A day counts as short of water when JW's worst report for it that day was “poor pressure to no water” or “critically low”. Gaps: Eagles Nest Reservoir: no report from 27 May 2025 to 31 January 2026.

From April to September 2026 (six months), JW reported Eagles Nest Reservoir short of water on 2 of 159 reported days

Days per month short of water, stacked: critically low at the base. The tick is the median supply in the city that month. The strip under each bar is the share of days with a JW report; a month with none says gap. 3 March 2025 to 29 September 2026.

In 2026 so far: 2 days short of water for Eagles Nest Reservoir, from 185 days with a report. The median supply in the city: 4 days.

On Eagles Nest Reservoir, its last 2 outages lasted at least 36 hours and 24 hours

This is not a forecast. It is how long past outages lasted. Each dot is one past outage, placed by its length: the last 2 outages on Eagles Nest Reservoir. A hollow dot with an arrow had no reported end: JW's reports stopped before it ended, or it was still going at JW's last report. Either way it lasted at least that long (1 of 2).

The water came back after the stated time 1 time; half of those times it was back within 12 days of it. Each row is one end time a JW notice stated for one supply, in date order (hollow dot), against the first board on which JW reported the supply supplying fairly or better and off bypass (filled dot). This asks more than the end of an outage, which comes at JW's first report better than “poor pressure to no water” or “critically low”. An arrow: no such board yet. From 1 notice.

In words

2026 so far: JW reported it at “poor pressure to no water” or “critically low” on 2 days. JW published a report for it on 185 of the 272 days in the record; the other 87 days have no report, and we do not count them as normal. The median supply in the city had 4 such days.

2025: JW reported it at “poor pressure to no water” or “critically low” on 1 day. JW published a report for it on 43 of the 304 days in the record; the other 261 days have no report, and we do not count them as normal. The median supply in the city had 1 such day.

The last 2 outages JW reported on this supply lasted a median of at least 30 hours; the longest at least 36 hours. 1 of them had no reported end (still open, or JW's reports stopped), so they count at the length so far. This is a record of the past, not a forecast.

JW's boards first named Eagles Nest Reservoir on 3 March 2025 and last on 29 September 2026: 371 statuses on 371 boards, over 228 days. 0 of those statuses announced a scheduled overnight closure, which we count apart, never as an outage.
