Abstract

The article reports on the plan of County Sanitation District 1 (CSD-1) in Rancho Cordova, California to construct a new pump station in the area without objections from the local community. CSD-1 offers wastewater collection for several unorganized areas in California. The project team, composed of the representatives from CSD-1 and MWH Americas Inc., were aware that public acceptance would be crucial to the success of the project. However, the team succeeded in gathering support from the local residents after reaching out to the community and addressing their concerns, thereby ensuring no considerable complaints while construction is in progress. The team found that the outreach drives gave valuable input to the project's design and construction phases and minimized costs.
