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 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 Fall 2023.

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 fall of 2023. For more information contact Kelsie Gugino at kgugino@folsom.ca.us or 916-461-6166.

This project involves the replacement and upsizing of the City's Water Treatment Plant (WTP) reclaimed backwash water pumps and pipeline. The EPA allows Water Agencies to recycle up to 10% of the WTP design capacity. Currently, the City only recycles 4% of its design capacity. This project will allow the City to recycle 10% of design capacity.

Work began in summer 2022 and will continue until the winter of 2023. For more information contact Kelsie Gugino at kgugino@folsom.ca.us or 916-461-6166.

This project involves the decommissioning of the existing, active Pump Station 3, installing a flow diversion structure, and other miscellaneous sewer system modifications. By modifying the existing sewer infrastructure and installing the flow diversion structure, the small volume of flow that is sent to Pump Station 3 can be diverted to Pump Station 2 which will allow Pump Station 2 to run more efficiently. For potential emergency and operational purposes, the City will purchase and install a new trailer mounted portable bypass pump at the Pump Station 3 facility. The portable bypass pump and existing ancillary equipment associated with Pump Station 3 will serve as a backup to Pump Station 2 in the event that Pump Station 2 needs to be taken out of service.

This project will allow the city to save the costs of rehabilitating the existing Pump Station 3 while increasing efficiency of Pump Station 2 and increasing the sewer systems operational flexibility.

Construction began in June 2023 and is anticipated to continue until spring of 2024. For more information contact Nathan Stites at nstites@folsom.ca.us or 916-461-6167.

The Ashland Water Rehabilitation Project 1 involves rehabilitating an existing water transmission main along Folsom Auburn Boulevard and Greenback Lane to provide an emergency water intertie to the City from San Juan Water District. The project includes performing an inspection and condition assessment of the existing main, installation of new isolation valves, removal and replacement of water main that has reached the end of its service life, and replacement of an existing PRV station and installation of electrical and instrumentation upgrades including SCADA programming.

Construction is anticipated to begin summer of 2023 and be completed summer 2024. For more information contact Nathan Stites at nstites@folsom.ca.us or 916-461-6167.
