In 1877 the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company (SAVI) was incorporated to bring an irrigation system to the rich agricultural valley using the waters of the Santa Ana River. The new company hired Chinese workers a year earlier to begin digging the necessary ditches that eventually covered fifteen miles. Some of these workers worked on some of the valley’s farms and ranches while others were probably hired through Chinese labor bosses from places like San Francisco. Other Chinese workers were railroad construction workers. One of the outstanding SAVI accomplishments was the wooden tunnels. The Chinese workers built two one hundred yard long wooden tunnels to channel the Santa Ana River waters in 1878.
