PG&E continues making progress on repairs so water flows can resume to water agencies. We remain on schedule to restore flows through the Spaulding 1 powerhouse by end of July and restore flows in the South Yuba Pipe by end of August.

Crews have completed the precision welding of the steel liner at the powerhouse water discharge pipe and while waiting for grout to cure are reassembling the pressure relief valve and auxiliary equipment. Concrete footings at the South Yuba Pipe bench are curing and PG&E is preparing the pipe to be flown in and placed by helicopter later in July, then weld and bolt the pipe into place.

Work at the powerhouse continues 24/7 and 12-hours every day for the South Yuba Pipe, which was damaged in a winter storm rockslide.
