The District completed the Sewer System Rehabilitation Plan (SSRP) Phase 1 in July 2018. The study focused on condition deficiencies throughout the system.

The project will address sewer capacity deficiencies but mostly condition deficiencies including sags, cracks and offsets. The 6-inch sewer main will be replaced by 8 or 10-inch mains.

 

SA Associates is the engineering firm that has been selected to design sewer replacements, new manholes, spot repairs, restoring existing sewer laterals and the repair of intruding laterals and manhole channels. SA Associates will generate the plans and contract documents to construct the proposed project. The project limits are highlighted in the Location Map, the streets impacted are: Emerson Avenue, Russell Avenue, Andy Reese Court, Central Avenue, Imperial Avenue, Hope Street, Larson Avenue, Dakota Avenue and Flower Street.
