What's With the Water?
While a proposed rate increase on water rates is scheduled to go before public review, the City of Folsom is also trying to prepare for the future, in event of a major drought. The likelihood of expanding the city may have an impact, as Folsom will have less water to go around in low water years. Folsom hopes to have a 'dry-year plan' in place by 2009.

Finally, a "Real" College
Folsom Lake College is no longer a glorified set of portable classrooms. With the addition of 88,000 square feet of facilities, the junior college now feels like a "real college", with brand-new facilities, and a killer view of Folsom Lake. The school will continue to grow until at least 2015. Full storyLabels: Folsom Lake College, schools

New Spillways For Dam?
Local officials are looking into possibly adding a new spillway to Folsom Dam, as the original plan of modifying the dam has ballooned in costs. Increased flood control has been very much on the forefront in the wake of Hurrican Katrina, but nothing has been resolved yet. Story in the Bee.Labels: Folsom Dam

Coming Soon...
New businesses are on its way to Folsom - and many will be happy to hear they are not of the chain-store variety. In the new retail/office complex at Prairie City & Willard will be a New York-style deli, and rumors have it that an Indian-style grill and a sit-down restaurant will be in there as well. More details in the Bee.

City Says 'No' To Needles
Folsom City Council has officially voiced its opposition toward the sale of hypodermic needles without a prescription. Governor Schwarzenegger has signed a new Senate Bill allowing the sale of these needles, but only after getting government approval. Folsom has become the first Sacramento County city to make a stand.
