Flood Protection System Withstands Heavy Rains

The Valley’s well-managed flood protection system performed well during three major storm events that took place in late November and early December. Other than very minor flooding at Livermore’s Las Positas Golf Course (which is designed to handle it) and on a street in the Springtown area, the region’s flood control system of creeks and culverts worked as expected to convey flood water out of the Valley. Most localized flooding was due to backed-up street gutters. Considering the magnitude of rain, which at its peak dropped a whopping 0.61 inches in a single hour on Dec. 2, that’s impressive!
