Updates on Los Vaqueros
Reservoir Expansion Construction
Watershed's North Side To Reopen July 14

Updated May 16

The capacity of Los Vaqueros Reservoir is being expanded from its current 100,000 acre-feet to 160,000.

The dam reached its new height -- elevation 521 feet -- on Dec. 8, 2011, one year after the construction contract was approved by the CCWD Board of Directors. The dam is now 34-feet higher than when it was originally completed in 1998.

Activity is now centered on completing the new spillway, inlet/outlet structure, and finishing the thousand details of such a massive project.

The North side of the Los Vaqueros Watershed near Brentwood is closed for expansion, but will reopen on July 14. The South side near Livermore has reopened for limited shoreline fishing, and some trails are open. On July 14, parking will be free on both sides of the reservoir.

For updates, photo gallery, web cam and more information on the expansion project, please look here.

Bike Racers Speed By
Los Vaqueros' Entrance

The Amgen Tour of California raced by the North Entrance to the Los Vaqueros Watershed on Tuesday, May 15.

Though the watershed remains closed, we had a 'comfort station' at the corner of Camino Diablo and Walnut Blvd. near Brentwood to cheer the racers on. More than 80 people came out to our comfort station and ring our 'Los Vaqueros' cowbells and root for the racers.

Thanks to all who came out, we had a great time.
