"On Thursday, new water restrictions went into full effect in Marin County in the latest effort to conserve water. The Marin Municipal Water District announced earlier this week that its more the 191,00 people it serves in central and southern Marin will no longer be able to turn on their sprinklers or drip irrigation to water outdoor landscaping. The ban is set to be in place until May 31, 2022 and those who don’t comply can face up to $250 in fines among other penalties."

Marin road quality remains mostly mediocre, report says
"Road conditions declined in most Marin County communities last year, and repairs will only get costlier without action soon, according to a new report. The report by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, a regional planning and funding agency, scores roads in all nine Bay Area counties each year based on the number of cracks, potholes, patching, rutting and depressions they have. The report, known as a pavement condition index, scores roads on a scale of 0 to 100, with 100 being a newly paved road. Collectively, Marin County roads had a score last year of 66, which is considered 'fair' and indicates roads are at significant risk of breaking down. The county received the same score in 2018 and 2019."

Marin sudden oak death infections decline amid drought
"The spread of sudden oak death in Marin and 15 other Northern California counties has slowed significantly during the state’s drought, according to researchers. 'Regionwide in 2021 we had the lowest infection rate ever,' said Matteo Garbelotto, an adjunct professor at the University of California, Berkeley. First discovered in Mill Valley in 1995, the disease kills tanoak, coast live oak, California black oak, Shreve’s oak and canyon live oak trees, among others. Since 2000, more than 3 million trees have died of the disease.."

"After a two-year hiatus for the pandemic, the Marin County Fair will make its comeback this summer as an outdoor-only event. 'We are excited to return to our first in-person fair since 2019, and we know our community is eager for this as well,' said Gabriella Calicchio, the county’s director of cultural services. The fair is scheduled for June 30 through July 4. The theme is 'So Happy Together.' The county plans to return to a full indoor and outdoor fair in 2023."

Mortgage Rates Remain Relatively Flat
"Mortgage rates continue to remain stable notwithstanding volatility in the financial markets. The consistency of rates in the face of changes in the economy is primarily due to the evolution of the pandemic, which lingers and continues to pose uncertainty. This low mortgage rate environment offers favorable conditions for refinancing."
