Aging subterranean infrastructure in Sacramento will get a boost from $3.5 million in federal funding that will pay for future underground reservoirs to harden parts of the combined storm and sewage system within the city’s core.
The funding was celebrated Friday during a news conference in Land Park to outline the project with Rep. Doris Matsui, D-Sacramento, and city leaders including County Supervisor Patrick Kennedy and City Councilman Rick Jennings.
The project includes two underground reservoirs, at W and 25th streets in Newton Booth and near 24th and K streets in midtown, which are expected to begin construction within five years, the city said in a news release.
