North Interceptor Sewer Project Update – March 5, 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.

The North Interceptor Sewer Line Project is divided into three distinct phases. Phase I is under construction and expected to be completed in September 2020. Prior to Phase II and III, more information will be made available on design and construction timelines.

Bend’s infrastructure projects are a long-term investment in our community, focusing on protecting public health and the environment and supporting local economic development and jobs.

Upcoming Activities:

  • Crews are completing the final restoration of the North Unit Irrigation District Canal, including sealing, cleaning, and turnover to the Irrigation District.
  • Installation of the mainline pipe continues, with approximately 1,500 linear feet remaining.
  • Finish work will continue on the electrical building at the Water Reclamation Facility.
  • Crews will hydro test the pump station at the Water Reclamation Facility.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation during the design and construction of this important infrastructure project.
