Woodward Reservoir — a popular recreation area 16 miles northeast of Manteca — could close this summer in a bid by the South San Joaquin Irrigation District to conserve water. The SSJID board will consider closing the reservoir at 26 Mile Road and Dodds Road outside of Oakdale when they meet Tuesday at 9 a.m. at the district office, 11001 East Highway 120, Manteca. SSJID constructed Woodward in 1918 and has independent storage rights.
