>> i'm so glad that it's finally raining. >> especially with the low rain that california's been having over the last summer. i think it's probably good for us. >> good, but not good enough. east bay municipal water district officials say with the recent rain, total water levels for their five reservoirs are only about 52% of capacity. the staff is recommending the board of directors vote next week to buy more federal water from the sacramento river. about 16,000-acre feet. the district purchased water in april, but not the full amount, which expires february 28. >> if the district decides that the situation is dire enough, that we need to ask for more water, then district customers would be asked to pay for the cost of delivering that water. >> reporter: east bay mud officials say the 14% charge would add about $4.30 per month to average customer's bill.

another option would be increasing observation. from the current 10% to 15% cut backs. some people say they'd briefer that to the higher rates. >> if it has to happen, it has to happen. for myself, i can figure out how to take shorter showers. >> i think i would rather conserve more water than to have to buy water from the sacramento river. >> the east bay mud board meeting is set for next tuesday, december 9. they are expected to discuss and possibly vote on whether to buy that additional water, which could equal a charge on your bill. another rideshare company is coming under fire tonight. minnesota senator al franken sent a later to the san francisco based company, lyft.

this guide on surveillance. leaders told me they were shocked that alameda county got the drones. especially because the sheriff said he worked with them to craft policy. >> the policy that the sheriff talked to us about over a year ago, we had made clear there were huge loopholes. so large that much more than a drone could fly through. >> reporter: the crones will be used in very specific situations. >> you can see what's kind of either behind train that the officers can't see from, if someone is armed, is on the move towards them, or away from them. >> reporter: ahern says it will be six months, maybe a year before the drones will be in service. john sasaki, ktvu, channel 2 news. late today, nate miley said he will support the purchase of those drones but added quote, i know the sheriff knows this is

20,000 miles an hour. >> this is the model of the spacecraft. what's crucial is the heat shield. it's similar to what you've seen in the early days of space flight. but because the orion spacecraft is moving so much faster when it comes in from mars and so much steeper into the atmosphere, it gets much, much hotter. >> actually immersed in a plasma. >> reporter: nasa scientists created a plastic that literally melts away, taking that heat with it. they showed us years of computer modeling. high and lower speed testing, but they told me, you've got to actually fly it. >> i'm interested in seeing how it flies down to about when the parachutes come out. that's the very difficult part of the flight. a very unsteady flow. >> reporter: orion is built by lockheed martin under contract.

friday. splitting apart here. then the chance of a few lingering rain showers into friday. temperatures for tomorrow, mainly in the 60s for afternoon highs. san jose, we go 66. livermore 65. half moon bay, 61. here is a look ahead. your five-day forecast still pretty busy. the most intensive part of the week that was yesterday and today. the rainfall redevelops on a friday. showers on a saturday morning. maybe more rain clouds. a chance on sunday, but a better bet into monday. i will say the rest of december looks pretty active as well. >> good stuff, thanks mark. mark is here now. almost a bad record set tonight. >> yeah, the kind of history you don't want anything to do with. nobody wants a silver star next to their name in the book of losers. the philadelphia 76ers narrowly avoid such a dishonor. had they lost tonight, that would have tied the mark for

worst start in nba history. kj mcdaniels will have himself a nice touch here. led them with 27 tonight. then michael carter williams will get it to nerlens noel. philly ends their losing streak at 17. they were 0-17. remember the new jersey nets started the 2009-2010 season, 0- 18. it does look like the sixers have the inside track on the number 1 draft choice for next june. hey, if you get 10 straight victories, of course, all about the team. steph curry hit the winning shot last night with a couple of seconds left. nailing down the latest victory, but he has simply done it all just about every night, and everybody has in thed in the nba's western conference, he's the player of the month there. yep, he plays the starring role, but you would be hard- pressed to get him to talk about himself for very long.

>> you're 15-2 and having your franchise best starts and things like that. you know, the mood around the team is really high. and a great honor. hopefully it continues for the rest of the season. hard to quibble with the victory, but cal needing double overtime tonight to handle montana. it doesn't really bode all that well for the bears in berkely this evening. that's ryan anderson of the new orleans pelicans. former bear in town to check out his old school. cal down 3. jordan matthews will can a three and we go to overtime. in fact, they'll go to a second overtime. 76-76. this time, cal's sam singer who won't get it to fall, but up there on the board is david kravish to board it. the bears off to a good start, 6-1. raiders/niners. colin kaepernick didn't feel like talking again today.

so let's concentrate on the positives. that would be the defense. they don't mind doing the lions' share of the work. sports part 2, next.

you already know, it's super huge sunday. ordinarily, you would like to hear from the quarterback.

scrap that from the 49ers. colin kaepernick asked 32 questions. he responded in 87 words. 88 if you count yep. forget him. talk about the defense. even with patrick willis out. clearly, they carried the bulk of the load, and it's got to continue if this team is going to make it to the postseason, but they'd like it if the offense would chime in a little bit from time to time. >> you can only control what you can control. i try to be the best i can be. the defense tries to be the best defense we can be, and just allow our offense to come around. we need them to win these games, and they need us. we just need to count on each other. >> it would be their super bowl if they up end the 49ers come sunday afternoon. >> that's two and a half words per question for colin kaepernick. >> you figured that out. did you count yep? >> yes, still two and a half. >> getting fewer and fewer every week. >> that's the sporting life. >> thank you for joining us

tonight. our coverage continues tonight on ktvu.com. >> have a great evening, and see you tomorrow, good night, everyone. (mom) when our little girl was born,

ls...something times the square root of... something... [ sighs ] i give up. aw, so close. shut up. hey, don't worry. you'll get it. you know, a lot of famous scientists are women. they're fat, though, right? claire: come on, alex. it's time for your cello lesson. how's the tutoring going? are you familiar with the term "throwing good money after bad"? are you familiar with the term "dunphy, party of one"? because you will be. girls. haley's coming along really well, mrs. dunphy. good. good. well, the key is to take a lot of little breaks so you don't get frustrated and want to quit. got it. i was talking to david. come on, sweetie. i'm just saying -- she's never gonna get a job, and how do we know the right middle-eastern businessman wouldn't treat her great? i left my shopping list inside.
