| Description | It was called, not always fondly, "Gubser's pipe," an appendage that dead-ended 250 feet under the San Luis Reservoir dam below Pacheco Pass east of Gilroy.
Charlie Gubser, a Republican congressman, wangled the 1.8-mile intake to be built along with the dam in the early 1960s just in case. Congress and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation had not yet approved the San Felipe Project as a water-importation plan for the valley, so "Gubser's pipe" could have been a boondoggle. |
