SAVE ALMADEN LAKE S C V Water District, City of San Jose, CA Cal-Fire: PROTECT US FROM FIRE: PRESERVE ALMADEN LAKE

The Issue

Almaden Lake is a long time landmark in our community and is slated to be redesigned by the Water District. Not only is it beautiful it is used by Cal-Fire to put out fires here in the Santa Teresa Foothills. The Santa Clara Valley Water District has decided to clean up and redesign the lake. Some of the options include filling in all or part of the lake with land. This is undesirable for the residents as well as for anyone who enjoys the water feature. This is particularly dangerous because the lake is used to put out fires in our foothills.

Dear LB, et al - Councilmember Khamis asked me to let all of you know that he does NOT support filling in the lake. He appreciates your opposition to the proposals that would eliminate Almaden Lake.
