City Council Meeting - Feb 4, 2026
Major water pipe work starts soon on Foothill and Kimball Roads — expect weekday detours from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. It's the second phase of the Telegraph Road water project and should make the water system more reliable.
We'll email you when it's on an upcoming agenda and when it's voted on, at most once a day.
