1 Downtown Culvert Reinforcement Feasibility Study: Structural feasibility study to evaluate reinforcement options for the Downtown Mill Creek Culvert, which extends approximately 2,800 feet from Santa Fe Steet to Floral Street beneath multiple downtown structures. The study will assess lining and rehabilitation strategies to extend the useful life of the culvert, protect critical infrastructure, and reduce long-term maintenance risks. The analysis will also identify potential grant funding opportunities to support future capital improvements to this essential stormwater conveyance facility. Eng New - - N/A 400,000 2 Mill Creek Embankment Reconstruction: Reconstruct and stabilize the Mill Creek embankments between Willis Street and West Street using engineered erosion control measures. Ongoing erosion caused by creek flow and channel curvature has led to embankment deterioration and potential impacts to nearby infrastructure. Reconstruction will restore bank stability, protect adjacent facilities, and maintain the long-term functionality of this designated waterway while reducing future maintenance and emergency repair costs. Project total of $4m. Eng CP0570 - - B15 200,000 367,600 3,442,600 3 Annual Storm Lift Station Rehabilitation: This ongoing program rehabilitates one to two storm lift stations annually by replacing standardized pumps, bases, and rails, repairing structural concrete components, and applying protective coatings. The city operates at approximately 36 storm lift stations, many of which are aging and in need of rehabilitation. Proactive rehabilitation extends asset life by approximately 20 years, improves system reliability and reduces the likelihood of emergency failures during storm events.

New, higher-efficiency pumps will improve operational reliability, reduce maintenance needs, and ensure adequate system performance during peak storm events. Replacement costs vary from $30K to $70K based on pump size and system requirements. WW CP0339 - - N/A 100,000 100,000 150,000 150,000 150,000 150,000 5 Annual Culvert Grate Installations: Purchase and installation of culvert grates at various bridge crossings throughout the city. Grates help deter unauthorized encampments, prevent debris accumulation, and reduce the risk of blockages that can contribute to localized flooding during storm events. Approximately one to three grates will be installed annually based on priority locations and operational needs.

2026/27 - 2031/32 Capital Improvement Program
Fund Description: This fund includes monies generated from storm sewer user fees. The fees for this fund are collected with the monthly utility bill and each parcel is charged $.24 per 1,000 square foot. Also, in April of 2013, Visalia rate payers voted to support the use of the Kaweah Lake Enlargement fee to improve storm water channel maintenance and reduce the chance of flooding, changing it to the Kaweah lake Enlargement and Local Storm Water Maintenance Fee. A portion of this fee is transferred to this fund annually for this use. Funds are to be used only for operation, maintenance, and improvements, including equipment and vehicle acquisitions related to collection and disposal of storm runoff.
Cash Balance Summary
Additional Information: A storm master plan is currently being developed. Once the master plan is approved a nexus study will be conducted to potencially increase fees. To minimize the proposed deficit in the fund, projects were defered to outer years.

7 Annual Storm Drainage Replacement: This citywide program evaluates, repairs, and replaces aging storm drainage infrastructure, including pipelines, manholes, culverts, and related system components. The program includes routine video inspection to identify deficiencies and prioritize repairs. Replacement of undersized or deteriorated infrastructure will improve drainage capacity, reduce nuisance flooding, and maintain system performance as the network ages.

Repairs and upgrades improve drainage performance and help alleviate localized flooding in areas with known system deficiencies. WRF CP8245 - - N/A 5,000 5,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 9 Purchase Catch Basin Markers: This project installs standardized catch basin markers throughout the City's stormwater system to improve public awareness and regulatory compliance. The city maintains 7,031 catch basins, many of which lack clear identification and pollution-prevention messaging. Installing standardized catch basin markers will support public education, reduce illicit discharges, and improve compliance with stormwater permit requirements. Markers help residents recognize storm drains and discourage dumping of contaminants that flow directly to waterways. This effort enhances the City’s stormwater program, supports regulatory mandates, and improves basin visibility for maintenance crews. Because the project benefits the stormwater system exclusively, all costs will be funded through the Storm Sewer Fund (481). WW New - - N/A 40,000 10 Purchase a New Remote Skidsteer and Attachments: There are currently 50 culverts in the city that are too small for collections personnel to maintain. These culverts are only serviced when blockages in the flow cause backups and flooding. Purchasing a remote skidsteer that can fit into areas not suitable for a human would enable collections personnel to take a proactive approach to servicing these culverts to prevent flooding events. WW New - - N/A 109,200 11 Replace Vac-Con: This vehicle equipment is used to clean sanitary sewer and storm mains, preventing them from being plugged which can cause property damage and health risks. The California Air Resources Control Board (CARB)’s Advanced Clean Fleet regulation requires the transition of heavy-duty fleets state-wide to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) by 2045. The regulation requires specified incremental progress toward this transition to maintain compliance. Multi-funded in the amount of $900,000, with a 75/25 split, funded from $675K WRF (431) and $225k Storm Sewer (481).
