Member Submitted News

Earlier this year, the rupture of Yuba Water Agency’s penstock pipe marked one of the most significant challenges in the agency’s modern history.

In addition to causing extensive damage to critical infrastructure, the incident has reduced water delivery and hydroelectric generation capacity, affecting revenue that supports flood risk reduction, environmental stewardship and other critical community investments.

In a new video update, Yuba Water General Manager Willie Whittlesey reflects on the impact of the incident, the progress made to date and the agency’s ongoing commitment to restoring facilities and services for the benefit of Yuba County and the broader region. Watch the video, “Yuba Water: Colgate Penstock Incident Response and Recovery” on YouTube , Vimeo or on the agency’s recovery website.
