24th Street Improvement Project

The City of Sacramento is planning a project, called the 24th Street Wet Weather Storage Improvements, to help reduce flooding in Midtown during heavy rainstorms.

The project will construct a large storage pipe underground that is designed to prevent outflows in the City's combined stormwater / wastewater system with the goals of:

  • Minimizing street flooding during a "10-year" storm
  • Helping prevent structure flooding during a "100-year" storm

It includes a new 120-inch diameter pipeline—one of the largest in Sacramento’s combined system—on 24th Street from H to N streets and K Street between 24th and 25th streets.

The project will also including repaving the entire roadway along with striping improvements.
