a move it says is happening after one of the worst years for rainfall in over 100 years.
The importance of finding additional water supplies continues to increase as drought intensifies. Based on an analysis and forecasts, the purchase of supplemental water is necessary to safeguard public health and safety supplies in the event that the 2021-22 winter is dry. The intent of the purchase is to bolster carryover storage heading into the 2022 water year.
