From Gold Rush Canals to Modern Water Systems.
In a region that spends much of the year in dry, arid conditions, one question stands outâhow does Citrus Heights maintain a reliable water supply year-round?
This engaging community presentation explores that story from its earliest roots to todayâs modern infrastructure. Retired Citrus Heights Water District General Manager Bob Churchill guides attendees through the evolution of local water systems, beginning with Gold Rushâera canals and tracing their transformation into the advanced network serving the community today.
Joining the discussion are regional water leaders Jason Aliviar of California American Water and Dan York, General Manager of Sacramento Suburban Water District, offering additional insight into how water is managed, delivered, and sustained across the area.
