Annual Sewer Replacement Project Commencing
The City’s annual sewer replacement project will begin in late January 2018 and is estimated to be completed by September 2018. Construction work hours are restricted from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. near school locations, Monday through Friday. The work will consist of replacing aging sewer mains, laterals, and manholes at the following streets. The Streets below are listed west to east across the island:

Taylor Ave. | 600 | Sixth St. | Webster St. |

The City will phase the construction by block and will make every effort to minimize all disruptions. Sewer service will not be interrupted. The contractor will work to keep one lane of traffic open at all times, but motorists and residents may experience minor disruptions in traffic, temporary loss of on-street parking, an increase in noise levels, and dust during construction.
The City and contractor will give advanced notice prior to working on the particular block, and will also place “No Parking” signs 72-hours in advance of the planned work to advise when the work will begin and parking restrictions will become effective.
The City appreciates your cooperation and patience, and apologizes in advance for any inconvenience this project may cause. Questions or information regarding the project should be directed to Flavio Barrantes at (510) 747-7952. This project is funded by the Sewer Enterprise Fund.
