LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – This Saturday, community members and officials will be on hand to celebrate a significant milestone in Lake County’s recovery from the devastating Valley and Clayton fires.
During a ceremony scheduled for 10 a.m. at the Anderson Springs Recreation Center, ground will officially be broken on the $10.5 million Anderson Springs wastewater collection system.
The community also will celebrate homes that will be rebuilt in the area and remember the two-year anniversary of the Valley fire.
Refreshments will be provided and the community is invited to attend.
Congressman Mike Thompson, Sen. Mike McGuire, Assemblywoman Cecilia Aguiar-Curry, Lake County officials and state agency representatives will all be on hand to participate in the event.
“I cannot say thank you enough for the amazing work by so many at the local, state and federal levels of government who have made these projects a reality,” Sen. McGuire said. “Sept. 30 will be a true milestone in the recovery process from these devastating fires. We all know there is a lot more work in front of us, but we wanted to take a moment to celebrate these important investments that will help make South Lake County stronger in the years to come.”
The event on the morning of Saturday, Sept. 30, will be emceed by Sen. McGuire and will kick off with Congressman Thompson, acting as emcee.
Aguiar-Curry, Lake County Supervisors Rob Brown and Moke Simon, as well as representatives from Cal Fire, the State Water Board and the California Department of Emergency Services also will be on hand to speak at the event.
The officials will then ceremonially “break ground” on the Anderson Springs Wastewater Collection System.
“Two years ago, the Valley fire tore through our community, taking homes, livelihoods and equity from thousands in our community,” said Thompson. “Today, while we still have a long way to go, I’m so proud of how we’ve been able to rally together and make significant progress in rebuilding. The Anderson Springs wastewater project is another big step towards getting our county back on its feet. Between this and the rest of the ongoing recovery efforts under way in south Lake County, I have no doubt that we will rebuild our community stronger and better than ever.”
“The residents of Lake County are some of the most resilient people I’ve met throughout Assembly District 4,” Aguiar-Curry said. “I am honored to work alongside Congressman Thompson, Sen. McGuire and the local community to help rebuild, revitalize and support economic development in Lake County.”
