Document Description
The need for the proposed Project stems from trunk sewer failures that have occurred in multiple locations along the sewer line. Addressing the trunk's failing condition through replacement will have multiple benefits for the City and its resident, including preventing the risk of sewer overflows and spills that can be a hazard to public safety, the environment, existing infrastructure, and potential damage to private property. The proposed Project includes replacement of a failing sewer trunk within existing unpaved roadways near the intersection of Canal School Road and Hill Ferry Road to the WWTRF headworks. The replacement alignment would require approximately 4,959 feet of sewer line, 15 manholes, and a junction box. The existing sewer trunk would be flushed to the WWTP and abandoned in place below an agricultural field.
