City Manager’s Project Update: Water and Sewer Improvements Nearly Complete in Grace Neighborhood
Construction to replace and upgrade aged-out water and sewer pipes in the Grace neighborhood is nearly complete and two months ahead of schedule. Investing in our water infrastructure is essential for protecting our water future. The project, located on East Haven Drive from Eleanor Avenue to East Foothill Drive, Hawthorne Court, Iris Court, and along Eleanor Avenue, replaced 1,550 feet of water pipe and 2,150 feet of sewer pipe that were installed in the 1940s and 50s. The improvements included upsizing the water mains to increase fire flow and reducing maintenance costs associated with breaks and leaks from aged pipes. Construction included replacing six sidewalk curb ramps and completely repaving the streets. LEARN MORE

Volunteers are needed to work with underserved youth in the Junior Giants program this summer.

In addition to playing ball, kids participate in the Round-the-Bases Reading Program, the Strike-Out Bullying Contest, and the Four Bases of Character Development—Confidence, Integrity, Leadership, and Teamwork. No baseball knowledge is needed to volunteer, just a desire to mentor youth and help them thrive. LEARN MORE
