FLOOD-14
Support water district investments in new and/or upgraded existing infrastructure to ensure that freshwater supplies are not contaminated, degraded, or lost during flood events.
Benefits: Floodwaters may interact with sources of pollution and disperse hazardous substances locally or regionally, potentially impairing freshwater supplies. Safeguarding freshwater supply sources through infrastructure improvements (e.g., backflow preventers) would improve Sacramento County’s ability to provide drinking water to its residents during flood events.
Timeframe: Near term
