Regional officials anticipate there will be sufficient water levels in Lower Mainland reservoirs to ensure an "adequate" supply over this summer.

In a report to the Metro Vancouver utilities commitee, staff noted that five snowpack measurements were taken in different locations at the three major reservoirs late March.

The measurements revealed that "the depth and water equivalent of the snowpack is approximately 75% and 83% of historical average respectively for that time of year".

This suggests there will be a slightly below normal spring runoff. The report notes that this is a vast improvement over last year's record low levels, which were less than 10 percent of the historical average.

The low runoff last year combined with lengthy periods without rain caused the regional district to impose strict restrictions on the use of water last summer.  

Capilano Lake is 95 percent full and is expected to reach 100 percent by the middle of May.

Seymour Lake is at 85 percent of its summer-storage capacity, but it expected to reach 100 percent by early June.

The third reservoir, Coquitlam Lanke, is controlled by B.C. Hydro. According to the report, it's "anticipated" that it will be "sufficiently full to provide for adequate summer domestic water supply and the necessary allocation for fisheries flows in the Coquitlam River".
