Work to make Anderson Dam in Morgan Hill safer just reached a project milestone as crews began excavating a new outlet tunnel.
"Being able to get a large amount of water out of the reservoir helps us lower the reservoir in case there's an emergency event like an earthquake or large storm that can create a spill," said Ryan McCarter, assistant officer of dam safety."So, that way, we can move controlled water out of the reservoir."
Frank Juliano moved into his Morgan Hill home three years ago to enjoy retirement life. From just outside the front door of his house in Borello Ranch Estates, he can see the dam.He can also hear the construction taking place with the Anderson Dam seismic retrofit project.
