Where To Get Sandbags in Campbell

Pick up sandbags at the Campbell Public Works Service Center

 

Things are getting choppy out there and the National Weather is saying we won't be catching a break until Sunday night.

If you think it might flood or you live near one of the many creeks in Campbell, you should keep some sandbags nearby.

The Campbell Public Works Service Center at 290 Dillon Ave. hands out free sand and bags to residents between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Residents have to fill their own bags and there's a 25-bag limit. But if you need assistance or are an elderly person, you can call 408-265-2600, and the Santa Clara Valley Water District will let you know where you can pick up pre-filled bags, said Debbie Cifelli, office assistance at the public works service yard.

Sandbags can also be picked up at:

Santa Clara Valley Water District Warehouse
5905 Winfield Blvd.
San Jose, CA 95123
PH: 1(888) 439-6624

City of Palo Alto (Adjacent to Palo Alto Air Terminal)
1925 Embarcadero Road
Palo Alto, CA 94303
No phone number is available for this facility.

For additional flood safety tips, call the Santa Clara Valley Water District at 1-888-HEY-NOAH (439-6624) or visit the website.

I am impressed with CalTrans ability to do the cleanup, but the problem of homelessness does not goRead More away. Until we find a way to help these people in need, the camps will just move to another location, and everything will start all over again. The homeless need help - whether they want it or not. It's time to get that ball rolling.

Who is Tony Faber? Here is some history from a family member. My name is Karen Hunt and myRead More grandfather is and was Albert Jacob Faber. He owned and ran that bike shop up until his death in 1975. Subsequent to grandpa's death the house/building became the property of my grandmother, Lucille Faber. Upon her death, the property went to my mother, Jackie Faber-Cornick. In 1978, the business, not the building was sold to Alex Lariviere and he has conducted business since. The building was never sold and belongs to my mom, Jackie Cornick. It was her great-grandparents home back in the 1920's. We are shocked and saddened by this tremendous loss. At this time, we are trying to decide the fate of that beloved building. We are currently awaiting forensics tests, engineering and structural reports, and working with the City to keep it safe and prevent it from being vandalized and becoming a blight. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about the history of Faber's Cyclery. My grandfather was a man of character and integrity. Sadly, neither of his two sons became involved in the business. With that said, anybody claiming to be a Faber or son of Albert Jacob, is just misrepresenting the truth. Thank you for sharing your story and memories! Very truly yours, Karen Hunt Great grandaughter of the owner of the Original Fabers Cyclery.
