Septic to Sewer Open House

The City will hold a Septic to Sewer Project Open House on Tuesday, May 15, 2015 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at the Bend Senior Center, 1600 SE Reed Market Rd, Bend, OR 97702.

With the new Southeast Interceptor sewer pipeline completed, sewer service is now available for previously unserved areas in southeast Bend. The goal of the SE Bend Septic to Sewer Project is to design a neighborhood sewer system and develop a financing strategy that will provide sewer service to approximately 550 southeast homes in the project area that currently rely on septic systems.

The Open House is designed for homeowners in the project area and other interested stakeholders to learn more about the project, interim rules for unsewered properties and potential solutions. 

The project area is bounded by Reed Market Road to the north, 15th Street to the east, Ferguson Road to the south, and generally west of the COID irrigation canal.

A 12-member Citizen Advisory Committee, which is meeting monthly over the course of the project, is helping to find solutions and will make recommendations to the City Council.

At the Open House, homeowners in the project area will also have an early opportunity to suggest a hook-up location for their property.
