 In response, the Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD) lowered the water level to 74 percent of capacity and announced further analysis of the situation, which could possibly result in retrofitting the dam if necessary.Updated findings in October, 2010 indicated that the dam could fail if a magnitude 7.25 earthquake occurred within 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% full, which is feet below the dam crest.
