News release: Yuba Water funds Feather River levee improvements north of Marysville
Yuba Water Agency today committed a $1 million grant to further strengthen a levee on the east bank of the Feather River in Reclamation District 10 north of Marysville. … The funds will be used to complete the construction of an elevated access road on the land side toe of the levee along the Feather River in Yuba County. A levee toe is the edge of the levee where the base meets the natural ground. The latest improvements will focus on increasing access for maintenance, inspections and flood fight operations during high water events, increased embankment stability and reducing the risk of levee failure from underseepage.
