Opinion: Valley Water does creek maintenance in summer to reduce flood risk in winter

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:02:52 GMT

Valley Water work crews maintain stream conditions across Santa Clara County to safely carry water during winter storms. This flood protection work is critical, as we can’t predict when a wet winter will deliver the type of rainfall and creek flows that we saw last season.Santa Clara County has over 800 miles of creeks, and Valley Water owns and manages about 294 miles of those streams. Valley Water inspects and prioritizes portions of these streams for maintenance projects each year through our Stream Maintenance Program. We focus on streams that have been improved with engineered projects to provide continued flood protection for homes and businesses.Between June and October our crews go into creeks and streams to remove sediment, manage vegetation, clear trash and debris and stabilize eroded banks.While heavy work occurs in the summer, stream maintenance is year-round. Valley Water staff regularly inspects stream conditions, especially after storms. Toward the end of the rainy se...
