The North Interceptor Sewer Line is a large diameter sewer transmission line that allows the City to decommission pump stations and increase sewer capacity as part of the Community-supported Growth Plan.

The Project is broken up into three distinct Phases. Phase I is under construction and expected to be completed in Fall 2020. Phase II runs from the North Unit Main Canal near Pioneer Loop, through the City-owned Juniper Ridge property and across Hwy 97 to Clausen Road. 

Phase II construction will take place in three segments between June 2020 and Spring 2022.

• Segment 1 – Pioneer Loop to City-owned Juniper Ridge property
• Segment 2 – City-owned Juniper Ridge property
• Segment 3 – BNSF railroad, across HWY 97, to Clausen Road

Join Us Online for a Virtual Open House!

In light of restrictions on public gatherings, the City of Bend invites you to attend a virtual open house for Phase II construction. This virtual open house is a platform for you to interact remotely with the City and its contractors. The open house features virtual exhibits and provides the opportunity to:

• See the alignment in greater detail
• Get answers to your questions
• Learn more about what to expect during construction
• Offer comments and feedback
