Stevens Creek Bank Repair Work

Post Date:08/24/2015
Stevens Creek Bank Repair Project

The Santa Clara Valley Water District will work in the neighborhood near Clearcreek Court to repair two eroded bank sites along Stevens Creek, approximately 1,000 feet north of Stevens Creek Boulevard. This project will repair 280 feet of creek bank by stabilizing the bank to minimize erosion. Securing the creek bank protects homes and property along the creek. It also minimizes sediment build-up improving the creek’s capacity to carry floodwaters, while maintaining a stable and healthy creek ecosystem. The repairs will improve water quality by reducing erosion and will provide increased fish habitat.

Work will start in late August and take approximately three weeks to complete.* Project work hours are 8 am to 4 pm, Monday through Saturday. In order to minimize duration of construction, Saturday is included.

A five-person crew will work at the project site using a small loader, excavators, dump trucks, crew trucks, pumps and other heavy equipment. Expect typical construction noise during work hours. A generator, designed to operate more quietly, will continuously pump water around the project site and back into the creek farther downstream. Trucks and crews will access the creek from Creston Drive and Clearcreek Court. Expect no road closures, but traffic control or flaggers may be needed at times during work for safety.
