Print Feedback

Font Size: + -

The Southeast Interceptor (SEI) is a multi-purpose infrastructure addition to the City’s sewer collection system that provides capacity needs for the southwest, southeast, northeast, and central areas in Bend.

EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 7, 2018:

SOUTHEAST INTERCEPTOR IS 100% ACTIVE & FLOWING

All sewer pipe work is complete and the Southeast Interceptor is officially active!

This is a huge milestone for the City as it allows additional flows to be added to the system and initiates pump station decommissioning.

THE LINCHPIN FOR SOLVING BEND'S SEWER PROBLEMS

The City of Bend protects drinking water sources, public health, and the environment by conveying and treating wastewater from throughout the City. The SEI improved capacity for the southwest, southeast, northeast, and central areas in Bend. This project is noted by the Sewer Infrastructure Advisory Group (SIAG) as “the linchpin for solving Bend’s sewer problems” and has been approved by City Council.

Benefits include:

Provide the opportunity to decommission several sewer pump stations
Provide the availability of gravity sewer service to hundreds of homes that are currently on septic systems
