Under the project, the Santa Clara Valley Water District would expand the Pacheco Reservoir so it can store much more water, giving the South Bay a bigger reserve in a drought.
The agency said its project is being misunderstood and unfairly targeted by the mayor, adding the rate hike claim is incorrect and noting that the agency already has a $500 million grant from the state.
Valley Water officials say they obtained the grant because the project was the best of its kind. It does serve as an emergency water supply for Valley Water, as well as protection for disadvantaged communities. It actually eases some of the pull that we have on the Delta, said Christopher Hakes of the Santa Clara Valley Water District.

In what may become an iconic image for drought-stricken California, Gov. Gavin Newsom stood on the parched bed of Lake Mendocino on April 21 to announce an emergency declaration for Sonoma and Mendocino counties.
“I’m standing currently 40 feet underwater,” he said, “or should be standing 40 feet underwater, save for this rather historic moment.”
Newsom’s point was that the reservoir was at a historically low 43% of capacity, the harbinger of what could be a devastating drought cycle not only for the Northern California counties that fell within his drought declaration, but for most of the state indeed, the American West.
