Water Supply

The City of American Canyon’s water comes from the North Bay Aqueduct (State Water Project). Water pressure is maintained at 50 to 100 psi with flows sufficient to meet the needs of most commercial and industrial projects. The City also receives both raw and treated water through agreements with the Cities of Vallejo and Napa. The City recently expanded its water treatment plant to increase capacity from 2.6 to 5.2 million gallons per day.

Sewer Service

The sewer service area extends from Napa/Solano County line north to Fagan Creek. American Canyon completed construction in 2002 of its own new 2.57 million gallon per day wastewater treatment facility designed to meet very strict state standards. Recycled water meeting Title 22 is available for sale, and a distribution system is being developed.
