South West Water says total net reservoir storage is 82.7%, which is normal for the time of year.
Resources Strategist Glenis Pewsey said: "Surface water sources, such as reservoirs and river intakes, provide approximately 90% of the South West Water region's water supply. It is part of our strategy to use local reservoirs first - like Burrator -to keep down our pumping costs because they are closest to centres of population.
"But all our major towns and cities are also supported by three large strategic reservoirs: Colliford, Roadford and Wimbleball, which between them hold over 84,000 Mega litres of water. These huge reservoirs are all over 80% full, and we do not envisage any water restrictions in the region this summer."
