If an earthquake were to occur on the calaveras fault near morgan hill, the dam at Anderson Reservoir could fail. Which is why water from this years heavy rains. Is still being released from the reservoir out of an abundance of caution. Kron fours rob fladeboe has the latest on that effort now live from morgan hill. Rob . rob live im here just below the dam where water continues to gush from a release valve into coyote creek. Its hard to believe this has been going on now for a couple of months. The bad news is that most of this water is headed for the bay and cant be captured or stored anywhere. But the good news is that the potential for a disaster resulting from an earthquake is less and less as the water level in the reservoir continues to fall. In 2009, the Santa Clara ValleyWater District was ordered by the federal Energy Regulatory commission to keep the level in Anderson Reservoir at or below 68 percent. Today it is 64 percent full but the releases are to continue until the level reaches 58 percent out of an abundance of caution. Marty grimes Santa Clara Valley water dist. For those same reasons were adding another level of safety between the 68 percent and the 58 percent, basically were adding another 9 feet of safety. The reason for that is that andersons earthen dam could theoretically fail in a magnitude 7. 25 earthquake, potentially flooding much of morgan hill and far south san jose. The lower the water level the lower the risk. Over the years weve learned more about the dam, weve learned about the faults that run under the dam and weve begun the design process so were now doing a larger project than we thought was necessary. 7 news anderson was 106 percent full and spilling over back in february, as we see in this video from kron4s helicopter partnership with abc7. A breach in a side channel that flooded highway 101 and the flood along coyote creek in san jose are nothing compared to the nightmare scenario of what could happen if the dam were to fail when the reservoir is full. Marty grimes Santa Clara Valley water dist. The chances of it failing are are extremely remote but its certainly not an acceptable chance to live with that in the long term because someday that fault could have a major earthquake. Once the level in anderson gets to 58 percent, water will be released from Coyote Reservoir upstream, near gilroy, because its dam too was built near a fault and could fail in a big earthquake. rob live the releases will continue until the middle of may. The power of the water flowing through here is something else. I can feel the force beneath my feet, sort of like an earthquake.
