Anderson Dam in Santa Clara County is now a $2.3 billion fix. Less than two years ago, the estimate was $1.2 billion. Design is 90% done. Work to be completed from 2026 to 2032. Will likely see a water bond on next November's ballot...will definitely see higher water rates in Silicon Valley. They are also considering killing a $2.5 billion dam at Pacheco Pass, which environmentalists oppose.

And Gavin Newsom is putting Stites Reservoir (Colusa and Glenn Counties, 1.5 million AF) on the fast track, which would be the largest dam constructed in California in a half-century.

I'll believe Sites is fast-tracked when I see a CEQA waiver coming out of the governor's office.  Without that, you're looking at ten years of litigation.
