Improve Drinking Water Quality and Water Related Infrastructure to Protect Public Health
California Street Sewer Replacement

  • Ensure that Disadvantaged and Underrepresented Communities Benefit from Initiatives
  • Promote Local Energy Independence, Water/ Energy Use Efficiency and Infrastructure Enhancements
  • Protect and Enhance Watersheds and Ecosystems that Provide Water Quality and Supply Benefits
  • Respect Local Autonomy and Local Knowledge in NCRP Planning and Implementation

NCRP IRWM Prop 1 Round 1 (DWR)
Completed
The project will replace the aging vitrified clay pipes on California Street to reduce the amount of groundwater entering the sewer system thereby reducing the possibility of a pond overflow, the possibility of sanitary sewer overflows in the collection system, and the likelihood of the City violating their NPDES permit limit on discharges to the Salt River.
