    Los Vaqueros Dam and Reservoir

  1. Project Overview

    Expansion of Los Vaqueros Reservoir improves Bay Area water supply reliability and water quality while protecting Delta fisheries and providing additional Delta ecosystem benefits.


    • The project will include a regional intertie (the Transfer-Bethany Pipeline), improved pump stations and pipelines and increase the reservoir’s capacity up to 275,000 acre-feet. 
    • The project builds upon the successful first phase of expansion from 100,000 to 160,000 acre-feet funded by the Contra Costa Water District and completed in 2012. 
    • Los Vaqueros is one of the projects being evaluated in the context of a broader Bay Area effort to work collaboratively as a region to improve water supply reliability. 
    • The governance of the project is through the Los Vaqueros Reservoir JPA.
