SJ County backs plan to strengthen Delta levees

San Joaquin County is officially supporting a measure by State Senator Jerry McNerney to upgrade Delta levees and repair the California Aqueduct.

Senate Bill 872 strengthens California’s existing water infrastructure by dedicating $300 million annually over 20 years for critical Delta levee repairs and improvements to existing State Water Project canals south of the Delta.

The legislation invests equally in protecting communities in the Sacramento San Joaquin Delta and in stabilizing canals that deliver water to millions of Californians.
