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.

Pump Station Work and Holiday

The Contractor will continue work at the new 15th Avenue Pump Station tomorrow. There will be no work on Thursday November 26 and Friday November 27 due to the Thanksgiving Holiday.

Work will resume on Monday November 30 at the 15th Avenue Pump Station as well as some potholing activities on 16th Avenue and Geoffroy Drive throughout next week.

Excavation of pits for the trenchless pipe work is expected to begin the following week (December 7, 2015) and continue throughout the month. Specific schedules for each street will be provided as the work approaches each area.

Trench Work at the 15th Avenue Pump Station

The Contractor will be taking advantage of a break in the weather to do some trench work in the driveway of the 15th Avenue Pump Station. The work will begin tomorrow, November 10th, and is scheduled to be complete by Thursday, November 12th.

During the driveway work, expect equipment to be moving between the pump station and staging area at the end of 15th Avenue with minimal traffic impact. Once the work is complete, the Contractor will continue potholing work.

Potholing Activity on 14th, 15th, 16th, Blackpoint Lane, and Geoffroy Drive

The Contractor began potholing today and will continue potholing through next week. A pothole is a small, localized area of excavation to confirm the location of underground utilities. Affected areas will be restored with temporary paving after the potholing activities have been completed. The activities will be taking place in the locations noted below.

Short traffic delays may be experienced around the construction crew. We ask that everyone follow the Contractor's instructions to safely pass the construction areas. If you have any questions, feel free to call the project line at: (831) 708-8285.
