of california
in the house of representatives
Ms. MATSUI. Mr. Speaker, for decades, the Sacramento Area Sewer District has played a vital role in safeguarding the health and well- being of our communities by maintaining and operating one of the Nation's most extensive wastewater collection systems. Serving more than 1.6 million residents across the Sacramento region, the District manages over 5,000 miles of sewer pipelines and 112 pump stations, ensuring reliable wastewater service throughout the region.
especially important in rural and underserved communities where aging and failing septic systems pose significant risks to groundwater, waterways, and public health. With support from federal funding, alongside critical state and local investments, the Sacramento Area Sewer District successfully connected 57 households in Hood and 28 households in Franklin to reliable public sewer service. These projects reduce the threat of septic leakage and contamination to nearby drinking wells and sensitive waterways, including Franklin Creek, Stone Lake Slough, and the Sacramento River.
represent an investment in environmental justice and quality of life for Sacramento County residents. By replacing outdated septic systems with modern sewer connections, the District is helping to protect
and ensure safer and cleaner neighborhoods for future generations. This achievement reflects the dedication and expertise of the Sacramento Area Sewer District's leadership, engineers, field crews, and community partners who continue to work tirelessly to deliver essential services to the people of Sacramento County. Their efforts have strengthened regional infrastructure while preserving the natural resources that are vital to California's future.
Mr. Speaker, I ask all my colleagues to join me in recognizing the Sacramento Area Sewer District for its leadership and continued commitment to advancing public health, environmental protection, and infrastructure modernization through its Septic-to-Sewer Conversion Projects.
