For this Photo Friday, we thought we’d highlight one
of our lesser known dams in the Peninsula Crystal Springs Watershed – Stone Dam.
This small dam was
built in 1871 approximately two miles away from Pilarcitos Dam (which was
constructed in 1866).
Spring Valley Water Company constructed Stone Dam to take
advantage of the lower Pilarcitos Creek Watershed. Water impounded at Stone Dam
on San Mateo Creek impounds about 5 million gallons of water (in contrast to
nearby Pilarcitos Reservoir which can store 1 billion gallons of water).
Happy Friday!
