Hearst Castle visitors will soon find dusty buses, dry fountains and an empty pool, thanks to one of the worst droughts in California history.
Springs that supply the state historical monument are running at just one-sixth normal, said Nick Franco, superintendent of the San Luis Obispo Coast District of State Parks. Only 47,000 gallons a day now flow from the springs, which State Parks shares with the Hearst Ranch, down from a normal of 285,000 gallons a day in a normal year.
That means a trio of reservoirs that typically are filled with 2.75 million gallons of water this time of year are only about a third full, not enough to carry the Castle through the summer.
So it doesn’t make any sense to keep topping off the iconic, but leaky, outdoor
Neptune Pool, which loses 3,000 to 5,000 gallons of water a day through several cracks. The pool was started in the 1920s and underwent a couple of revisions not long after.

Wahoo Decks announced today from the International Builders’ Show at Booth #C5350 the launch of its newest product, Wahoo Complete, a pre-fabricated aluminum balcony for use in multifamily residential communities.
This new product will bring a safe, sustainable and fire-proof option to market for developers of multifamily communities. The Wahoo pre-fabricated balconies include railing, substructure framing and decking, all in one. Developers have the option of two types of walking surfaces, AridDek aluminum decking or DryJoistEZ (U.S. Pat. No. 8,276,344) structural joists with traditional low-maintenance deck board options for the walking surface. Support is dependent on building design, options include either rod hung, knee-braced, post supports or cantilevered beams.

All balconies are fire-proof, powder coated, marine grade aluminum and are manufactured and assembled in the U.S. Unique to Wahoo Decks, all balcony options are dry-below, meaning, no water, dirt or debris will fall to the balcony below.
