Pacheco Reservoir Project
Sector: Road • Location: Santa Clara County, California, United States
Source: Santa Cruz Sentinel
A proposed plan to build a new reservoir with a 320-foot high dam on Pacheco Creek near Highway 152 and Henry Coe State Park in southern Santa Clara County. The reservoir would hold 140,000 acre feet of water, enough for 700,000 people a year, and would be filled mostly by piping in water from nearby San Luis Reservoir. The project has faced significant delays, cost overruns, and opposition.
