Welcome to Sacramento
 Typical of California informality, Sacramento is referred to by many names. The most prevalent are: Capital City, River City (due to the two major rivers which run through the city), and the City of Trees. However, the nickname most used by those living in the area is simply Sacto, Sactown or Sac. This is evident when residents refer to areas and landmarks by this name. Old Sac is the original town of Sacramento which to this day is maintained. The Big Tomato, Sacratomato, and Sack O' Tomatoes continue to be used despite the ongoing triumph of tract houses over tomato fields, perhaps in reference to the perceived pastorality of Sacramento in comparison to denser cities such as San Francisco and Los Angeles.

If you are looking at visiting, Sacramento certainly offers the best to its visitors.

Mayor Kevin Johnson Addresses Grand Jury Report

Today Mayor Kevin Johnson issued the following statement regarding a Sacramento County grand
jury that claims city misconduct over utility funds:

“The Grand Jury report claims there's been an absence of accountability in city government, and this is
an issue I've talked about since I ran for office. It's why I believe we need to update our charter and
create accountability in the Mayor's office. I'm not going to point fingers, because part of the problem
is our system of government, where authority is spread among too many people.

Even though these issues happened before I was elected, I'm very concerned, and will be following up
with staff to see how we can not only resolve these issues but prevent them."

City of Sacramento to Issue “Spare the Water Alert” During Summer Heat Waves

Sacramento, Calif. – The City of Sacramento Department of Utilities today announced their plans to issue a “Spare the Water Alert” during projected heat waves, urging customers to cut back non-essential water use to both conserve water and energy.
“When temperatures reach their peak, demand for water stretches the City’s treatment and pumping abilities, making it difficult to refill storage supplies overnight,” said Department of Utilities Director and Assistant City Manager Marty Hanneman. “Refilling these supplies is critical to running the distribution system efficiently, having enough water pressure and retaining adequate reserves for fire emergencies.”

In addition, energy costs for treating and pumping water to homes are typically most expensive during peak temperatures, especially during late afternoon when electricity demand is high. This means higher energy costs for the City, and can mean higher water and energy bills for customers.

“People may not realize the important link between water and energy, but electricity is our single largest expense as a water provider,” Hanneman said. “So, when it comes to conserving water and energy, especially during peak temperatures and hours, turning off the faucet is like turning off a light.”
