Weather, seasons and the utility

Stockton's summers are long, hot and dry, with many days above 100 degrees, and winters bring fog and rain. Atmospheric river storms, such as those in January 2023, can bring down trees and raise Delta water levels against the levees that protect much of the city. PG&E serves Stockton and handles meters, service drops and reconnection.
