In mid - March 2023 , the hillside west of Lopes Road became saturated from the series of winter rainstorms , causing a failure in Lopes Road that broke the City of Benicia’s water supply line and other underground utilities . Since then , both cities have been working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency ( FEMA ) and California Office of Emergency Services ( Cal - OES ) to receive financial support through public assistance grants .
On February 6 , 2024 , the Fairfield City Council awarded a design services contract to assemble engineering documents for permanent restoration of Lopes Road to Dewberry . Dewberry will also assist the City with project management and compliance with FEMA and Cal - OES grant funding requirements . Over the next several weeks , Dewberry will be conducting field investigations to validate pre - design work that began in January 2024 . Additional field investigations will include land surveying , underground utility identification , and installation of additional temporary and permanent hillside monitoring wells .
