Panel Repair at Mile Marker 208.85

The California Department of Water Resources plans to repair a misaligned concrete panel within the California Aqueduct at Mile Marker 208.85, a necessary maintenance activity to ensure the structural integrity and function of the aqueduct. The work will involve using a boom truck to lift the displaced panel, while a hydro vacuum truck removes accumulated debris from the area. A backhoe may support the lifting process and assist in transporting removed material, with hand tools employed as needed for precision tasks. All operations are confined to the Department’s right-of-way and are expected to be completed within approximately one week. The project is being managed under the San Joaquin Field Division and is part of routine infrastructure upkeep. Elizabeth Maldonado, Senior Environmental Scientist (Specialist), serves as the primary point of contact for the project and can be reached at 661-858-5662 or elizabeth.maldonado@water.ca.gov. The initiative is forecasted with a posting date of June 30, 2025, and no formal solicitation number has been assigned at this time. The work is critical to preserving the aqueduct’s operational efficiency and is being conducted in coordination with state water management protocols.
