August 16, 2021--Last July was the hottest month recorded on Earth. Even though all of Mendocino County is facing an extreme drought, not every part of the county is experiencing it in the same way. Cities like Ukiah have enough water to meet their own needs while towns like Mendocino and cities like Fort Bragg are facing the possibility of shortages if significant rainfall doesn't materialize soon.
The Mendocino Countywide Drought Task Force discussed the drought and ways cities are coming together to form mutual aid agreements to get water from areas of the county that have to areas that don't.
