Boulder Creek, CA, April 11, 2020 - The San Lorenzo Valley Water District (SLVWD) today announced it is working with the County of Santa Cruz Department of Public Works to replace a water main on Bear Creek Road that was damaged in January 2020.

This work will require closing Bear Creek Road at the stop sign (mile post marker 1.71) from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday April 13, 2020 through Friday April 17, 2020. Construction activities are being performed during the evening hours to minimize traffic impacts on the community.
