3 issues in water utilities with high priority
Pump House One Replacement on the Sacramento River
The city's 87-year-old main water intake is being replaced for $74 million, mostly covered by a $50 million low-interest state loan. The project will also restore Ginny Creek and improve river trail access.
Tarmac Road storm drain collapse
A storm drain culvert under Tarmac Road collapsed after heavy winter storms, and it's the only way in or out for about 50 homes. The city is doing an emergency replacement costing about $4.15 million, hoping the state reimburses 75%.
Hartnell Oaks flooding and storm drain adequacy
The Hartnell Oaks apartment complex flooded again in December's storm when a city storm drain clogged, displacing 22 tenants. The owner asked for a grant program or budget line to fix a drainage problem the family says has recurred for 50 years.
