Rainy weather is a reminder to get ready before water becomes a problem. In Shasta Lake, residents can pick up sand at no charge to help prepare for rain and potential flooding.
The City of Shasta Lake has announced that community sand is available at the corner of Ashby Road and Fort Peck Street. The location is self serve, allowing residents to fill their own sandbags as needed.
There is one important detail to plan for before making the trip: the city provides the sand, but it does not provide bags. Residents must bring their own sandbags to fill.
The city is encouraging people to take advantage of the resource before the next storm arrives. Getting supplies ready ahead of time can help avoid a last minute scramble once rain begins.
