Preparing For Wicked Weather This Weekend

San Andreas, CA – As wet weather is forecast to move through the Mother Lode this weekend the public will have additional locations to get sandbags in Calaveras County.

The public works department has added two new sites for those wishing to pick up sandbags and sand. Those new locations are in Valley Springs and have been fully stocked.
