This massive project improves water quality for the Sacramento County Water Agency and protects the East Bay Municipal Utility District from future water shortages. The result of a historic water rights agreement between the agencies, the project provides 85 mgd for Sacramento year-round and up to 100 mgd for EBMUD under drought conditions. Brown and Caldwell designed 8 miles of large diameter welded-steel pipeline, flow control and other structures.
