Updated findings from an ongoing study of Anderson Dam were released in October, 2010, indicated that the dam could fail if a magnitude 7.25 earthquake occurred within 2 kilometers of the dam, potentially releasing a wall of water high into downtown Morgan Hill in 14 minutes, and deep into San Jose within three hours. In response SCVWD has lowered the water to 54 percent full, which is below the dam crest. According to the SCVWD, remediation of the problem will likely require lengthy construction that would take up to six years and cost as much as $100 million.
