“State consultant and former Department of Water Resources manager Dave Gutierrez, who is advising on the project, said many of the shortcomings are the result of the dam’s age.”

““You can’t even find clay pipes anymore,” Gutierrez said, as he looked down from the top of the 770-foot earthen dam that was completed in 1968.”

Why would Gutierrez tell such an obvious untruth?

I just emailed the reporter and pointed out Gutierrez’ lie. We’ll see if he responds.

Is PVC actually more durable, over time, than clay pipe, provided it’s properly installed? There are a LOT of houses that have clay pipe for drain tile, and they’ve been around for 40, 50, 60+ years.
