What Salida buildings need, and when
Salida is the largest unincorporated community in Stanislaus County, and its housing went up in one long burst. Of 4,337 units counted by the American Community Survey, 2,174 were built in the 1990s and 862 in the 1980s, against 180 from before 1950; the median year built is 1993. Single-family detached houses account for 4,110 of them.
The calendar runs on the wet season, and the sewer plant measures it. Rain drives infiltration and inflow into Salida's pipes from December through March and occasionally as late as May, and the largest recent peak day at the Pirrone Road plant was 1.88 million gallons on 25 October 2021, the day after 1.34 inches fell at Modesto airport. Gutters, laterals and lot inlets are cleared in autumn, and paving, sealcoating, painting and roofing are held for July to September, when the flows and the rainfall both fall away.
The Stanislaus River marks the northern edge and the county line with it. The nearest gauge sits across the water at Ripon, where the Weather Service treats 60 feet as minor flooding: the record annual peak came on 24 December 1955 at 63.25 feet, nothing since 1970 has reached the 60 foot mark, and the January 2023 high water stopped at 50.43 feet. USGS peak streamflow holds the record.
Below ground is the other constant here. Farm wells around the wastewater plant run 140 to 540 feet into an aquifer the river recharges, with groundwater standing 20 to 40 feet above sea level and declining about half a foot a year. In old town the sewer lines are prone to grease build-up, which the Sanitary District clears on a schedule.
Salida areas served
Every Salida service page works through these twelve areas separately, because the buildings and the ground beneath them differ across the plan area.
Downtown Salida and Broadway Avenue
The commercial core, with a landscaped median west of Curtis Street, parallel parking east of it and a service alley behind the lots.
Salida Boulevard
The staffed fire station at 4820 Salida Boulevard, shared with the Sheriff's Office, stands here, beside road work built with the interchange.
Kiernan Avenue (SR 219) interchange
A freeway junction carrying about 137,000 vehicles a day, with 27,500 on Kiernan itself and a storm drain pump station in the rebuild.
Hammett Road interchange and the northwest Amendment Area
Regional commercial, highway commercial and two business park areas, with a planned expressway of up to ten lanes reaching the freeway here.
Pirrone Road and the wastewater plant on the Stanislaus River
The treatment plant between the river and an irrigation canal, ringed by nine rapid infiltration basins and three percolation ponds.
Stanislaus River Park lands
About 244 acres set aside for a regional park on land inside habitat and flood easements controlled by the Army Corps of Engineers.
Stoddard Road and Sisk Road
Joseph Gregori High School and the school district office, plus two former industrial sites the Sanitary District serves from outside its boundary.
Toomes Road and Murphy Road
Flory Industries, Vella Middle School and BMC West Lumber, with neighborhood commercial planned at Covert and Toomes.
North Gateway planned industrial lands
Industrial land east of Sisk Road under a 2003 master development plan, holding most of the Amendment Area's 1,259 industrial acres.
Ciccarelli Road and Ladd Road fire stations
An unstaffed station in excellent condition built for growth that did not come, and a second rated poor, now used by a private business.
Existing Plan Area and the Sanitary District
About 1,485 district acres with 4,038 residential and 238 commercial connections, most of it developed before the 2007 community plan.
South of Kiernan Avenue, within Modesto's sphere of influence
Land inside the City of Modesto's sphere, where two areas were annexed to the City without leaving the fire district.
Questions from Salida owners and managers
Seven road miles separate Salida from the Modesto base, which puts the emergency trades on a 60 to 90 minute window, day or night. Planned trades are handled differently: the request is screened and handed to a contractor for that trade, and the appointment is agreed with that contractor rather than promised in advance.
Salida is unincorporated, so the Stanislaus County Building Permits Division at 1010 10th Street in Modesto handles it, and the contractor assigned to the request files there. New construction, additions, alterations, upgrades, rebuilding and remodeling all need one. Some project types can be filed online through the County's permit portal, and a flood development permit normally travels with the application.
Yes. Each address goes in as its own request, and a Broadway shopfront, a 1990s house and a Sisk Road unit then sit side by side in the client area with separate files, photographs and schedules. Where one incident pulls in several trades at one address, they are run together under a single file.
Water damage restoration, fire and smoke damage, mold remediation, storm damage and board-up, and biohazard cleanup are the five reached on the emergency line at any hour. The remaining seventeen, roofing, paving, construction, remodeling, debris and maintenance among them, come in through the request form and are scheduled with the assigned contractor.
Rain does get into Salida's sewers. The recycled water study records inflow and infiltration raising plant flows every year from December through March, and ties the largest recent peak day, 1.88 million gallons on 25 October 2021, to heavy rain in the Salida area. In old town the lines are also prone to grease build-up, which the District clears.
