The Lake!
And now that we figured that out, we've established consensus on how the lake can refill. We agreed that areas of higher elevation help water flow into the lake (most likely through a river) and that precipitation also helps. We even thought about snow melting and how this could also impact the lake refilling (although we don't see snow all the time here).

We're curious if there are other ways the lake refills since we don't really SEE the river flow into the lake, it isn't always precipitating here, and we don't really see snow on mountains near us. We want to find out more about snow and water melting and freezing, so we're taking a side-step to figure out if a phase change keeps all the water there. We were concerned that we're losing water as we drink it and after its treated it goes downstream eventually to the ocean.
