Currently in the planning phase, Valley Water’s Lower Guadalupe River Project will restore the river’s flood protection level to its design capacity of a 100-year flood and provide natural flood protection for residents and businesses. The project limits are from Gold Street in Alviso to Interstate 880 near Airport Parkway in San Jose. Valley Water staff are evaluating alternatives to select the best solution to reduce the risk of flooding while minimizing impacts on the environment and protecting habitat values.

Valley Water will be hosting the next public meeting on October 26 at the Northside Branch Library in Santa Clara and will provide updates to residents and gather input from the community on project alternatives. Once the Valley Water Board of Directors approves the recommended alternatives, the project will move into the design phase.

Location: Northside Branch Library (695 Moreland Way, Santa Clara, CA 95054)
Date: Thursday, October 26, 2023
Time: 5:30 – 7 p.m.
