The city’s CIP was prepared with the following goals:

• Ensure that existing infrastructure is maintained and replaced
• Provide for new capital projects to help meet the highest priority community growth needs
• Ensure that the CIP will be the blueprint for economic development in the community
• Develop and maintain recreational facilities
• Continue to form partnerships with citizens and businesses to leverage public funds and make Folsom a community of choice for living, working, and enjoying leisure activities

The purpose of the project is to provide necessary upgrades and redundancy to a critical part of the City's Water Treatment Plant. The construction work will occur near the north side of the City's Water Treatment Plant. This Capital Improvement Project includes installation of lamella tube tie-downs for the existing Actiflo system, adding plate settlers to the existing Basin No.5 flocculation/sedimentation basin, structural repairs to Basin No.5, and associate piping modifications to allow greater operational flexibility, and providing redundancy in this portion of the treatment system.

Work will begin in winter 2020 and will continue until the spring of 2022. For more information contact Nathan Stites at nstites@folsom.ca.us or 916-461-6167.

The Oak Avenue Pump Station Peak Wet Weather Flow Relief Project includes the installation of approximately 1,500 lineal feet of 12-inch sewer force main parallel to the existing force main. The project also includes the installation of plug valves, potholing to verify high points along the City’s existing force main, replacing/relocating air release valves along the City’s existing force main as necessary and the installation of various sewer appurtenances. These improvements will help provide system redundancy, enhance the performance of the City’s sewer force main and provide the City with operational flexibility during emergency conditions.

Construction work along East Bidwell Street  (between Oak Ave Pkwy and Clarksville Rd.) and on Oak Ave Parkway (between E. Bidwell St. and Blue Ravine Rd.) began in March 2021 and will continue through the spring of 2022. For more information contact the Environmental and Water Resources Department (916.461.6162 or ewrengineering@folsom.ca.us).

The Water System Rehabilitation Project No. 2 will address infrastructure improvements needed throughout the water distribution system at 13 different locations. This work includes installing isolation valves, providing water service redundancy at locations that only have one point of connection to the water system, and rebuilding pressure reducing stations to meet current City standards.

Construction work began in February 2022 and is anticipated to be completed within the year.

This project requires water service outages for some homes and businesses. Water customers affected by this work have been notified in advance, and detailed information, including the project schedule, is available on the city website.

The Natoma Alley (Stafford to Coloma) Rehabilitation and Replacement Project addresses ongoing maintenance problems and replaces approximately 5,000 lineal feet of sewer pipeline. The pipeline will rehabilitate existing pipeline in the alleys on either side of Natoma Street between Stafford and Coloma Street. 

This project will reduce inflow and infiltration, minimize annual maintenance costs, and minimize the risk of sewer overflows. The existing sewer lines run under existing buildings and in backyards with limited to no access. 

Work will begin in spring 2022 and will continue until December 2022. For more information contact Nathan Stites at nstites@folsom.ca.us or 916-461-6167.
