After devastating floods along Coyote Creek in February 2017, which resulted in major damage and the evacuation of 14,000 residents, the Santa Clara Valley Water District has completed a $117 million project to prevent future flooding. Featuring flood walls and protective measures, this project covers 8,500 feet in areas heavily impacted by the floods. Community members remember the chaotic aftermath while district officials emphasize that although risks remain, they have significantly reduced them with these improvements.
The flood, on Feb. 21, 2017, was the worst flood on Coyote Creek since 1997, resulting in significant damage and community impacts.
The $117 million project aims to reduce flooding risks, featuring new flood walls along Coyote Creek where the community previously battled severe flooding.
