Yes, very limited water supply. Silver City Resort cancelled one of their special events (prior to the mandatory evacuation) for last Saturday partly because of the serious lack of water. Silver City has a community water well as well as relying on a source from the little creek, both of which are suffering greatly from the drought.
At the onset of the Paradise fire, I had a concern if the fireline crested the ridge top to the south that rolling material could get some momentum on that south facing slope and easily roll out below MK Rd. This year I did the buying/delivering for the Silver City Resort shopping list on Wednesdays and picked up the SysCo order in 3Rs on Thursdays. Made 26 round trips on that road…even had my own names for several of the curves.
With a spot below the MK Rd., at the moment, looks like a bleak outcome is possible.
