Before excavation begins, the asphalt will be removed from the approximately 10 foot wide by 10 foot long section of DWR’s Aqueduct road. Once the asphalt is removed, SLWD will excavate an area approximately 10 feet wide by 110 feet long by 4 feet deep to access the pipe, approximately 41 cubic yards of material will be removed. SLWD will remove approximately 110 feet of the damaged 12-inch diameter pipe and will replace it with a new section.

Vehicles and equipment will be staged on the established Aqueduct roads and road shoulders.
