Have you ever seen one of these on a parking lot? It's called a bioretention basin! A bioretention basin is a shallow, landscaped depression designed to capture, filter, and infiltrate stormwater using engineered soil media and vegetation. They are important for filtering pollutants that are often found in runoff. To learn more about efforts that keep local creeks and rivers clean, visit tinyurl.com/3b2t48f4

Have you ever seen a hydrovac truck in your neighborhood? 🏠 These powerful machines are used to pull out debris and standing water from catch basins and storm drains to clear blockages and restore proper water flow. This is very important to prevent and reduce floods in neighborhoods. ☔

Our hydrovacs produce around 2000 psi at the nozzle and push out 80 gallons per minute when our crews are hydro flushing. They hold 1400 gallons of freshwater
and have a 12 yard debris tank for collecting debris with the vacuum.

As we get closer to winter, DWR is preparing to tackle the rain! Learn more at stormready.org

Did you know that Sacramento County residents who live within special flood hazard areas are eligible to receive a 40% discount on their flood insurance☔? This was made possible due to FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program’s (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS) which recognizes Sacramento County as a Class 2 Community (there are a total of 10 class levels in FEMA’s CRS program). The rating is a voluntary incentive-based program that recognizes and encourages communities that exceed the FEMA minimum floodplain management standards and rewards communities with discounted flood insurance premiums. There are 1,504 communities nationwide that are taking part in the CRS program and only 97 in California. Sacramento County is the only community in California to achieve a Class 2 rating and is one of the ten communities nationwide to achieve this high rating 👏.

As a Class 2 Community, most NFIP policyholders in the unincorporated areas of Sacramento County will see a 40% discount on their flood insurance. This is just another example of how Sacramento County Department of Water Resources is using Storm Water Utility fees to provide flood protection.
