Water Woes

In the Looking Back section of our March issue, Jim Wood wrote about a six-mile pipe that was laid across the RichmondSan Rafael Bridge in the mid ’70s to bring water from the East Bay to a desperately dry Marin. Fortunately, the rains of the winter of ’77 were among Marin’s highest on record, but people got talking on Instagram, regardless.

I was just discussing this with a friend, and I can't wait to read the article.

2014 $2B passed to increase water storage... NOT ONE DROP OF SAVINGS. — @aflynninstagram

Have we built bigger reservoirs since then? Please tell me we are better insulated from disaster. — @erobes123

There as a kid in the ’70s, we were rationing water! — @stacey_baumann

I remember that big old pipe! Was wondering why they removed it!
