Updated Frequently Asked Questions in Response to Community Engagement Workshops

In May 2025, the City’s Vic Trace Reservoir Replacement Project team hosted two Community Engagement Workshops. Attendees learned more about the Project and asked questions. City staff gathered community feedback and created a Project Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document. The FAQ, posted to SantaBarbaraCA.gov/VicTrace, includes questions most commonly raised and provides answers based on the Project’s status today. 
 
The Project team will continue to update the FAQ as the Project progresses. Any additional questions and/or feedback can be directed to Kelly Bourque, Senior Project Engineer at VicTrace@SantaBarbaraCA.gov or (805) 564-5579.
