How much will it cost to repair and improve West Sacramento levee deficiencies?
West Sacramento estimates that it will cost about $400 million to improve approximately 52 miles of levees that surround and support the city. Because estimated costs far exceed the citys funding ability, state and federal assistance will be needed to pay for the majority of necessary improvements. State and federal dollars would help to pay for early stages of work, such as required feasibility studies, technical designs and construction planning documents, as well as construction. In the past, state and federal resources have provided as much as 90 cents on every dollar for levee improvements.
