Sacramento County is updating its Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) to reduce risks from floods, droughts, and other natural hazards. We need your input! Go to https://t.co/63Bz4LnFim to learn how to get involved.
We're protecting our water supply by checking for mussels weekly through inspections & collecting samples at our Sacramento River intake system. Samples are sent to California Department of Fish & Wildlife to be analyzed for the DNA of golden mussels. So far, no infestation.
Golden mussels pose a serious and fast-growing threat to California’s water infrastructure and require a sustained and coordinated response. DWR is deploying a comprehensive strategy with our partners to mitigate the impact of golden mussel infestation and prevent further colonization. By combining science, engineering, prevention, and collaboration, we are working to slow the spread of golden mussels, protect California’s water infrastructure, and maintain reliable water deliveries for the millions of Californians and hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland.

It's Trivia Tuesday! Billy Goat Gruff and his four-legged friends have been munching their way through Sacramento County creeks. How many acres of vegetation did they remove from local creeks? We'll share the answer by the end of the day!
Flood protection starts long before the rain. Our Storm Crews work year-round to keep creeks and channels flowing freely, helping to reduce flood risk. Learn more: https://t.co/z8pdIw1dri
As you enjoy the sunshine with your furry friends, please remember to pick up after your pet. Waste left behind can pollute our waterways. Let’s keep our trails, parks, and waterways clean and healthy for everyone this spring and summer.
