§ 11253 Hogan Dam Operations

This law lets the state use an old dam called 'Old Hogan' while they build a new one called 'New Hogan'. Once the new one is done, they can connect the two.

Key Takeaways

  • •The state can use the old dam ('Old Hogan') while building the new dam ('New Hogan').
  • •Once the new dam is built, the state can connect the old and new dams to work together.
  • •This is about managing water resources during construction.

Example

Imagine you have an old water tank in your backyard, and you're building a new one. While building the new one, you can still use the old tank to store water.

The state can use the old dam to control water while they build the new dam. When the new dam is ready, they can make both dams work together.
