The Santa Clara Valley Water District shut down its largest reservoir in 2020 as the state was slipping into a deepening drought.
Then, last month, the actual retrofit began.
“This is stage one of the Anderson Dam Retrofit Project. What we’re doing here is building a tunnel that goes beneath the dam on the right side here and what this will do is allow us to get the rest of the water out of the reservoir currently, and also act as a diversion during the dam construction,” said SCVWD Dam Safety Officer Ryan McCarter.
