Construction in McCall Avenue and Fancher Creek Detention Basin
HAPPENING NOW PART OF A LARGER PROJECT Construction of concrete storm drain pipeline in Mc- These two projects are part of a larger partnership Call Avenue between Princeton and McKinley Avenues project between FID and FMFCD. The ‘Fresno began July 7, 2020 and is scheduled to run through the Stormwater Capture, Retention and Reuse Project’ is end of September, 2020. Just over half a mile of 72” a multi-benefit stormwater pipeline will connect the Fresno Irrigation District’s project, at seven sites (FID) Gould Canal to the Fresno Metropolitan Flood spread across south Fresno Control District’s (FMFCD) 271-acre Fancher Creek from east to west. It is a Detention Basin at McKinley Avenue. The pipeline $12 million project, with will deliver stormwater from the canal to the basin for 70% of funding provided two main purposes: by the State of California’s • To improve flood protection and operational Proposition 1 Storm flexibility: Allow routing of stormwater out of Water Grant Program Gould Canal to increase canal capacity, which then (Prop 1 SWGP).

The 30% local cost share will be split by FID and FMFCD. • To improve regional water supply self-reliance: Rather than being routed of the local region, In addition to the work described here, two more stormwater from Gould Canal can be routed to the FMFCD stormwater basins will be connected to nearby basin and allowed to percolate through the soil to canals to allow them to receive and retain stormwater recharge the local groundwater aquifer. for flood protection and groundwater recharge.
