Cooper's Ditch Re-Grading Phase II

DESIGN PENDING
This project will provide for the maintenance regrading of Cooper’s Ditch from the Gloria Dr. bridge to the Forest Rd. bridge. Cooper’s Ditch was excavated as a canal facility in the early 1990s. Over the years, significant amounts of silt and sediment have accumulated along the ditch, particularly close to roadway crossings. This project is needed to maintain the hydraulic capacity needed to serve the Cooper’s Ditch watershed.

Projected Design Start: November 2020
Projected Design Completion: October 2021
Project Budget: $1 million
