PG&E continues to make great progress on repairs of the Bear River Canal in Placer County.
Concrete work continues as the walls of the canal are erected.
Over Memorial Day weekend, flows through the temporary bypass were increased and are now averaging about 41 cubic-feet of water per second (cfs).
Work to restore the full flow of the canal is ahead of schedule. Final concrete work on the new canal walls is underway.
PG&E continues to work with both water agencies affected by the damage to the canal, and with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for final approval of the repair work.
Meanwhile, the Sacramento Bee gave its readers an update on the progress. The story notes that mild, wet weather and the “faster than expected” installation of a bypass both have improved the situation.
