Project Overview

Basics

CLEAN AND ABUNDANT WATER FOR HUMAN COMMUNITIES
Ensure Water Supply Reliability and Quality
Summers Lane Reservoir Project

  • Address Climate Change and Extreme Event Effects, Impacts and Vulnerabilities
  • Conserve and Restore Salmonid Habitats and Ecosystems
  • Conserve, Enhance and Restore Watersheds and Ecosystems that Support Biological Diversity
  • Ensure that Disadvantaged and Underrepresented Communities Benefit from Initiatives
  • Improve Drinking Water Quality and Water Related Infrastructure to Protect Public Health
  • Respect Local Autonomy and Local Knowledge in NCRP Planning and Implementation

NCRP IRWM Prop 84 Drought (DWR)
Completed
The project constructed a 45 acre-foot reservoir to store water delivered from Waterfall Gulch, which is approximately two miles south of the reservoir site. This reservoir increases the availability of water to the City of Fort Bragg, increasing the community's resiliency to climate change.

General Information

Project Description Narrative (1,000 character limit)
Summers Lane Reservoir is a 45 acre-foot reservoir with associated piping, and security enclosure on a 40-acre site. Construction of the reservoir has been essential in maintaining a reliable, consistent water supply for the Fort Bragg community. Additional benefits of constructing the reservoir include: continued compliance with permitted Noyo River appropriative water rights, decreased reliance on the Noyo River source, reduced pumping/electric costs, reduced greenhouse emissions, and improvements to salmonid habitat.
