Water fills the newly constructed sentiment drying beds on Holohan Road Wednesday as part of the College Lake Pipeline Project, which was designed to develop College Lake as a new water supply for the Pajaro Valley.

Six miles of 30-inch water main will transport treated water from a new College Lake facility on Holohan Road to more than 5,000 acres of farmland via the Coastal Distribution System already in place. 

Marcus Mendiola, Water Conservation and Outreach Specialist with the Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency, said he is excited by progress  of the work and that there is a good chance construction work and equipment will move off of public roads by the end of July. Night work on the project has also ended.
