Approximately 10 miles of local flood control channels were used for shelter by unhoused individuals last year, according to an annual summary report on homeless encampment activity from the Zone 7 Water Agency.
In 2020, encampments were found in nearly a third of the agency's 37-mile flood channels, and 11 cleanup events were conducted at four primary sites. All of the cleanups were held in Livermore, except for one each in Pleasanton and Dublin.
General Manager Valerie Pryor told the Weekly, "A couple of these were citizen complaints but most of them were known encampment sites that Zone 7 and city staff had been coordinating with for a couple of months."
