The Zone 7 Water Agency has released an interactive map identifying the progress and impacts of flood control channel maintenance going on this summer.
Winter storms in 2017 inflicted a “historic amount of damage” to flood control channels, according to Zone 7 officials. This summer, the agency’s flood protection program aims to repair much of the damages.
Locals can view the reparation progress and impacts to publicly accessible maintenance roads on this online map. Many of the ongoing and scheduled projects are located in the northwestern portion of Pleasanton.
While most of the projects are still scheduled to take place in the future, a handful have been completed or are ongoing near the intersection of Arroyo Mocho and the Chabot Canal, by the Ken Mercer Sports Park — resulting in the closure of the Arroyo Mocho Trail between Hopyard Road and Omega Circle. The closure is set to last through Sept. 7, according to Zone 7 officials.
About five maintenance projects in western Dublin have already been completed.
Zone 7 is a public agency in eastern Alameda County, and acts as a water wholesaler for water service providers in Pleasanton, Dublin, Livermore and San Ramon’s Dougherty Valley along with providing flood protection in the Livermore and Amador valleys.
