Local leaders and state agencies address Oroville levee concerns
The Oroville Dam Citizens Advisory Committee met Friday to address safety and flood concerns, as well as the next steps to improve the Oroville levee. The levee that protects Downtown Oroville from flooding is over a hundred years old and has fallen into disrepair in recent decades. … The Army Corps of Engineers will be inspecting the levee to determine what needs to be done next to improve it. As for the cost to make those repairs, for local leaders, the hope is to have DWR cover it.
