Document Description
Emergency cleaning and repair by City forces of a 33-year old sewer line for a distance of approximately 21,519 feet. Approximately 93 manholes along 21,519 feet of 8-, 10-, 12-, 15-, 18-inch diameter sewer pipeline will need to be accessed. Severe root intrusion, heavy debris and grease, infiltration and mineral deposits have been observed in many sections of this line. Several emergency repairs and sewer overflows have occurred here in the past. Access to more manholes may be required and could include side canyons if necessary. Construction will include utilizing low impact equipment for grading and repair of maintenance access, including the installation of water crossings if needed. All work will be monitored by a biologist and erosion control measures will be implemented.
