North Haiwee Dam No. 2 

Project Background
North and South Haiwee Reservoirs are the southernmost Los Angeles Aqueduct reservoirs in Inyo County separated by Merritt Dam. Haiwee Reservoirs are approximately 5 miles south of the intersection of US-395 Highway and SR-190 and just east of US-395 Highway. Construction of North Haiwee Dam was completed in February 1913.

Scope of Work
The purpose of the North Haiwee Project is to contain the water in North Haiwee Reservoir in the event the existing North Haiwee Reservoir fails due to an earthquake. A new earthfill embankment dam will be constructed north of the existing dam to improve the seismic reliability of the North Haiwee Reservoir. Construction of the new dam will require the realignment of Cactus Flats Road and the Los Angeles Aqueduct Channel.
