Road closures and detours are in effect on Tiger Creek Road and in the Tiger Creek Regulator Reservoir area due to construction on the Amador Water Agency Gravity Supply Line. 

Tiger Creek Road is currently closed to through traffic beyond Tiger Creek powerhousefrom 7am to 7pm, Monday through Friday. Detour signs direct travelers to the Tiger Creek Regulator area to use Panther Creek or Ellis Roads. The pipeline contractor has permission to work Saturdays but has not needed to exercise that option to date. 

Also, the Regulator Access Road is currently closed 24/7 due to safety hazards in that area. This closure only affects direct access to the Tiger Creek Regulator and will be reopened when excavated areas are repaired.

Road closures and detours in the area are expected through the summer and fall.

The 6.6-mile Gravity Supply Line will deliver Mokelumne River water from the Tiger Creek Regulator Reservoir to AWA’s Buckhorn Water Treatment Plant and replace the current aging pumped raw water delivery system, greatly reducing operating costs and power-related water interruptions for upcountry water customers.

Amador Water Agency thanks the public for their patience during construction of this critical infrastructure improvement. Please contact Bailey Civil Engineering at (209) 256-6510 with any questions or concerns.
