Document Description
The proposed project will replace the existing 30-inch force main valve at the East Cliff Pump Station, install a flow meter on the existing force main, and install a bypass system which will allow the District to bypass the pump station during construction of this project, as well as for future maintenance operations and emergency conditions. The existing 30-inch force main valve is no longer operable and is required to complete critical maintenance activities to the existing sewer main pipe. Replacement of the force main valve and installation of the flow meter will occur within the existing D.A. Porath sanitation facility. Work to install the bypass system will take place in the existing paved driveway and in the unpaved driveway shoulder. The project has been designed to avoid impacts to existing trees that occur nearby. Specifications are included in the project design to ensure avoidance of impacts to sensitive resources that may occur adjacent to the work area.
