California’s largest reservoir in 50 years gets final approval, could break ground in June.

Plan for California’s largest reservoir in 50 years wins approval

Sites Reservoir will be situated in the sparsely populated hills in Colusa and Glenn counties, 70 miles NW of Sacto. Current cost is estimated at $6.2 to $6.8 billion. Bay Area will get some of the water. Sacto River water rights was the last right formally remaining. Now all that needs doing is securing financing, acquiring property and planning for litigation. You know...the easy stuff.

Capacity will be 1.5 million acre-feet, enough to supply more than three million households for a year. It would be the 8th largest reservoir in the state (out of 1,500+).

Groundbreaking is expected in June or July, 2027 with a finish date of late 2034.

I'll venture a guess that it costs at least $8b and is not completed until at least 2037

I'll venture a guess that the above is overly optimistic :-).
