Sandbags Now Available

SUISUN CITY - With forecasts of moderate to heavy rain starting this weekend, now is the time to make final preparations if your home is in an area prone to street flooding.

Two self-serve sandbag stations are located near the Fire Station on Pintail Avenue and behind City Hall near the Solano Yacht Club.  Bring a shovel to fill sandbags, but please don't take more than you need to make sure there are enough for all who need them.

Public Works crews have checked and cleared all the street drains and main storm drains. Check the roof drains on your home and on your property to ensure they are performing properly.  Remove any build up fallen leaves to ensure they don't clog your drains.

If you see any flooding situations, please stay clear and report them to the Public Safety dispatch center at 707-421-7373.

Sandbag Stations Deployed

The Suisun City Public Works Department is out in the field getting the community ready for the upcoming winter rain season.

In addition to unclogging storm drains and making sure the canals are flowing free, Public Works has set up two self-serve sandbag stations for City residents around the clock. If your property is prone to localized flooding, now is a good time to visit one of the stations to get the sandbags that you need. (If you have empty sandbags and a shovel, bring those as supplies sometimes run low.)

They are located behind the Fire Station on Pintail and behind City Hall adjacent to the Solano Yacht Club. >>Click here for a map of the locations>>
