Annual Maintenance

Placer County Water Agency conducts routine annual maintenance in the Middle Fork American River area during October and November. This helps maintain the hydroelectric generation units as part of the Middle Fork Project.

Outages may affect angling, hiking, equestrian riding and whitewater rafting. Check the events page for more information Events.

Maintenance is an integral part of preserving the long-term reliability of critical energy resources throughout California's electrical grid during peak demand periods. The Middle Fork Project is the eighth largest public power project in California.
