With the rainy season kicking off, the City of Citrus Heights is offering free sandbag resources to help residents prepare for potential flooding.
Two self-serve sandbag stations are now open, one located at City Hall and the other at C-Bar-C Park. Each resident is eligible to receive up to 10 sandbags per day. Residents need to bring a photo ID to City Hall, where sandbags can be picked up before filling them at either station.
The stations are designed to be user-friendly but are self-serve, so residents should bring their own shovels or tools to fill the bags with sand. The city has also provided an instructional video with tips on how to properly fill and place sandbags to maximize their effectiveness in diverting water and protecting property.
City officials encourage residents to take advantage of the stations early and prepare their homes in advance of heavy rainfall. By making sandbags accessible at two convenient locations, Citrus Heights aims to support community safety and readiness throughout the winter months.
