Originally restricted to high school students, this fifth annual video contest was opened up to sheltering families and all ages groups in response to school campus closures and the Shelter-at-Home Order. Contest sponsors include the Cities of Napa, American Canyon, St. Helena, and Calistoga, the Town of Yountville, Napa County, and the Napa County Resource Conservation District (RCD).

Coombs Street, Sycamore Street and Franklin Street. Preparation for pipeline installation will be taking place and may require some short-term traffic control.
During the week of June 29th, pipeline installation will begin on S. Coombs Street north of Imola Avenue. Please expect parking restrictions and one-way traffic control.
The pipeline work will continue on South Coombs Street throughout June and the summer months. Parking restrictions and one-way traffic control will be in place. Please plan an alternate travel route to avoid the area if possible. 
For additional information about the project, please visit www.napasan.com/bvproject.  


What is the Browns Valley Trunk Sewer Project?
Wastewater from the Browns Valley area and Southwest Napa currently flows through over-capacity sewer pipelines to the West Napa Pump Station on its way to the treatment plant. The Browns Valley Trunk Project is designed to intercept this wastewater and divert the flow away from sewer lines that are over capacity via a new pipeline that will deliver the wastewater to NapaSan for treatment.  Additional project information can be found at www.napasan.com/bvproject.  At this link, you can also sign up for email updates about the project. If you have further questions concerning the project, please call the project hotline at (707) 540-9964.
