Document Description
The Project is located at 125-137 Hillside Avenue in Kentfield, California (see Figure 1). Emergency rehabilitation/repair is needed to restore sewer service to two residences in Kentfield after a tree fell during a storm that occurred on February 4, 2025 and its uprooting demolished the sewer main, rodhole, and two attached private sewer laterals. Regular sewer service was interrupted at residences 237 Hillside Ave. and 230 Hillside Ave., and temporary service established. One other residence is affected by this damaged sewer main at 125 Hillside Ave., where part of the sewer main easement and a private lateral connection are located.
The sewer main and rodhole would be replaced (see Figure 1). The sewer main is approximately 180 feet long, and begins at rodhole no. R532.090, which was dislodged by the fallen tree. This sewer main line is a high frequency cleaning (HFC) line and therefore a priority candidate for replacement to conserve Operations & Maintenance personnel resources. The sewer main would be replaced in its same horizontal alignment via pipe bursting in an easement on 125 and 137 Hillside Ave., including re-connecting the private lateral from 125 Hillside Ave., terminating at the shallow manhole no. R532.030 on Hillside Avenue.
