North Interceptor Sewer Project Update – January 13, 2020

The North Interceptor Sewer Line Project is a large diameter sewer transmission line that will provide additional capacity to the City’s existing sewer infrastructure, replace portions of existing sewer infrastructure in need of repair, and give the City the ability to decommission several regional pump stations on the north side of the City, which reduces future ongoing operational costs

An interceptor sewer is a part of a sewer network that helps to control its flow. It receives the flow from trunk sewer lines and sometimes from storm water runoff and directs it to the wastewater treatment plant.

Upcoming Phase I Construction Activities:

• Crews will continue to install pipe from Hughes Road to the North Unit main canal
• Crews will begin restoring the North Unit Irrigation District Canal.  Please note that the canal service roads are closed to the public during this construction.
• Construction of the electrical building will continue.
• Construction of a new influent pump station at the Water Reclamation Facility continues to progress.
• Please continue to drive carefully through the area and respect all construction signs and personnel.
