The City’s Department of Utilities soon will begin maintenance work along critical infrastructure in the City’s flood-control system.
This maintenance will be similar to the critical infrastructure work the City has performed in the past years and is expected to take several weeks to complete.
Work will soon be performed on the Sacramento River levee near downtown, on ditches near Arden Garden Connector, Woodlake Park and Kiefer Boulevard, as well as Union House, Upper Morrison and Elder creeks.
The work performed will include vegetation management, removing debris that blocks service roads and flow areas and repairing gates and fencing.
Utilities staff are working with the City Manager’s Office, City Attorney’s Office and the Department of Community Response to help ensure the safety and wellbeing of City staff and those camping in impacted areas.
“Resources and support will be provided to the most vulnerable members of our community while our partners in the Department of Utilities make sure our critical infrastructure receives the maintenance that it needs,” said City Homeless Services Manager Nick Golling. “The Department of Community Response will be reaching out to those experiencing homelessness, providing referral and connection to safe and stable programs in the community.”
The Department of Community Response will be coordinating with local service providers to perform outreach and connect people with services.
Below is a schedule of work locations and notification dates.
