>> steve ritchie: that's correct. each one of those is a projection of what demand will be in that given year but we are comparing it to the average of what we can supply over a drought and ration over a drought. so it would apply whether you are at the beginning or end of the drought.>> commissioner moran: it's a confusing but important concept .and probably a very bad analogy, if you bought a car that can go 100 miles per hour most of the time you don't so your supply potentially is 100 but your actual demand on the car is not like that all the time so they operate indifferent ways . the supply number is: a rating of the system at any given time. the demand number is the actual measurable demand at that point intime. they just behave differently . >> commissioner harrington: thanks. >> steve ritchie: any other questions? okay, we can go on to the next slide. so here we are looking at it today. this has updated demand projections for anticipated development in the retail service area and includes most recent artist p

. >> reporter: steve ritchie is assistant general manager for water, asking their 1600 irrigation customers and city departments to voluntarily cut back use by 10%. >> i suspect we will see probably a greater reduction because people are good stewards of water use. they always have been and always will be. they know it is dry and are hearing it is dry and people will start to do the right thing. >>> we are tracking drought conditions and water restrictions on our website. go to kpix.com/drought for information on your zip code. >>> i am anne makovec at the live news desk. we got a call to action from the south bay, concerned about a recent drop in demand for vaccinations. statewide, 31.9% of californians have been fully vaccinated. almost 20% are partially vaccinated and numbers are better in santa clara with more than two third of people over age 16 receiving at least one dose. leaders say we need more to roll up their sleeves. they held this news conference to urge teens to get vaccinated saying that will help prevent spread of dangerous variants. >> don't wait any longer to do this. ever
