Alta/Almond Sewer and Water Rehabilitation

Alta/Almond Sewer and Water Rehabilitation

Much of the water and sewer infrastructure in the project area is the original installation and has been in service for 50 years. This project is intended to rehabilitate existing utilities and while doing so, brings these utilities to current standards.

The work will include:

  • Replacement of the water system in its entirety with 8” PVC mains.
  • Replacement of sewer “street” (lower) laterals to each residence and install cleanouts.
  • Repair the 10” diameter sewer on Southwest Boulevard and in Almond Street from Southwest Boulevard to Alta Avenue with a cured-in-place liner, since the pipe is in fair condition. This avoids extensive demolition and replacement work in the landscaped median. 
  • Replacement of manholes where the new mains are being constructed and rehabilitate the interior of the manholes on the 10” sewer.
  • Connection of the water main at Burton Avenue with the main at Southwest Boulevard near Almond Street.
