Heads up trail users! Valley Water will be working at Vasona Dam from October 28 through November 22, 2024. Crews will replace a deteriorated section of a retaining wall that stabilizes the slope next to the Los Gatos Creek Trail. As such, trail users wanting to rejoin the trail before or after the blocked off-construction area are asked to follow the detour shown on the map. Valley Water understands that trail access is important to the community. They are prioritizing the safe and quick completion of this work. Please follow all directional signage and be cautious when near construction areas, as heavy equipment is being used. Vasona Reservoir covers a surface area of 57 acres with a maximum capacity of 463 acre-feet. Valley Water must regularly maintain this 89-year-old infrastructure to keep it operational and safe. Thank you for your patience as this critical infrastructure project is completed. 

Today's #tbtLG photo shows a corner view of a real estate office and Nuss & Hays Hardware. The year is probably 1916, as scaffolding is in place where the new logo for "Criders Department Store" will be painted on what had been the Opera House. #LosGatosHistory #ThrowbackThursday
