- The Department of Water Resources (DWR) San Joaquin Field Division (SJFD) performs yearly maintenance to the State Water Project (SWP). This requires that specific portions of the California Aqueduct (CAAQ) coastal branch be shut down and emptied of all water, so that SJFD personnel can safely perform the various maintenance activities (electrical, mechanical, corrosion protection, inspection). This work, known as the 2020 Coastal Outage, will require the dewatering of the Devil's Den Pumping Plant Forebay(DEPP), the Bluestone Pumping Plant Forebay(BLPP), and Polonio Pumping Plant forebay(POPP). Water from BLPP and POPP will be discharged into an adjacent natural drainages. Water from DEPP will be discharged into a nearby sediment basin. The 2019 Coastal Outage will begin on October 5, 2020 and end November 25, 2020. Dewatering activities will begin will take approximately 10-14 days to complete. The project benefits public and private lands that depend on the California Aqueduct water delivery.
