Hinkle Reservoir Embankment Restoration and Repair Project

The Hinkle Reservoir Embankment Restoration and Repair Project involves the rehabilitation of the west and northwest embankment face and toe drainage swale at Hinkle Reservoir in California, serving as critical infrastructure for potable water storage. The work will address long-term erosion issues caused by water runoff, repairing rivulets that have formed on the embankment face and installing an armored layer of crushed rock to prevent future degradation. Concurrently, the existing silt-filled rock drainage swale at the toe of the embankment will be removed and replaced with a concrete-lined swale, designed for improved durability and easier maintenance. These upgrades are intended to extend the structural life of the embankment, enhance its resistance to erosion, and reduce ongoing maintenance needs and associated costs for the District. The project is managed by the San Juan Water District, with the work site located in the 95746 zip code area of California. The initiative is projected to provide long-term benefits to the District’s ratepayers by ensuring the reliability and efficiency of the reservoir’s infrastructure. All inquiries and communications should be directed to Mark Hargrove, Senior Engineer, at the provided contact information. The project was publicly posted on July 24, 2026, as a forecast for future procurement, indicating its upcoming availability for contractor bidding and execution under the District’s oversight.
