Greetings, all. We have another round of storms ahead of us with a strong potential for flooding downstream of the Sierra Nevada. Flooding is NOT supposed to be like the floods of 1997.

Woot Woot!

Our Public Works employees are out rain or shine, even when many of us get to stay warm and dry inside. Our crews were out recently in the pouring rain jetting sewer lines because they had rented the equipment and needed to get the work done. A hearty thank you to these employees who work hard every day maintaining our utility systems, picking up trash, mowing lawns, fixing irrigation, digging trenches, saving puppies from storm drain pipes and fishing keys, phones, rings and all sorts of things from places many of us don’t want to stick our hands. Thank you, Public Works!
