Flood Control Measures For Calaveras Residents

Sponsored by:

San Andreas, CA — Sand and gravel bags are available for Calaveras residents still needing to prepare their properties for the latest precipitation.

The Calaveras County Public Works Department is currently offering the bags at nine locations across its jurisdiction. The bags, which are available free of charge for county residents, are intended to help provide flood control measures for structure protection. Before heading out to any of the locations, residents are reminded to bring some sort of proof of residency, such as a driver’s license with a local address; or an additional document, such as a vehicle registration or utility bill with a local address.
