New 15th Avenue Pump Station

The Contractor is also beginning preparatory work to begin installing the pits for the trenchless sewer installation. They are currently working on installing a temporary sewer bypass on Geoffroy Drive. The excavation of the pits is tentatively scheduled to begin the week of January 11, 2016, though this schedule is not yet confirmed. A more specific timeframe will be provided as soon as it is available.

Friday there will be no work due to the New Year's Day holiday.

Holiday Work Schedule

The Contractor will not be working today or Christmas Day. The crew will be completing the sewer bypass on Geoffroy Drive early next week before taking New Year's Eve and New Year's Day off.

Once work resumes after the holidays, the Contractor expects to begin excavating the microtunneling pits. More details will be posted as they become available.

Happy Holidays!

Sewer Bypass Update

The Contractor is finishing up the 16th Avenue sewer bypass and starting the bypass on 14th Avenue today. The crew will be cleaning up 16th Avenue before moving their equipment over to 14th Avenue.

Expect a small crew and some equipment on 14th Avenue in the area shown on the map in the previous post. There may be some short traffic delays, but access to all residences will be maintained.

Additionally, work on the 15th Avenue pump station control panel slab continues. The Contractor expects the slab to be poured this Friday.

Sewer Bypass and 15th Ave Pump Station Work

The Contractor is currently constructing the 15th Avenue Pump Station's new control panel slab and plans to pour the slab at the end of this week. Once the slab has been poured, the new control panel will be installed.

Beginning this Friday, the Contractor will begin constructing sewer bypasses on 14th, 15th, and 16th Avenue as well as Geoffroy Drive in preparation for the microtunneling work. Sewer bypasses are used to reroute the existing sewer line around the limits of excavation. Installing bypasses allows the new manholes to be safely placed without an interruption to service. Bypass construction will occur at the areas shown in the map below.

Expect a small crew with some heavy equipment around the affected areas. There may be some short traffic delays, but access to all residences will be provided. As a reminder, feel free to call the project line at (831) 708-8285 with any questions.
