we do expect hetch hetchy to fill this year and we're actually releasing water to make room for snow melt because there is a large amount of water captured in snow up in the sierra above our reservoir so we'll be releasing from cherry to hetch hetchy to make room for those reservoirs to fill up. again, around the state, there are reservoirs that are not in very good condition. principally shasta. don pedro is in fairly decent condition at 82% of its volume but shasta is down to 47% and that is a problem for the central valley project. drought conditions around the state haven't changed much. it's either extreme drought or severe drought. although as we get into the precipitation data, you'll see that we actually did have a fairly nice end to the month of april. this shows the hetch hetchy precipitation and this slide is about 21% of -- excuse me, about 21 or 22 inches. it's now up to about 25 or 26 inches so we got about three inchs in this last storm. upcountry snow pack shown on the next slide. also bumped back up above the 2021 line so that it's -- there is a bit more snow that di

the sfpuc is helping hetch hetchy customers install charging stations at their facilities, we're advancing efforts on curbside charging with sfmta and the department of the environment, and sfmta is exploring options to expand public charging in municipal parking and parking lots. so these efforts go hand in hand with efforts citywide. all of this is important as we seek to decarbonize and switch to a cleaner future. in california, homeowners are still more than three times as likely to own an e.v. compared to those who do not own a home. in comparison, renters in the 70% of san franciscans who live in multiunit dwellings don't have the ability to easily install charging at home. allowing for more retail charging locations would help level the playing field and help increase e.v. adoption. we really appreciated your feedback and discussion when this item was before you last time, especially with regard to fleet charging. we think it's time we have a focused discussion with our city stakeholders and experts regarding e.v. charging in the city of san francisco and its needs. we need to ensur
