(Yuba-Sutter, CA) – The Yuba Water Agency yesterday committed another $1-million grant for levee improvement, specifically, this million goes toward further strengthening the east bank of the Feather River, north of Marysville in District 10.

The latest improvements will focus on increasing access for maintenance, inspection & flood fighting operations during high water events, increased embankment stability and reducing the risk of levee failure from under-seepage according to a YWA release.

Yuba Water’s latest $1-million grant for this particular project is in addition to $2.3-million previously granted to help Reclamation District 10 reinforce the levee.
