Del Puerto Canyon Reservoir project advances amid pushback
A plan to build a new reservoir in Stanislaus County is getting some pushback. The Del Puerto Canyon Reservoir would basically cover the current Del Puerto Canyon Road, west of Interstate 5. The project would cause a roadway and power lines to be rerouted. The reservoir would hold water to be used for local agriculture. The Del Puerto Water District’s Patterson general manager, Anthea Hansen, said hundreds of thousands of acres of land would benefit the district, as the current water supply it uses is unreliable. … In a Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors meeting, some residents in the community expressed concerns about the project.
