This Capital Improvement Program for Angels Camp outlines a ten-year strategic roadmap from FY2025/26 to FY2035/36. It prioritizes capital projects across three main program areas: Transportation, Wastewater, and Water. The plan aims to enhance transportation infrastructure for connectivity, capacity, and emergency resilience; rehabilitate and improve the wastewater collection and treatment systems; and upgrade water distribution, transmission, and supply for reliability and compliance. Project prioritization considers health, safety, funding, community support, and long-term sustainability.
