F-S Sewer District begins long-range infrastructure planning
The Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District, which provides wastewater service to Fairfield, Suisun City and Travis Air Force Base, is kicking off a long-range planning initiative. The purpose of the initiative is to “safeguard nearly $1 billion in aging infrastructure and control future costs.” “Our goal is to plan smarter now so we complete needed replacements and upgrades responsibly and efficiently,” Engineering Manager Irene O’Sullivan said in a statement. “This is about continuing safe and reliable sewer service to our community.” Many facilities are more than 50 years old. ”The district is investing $2.8 million, 1.5% of its 10-year capital budget, into a series of master plans for sewer collection, treatment, recycled water, storm drainage and mapping systems,” the statement said. The master plans were unveiled during a recent district board meeting. The Fairfield and Suisun City council members sit as the directors.
